Islam is a complex organization
of memes. Memes are beliefs and like beliefs, memes can be good or bad. An
organization of memes is a very strong belief system. Good or bad, a strong
belief system kills rationality. Memes overpower the victim and victim is
unable to think. Victim behaves and acts according to the directions of memes.
Good or bad, memes ultimately harm society because it is frozen in time and
space. A person under influence of memes cannot think on his own, cannot adjust
with situation, cannot apply logic and cannot be prevented from dangerous acts.
Islamic belief system makes Muslims incapable to accept scientific truths like
“theory of evolution”, social truths like, “freedom of speech” and “equality of
genders” and so on.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Memes acquire further notoriety
as these are transmittable like virus. Memes behave exactly like a physical
virus in propagating. Affected person infects others. Others, once infected,
start infecting more people. It stops only when all are infected or when all
healthy persons are aware of the risk and immunized. All or none. Memes also
propagate similarly. Affected person infect new person. Newly infected person
then start infecting more people. Worse, memes also propagate through hereditary
line. Father transfers memes to sons and so on and so forth. Virus can be
contained and eventually eliminated by not allowing it to propagate. Memes also
can be contained but these won’t die out when propagation stops because of
vertical propagation of father to son continues. For elimination, all infected
persons have to be cured.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Islamic memedom is a dangerous
belief system. It is against civilization, against scientific knowledge,
against free thinking and against democracy. But Islam is also the fastest
growing religion. Future of humanity, therefore, rests on the fact that whether
civilization will be able to contain and eliminate Islam. Containment is surely
possible. All non-believers must be immunized to prevent spread of Islamic
beliefs to them. Also Muslims must be quarantined to their own countries.
Having done both we can take respite as immediate danger of collapse of
civilization is prevented. But how to destruct Islam? There is no force on
earth that can destroy Islam, followed by quarter of mankind. Only Islam can.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Islam will self-destruct; a
prophecy made by Mohammed in which he said that Islam will eventually be
rejected by the world and would return back to where it came from. Mohammed did
not lie. It is possible. Islamic memes are little different from normal memes.
These memes need propagation to control its thirst of blood. If it cannot
propagate outside, it will turn inside. Islamic memes will be inferred
differently by different groups and each will try to assert its version among believers using available
unused energy. EachSome group will become more vicious. Then there will be
competition between different sets of memes.
Different Islamic memes will fight for supremacy among themselves,
resulting in mayhem. Slowly violence will engulf Muslims societies and slowly
memes will lose their grip on people and in the end die out. If Islam is
contained, its internal energy will cause an implosion. Different sects of
Islam will fight out among themselves to establish correctness of their path
and destroy each other. But if they find non-believers among them then they
will unite and destroy non-believers. So Islam can be destructed if Muslims can
be confined to 100% Islamic states.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The Messenger of Allah (Mohammed)
observed: Verily Islam started as something strange and it would again revert
(to its old position) of being strange just as it started, and it would recede
between the two mosques just as the serpent crawls back into its hole.”<span style="color: red;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
(In this hadith, Mohammed
foretold that the end of Islam would be strange just like its beginning and
that it would shrink back to the limited area where it came from –between the
two mosques of Mecca and Medina.)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Mohammed’s predictions of Islam
crawling back like a snake to where it came from were repeated extensively in
several other hadiths:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“There will be much killing
during the last days of the Muslim.” </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Muslims will diminish in number
and they will go back to where they started [before Islam]”
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The history of Islam tells us
that Islam needs blood to thrive. Human blood is the life-line of Islam,
violence is its hallmark, and hatred its foundation. In the beginning, Islam
lived on the blood of infidels. Today also Islam is propagating through
violence against non-believers. There are 49 Muslim majority countries in the
world. Most of them have nearly 100% Muslim population. Islam cannot spread
further in 100% Muslim countries. So Islam starts cannibalizing itself. Muslims
start killing other Muslims for being less Muslim. As a car needs gasoline to
run, so does Islam need human blood just to run its own course, set by
Mohammed, its Prophet. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Since its inception, Islam has
been at war with civilization. “Civilization” is considered a threat to
Arabia’s identity and culture and with Islam it was the outside world that had
to change and adapt to Arabia’s language, culture, religion. Islam destroyed
Zoroastrian civilization. It is today survived by a few adherents in India. One
small group fled Persia on the wake of Islamic storm in their land and received
shelter in multi religious, multi ethnic and multi linguist society that of
India. 5000 year old civilization of Persia had totally vanished but for this
miniscule representation. Similarly Egyptians were defeated, destroyed and
finally annihilated. Today it is only Arabs who inhabit most part of Egypt. The story repeated again and again.
The Bebers, the Turks, the Mongols, the Pathans, the Pushtuns and numerous
other people were looted, raped, abducted, enslaved and killed. Conversion was
a blessing. Conversion always came with a price. Forget your past and live
anew. Forget your language, custom and culture and adopt Arabia’s. Islamic
memeplex is so strong that the converted immediately forgot past and started
behaving like one from Arabia. New Muslims were more ruthless. He was always at
fore-front of violence meted out to his old co-religionists or infidels for
looting and raping. It is said that a new Muslim is more dangerous than born
ones. Islam spread like wild fire initially. In its path lay shattered great
civilizations. Initially Arabs did not convert local people. They just used
them. They took the women as sex slaves and the men as service provider or
slaves and killed them when they were not required. That is why core Muslim
land is fully Arabized, both culturally and genetically. There is no Egyptians
in Egypt, no Parsi in Iraq. Afterwards, Islam spread slowly though steadily.
Now new Muslims continued to use their language, customs and culture. That is
why Bengali Muslims speak Bengali and Indonesian Muslims speak Bhasha. But
Islam looks down to the use of any language other than Arabic, any custom other
than Arabic any practices other than Quranic. Today a Bengali Muslim feels
himself inferior because of his language. He tries to use more and more Urdu
words which he feels closure to Arabic. A Malayalam Muslim considers Urdu his
mother tongue though he and his fore-fathers cannot and could not speak Urdu.
But Urdu is also an Indian language. So an Urdu speaking Muslim claims Arabic
is his mother tongue. Endeavour of each Muslim is to become an Arab of 6th
century and bring back the days of Prophet and Caliphate which subsisted on
loot, enslavement and killing. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Like a Ponzi scheme, Islam must
expand to survive. In that sense, Islam works only when more and more area
comes under Islamic rule and more and more people join its pyramid. As long as
the violence in Islam can be targeted against infidel, Islam remains strong and
satisfied. New Muslim believers can empower the pyramid. Another place, another
state, another people is absorbed in Islamic state. It goes on and on. It goes
on till there is no place to bring under Islamic rule. There are no new people
to conquer. Ponzi scheme stops. What happens then? But the Ponzi scheme is
currently still operating as Islam is still expanding. It is expanding in
Muslim majority countries where still there are minorities to be persecuted and
Muslim minority countries where Muslims can live without restriction or
conditions. This expansion has given Islam a lease of life. It is growing in
India, in China, in Russia and in Western countries like in Europe, America,
and Australia. Growing Muslims have become law and order problem in all these
countries. Soon Islam is going to take over these countries one after another
and then non-believers would have no place to go. Tragically, civilization has
extended a life-line to a dying, evil ideology, one that has already predicted
its own death. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
What happens when a Muslim
country becomes 100% Muslim? Then different fractions try to impose their
concept on others. Imposition of Islamic ideas is called jihad. Jihadists yearn
for achieving their imaginary perfect Caliphate. For this they wage war with
state and try to usurp power of the state. They kill the opposition as
Caliphate did fifteen hundred years back. But enemy is also Muslim of another
sect or another group. In Iraq, Shias are murdering Sunnis and destroying their
mosques. In Syria, Sunnis are killing the Shias and burning their mosques. Then
the Shias are avenging this by destroying Sunni mosques. In Pakistan, both the
Sunnis and the Shias are occupying Ahamedi mosques and setting them on fire.
This musical chair of mosque-burning and killing is proceeding unabated, each
group claiming they are the true Muslims. Each group is adamant they are
absolutely following the Quran and Sunna (Mohammed’s deeds and examples), the
two principal sources of Islam.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Interestingly, this fratricide is
unstoppable, as the Islamic Ummah is far from monolithic. No one knows the
precise divisions among the Ummah. But Mohammed had predicted that the Muslims
will be divided into seventy-two sects, each one trying to kill all others, and
together killing the infidels. Islam is very much like communism. It starts off
extinguishing the “class enemy” and then when there are no more external
“enemies” to slaughter, the killing machine turns on itself. Maoists will kill
Leninist then Leninist will kill Stalinist and then Stalinist will kill
Marxists. It goes on. The killing machine devours its own children and then
ultimately engages in killing itself. Fratricidal war in Islam exists in its
very concept. Islam and Islamic intolerance go together.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The earliest example of Islamic
cannibalism, after all, is found in the Quran itself -- in verses. These verses
refer to the gutting of a rival mosque on the instruction of Mohammed, when he
was returning after his expedition to Tabuk, a resourceful town in the
Syrian-Byzantine territory. This Islamic incursion story goes like this:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Proceeding further from Tabuk on
his way to Medina, Mohammed halted at DhuAwan at Quba (about 4 kms. from
Medina), an hour’s journey from Medina. There, an opposition Muslim group had
built a mosque. Previously, while Mohammed was making preparations for the
march to Tabuk, this group of Muslims approached him and said, “O Messenger of
God, we have built a mosque for the sick and needy and for rainy and cold
nights, and we would like you to visit us and pray for us.” Busy with his
preparations for Tabuk expedition, Mohammed excused himself from visiting this
newly-built mosque, but assured the dissident group that he would call on their
mosque while returning to Medina (from Tabuk). On his return journey from Tabuk
Mohammed halted at DhuAwan. Mohammed accused builders of Mosque at DhuAwan of
being unjust. Without any warning, he sent a band of jihadists to burn and to
destroy the freshly constructed mosque. He said to his band of followers, “Go
to this mosque whose owners are unjust people and destroy and burn it.” His
band of raging arsonists stealthily entered the bustling mosque and set fire to
it when it was filled with people assembled for the evening prayer. The
worshippers dispersed in utter terror. Allah promptly sent down verse,
justifying the destruction of opposition mosques. To further validate his
gutting of this mosque, Mohammed concocted the story that he suspected that the
builders of the ‘Mosque of Dissent’ were planning to assassinate him.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
These verses of the Quran, when
taken in true Islamic spirit, can only mean one thing: the call for the
devastation of un-Islamic mosques. The most important question is: which
mosques are genuinely Islamic and which mosques are not so Islamic? Since there
is no central authority in Islam to decide on this, it becomes a moot-point. It
is, therefore, a free-market in Islam when it comes to destruction and
bloodshed. The consequences are obvious and inevitable: Sunnis are free to
destroy Shia mosques; the Shias are permitted to destroy Sunni mosques; both
these groups are free to destroy Ahmedi or Kurdish mosques, and so on. Within
each group there are sub-groups and sects and sub-sects. They are all entitled
to commit such atrocities on other groups, sub-groups, sects or sub-sects. This
is exactly what is going on in almost all Islamic Paradises.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Seed was sown by the prophet.
Ever since, the practice of killing Muslims by Muslims is accepted. Only he has
to be declared as apostate. During the time of rightly guided caliphs this
cannibalism took a serious turn, sparing not even the two last caliphs, ‘Uthman
and Ali. Both of them were murdered by savage Islamic fanatics. Among these
cases perhaps the murder of ‘Uthman stands out to be the most aghast. Here is
how it was carried out, as described by Tabari (The History of al Tabari,
volume XV, p219-20):</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Mohammed b. Abi Bakr, accompanied
by Kinanah b. Bishr b. ‘Attab, Sudan b. Humran and ‘Amr b. al-Hamiq, reached
‘Uthman by climbing over the wall from the house of ‘Amr b. Hazm. They found
Uthman, with his wife Nailah, reading the Surah of the Cow from the Quran.
Mohammed b. Abi Bakr came up to them and seized ‘Uthman’s beard. “May God
disgrace you, you hyena,” he said. ‘Uthman replied, “I am no hyena. I am God’s
servant and the Commander of the Faithful.” Mohammed said, “Neither Muawiyah
nor anyone else has been of any use to you.” Uthman said, “Son of my brother,
let go my beard. Your father would not have gripped like this.” Mohammed
replied, “Had my father seen you doing these things, he would have denounced
you for them and I mean to do worse to you than grab your beard.” Uthman said,
“I seek God’s help and support against you.” Then Mohammed pierced his forehead
with a broad iron-tipped arrow that he was holding. Kinanah b. Bishr raised
some arrows of the same kind that he was holding and plunged them into the base of Uthman’s ear
down to his throat. Then he fell on him with his sword until he killed him.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Kinanah b. Bishr struck his
forehead with an iron bar. He pitched forward, face down, and Sudan b. Humran
al-Muradi beat him after he had fallen and killed him.…As to ‘Amr b.al-Hamiq,
he jumped on ‘Uthman and sat on his chest—he was still barely alive—and stabbed
him nine times. ‘Amr said, “I stabbed him three times for God’s sake and six
times because of the anger in my breast against him.” The people who killed
Uthman were impeccable Muslims—the most ardent jihadists, belonging to the
stock of Mohammed the Hashim clan of the Quraysh.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
This Islamic cannibalism did not
end there. The cycle continued until Aisha (Prophet Mohammed’s child wife),
along with two of her brothers-in-law, Talha and Zubayr set out to avenge
‘Uthman’s murder. When she reached al-Basrah, a rebel stronghold, she killed
(by beheading) six hundred of the suspected rebels who had ‘supported killing
of ‘Uthman. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Next, Ali, was sucked into the
vortex of this vicious cycle, set out to punish Aisha’s gang. The result: ten
thousand Muslims, including Talhah and Zubayr lay perished in al-Basrah, equal
in proportion from both sides. Aisha’s life was spared by Ali, but her camel
was hamstrung.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Muawiyah b. AbiSufyan, the
governor of Syria and a close relative of caliph Uthman demanded from Ali the
handing over of the killers of Uthman. When Ali refused to comply with this
request, Muawayiah b. AbiSufyan, and his right-hand man, ‘Amr b. al-‘As (the
deposed governor of Egypt), became open enemies of Ali. They gathered forces
and set off to attack Ali. Ali met this force at Siffin. Fearful of defeat at
the hands of Ali’s fierce and well-trained army, Muwayiah and ‘Amr devised
quite an innovative trick. Their soldiers attached copies of the Quran at the
tip of their lances and raised them high in air. Ali’s soldiers went in stupor
and were hesitant to charge their enemy, lest they trample the Holy Quran. Both
sides remained standstill—the battle became a stalemate. In the end, both
parties agreed to stop fighting and decided on a speedy negotiated settlement
by appointing an arbiter from each side. Having mutually reached this
agreement, both sides separated and returned.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
But not everyone on Ali’s side
was happy with his prompt decision. A faction of Islamist extremists thought
judgment belonged to Allah and Ali’s decision to appoint arbiters for a
peaceful settlement is contrary to Islamic principles. This dissident group of
Ali was known as the Kharijites. They insisted that Ali resume fighting. But
Ali could not renege on his treaty of a peaceful settlement. The Kharijites
declared Ali to be a sinner and asked him to repent. Initial attempt by Ali for
reconciliation with the Kharijites met with feeble success. So, ultimately, Ali
had to fight a major battle at the canal of Nahrawan, east of river Tigris in
Iraq. This battle ended with a merciless mass slaughter of the Kharijites. But
this war did not completely eradicate the Kharijite problem. Many Kharijites
survived this genocide, went into hiding, and some of them returned to Kufa
(Ali’s headquarter in Iraq) stealthily. A few of them went to Egypt. Now
Kharijites are ready to wage war on other Sects of Islam.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The secret of Islam is out.
Nobody needs to destroy Islam. Islam can destroy itself. All that is needed is
to let it run its own course. It is bound to self-destruct. Only Islam must be
confined, confined to Islamic states. Let all Bengali Muslims go to Bangladesh.
Let Urdu speaking Muslims go to Pakistan. Let Kashmir be separated and handed
over to Pakistan with 10 crore Indian Muslims. The un-Islamic world just needs
to protect itself with strict security measures, never letting Muslims to
immigrate to their countries, never allowing Sharia to be practiced in non-
Muslim land, never granting citizenship rights to people who do not believe in
democracy or national boundaries and never allowing Muslims in non-Muslim
countries to breed like rats. Once the infidels learn the secret life of Islam,
it is simply a matter to watch how Islam implodes. Once the Islamic oil runs
dry, once the world secures a reliable source of energy to replace oil, once
the infidels stand together, and once the infidels become iron-resolute to contain
Islam in their lands, Islam will die a natural death.</div>

