Who Deliberately Ignores public, published, calls to murder, in any IDEOLOGY, for example in a Superstitious Religion, become accomplices to any mayhem that Ideology inflicts.
Islam, fundamental, literal and unreconstructed (Wahhabism, or Shia as in Iran’s Islamist “Republic”) is inherently terroristic. (That some Judeo-Christian sects, like the Catholic Inquisition, were also terroristic is not besides the point: instead it proves it; Islam was indeed derived from Judeo-Christianism; they are all religion of Abraham, a psychopath ready to stab his innocent son, to satisfy his boss, an intrinsically and symbolically terroristic act of the basest order… It’s easy to see why oligarchs love Abraham: He ennobled the vilest act of ultimate violence just to please “The Boss” or “The Man“.)
Saladin, first Sultan of Egypt and Syria, founder of the Ayyubid dynasty, arrived at the conclusion that Fundamentalist Islam was incompatible with civilization, in the Twelfth Century. So Saladin outlawed it: Saladin had a war to win with the Crusaders, and he could not win it if he defended homicidal savagery.
The Ayyubid and Egyptian legal system then punished with the death penalty those advocating Literal Islam. Objecting that the Bible, the original inspiration of the Qur’an, makes the same advocacy of violence, is neither here, nor there, as no government in the last two millennia advocated governance according to the Bible (not even Roman emperor Theodosius’ terroristic Catholic regime in the 380s… which used the Evangels to terrorize the Roman People…)
Wahhab, an Islam fundamentalist, appeared in Arabia, five centuries later. Muhammad bin Saud, of the Saudi family, made him an offer Wahhab couldn’t refuse. Muhammad ibn ʿAbd al-Wahhab replied:
You are the settlement’s chief and wise man. I want you to grant me an oath that you will perform jihad against the unbelievers. In return you will be imam, leader of the Muslim community and I will be leader in religious matters.
The Saudis needed reasons to kill their enemies, Wahhab provided them. Ibn Abd al-Wahhab described followers of both the Christian and Jewish faiths as sorcerers who believed in devil worship, and cited a hadith of Muhammad stating that punishment for the sorcerer is `that he be struck with the sword.`Wahhab asserted that both religions had improperly made the graves of their prophet into places of worship and warned Muslims not to imitate this practice. Wahhab concluded that ‘The ways of the people of the book are condemned as those of polytheists.’
So let’s consider Literal, Fundamental Islam, promoted by many deliberately ignorant individuals as a “religion of peace” (and that is exactly how the violent propagandists of Islam want it to be described). Literal Islam background is uncomfortably similar to the Literal “Old Testament” of the Bible. Moreover the basic texts of Literal Islam include direct orders to hurt whom modern secular, United Nations Law as innocent citizens on the basis of subjective criterions such as the opinion one has of someone’s else religion or lack thereof.or protected categories. Here we focus on the Qur’an (Hadith are worse).
In truth, Fundamental Islam was, and is, a religion of war, an excuse to kill most types of people, from “gays” to “apostates”, to “hypocrites”, to all sorts of “unbelievers”, and that’s why it enabled those who invented it, 13 centuries ago, to conquer the largest empire, ever, in a few years. A remarkable military achievement by 40,000 fanatical, and lucky, warriors who submitted dozens of millions in the Mediterranean and Persia. Islam is fundamentally the ultimate war ideology: killing for God enables one to wait for Judgement Day in the most pleasant circumstances:
Quran, chapter 3 (Al Imran), verse 169–170:[7]
I quote below some significant verses of violence in the most basic text of Islam, the Qur’an, which is, allegedly, the word of the so-called “God”, a creature controlling the universe.
(There is significantly worse violence in the Hadith, books complementing the Qur’an, containing various reports by contemporary witnesses, or witnesses of witnesses, of what Muhammad supposedly said.).
All together, those verses extracted from the Qur’an, often often call for the most debasing, vicious, cruel or lethal violence, against most categories of people: “hypocrites”, “homosexuals”, “apostates”, “unbelievers”, “pagans”, women, and, of course, those who “insult” Islam, or its long dead celebrities. The possibility of killing people by accusing them to have deviated from the correct religion, and “heresy”, was inaugurated on an industrial scale by Roman Emperor Theodosius 1, in 380 CE, and propagated to Islam 280 years later (when Caliph Ali started to burn miscreants). This is why “Orthodox Catholicism” of the Fourth Century and Islam of the Seventh Century, seduce tyrants ever since.nts ever since.
I quote, you decide.
