Islam has spawned many sects that are master practitioners of the art of double standards. As far as Muslims are concerned, what is good for Muslims is not good for the non-Muslims; and what is bad for Muslims is good for non-Muslims.
What complicates matters is that there is no way of knowing which of the dozens of at-each-other's-throat sects is the legitimate Islam. As soon as Muhammad died, his religion of peace became a house of internal war: jockeying for power and leadership started, sects formed and splintered into sub-sects, and bloodletting began in earnest.
The internal infighting in Islam is presently playing in full color -
in red - most dramatically, in the Iraqi theater. Shiite raid Sunni
civilians, slaughter them like sheep, and toss their bodies like trash
in the streets or the rivers. The Sunnis return the favor with just as
much viciousness and savagery.
Question: If this is the way these Muslims treat each other, how would they deal with the infidels if they had the chance?
Answer: These devoted followers of Muhammad would deal with the infidels exactly the way Muhammad did: behead the non-believers, take them as slaves to hold or sell, or make them pay back-breaking jizya - poll taxes.
Some may object that writings like this are little more than hate-mongering and fanning the fire that rages between Islam and the non-Islamic world. They may further play the Islamic apologists' few, well-worn propaganda cards as evidence for their contention that Islam is not what its detractors claim.
Here are the few favorite cards:
* "There is no compulsion in religion," says the Quran. (But the full context is never shown.)
* Islam means "peace," so Islam is a religion of peace.
* "For you, your religion, and for me, my religion," Muhammad reportedly said.
The Muslims and their apologists quickly run out of their few cards, and the rest of the Islamic deck is all about intolerance, hatred and violence toward the infidels, toward all others who are not true Muslims, and even toward those who consider themselves Muslims. Shiites, for instance, judge the Sunnis as traitors to Islam, and Sunnis condemn the Shiites as heretics. Each side deems the other worthy of death and hellfire.
This internecine Islamic war of the religion of peace is not confined to the Shiite-Sunni divide. There are so many internal divisions within each side that listing and describing them comprehensively would be an encyclopedic work.
So, who is right? What are the facts about Islam and how does Islam impact the ever-shrinking village Earth and its inhabitants? Admittedly, this is a huge question and cannot be answered satisfactorily in one article. However, some facts can be presented to help the reader decide.
There is no need to belabor the point that Islam is not, and has never been, a religion of peace. The word Islam is derived from taslim, which purely means "submission," while the term for "peace" is solh. Another derivation of the word taslim is “salema”, which means "good health" and so on.
Irrespective of what the term Islam may mean, the facts on the ground conclusively demonstrate Islam's violent nature from its very inception. No need to go back to the time of Muhammad and examine the historical records. Just a few contemporary events should make the point.
Here is a partial list: the savage Shiite-Sunni bloodletting in Iraq; the barbarism of the resurgent Taliban in Afghanistan; the genocide in Sudan's Darfur region; the Somali killings; the Iranian mullahs' murder of their own people and support of mischief abroad; the incessant terrorist acts of Hamas, Hizbollah and Islamic Jihad on Israel, and numerous fatwas on infidels and apostates; the bombing of Shiite mosques in Pakistan and Iraq and the Shiite retaliation against soft, innocent and civilian targets.
Clearly, there is no place on the planet where Muslims reside that is in peace from the religion of peace. America, Spain, France, Netherlands, England, Thailand, India and Indonesia have already been attacked, while others, such as Denmark, have been threatened and sanctioned.
Stretching the benefit of the doubt beyond limits, one may believe that all these acts of horrors are committed by a small minority of thugs and radicals who happened to be Muslims. Fine, let us ignore all those "fringes" for now - those who are giving Islam a bad reputation. And never mind Saudi Arabia, the cradle of barbarism, fixed in formaldehyde since Islam's inception. Also, let us overlook the dastardly Shiite fanatics presently ruling (ruining) the great nation of Iran. Iranian Shiite Hitlerists are hell-bent on wiping Israel off the face of the planet, while viciously devastating Iran's own largest minority - the Baha'is, people universally-recognized as law-abiding and peaceful.
Would someone account for what is happening in the "civilized" Islamic country of Egypt? The world owes Egypt a debt of gratitude for giving it the Muslim Brotherhood - the lead promoter of Sunni hatred toward the infidels, with chapters and front organizations in much of the world. With typical hypocrisy, the Egyptian government claims that the Muslim Brotherhood is outlawed, when, in actuality, the Brotherhood holds twenty-five percent of the seats in the Egyptian parliament. The same country that gave the world vicious American-killers like Al-Zawahiri is the recipient of huge largess from the American taxpayer.