I have always wondered why men, forced
into Islam, remain faithful to Islam rest of their life. I thought sensible
persons would revert to their original faith once the compulsion is removed. It
rarely happens. Rather some of the
ruthless propagator of Islamic faith were actually themselves persecuted and
converted. Kala-pahar was an example. A Brahmin was converted by trick and
refused re-conversion by his ilk. Subsequently he earned the name of Kala-Pahar
for the ferocity of his actions to destruct his blood relatives and their religious
places. Some of the wives of Mohammed were widows of slain non-Muslims. In fact they were raped over the bodies of
their fathers and husbands. None of them really tried to assassinate or harm Mohammed
while they did have plenty of opportunities. History is full of such incidences.
Rather there are very few instances in the history of Islam where persecuted
but converted men and women took up arms against persecutor. True, Islam
prescribes vicious punishment for apostate. True, Hindus do not take back
converted folks in their midst. But these alone cannot be the reasons for
inability of converted people to rescind the alien faith. In fact, converted
people seem to be happy to be Muslims and more enthusiastic in persecuting and converting
others than born Muslims. It appears Islam is a virus which when takes over;
normal human being turns into a possessed person and follows Islamic dictates. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
But a similar thing happens in India quite frequently.
In recent times several God-men (Babas) had been arrested in India on varying charges
of molestation of women to murder. These babas have large followings. Many came
down to streets to defend these babas. These followers were even ready to
sacrifice their lives. Police and administration was hesitant to arrest these
Godmen for fear of reprisal. Apparently these followers have become mentally
dependent. They would do anything for the asking by their babas. Why people lose
their ability to thinking? Why people go against their Government and even
nation in support of a deceiver? It is because Godmen could create some such
ideas and infuse them in the minds of their naive followers that they become
hypnotised. The followers then can be
exploited. It is seen that influenced disciples are happily parting with their
physical possessions. Sometime people donate all their possessions and join the
baba as servant. They sacrifice their wealth, self-respect and even life. In
the process their family and children suffer. Even respectable ladies allow themselves
to be sexually exploited by the God-men. They all do these thinking they are
serving God. Why people do these? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Why so many Muslim men are
dedicated to terrorism? Or why so many Muslims are willing to blow themselves
up to kill non-believers? Or why Muslims are so committed to blowing up random
people in Pakistan, India, Indonesia, London and Madrid? Why educated Muslims
leave life of comfort and go to Syria to join barbaric ISIS? Why, why and why? Surprisingly
these people are not criminals. They are deeply religious people. They are God
fearing people. But then why God fearing orthodox Muslims are spreading hatred
all over the world, attacking non-believers (Non-Muslim) and their own fellow
Muslims (Not proper Muslim) alike? Why?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Because of memes. A meme is an
idea which can be copied from one mind to another. The custom of shaking hands,
for example, is a meme. A national anthem is a meme. “Rajput do not attack
fleeing enemy” was a meme. Even the word "meme" is a meme, which has
just made a copy of itself in reader’s mind. Some memes are better at making
copies of themselves than other memes. Memes compete with each other. Some
memes fail in propagation and the idea is forgotten. Later day, Rajput discarded
the idea of not following fleeing enemy. Some memes grow to affect more people.
Some memes evolve and become even better for propagation. One of the way for
memes to improve propagation capacity is to join together with other memes in a
mutually-supporting group. A combination of memes (memedom) is often able to
get itself into more minds than single meme.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
A religion is a memedom —
collection of memes. Most important meme is, therefore, "This is a holy
book." And the holy book itself is, of course, a collection of memes.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Let's look at how religious memedomes
evolve and compete. To begin with, let's assume we already have a religion
established. It already has a holy book and millions of people already have a
copy of the memedom in their minds.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
And then comes a variation.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The original memedom had a
"live and let live" attitude, and never tried to encourage its
followers to get converts. But then someone comes up with the idea that if you
can persuade a non-believer to become a believer, you earn some sort of
spiritual success. You are saving souls and your chances of getting into heaven
improve. Original meme propagated only vertically i.e. from father to son or by
heredity. The new variant is transmitted both vertically and horizontally (by
persuading new people). </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Okay, now you have two variations
on the same memedom: One says "live and let live." The other
motivates people to spread the memedom to new people. After a thousand years,
which of the two variations will have more people’s mind? Naturally the variant
one. Let's assume the variant memedom is more successful. Does that mean it
makes people happier? Or more successful in life? Or have healthier children?
No. Just because a memedom is successful doesn't mean it benefits any of the people
holding the memedom.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Success of a meme doesn't
necessarily mean it's good for the person holding that meme. If a memedom says
it is wrong to use contraception and wrong to masturbate, that memedom would
get itself copied into more minds than an identical memedom without these two
added memes. So the hapless believer, trying to follow the rules and be a good
person by avoiding the evils of contraception and masturbation, would have more
children than he might want or could afford, causing him to work overtime to
support them — working two jobs if he must. It sends him to an early grave, but
puts more copies of that memedom into the minds of future generations than
someone without those two memes. So the memedom has used the man for its own
purposes, or at least that's one legitimate way to look at it. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The three elements that make for
a successful meme are ability to propagate both vertically and horizontally,
loyalty of the victim and longevity in term of ability to reproduce identical
copies. In other words, if a meme makes lots of copies of itself, influences
the mind of the victim totally and makes accurate copies in perpetuity, it is a
successful meme. All else being equal, the meme that makes more copies, or
copies accurately, or lasts longer in the mind, will always out-compete a meme
that does any of these less effectively.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Now Islam is all that. Islam is a
brilliant memedom. Nobody with all the input of science and technology can
develop a better memedom today than what was conceived and implemented by
Mohammed in 7<sup>th</sup> century. One attempt was made in the twentieth

is not written by any man. It is directly God’s instruction, as told to
Mohammed, the prophet. Naturally it is forbidden to change even a single word

invention, but it is an important factor in the success of Islam. Something
only transmitted orally can change over time, but something written will be
identical a thousand years from now, and with modern printing presses, can be
reproduced in the millions, giving it enormous loyalty and commitment. </div>

they can never change or modify or "modernize" any of the teachings of
Quran. It is a capital sin to try to do so. The meme ensures its own

spread. It tells believers they must spread Islam. It is their holy duty to
bring Mohammad's warnings and Islamic law to every corner of the world. A
devout Muslim must try to spread Islam. Mohammed warns believers that if
anybody shows reluctance than another believer will take his place and he will
be left wayside and will be punished by God. </div>

brilliant innovation in Islam. In fact, Mohammed tried to preach Islam in Mecca
by persuasion. At the end of nine years he could convert only 150 faithful.
Once he was driven out of Mecca, he took up arms and spread Islam with sword.
In next ten years of his life he could convert entire population of then Arabia
which was in millions. That is why Quran repeatedly asks believers to catch and
slit the throat of non-believers if they fail to repent and convert. Although
some other religions have spread themselves using force but they did not have
any justification from their own religious doctrines.</div>

</span><!--[endif]--> Islam
commands its followers to create a government that supports it. This may be the
most brilliant innovation in Islam. Islam is the only religion that uses it.
Other groups of religious people have had political aspirations, but no other
religious group orders its followers — as a religious duty — to create a government
that follows its own system of law.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The use of warfare combines powerfully with the instruction
to create an Islamic state. So Islam spread quickly as their armies got bigger.
They conquered and set up Islamic states, most of which have lasted to this
day, and as can be seen, the laws within an Islamic state make it very
advantageous to convert to Islam.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Islam has a system of law, called Sharia, and all Muslims
are obligated to continually work toward making their government — wherever
they are — follow it. This is Islam's most brilliant innovation, and also the
most terrifying to non-Muslims. No religion ever tried to acquire state power.
Islam prescribes it. The whole world is divided into two parts. One is Dar-al-Islam
(land of peace) where sharia is established under Muslim rule and the other is
Dar-al- harb (land of war) where non-Muslims rule and sharia is not
established.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
According to this meme, the earth is Allah's. If there are
parts of the earth not following Islamic law, it is the duty of the faithful to
gain control of that land and establish Sharia. It is a sin to let it be. The
poor non-Muslims not living in an Islamic state need to be saved from the sin
of following laws other than Allah's. If they won't voluntarily change their
laws to Sharia, then it is the duty of Muslim warriors to insist. The world
cannot be at peace until every government on earth follows the laws of Allah.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is one of the most effective methods ever invented for
getting a memedom into huge numbers of minds. It's a method of control and
indoctrination similar to those used successfully in communist and totalitarian
states. </div>

</span><!--[endif]-->The seventh meme provides for new soldiers by
allowing polygamy. A Muslim man can marry up to four wives, and he can have sex
with as many slave girls as he wishes. The Koran especially encourages men to
marry widows. This is an important meme to add if you are going to be losing a
lot of soldiers in war. You need some way of replenishing your army. You don't
want the memedom to die out from a lack of offspring.</div>

</span><!--[endif]--> A woman
is in a thoroughly subordinate position. This meme converts women into child
producing machine. Independent women may want to have control of their womb.
This freedom is removed from the root. It also helps support the war meme. If
women had too much influence, they'd try to curb the fighting. Women in general
don't like to send their husbands and sons off to war. By subordinating women,
the memedom prevents their effective vote against war, violence, and conquest
and force them to accept the role of soldier producer for the war effort.</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast">
A sub-ordinate woman cannot control her
reproductive organ. She can be converted into a baby producing machine. This is
a vital requirement for propagation of Islam. Womb of every woman must be used.
Widows are required to re-marry. All captured women should be used to provide
sex. All children produced from a Muslim father would be Muslim.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The rules and laws (memes) within Islam that keep women
subordinate are numerous. For example, she is not allowed to leave her house
unless she is accompanied by a male relative. Under Islamic law, a woman is
forbidden to be a head of state or a judge. She can only inherit half of what a
man can inherit. In court, her testimony is only worth half of a man's. She is
not allowed to choose where she will live or whom she will marry. She is not
allowed to marry a non-Muslim or divorce her husband. Her husband, however, can
divorce her with a wave of his hand. And according to Sharia, he can (and
should) beat her if she disobeys him. All of these rules keep her subordinate,
which helps keep the war machine going unimpeded by domestic conflict.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Wage war a Muslim must. A Muslim man has a chance of getting
to heaven if he is a good Muslim, but it is not guaranteed. However, if he dies
while fighting for Islam, he is guaranteed to get in, and that's the only thing
he can do to guarantee it. This is a great meme for creating fearless,
enthusiastic warriors, especially given the vivid description of the sensuous
delights of heaven. Islam has produced many fearless soldiers and dominated
everywhere they went. There are very effective memes for converting a religion
into a military organisation.</div>

the five "pillars" — that is, one of the five central practices of a
Muslim. Within an Islamic state, it is enforced by law. Every Muslim must pray
five times a day. The practice helps the memedom dominate a Muslim's life;
infusing his daily rhythm with Islam. It would be impossible to forget anything
you deliberately do so often. Five times a day, every day, a Muslim must bow
down and pray to Allah.</div>

</span><!--[endif]-->Praying alone is O.K. But Islam recommends
prayer in Mosque with other Muslims. The prayer, Namaz involves moving together
in time. When Muslims pray, they all face the same direction, they bow down,
get on their hands and knees, and put their face on the mat, all in unison, and
then rise back up. Again and again. When people move together in time, whether
dancing or marching or praying, it creates a physical and emotional bond
between them. That's why all military training involves close-order drill
(marching in unison), even though it has been a long time since military groups
have actually marched into combat. There is no longer a need for the skill, but
all military training has retained this method because it is so effective at
creating a strong feeling of unity between soldiers. Western army inducted
drill for this purpose late in Eighteenth century but Islam introduced Namaz in
7<sup>th</sup> century.</div>

political pressure, and war. Mohammad might not have foresaw this possibility,

This principle has served Islamic goals very well throughout
history. Deceiving the enemy is always useful in war, and Islam is at war with
the non-Islamic world until the whole world follows Sharia law. All non-Muslims
states are enemies. So deceiving western countries is acceptable. In fact it is
encouraged since deceiving can forward the goals of spread of Islam. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
During partition of Bengal numerous such incidences of
deceit took place. A Muslim was sheltered by a Hindu family to protect him in a
Hindu dominated area. In the night, the grateful Muslim massacred the entire
Hindu family and fled. Or a Muslim friend requested Hindu doctor to help him in
medical emergency and the doctor never came back. When force did not work,
deceit worked. The idea of deceit helped Islam to conquer more land and spread
Sharia in vast areas. </div>

land must be converted or liquidated. Sharia provides the help. </div>

Once Muslims conquer a country and convert the government to Islamic law, any
non-Muslims have the choice between becoming Muslim or becoming a dhimmi.
Dhimmis are allowed to practice their non-Muslim religion if they pay the jizya
(a tax). If they convert to Islam, they no longer have to pay the jizya, so
there is a practical incentive to convert.</div>

But another aspect of this makes it a brilliant
meme. The tax takes money away from the non-Muslims and their competing memedomes
and gives that money to support Islam. This is pure genius! The income from
these taxes (usually a 25% income tax) helped fund the Islamic conquests during
the first two major jihads. They conquered vast lands, most of them already
filled with Christians and Jews, many of whom did not convert at first, and
their jizya poured huge sums of money into the Islamic war machine. </div>

his witness is only half that of Muslim man. In a Muslim state the neighbour

Leaders of countries or companies or religions have all discovered that people
can be motivated if they are presented with an expansive vision. A goal for
future filled with scope of self-development. In the Islamic memedom, the goal
calls for a continuous effort to expand the domain of Islamic law until all the
world has submitted to Islam. In the process the followers are permitted to
keep the loot including women from the infidels. Many religions have the goal
of converting everyone, but Islam has a method available nobody else has: To
expand by seizing, looting and converting governments to Sharia.</div>

This memedom infected large number of followers who are
unable to think and are totally submissive to the ideas propagated by it. They
refuse to believe that earth is round and man has conquered moon. Theory of
evolution is not taught in any Muslim country. Muslims everywhere strongly
believes every word of Quran. Muslim women voluntarily wear Burkha and veil and
accept secondary role in family. Men will grow beard and wear short pyjama. All
sincerely try to confirm whether the animal is killed in Islamic way (A devout
Muslim should cut the throat of the animal in two and half short strokes such
that animal dies slowly due to loss of blood.) before partaking meat. All
Muslims try to imitate Arabic language, pray in Arabic, greet in Arabic and
keep Arabic names even though they may be having a great mother tongue. However
these practices do not harm others. These limiting actions only cripple the
mind of Muslims and they become members of group of ants or bees or robots. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Problem arises when this memedom claims that Islam is the
true religion and only religion. The Islamic robots believe that. Quran permits
killing of non-believers if they fail to convert. Quran also permit killing of
non-believers if he sincerely do not repent and convert. So the robot can kill
or convert entirely on his choice. Every Muslim robot believes in this
doctrine. If he is not killing it is because he is restrained by state, society
or individual’s power. But make no mistake, most Muslim will kill infidel if
had an opportunity. </div>

<b><u>REAL VICTIMS<o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The worst sufferers of Islamic memedom are the non-Muslims
residing in Islamic land. In fact many civilizations had perished. Buddhism and
Zoroastrianism vanished from the conquered area. Numerous minor religions also
withered. Christianity and Judaism somehow survived but followers became
pauper, insignificant and fearful. Extraction of Jiziya made them poor, sharia
rules deprived them citizenship rights, arms restriction resulted in
insecurity. But still there were no respite. Muslims attacked the hapless
minorities in waves after waves, raped their women and enslaved the young.
Continuous persecution converted the minorities into destitute slave like population.
Situation improved only after European renaissance and emergence of European
powers. But even that could not protect Armenian Christians in Turkey where
state and Muslim population carried out genocide, killing 2-5 million people in
1911 or massacre of entire indigenous people of Kafiristan in Afghanistan in 1895
or killing of Hindus in Mopala uprising of Kerala or now Christians and Yazidies
being killed by ISIS in Iraq. No minority was ever safe in Muslim land.
Minorities are persecuted, killed, raped looted till they ceased to exists.
Bangladesh is another example. Bangladesh was having 28% Hindu and 2% Buddhists
in 1947. Continuous harassment and repeated massacres pushed minority
population to shift to India. Hindu population in 2013 was recorded as 9% and
other minorities to 1%. Bangladesh Muslims are responsible for slaughter of at
least 30 million Hindus in 60 years period. Kashmiri Pandits were driven out of
their thousand year old abode, Kashmir and became refugee in their own country
which is a non-Muslim country. Muslims are violent, crime prone and vociferous.
They are difficult to handle even if they are only 10% of population. Because
Muslims stay concentrated and defy state in their pockets. That is what
happened in Kashmir. India has only 13% Muslim but a part of Kashmir had 90%
Muslim who drove out 10% Pandits without bothering about reaction in the
country. India did not protest. Indian Government did not have courage to take
action. Indian Government failed to assert its authority. It is not just
weakness of Hindus of India. Every people , every community and every nation
fails to deal with Muslim community because of their aggression and solidarity.

