American Chronicle: Islamic Extremist Propaganda by the Economist

"Islamic Extremist Propaganda by the Economist

Dr. Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
May 21, 2007

In a previous article, we criticized a provocative forgery that was shamelessly published in the Economist (under a subversive title “The Meaning of Freedom”
http://www.economist.com/world/international/displaystory.cfm?story_id=9149827).

We rebuked the erroneous assumption that the Islamic headscarf is just an innocent piece of fabric that makes no problem in the proper function of a democratic society.

As we had long explained the incompatibility of that antihuman piece of fabric with Democracy, we re-published excerpts from an authoritative book describing daily life at the times of Harun al Rashid in Baghdad; this shows that authentic, historical, Islam was comfortable with tolerance towards free sexual life, appreciation of material pleasures, involving debauchery, cabarets, dance, concerts, excessive drinking of wine and other alcoholic drinks, etc – isolating then elements that prevailed throughout Islam over the past few centuries, and became the epicenter of a new, ahistorical Islam over the past decades."
