you are wrong if you think that in islam is evil for killing unbelievers. muslims have every right to kill so called “innocent” americans and others. If you dont believe in Islam you do not have a right to live. so believe with us or we will kill you whenever and however we can.
islam is the future

you stupid christians and jews and others we will kill you because you refuse to turn your kaafir states into islamic ones holding onto the truth of Allah!!

I will dance on your blood and give your heads to my friends and we will use them as footballs.

Islam is the future of Britain and the world

Hi, I was born in a Pakistani family in the UK. I was a major fundamentalist Muslim. I had absolute faith in Islam and I loved it very much. However after reading the Koran a few times I started to wonder about some of the verses. There were things in the Koran that were making me nervous, also the many stories about Mohammed were also cause for concern. The conquest and subjugation of the Jews was rather disturbing, so to was the rape of many women. I didn’t want to believe this and i started to say to myself that these stories are lies. However the thought of my faith was eating my mind, slowly, slowly i was being torn apart by this dilemma. I finally wrote down some of the problems I had with the Koran and the story of Mohammed. I went to mosque and asked the mulavi sahib about these issues i had with Islam. He tried his best to explain but its like I knew that he wasn’t going to be able to justify some of the atrocities committed by Mohammed. However the part where he got stuck was the Aisha question. How can a man of more than 50 years old have sexual feelings for a girl of only 6! After he gave me a dissatisfactory answer I just went quiet and walked away. I was out the door and I looked back, He looked at me and he put his head down… I think he knew I wasn’t going to come back. Since then I have been rather heart broken as I have lost my faith. Islam is a falsehood, a pure hoax. I felt that I might as well believe in Santa clause or the boogie man! I wish I could believe again, but as a normal and respectable human being I cant believe in a man who is a pedophile! Simple as that. I can’t comprehend the fact that a man of that age can fantasize about a 6 year old, and then have sex with her while she was still playing with her dolls! And why is it that a woman is lower than a man? is my mother lower than me? why is it that a Muslim can have 4 wives? can a woman not have 4 husbands then? and why did Mohammed have more than 4 wives? doesn’t he believe in practice what you preach! Also how can I believe a man with such low moral character? how can I believe in a man who does things which I myself find abhorrent and disgusting, a man like him today instead of being in a mosque would actually be in prison with a 7 year jail sentence for rape, and child molestation/sexual abuse. For the cultural reasons given for this act (by the so called scholars) of Mohammed’s marriage with a 6 year old are irrelevant! No SANE man in any time or place would have sexual fallings for a baby! This is reason enough for denouncing Islam. For this man is not from God. And Islam is just the ramblings of some delusional Arab mad man. All this religion has done is cause pain and misery for the world. Especially India where the mass murder of Hindus was unforgivable. No country suffered more than Hindu India. As for other religions at least the so called enemies of Islam such as Sikhism, Hinduism and Buddhism etc., don’t have their religious leaders doing such disgusting things or being complete hypocrites! I’m still a right wing, conservative but I’m not a sucker and I’m not gonna let this nut case ideology ruin my life anymore. Even Jesus wasn’t anything like this fiend Mohammed! I’m just glad I got out while I could, and I just hope that all the other Muslims finally get their facts right and come to their senses. They should DUMP this evil satanic cult immediately, and do with the Koran as is done with all other piles of useless TRASH! - commit it to the FLAMES! Any way, thank you for your time,

Ahmed K.

P.S. Apology to all those Sikhs and others i fought with and got many a bloody nose for the defense of this pathetic cult, forgive me, thank you.

Sorry for bad English but I needed to write to you. I am not very good at it. I am a Muslim. I read your articles and changed my mind about Islam. I was among those who tried to advocate Islam. I thought Osama bin Laden was not a Muslim and I was. Now I see I was not a Muslim and Osama Bin Laden was.

Fortunately I am living in Sweden and I can become an apostate. It is a free country. I was born in Saudi Arabia and if I left Islam in that country I would be killed.

I must change my whole life because I left Islam. It will be hard but I will try to do it because I don’t want to be a Muslim. I no longer visit mosque. I no longer pray. I stopped doing these things. I shaved my face.

I don’t promise to become a Western man in a day but I already began changing.

My family is living in Saudi Arabia . I will not tell them about my decision because they are very intolerant.

I hope all Muslims will leave Islam. And it will happen. Islam is inhumane. You can’t be a human and a Muslim at the same time. Most Muslims will choose to be humans. It is for sure.

I was a Muslim but I didn’t want to kill non-Muslims. I didn’t think about such verses in the Quran. I thought it was to be practiced only in the 7th century.