Islamic rules are called Sharia law or the Islamic law. Sharia law is a misnomer, for laws must be squarely based on justice and fairness to all, while Sharia law is nothing more than a primitive set of dogma stipulated by men for the benefit of Muslim men.
Sharia law disenfranchises women from their legitimate equal rights with men; prescribes barbaric punishments such as stoning, amputation of limbs and death. Sharia law, contrary to what its advocates claim, does not limit application of its draconian provisions to Muslims only: it considers any and all disputes involving Muslims with non-Muslims also in its purview to adjudicate. Sharia law is inherently arbitrary, obsolete, and discriminatory to the extreme. Wherever Sharia law rules, injustice prevails. Non-Muslims, women, and even children are victimized by its biased and cruel provisions.
Sharia law represents a twist to the concept of Blind Justice: It is indeed blind to justice. Even a cursory examination of Sharia’s family law, for instance, proves unequivocally its blindness to justice: it makes the shameful past laws, such as Jim Crow laws, seem as paragons of fairness by comparison.
These are the conditions on the ground wherever Sharia rules. Violence of all forms is endemic to Islamic law and is not confined to any fringes. Sharia law itself is the fringe--a fringe that is oppressive, hateful of others and violent to the core. Presently, fanatical Islam is lashing out with mad fury before its own final demise. The “infidel” world has been complicit in the surge of Islamism through its mistakes, complacency, and greed.
Warning: Islam is not a religion but a
political ideology which incites hate, violence, intolerance and terror.
Islamists are terminators. You cannot bargain with them. You cannot
reason with them. They do not feel pity or remorse, or fear. And they
absolutely will not stop, ever, until all the infidels are dead or have
submitted to Islam. The only language the Islamists understand is the
language of force.
In non-Muslim lands, Islamism, flush with Petrodollars, has been accelerating in its drive for the world Caliphate and is moving at the speed of light by building more mosques, printing more indoctrinating Islamic books, imposing more of its presence in the western culture, in our schools and university campuses, bullying, intimidating and challenging more Christians and other peaceful people of faith and by using our democratic laws against us.
In the Islamdom, they can dish out insults to non-Muslims; arrest Christians, Bahia’s or the Jews just for praying. They can confiscate their Holy books and toss them in the trash. They call the Jews pigs and monkeys, and spit on anyone that isn’t Muslim. But they go into frenzies of righteous outrage at the slightest criticism of their barbaric and highly dangerous beliefs.
They never need to challenge the existing political order in our country, but can achieve all their goals without bothering or violating the Constitution of the U.S. because that Constitution guarantees complete government non-interference toward religion. Finally and the most important element perhaps is the extreme coziness and appeasement by the current U.S. administration towards Islam, Muslims and radical Muslims which will recklessly and unknowingly drag the whole country and her citizens into an everlasting Islamic inferno, an inferno similar to the Islamic Republic of Iran and other Islamic terrorist countries.
“Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war.” Qur’an:9:5
"Fight those who do not believe until they all surrender, paying the protective tax in submission." Qur'an:9:29
We must also end the deadly practice of “Political Correctness.” Truth, only naked truth, can set us free. And freedom is our greatest gift of life. Life without freedom is death disguised as life. Remember Patrick Henry’s cry: Give me liberty or give me death. Humanity cannot afford, and must not ignore, the emergence of the latest threat to its very existence on this planet. We must fight for life, for liberty, for freedom and end the nightmare of Islamic hellfire.
Problem with America is that it depends on oil from the middle east and has invested billions of dollars in the oil sector in the middle east. So if USA bans Islam it loses billions this puts it in a catch 22 situation. So whats the way out for USA?
Unfortunately this situation affects many of the western countries.
One way for these countries is to gradually reduce their dependence on Middle eastern oil and to drastically limit the immigration from Muslim countries, this is a long term thing. But again there are too many politically correct politicians in western countries for this to happen.
The other way is for the local people and immigrants of other religions besides Islam to protest in huge numbers against Islam showing the Muslims that their behavior is not acceptable.

