I’m Muslim, so its OK to be Drug Dealer

Posted in Lunch Time Post by me on the February 17th, 2007

In Australia, a Muslim man tried to play on the mercy of the court to get out of drug trafficing charge.  Bilal “Bobby” Vagh said that because he was an innocent little Muslim that knew nothing of the world around.  Fortunately, the court had some common sense to uphold his six year sentence for dealing in speed, LSD and ecstasy.

What didn’t wash with me is the fact this guy lived almost all of twenty two years in a western culture.  Admittedly his strict Muslim upbringing may have partially shielded him and made ”Bobby” vulnerable.  

Isn’t one of main tenants of Islam that the use of drugs is one of biggest sins?  Aren’t cabbies in the US refusing to pick up people who have alcohol in their bags?  Sorry Bobby, but your argument doesn’t was for someone who has a ’strict Muslim upbringing’ and whose ’father lectured in Islamic studies.’