Islam is the name of most formidable memedom. It is also the
most dangerous. It will use up and consume human lives in the service of its
propagation, indifferent to the pain, misery, or death it causes. If Islam can
triumph and whole world accepts Sharia then human civilization will end. Islam
is so formidable that all will try to overdo others and human life will totally
controlled by this memedom. Dictatorship, however powerful lives its life and
someday or other it ends. Not so Islam. Once a people are taken over by Islamic
memedom, they remain under its influence for good. It has already consumed the
minds of one and a half billion people. None of them has the ability to think,
oppose or modify. Only one group fights with another group to establish
correctness of their variation. The variation may be very minor. Groups will
fight over the length of pyjama or history of Islam or may be sighting of moon.
This has already started.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Human civilization is actually is the real victim of Islam.
Muslims are enslaved by the dilapidated ideas of 7<sup>th</sup> century. There
is no way to escape. If some modern thinking Muslim tries to assert, some or
other devout Muslim will oppose them with religious memes to support. Modern
Muslim has to accept. Recently a Muslim cleric declared man has never reached
moon. All Muslim did accept that position. Muslim mind is actually shackled.
That is why 25% population of world contribute a big ZERO in progress of
humanity in science, literature and philosophy. Global warming or some
meteorite collision will not end human civilization. Human civilization will
end when Muslim will become majority in major countries. This is not an
impossible thing to happen. Muslims are breeding fast and developed nations
have zero population growth. There is slow but continuous inflow of Muslim
refugees to developed nations. These people are coming for economical reason,
political reason and humanitarian reason. A time will come these people will
take over power. One by one world’s nations will accept sharia. Once that
happens, it is death of humanity. </div>

<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Islam’s adherents believe Islam is the true religion.
All other religions are wrong. People of the book, meaning Christians and Jews
have deviated from true path of God. They should be brought back to true path
but in case they refuse then they may still be allowed (Choice is of
perpetrator’s) to practice their faith but must live under subjugation. Others
like infidels, idolaters or atheists must repent and convert otherwise must
die. Such is the perception of true religion. Apart from the fact that this
true religion is actually a concoction of Judaism, Christianity and prevalent
Arab traditions</span> in 6<sup>th</sup> century, <span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">prepared by an extremely intelligent person known as Mohammed,
the prophet. Naturally Islam has some basic contradictions. These
contradictions were never questioned because some of these contradictions were
there in Judaism and Christianity also. So they never question. Hindus are
introvert. They are simply not interested in Islam. And a Muslim has no right to
raise doubt about Quran and the Prophet. So these contradictions perpetuate. It
is now presented for interested people. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Islam declares there is only one God. In fact if you go
through Quran, you will find Quran spends maximum verses on this theme alone.
If you want to convert to Islam then also you have to proclaim there is no God
but Allah. But the fact is that there is at least one more God in Islam. A bad
God, a bad God with reduced power. Satan is very much present in every concept
of Islam. Satan is always trying to divert human mind away from God. So much so
that Satan could influence the great Prophet, Mohammed to recite four verses
which he later repudiated as satanic verses. Satan is present in the Judaism from
“Old Testament” time. It is the same Satan who advised Adam to eat fruit of
knowledge. The original sin was that of gaining consciousness of self which infuriated
God and resulted in banishment of Adam and Eve to Earth to start human
civilization. It is a matter of perception, who is bad, Allah or Satan? It may also
be perceived that Satan helped mankind to become conscious and civilized. Then
why Satan is bad and why God is good? At least Satan can be considered another
God, even if bad. Islam presents more than just one extra God, Satan. Quran
talks of large number of messengers and Houries. Gabriel is one of the messengers.
Though messengers are not supposed to have free will but they are definitely
creatures of Heaven. Similarly the Houries are present in Heaven to give sexual
pleasure to dead Muslim men (Alas, there is no similar arrangement for pious
Muslim women.) These innumerable Messengers and Houries are Heavenly creatures
and can be considered semi-God. Where is monotheism? In fact Islam has more
Gods than all Gods of all religions combined. Islamic heaven is overcrowded.
Possibly hell will be a better place to live.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Islam preaches that God is invisible and has no form.
Yet Muslims in annual rite, go and pray to a black stone in Kaba. This black
stone was worshiped by Arabs before advent of Islam and Mohammed. Mohammed allowed continuation of worshiping
of black stone to accommodate Arab sentiments. But he destroyed all surrounding
temples containing idols of innumerable Arab Gods. But if you allow one and
preach total and absolute ban on creation of any likeness of any living being
either by painting or sculpting then it is hypocrisy. Muslims destroyed all
arts work of all pre-Muslim civilisations in the land they controlled. Few
years back, Taliban destroyed Bamihan Buddhas in Afghanistan. This contradicts
with practice of worshiping black stone in Kaba.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Islam declares God is perfect. What God creates is
perfection itself. At the same time Muslim corrects God and calls them
Musolmani. Every Muslim male child goes through circumcision. Now if God has
given that foreskin on male organ then it must be for some reason. Circumcision
was practiced by Middle East population since long and Islam adopted it. Muslims
of some Arab and North African countries also practice female circumcision
which actually means cutting of clitoris. This is an inhuman practice. Luckily
all Muslims do not do this. But male circumcision is a must for a Muslim. This
is a big contradiction. On one hand you say that God is perfect but on the
other hand you correct God’s mistake. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Islam believes in equality in all
men. Or shall we say equality in all Muslims. Even that is not practiced or
even prophesied. Men and women are different. Blood money for a man is twice as
much than of a woman. In death man has a higher value. Witness value of a man
is twice that of a woman. A woman gets only half inheritance than that of man
in equal position. Then there is class
system. A Syed is always at higher ground because he is a descendant of
Mohammed. In India Ashrafs are
considered superior because of their foreign (Arab-Turk-Afgan) origin. Ajlaf
are of Indian descent. They are inferior. Arjal is dalit equivalent in Islam.
No Ashraf will have alliance with Ajlaf or Arjal. Ajlafs also despise Arjal. Of
course Non-Muslims falls under sub-human category. Muslims as such do not have
caste system. They practice slavery. Lowest of the low caste person is better
treated in Hindu society than a slave in Islam. Where is equality? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Barani, a Muslim theologian was
known for his intensely casteist views.
He regarded the Ashraf Muslims as racially superior to the Ajlaf Muslims. He
divided the Muslims into grades and sub-grades. In his scheme, all high
positions and privileges were to be a monopoly of the high born Turks, not the
Indian Muslims. Even in his interpretation of the Quranic verse "Indeed,
the pious amongst you are most honoured by Allah", he considered piety to
be associated with noble birth. Barani was specific in his recommendation that
the "sons of Mohammed" [i.e. Ashrafs] "be given a higher social
status than the low-born (i.e. Ajlaf). In addition to the Ashraf/Ajlaf divide,
there is also the Arzal caste among Muslims, who were known by their menial
activities as the equivalent of untouchables. The term "Arzal" stands
for "degraded" and the Arzal Muslims are those with whom no other Muslim
would associate, and who are forbidden to enter the mosque or to use the public
burial ground”. </div>

<u>Why slavery is permitted?<o:p></o:p></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Islam has double-speaking role
about slavery. Mohammed lists one of the reasons for collection of Zakat is for
paying and freeing slaves. But at the same time Mohammed himself took slaves
from defeated people. He himself converted freemen into slaves. Then he devised
Quranic verses allowing Muslim to usurp land and other property of defeated
community and take their women and children as slaves. Mohammed practiced
enslavement, especially for sex and for money. Muslims under his command would
sell off women and children taken captive in an engagement. They were also
taking ransom for returning captured women and children in case their husband
or father could escape and arrange money. That is why all terrorist groups of
today, indulge in ransom taking activities. Islam does talk of eradication of
slavery but also encourages acquiring slaves from non-believers and tells them
that it is their right. History of slave trade is also history of Muslim conquests
since advent of Islam. Only later colonialists picked up from Muslims and
practiced in large scale in new world. Still there was a difference. Colonialists
utilized slaves for farming and not for sex. A lot was written, spoken and
documented about the pitiable condition of the slaves. Finally, humanity
prevailed and American people themselves rose against slavery which never had
any religious sanction anyway. There was and is no such feeling in Islamic
world. Slavery was eradicated in civilised world two centuries ago but it is still
practiced in Islamic world due to sanction availability for it in Quran.</div>

Mohammed said “Go and seek
knowledge.” But Islam is against any kind of knowledge which is not in
conformity with Quran. Islam cannot accept evolution theory. The gospel of Adam
and Eve is the final story. Islam cannot accept theory of big bang. How earth and
other planets were created. It cannot match with God’s creation of Earth and
Heaven. Science does not need religion. Science is absolute truth. Mohammed
prescribed that casting any doubt in Quranic verses will be treated as apostasy
which is punishable by death. Muslims destroyed knowledge by destroying
temples, places of learning and people of learning and replaced them with Quran
and Quran and Quran. That is why even though Muslims comprise about 20% of
world’s population but their contribution in science and art is a big zero. If
there is any stray Muslim man of learning, he has to live dual life. A life of
religion separated from a life of knowledge. It is a contradiction difficult to
digest. </div>

of peace. This is a very big contradiction between saying and doing. The
history of Islam is written with blood. In twentieth century itself they
massacred 2 million Armenian Christians in a bid to change demography of old Anatolia.
Actually Hitler merely copied this but implemented more efficiently by
vanquishing 6 million Jews in 2<sup>nd</sup> world war. The same pattern was
repeated in Bangladesh. About 3 million Bengali Hindus were killed in a sixty
year period in Bangladesh. Bengali Hindus suffered silently and the crime got
washed away by the mighty rivers of Bengal as well as Hindu practice of burning
their dead. The Rohingya Muslims tried to annihilate Buddhists in their land of
Rahine county in Myanmar to establish a Muslim country. Rohingyas used the
weapons given to them by retreating British army for defending themselves
against Japanese army. Instead they attacked Buddhists. However Buddhists
defended themselves against Muslim onslaught and reciprocated. Now Rohigyas are
considered world’s most oppressed people. Even if they are oppressed, they are
oppressed because of their violent nature which stems from their religion,
Islam. These are not only cases of violence by Muslim in recent times. Actually
nobody is safe from Muslims including Muslims. Every day scores of people are
getting killed in Muslim countries including Arab states, North African
countries, Afghanistan and Pakistan.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Violence committed by Muslims in
the past cannot be described in a short space. Suffice it to say that there was
no secular Muslim ruler in the history of Muslim rule in India. Each of them
unleashed terror on Non-Muslim population whenever opportunity arose. Only
exception might be Shahenshah Akbar. But Akbar also ordered killing of 30,000
Hindu peasants after conquering Mewar. Still India is Hindu speaks volumes of
flexibility and courage of our ancestors. They survived six centuries till
Europeans came. North Africa, Persia, Egypt and so many countries could not
withstand Muslim aggression. The original inhabitants of these countries vanished
against liquidation. Most of these places are now inhabited by Arabs or mixed
descendant of Arabs. Just one hundred and twenty years back (1895) all
inhabitants of Kafiristan in Afghanistan was massacred and the place was
renamed as Gulistan. The people of Kafiristan followed ancient Vedic religion
of idol worshiping. Nobody remembers them now because they do not exist.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Islam is not a peaceful religion.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Islam is a concocted religion
where there are many contradictions. Unfortunately these contradictions cannot
be annulled as Quran cannot be modified. Therefore Islam is doomed to remain a
6<sup>th</sup> century religion with contradictions. Its adherents will fall behind and the doctrine itself will die naturally with spread of education and awareness.</div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">Jihad is a duty for a faithful Muslim. It means war
against untruth. The problem is with the definition of untruth. For a Muslim
Islam is true path to worship God. All other religions are categorized between
religions deviated from true path, of idol worshipers, of devil’s worshipers and atheists. Quran repeatedly declares that all people who did not follow true
path will be punished by God in hell and it is pious duty of every Muslim to
bring people to true path i.e. Islam to save them from hellish afterlife. But Quran
suggests force rather than convincing to bring people to Islam. And not
satisfied with God’s prerogative of giving punishment in afterlife, Muslims are
advised to meet out punishment to unbelievers in this world itself. Quran
advises true Muslims to catch and kill infidels and establish a kingdom of faithfuls.
This is Jihad. Jihad should be continued till whole earth is under control of
Muslims and all human beings are converted to Islam. History is proof that
Muslim followed Quran and carried out Jihad against unsuspecting, friendly and
peaceful communities. Jihad was stopped only when another religious group or
otherwise mustered strength and oppose Islamic army by application of force.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">In today’s world, war is not acceptable. Muslims
cannot carry out Jihad in a Non-Muslim country. They can do it in a country
where they are in majority and control political power. Everybody knows how a
non-Muslim treated in a Muslim country. Blasphemy law and right to carry out Jihad
make life of a non-Muslim in Muslim country worse than a slave. Even Muslims
are not spared. Purification of faith by killing those who indicates any show
of moderation is every day incidence. Jihad is a continuous process in a Muslim
country even after achieving 100% Muslim population. This Jihad is a violent Jihad
and results in slow annihilation of differing faiths and finally moderate
opinions or lifestyle. But in a non-Muslim country Jihad takes a different
shape. There stress is given to capturing power. Power can be grabbed by
majority vote in a democracy. So Muslims in a non-Muslim country adopts
breeding as a method of Jihad. India is subjected to population Jihad. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">In the first ever census in India, Muslim population
was found to be about 18%, largely concentrated in the North-West of India and
present day Bangladesh. Muslim population steadily grew in British period. In
1941, undivided India had 25% Muslim population. This increase is totally due
to population growth by breeding. There was practically no conversion during
British period. Muslims of India wanted separate homeland and secured Pakistan.
But after partition a large proportion of Muslims stayed back in India. In the
first census of independent India in 1951 Muslims were only 8% of total population.
Even though Pakistan and Bangladesh treated their Hindu minority very badly and
slowly drove them away, Muslims in India were never treated as aliens. Muslims
are not only safe but privileged citizen in India. The result can be seen from increasing
population of Muslims. Muslim population has ever since growing in alarming
rate. In 2011, Muslim population in India was 13 %. A 60% increase over a base
of 8% in 60 years. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Now Muslim population of undivided India that is of
India, Pakistan and Bangladesh combined is considered. It is a staggering 35%
in 2011 A.D. from 18% in 1901. Muslims could have become majority in undivided
India by twenty-second century. Partition has actually saved us from becoming
minority and then slow annihilation. But partition has only delayed not
eliminated that possibility. Growth of Muslim population if remained unchecked
will overtake Hindu and other population by a couple of centuries i.e. by
twenty-third century. At present, we are safe but our children are not. It is
our duty to make India safe for Indians for at least a millennium. India should
remain secular and home for all including Hindus. India will remain secular and
peaceful only if Muslim population is kept under check. It should never cross
10% of population. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
The reasons of growing Muslim population are actually two :-</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
• Rejection
of family-planning measures by the Muslims;</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
• Uncontrolled
influx of illegal Bangladeshi Muslim infiltrators through the porous
Indo-Bangladesh border; and,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Illegal Bangladeshi intruders are not affecting West Bengal
alone, but are also fast altering the demography of the neighbouring states of
Bihar and Assam. According to an estimate nearly 30 million Bangladeshi Muslims
have entered West Bengal, Bihar and Assam. As a result, three bordering
districts of Bihar, namely Kishanganj, Araria and Katihar, and seven districts
of Assam, namely Dhubri, Goalpara, Barpeta, Naogaon, Morigaon, Hailakandi and
Karimganj, and several districts of West
Bengal have turned into Muslim-majority districts. If these Bangladeshi Muslims
can be sent back to Bangladesh, then Muslim population may come back to a
manageable 10% level.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Population Jihad has reached a decisive stage in West
Bengal. It is a result of a blunder committed in 1947. Total population
transfer had taken place in West Pakistan. Almost 10 million Hindus and Sikhs
fled to India and about same number of Muslims took refuge in Pakistan. But in
Bangladesh, which was then East Pakistan population transfer did not take
place. Only about 5 million Hindus shifted in 1947 while only about a million
Muslims went to East Pakistan. This left behind a large Hindu population in
East Pakistan and vice versa. In 1951, East Pakistan had 25% Hindu population
while West Bengal had 19% Muslim population. It was an incomplete job.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A minority in a Muslim country has no rights over his life,
property and dignity. East Pakistan once
again proved that. Repeated state
sponsored riots and massacres slowly drove Hindus away from their ancestral
home. Over last sixty years 3 million Hindus were murdered in present day
Bangladesh and unknown number of women were raped or abducted and forced
converted. These violent persecutions
drove away 30 million Hindu and
Buddhists. Most took shelter in West Bengal. But no harm came to the lives of
Muslims in West Bengal. In fact Muslim population started growing in West
Bengal. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is a paradox of a situation. In Bangladesh Hindu
population dropped from 30% to 25% in 1951, then to 20% in 1961 and finally to
9% in 2011. But Hindu population was also dropping in West Bengal despite
influx of large number of Hindu persecuted refugees. Hindu population declined
in West Bengal from 80% to 70 % in sixty years. It is beyond any logic but if
you look around reason will show by itself. The reason is combined effect of
population explosion in Bangladesh and subsequent Illegal migration of Muslim
population from Bangladesh for better economic life in India. But why?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hindus were more prosperous in present day Bangladesh. In
fact they owned lion’s share of land and other property including industry in
Bangladesh. Hindus were also leader of the Bengali society economically, culturally
and politically. Subsequent to partition, Bengali Muslim suddenly became rich
by looting land and property of Hindus but had no direction. West Pakistani
Muslims filled the void but could not direct Bangladesh to prosperity. The only
easy thing uneducated devout Bengali Muslim with surplus land could do was
breeding. This led to a population explosion in Bangladesh. Excessive
population growth ate away all the advantages of ill-gotten riches. Bangladeshi
Muslims became poor again. Bangladesh acquired the dubious name of
“International bread basket”. Thereafter the surplus population started migrating
to India. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Apart from infiltration, Muslim population of West Bengal is
also rising because of higher rate of breeding by Muslims in West Bengal also.
This is evident from 2001 census where percentage of total population as well
as percentage of 0-6 year old children is given. There is a clear cut 3-4% jump
in children age group. Another twenty years these children will replace
elderlies. This indicates Muslim population is growing by about 4 % every 20
years. This is elaborated in case of
West Bengal districts. But it is true for all India. </div>

