First, Islam, like all religions, rejects reason as a means of gaining knowledge and guiding action.

Just FYI, this is absolute B.S.

No it's not. Even Christianity cherishes "revealed" knowledge.

The individual is not supposed to think independently but to selflessly subordinate himself to the dictates of his religion and its theocratic representatives. We have seen this before in the West--it was called the Dark Ages.

This is absolute BS too.

You are right, the catholics have the phrase "examine your conscience", for example. The guy is anti-religion, but he's dead on about Islam.
