There are towns in Canada that are "dry". Most reserves are dry too and we see how well that's working out.Quote from: "iron horse jockey"

I forgot about dry areas. Mass prohibition was still a fail though.

Wrong. There is nothing in any religion quite like Islam.
In his new book Islamic Exceptionalism, Shadi Hamid a scholar at Brookings, and a self-identified liberal calls that a "well-intentioned red herring." He says Islam really is different from other religions, he says, and many Muslims view politics, theocracy, and violence differently than do Christians, Jews, or non-religious people in Europe and the United States.
He said, "I see very little reason to think secularism is going to win out in the war of ideas. But the question is: Why would it in the first place? Why would that even be our starting presumption as American observers? It's presumptuous and patronizing to think a different religion is going to follow the same basic trajectory as Christianity"
I did a search of Shadi Hamid..
He pointed out something I knew and that is what we consider secular Malaysia and Indonesia actually have more sharia bylaws at the local level than many Middle Eastern nations..
He calls Muhammad astate builder, and to build a state you need to capture territory, which requires violence..
He summed up Islamism in a sentence asthe attempt to reconcile pre-modern Islamic law with the modern nation state.
I have no problem with that and some Christians want to bring faith into the public sphere even though the Lord recognized the separation of state and faith..Maybe if Muslims form majorities in some jurisdictions in the future they may enact bylaws that are centred around Islamic law..
We'll see I guess.
Not in our country.
And what if they did place restrictions on alcohol at the local level..
You and I aren't drinkers..
I can see Mel, Odinson, Herman and perhaps Shen Li and Seoul being angry, but it won't affect us.