Higher breeding and infiltration together will make West
Bengal a Muslim majority state sooner than later. It is needless to say that,
as soon as the Muslim population would rise to 40% or so by 2050 or sooner, it
would be difficult for the Hindus to live in peace in the state. In the
districts of West Bengal, bordering Islamic Bangladesh, where Muslims have gained
majority, violence against Hindus have already begun. It is becoming, day by
day, difficult for the Hindus to live peacefully in those <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>areas.
Their life and property are becoming unsafe. Forceful eviction of the Hindus,
looting their properties, raping and molestation of their women folk are
becoming a daily occurrences.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Such incidents are not confined to the border districts
alone, but also in isolated pockets of other districts, where Muslims may have
gained majority. In the districts of North and South 24 Parganas, there are
many such pockets where the Muslims have unleashed their jihadi activities
against the Hindus. Soon Muslims will
claim another partition of Bengal, demanding the land on the eastern side of
River Hooghly as an Islamic state or a part of greater Bangladesh. In such a
situation, there will remain two options before the Hindus of Bengal: either to
accept Islam or to become refugee again and flee their homes to other parts of
India to save their lives, dignity and religious faith.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It should be pointed
out here that the swelling of Muslim population is not confined to West Bengal
and Assam alone, but is an all-India affair. Table 3 shows how the Hindu
populations are declining and Muslim populations rising throughout India. If
continue unchecked, entire India may turn into a Muslim-dominant country in 5
to 6 decades. So, what the 800-year Muslim rule could not achieve with the help
of sword would be achieved simply through unrestrained breeding, i.e. using the
wombs of Muslim women as the weapon. Table 4 presents the state-wise Muslim
populations of India. Table 5, below, shows the state-wise increase of Muslim
and Hindu populations during the decade 1991-2001.</div>

India had always sheltered distressed people of the world.
Persecuted Jews & Parsees received refuge here. Christianity was first
propagated in India by Saint Thomas within few years of Jesus’ Crucification. Early
Christians stayed with local Hindu population for two thousand years without
conflict. Hundreds of new religions and sects have evolved in this land.
Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism are major religions but there are many other
religions which sustain their existence from this pious land. In India all
people have lived peacefully irrespective of their religious belief from time
immemorial. This peace was devastated by Islam which does not believe in
co-existence. Islam only pushes its frontiers continuously by all possible
methods and stops at destruction of all dissents. It is a religion of Satan, if
there is one. For the survival of humanity, for the survival of free thinking
and for the survival of democracy Muslim population must be contained. It is
for the benefit of humanity as well as for the Muslims themselves as Muslims
suffer the most in a Muslim country. This is being played out in the open in so
many Muslim countries. We need to take lesson.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Islam is not just a religion nor is it a cult. It is a complete
system. It is an all-encompassing totalitarian system. Once you are in an
Islamic state, you can never ever see the light of freedom. Your children or
grandchildren will also not see freedom. Fascism has ended. Communism saw its
end. All great dictators ultimately fail to continue rule by iron hand
resulting in emancipation of its subjects. You can expect freedom sometime in
any autocratic society. There will certainly be an end to all autocracy one
day. Not so in Islam. Islam is a
perpetual dictatorship. Nobody can escape from its clutch. Muslims are creator
and victim of Islamic system but non-Muslims are the real sufferers who lose even
self-esteem.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One need not feel happy that we are not living in an Islamic
country. That may be true. But the reprieve is for time being only. Islam is
ever expanding system and it is going to take over our land and our people in a
century or two. We may remain a freeman today but our children or grandchildren
may not be remaining free in time to come.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Islam has religious, legal, political, economic and military
components. The religious component is a mask for all the other components. Initially
Islam presents itself only as a religious group with a right to preach. Nothing
appears wrong. As long as Muslim population is about 1%, Muslims are considered
peace loving community. Their only demand will be right to prayer, right to
wear religious symbols like Hizab for women or skull cap for men. They will
remain politely segregated and would not participate in the affairs of the
country or society. General population may not notice them and would not
consider them a threat. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films,
stereotyped for their colourful uniqueness. Some of the countries are listed
here which has about 1-2 % Muslim population.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
United States -- Muslim 1.0%</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Australia -- Muslim 1.5%</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Canada -- Muslim 1.9%</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
China -- Muslim 1%-2%</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Italy -- Muslim 1.5%</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Norway -- Muslim 1.8%</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At this time, politically correct and culturally diverse
societies agree to 'the reasonable' Muslim demands for their religious rights,
but Muslims also get the other components under the table. Muslims will start
Islamic schools at home (Madrasa) and start showering young generation with
Islamic intolerance to other religion and Taqiyya i.e. pretentious behaviour of
tolerance when in minority or in distress. These teachings itself motivates
young Muslim boys and girls to join militant groups in their country of
adoption or in native Muslim country.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As the population grows restlessness grows. At 2% and 3% Muslims
begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups with
major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs. It has already began in
the following countries. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Denmark -- Muslim 2%</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Germany -- Muslim 3.7%</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
United Kingdom -- Muslim 2.7%</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Spain -- Muslim 4%</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thailand -- Muslim 4.6%</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
From about 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in
proportion to their percentage of the population. They will push for the
introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food
preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains
to feature it on their shelves -- along with threats for failure to comply. At
this time Muslims will start living in exclusive ghettos where non- Muslims
will fear to tread. Crime in and around these ghettoes will increase.
Especially crime against women will shoot up. In fact Muslims figure disproportionately
in crimes in general and sexual assault to women in particular. Muslims
particularly attack women from other religious groups. One need not give any
example for these. Name of the countries where Muslim population is more than 5%
will suffice.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
France -- Muslim 8%</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Philippines -- Muslim 5%</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sweden -- Muslim 5%</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Switzerland -- Muslim 4.3%</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Netherlands -- Muslim 5.5%</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Trinidad &Tobago -- Muslim 5.8%</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When Muslims reach 10% of the population, lawlessness will
increase. Muslims as a group try to assert and demand Sharia (Islamic law) for
them. Muslim really has no respect for rule of their adopted country. They will
press for Sharia. They will continually try to improve their combined status by
resorting to violent agitation (Paris --car-burning). Any non-Muslim action
that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats (Amsterdam - Mohammed
cartoons). Any country will find it tough to handle Muslim minority once they
reach 10%. Appeasement of Muslims is not only India’s political compulsion; it
is followed by all democratic countries.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Guyana -- Muslim 10%</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
India -- Muslim 13.4%</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Israel -- Muslim 16%</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Kenya -- Muslim 10%</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Russia -- Muslim 10-15%</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It becomes impossible when Muslim population reach 20%. One
can expect riots, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings and burning of other
religious places. Partition of India may be remembered. Innocent Hindus and
Sikhs were massacred in Muslim dominated West Pakistan. It could be controlled
only by reverse violence in India. British Indian army totally failed as they
were not equipped to handle entire Muslim population. Boko Haram, a jihadi
group, is carrying out genocide of Christian population in Ethiopia. Boko Haram
is also attacking and killing people from neighbouring countries. Please
remember first modern day genocide. It was not Hitler. It was carried out by
Turkish state with the help of Muslim population. Two million Armenian
Christians were killed in matter of days.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
India (Pre-partition) -- Muslim 25%</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ethiopia -- Muslim 32.8%</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At 40% you will find widespread massacres, chronic terror
attacks and militia warfare:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Bosnia -- Muslim 40%</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Chad -- Muslim 53.1%</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lebanon -- Muslim 59.7%</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
From 50% onward non-Muslim have no chance? 50% will soon become 60% and 60% will become
70% and so on and so forth. Finally it will be 100% Muslim country. The
transition from 50% to 100% is very painful. Persecution of non-believers takes
many forms. Use of Sharia law, especially blasphemy rule create fear of life in
the heart of every non- Muslim. Any Muslim can put any non-Muslim behind bar
and put to gallows. Muslims have unlimited right to abduct infidel women. Sexual
assaults of women from other religion go unpunished. Jizya, the tax placed on infidels breaks the
non-believers economically. Sharia, blasphemy law, Jiziya will be complimented
by ethnic cleansing by state with support from entire Muslim population. Slowly
non-believers vanish and Muslim country becomes 100% Muslim.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Albania -- Muslim 70%</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
100% Muslim population with Sharia rule will usher the peace
of “Dar-al-Islam” -- the Islamic House of Peace – as Quran suggests there will
be peace because everybody is a Muslim:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Afghanistan -- Muslim 100%</div>

Yemen -- Muslim 99.9%</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Palestine -- Muslim 99%</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Of course, it does not happen. There are different variants
of Islam and each of them consider only they are correct and therefore, all
others are non-believers. So the violence continues. As long as Islam exists,
differences will remain and blood will flow. Afghanistan, Middle East,
Palestine, Ethiopia and Yemen are good examples.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
'Before I was nine I had learned the basic canon of Arab
life. It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my
family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; and the
tribe against the other tribe and all of us against the infidel. - Leon Uris.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Islam converts its followers into robots whose every action
is determined by 6<sup>th</sup> century practices which are codified in Quran.
Muslims cannot understand freedom of thought, freedom of expression and
democracy. Muslims feel pride in killing. In fact, a Muslim is called Gazi when
he kills a non-believer as he is called Hazi when he performs Haz. But still
Muslims are the ultimate sufferer of Islamic tenets. When a human being stops
thinking and follows a book written in 6<sup>th</sup> century to the letter,
they are no longer human. All of us should feel pity for Muslims and try to educate
them to emancipation. </div>

As per Islamic history, Mohammed received
his first message from God in the year 610 AD. He started preaching Islam in
Mecca in the year 613 A.D., three years after 1st message. Next nine years he strived
to convince Meccans and other Arab tribes to accept Islam by reasoning and his conviction.
But very few persons adopted Islam. Even Abu Talib, his uncle and leader of
Banu Hashim tribe who gave safety protection to Mohammed did not convert to
Islam. Death of Abu Talib and accession
of Abu Lahab to the position of leader of the Banu Hashim tribe in 619 A.D put
Mohammed in unenviable condition. Abu Lahab was sworn enemy of Mohammed. He withdrew
safety cover of Mohammed. So Mohammed was in physical danger for his life. He decided
to shift to a safer place. A small Muslim community invited Mohammed to Medina.
Mohammed first asked all Meccan Muslims to go to Medina. Then Mohammed also
left Mecca under cover of night with Abu Bakr in the year 622 A.D. In Medina,
newly arrived Muslims had no profession. They had no property. They had only
support of a small group of Medinan Muslims. Mohammed was forced to start looting
of Meccan caravans. He succeeded. Meccan attempts to defeat Mohammed did not
bear fruit. Rather success after success brought prestige to the fledgling Muslim
community. He also started attacking other tribes and Jewish settlements for reward
and propagation of Islam. Some people joined Muslim fraternity for physical
benefit and some were forced to convert after defeat. Mohammed realised what
reasoning could not do, double application of force and reward in this life and
promising heaven for believers who fight for Islam while hellfire for
non-believers in afterlife, can achieve. Mohammed had started walking on the
path of violence and never looked back.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u>Islam was propagated by strength of sword.<o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In the history of mankind, Islam
came as a change. The new religion was violent in nature. Never before, force
was openly recommended for religious conversion. Never before, a religious man (Prophet
Mohammed) led a band of armed men to loot and plunder. Never before a prophet
ordered execution of unarmed opponents after defeating and capturing them.
Never before a prophet joined ranks in raping women from a conquered community.
Mohammed not only led from front, he took share of the loot, order execution of
defeated men and personally rape women who lost their husbands or parents hours
before. Buddha to Jesus did not preach or practice violence. They preached peace,
non-violence and opposed greed and lust for others property or women. Islam is
just the opposite.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Mohammed could manage only handful
of followers during first nine years of self-declared prophet hood in Mecca
where he used to preach Islam through reasoning and conviction. Meccan people
did not like even that. Mohammed and his handful of followers had to leave
Mecca in 622 AD for Medina. Mohammed and the early Muslims did not have any
source of income in Medina. They took up looting of caravans passing through Medina.
Local tribes started joining the band for material benefits. Mohammed’s band
became powerful and waged war on other tribes residing in and around. Muslims
under Mohammed managed to win most of these encounters and resorted to looting,
killing and enslavement. Some were allowed to convert and join. In next ten years Mohammed became a feared
person with several thousand followers. So when Mohammed returned Mecca with
ten thousand jihadis, the city surrendered without a fight. He converted all in Mecca as an option to
avoid death except those whom he thought could be his competitors. This was the
beginning. Very quickly Arabian Peninsula was conquered and converted. Any
resistance was crushed brutally. Men were slaughtered and women and children
were enslaved. Only alternative was acceptance of Islam. Of course, it was not
difficult for Arabs to convert as Islam is truly a religion meant for Arab. Quran
is written in Arabic. Kaba in Mecca is centre of the Islamic faith like it was
certre of earlier pagan faiths of Arabia. All social practices in 6<sup>th</sup>
century Arab were adopted including practice of slavery. Some social practices
of Arabs were moderated. Number of wives that a Muslim man can keep was limited
to four though Mohammed himself had eleven at one time (with God’s approval of
course). But basic concept of violence of the then Arabic society was retained.
Violence was however diverted to opponents. A Muslim can attack and kill, loot
and enslave a Non- Muslim. In the process if he dies, he is awarded virgin
Houries by God in heaven. If he wins earthly women of the defeated community
are his property along with everything that they possessed. Arabia got united
under the banner of Islam. United Arab used its full force on the neighbouring
societies, communities and nations. After death of Mohammed, Muslim army,
mainly Arabs spread out under the leadership of caliphs. Within 100 years
Muslim forces captured Central Asia, Middle East, and North Africa, Sicily,
Iberian Peninsula (Spain & Portugal) and border regions of India and China.
Occupation followed by loot, mass killing, enslavement and conversion. All
these regions are Muslim today. Islam also encouraged adoption of Arab
language. Together with encouragement of Arabic, victors (Arabs) settling down
in conquered land, most of the region also undergone Arabization. Egypt, Palestein and North African countries
are Arab today. Ancient people had simply vanished. Iran and Turkey adopted
Islam but maintained their identity. Only Sicily & Iberian Peninsula could
avoid conversion by reverse application of force. Christian forces liberated
Sicily and Iberian Peninsula from Muslim occupation.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Islam made a unique combination
of state and religion. In the beginning, Mohammed and initial Caliphs had
absolute authority of both state and religion. Slowly Muslim state became too
large to govern resulting in independent kingdoms. However, all Muslim states
used to accept the supreme authority of Caliphs. Though influence of Caliph
reduced over time, no Muslim ruler could function without influence of some or
other Muslim religious men. These religious men followed path shown by Mohammed
and considered looting, killing and raping persons of different faith are in
order. Conversion by force thereafter became an accepted norm for Islam. They
would guide rulers to kill, maim or torture men and rape women to press conversion.
These men of religion were demons to non-Muslims. They were revered by Muslims
for they bestowed riches earned from loot of others. Many Dargas of Sufi saints
are frequented by Hindus who do not know that their ancestors were mercilessly tortured,
killed or converted at the instance of the same person.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Sultan of Kashmir forcibly
converted Hindus to Islam and massacred on refusal, writes Hasan, a Muslim
chronicler. Sultan was praised as Gaji for he had slain thousands of idolaters.
Hasan further observes, "And <span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Sikandarpora
(a city laid out by Sultan Sikandar) was laid out on the debris of the
destroyed temples of the Hindus. In the neighbourhood of the royal palaces in
Sikandarpora, the Sultan destroyed the temples of Maha-Shri built by Praversena
and another by Tarapada. The material from these was used for constructing a
'Jami' mosque in the middle of the city."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

