subject: 3rd Parts: Reinterpreting Islam ? [print this page] There is nothing about Islam which is moderate of course. It is one long screed, akin to Mein Kampf, against non-Muslims. There is no Golden Rule, no call to reason, no tolerance, no charity to non-Muslims and no frameworks in which one can see the cultural attitudes which created a modern world system. Nothing but violence and hate. The unbelievers are targeted in the Koran, in the life of Mohammed and in his sayings, for destruction. The last 3 wishes of Mohammed were clear; kill or expel all the Jews and Christians in Arabia; destroy Persia, Byzantium and Rome; and make Islam the only ideology of the Arab tribes. Pretty clear. The Koran is thus the opposite of what the Bible preaches. It is naturally Jihadic:
In the only scientific analysis of the Koran that I am aware of, scientist and theologian Bill Warner attempted to determine how much of the Koran was good to humanity as a whole. Most of the Koran is good to Muslims especially male and Arab Muslims of course. But what about non-Muslims, what about people, what about the average person who is just a human living on earth ? As Warner relates:
There are 4,108 words in the verses that seem to offer goodness to all of humanity (there are 153,207 words in the Koran, this varies upon which translation). Of course, this goodness is denied later in the chapter, but even at that, we have only 2.6% of the Koran that speaks well of humanity initially......
Even the 2.6% vanishes under the threatened violence if Kaffirs don't accept Islam's offer of goodness. Violence and suffering are promised to 100% of those who do not believe in Mohammed... (www.politicalislam.com/blog/the-good-in-the-koran/)
... What the Koran is saying is two things. First, if you the Muslim are in an inferior position of power [for instance a minority in a Jew-Christian area], you can be nice to Jews and Christians since Allah will torture them in hell anyways, even though the infidels don't know it. But even these verses are quite few and far between. Second, and more often, you will read a verse in which the Muslim is instructed to be nice to the Kaffir, only in the context of lying or deceiving the infidel to further the aims of Islam. This is called 'taqqiya' and deception to improve the position of Islam versus its enemies which are all non-Muslims is a fundamental doctrine of both Islam and Arab culture.

The world of the 5 senses is black and white, not grey. Arab and Muslim trickery and deceit are common. In reading the history of the Crusades one will be struck by how many times the Muslims in battle offered the out-manned Christians a truce, promising to allow the Knights to leave in good order with their arms and anything they can carry if they would just stop fighting. As soon as the Crusaders agreed to this, and were disarmed, they were of course slaughtered on the spot. Taqqiya. Any lie will do to forward the imperialist venture of the moon cult. Contracts, your word, morality ? All jettisoned if the position of Muslims is improved.
Reinterpreting Islam ? How about this rewrite the Koran so it looks and reads like the Bible. Then we can talk about an Islamic rebirth.
