But that doesn't mean that there are no noble and time-honored truths or that people can't find a spiritual fulfillment that doesn't mean blowing up other people. Even though you are armNready lets not throw out the baby with the bath water.

The noble truths of Islam are for the Muslim Ummah. The Muslim community. How Muslims act towards others is another thing apart from how they treat others and make Jihad on others.

You should read up on the life of Muhammad because all Muslims are supposed to emulate it. The core of Islam is that the faithful Muslim must copy the life of Muhammad who is the most perfect man ever to trod this earth. Muhammad preached very nice ideas when his movement was weak. The latter part of his life was that of an assassin, murderer and warlord. The "nice" Muslims you meet are in denial about the part of Muhammad's life as a mass killer. They will tell you Muhammad only fought wars of self defense.

 

Islam rises and falls on Muhammad. He is the religion's sole prophet, Islam’s solitary example, Allah’s lone conduit. Without Muhammad, Allah, the Qur’an, and Islam would be unknown. Yet the picture the Islamic scriptures paint of this man is not flattering; his words aren’t believable. According to the Qur’an and Hadith, Muhammad was a thief, rapist, and terrorist. It’s hardly the example you’d want your neighbor to emulate.

 

Muhammad, Allah, Mecca, and the formation of Islam are completely unknown to secular history. All we know of them is derived from the Qur’an and Hadith. The earliest and most important collection of Hadith is called the Sira, or Biography. Compiled by Ibn Ishaq, the Sira provides the only written account of this man, his god, place and religion within two centuries of his death. There is no other valid source from which Muhammad can be seen, or Islam can be interpreted, differently.

To write Prophet of Doom, I analyzed the Sira, the Ta’rikh, or History of al-Tabari, and the topical Hadith collections of Bukhari and Muslim. Using Islam’s most holy books I was able to reorder the Qur’an chronologically and set it into the context of Muhammad’s life. The result is bone chilling. The depiction of the prophet by the most revered Muslim sources reveals behavior that is immoral, criminal, and violent. The five oldest and most trusted Islamic sources don't portray Muhammad as a great and godly man. They confirm that he was a thief, liar, assassin, mass murderer, terrorist, warmonger, and an unrestrained sexual pervert engaged in pedophilia, incest, and rape. He authorized deception, assassinations, torture, slavery, and genocide. He was a pirate, not a prophet. According to the Hadith and the Qur'an, Muhammad and his henchmen plundered their way to power and prosperity. And by putting the Qur'an in chronological order and correlating it with the context of Muhammad's life, we find that Allah mirrored his prophet's character. Muhammad's god condoned immoral and criminal behavior. Allah boasts about being a terrorist. He claims to have deceived men, to have stolen their property, to have enslaved women and children, to having committed acts of murder, genocide, and sadistic tortures. [Continue ...]

This reminds me of the duality between God of fear in the old testament and Jesus (God of love) in the new testament. Obviously, we play up the new testament over the old. The murdering of nations and all the blood letting and sacrificing was a fitting practice for the waring God of the old testament. Ironic, that if you compare the Christian & Jewish God with Mohammad, their qualities are inversed through time: Jesus ended up being good whereas Mohammad ended bad. But I'm sure that "nice" Christians don't want to get hung up on the early side of God's nature. Therefore, I think that with both Islam and Christianity it is all a question of what should be emphasized. Both religions have a dark past and if we can get beyond that... great!
