Normally, people expect a “religion” to be about goodness in some manner. This is, at least outwardly, the case with most world faiths.
Islam, however, manages to be bad more effectively than even Satanism does. Satanism is mostly about self indulgence while usually not being overtly bothersome.
Could there be “badder” faiths? Maybe there are, in darkest Africa or some locale like that, but we typically do not hear about them because the number of followers is so little. Islam has managed to achieve a maximum of badness multiplied by number of adherents.
Exactly. You put me in mind of a new tv series called LUCIFER. The main character is not evil and he fears his Father but, as you said, suffers from selfishness. His journey is about becoming more aware of others. In any case, there was an episode where he confronted a group of Satanists and relentlessly mocked them. So, yes, absolutely agree about Islam - it is the darkest of theocratic viruses and the moderates (a few of them, friends of mine) are irrelevant. This virus will come to a head.
