I would submit, that Islam is not, in the conventional sense, “merely” a religion.

It is a complete ideology and as such, should be and must be treated in intellectual discussions much the same as National Socialism as it was practiced in Germany between 1933 and 1945, or the organization of the Paris Commune following the French Revolution, in which all the old ways and legal systems were overthrown, and the entire society was reorganized. Of course, a few years later Napoleon did a SECOND reorganization of all the rules instituted by the Jacobins, and perhaps an inordinate number of people died either as a result or in defense of those changes, but a modern France evolved from that widespread and disturbingly deep current of change.

Islam is an example of an ideology conceived without a corresponding review of its tenets and foundations, and error has piled upon error, until it no longer retains any aspect of justice or honor as understood by the rest of the world. Just as Karl Marx’ theories of communism, just as Adolf Hitler’s theories of a strange intermingling of state control and crony capitalism, tied to a doctrine of “racial purity”.

Dear Reader has strange theories because he’s a Marxlim.

Which explains why many Nazis were enameled with what they called “Mohammedism” and believed Germany would have been better of with Islam.

First of all where do you think Hitler got his ideas of racial purity and state control? ‘Mein Kamph’ is basically a rip of the Second Given Half of the koran.

Secondly, Islam as it is practiced by ISIS and others is exactly as was practiced by Mohammad after he left Mecca and began his near total destruction of classical western civilization, and classical Christianity, along with denuding the grain basket of the world - North Africa.

There are no excuses which can alter the aims and intents of Islam, only fools would pretend that is possible. No one can change (or review) any part of the Koran (or the other 4 books you have to read to understand what the koran is saying). To do so is not only anathema, but contradicts the word of their god and their prophet.