I am a father. I have a one-year-old daughter. Her mother died when she was having her. My daughter will not be a Muslim woman. She will be a western woman. She will receive education and have a career. I will do everything I can to do it.

It is really funny that I read the Quran million times but I didn’t see things that you wrote in your articles. You made me stop being blind.

Thanks for your site. You made me a better human being. No, you made me a human being. Before it I was a Muslim.

My sister who is also in Sweden left Islam long time ago but I didn’t know. When I told her I had left Islam she was very happy. We are now friends. My family (and me before I left Islam) didn’t like her because she did everything to leave Saudi Arabia and go to free countries. She hated Islam from her childhood. It is in her nature. She always wanted to peruse a career. She is doing it now. She says Islam is unbearable for women (especially in Saudi Arabia ).

I read all articles on your site. It took me some months. I made my own investigation. I talked to my Imam. He didn’t answer my questions.

P.S. I hope things will improve in your mother country. Iranians are the most intelligent and educated among other Muslims.

Thank you very much! I know my English is awful but I live in Sweden and Swedish was more important to me!

A misguided soul who thinks he knows more than the “prophet” (peace be upon him, because he REALLY needs it, and so does the modern world, whose awful state is the result of his egocentric and perverted “revelations” from “Allah,” who would probably strangle his most “holy” prophet if he had a chance) put the following comment in my “Mohammed vs Michael Jackson” posting (see my responses in the square brackets):

Rush Says:
September 13th, 2006 at 10:08 pm e
unfortunatly u dont seem from ur articles to be a person that read anything about islam..why dont u TRY and read prophit mohammeds history a LIL bit before u attack a holly prophit as if u have personal issues with him?

[That's rich! *I* didn't read about Islam?? If you DO NOT have personal issues with "the prophet," then it is YOU who didn't read about Islam, my friend!]

u comparinga holly prophit to MJ?? WHATS NEXT…TUPAC SHAKUR VS JESUS CHRIST COMPARISONS??

[No, Jesus actually practiced what He preached, whereas MOHAMMED PREACHED WHAT HE PRACTICED. Yes, he changed "allah's" decrees to suit what was happening to him (mohammed) at the moment. If, in fact, 'allah' DID make those decrees, then 1- Islam is actually and truly about Mohammed more than 'allah,' and 2- THIS ALLAH MUST BE A DOLT to base a faith around a perverse man that I wouldn't even let to be the doorman in my house, much less the high priest of an entire, world-dessicating religion.]

for real man..i wont even go low to ur level…

[You couldn't hope to reach my level, hon..]

cuz fortunatly for u…unlike most muslims now..i studied my religion RIGHT…and we respect all prophits and religions wether u like it or not…and those idiots who claim to be muslims that act different and show hate and violence towards Christians even if only verbally WILL be punished in life and after death…because in reality, muslims have to protect all christian civilians living within an islamic nation and must treat them equal to muslims and they must be given the freedom to practise their religion in peace..

[By your words, you seem to be a caring and friendly and devout individual.. why would you dedicate your life and your soul to a false religion that will only end up with you in hell? Please, brother, I BEG you to read the Koran once, all in one sitting. If you don't want to waste the time, I don't blame you, but scroll down to read the verses that prove you wrong in your claim that Islam=peace.]

so those muslims u keep referring to are not true muslims..

[All the sheikhs aren't true Muslims? Fascinating. Why don't you email someone from Al Azhar and tell him that, I'm sure he'll love it.]

just like hateful christians like you who attack other peoples religion are NOT real christians either…i dont think christianity pushes u to disrespect other peoples free will and religious believes…

[Ya Rush ya Habib el Koll, I am not hateful. I am speaking in a sad and resigned manner. My heart is breaking that you believe in a false religion.]

i know and respect UR religion more than you….so stop wasting all our time with this stupid ignorant BS…and people who are wasting time arguing with this air head who has no time t even back up his stupid stories with any evidence…let him go…

[1- here is evidence below (scroll down) and 2- YOU just wasted your time too in replying to me, so why don't you practice what you preach? Or are you like your prophet in that, too..?]

he will lose his motive with lack of attention
BE GONE
salam

[I mean this 100%, but salaam to you too. Please scroll down, though..]

((((((((()))))))))

Just in case the switching above was confusing, here is an alternate reply from me:

Thanks, Rush, here’s hoping you won’t “rush” to judgment and that you will read what I have to say. First of all, I happen to know the Hadith and the “holy” Koran better than most Moslems could claim to.