A very strong article full of facts and reasons. Govt of America must take a serious note of it. Islam has to be defeated every time and everywhere and by every non-Muslim by whatever means. It should be banned in every non-Muslim country as is in Saudi-Arab. There no other faith is allowed other than Islam.

I had written a blog around 2 years back highlighting the exact points and am extremely happy to find that this is certainly a better write up clearly highlighting the dangers of Islam. Clearly, none of the Muslim nations are non-Muslim friendly, whereas they enjoy all freedom everywhere. What a shame I feel. None of the Muslim nations have prospered in any sense - intellectual or economical, except for a few. So, it rules with illiterate and ignorant public.
I feel that the Muslims are strategically targetting Christians across the world, as easy 'converts'. When they have 'numbers' (because Christians make a good majority) expect to see some barbaric rules in the name of Sharia law.
Since a few weeks I have stopped buying from shops owned by Muslims, buying products from Muslim nations, and interacting with them - my way of silent protest, even though I know it makes little difference. But, some of my friends have also started to adopt this approach.
Congratulations for Good work.

Amil Imani wrote 'The only language the Islamists understand is the language of force.' Likewise, Thomas Jefferson was right on target when he wrote 'With every barbarous people...force is law.'

This article is good but it is useless because U.S.administration and European muslim appeaser Governments will not pay any attention on the contents of this article.Citizens are responsible for their own country and it is their falt if they are not keeping watch.Islam has sucked the brains of the muslims and has reduced them into zombies and monsters.They kill each other gladly to obtain the place in paradise they will not spare kaffars if they got the apportunity.Infact every muslim liveing in the U.S.A.and in the west is a potential terrorist.Muslims have convinced that the problems of their world are the fault of kaffars.Sooner or later the Americans and the Europeans will become dhimmies in their own countries unless a large number of muslims immigrants are not expelled or deported from USA and Europe.Strip off the citizenship of Muslims immigrants up to third generations and deport them into their imagination paradise,their native lands.Hindus,Sikhs, Buddhist,Asian christian, and Muslims apostates,can meet the demands of employers.As long Muslims practice their religion they can not live in peace with the rest of communities.

One of the reasons that jihadists do violence and other murderous actions is that they have the pipedream of dying in the jihad then end up living in a paradise with 72 virgins. The nonsense of such a belief must seem real to them. This only shows how brainwashed and deluded they are to beleive such a far-fetched fabrication. To put it another way, the words of the French philosopher, Francois-Marie Voltaire [1694-1778] apply to the above 'As long as men continue to believe in absurdities they will continue to commit atrocities.'

The problem with Islam is the same problem with all religions. They all rely on faith ( unquestioning belief) which is the antithesis of reason . Reason is man's way of dealing with reality, defining cause and effect and acting accordingly. Following dreamed up commands without questioning their validity or appropriateness is a sure method of vicious dogmatic bloodshed and torture. The ideology that cries ,' believe or suffer' is a religion based on fear,intimidation and blood and can never claim any semblance of peace. We have seen the peaceful religions in endless perpetual wars and yet the cry for unquestioning belief is never challenged with the simple antidote of 'WhY?'

Everything needed as prescribed above is correct, but everything needed to stop Islam is in short supply, while everything Islam needs to succeed is in long supply...Mostly supplied by ignorant or terrified dhimmi kufr...Right now, everything Islam needs is being abundantly provided by the current administration under Rasulullahhaha Obama...Maybe, in Nov the criminals can be driven out...Some people think that the power hungry Obama want's to stay in power forever, and will come up with an 'October surprise' to cancel the election and declare a national emergency, putting himself in charge of everything American...

