I get so sick of this “Islam has been hijacked.” BS. This behavior has been the core of Islam since the day it was invented as a means to a bloody end. Islam is a political movement that has been masquerading as a religion since the day Mohammad made it up.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

So far as I can determine there is no reliable proof that Mohammed ever even existed since he wrote nothing and everything attributed to him was supposedly written long after his death by someone who never knew him. Whatever the case this “religion” is concentrated madness. The most amazing thing about it is that people convert to it as adults! Someone brought up in it could be expected to have been driven mad by it but how can someone who is exposed to it as an adult swallow all this? I can only believe that they were never taught to think in a logical fashion and there are plenty of examples of that to be seen.

Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) had much to say about the workings of the human mind and the propensity of people to do violence and to work against their own interests. I am starting to think I should reread Twin from beginning to end. The longer I live the more I tend to see him as the greatest american author of all. Those who only know him as the author of “Tom Sawyer” and “Huckleberry Finn” have missed out on a treasure trove.

“They had better learn to hide, and quickly. I don’t know how many more incidents the world will take before someone, somewhere, pulls out the minutes of the Wannsee Conference and offers them as a ‘pretty good idea’.”

No kidding!

“Ironically western politicians continue to refuse Islam is the problem but instead attempt to appease muslims at every turn.”

Then it’s time Western citizens ignored their milquetoast politicians and took care of the problem themselves. Becausde thisd sh!t isn’t going away on its own, and it’s only going to get worse unless it is stopped in its tracks now.

That’s a fact.

“And, pray, why is India increasingly being singled out for this savagery? What do they think this country is? A Hindu country or an anti-Muslim nation?”

I don’t know the answer, but it is interesting that Indians do not have the right to keep and bear arms. If some among their citizenry had been armed, perhaps some of this bloodshed would have been reduced. And perhaps these terrorists might think twice about their choice of country to terrorize.

"how can they renounce the very essence of their Death Cult?"

Easy, just do it. Do it now. Git 'er done. Or it's over.

Mark Twain is by far my favorite author. I have read everything of his I could ever get my hands on. His satires are without equal. And his scathing attacks on all things absurd are priceless.

His “Letters From the Earth” is perhaps the best indictment of Man’s idiocy I have ever read. His travel books — “Innocents Abroad”; “A Tramp Abroad”: and “Roughing It” for example — are absolute treasures.

I don’t think I buy that. It was Martin Luther and the founding of protestantism that created the political divorce and grip that the catholic church had.

That was done by Christians not some ethereal “political legitimacy” that came out nowhere.

That’s like saying during WWII france and england beat the Germans, without the mention of the allied forces.

Now there is a tag line I can identify and agree with.

Well, this guy could get a clue. Instead of being ashamed and afraid to speak out, he should be condemning the a**hats who do this. He says Muslim leaders are starting to speak out. I would sure like to know which ones because I haven't seen or heard any of them speaking out against the fanatics, if they are fanatics. The fact that their book calls for killing people and/or making slaves of them if they won't convert doesn't help matters.

Dose this guy speak out against sharia law? Does he condemn any muslims that kill their women for "honor"? Does he condemn them if they treat women like slaves? If he does none of those things nor speaks out against the evil and barbarism that is Islam then he is as guilty as those he portrays as "fanatics". The whole cult is based on cruelty and inhuman treatment of others not of their faith and of women regardless of faith.

Change Islam, rewrite the Koran and then they may start to make inroads into the real world. Until then people will simply become more and more fed up and eventually declare total war on Muslims.

In one respect, I agree with regards to the Vatican and the Pope being ruler.

On the other hand, in Britain, the Catholic vs Protestant struggle was a bloody one (Bloody Mary) and at some point the people were fed up. If they had a Catholic ruler, they watched their neighbors die. If they had a Protestant Ruler, they feared themselves dying.

Queen Elizabeth was self serving to the extent that she feared losing her throne that was a shaky one to begin with. So in political interest, she swore off the persecution of Catholics (although she did not allow the Royal Palace to practice Catholocism, she did not set about killing all Catholics either, only ones who were determined to take her throne to place a Catholic ruler in her place. That was a treasonous act, not a religious one in her opinion).

So to a certain extent, yes, political self interest ended it. But it was fear of losing power that began that shift. If there was no fear of angering the populice, there would be no political gain by stopping the murder in Christ’s name. It was the beginning of the end in political murder in the name of Christianity.

“Is this what Islam and the noble Prophet teach and stand for?”

In a word: Yes.

I'd say this guy's article is a start. It's the first criticism I've seen from a Muslim regarding the attack on Mumbai.

But, I'd like to know from the author or anyone else how we can be sure of his sincerity given the Islamic concept of Taqiah.

It won’t be long now for the author to be killed off by his own people... if he’s sincere.

The terrorists may be a minority but the muslims who support them, according to most polls I’ve seen, are a majority. The religion of Islam was founded on destruction, misery and death to all who are not muslim.

Today’s muslims, when polled, agree that terrorism is a valid tactic to right perceived wrongs.

Considering the above, I view articles like this with a great deal of suspicion and distrust, the same suspicion and distrust I have for muslims in general.

Say what you wish but deeds reflect a more accurate picture of what is real and true.