his forty disciples settled down in Ajmer. This city was completely alien to
Islam; no Muslims lived within the city. Raj Prithviraj was the local king. He
not only permitted establishment of khanqah by Khwaja Moinudeen Chishti but
also allowed preaching. Very soon Khwaja changed the entire civic
atmosphere. The locals were attracted by
his magic. They flocked to him for miracles. He started conversion. King
opposed and warned him. Khwaja Moinudeen Chishti then invited Sultan
Shahabuddin, and instructed him to capture the raja alive and his kingdom taken
over. The raja was defeated and captured alive and brought to Khwaja who
ordered him executed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

and reached India in 1300. In Ajmer, he met the Sufi mystic Kwaja Moinuddin Chisty.
He also met with NizamUddin Awlia (1236-1325), a prominent Sufi, in Delhi.
Nizamuddin requested him to go to Sylhet to rescue Sheikh Burhanuddin. The
Sheikh had a handful of Muslims living in the kingdom of a Hindu King, Gaur
Govindha. He secretly slaughtered a cow to perform his son's christening. It is
said that a crow carried a piece of meat and dropped it in the king's yard. The
enraged king ordered killing of the Sheikh's son and the Sheikh himself was
imprisoned. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Shah
Jalal reached Sylhet with 360 followers. Knowing that Shah Jalal was advancing
toward Sylhet, the king removed all ferry boats from the river Surma. Muslim
forces were defeated by the king twice earlier. But in this third battle king
was defeated by the force led by Shah Jalal with local help. Poet Hazrat Amir
Khosru wrote that warrior-disciples of Shah Jalal had no means of subsistence,
except the booty. They used to attack, kill and loot unsuspecting villagers to
sustain themselves. In fact, reference
to his having made “a portion for everybody” suggests that sort of behavior
befitting a tribal chieftain. Shah Jalal and his cohorts settled down by
marrying local women subsequently. Local women might be those who were captured
or looted.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Islam also adopted fraud as a
means of conversion. Islam says if the intent is right then deceit in the
process to achieve the intent is justified. Conversion in the eyes of Islam is
right intent. Therefore all kind of fraud is allowed. In 2014, a group of
Christians in an Indonesian island were offered food in lieu of stating
something in Arabic. After meal, they were told that they are all converted.
These Christians lodged a case of fraud against the perpetrators in a religious
court. Verdict is only one. As per Muslim law stating Sahada completes conversion.
Once converted, nobody can renounce Islam as that will be apostasy, punishable
by death. If it can happen in 21<sup>st</sup> century, why it could not happened
in preceding centuries. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Pir Ali Khan, governor of Jessore in Bengal, asked
Purusottam Thakur his courtesan whether smelling of food is considered half
eating in Hindu Shashtra. When Purusottam
Thakur replied in affirmative (GranenongArdhabhojonam), Pir Ali ordered to bring cooked beef and
forced him and his brother to smell it. Then Pir Ali told them that now you
have taken beef and lost your Brahmin status. Both brothers were then converted
by force. Other brothers of Purushottam Thakur fled fearing conversion.
Descendants of this Hindu branch of the family were known as Pirali Brahmin and
had a low status. Rabindranath Thakur was the most well-known Pirali Brahmin. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
A group of Brahmin in the west
coast were tricked into believing that Mohammed is Kalki Avatar, the last
incarnation of Vishnu, which is predicted in Vishnu-puran and that Islam is
actually new Vaishnavism. The entire community converted. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Once Mohammed tried to convert
one Arabian tribe who had already embraced Christianity. He reasoned with them
in a meeting. No agreement could be reached on first day. The second day
Mohammed came back with a story of a dream where God has ordained him to inform
the community leaders that they ought to convert. Community leaders converted.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Sufi saint Allauddin visited
court of Arakan king. He was offered a glass of poisonous drink. He drank the
entire content. Nothing happened. Entire court got converted seeing the
miracle. It is so easy to understand that Allauddin could manipulate somebody
in court to replace the poison. This single magic is said to be the reason of
conversion of nobility of Arakan state. Similar stories are many in history of
rural Bengal.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>Constant persecution<o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Third and by far the strongest
reason for conversion was constant persecution of non-Muslim in Muslim occupied
land. Mohammed advised tolerance to the people of books, meaning Christians and
Jews. These people were allowed to practice their religion in Muslim land. But
they had to live in subjugation and without any outward show of affluence. In
addition they must pay a punishing tax, called Jijiya. After conquering South
Asia, Hindus were also treated as people from books and were tolerated in lieu
of Jijiya tax for protection. In addition Hindus were to also pay pilgrimage
tax in India. These taxes were a constant financial burden to all non-Muslims.
Non-Muslims also could not give witness against any Muslim. They could not show
any kind of opulence, build any conspicuous structure, gather in large number
or show any religious symbol. Further, any Muslim could anytime usurp all
property and loot the women of the house of Hindus. This was an unbearable
pressure and continued for generations. Some people embraced conversion to
escape persecution. Even today, a Muslim can forcibly take away a non-Muslim
girl, convert her and marry in Pakistan or Bangladesh or in any Muslim country.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
There were some Incentives to
become a convert. Only Muslims were appointed to higher posts. Muslims were
granted free land to farm. Muslims were also entitled for assistances from state
or Muslim Waqf body which is a trust for and by Muslims under ruler’s
supervision.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Apart from getting freedom from persecution
a new convert is presented with favours from court and society. It has resulted
in many conversions.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>Lure of sex<o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Role of sex in propagation of
Islam is less appreciated. Islam promotes male domination and considering that
it is a religion conceptualised in sixth century it is hardly surprising. But
the extent of male domination is such that Islam attracted criminality. Mohammed
solemnized his marriage with Ayesha when she was six years old and consummated when
she was barely nine years old. He had eleven wives at one time and all other
Muslims are allowed four at a time. Furthermore, Muslims are allowed to have
sex with slave girls whom they capture in battle or purchase from market. These sex slaves are not counted as wives. Mohammed
had several over and above platoon of wives. He had a son from one such slave
woman. No religion will permit such acts. Islam does. Therefore we find, Boko
Haram, a fundamentalist organisation of Nigeria captured 250 girls from a
residential school in June, 2014 and declared their intention of using them as
sex slaves or selling them to sex trade. They claim that they are following
Islamic tradition. Today, people get converted for marrying second time when
divorce from the first is not coming, since Islam allows four marriages. It is
easy to visualize that conversion to Islam could be easy way out in the past also
to regularise unlawful possession of married woman. Mohammed set an example by
taking lead to rape conquered women, sometime within a few hours of slaying
their husbands and children. May be this type of moral turpitude was not uncommon
among men of sixth century. But such acts were not given religious sanction
anywhere. Certainly holy men did not indulge in such heinous acts. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Moreover Islam talks of Houries
in the after world. If a Muslim dies in the act of holy war he becomes a martyr
and goes straight to Heaven. There he is served by beautiful virgin women. These
women regain virginity every morning to give pleasure to Muslim men everyday in
afterlife. So Islam promises you sex all the way. If you win you capture women and
if you die God sanctions you virgin houries. Lure of sex makes Islam a
different religion.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>Concept of equality<o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Islam is also very attractive
because of its concept of equality of all men. From time immemorial all great
men tried to bring equality. Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism and Jainism also preach
equality of all men. Hindus were attracted to Buddhism and Jainism due to
equality in the early years of the 1<sup>st </sup>millennium. But they
reconverted back to Hinduism by seventh century to reap the benefits of caste
system. Caste system is based on social position and livelihood and helped
people to get identity and occupation. All could practice their specific trade
without fear. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Equality in Islam is false
equality. Muslim and non-Muslim are not considered equal. Man and Woman are not
equal in Islamic view. Also there is inequality among Muslim men. There is
Ashraf and Ajlaaf. Indian Muslims of foreign descents are considered superior
and are known as Ashraf. Among Ashrafs Syeds are at the top. Syeds are supposed
to be descendant of Mohammed from Fatima. Then come Sheiks who are of Arab
descent. It follows by Turks, Pathans, Mugals and Upper caste Hindu
converts. Ajraaf are converted Muslims from
artisan castes of Indian origin. Of course there are Dalit Muslim too. Arzaals
do scavenger job among Muslims. Muslims consider that Arabic is the chosen
language of God. Therefore an Arab Muslim is definitely more equal than others.
Anybody who loves his mother tongue will hate to accept such position. Different
sects of Islam also consider other sects as non-Muslim and heretics, killing
the spirit of equality.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
However, equality of Islam was
projected to attract low castes converts in India. It now cannot be denied that equality of all
men in Islam attracted many followers. Bengali farmers were possibly attracted
due to the spirit of equality. Similarly low castes of Hindu population
converted to Islam everywhere in India. However their social position did not
change after conversion. They are now categorised as Ajlaf/Arzal in addition to
their Hindu caste. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The concept of equality in Islam,
however, was absorbed in Hinduism and propagated through great saints of Bhakti
movement. Guru Nanak, Kabir, Haridas, Chaitanya, Rahim, Surdas to name a few
preached equality of all beings. During British period also Brahmo Samaj and
Arya Samaj preached equality of all men and women. Great Bengali poet Badu
Chandidas declared supremacy of humanity
alone.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>Breeding<o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Islam is also propagated and now
getting propagated by simple high rate of breeding. Islam does not believe in
family planning. It encourages more children. Actually Islam treats women as
object of pleasure and child bearing machine. The idea was required to supply
large number of men to fight wars in sixth century. Today, uncontrolled
population explosion may be suicidal for a country with limited means. But it
can change demographic proportion of a mixed country. High rate of breeding can
make Muslim from less than forty per cent to majority in one generation. In a
country like India population war is under progress which can be won in a century
or two. Muslim cleric promotes breeding. They know that growth of twentieth
century Islam is by breeding.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In 1872 Bengal had 52% Hindu but
in 1947 Muslims constituted a majority of 53%. Today Bengali speaking
population of the world is about 300 million, 70% of Muslim faith. This
population gain is not by conversion. It is by breeding. It is also being
helped by educated Hindus who have adopted single child family. </div>