If YOU knew it as well as I did, then you could not claim that Islam is a religion of peace unless you were either Mentally Retarded, or if you skipped the following verses (read ‘em and weep.. Actually, we’re the ones who weep when we see that you really and truly believe this TRIPE called Islam!)

FROM your own scriptures (NOT the Hadith, which some don’t accept as the word of Allah):

Verses from the Koran:

VIII/12: When thy Lord inspired the angels (saying:) I am with you. So make those who believe stand firm. I will throw fear into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Then smite the necks and smite of them each finger.

XCVIII/6: Lo! those who disbelieve, among the people of the Scripture and idolaters, will abide in fire of hell. They are the worst of created beings.

IX/5: Then when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor- due, then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

IX/73: Oh Prophet! Strive against the disbelievers and the hypocrites! Be harsh with them. Their ultimate abode is hell, a hapless journey’s end.

LXIX/30-37: (It will be said)Take him and fetter him and expose him to hell fire. And then insert him in a chain whereof the length is seventy cubits. Lo! he used not to believe in Allah the tremendous, and urged not on the feeding of the wretched. Therefore hath he no lover hear this day nor any food save filth which none but sinners eat.

XLIV/43-50: LO! the tree of Zaqqum (The tree that grows in the heart of hell bearing fruits like devil’s heads) - the food of the sinner. Like molten brass, it seetheth in their bellies as the seething of boiling water. (And it will be said): Take him and drag him to the midst of hell, then pour upon his head the torment of boiling water. Saying: TASTE! LO! thou wast forsooth the mighty, the noble! Lo! this is that whereof ye used to doubt.

IX/123: O ye who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are near to you and let them find harshness in you and know that Allah is with those who keep their duty (unto Him).

IV/144: O Ye who believe! choose not disbelievers for your friends in place of believers. Would you give Allah a clear warrant against you ?

IX/29: Fight those who do not profess the true faith (Islam) till they pay the jiziya (poll tax) with the hand of humility.

VIII/65: “O Prophet! Exhort the believers to fight. If there be of you twenty steadfast they shall overcome two hundred, and if there be of you a hundred stedfast they shall overcome a thousand of those who disbelieve, because they (the disbelievers) are a folk without intelligence.”

And in terms of Islam’s Treatment of Women:

II/223: Your women are a tilth for you (to cultivate). So go to your tilth as ye will…

IV/34: Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath made the one of them to excel the other.. As for those from whom ye fear rebellion, admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and scourge them.

IV/15: (For women) If any one of your women is guilty of lewdness …confine them until death claims them.

IV/16: (For Men) If two men among you commit indecency (sodomy) punish them both. If they repent and mend their ways, let them be. Allah is forgiving and merciful.

[To men only, apparently..]

XXIV/6-7: As for those who accuse their wives but have no witnesses except themselves , let the testimony of one of them be four testimonies…

[Wow, even-handed there!]

Sorry, I wanted to pull out every filthy ‘verse’ in the Koran, but 1- I don’t have all year, and 2- I just had an excellent dinner, which is making my stomach immensely pleased, and I would rather not lose it..

If you can read Arabic, read this wonderful list that lists all of the Copts, and some Moslems even who either help Copts or are anti-Islamic, or even free-thinking.

Just in case you cannot read the Arabic, the list is the hit-list of all the people this man wants to kill, merely for speaking their minds, and not having the same retarded, Middle Ages and sun-fried brain that he and his “prophet” (Who is, even now, in hell laughing at the mischeif he caused!!) espouse.

Here is the Link.

I should be very offended, shouldn’t I? that they have neglected to put me on this last. Alas, my words have not hit home hard enough.

Or maybe they just haven’t stumbled on to my blog yet? Let us hope they soon do.

I would like to say before going for dinner (Gotta love Carino’s!!) that if you are a Moslem and you DO AGREE with him, then you have the right idea, in regards to your religion.

BUT if you do not call for these murders, then you are a poor excuse for a Moslem and should consider officially converting out of it. I am very glad you are a poor excuse for a Moslem, by the way! this is not “US vs THEM,” I am trying to save your eternal soul, even if you hate me for it!

I love you that much!

Please pray about this.

You may have read about “The Booklet” that caused a stir, recently. If not, check my blog or keep reading for a few excerpts:

Concerned about “a clear attempt to engrave Islam in the minds of our
children,” a Christian group is expanding distribution of a guidebook
originally intended for Californians.

Coptic Christians of California has upon request distributed 5,000 copies
of its 28-page booklet, “The Islamization of American Schools” since its
first press run in December 2004.

