@karl From Sweden has a question
Dear all, there is a lot of debate, politics, confusion and conflicts about Islam in Sweden and Europe right now coming with the rapid increase of the migration, due to war in the Middle East, putting some stress on our culture and systems.
Here are six questions I have. A bit lengthy piece of text, I know (please refer to my numbering when discussing them so I can keep track )
1) Is it possible for a nation with Islamic history to become a modern liberal democracy like Sweden, which emerged from a Christian history? Or does a country where Islam is the dominant religion have to be authoritarian and patriarchal in its political system?