<b>14.<u> CONVERSION FROM ISLAM IS APOSTASY</u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">A Muslim cannot convert. If a Muslim decides to
adopt another religion or even denounce Islam, he is committing apostasy.
According to Islamic rule an apostate can be given only one punishment, death. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">The <b>Ridda wars,</b> also known as the <b>Wars
of Apostasy</b>, were a series of military campaigns launched by the </span>Caliph
Abu Bakr<span lang="EN-US"> against rebel Arabian
tribes during 632 and 633 AD, just after death of Mohammed. Tulayha, </span>Musaylima
and <span lang="EN-US">Sajjah claimed prophet-hood
after death of Mohammed. A large number of Arab tribes gathered around them. Some
other tribes claimed that Mohammed was the prophet of God and they accepted him
as so but owed nothing to Abu Bakr. They refused to pay zakat to Abu Bakr.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Abu Bakr dealt with apostasy squarely. He was a
genius general. He used intelligence to good effect. He created rift between tribes
opposing to him. He even bribed some to support him. Finally he formed 11 corps.
Each group was given the following instructions:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<ol start="1" style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">Seek
the tribes.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">Call
the </span>Azaan.<span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">If
the tribe answers with the Azaan, do not attack. After the Azaan, ask the
tribe to confirm its submission, including the payment of zakat. <o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">Those
who submit will not be attacked.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">Those
who do not answer with the Azaan, or after the Azaan do not confirm full
submission, will be dealt with by the sword.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">All
apostates who have killed Muslims will be killed. Rest will be readmitted.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
</ol>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">With these instructions Abu Bakr launched the
forces of Islam against the apostates. Slowly within ten months apostasy was
defeated through a series of campaigns. All those resisted were killed. All
those who killed a Muslim or suspected to have killed were not spared. All
those who did not submit to Islam were also killed. Whole of Arab was unified under
Abu Bakr. To achieve this unity violence with tact was used. The result was
also violent. A slave killed Abu Bakr next year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">During lifetime of Mohammed, apostasy was not
tolerated. Muslims once accepted that there is no God but Allah and Mohammed is
his messenger and the last prophet, had no option but to follow what Allah’s
messenger ordains. Two Arabs took shelter at Medina and accepted Islam. But after
going back, they renounced Islam. Mohammed ordered them to be captured and
punished them. Their hands and legs were cut off, eyes gauged off and thrown
out in sand for dying. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">During last fourteen hundred years apostasy was
not tolerated. Once a Muslim is always a Muslim. A child born to a Muslim father
is a born Muslim. In 2014, a Christian woman in Sudan was sentenced to death as
her father was a Muslim and she ought to be a Muslim. The woman was brought up
as Christian by her Christian mother after her father died early. When
challenged she refused to convert to Islam. The matter has attracted
international condemnation and possibly she and her family was allowed to immigrate
to some western country. But the fact remains that a Muslim does not enjoy
freedom of choice of religion.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Gandhiji’s elder son converted to Islam.
Gandhiji wrote to a well-known Imam to find out how to re-convert him back.
Imam wrote to him that a Muslim is not permitted to convert to another religion
or even renounce Islam. If anybody does then he is an apostate and should be
punished by execution. Gandhiji reconverted his son in Arya-Sabha without
making any noise. Luckily India was under British rule during that time and
matter was handled secretly. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">But there were always a few who repudiated
Islam all these years. They were not killed either. Mainly these are low key
affairs.These conversions did not attract any attention. They are invariably ordinary
people and converted to improve social or economic condition. These people may
be Muslim by birth or by conversion. They form the largest group among few who
converted away from Islam. Invariably these conversions take place in non-Muslim
land. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Some Muslims reconverted back to their original
faith after realizing their mistake. Harihar and Bukka are the two most
important persons in ancient India who established Vijayanagara kingdom after
reconversion. All attempts to assassinate the brothers were repulsed. In fact
Vijaynagara kingdom flourished for 200 years. But such incidences are very few
in history. Few Muslim also converted to religions of their fiancé. But these
are very exceptional cases. Generally it is otherwise. Non-Muslim partner
converts to Islam before marriage due to unbending laws of Islam. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">But now there isthe third group. Educated Muslims,
who have been through violent nature of Islam in their personal lives or have realized
that Islam is the source of all violence, are considering conversion to other
religion, especially Christianity. They are leaders, social reformers and
eminent writers. A time will come when this small group will swell and will be
able to influence Muslim mass.They will be able to modernize Islam or they
should be able to convert Muslims to other faiths<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a> and
achieve world peace.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">13. <u>DO NOT ASK QUESTION. YOU ARE A MUSLIM.<o:p></o:p></u></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Sure we see some Muslims say that they are against
“terrorism”, which they never really define. But have anybody ever seen any
Muslim actually condemning any Jihadi group, Jihadi act, Jihadi concept in
Islamic scriptures or Mohammed for his violent verses? Have any Muslim reviewed
Quran or Hadish critically. No. The reason is that the Islamic scriptures warn
them not to. Muslims are not permitted reasoning with Quran. The Quran warns
Muslims not to ask too many questions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“O ye who believe! Ask not questions about things which, if
made plain to you, may cause you trouble. But if ye ask about things when the Quran
is being revealed, they will be made plain to you, Allah will forgive those:
for Allah is Oft-forgiving, most forbearing.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">If Muslims ask too many questions, the Quran states that they
have lost their faith. Now if a Muslim
loses his faith then he becomes an apostate from Islam. Under Islamic Law
apostasy is punishable by death. The “Reliance of the Traveller, A Classic
Manual of Islamic Scared Law”, teaches that even denying a Quran verse is a
blasphemy and if a Muslim blasphemes Islam, he is an apostate. Apostates should
be killed as per Islamic law. “When a person who has reached puberty and is
sane, voluntarily apostatizes from Islam, he deserves to be killed.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Mohammed said, “Allah has forbidden you, (1) to be undutiful
to your mothers, (2) to bury your daughters alive, (3) not to pay the rights of
others (e.g. charity, etc.) and (4) to beg of men (begging). And Allah has
hated you for (1) vain, useless talk, or that you talk too much about others,
(2) asking too many questions, (in disputed religious matters) and (3) wasting
wealth by extravagance. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> Al-Mughira wrote: I
heard the Prophet saying, “Allah has hated believers for three things:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">1. Vain talks or
useless talk.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">2. Wasting of
wealth by extravagance.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">3. And asking
too many questions (in disputed religious matters) or asking others for
something (except in great need). (See Hadith No. 591, Vol. Ill)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> Once Prophet was
asked about things which he did not like and when the questioners insisted, the
Prophet became angry. He then said to the people, “Ask me anything you like.” A
man asked, “Who is my father?” The Prophet replied, “Your father is Hudhafa.”
Then another man got up and said, “Who is my father, O Allah’s Apostle ?” He
replied, “Your father is Salim, Maula (the freed slave) of Shaiba.” When ‘Umar
saw that (the anger) on the face of the Prophet he immediately came forward and
said, “O Allah’s Apostle! We repent to Allah (Our offending you).”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The Quran states that Mohammad’s actions are to be followed
for all time. Mohammed married Ayesha at her tender age of six and consummated
his marriage with Ayesha at her age of nine. So Muslims today also continue to
marry young girls. Mohammed had eleven wives at one time and permitted other
Muslims four wives at any time. Most Muslim countries permit men to have four
wives at any particular time. Mohammed never hesitated to capture slave women
from defeated non-Muslim groups and rape them. Muslims terrorist groups follow
Mohammed and same ghastly act is repeated in modern times. Boko Haram, ISIL, Al
Queda… , you name a Islamist terrorist group, all indulge in this malicious
crime. Not only terrorist groups, individually Muslims are prone to sex related
crime. They follow Mohammed’s actions. Forget about criticism of Mohammed’s
perversion, no Muslim ever questions validity of Mohammed’s actions in today’s
world. Mohammed practiced slavery. Even today slavery is unofficially practiced
in several Muslim countries. Muslims cannot and do not criticize Mohammed.
Muslims do not understand that Mohammed belonged to 6th century. He followed
social practices of 6th century Arab. He did bring in few social reforms like
stoppage of killing of female child but still his was a savage life. No Muslim
accepts Mohammed was an illiterate savage Arab of 6th century. As long as
Muslims fail to do introspection, they cannot change. They cannot become
citizen of modern states. They are likely to commit terrorist act or a ghastly
crime at any time. They are likely to
betray their country.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Today, Muslims are burdened with a religion of 6th century. A
religion based upon partly Arab traditions of 6th century and partly Abrahamic religion.
Mohammed was uneducated. He learned scriptures from Jews and Christians during
his travels as a trader but was not exposed to religions of India and China. He
was not conversant with Zoroastrianism also. But he intelligently mixed Arab practices
with Judaism and Christianity with many self promoting features. Mohammed did
not keep any provision for change or modification. Even though Mohammed was an
extremely intelligent person of his time, he could not foresee humanity 14
centuries after his death. Therefore Islam cannot change. Muslims continue to
be violent. In civilized society they do not fit. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Muslims are discouraged to read anything that contradicts
Quran or scriptures, even advised to avoid people from another religion lest
they get influenced or pick up new ideas. Mohammed told Muslims, “Go and seek
knowledge.” But he did not mean
knowledge beyond Quran. He wanted to keep Muslims away from contact of
non-believers and their ways of life which included their knowledge. Muslim
army captured Alexandria in 642 AD. They
came across a Library containing 60,000 manuscripts. Commander asked Caliph
what to do with the books. Caliph is said to have told, "If those books
are in agreement with the Quran, we have no need of them; and if these are
opposed to the Quran, destroy them." All books were destroyed by burning.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Centuries later, Muslims started getting acquainted with
knowledge of the conquered people. It is no denying that Arab traders took the
concept of Zero from India to Europe which was a precursor to explosion of
knowledge in Western world. Muslims traded the knowledge of east with the
knowledge of west. But Muslims were ready to accept only that knowledge which
does not contradict their faith. Muslim education in general, was largely
limited to theology and language (Arab). So when renaissance came in western
world and Europeans started spreading around the globe, Muslim world started
falling back despite having control over money and power of half the world.
When Westerners were asking why, Muslims were persecuting enquirers. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Some excerpts from a lecture delivered by Sir Willium Muir at
Cambridge in 1881 is aptly visualized:-<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“Some, indeed, dream of an Islam in the future, rationalised
and regenerate. All this has been tried already, and has miserably failed. The Quran
has so encrusted the religion in a hard unyielding casement of ordinances and
social laws, that if the shell be broken the life is gone. A rationalistic
Islam would be Islam no longer. The contrast between our own faith and Islam is
most remarkable. There are in our Scriptures living germs of truth, which
accord with civil and religious liberty, and will expand with advancing
civilisation. In Islam it is just the reverse. The Quran has no such teaching
as with us that enabled west to abolish polygamy, slavery, and arbitrary
divorce, and has elevated woman to her proper place. As a Reformer, Mohammed
did advance his people to a certain point, but as a Prophet he left them fixed
immovably at that point for all time to come. The tree is of artificial
planting. Instead of containing within itself the germ<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a> of
growth and adaptation to the various requirements of time and clime and
circumstance, expanding with the genial sunshine and rain from heaven, it
remains the same forced and stunted thing as when first planted some twelve
centuries ago.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">There lies the problem. If you analyse Islam critically you will
find the need to modify the faith. If you can modify Islam then there will be
no Islam, as we know. If a social reformer can modify Islam such that Muslims
accept it and the new formed Islam is adoptable to transparency, freedom and
equality then he not only do a favour to Muslims of the world but also to
humanity. Alas Muslims will kill such a reformer as an apostate before he could
convince vast numbers. Islam is a dead religion.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Democracy is incompatible with Islam. Democracy
is rule by majority. It is ultimately rule by human being. Islam prescribes
rule by God. Therefore, most Muslim will see “Islam is incompatible with
democracy” not as a disparagement of Islam, but as a compliment because they
sincerely believe that their idea of rule by God is superior to that of rule by
men which is democracy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Muslim in general opposes western democracy. In
Western democracy, people are sovereign; in Islam sovereignty is vested in
Allah and the people are His caliphs or representatives. The laws given by Allah
through His Prophet (Sharia) are to be regarded as constitutional principles
that should not be violated.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Ayatollah Khomeini called democracy “a form of
prostitution” because he who gets the most votes wins the power that belongs
only to Allah.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Maudoodi, an Islamist theoreticians, dreamed of
a political system in which human beings would act as robots in accordance with
rules set by God. He said that God has arranged man’s biological functions in
such a way that their operation is beyond human control. For our non-biological
functions, notably our social, political and cultural functions, God has set
rules that we have to apply once and for all so that our societies can be on
auto-pilot. In any arguments Muslim scholars mixes up both, biological
functions like breathing with non-biological functions like punishment of a
thief or relation between man and wife. You cannot question why you have one
mouth and two eyes. Similarly you are not expected to question sharia, rule of
God.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">The late Saudi theologian, Sheikh Muhammad bin
Ibrahim al-Jubair sincerely believed that the root cause of all of our
contemporary ills was the spread of democracy. “Only one ambition is worthy of
Islam,” he liked to say, “the ambition to save the world from the curse of
democracy: to teach men that they cannot rule themselves on the basis of manmade
laws. Mankind has strayed from the path of God; we must return to that path or
face certain annihilation.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Many Muslim theologians believe that the real
danger to Islam does not come from American tanks and helicopter gunships but
from the idea of democracy and rule by the people.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u><span lang="EN-US">Islamic rule</span></u></b><u><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Democracy means the rule of people. This is
unacceptable in Islam. The Quran is empathic that “to Allah belong all Dominion
and power”. The words “No judgment but God’s” (la hukmilla li-llah) is based on
several Quranic verses. This power is vested on His regent known as Caliph
al-Allah.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">The Caliph cannot legislate. He can only
interpret the Law given in the Quran and the sunnah and apply it. Naturally,
since the Quran is not a clear book, this allows for a wide range of
interpretations and this explains why there are so many Islamic schools of
thoughts and sects. But the bottom line is no Islamic government can be
democratic. Common people cannot elect legislators for enacting legislation. Common
people are called <i>awwam</i>, and as the saying goes: <i>al-awwamkalanaam</i>!
(Awwam are like animals).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">It is up to the “experts” of the Law to interpret
the Sharia and let the awwam know how they should live their lives. This endows
the “expert” ruler, all the power and allows him to act as the deputy of God on
Earth. There can be no opposition to the ruler. You can’t oppose God by
opposing his representative.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">In democracies people’s beliefs are irrelevant.
They can belong to any religion or no religion and still manage to govern
themselves in a secular state. This is not the case in Islam where God is the
lawgiver. Christians and Jews have managed to separate the Church from the
State. Such a separation in Islam is not possible. The concept of Church as
understood in Christianity does not exist in Islam. There is no central authority
like the Vatican or the Church of England in Islam. Mullahs and Imams are
average Muslims who through their knowledge of the Quran and Sharia gain
reputation among the ummah and their own peers. Every Mullah can interpret the
Sharia in his own way. But he can’t redefine the explicit teachings of Islam.
Every mullah is empowered to issue “fatwa” regarding social, political and
military matters of adherents of Islam. You can’t separate the Islamic “Church”
from politics, because there is no such thing as the Islamic “Church”. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Presently, Muslims don’t have a Caliph
acceptable to all. Even if they had, he would not have been able to deviate
from the Quran and separate Islam from politics.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Democracies are pluralistic. In democracies
people have different faiths and are free to criticize, not only each other’s
religions but also their own. Islam does not tolerate such a thing. Anyone who
criticizes Islam faces severe punishment including execution or assassination.
Islam is regarded as the only Truth. Defying this truth is the same as defying
God. Challenging the authority of the representative of God on earth is like
challenging God himself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Islamic rule is rule of sharia as interpreted
by experts. No citizen has any right to criticize. Non-Muslims in Islamic state
do not have equal right to that of Muslims. Non Muslims are generally treated
like sub-human. And among non- Muslims, people of books have preference. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u><span lang="EN-US">Obligation of Islamic state<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Islam’s main goal is to give the dominion of
this world to its “rightful” owner, Allah. No authority on Earth can change
that. Impeding Islam to achieve this goal is denying its raison d’être and it
is tantamount to blasphemy. Islam by definition is imperialistic. It must
advance, conquer and reclaim the dominion of all the earth or there is no
reason for it to exist.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Tawhid means that only Allah is the Creator,
Sustainer and Master of the universe and of all that exists in it, organic or
inorganic. The sovereignty of this kingdom is vested only in Him. He alone has
the right to command or forbid. Worship and obedience are due to Him alone, no
one and nothing else shares it in any way. Life, in all its forms, our physical
organs and faculties, the apparent control which we have over nearly everything
in our lives and the things themselves, none of them has been created or
acquired by us in our own right. They have been bestowed on us entirely by
Allah. Hence, it is not for us to decide the aim and purpose of our existence
or to set the limits of our authority; nor is anyone else entitled to make
these decisions for us. This right rests only with Allah, who has created us,
endowed us with mental and physical faculties, and provided material things for
our use.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">This definition makes clear that the rule of
Islamic system of government is not limited to Muslims but to every “organic or
inorganic” thing that exists in this universe. This of course includes the
non-Muslims. In an Islamic state everyone must live according to the dictates
of Islam. The next thing in Islam is the concept of Jihad and the necessity to
struggle in order to advance the Islamic dominance.” Islam does not preach
peace, it has never been peaceful and it will never be. Islam has advanced
through aggressive militarism and regards Jihad and martyrdom as the most
meritorious acts. Islam is militant and imperialistic by its very nature.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Islam advises Muslim state to make truce with
Non-Muslim states when it is not ready for engaging them in challenge but truce
should be rescinded as soon as situation reverses. Muslim state should always
try to advance the domain of God or the frontiers of Islamic state. Also it is
duty of every Muslim man to join Jihad. He is glorified in victory and achieve
heaven if becomes shaheed to receive blessings of God in the form of virgin
young girls among other things.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Islam is also elitist. The Caliph or the
velayat-e faqih is the ultimate authority on Earth. He is the one who can
understand the scriptures properly. His word is the ultimate undisputable
decree. However, theoretically, just as in communism, anyone can aspire to
become Caliph. The Caliph in Sunni sect is elected by the learned whereas the
velayate-e faqih in Shiism is nominated by a body of the ruling Mullahs called:
“The Assembly of Experts”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Whether this ruler is elected or nominated,