The booklet focuses on California, where a seventh-grade world history
curriculum examines Islamic civilization, among others of the Middle Ages.

People in other states increasingly are ordering the booklet as well, says
author Abdullah Al-Araby. The booklet, which Muslims denounce as
misleading, is available on the group’s Web site.

The Coptic Christian group alleges that children learn by emulating Islamic
practices, such as kneeling to pray, donning traditional Islamic dress,
receiving a Muslim name or chanting in Arabic. Such school practices amount
to “indoctrination,” says Al-Araby, who says he writes under that pen name
because he fears reprisal from angry Muslims.

”It seems a good idea to teach culture, but they have crossed a line” into
promoting a religion, Al-Araby says. “It’s a one-sided version of Islam as
a religion of peace. . . . We have to make sure they give true history of
Islam, not a polished or refined version.”

There, now you’re all caught up. I want to share my view about this thing: While I do disagree with the intense and too-detailed teachings of this cult of Islam, I would like to say that I would not pull my child out of a school that taught Islam (even if they would shy away from teaching Christianity with the same intensity, but hey, that’s America for ya!).

Why I would not be scared to let my children learn about Islam, whether in the school or whether by my hand?

Because, the simple truth of the matter is that if they’re related to me, their brains and hearts (but mostly their brains) will kick in and condemn murdering a non-convert for the BLOODY AND COWARDLY ACT THAT IT IS.

(This is, of course, in reference to the recent Abdul Rahman trial of Afghanistan.)

Just in case I have forgotten to say this opinion of mine, I want to state that The true Moslems must kill because they’re afraid of being taken over in the way they want to take over!

If the presence of this childish strategy does not pursuade you that this is a cult and nothing more, then there’s nothing more I can say to you!

This is an excellent site, I am honored to be part of it.

The world was stunned as the courageous lady, Dr Wafaa Sultan, Los Angeles-based psychiatrist, attacked her own religion, Islam.

The world probably never heard about Kareem Amer, otherwise known as “Abdelkareem Nabil Soliman,” although his attacks against his own religion were far more explosive than Dr. Sultan’s.

For those who do not know, Abdelkareem is a 22-year old Egyptian Moslem who, until last week, attended Al Azhar University (an Islamic school) in pursuit of his law degree.

Unfortunately, the powers-that-be did not accept the fact that Abdelkareem had, in October of last year, written an article entitled “The Naked Truth About Islam That I Saw In Maharram Beh.”

This article (translated for the reader in an earlier article) condemned the actions of the perpetrators of the horrible Maharram Beh Riots, but also the motivating force behind these riots, which Soliman cited as being the religion he was born into, Islam.

For this reason, Soliman was kicked out of the Islamic university, after having been arrested just after the October pub-date of his article.

There are several differences and several similarities between the cases.

On the one hand, Dr Sultan is a woman, while Abdelkareem is a man. She is established in her practice and her family life, whereas Abdelkareem is just starting out in the world. She is in America, the place where free speech is allowed, and he is in Egypt, where freedom is a pipe dream.

On the other hand, both are Moslems who are disillusioned with the religion they were born into. They both suffered from going through the traumas of having seen violence perpetrated by rabid Moslem fundamentalists—arguably the truest and best Moslems; she suffered when gunmen broke into her class and killed her professor before her very eyes, and he suffered when his neighborhood erupted into violence over the “release” of an anti-Islamic play onto DVD, resulting in 3 confirmed deaths and rumors of 5 others.

In terms of their presentations, there are also disparities: Abdelkareem was addressing the reader, and had no idea whether he would be hitting 1 or 1 billion people with his message; Dr Sultan spoke on Al Jazeera, both times to Moslem clerics, and staring into the camera at all times.

Abdelkareem used the most inflammatory language possible, without breaking into curse words, whereas Dr. Wafaa wasn’t so up front about trying to gain the ire of her viewers.
For example, in both of her Jazeera debates, she was attired in relatively soft shades of blue. I do not think this was a function of the color being her favorite; rather, I think she chose these shades (consciously or subconsciously) to calm the viewer down.

For those unfamiliar with the theory of colors, blue is supposed to bring blood pressure down, while red is used to stimulate, and busy black-and-white patterns are excellent in getting an infant’s mind working.

Some of my readers seem to think that I am too fond of both of these heroes.

I disagree. And, to set the record straight, I am not happy with them because they trashed their own religion, but because they were fearless in presenting their version of the truth.

Both seem to have renounced Islam. But is this enough? No, it is not. Leaving a bad faith is nothing if you don’t fill in the space with something good, something that will keep the bad things away. Just like you will overeat if you quit smoking cold-turkey and didn’t start another good habit, like exercise, to replace it.