Many, if not most, “Muslims” have not read the Qur’an thoroughly: reading the Qur’an is not a requirement to embrace the faith. Let alone have they read the Qur’an so well that they contemplated what the Qur’an, read literally, really means in practice (easy lives for the bloodiest tyrants).
It’s not that easy to read the real Qur’an: versions of the “Qur’an” are circulated, where all the nasty stuff has been removed (such versions are often called “The Glorious Qur’an“). That propaganda works very well to convert those who are naive and unaware to Islam.
This situation of deep misinformation is encouraged by the command, which is explicitly found within the Qur’an, to LIE to non-Islamists. Thus a simple trick has been devised: a so-called “Glorious Qur’an” is shown to non-Islamists. In this “Glorious Qur’an”, the 7,000 words of extreme and sometimes lethal violence quoted below, have been expunged, leaving a mild version of Islam behind. Once the non-Islamists have been conned into viewing Islam to be nice and once they have embraced it as something civilized, the violence can be progressively revealed, and presented as a sane reaction to abuse. If they don’t get it, they can be told that renouncing Islam, apostasy, is punished by death.
Another factor of violence in Fundamental Islam is that the ideology is not just a superstitious religion, but an ideology of law and governance (which Christianism never was, except in the small Vatican state… hence the murderous torture of astronomer Giordano Bruno). “Sharia”, Islamist Law, differ appreciably from human ethology, and imposes the views of a so-called “god” on gender, equality, sexuality, and tolerance to belief and inquiry.
Indeed, the situation is not symmetric with Western Civilization, Christianism and the Bible… from which the Qur’an arose (with much desert added!) Indeed, in the Greco-Roman empire, and the Latin West which succeeded it, secular law was never subjugated to a superstitious religion; in particular, secular Roman law, 25 centuries old, and Salic law, legal foundations of the West, never had anything to do with the Bible. Whereas Islam, a superstitious religion, a variant of Judeo-Christianism, pretends to be all the law one needs! Tellingly, when it orders to kill homosexuals, a secular order, the Qur’an just quote “Lot“, in the Bible…
Time to Read the Qur’an, People, So You Learn What All Too Many Pontificate About Disingenuously. The Qur’an is an Important Book, full of preached violence, which most have not read while falsely claiming that they know it is all about peace. (This disinformation campaign, that Islam is good for you, and good for them, is part of a greater manipulation by oil men and their allies, which originated in Washington and New York, as early as the 1930s, and which was formalized in 1945, not be be addressed in the present essay… which was mostly written by “god”, because now here we quote:)

Many, among the inferior, anti-intellectual types, brazenly identify quoting the Qur’an with “Islamophobia”. That, per se, is not just an attack against reason itself, but also a form of racism “Let them have Islam, like Marie-Antoinette said, let them have cake.” :
The subject is that sensitive, the lie, that enormous. A lie all too many Western “intellectuals” have become inured to. Some even identify criticizing some aspects, or ideas of Islam with “racism“. Some are very confused, while some are lying deliberately on an industrial scale. No confusion here. The clarity of reality, the transparency of quotes, instead, is embraced. Thus read, below, hundreds of quotes from the Qur’an, a very short book.
What is racist is to hold that ways and means which have been considered to be intolerable and insufferable to us, in Western Europe (and its numerous ex-colonies) since the worst depths of the Middle Ages, lethal religious obscurantism, is not just perfect for them, Muslims, but even ought to be what defines them. And what is racist is to view that lethal religious obscurantism, an inhuman cult, is perfectly appropriate for much of humanity.
Obama went to Cairo, and evoked the “Holy Qur’an” in glowing terms, several times. So did Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Supreme “Guide” of Iran, in equally glowing terms, after many got killed in the streets of Teheran, while theocratic order was reestablished, under Khamenei’s command. As I explained in my analysis of the Qur’an’s Sura 4, verse 59, Khamenei was theologically correct. Khamenei is viewed by most Shiites as the functional equivalent of a Pope. Later Iranians were heard calling for the death of the “dictator”, Khamenei. Savage repression ensued, and now calm reigns.
The naive ones may be baffled by the violent behavior of the theocrats in Iran. Is not Islam all about peace, as Islamists always insist? Apparently it’s eternal peace, in the sense of Neda Agha-Soltan, a woman deliberately shot in the chest, one the many bystanders shot to death by the forces of theocracy. The idea? Kill the obviously innocent, and the slightly rebellious shall tremble.
Will Violence Set Below The Horizon With Islamism, As It Did With Christianism?
