Muslims mistake coercion for morality. They think Islam is the only religion that prohibits fornication because people in Christian countries can have sex outside marriage. They think Islam is the only religion that condemns homosexuality because people in Christian countries are free to engage in same-sex relationships. What they fail to understand is that the absence of visible immorality in Islamic societies is not proof of moral superiority. It is the result of coercion, intimidation, and punishment. Islam does not make people more moral by threatening them into obedience. It merely teaches them to conceal what they would otherwise do openly. A society in which people behave a certain way because they fear punishment is not necessarily a virtuous society. It may simply be a society of terrified hypocrites. Islam’s moral system is not superior to Christianity’s. It is profoundly inferior, because it confuses forced conformity with genuine virtue, outward submission with inward conviction, and fear with righteousness. Christian morality calls people to choose what is right, even when they are free to choose what is wrong. Islamic coercion seeks to eliminate that freedom and then takes credit for the resulting obedience. And that is the fundamental disaster of Islam as a political order: it sacrifices liberty on the altar of enforced morality, then celebrates the destruction of freedom as a moral achievement. But without freedom, virtue becomes meaningless, and society loses the very foundation on which every good thing rests.
