My Sunday Thought for August 23, 2015: Radical "Islam"

"You do not do evil to those who do evil to you, but you deal with them with forgiveness and kindness."

-- The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

Read the quote again.  No, read it again, aloud this time.  Now, ask yourself how this measures up against the acts of barbarism, torture, rape, and murder of the innocent which is being condoned, if not commanded, by certain "Islamic" Imams.  Heresy?  Oh, absolutely!  But, these same Imams will reinterpret scripture to excuse their heresy and crimes against humanity and Allah, even though the Prophet's words are very clear.

"Those who are merciful have mercy shown them by the compassionate one, if you show mercy to those who are in the earth, he who is in heaven will show mercy to you."

-- The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

Christianity is a peaceful religion; Jesus wished it to be so.  Islam is a peaceful religion, Muhammad  (PBUH) wished to be so.  Yet, throughout the history these two Abrahamic religions have evidenced their total disregard and disrespect for their respective prophets.  Christianity has tried to move forward, or backward, into what Jesus really meant.  But how does Islam continue to justify this current heresy?  Well, I think the leaders of the faithful con those faithful into believing they, the leaders, the Imams, speak for God.  And, it is easy to justify heresy to insane sociopaths as all they want is permission to commit murder in the most heinous ways they can think of, like cutting five year old children in half, beheading common citizens, burning people alive in cages, and drowning babies in fifty gallon drums full of water.  Islam?  Really?  

A soldier truly, faithfully, carrying out the wishes of their deity would have no reason to cover their face to prevent recognition.  Rather, one would expect them to proudly serve their God.  One should then ask, what real soldier hides behind a mask?  Islam?  Really?

"Do you love your creator?  Love your fellow beings first."

-- The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

Iran would like to assist in the nuclear destruction of the world for the greater glory of Allah.  Okay, so we have proof that morons can actually rise to power in the third world.  No mystery here.  It might be relevant to point out to these geniuses that nuclear fallout over Israel will not be a boon to any Islamic country downwind of the detonation.  If there is a retaliation against Iran, every country with "stan" at the end of their name will also, in all probability, be a nuclear wasteland (Note to Putin, Russia has quite a few of these along their southern border.  So, for the "Islamic" heretic, nuclear destruction of the entire planet is in God's best interest.  Destruction of all life, including the faithful, is what Allah wants.  Islam?  Really?

"Act kindly toward women, for they were created from a rib and the most crooked part of the rib is its top.  If you attempt to straighten it you will break it, if you leave it alone it will remain crooked; so act kindly towards women."

-- The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

"Act kindly toward women" can be defined in no civilized society as forced sexual conduct, forced marriages, or rape.  Yet, this is exactly what the "Islamic" terrorist groups force on women.  This is Islamic manhood?  Perhaps I'm just a silly westerner that feels manhood stands for something greater than the immature, sick, sociopathic sexual conduct of fanatics.  Maybe it's just me, but I think men should act like men and not animals.  I think this is what Muhammad (PBUH) meant to be, and what Allah would want.  What kind of twisted mind could assume anything else?  Islam?  Really?

Taken at face value, I think one has to wonder how much of the Qur'an is actually original material from the hand of Muhammad (PBUH) and how much was added to by Imams with alternate agendas.  Like so much Christian scripture, the Qur'an also has its own contradictions which cause misinterpretations which make no real sense when taken in the context of a loving, "peaceful" religion.

But, as I have said many times in the past, this is an Islamic issue which the world of Islam must face head on and, more importantly, for the entire world to witness.  Islam must make a loud statement, and a brutal retaliation, against the heresy that infects it or there will be a war of conscience that will ultimately decimate the world.  If this happens, the "Islamic" state of terrorism wins, even though everyone loses.

Islam?   Really?  I, for one, think not.

This Sunday try looking up "Muhammad Quotes" on Google.  See how what he say stacks up against what you hear, or have read.  It can be an eye opener.  We must keep in our active mind the idea that, what was intended, the best laid plans, often go awry. 

Editor's Note 

(re: disclaimer cum "get out of jail free" card) 

Before you go getting your panties in a bunch, it is essential to understand that this is just an opinion site and, as such, can be subjected to scrutiny by anyone with a differing opinion. It doesn't make either opinion any more right or wrong than the other. An opinion, presented in this context, is a way of inciting others to think and, hopefully, to form opinions of their own, if they haven't already done so.

It is my fervent hope that we keep open and active minds when reading opinions and then engaging in peaceful, constructive, discussion and debate in an arena of mutual respect concerning the opinions put forth. After over twenty years as a military intelligence analyst, planner, and briefer, I have come to believe engaging each other in this manner and in this arena is the way we will learn tolerance and respect for differing beliefs, cultures, and viewpoints.

We all fall from grace, some more often than others; it is part of being human. God's test for us is what we do afterward, and what we learn from the experience.