Of course, you must know that I DO agree with the things they have said about Islam, (not Moslems), but again, the battles in these cases are hardly won.

So what has happened to these paragons? I have neither read nor heard about Abdelkareem since the day his expulsion was announced. And I have not heard what Dr. Wafaa is up to, although I would like to wish either of them who might be reading this God’s peace, safety, and blessings.

Finally, praise be to Jesus that Abdul Rahman was finally set free! May God keep him safe during his re-entry into western society, and his adjustment to a new life.

May God protect all of His warriors and make every one of their efforts shine and bring the most blessed Godly glory to His present and future kingdom!

I am so happy. Overjoyed, even. If you would like to know why, then take a look at the following article, or at least the title of the article:

“Official Saudi Fatwa of July 2000 Forbids Construction of Churches in Muslim Countries; Kuwaiti MP Concurs.” (Full Article.)

Now look at the title of a recent CNN story:

“Top Muslim clerics: Convert must die. Religious leaders urge courts to ignore West, hang Christian.”

Please do not mistake my meaning. I am not happy that Christians in Saudi and Kuwait and Afghanistan are being threatened with hangings and the extinction of church-building. I am actually heartbroken over this.

What makes me so happy, however, is that we have here declarations—straight from the horse’s mouth!—that make the cases against religious tolerance in Islam.

They have done the work for me, and even though a detractor may tell me that I, a Christian, am not as well-read as they, Moslems… no one can accuse an Imam of not having read his own scriptures!

I really am happy even to read interviews as the following one, because, while I am hurt that they hate me, at least their true feelings are on the table, and we can work from there. Whitewashing the feelings and declaring that Islam is a subjective religion of tolerance and love is very dangerous, and also cowardly.

From MEMRI (”Notes from Salib in the [ ] marks)…

“A Saudi Professor of Islamic Law at Al Imam University, Sheikh Abd Al-Aziz Fawzan Al-Fawzan, has recently made “anti-Christian comments” on Saudi Al-Majd TV. He “told his audience to hate anyone “who worships Christ, son of Mary” and added that “whoever says ‘I don’t hate him [i.e. a Christian]‘ is not a Muslim… Someone who denies Allah, worships Christ, son of Mary, and claims that God is one third of a trinity - do you like these things he says and does? Don’t you hate the faith of such a polytheist who says God is one third of a trinity, or who worships Christ, son of Mary?

[Christ IS God!]

More Al-Fawzan:

“Someone who permits and commits fornication - as is the case in Western countries, where fornication is permitted and not considered a problem - don’t you hate this? Whoever says ‘I don’t hate him’ is not a Muslim, my brother…”

[I hate fornication, too!]

“If this person is an infidel - even if this person is my mother or father, God forbid, or my son or daughter - I must hate him, his heresy, and his defiance of Allah and His prophet. I must hate his abominable deeds. Moreover, this hatred must be positive hatred. It should make me feel compassion for him, and should make me guide and reform him.”

It could be argued that “positive hatred” is the same as compassion, and that “positive hatred” is not the precursor to killing or torturing, although this is what Moslems generally mean when they talk of “reforms,” which we found out after the Abdel Rahman problem emerged.

For example, the aforementioned CNN story quoted “moderate” Afghani cleric Abdul Raoulf, member of the Afghan Ulaama Council, and thrice-jailed for his opposition of the Taliban (before 2001’s obliteration of that hard-line regime) as saying that “Rejecting Islam is insulting God. We will not allow God to be humiliated. This man [Abdel Rahman] must die.”

So this is about the Arab tendency of “family honor” and “honor killings” and “revenge” and “vindication.”

Some people thought that the Christian convert was mad, and hinted that if he was found insane, he would not be killed.

CNN goes on to quote Hamidullah, chief cleric at Hajji Yacob Mosque, as having said that “He is not crazy. He went in front of the media and confessed to being a Christian. The government is scared of the international community. But the people will kill him if he is freed.”

Aren’t the people the crazy ones, then?

The peace-loving Hamidullah went on to say that they should “Cut off his head!”
His loving feelings were made clearer when he shared that “We will call on the people to pull him into pieces so there’s nothing left.”

I would like the reader to know that I am in possession of a video that showed an ex-Moslem being struck by an axe before being pulled apart, by hands and by meat hooks. It took him a long time to die.

The gruesomeness of bones cracking and skin and muscle separating wasn’t the worst part for me; after all, I have witnessed countless surgeries, and have performed my own.

