The Mysterious Moderate Muslim

This is such an often repeated lie, ( moderation in any form ) that there is no point trying to educate the ignorant. They must educate themselves.

I am of course referring to non-muslims; muslims are hopelessly locked into a plethora of lies and different interpretations in subgroups that the only thing that keeps each of them from eliminating the others is the pathological hatred of what has sustained them for generations, and continue to do so to this day.

After decades of reading, researching and verifying the murderous bloody history of islam, without a clue as to what drives them all to unite with an irrational hatred of modernity, I finally found an individual I had never heard of before. I accidentally ran across his name and his book, written almost 40 years ago.

Among The Believers, by V.S. Naipaul, 1981, Alfred A. Knopf, Inc.

Anyone who cares, and can find a copy can get an education equivalent to a dozen history books, both in regard to the development of islam over 1400 years, and the confused quandary that the contemporary Islamic countries have to deal with. Even Bernard Lewis, the preeminent muslim authority alive, cannot bring himself to express what he can plainly see.

But beyond the carefully completely laid out history of the sick religion and its myriad branches, the insights gathered throughout his travels, by speaking to the locals at all levels, brings the hopelessness of the muslim mess into sharp focus.

I was planning to post a few paragraphs from the book but I have yet to leave the fascinating chapter on Iran, the First Chapter.

He visited countries which account perhaps to 90% of all muslims, excluding Saudi Arabia (a lapse I am sure will be explained later in the book.)

In addition to Iran, he visited Pakistan, Malaysia and Indonesia, and Iran again on the way back home to London.

The value of his timely book is the analysis of Iran, immediately after the replacement of the Shah with the totalitarian ayatollahs, which made the Shah look like an amateur in terms of bloody inhumanity and irrational hatred against everything and every part of the outside world.

The Iranian people never knew what hit them, and most of the educated, productive and rational Iranians are now expatriates, scattered worldwide.
(Sort of like the similar hope and changey thing the USA experienced in 2008.)

What remains in Iran today is a 7th Century population, totally dependent on the "technological West," which paradoxically, they do everything possible to destroy.

I can't recommend this book too highly.
