The Decline and Fall of Islam

"It's the perfect religion for uneducated 3rd World nations anyways, as it embraces ignorance and deplores independent thought.

It also provides a simple and easily understood alibi for living in miserable conditions with zero chance of change - someone else did it, "they" did it to "us", "they" have stuff and we don't. That factor alone means that islam has a great chance among the "victim-American" crowd and the illegal immigrant opportunists that our own left considers their power base.

Islam provides the same morbid comfort found in living under any dictatorship. Years after the fall of Hitler, the Berlin Wall, and the USSR, there remain echos of how easy it was to live in a system that planned your entire existance for you.

While the Renaissance, Reformation and Enlightenment were not unqualified benefits to Christianity, they did serve to temper some of the irrational fanaticism that had at times characterized the medieval Christian Church. Islam needs to go through a similar experience to tame its own fanatics.

wonderful word!

Just wait until Middle East countries actually start hearing the word of Jesus. There will be mass conversions no matter what the state law is and the islamic fundamentalists in power know this.

This is why Muslim governments must use force to prevent any word other than Islam from being heard. There is no foundation for Islam. All they have is a single book written by one man. Everything else is either fantasy or distortions of much older scripture. You can deny clear historical and archaeological evidence only so long.

I hope Mel Gibson's movie (due out next March) will be widely broadcast in Muslim nations! They need to hear the GOOD NEWS and be liberated from a religion of DEATH and destruction!

They might do it. They'll advertise it as Jews killing Jesus (a prophet in Islam) and show it after suitable editing.

[Tahoe3002]

Agreed.
Strongly recommend the book "Onward Muslim Soldiers" by Robert Spencer. It will give you the truth about islamic intentions for the USA and the rest of the world.
Semper Fi...

Actually, Allah is the God of Abraham, and his message is one of peace. The problem is that Mohammed was not really a prophet, he was a war-mongering would-be despot who used religion to gain control of people so he could use them to his own ends. Looking at how he got his start, it's pretty clear that the whole "conversion by the sword" thing was just a convenient excuse for killing people to facilitate robbing them.

I tend to see Muhammed as someone who was sincere at first. He later got a taste of power and found he liked it. He then degenerated into just another warlord, though obviously a fairly good one, using religion as a tool to enhance his power.

I believe Islam is the lazy man's guide to paradise. A believer can lie, cheat, steal, murder in the name of Allah and still go to heaven. No need to work at keeping the darker side of human nature in check, just do it if it feels good - sound familiar?

[JamesA]

In my encounters with Muslim people, I find many are quite nice but the overwelming majority are totally ignorant of worldly facts, especially the women. No disrespect ment but I think Islam has held them back in the dark ages, that cannot be good.

Sounds like Protestantism (belief gets you to heaven, not good works).

INTREP - ISLAM

[A Navy Vet]

That's a little of stretch.

[Modernman]

Tongue in cheek.

[PsyOp]

Good post. More on the subject.

Mohammed, The Mad Poet Quoted....

[Eric in the Ozarks]

That's exactly why they'll never come to prominence. Half their population is not allowed to participate in their society.

[debg]

That is correct and that is why Malaysia's Mahathir Mohamad's rant about winning the minds and hearts of the non-believers is important. It's all about conquering the world...one way or the other.

[DoctorMichael]

Bump.

[lainde]

bump!

[infowarrior]

Unable to convince people of the rightness of its ideology, Islam is reduced to violence and swordpoint conversion...

Exactly where it has been since its inception, and NOT a recent phenomenon. Islam has always been thus, and shall be thus until it becomes extinct...