The most sacred text of Islam, its very foundation, is the Qur’an, the exact word of God Himself, transmitted by His Messenger, Muhammad. We want to have an opinion about Islam? Let’s get to know the Holly Qur’an better! The Qur’an is in 114 chapters (“suras”) each made of “verses”. The first numbers below refer to the sura, the second numbers refer to the verse inside that particular sura. The length of suras diminishes dramatically as one proceeds further down the Qur’an (that’s why there are fewer quotes from higher sura numbers down below).
The Qur’an has around 80,000 words, so roughly a tenth of the Qur’an is found below. In a preceding work, I selected all the quotes in the Qur’an pertaining to women. (The Qur’an’s attitude to women is itself violent, abusive, exploitative, demeaning, and idiotic; however the argument can be made that it represented a progress, relative to what was practiced before in Arabia.)
This time, I tried to select quotes exhibiting Allah’s no non-sense, robust character. The Qur’an is mostly a list of orders from God (“Allah”), the exact same God as in the Bible, claims Muhammad, the Messenger, PBUH. (After they mention The Messenger, adoring Muslims like to add “PBUH”, the abbreviation for Peace Be Upon Him; the reason for this desperate, obsessive longing for peace will become obvious after reading the 7,200 words below.)
As God Himself points out in the Qur’an, you are presumptuous if you think you can judge God, or ask Him for His motives. Just believe what God tells you:

This was the Qur’an, the most basic, sacred text of Islam, because it is the word of God Himself. Who is this “god”, and do we want to trust him with nuclear bombs? (Reminder: the author supports pacific nuclear energy, even in Iran, and I have explained why this is no contradiction, but complementary.)
There are many other basic texts in Islam, such as the Hadith (gossip about what Muhammad, and other sacred ones, were heard saying, supposedly) and the Sunna (gossip on how Muhammad lived). They are more of the same. Example:
Narrated Al-Mughira: I heard the Prophet Muhammad saying, “Ascribing false things to me is not like ascribing false things to anyone else. Whosoever tells a lie against me intentionally then surely let him occupy his seat in Hell-Fire.” … (Sahih al-Bukhari 2.378, cf. 1.106-108).

Conclusion:
The humorist and interviewer Steven Colbert asked the singer formerly known as “Cat Stevens” why he became a Muslim. Cat Stevens (born Steven Demetre Georgiou) now calls himself “Yusuf Islam”. Yusuf answered that what impresses him the most in Islam is that Muslims say “Salam” to each other, and “Salam” means “peace”. Thus, said “Yusuf” when you are around Muslims all you hear all day long is “Peace”, “Peace”, “Peace”. But why to obsess about peace? Is it compromised? How come one has to call for it constantly? Is not the one who is beaten up calling for peace? Well the text above was answer enough.

Some object that the same sort of mayhem is prescribed in the Bible. Of course: the Quran, and Islam, originate with the Bible. So one cannot say that the Quran is good because the Bible is bad… as many do. Instead, the Quran is bad because the Bible is bad. Here are some quotes from the Old Testament of the Bible:
“This is what the Lord Almighty says… ‘Now go and strike Amalek and devote to destruction all that they have. Do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’” 1 Samuel 15:3
“Happy is he who repays you for what you have done to us – he who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.” – Psalm 137:9
“So the man took his concubine and sent her outside to them, and they raped her and abused her throughout the night, and at dawn they let her go. At daybreak the woman went back to the house where her master was staying, fell down at the door and lay there until daylight. When her master got up in the morning and opened the door of the house and stepped out to continue on his way, there lay his concubine, fallen in the doorway of the house, with her hands on the threshold. He said to her, ‘Get up; let’s go.’ But there was no answer. Then the man put her on his donkey and set out for home.” Judges 19:25-28
“Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord.” – Ephesians 5:22
“When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again.” – Exodus 21: 7-8
Apologists of Judeo-Christo-Islamism call that Abrahamist religion a “civilization”… When actually it’s just a superstition grafted on deeper civilizations. Another line of apology is to pretend that vile and violent quotes are taken out of context. Naturally, all and any text can be distorted by being quoted out of context. However here, “God” is talking, His word is supposed to absolute. If God could be taken out of context, should not he have corrected this, and warned against out-of-context interpretations? Sometimes He does, kind of, but not much. So this is a partisan objection.
Abrahamist religions owe their success to their violence: they constitute metaphysics for genocidal and tyrannical policies. And that’s symbolized by the ultimate “believer” of Abrahamism, Abraham, agreed that it was more important to obey his insanely criminal boss, God, also known as Allah, and kill his own innocent child. How much more evil a religion could one create?… Short of enacting human sacrifices?
And if human sacrifices are good, or something one should be ready to engage in, to please the boss, if He orders it, should not thermonuclear war be a good thing too?
