Quran: The Fountainhead of Islamic Law (Sharia): in Bloomington, MN

Western civilization attained modernity after the reformation of the Judeo-Christian traditions. Waking up from the Christian church's suffocating grip, the distinction between the secular and the spiritual emerged. Centuries of sectarian infighting among Europe's Christians further strengthened secularization. However, the weakening of ties with God throughout modern history opened a Pandora's box of relativistic ideologies with nothing permanent to hold on to. Secular societies, despite their spectacular success in science, economic development, good governance, and free societies, face many social ills from an Islamic morals standpoint: Degradation of environment, breakup of traditional family, children born and raised by unmarried mothers without a male role model, rising divorce rate, decreasing population due to low birth rates, liberal abortions, alcoholism and premature deaths, drug abuse, and above all money as the real god.
