With commentary from former muslims — ‘Islam: What the West Needs to Know.’

The video is somewhere on the internet, take a look and ponder.

Regards

How’s that last 12 years of Moderate Muslim influence working out?

The article is superficially correct, but also flat wrong. What is missing from the analysis of Islam it presents is the fact that with the exception of the tiny Qu’ran-only movement and possibly some smaller Shi’ite sects, all Islamic fiqh (schools of jurisprudence) accept the principle of naskh: that later written verses of the Qu’ran (including the warlike ones) abrogate earlier written verses they contradict (including essentially all of the peaceful-sounding ones).

A religion based on the Qu’ran that used a hermeneutic of the sort classical Anglicans applied to the Bible — that no part of Scripture be expounded in a way repugnant to another — would be very different from Islam. Unfortunately, no such religion exists: those who regard the Qu’ran as holy writ use naskh as their hermeneutic, and when they take their faith seriously wage war against anyone who believes another creed who is not under their rule.

Too bad you weren’t advising George Bush.


Yeah, his position on this was one of the many reasons I left the R party halfway through his presidency.

Why not have MSM interview Dear Leader Obamuslim in the big White Hut and give his honest explanation for all things Muslim Brotherhood, and support of Jihadist terrorism.

We cannot even to begin to fight our enemies if we refuse to stop the dishonest wordsmiths. To win a war on thought you first have to win the war on words.

Islam is a hate cult at best. It should never be considered a religion. Once you win that war, certain legal opportunities to destroy this hate cult open up. IE: There is no 1st Amendment religious protection offered to hate cults.

A blight on the earth that needs to be eradicated.

I am posting a reply to the title, not having read the article.

Islam is a seventh century socio-political system masquerading as a religion.

Now I’ll go read it.