lives as per the requirement of the state. The fascist leader rules by deceit.
He portrays himself as state. Ultimate leader’s requirement becomes state’s
requirement.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Just like in fascism, the Islamic state is
defined as an organic whole to which individuals must submit. In Islam
“freedom” is in submission to Allah and his messenger. The very word Islam,
which Muslims deceptively translate as peace, means submission. What is good
for Islam and the Islamic state is good for Muslims and what is bad for Islam
and the Islamic state is to be spurned and regarded as bad for the Muslims too.
Islam and the establishment of Islam’s dominion are the greater good and the
ultimate goal that every Muslim must strive for. The most important feature of
Islamic polity is the glorification of Islamic state and the total
subordination of the individual to it.<b><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Islam opposes knowledge and technology but it
is presented as the religion that encourages learning. Muslims are fond of reminding
others that Muhammad said “seek knowledge even if it is in China” But the fact
is that any knowledge that is perceived as contradicting the Quran is regarded
satanic and is to be destroyed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span lang="EN-US">The Royal Library of Alexandria in Egypt was
once the largest in the world. It was founded at the beginning of the 3rd
century BC during the reign of Ptolemy II of Egypt. It stored at its peak,
400,000 to 700,000 scrolls. In 640 AD Muslims took the city and upon learning
of “a great library containing all the knowledge of the world” the conquering
general asked Caliph Omar for instructions. Omar has been quoted as saying of
the Library’s holdings, “they will either contradict the Quran, in which case
they are heresy, or they will agree with it, so they are superfluous.” And to
be on the safe side he ordered the library to be destroyed and the books burnt.</span></b><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">It is important to note that when Muslims talk
about knowledge, they are talking about the “revealed” knowledge and not the
secular scientific knowledge that has given birth to our civilization. The word
science in Arabic is <i>ilm</i>. The people, who possess this <i>ilm</i>, are
called <i>ulama</i>(plural of <i>alim</i>). Alim does not mean scientist.
It means religious scholar. Ilm is religious knowledge.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Another similarity of Islam and fascism is
their disdain of reason and intelligence. In Islam, the emphasis is on faith
and unquestioning obedience to the mandates of God. Reason is rejected as a
fallacy. Abu Hamid Al-Ghazali, (1058 – 1111 CE), arguably the greatest Islamic
scholar ever, in his book “Incoherence of the Philosophers” bitterly denounced
Aristotle, Plato, Socrates and other Greek thinkers as non-believers and
labeled those who employed their methods and ideas as corrupters of the Islamic
faith. He took aim at Avicenna for being a rationalist who drew intellectually
upon the Ancient Greeks. By emphasizing on the incompatibility of faith and
reason, and by asserting the futility of making faith subordinate to reason,
Ghazali gave validity to unreasoned faith and thus glorified stupidity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">William Montgomery Watt says: “The early period
of Islamic thought is dominated by the conception of the exchangeability of
true religion and the special Ar<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>ab and Islamic conception
of the nature of knowledge. Knowledge that is important for the conduct of life
– and this is knowledge in the fullest sense – is obtained in the revealed
words of God and in the sayings of prophets and other specially gifted men.
From this conception of knowledge it follows that the work of the scholar is to
transmit accurately the revealed text and other wise sayings”. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">In Islam, the Caliph does not wear a showy
uniform. On the contrary, in accordance to Muhammad’s sunnah, he exerts himself
to make a public display of modesty. Modesty is just a show and a hallmark of
Islam. The more modest you dress, the more pious you look. But Caliph did live
a luxurious life in private, away from public gaze. The Friday prayers and the
hajj are the Islamic versions of mass parades that are designed to impress the
believer, give him a sense of pride and belonging and make him firm in his
belief that Islam is strong.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">This way all Muslims become equal and they had
to lead a life as directed by Sharia. Sharia rules remained unchanged through
fourteen hundred years. Even today no innovation, no change or no modification
is allowed in Sharia rules. Naturally, reason is not appreciated. Only faith
and total surrender to the interpretation of Imam is acceptable. Islamic
education promotes mindless learning by heart of Quran and Hadith and rejects
science and knowledge.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Quran says in verse no - 4:34</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Men have authority over women
because God has made one superior to other and because men spend their wealth
to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts
because God has guarded them. As for those whom man fear disobedience, he
should admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them. Then if they
obey, no further action is necessary against them. Surely God is great.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
To have a better understanding of
Surah 4:34 few translations are quoted.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Yusuf Ali: Men are the protectors
and maintainers of women, because Allah has given the one more (strength) than
the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the
righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in (the husband's) absence
what Allah would have them guard. As to those women on whose part ye fear
disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (Next), refuse to share
their beds, (And last) beat them (lightly); but if they return to obedience,
seek not against them Means (of annoyance): For Allah is Most High, great
(above you all).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Pickthall: Men are in charge of
women, because Allah hath made the one of them to excel the other, and because
they spend of their property (for the support of women). So good women are the
obedient women, guarding secrets that Allah hath guarded. As for those from whom ye fear rebellion,
admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and scourge them. Then if they
obey you, seek not a way against them. Lo! Allah is ever High, Exalted and
Great.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Shakir: Men are the maintainers
of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they
spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding
the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear
desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat
them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is
High, Great. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
All three translations agree with
each other and establish the Quran promotes wife-beating. In fact the Qur'an
states Allah created men to be maintainers of women and men are superior to
women, therefore Allah did not create men and women as equals.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The Qur'an also states the
prophet Job (Ayyub) was permitted to beat his wife in Surah 38:41-44:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Ayyub, a pious man, got angry
with his wife for what she had done. But he was ill and could not take his wife
to task, so he swore an oath that if Allah healed him, he would strike her with
one hundred blows. When Allah healed him, he was in a dilemma. How could her
service, mercy, compassion and kindness be repaid with a beating? At the same time it was a promise to Allah. It
must be respected. So Allah showed him a way out, which was to take a bundle of
thin grass, with one hundred stems, and hit her with it once. Thus he fulfilled
his oath and avoided breaking his vow. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Mohammed gave his wife Aisha
physical pain by striking her in the chest.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Ayesha told that once when it was
her turn to spend the night with Allah's Messenger, he came, turned his side,
put on his mantle and took off his shoes and placed them near his feet, and
spread the corner of his shawl on his bed and then lay down till he thought
that I had gone to sleep. Then, he took hold of his mantle slowly and put on
the shoes slowly, and opened the door and went out and then closed it lightly.
I covered my head, put on my veil and tightened my waist wrapper, and then went
out following his steps till he reached Baqi. He stood there and he stood for a
long time. He then lifted his hands three times, and then returned and I also
returned. He hastened his steps and I also hastened my steps. He ran and I too
ran. He came (to the house) and I also came (to the house). I, however,
preceded him and I entered (the house), and as I lay down in the bed, he (the
Prophet) entered the (house), and said: Why is it, O' Ayesha, that you are out
of breath? I said: There is nothing. He said: Tell me or the Subtle and the
Aware would inform me. I said: Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be
ransom for you, and then I told him (the whole story). He said: Was it the darkness
(of your shadow) that I saw in front of me? I said: Yes. He struck me on the
chest which caused me pain, and then said: Did you think that Allah and His
Apostle would deal unjustly with you? She said: Whatsoever the people conceal,
Allah will know it. He said: Gabriel came to me when you saw me. He called me
and he concealed it from you. I responded to his call, but I too concealed it
from you (for he did not come to you), as you were not fully dressed. I thought
that you had gone to sleep, and I did not like to awaken you, fearing that you
may be frightened. He (Gabriel) said: Your Lord has commanded you to go to the
inhabitants of Baqi' (to those lying in the graves) and beg pardon for them. I
said: Messenger of Allah, how should I pray for them (How should I beg
forgiveness for them)? He said: Say, Peace be upon the inhabitants of this city
(graveyard) from among the Believers and the Muslims, and may Allah have mercy
on those who have gone ahead of us, and those who come later on, and we shall,
God willing, join you.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In another hadith, Abu Bakr (the
first Rightly-Guided Caliph of Islam), strikes (his daughter) Ayesha violently
with his fist. Ayesha said, : Abu Bakr came towards me and struck me violently
with his fist and said, "You have detained the people because of your
necklace." But I remained motionless as if I was dead lest I should awake
Allah's Apostle although that hit was very painful.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In the following hadith, Abu Bakr
informs Mohammed that he slapped Khadijah’s daughter for asking for more money,
and Mohammed responds by laughing and tells Abu Bakr his wives are also asking
him for more money. Abu Bakr (the first Rightly-Guided Caliph of Islam) and
Umar (the second Rightly-Guided Caliph of Islam) respond by slapping Mohammed's
wives, Ayesha (for the third time) and Hafsa. Later on, Mohammed gives a decree
instructing men not to beat their wives, but changes his mind once Umar informs
him that some of the women have become emboldened towards their husbands. Women
complained to Mohammed about domestic violence and he always responded by
stating that they are not the best among women and a man will not be asked as
to why he beats his wife.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In another hadith, Ali (the
fourth Rightly-Guided Caliph of Islam) gives a slave-girl a violent beating in
front of Mohammed. As for Ali, he said “Women are plentiful, and you can easily
change one for another. Ask the slave girl; she will tell you the truth.” So
the Apostle called Burayra to ask her and Ali got up and gave her a violent
beating, saying, ‘Tell the Apostle the truth.’”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In the following hadith, a woman
complains to Mohammed about her husband and shows him where he had beaten and
bruised her. Mohammed listens to the husband’s side of the story and comes to
the conclusion the reason why his wife is complaining is because he cannot
sexually satisfy her and she wants to go back to her ex-husband, when all she
is really saying is that he is abusing her. Instead of scolding her husband for
beating her, Mohammed says she cannot re-marry her ex-husband unless she has
sexual intercourse with her present husband first.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Fatima bint Qais reported: My
husband Abu 'Amr b. Hafs sent Abu Rabia to me with a divorce, and he also sent
through him five si's of dates and five si's of barley. I said: Is there no
maintenance allowance for me but only this and I cannot even spend my 'Idda
period in your house? He said: No. She said: I dressed myself and came to
Allah's Messenger. He said: How many pronouncements of divorce have been made
for you? I said: Three. He said what he ( Abu Rabia) had stated was true. There
is no maintenance allowance for you. Spend Idda period in the house of your
cousin, Ibn Umm Maktum. He is blind and you can put off your garment in his
presence. And when you have spent your Idda period, you inform me. She said:
Mu'awiya , Abu-Jahm and Usama b. Zaid were among those who had given me the
proposal of marriage. Thereupon Allah's Apostle said: Mu'awiya is destitute and
in poor condition and Abu-Jahm is very harsh with women (or he beats women),
you should take Usama b. Zaid (as your husband). Therefore Mohammed accepted
that three pronouncement of divorce is only requirement for divorce. There is
no responsibility of husband for maintaining ex-wife even for Idda period. Even
Allah's Apostle cannot prevent a man from beating his wife as in the case of
Abu-Jahm. The condition of believing Muslim women was not so good in Islam during the
time of Mohammed.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In hadith, Ayesha recorded that
she had not seen any woman suffering as much as the believing women, meaning
Muslim women were suffering more than their pagan and Abrahamic counterparts.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Finally in the "Farewell
Sermon", Mohammed compares women to domestic animals and once again orders
men to beat their wives. "You have rights over your wives and they have
rights over you. You have the right that they should not defile your bed and
that they should not behave with open unseemliness. If they do, God allows you
to put them in separate rooms and beat them but not with severity. If they
refrain from these things they have the right to their food and clothing with
kindness. Lay injunctions on women kindly, for they are prisoners with you
having no control of their persons. You have taken them as a trust from God,
and you have the enjoyment of their persons by the words of God, so understand.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
It is clear from all of the above
that wife-beating has been an accepted part of Islam since its inception. Mohammed
was not against domestic violence and indeed permitted wife-beating in Islam.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Muslim scholars have written a
lot of commentary in relation to wife-beating in the Qur'an. Here we will only
quote a few scholars:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Tafsir Ibn Kathir</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
"When a husband notices
signs of rebelliousness in his wife (nushuz), whether in words, as when she
answers him coldly when she used to do so politely, or he asks her to come to
bed and she refuses, contrary to her usual habit; or whether in acts, as when
he finds her averse to him when she was previously kind and cheerful, he warns
her in words without distancing from her or hitting her, for it may be that she
has an excuse. The warning could be to tell her, "fear Allah concerning
the rights you owe to me," or it could be to explain that rebelliousness
nullifies his obligation to support her and give her a turn amongst other
wives, or it could be to inform her, "Your obeying me is religiously
obligatory". If she commits rebelliousness, he keeps from sleeping (and
having sex) with her without words, and may hit her, but not in a way that
injures her, meaning he may not (bruise her), break bones, wound her, or cause
blood to flow. (It is unlawful to strike another’s face.) He may hit her whether
she is rebellious only once or whether more than once, though a weaker opinion
holds that he may not hit her unless there is repeated rebelliousness."</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
If the wife does not fulfill one
of the above-mentioned obligations, she is termed "rebellious" (nashiz),
and the husband takes the following steps to correct matters:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
(a) Admonition and advice, by
explaining the unlawfulness of rebellion, its harmful effect on married life,
and by listening to her viewpoint on the matter;</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
(b) If admonition is ineffectual,
he keeps from her by not sleeping in bed with her, by which both learn the
degree to which they need each other;</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<o:p> </o:p>(c) If keeping away from her is
ineffectual, it is permissible for him to hit her if he believes that hitting
her will bring her back to the right path, though if he does not think so, it
is not permissible. His hitting her may not be in a way that injures her, and
is his last recourse to save the family.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
(d) If the disagreement does not
end after all this, each partner chooses an arbitrator to solve the dispute by
settlement, or divorce.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Al-Nawawi</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Man admonishes wife as a first step. Then he
attempts a new direction, appealing to her femininity and emotions, by making
her feel that he doesn't want her or love her. When this doesn't work, he says
to her: With you, I have reached a stage which is only appropriate for inhumane
people - the stage of beating.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
How should the beatings go? Maybe
a light slap on her shoulder, or maybe a not-so-light pinch, or a kind of
gentle shove. He should make her feel that he wants to reform her, and let her
know that he is displeased with her. It is like saying: None of the measures
that work with sensitive people work with you. A word would be enough for any
wife with lofty morals, but with you, words do not help.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Beating is one of the punishments
of religious law. What kind of people is beaten? Virgin adulterers, both men
and women, are beaten as a means of discipline. Who else is beaten? A person,
who has committed an offense and was sentenced by the judge, is beaten. Who
else is beaten? By beating his wife, the husband is saying: You've committed a
grave sin that merits beatings."</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Egyptian Cleric Galal Al-Khatib
Explains Wife-Beating in Islam</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In a nutshell, it appeared as
part of a program to reform the wife. [According to the Koran], first 'admonish
them,' [then] 'sleep in separate beds, and beat them.'...This method appeared
as part of the treatment of a rebellious wife. I am faced with two options –
either the family will be destroyed by divorce, or I can use means that may
bring my wife, the mother of my children, back to her senses. The first means
is admonishment...The second means of treatment is 'sleeping in separate beds.'
Why? Because this targets her honour. A
lot could be said about this. The strength of a woman lies in her ability to
seduce the man. The man is strong and can do whatever he wants, but the woman
has a weapon of her own. This weapon can be targeted. Many women will come back
to their senses, when they realize that this is what's involved. Lastly, it is
beating. By Allah, even if only one woman out of a million can be reformed by
light beatings, that is good for society. It's not really beating, it's more
like punching. It's like shoving or poking her. That's what it is.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Dr. Ahmad Al-Tayyeb, </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Discipline. The husband has the
right to discipline his wife if she disobeys him in something good, not if she
disobeys him in something sinful, because Allah has enjoined disciplining women
by forsaking them in bed and by hitting them, when they do not obey. The Hanafis
mentioned four situations in which a husband is permitted to discipline his
wife by hitting her. These are: not adorning herself when he wants her to; not
responding when he calls her to bed and she is taahirah (pure, i.e., not
menstruating); not praying; and going out of the house without his permission.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Afghanistan</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Nearly 90 percent of Afghan women
suffer from domestic abuse, according to the United Nations Development Fund
for Women. Despite that, there are less than a dozen shelters for women in
Afghanistan. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Iran</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Statistics in Iran show that 66%
of Iranian women, at the beginning of the marriage have been at least
physically abused once. Some forms of physical abuse that occur include:
biting, bondage, imprisonment in their own home, scratching, hair pulling, and
even starving.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Iraq</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
A recent report by the UN
Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) registered 139 cases of violence against
women in the northern region of Kurdistan in the second half of 2008 alone. It
said 163 women were killed as a result of domestic violence in Kurdistan in
2009. Experts suggest the number is less than 5 percent of the real estimates.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Jordan</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
91% of university students polled
by the Jordanian Human Right Center approve of wife beating. An earlier study
by another organization found out that a majority of WOMEN also supports the
right of a husband to beat the wife.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Pakistan</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Up to 4,000 women are burnt each

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Violence against women is present
in all under-developed countries. It exists even in Western societies. Muslim
world becomes different where even the victim considers it right. Wife beating
is ordained by God. Most women in Islamic faith are grown with the concept of
men having the right to admonishing and beating their wives. Muslim women
believe men and women are not equal. Men are provider and women are dependent.
They cannot accept modernity and fall back to Islamic concept and Islam is a
religion <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>of 6th century. Wife beating in Islam will
continue.</div>