(Kind of long, sorry. This is from a Islam Question and Answer website, unedited. Thses are the major sins, and nearly everyone of them comes down to not being a Muslim, or Muslim enough, doubting Islam in any way, or thinking that anything non-Muslim might be good, even for non-muslims. The penalty for all of them is Death. It's brutal supremicist, totalitarian intolerance.)
What are the actions which, if a Muslim does them, he will be an apostate from Islam?. Praise be to Allaah. Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: Note that Allaah has commanded all people to enter Islam and to adhere to it and to beware of whatever is contrary to it. He sent His Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) to call mankind to that. He tells us that those who follow him will be guided and that those who turn away from him have gone astray. In many verses He warns against the means that lead to apostasy and all forms of shirk and kufr. The scholars (may Allaah have mercy on them) have said, when discussing apostasy, that a Muslim may apostatize from his religion by doing many acts that nullify Islam, which makes it permissible to shed his blood and seize his wealth, and which will put him beyond the pale of Islam. Among the most serious and most common of these things are ten which were mentioned by Shaykh Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhaab and other scholars (may Allaah have mercy on them all). We will mention them in brief here, so that you and others can beware of them, in the hope that you will be safe and sound. We will also explain a little about them after mentioning each one. 1 – Shirk or associating others in worship with Allaah. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “Verily, Allaah forgives not (the sin of) setting up partners (in worship) with Him, but He forgives whom He wills, sins other than that, and whoever sets up partners in worship with Allaah, has indeed strayed far away” [al-Nisa’ 4:116] “Verily, whosoever sets up partners (in worship) with Allaah, then Allaah has forbidden Paradise to him, and the Fire will be his abode” [al-Maa’idah 5:72] That includes praying to the dead, seeking their help, making vows and offering sacrifices to them or to the jinn or to the grave. 2 – Whoever sets up intermediaries between himself and Allaah, asks them to intercede, and puts his trust in them, is a kaafir according to scholarly consensus. 3 – Whoever does not regard the mushrikeen as kaafirs, or doubts that they are kaafirs, or regards their way as correct, is a kaafir. 4 – Whoever believes that anything other than the teaching of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is more complete than his teachings, or that the rulings of anyone else are better than his rulings – such as those who prefer the rule of false laws to his rulings – is a kaafir. 5 – Whoever hates any part of that which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) brought, even if he acts in accordance with it, is a kaafir, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “That is because they hate that which Allaah has sent down (this Qur’aan and Islamic laws); so He has made their deeds fruitless” [Muhammad 47:9] 6 – Whoever makes fun of anything in the religion of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), or makes fun of any texts that refer to rewards or punishments, is a kaafir. The evidence for that is the verse (interpretation of the meaning): “Say: Was it at Allaah, and His Ayaat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) and His Messenger that you were mocking? Make no excuse; you disbelieved after you had believed” [al-Tawbah 9:65-66] 7 – Sihr (witchcraft) – including spells to turn one person against another or to make someone love another. Whoever does this or approves of it is a kaafir. The evidence for that is the verse (interpretation of the meaning): “but neither of these two (angels) taught anyone (such things) till they had said, ‘We are for trial, so disbelieve not (by learning this magic from us)’” [al-Baqarah 2:102] 8 – Supporting the mushrikeen and helping them against the Muslims. The evidence for that is the verse in which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as Awliyaa’ (friends, protectors, helpers), they are but Awliyaa’ of each other. And if any amongst you takes them (as Awliyaa’), then surely, he is one of them. Verily, Allaah guides not those people who are the Zaalimoon (polytheists and wrongdoers and unjust)” [al-Maa'idah 5:51] 9 – Whoever believes that some people are allowed to operate outside the law of Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) just as al-Khidr operated outside the law of Moosa (peace be upon him) is a kaafir, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers” [Aal ‘Imraan 3:85] 10 – Turning away from the religion of Allaah, not learning it and not acting in accordance with it. The evidence for that is the verse (interpretation of the meaning): “And who does more wrong than he who is reminded of the Ayaat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of his Lord, then turns aside therefrom? Verily, We shall exact retribution from the Mujrimoon (criminals, disbelievers, polytheists, sinners)” [al-Sajdah 32:22] With regard to all of these acts that nullify Islam, it makes no difference whether a person is joking, serious or afraid, unless he is forced to do it. All of them are very serious, and they all happen a great deal. The Muslim should beware of them and fear falling into them. We seek refuge with Allaah from the things that may incur His wrath and painful punishment. May Allaah send blessings and peace upon the best of His creation, Muhammad, and upon his family and companions. The fourth category includes those who believe that the systems and laws devised by men are better than the sharee’ah of Islam, or equal to it; or that it is permissible to refer to them for judgements and rulings, even if he believes that referring to sharee’ah is better; or that the Islamic system is not fit to be applied in the twentieth century; or that it was the cause of the Muslims’ backwardness; or that it should be limited to a person’s relationship with his Lord and not have anything to do with the other affairs of life The fourth category also includes those who think that carrying out the ruling of Allaah by cutting off the hand of the thief or stoning the married adulterer is not appropriate in the modern age. That also includes: everyone who believes that it is permissible to rule according to something other than the laws of Allaah with regard to interactions, hudood punishments or other matters, even if he does not believe that that is better than the ruling of sharee’ah, because by doing so he is regarding as permissible something that Allaah has forbidden according to consensus, and everyone who regards as permissible something that Allaah has forbidden and is well known to be forbidden in Islam, such that no Muslim has any excuse for not knowing that it is forbidden, such as adultery, alcohol and riba, and ruling by something other than the sharee’ah of Allaah, is a kaafir according to the consensus of the Muslims.