But this was different. His face was the most terrifying thing. Despite my age, I still have nightmares about it to this day, and I know they will not stop until the day I am in heaven and see this tortured brother’s beautifully reconstructed resurrection body.

In the interest of staying on task, Hamidullah was of the opinion that exile was the only option for Abdel Rahman.

I agree! He lived overseas for several years, would it be so horrible to move back? Hundreds and thousands of Christians and Westerners are on his side! (Like Abdelkareem, the Egyptian blogger who was expelled from al Azhar University for his anti-Islamic article.)

The top cleric of Kabul’s largest Shia centre (Hossainia Mosque), Said Mirhossain Nasri, said that “Rahman must not be allowed to leave the country… If he is allowed to live in the West, then others will claim to be Christian so they can, too… We must set an example… He must be hanged.”

So it would seem that the murder of the convert to Christianity is more about keeping a strong image and weeding out would-be fake converts than an Islam-based intolerance for conversions?

(Are Afghanis forced to stay in the country? Are they not allowed to leave and re-settle if they can afford it?)

The CNN article goes on to claim that “Afghanistan’s constitution is based on Sharia law, which is interpreted by many Muslims to require that any Muslim who rejects Islam be sentenced to death.”

Which school of Sharia law, though? There are multiple schools (Shafii, Mawdoodi, Aboo Hambel, etc.), and even more interpretations.

The advent of the internet, satellite dishes, and other technologies that effectively reduce the size of the world—or the distance between people—is a veritable “Grow-a-Sheikh!” kit.

Anyone can issue fatwas these days, based on their specific needs. This reminds me very much of the “founder” of Islam…

Nasri goes on to say that “We are a small country and we welcome the help the outside world is giving us. But please don’t interfere in this issue… We are Muslims and these are our beliefs. This is much more important to us than all the aid the world has given us.”

Hello?? Geneva Conventions, Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Amnesty International, United Nations??

I know I will sound like the father of a 17 year old girl from Aswan, but all I can say to Nasri’s plea is “If you don’t like our rules, then don’t accept our aid! Give BACK the aid that you accepted. I am not giving you an allowance so that you can take an apartment and bring boys over! We are not giving you aid so that you can turn around and kill the very people our money is supposed to be helping!”

Our friend from before, Hamidullah, seems to think that “the government would lose the support of the people if it frees Rahman, and there could be an uprising” if they free him.

So the question is, which support is more important to the Afghani government? More importantly, whose interpretation of Islam’s “religious tolerance” is the most accurate?

If you’ll remember, I brought a Saudi fatwa up at the beginning of this article, dating back to 3 July, 2000. Keep reading, for a look at the truth of Islam, un-sugarcoated, and straight from the horse’s mouth (and the birthplace of “Islam”):

“Those who claim that there is truth in what the Jews say, or in what the Christians say – whether he is one of them or not – is denying the Koran and the Prophet Muhammad’s sunna and the consensus of the Muslim nation… Allah said: ‘The only reason I sent you was to bring good tidings and warnings to all [Koran 34:28]‘; ‘Oh people, I am Allah’s Messenger to you all [Koran 7:158]‘; ‘Allah’s religion is Islam [3:19]‘; ‘Whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it shall not be accepted from him [3:85]‘; ‘The unbelievers from among the people of the Book [i.e. Jews and Christians] and the polytheists are in hellfire and will be [there] forever. They are the worst of all creation… [98:6]‘.

“Therefore, religion necessitates the prohibition of unbelief, and this requires the prohibition of worshiping Allah in any way other than that of the Islamic shari’a. Included in this is the prohibition against building houses of worship according to the abrogated religious laws, Jewish or Christian or anything else, since these houses of worship – whether they be churches or other houses of worship – are considered heretical houses of worship, because the worship that is practiced in them is in violation of the Islamic shari’a, which abrogates all religious law that came before it. Allah says about the unbelievers and their deeds: ‘I will turn to every deed they have done and I will make them into dust in the wind [Koran 25:23].’

“The Arabian Peninsula is Islam’s sanctuary and its basis. It is forbidden to allow or permit unbelievers to penetrate it or to receive citizenship there or to buy property, not to speak of building churches for the worshipers of the cross.”

Hey, guess what? We don’t worship the cross, only the One who died on it!

“There is no place in the Arabian Peninsula for two religions, but only for one – the religion of Islam, sent by Allah through Muhammad, His Prophet and Messenger. There will not be two directions of worship there, but just one single direction – the direction of the Muslims, towards the Ka’ba in Mecca. Praise Allah who enabled the rulers of these lands to ward off these heretical houses of worship from the pure Islamic land.”

