As an athiest oppose many of the Bushes policies but do you believe that George Bush is such an immoral person that he would invade a country, start a war, and have people die, just so he can make money? Who started the War?IS THE WORLD AT WAR WITH ISLAM?
Definitely Not.IS ISLAM AT WAR WITH THE WORLD? OH, YEAH!
I
like to believe there is good in people and that scenario sounds a little far-fetched. For 10 minutes, stop thinking of Bush as the worst person in the world and then reexamine the situation.
Why so much violence? Why terror in the name of Islam?
Some say Christians modernized; why can’t Muslims? There is a simple answer to that. The New Testament does not contain so much violence and terror as does the Quran. I donít think the Bible is factual. It is mostly myths and legends. Nonetheless, the Jesus of the Bible, even though mythical, is a saintly figure. He is the embodiment of goodness. So if you donít mind believing in fairytales, Christianity can make you a good person. Of course fanatics are everywhere but the message if Christ is not fanatical. Recall when the Pharisees brought a prostitute to him, asking him what to do with her! His response was: Let the one who has not sinned throw the first stone. If you really practice this teaching alone you will become a good human being. And isn’t this the purported purpose of religions?
But Islam is different. The author of Islam was a vile man. He is not a mythological figure. He really existed and his acts are recorded. Many ludicrous miracles are attributed to him but once you put aside all those nonsense and study this manís life, the portrait of a psychopath emerges. Muhammad was anything but saintly. There is not a single act of goodness in this manís entire life. Even his kindness and generosity were manipulative and politically motivated. Take the example of his largesse to the Meccans. He raided the big tribe of Hawazin, killed many of them, took away all their belongings and captured their wives and children. Their elders came to him supplicating for mercy. They brought along Shima, his milk-sister, the daughter of Halima who had nursed him for five years when he was a child to tell him about his childhood among them and to soften his heart. She reminded him how she used to carry him on her back and how tenderly her people took care of him. He told them if they convert to Islam they can choose between their loved ones and their property. Is that a choice? They chose their loved ones. Then Muhammad gave all the booty stolen from these nomads to the potentates of Mecca . Those higher in rank received more. Other tribes who had taken part in the war and had helped him win, protested. They asked for their share and were about to start a mutiny. He made a Imoving speech and said "I want to soften the hearts of the Meccans towards Islam and told those who had received nothing;You take the Prophet of God with you instead. Which you prefer? The wealth of this world or the messenger of Allah?î
This cunning man was a master of deceptions and manipulations. He ruined the lives of thousands of Hawazin, killed them and stole all their herds, camels, and properties and gave them to the wealthy Meccans to is often their hearts towards Islam. There is not a single episode in this man’s life that was done out of the goodness of his heart. Every act he performed was calculated and manipulative. He was a psychopath narcissist much worse than Hitler.
The difference between Christianity and Islam is in Jesus and Muhammad. This is the difference between day and night. Jesus was the symbol of goodness and Muhammad was the incarnation of everything that is abhorrent and evil.
Can Islam be reformed? No it can’t! To reform Islam you have to first get rid of Muhammad and second get rid of the Quran. You have to take out a great portion of that book. But this you can’t because you have no authority to do such thing. Muhammad said that he has perfected his religion. 5:3 How can you improve something that is perfect? You canít change the Quran. You canít reform it. All you can do is to reinterpret and pretend ìslay the unbelievers wherever you find themî means something else.
Or you can say these parts of the Quran are no more applicable. The problem is that who can decide which parts of the Quran are applicable and which parts are obsolete? Who has such authority to make this decision? If you rely on your own conscience and say the verses that call for murder are outdated, someone else like Khomeni could protest and say Why do you Mullahs only go after the ordinances of prayer and fasting? Why do you only read the Quranic verses of mercy and do not read the verses of killing? Quran says; kill, imprison! Why are you only clinging to the part that talks about mercy? Mercy is against God.
FROM THE KORAN ITSELF...
"HEIL HITLER" Now Upgraded to "ALLAH AKBAR?"
You may already know about this one: O ye who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for friends. [al-Ma’idah 5:51.11]
But did you know that there are 123 verses in the Quran concerning fighting and killing for the cause of Allah? Here are but a few passages:
– Muslims are encouraged to be wholly occupied (Sura 2:273) with fighting for Allah’s cause.
– Allah will give "a far richer recompense to those who fight for him" (Sura 4:96).
– Regarding infidels (unbelievers), they are the Muslim’s "inveterate enemies" (Sura 4:101). Muslims are to "arrest them, besiege them and lie in ambush everywhere" (Sura 9:5) for them. They are to "seize them and put them to death wherever you find them, kill them wherever you find them, seek out the enemies of Islam relentlessly" (Sura 4:90). "Fight them until Islam reigns supreme" (Sura 2:193). "Cut off their heads, and cut off the tips of their fingers" (Sura 8:12).
– If a Muslim does not go to war, Allah will kill him (Sura 9:39). He is to be told, "the heat of war is fierce, but more fierce is the heat of Hell-fire" (Sura 9:81).
– A Muslim must "fight for the cause of Allah with the devotion due to him" (Sura 22:78)
– Muslims must make war on the infidels (unbelievers) who live around them (Sura 9:123).
– Muslims are to be "ruthless to unbelievers" (Sura 48:29).
– A Muslim should "enjoy the good things" he has gained by fighting (Sura 8:69).
– A Muslim can kill any person he wishes if it be a "just cause" (Sura 6:152).
– Allah loves those who "fight for his cause" (Sura 61:3).
Anyone who fights against Allah or renounces Islam in favor of another religion shall be "put to death or crucified or have their hands and feet cut off alternative sides" (Sura 5:34).
– Whoever changes his Islamic religion, kill him. Sahih Al-Bukhari (9:57)
– Slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush. (Koran 9:5)
– Take him and fetter him and expose him to hell fire. (Koran 69:30-37)
– I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers, Smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger tips of them. (Koran 8:12)
– They should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides. (Koran 5:33)
– Know that paradise is under the shades of swords. Sahih al-Bukhari Vol 4 p55
And Speaking of Paradise...
"There will be "gushing fountains" and everyone "shall recline on jeweled couches face to face, and there shall wait on them immortal youths with bowls and ewers and a cup of purest wine." Suras (or chapters) 55 and 56 of the Quran.
"Therein are bashful virgins whom neither man nor jinnee will have touched before ... virgins as fair as corals and rubies," sura 55. A few lines later, you might remind them of "virgins chaste and fair ... they shall recline on green cushions and fine carpets."
"The smallest reward for the people of Paradise is an abode where there are 80,000 servants and 72 wives, over which stands a dome decorated with pearls, aquamarine, and ruby, as wide as the distance from Al-Jabiyyah [a Damascus suburb] to Sana’a.’"
It will be the day, God willing, you spend with the women of paradise...Know that the gardens of paradise are waiting for you in all their beauty, and the women of paradise are waiting, calling out, "Come hither, friend of God."
