The problem with Islam is that it is a cult rather than a religion.
Religions even non- Christian are uplifting, claim respect for all peoples even non believers. Their existance brings peace and stability in an unsure and unstable existance. Religions have made the world a better place by shaping cultures and moral foundations of law.
Islam is a cult of death, it tears down rather than uplifts. It codifies all non believers as worthy of death, it requires the oppression of women and children, It still accepts slavery as being a moral choice. It allows for the stoning of rape victims and sometimes uses rape as a punishment for transgressions.
Rather than trying to make this life more endurable it would rather see the world burn than attempt to move into modernity. They slaughter medical missionary's because the message of forgiveness makes their young men weak.
At one point in history it may have been a bona fide religion but it has been perverted and twisted into a sick ersatz version of a religion. It is as if Jim Jones of Jonestown was the version of Christianity that survived.
Like liberalism it is codified, certifiable insanity. The price of pointing out that it is insanity is the fatwa and death.

Right on TAS & Doc..
The most cogent and succinct understanding of true izlum that I've seen yet.
Like liberalism, I don't think we can ever stamp it out but maybe we can chop enough heads off this hydra to someday render it feckless.

The price of pointing out that it is insanity is the fatwa and death. Seems like every time I turn around there's another fatwa. A fatwa here, a fatwa there, here a fatwa, there a fatwa, everywhere a fatwa, Ol' Mc...
And who the heck keeps track of all these fatwas? Or is it 'fatwi?'