If this “allah” is the one who allowed a pure Islamic land, then I have a big problem with him.

“

Sheikh Al-Islam Ibn Tamiyya [Tameyya?? As in FALAFEL???] said: ‘Whosoever thinks that churches are Allah’s houses and serve as places for His worship, or whosoever thinks that the deeds of the Jews and the Christians are worship of Allah and obedience to His Prophet, and whosoever likes this and permits it or helps them [the unbelievers] to open [houses of worship] and to perform their religion and thinks this to be proximity or obedience [to Allah] – he is an unbeliever.’ “

“He also said: ‘Whosoever thinks that visiting dhimmis [monotheist non-Muslims under Muslim rule] in their churches is proximity to Allah, he is an apostate. If he didn’t know that this was forbidden, he should be so informed, and then if he persists, he is an apostate.’ “

“We find refuge in Allah in order not to backtrack from the right path… Those who turned back on their tracks after the right path was clear to them – Satan seduced them and filled their hearts with false hopes [Koran 47:25]‘”

Then Satan and Mohammed have a lot in common.

(Non-intoxicating wine? Pearl-like boys? 72 Houris? Come off it, Mo! Just admit you were an unnaturally-oversexed man, and that you feared being overthrown, that you stole Jewish and Christian scriptures and couldn’t even get them right, and played on the pathetic desert desires of the only friends you had!)

Walid Al-Tabatabai, a member of the Kuwaiti parliament’s human rights committee, got in on the act, stating that “the establishment of houses of worship for non-Muslims in Kuwait is against Islamic law. This does not mean that it is forbidden for non-Muslims to perform their religious obligations. On the contrary, they should be allowed to do so, but this needs to be in accordance with the law and with the norms.”

“He added that in Kuwait today there are 20 churches, “that is, a church for every five Kuwaiti Christians, as there aren’t more than 100 of them,” whereas visiting Christians are “temporary workers who will be going back to their countries.” He emphasized that “freedom of worship and the performance of religious obligations is permitted to everyone in the world, but the issue of establishing houses of worship for other religions depends on shari’a law.””

My Islamic friends, please consider carefully whether most imams in the world could be wrong about their own religions. They know the scriptures better than you… will you really go head-to-head with them about the validity of their interpretations?

They know what they are talking about, so if they think that a non-Moslem should be ousted or killed, then how can you challenge that? You are the errant ones (for promoting peace), not they.

Forget about the Crusades… not a Christian alive today agrees with their violence, but please remember that they were initiated to fight the waves of Christian-attacking barbarians, that some Crusaders were going into it only for their own wealth and glory (the wrong reason), AND THAT no Christian alive today—or 200 years ago even!—agrees with that campaign.

We are more mature now, and realize that God is big enough to fight His own battles, without having to resort to making humans kill (unprovoked) “in His name,” and that all we must do is follow Christ’s teachings (very effective witnessing tool!), accept His free gift of forgiveness and grace, and also have a loving relationship with Him.

We have been well-taught, by… others, who have—time and time again!—shown us how wrong it was to go around and hurt other people, simply because they refused to convert to “the one, true faith.”

My take: Rachel Frank felt like an outcast from her own (Dutch) society, and has fallen into the “religion,” albeit through marriage, from a desire to join a more accepting society. I’ll give them that… they sure know how to seduce people into their snares, just like any good cult!

Dutch woman’s embrace of Islam draws stares
By MOLLY MOORE | Tuesday, March 21, 2006

BREDA, Netherlands — Rabi’a Frank sees her Dutch home town through the narrow slit of the black veil that covers her face.

The looks she receives from the townspeople are seldom kindly.

On a recent winter afternoon, the wind tugged at her ankle-length taupe skirt, olive head scarf and black, rectangular face veil as she walked to her car from an Islamic prayer meeting in downtown Breda. Two blond teen-agers on bicycles stared, their faces screwed into hostile snarls. Other passersby gawked. Some stepped off the sidewalk to avoid coming too near.
She tried to act like it didn’t offend her. But it did. She knows what they think of Muslim women like her.

“If you cover yourself, you are oppressed — that’s it,” said Frank, a lanky, 29-year-old Dutch woman who converted to Islam 11 years ago, about the time she married her Moroccan husband. “You are being brainwashed by your husband or your friends.”

Or, you’re a potential terrorist.

“Sometimes I make a joke and say, ‘Oh, you don’t have to be scared of me.’” Other times, she gets so fed up that she yanks up her hand under her robe like it’s a pistol and shouts, “Boom!”

