Before Islam burst upon the world, all other religions had made the world non-sensible...

I'd have to say that my faith in Christ makes a non-sensible world sensible, not the other way around. The writer has gone from Muslim to Atheist. Not so sure that is much of an improvement, though, I can't think of any atheist group that is overtly trying to kill me and everyone I know.

Atheism is just as much a religion as any other, and they can be just as intolerant of others beliefs as those of any religion. However you are correct that they aren't currently, that I am aware of, killing others for believing in God. They have in the past. Atheism was a significant part of Communism.

Instead of believing in God, Atheists believe there is no God. That is their religion. If you disagree, the less tolerant among them can be pretty nasty. All religions have intolerance towards other religions built into them, but only Islam teaches that others must be converted to Islam or enslaved or killed.

In this respect it is unique. It is why there will be no peace between Muslims and non-Muslims ever. They are required to war against non Muslims if they are to remain Muslims. In this respect the author is correct, Atheist or not.