@ Persian patriot, Moral relativism is the last refuge of the morally retarded….. Don’t you just love it when the clueless apologists weigh in with their irrelevant arguments?.....
'Jihad, Holy war, is an obligation for all believers. ... The state of war is the natural state with regard to infidels ... These doctrines of which the practical outcome is obvious are found on virtually every page of the koran ... The violent tendencies of the Koran are so striking that I cannot understand how any person with common sense could miss them.'.....
Show the morally bankrupt and irrelevant LIBTARDS that you’re not as ignorant as they would like you to be by proudly displaying the symbol of the new crusaders ….
Absolutely brilliant Sir. As someone said before, this should be required reading for all Americans and other kafirs so they can save themselves before it is too late. Islamic migration should be stopped immediately to save ouselves.

IS ISLAM DIFFERENT FROM OTHER RELIGIONS?
Tina Magaard, an accomplished linguist who got her Ph.D. in Intercultural Communication from the Sorbonne, did a three-year study of the original texts of the ten largest religions. One of her many findings was that Islam's core texts were the most aggressive against other groups.
From [www.state.gov], the 2009 Report on International Religious Freedom, here are some excerpts on a few Muslim nations:
YEMEN '...the General Election Committee has adopted a policy barring all non-Muslims from running for Parliament...'
AFGHANISTAN 'Citizens who convert from Islam to the Baha'i faith face risk of persecution, similar to that of Christian converts, up to and including the death penalty...'
JORDAN '...the Government prohibits conversion from Islam...The Government freely allows conversion to Islam...'
ALGERIA 'Ordinance 06-03, which entered into effect in September 2006 and has been enforced since February 2008, limits the practice of non-Muslim religions...'
COMOROS 'Proselytizing for any religion except Islam is illegal...'
INDONESIA 'Article 156 of the Criminal Code makes spreading hatred, heresy, and blasphemy punishable by up to five years in prison. Although the law applies to all officially recognized religions, the few cases in which it has been enforced have almost always involved blasphemy and heresy against Islam...'
EGYPT '...persons age 16 and older may convert to Islam without parental consent...
'In [January 2008] ...the [Cairo Administrative] court wrote that principles of Islamic law forbid Muslims from converting away from Islam...'
'...The approval process for church construction continued to be hindered by lengthy delays, often measured in years,...'
'...the Government's interpretation of Shari'a...dictates 'no jurisdiction of a non-Muslim over a Muslim...'
'...the Government discriminates against non-Muslims...'
I'm working my way through the Religious Freedom Reports on all the Muslim-majority countries.

Persian patriot, your theory is flawed. Where else Christianity arose out of persecution and conquered the Roman Empire by peace, and the Christians only went to war on crusade after four hundred years of Islamic conquest of Middle East and Europe (636 - 1099). Mohammad began with Christian communities there and then his successors moved on to Constantinople, Spain and Poiters. Christian popes did not kill each other in the first centuries but Mohammads family members began killing each other right away, Jesus disciples did not. And if Islam is s newer religion and so more savage for that, why are the Bahais who are even newer not savage?
Finally, check your flawed comparison:

Ron, Please DO move to a muslim country. Canada doesn't need any more half-witted dhimmis like yourself appeasing islam.
It's a big enough problem trying to get the Canadian muslims to admit anything negative about their 'religion'.... They don't need some disgruntled, kafir to step up and defend their religion.
Mohammed gave them all the instructions to safeguard islam and hate those outside the cult. Like any good cult leader would, eh.
Bukhari Volume 1, Book 2 'Belief', Number 10: Narrated Abu Musa: Some people asked Allah's Apostle, 'Whose Islam is the best? i.e. (Who is a very good Muslim)?' He replied, 'One who avoids harming the Muslims with his tongue and hands.'
And the cherry on top of that hadith? Certainly this hadith:
Bukhari Volume 1, Book 2 'Belief', Number 14: Narrated Anas: The Prophet said 'None of you will have faith till he loves me more than his father, his children and all mankind.'
Read the Quran and ahadith of Bukhari, Ron. These are the original materials used to construct islam's 'Boxed Legacy'.....
RIP Aqsa Parvez and the other women and innocents who were chosen to die because they didn't love Mohammed enough. Or dared say something bad about another muslim.
(For me, personally, those two MoTales from Bukhari are absolute poison on Muslim civilizations and their chance of reform and evolution. Can't insult a fellow Muslim, and I have to love Mohammed more than my own family?? UGH......)