[NOTE FROM SALIB: You see? She learned violent tendencies from them already! Yekhsaaaaara 3aleyki ya "Rabi'a" ... ]

Frank spoke on a recent winter day in her heather-colored living room in this city of 162,000 people near the Netherlands’ southern border with Belgium. “They don’t have the right to treat me different,” she said. “It’s like staring at someone in a wheelchair. It’s not polite. I’m human, even if you don’t like the way I appear.”

Deepening rift in Europe
This day-to-day struggle for acceptance on the streets of her home town is one woman’s confrontation with a deepening rift in West European societies, where the emergence of a 15 million-member Muslim minority is reshaping concepts of nation and personal identity.

Some European governments have passed laws they say are intended to help preserve national identity. Critics argue that the measures reflect Islamophobia and fears of terrorism triggered by the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and the subsequent transit bombings in Madrid and London.
The Netherlands, with nearly 1 million Muslims, almost 6 percent of its population, is particularly on edge.
The 2002 assassination of an anti-immigrant politician, Pim Fortuyn, by an animal rights activist was followed by the execution-style murder in 2004 of the filmmaker Theo van Gogh, who had just released a controversial film seen as anti-Islamic. A young Muslim radical admitted to the killing.

Anti-immigration laws
A country with a history of tolerance is now adopting or debating some of the most restrictive anti-immigration and anti-Muslim laws in Europe. One proposed measure would ban women from wearing face veils, called niqab, in public. Another would outlaw the speaking of languages other than Dutch on the street.

Immigrants must learn some Dutch, pass a history and geography test and, to get a feel for whether they can live in this society, watch a film on Dutch culture that includes two gay men kissing and a topless woman walking on a beach.

[So they're forcing immorality on immigrants? I would not watch their Dutch porn film! If they are so tolerant, why would they ban veils? Why would they force their immorality on people? I can feel a new article coming on...]

Geert Wilders, a member of the Dutch parliament, said he was drafting a bill that would ban all immigration for the next five years. “Our culture is based on Christianity, Judaism and humanism,” Wilders said.

[Christianity does not allow topless walking or gay kissing!]

Like most of her Muslim convert friends, Frank said, she found that the process of fully embracing Islamic thinking and dress was gradual. But eventually the clothing became the outward statement of her identity. “I smiled at all the Muslim women I saw in the streets,” she said. “But to them, I was just a plain Dutch girl with brown hair and blue eyes. I wanted to be recognized as a Muslim woman.”

“I am a Muslim,” she said with finality. “That’s my identity.”

[This is what happens when you have low self esteem. Sad! I wonder if she'd be so happy to remain Moslem if she divorced Dr. Love? Or if her Moslem friends shunned her? It's all about fitting in. If I were Allah, I would not accept her conversion as true!]

This blog is dedicated to the interview of the big singer Sha’ban Abdel Raheem, whose recent hit was banned in Egypt because it had tough lyrics. Here they are.

“We are completely fed up.

But there are no solutions.

Humiliation has reached even the religion and the Prophet.

Allah’s messenger, Muhammad the Imam of Prophets.

They want to distort his image - those despicable fools.

No religion can be held responsible for the man who humiliated the Prophet.

These are crazy people, and their top guy is an idiot.

Denmark? They are nothing but pagans.

Who are they to say anything about the Prophet?

Our Islam is innocent of them, and what they say is all lies.

Our Islam is a religion of love, not of injustice and terrorism.

When you all meet in Hell, the flames will burn your faces.

I will speak and won’t be silent, and others will say along with me:

We want a total boycott, and even that is not enough.”

Interviewer: Sha’ban Abd Al-Rahim, this song was banned on many channels. It was banned.

Sha’ban ‘Abd Al-Rahim: I never heard that.

Interviewer: It was. Some say this was because it curses other people, who may think we are cursing them. So those channels said: We’d better not show it.

Sha’ban ‘Abd Al-Rahim: Well, why shouldn’t we curse them just like they curse us?

(An eye for an eye, O “Servant of the Merciful One”…? “Rahim” is “merciful.”)

This part was just funny.

Interviewer: Sha’aban, we sometimes watch the news and don’t understand, and feel that we need someone to explain it to us. Who explains it to you? For example, if there is a conflict between two countries, or what happened between Syria and Lebanon… Who do you consult, and who explains it to you? We all sometimes need someone to provide explanations.

Sha’aban ‘Abd Al-Rahim: Why, is the news in English? The news is in plain language and it’s very clear - People beat up other people, and people act unjustly. Anyone can understand this.
