There is a saying, "Actions speak louder than words." If the nature of Islam is not sufficiently clear from the words of the Koran its nature should be abundantly clear from the shocking, outrageous crimes of violence, brutality and mass murder that its adherents are perpetrating against non-Muslims all over the world. Whether we are speaking of ugly terrorist acts in Israel, Russia, India, the United States or somewhere else in the non-Muslim world the Muslim distinguishes himself by his shocking lack of conscience and humanity in horrible crimes of violence. And, what is even more shocking, he justifies his horrible acts in the name of God and religion. In this way Islam stands alone among the major religions of the world. No other religion on earth has the violent nature of Islam, no other religion is so consumed with hatred against other religions. And lest anyone claim that this kind of violence is the work of only fanatical fringe elements of the Islamic faith we must point to surveys in Muslim countries that show that in at least some Muslim countries as much as 70% of the people support the perpetrators of such crimes in their horrible actions. Muslim fundamentalism is not a small fringe element. Muslim fundamentalism is main-stream Islam. Muslim fundamentalism is the Koran --- it is a back-to-the-Koran movement. We all saw the power of Muslim fundamentalism in Iran in its revolution. Muslim fundamentalism is suppressed by many Muslim governments but is very popular among the masses. The Koran is a harsh, cruel, uncompassionate book and Islam is a product of that book. The Koran tolerates no other religion but Islam. All other religions are false and evil. According to the Koranic outlook, the only good and righteous government is an Islamic government and all other governments are evil and should be overthrown. All non-Muslims are infidels, idolaters who should be destroyed without pity. According to the Koran, holy war against the infidel is every Muslim's religious duty. All religions program the minds of their adherents into patterns of outlook, value and thought characteristic of the particular religion. And Islam programs the minds of its adherents into the bigoted, hateful outlooks found in its holy book, the Koran. Action follows thought. Thought has consequences. And the consequences of Islamic thought are the acts of violence, viciousness and cruelty that are associated with Islam. And it is interesting to note that the violence and viciousness characteristic of Islam is not directed only toward non-Muslims. Different Muslim sects and groups hate each other with a passion and are as vicious and brutal among themselves as they are with non-Muslims. The Islamic world is a den of vipers. Now we come to the following: The religious Muslim simply does not integrate into non-Muslim society. He doesn't fit and he is not happy there. The Koran repeatedly enjoins the Muslim to make no friends with the non-Muslim and if he does he is disobeying the Koran. Muslims are attracted to non-Muslim countries solely for economic reasons i.e. job opportunities. They may like the economic benefits but generally they don't like the country or its people. They are enemies in the land. Now looking at things from the non-Muslim point of view, the Muslim cannot be trusted. He is a threat in the land. His loyalty to the country cannot be trusted. In fact, no strict, religious, Koran-believing Muslim can possibly have a true and honest allegiance to a non-Muslim country --- the Koran precludes it. The only trustworthy Muslims are the non- religious ones. For the religious Muslim a non-Muslim government is wicked and evil and it is his duty to overthrow it and establish an Islamic state. Indeed the Islamic religion ought not be legal in any non-Muslim state. It is by its nature subversive, an enemy of the state. Every religious Muslim in a non-Muslim country is likely to be subversive in attitude and sentiment if not action, a potential terrorist, a very real threat to the citizens of the country. Whatever the Muslims may say, the real reason for the Muslim hatred of non-Muslims is just simply religious bias. It is pure religious bigotry. The Muslim speaks of justice. But, in fact, his vision is distorted and warped by his own bias and hatred. He has his own version of justice. The Christian world has been amazingly restrained and humane in its response to all the many Muslim acts of violence, brutality and mayhem against it. One wonders if the Muslims don't take advantage of Christian restraint. There are perhaps people who would suggest that the Muslims ought to be treated in the same way in which they treat others --- without mercy or humanity. Let me ask this question. Suppose it was the other way around and we were doing to them what they are doing to us? Suppose instead of Muslims sneaking into Christian lands and murdering Christians en masse it was the other way around and Christians were sneaking into Muslim countries and murdering Muslims en masse for no better reason than that they were Muslims. What do you think would be the response of the Muslims to this? You don't know? Let me tell you. The life of a Christian in a Muslim land wouldn't be worth a penny. Blood would be running in the streets. The Muslims would be out slaughtering every Christian they could find. That is just Muslim mentality. It is called by them "just revenge". It is vengeance. It is part of their religion. Let me ask another question. Suppose the situation in this world were reversed and it was the Muslims who had all the high technology and world power, and Christians had nothing, what do you think would happen? Knowing the depth of their hatred for the Christian it doesn't take much imagination to figure it out. We are very lucky that that is not the case. Nov 2002
