Ironically, honorable Muslims are the worst Muslims, for they give a bad religion a good name and aid in its continuation. The survival of Islam would be a terrible calamity to befall humanity. These harsh statements are hard facts that ‘the good Muslims’ ought to consider deeply. This series of articles will attempt to shed light on this reality.
Those folks who consider themselves to be good Muslims must be troubled witnessing the constant horrors being created by their co-religionists. Muslims are now commonly viewed by non-Muslims as a dangerous segment of the population who hold very strange views of the world and their fellow humans. Those non-Muslims who are well-versed in Islamic theology and the ambitions of the Islamists to institute Sharia law are right to be mistrustful of the Muslim population.
The horrific state of the Islamic world and the dysfunctional behavior of their co-religionists must make ‘the good Muslims’ consider whether there is something intrinsically wrong with Islam. The good Muslims must be asking themselves why their brethren are behaving so violently toward each other and toward non-Muslims. It should make an honest person wonder whether Islam is really what it claims to be. It is worth considering this question rigorously as so many lives are at stake.
We know from Islamic history and by looking around us at the world today, Islam is not a religion of peace. The talk of Islam being the religion of peace is just talk. Islam has long proven itself to be a religion of violence and hatred that commonly inspires its adherents to commit acts of obscene bloodshed and intolerance. In light of all this, it seems that those who proclaim themselves to be Muslims would be wise to re-examine the claims of their religion.
Islam has historically created undemocratic societal structures which are steeped in nepotism and tyranny. Where Islam is the law of the land, Sharia law is devastating the well-being and civility of its citizenry. Without doubt Muhammad has betrayed his followers leaving them an unjust religion (for example women are granted rights inferior to those of men both legally and otherwise) producing an untenable mess. It is useless for Islamic apologists to attempt to deny these statements as the facts speak for themselves.
We know that Islamic terrorism is the result of Muslims acting upon Islamic doctrine. The adherents of no other major religion attempt to settle their real or imagined grievances with such consistent acts of savage violence as do Muslims. Both the Quran and the Sunnah state that Muhammad himself was a terrorist, a mass murderer and a thief who urged his followers to conquer the world by any means necessary. He claimed that this is what his god demands be done. This Islamic supremacism is sheer barbarism and insanity. Truth be told, radical Muslims are only following in Muhammad’s footsteps and acting upon his commandments.
Though the good Muslims prefer to acknowledge only the peaceful and sane Islamic traditions, the time has come for them to abandon this infantile approach and to stop over-looking the truly dark contents of their religion and what it demands of them and its negative impact upon humanity. The time has come for Muslims to take off their blinders and to embark upon an objective, critical examination of Islam. The evidence will unmistakably lead them to conclude that Muhammad was a full blown madman who will be recorded by history as the most notorious criminal and deceitful human being to have ever lived.
The question at hand is whether decent folks who currently call themselves Muslims are willing to compromise their integrity by continuing to practice and promote Islam while knowing of its many horrors. Many educated Muslims are now beginning to realize that adherence to Islam cannot be justified and are discretely walking away from it. It has become clear to them that the founder of Islam, Muhammad ibn Abdullah, was just one more charlatan who fabricated a religion. In this case a religion based primarily on fear, hatred and violence.
Islam should rightly be abhorred by all persons of conscience. ‘The good Muslims’ must decide whether they want to live a lie and go down the dark path of Islam or make the courageous decision to abandon the religion entirely and help in the effort to expose it for what it is. It is time for the good Muslims to come to the realization that Muhammad’s Islam, taken in totality, amounts to a colossal fraud and a terribly harmful ideology.