“Therefore the Negro people are, as a rule, submissive to
slavery, because [Negroes] have little [that is essentially] human and have
attributes that are quite similar to those of dumb animals, as we have stated.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That is from Ibn Khaldun in 1377, one of the greatest Arab
minds ever.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Arab Muslims do not tell their
black “friends” that the word for “black”, as in a black person, in Arabic is
“SLAVE.” The Arabic word for “black” (Abed) is “abed” which also means “slave”.
This means that if you are a black man, your Arab Muslim “friend” would
describe you as slave. Blacks are told that they should convert to Islam to
avoid white supremacy but they are not told that they have to accept Arab
supremacy. Arab supremacy does not even accept right to life for blacks. A black person, converting to Islam, is like
jumping out of the frying pan to the direct fire.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
True, blacks suffer
discrimination in some of the white countries or in India or China. It is
equally true that majority of non-black people do not conform to this
behaviour. State, society and religion (other than Islam) do not support
inequality based on race, colour of skin or religion. But situation is not so
in Muslim world. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Prophet Muhammad practiced and approved of
slavery. He directed his men to do the same. The Quran devotes more verses to
informing Muslim men of their right to keep women as sex slaves, than it does
to telling them to pray five times a day. Muhammad’s father-in-law, Umar, the
first Caliph, declared that Arabs could not be taken as slaves and freed all
Arab slaves but he allowed taking non-Arab slaves. This led to the wide Islamic campaign to
capture slaves in Africa, Europe and Asia.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Western slave trade exploited
Africans primarily for agricultural labour. The Arab slave trade on the other
hand, has more often used men for military service or harem guards and women
for sex and for their wombs – to produce children who will be slaves. Of
course, males were generally castrated and if not, would be physically
decapitated.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Many Muslim leaders since
Muhammad had harems of hundreds (or even thousands) of non-Muslim young girls
and women to service their desires. These women were unfortunately guarded by
castrated male slaves, Negro males. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Islamic traders transported over 140 million slaves (black men,
women and children) out of Africa to Muslim area. They had to cross Sahara. The result was pathetic. Only 28 million could
make it. Rest perished. The reasons are
simple. The traders had scant respect for the lives of African people. They
were treated like animals. Adequate
arrangement for food or water was never made.
Still some people used to survive. The male survivors had to face
castration before reaching market. A large number male would die due to
infection subsequent to castration. That is why vast majority of the slaves in
the market were females. It is estimated
that over 120<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a> million souls had died en route to the
slave market in the hand of Muslim slave traders in 1400 years since advent of
Islam.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sufferings of the African slaves would not end after
reaching master’s house. The female slaves were extensively used both for
domestic chores and sex. Naturally females would get pregnant and produce
children. But where are they? 10 to 12 million women, used for sex over 1400
hundred years should have resulted a billion strong community today.
Alternately these women or their descendants would have converted to Islam,
became free citizen and intermixed with the Arabs. Such a large number of
African women would have supplied a dominant gene pool that would have made
Arabs look like African themselves. It has not happened. In fact Arabs in 600
AD were a mixed race. They had African blood and look. But today, Arabs are
white skinned and they are proud of it. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But then what could have happened? It is believed that Arabs
used to kill the children of the black sex slaves. At least they used to kill
or castrate male children. Female
children could grow to become sex slave again. Imagine the insensitivity. Arabs
had been executing death penalty to their own children because they were born to
an African mother. This explains why there is no black Arab in Arabia today.
But still it does not explain how Arabs became white. It also has simple
explanation. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Arab slave traders also used to attack and enslave Europeans
and Turkish tribes. White female slaves were prized possession of an Arab. Even
Mohammed praised three nice things in this world. These are greenery, sweet
flowing water and white female face. First two things were difficult to maintain
in Arabian Desert. So the third thing was in demand. Of course these white sex
slaves also produced children. These white sex slaves or their children were
converted. They were not killed. In time, these white children became free and
part of Arab society. Slowly they intermingled and slowly Arab became white.
Today’s Arabs are descendants of those European and Turkish sex slaves. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Islam is a deadly ideology.
Islam is the most bigoted religion. It is against Jews, Christians,
Hindus, Sikhs, Zoroastrians, and name it - any non-Muslims. Along with bigotry, Islam is also most
racist. Muslims hate Blacks, including Muslims who are Black and regularly
refer to them as “abed” (singular) and “abeed” (plural), which is Arabic for
“slave,” but is used as the Negro by Arabs and Muslims. And, Muslims picked fights against and even
murdered Blacks. In Detroit, two Arab Muslim gas station clerks beat Kelvin
Porter to death with a tire iron (while calling him the Negro), in presence of
his 12 year old daughter. All because, he asked them to stop leering at her. It is not Arabs only. All Muslims hate Blacks
which is in built in the religion. Muslims also hate Mongoloid people but do
not express as Mongoloid people had been economically and militarily in stronger
position. Muslims consider brown as less equal since they are not white.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In India Muslims created a unique caste system wherein
Muslims from Arab, Turkey, Persia and Afghanistan are considered superior and called
Ashraf. Converted Muslims, especially from lower castes of Hindu society are
known as Ajlaf . Ashraf Muslims will never accept alliance from a Ajlaf Muslim.
Finally there is Arjal who are like vilest people among Muslims as they are
converts from lowest castes of Hindu society. Islam may profess classless
society, but does not practice it. Islam considers Syeds are the Brahmins of
Islam. Descendants of Mohammed’s clan of Qurarysh are the next level. All
Caliphs were from Quraysh sect. Arabs are the original Muslims and so superior
to all others. In fact many Muslims from Indian sub-continent will try their
best to prove their Arab connection. Next comes, Muslims from Turky, Iran and
periphery. Sub-continent Muslims are on lower status but above the Africans. Thus
racism and social differentiation is widely practiced in Islam.</div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">9. <u>FEAR<o:p></o:p></u></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Mohammed could convert about 150 souls to
Islam in first ten years of preaching when he tried to convince by logic. Most of the initial Muslims were friends and relatives of Mohammed. But by the time
of his death, Mohammed had sway over entire Arabia. He could convert entire
population of Arabia with the power of sword in subsequent ten years.
Thereafter, the story is repeated again and again. Islam is propagated not only
by fear of death but Muslims are controlled through the same fear. Truly Islam
may be termed as a religion of FEAR. It can be seen how a Muslim lives a life
of fear. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
1. The Fear of Allah.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Allah is not the loving God that
we find in Hinduism or Christianity. The Quran tells the readers that they
should fear Allah. Allah rules the universe with an iron hand. Allah knows
everything and he punishes all who deviate. Not only Muslims fear their God but
they are deathly afraid of being eternally damned by an angry Allah. Islam does
not give much assurance of salvation. All the Muslim Imams or preachers
continually evoke the spirit of fear. “Fear
Allah” is the theme of the religion. Allah punishes all to the hellfire. The
only Muslims, who are guaranteed a place in Heaven, are those who die in a Jihad
or those who die while on a pilgrimage to Mecca. All others hope they will be
allowed into Heaven, but there is no certainty. This is why Islam is a
"works" religion. They must do all that the Quran tells them to do if
they are going to earn love from Allah. That is why Jihad is so important to a
Muslim.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
2. The Fear of Hell.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In Islam, Hell is described in
very graphic terms in both the Quran and the Hadith. Their theology teaches
that there are several levels of Hell. The first level of Hell is reserved for
Muslim sinners, the second is for idolaters who were polytheists, the third
level is for worshipers of fire, and the fourth level is for atheists. By the
time you get to the fifth and sixth levels you find out who are the real
enemies of Islam because the fifth is reserved for Jews and the sixth for the
Christians. The seventh and last is for hypocrites which could also include hypocrite Muslims.
All Muslims who have not pleased God will fall into first or seventh level of the hell, but
by the grace of Allah, they can be brought out.
In the holy writings of Islam there are very graphic descriptions of the
pain and torment that will be experienced by those in Hell. Such graphic
details as skin being slowly peeled off the body only to grow back again and
peeled off again and again, bloated stomachs exploding because of the liquid
they drink, and other painful experiences are vividly described. Reading such
descriptions only elevate the fear level in believers.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
3. The Fear of Apostasy.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
One of the laws in their legal
system (Sharia) is the penalty for apostasy. This word describes a person who is
either a born or a converted Muslim and then leaves Islam for another
belief. Even not practicing Islam is
apostasy. Penalty for apostasy is death. Apostate is given three days’ time to
change his mind. Within this time of grace period apostate has to reconvert and
apologise, failing which he will be killed. This means that if a Muslim ever
converts to another religion or belief, he should be killed. This is carried
out today in many Muslim countries that practice Sharia law. So a Muslim is
advised to keep relation with Muslims only. If he keeps contact with non-believers
and is swayed by their free thinking, he might leave Islam and adopt another
religion or might just leave Islamic ways. Both ways he would be doing apostasy
and that warrants death.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Some moderate Muslim leaders feel
that it should be God that should punish the ones leaving Islam and not man.
Allah can send the person to Hell, saving man the responsibility of punishing
the one who turns their back on Islam. But the Quran prescribes capital
punishment for leaving Islam. Quran cannot be changed. Thus the rule stands. This
single rule forces all Muslims to continue and all Muslim try to prove that he
is more devout Muslim than others. Fear of apostasy and fear of death in case
of apostasy prevent exodus from Islam.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
4. The Fear of Democracy</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
"Democracy" is one of
the few foreign words adopted into the Arabic language. When Muslims hear the
word, they feel that it is something against their culture. The fact that today
democratic principles are having some success in Islamic countries is
practically a miracle. According to Sharia only God has the right to rule.
Since God cannot be directly ruling, a true representative of God or Khalifa
should rule in the name of God. It has
to be learned men of Islam who can rule according to the principles of Sharia and common man must only follow.
Muslims cannot understand how a representative of common man can take up the
power which belongs to God. Many of the more radical Muslims know that the
coming of democracy will blunt Islamic ideas and thus Muslims are constantly
told to be afraid of democracy and are constantly told that it is a tool of the
devil.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
5. The Fear of the West.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The word for the West in Arabic
is Gharb. This is their word for a place of darkness and the incomprehensible.
They see western world in a negative light, thus they fear both the people of
the West and their religion, Christianity. In fact a dominant teaching in Islam
has the whole world divided into two camps. One is Dar al-Islam -and the other
is Dar al-Harb. Either you are a Muslim and belong to the house of Islam, or
you are of the house of war and to be rejected and feared. To exist outside of
Islam puts you at odd with your culture, your people, your values and even your
God. They fear all who live in this strange world.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
6. The Fear for their close ones.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Muslims residing in non-Muslim
countries are blessed. They live in peace. Since there is no Sharia, there is
no fear of moral police, no fear of apostasy and no fear of judgement of other
Muslims. But Muslim immigrants suffer a different kind of fear for their
relatives and friends in their home countries. They constantly read of wars,
terrorists' attacks, and revolutions taking place in their home country. There
is continuous chaos, mayhem and anarchy in Muslim countries. An immigrant is
safe but he suffers from fear for life of his relatives back home. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<o:p> </o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<o:p><br /></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<o:p><br /></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Islam is a religion of fear. This
fear can only go with education. Once the fear is gone then a new Islamic
thought will take birth. People will be encouraged to challenge religious
tenets. Ir-reversibility of Quran can be challenged. Quran will be just another
religious book written by Mohammed, trying to organize Arab tribes into a
cohesive force. Today’s world does not require 6<sup>th</sup> century Islam.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Islam institutionalizes slavery.
Mohammed himself was a practitioner of slavery. Quran repeatedly allows Muslims
to keep “what right hand possesses”. Mohammed maintained sex slaves. Subsequent
Khalifas had slaves. Abu Bakr was murdered by a slave only. Promoted by Quran,
Muslims carried out slave trade for last 1400 years with a devastating effect.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The Islamic World was a main factor
in slavery from sixth century onward. Islamic law encourages freeing a slave as
a benevolent act but also permits enslavement through capturing in war or raid.
Buying and selling slaves has been a regular feature in all Islamic centres.
The first Khalifa freed all Arab Muslim slaves. Thereafter Arabs are not taken as slaves. Also if a slave is converted
to Islam, their master was expected to free them as an act of piety, and if
they did not, the master had to teach Islam to them. Muslims did not always
treat slaves in <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack">accordance </a>with Islamic law. Religious
sanction for keeping non-Muslim slave as well as Muslim slave on condition of
education promoted slavery. Muslims from Arab and North Africa would raid and
capture African pagans and sale them in slave market. Slaves in Muslim world would
be primarily used for sex (women) and military requirement (men). <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Slavery was rare among
hunter-gatherer populations. Slavery took shape along with development of
cultivation and settlement of human population. It developed as a system of
social stratification. Slavery was known in civilizations as old as Sumer, as
well as almost in every other ancient civilization. Slavery was practiced in
great Roman civilization. In fact one out of three in Rome was a slave. Arabs
practiced slavery before arrival of Islam. Slavery was rampant even among
African people. Only India developed an alternate model of caste system which
is based upon job based social stratification. Slavery was unheard of in India
even though low castes people who carried out scavenging job were ill-treated.
Slavery was introduced in India by Muslim invaders but it was limited to courts.
Hindu society remained by and large free from slavery. China also discouraged slavery
in the sense that no Chinese citizen could be captured and sold as slave.
Slaves bought and brought from outside was permitted. China and India, two
great civilizations, stand out where slavery was really non-existent. However
slavery was a common vice all over globe and it became a very important
commercial activity under Muslims as Islamic slavery from 6<sup>th</sup>
century onward and subsequently western slavery during colonial rule of sixteenth
century to nineteenth century. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

knowledge about Islamic slave trade. Islamic
slave trade was by far more heinous, more voluminous, spread over fourteen
centuries and still continuing. A

10 million Africans were transported across the Atlantic (95% of which went to
South and Central America, mainly to Portuguese, Spanish and French possessions
and 5% of the slaves went to the United States). Again it is estimated that
about 28 million Africans were enslaved in the Muslim Middle East. Since 80% of
those captured by Muslim slave traders were calculated to have perished before
reaching the slave markets, it is believed that the death toll from the 14
centuries of Muslim slave raids into Africa could have been over 120 million.
When added to the number of those sold in the slave markets, the total number
of African victims of the Trans Saharan and East African slave trade could be
significantly higher than 140 million people.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

African slaves only. They enslaved Europeans also. Historian Robert Davis in
his book "Christian Slaves, Muslim Masters - White Slavery in the
Mediterranean, the Barbary Coast and Italy", estimates that North African
Muslim pirates abducted and enslaved more than 1 million Europeans between 1530
and 1780. These white Christians were seized in a series of raids which
depopulated coastal towns from Sicily to Cornwall. Thousands of white
Christians in coastal areas were seized every year to work as galley slaves,
labourers and concubines for Muslim slave masters in what is today Morocco,
Tunisia, Algeria and Libya. Villages and towns on the coast of Italy, Spain,
Portugal and France were the hardest hit, but the Muslim slave raiders also
seized people as far afield as Britain, Ireland and Iceland. They even captured
130 American seamen from ships they boarded in the Atlantic between 1785 and
1793. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

people were abducted between 1622 to 1644, many of them ship crews and
passengers. But the Corsairs also landed on unguarded beaches, often at night,
to snatch the unwary. Almost all the inhabitants of the village of Baltimore,
in Ireland, were captured in 1631, and there were other raids in Devon and
Cornwall. Many of these white, Christian slaves were put to work in quarries,
building sites and galleys and endured malnutrition, disease and mistreatment
at the hands of their Muslim slave masters. Many of them were used for public
works such as building harbours. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

raiders between 1500 to 1800. <sup><o:p></o:p></sup></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Islam prohibits adoption of
children. Adoption in the technical sense is not allowed in Muslim Sharia law.
This is because Allah does not like this gesture of adopting orphan children. Barbaric
Arabs practiced adoption which was wrong. Allah declared in Quran, "Allah
prohibits adoption in Islam and annulled all the judgements pertaining to
adoption.”Adopted daughter must put hizab on her face in presence of her foster
father and brothers from age 9 and vice versa. The old concept of prohibition
of marriage of foster father with divorced wife of the adopted son as though he
is the natural father was annulled. So
Allah commanded his prophet to marry Zainab Bint Jahsh, wife of Zaid, who was
adopted son of Muhammed, in order to abolish this pagan custom (Fatawa
al-Imam). Islamic sources state, "As to Zainab Bint Jahsh, the Messenger
of Allah married for no higher wisdom than to abolish the heresy of adoption." </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In pre-Islamic Arab society adoption
of orphan/helpless child was a very popular and moral practice. Arabs used to
consider adopted child as their own. And they used to pass onto them the
adopter's genealogy and name. The adopted child used to have all the rights of
the legitimate offspring including that of inheritance. Marriage between
adopted child and other member of adopter’s family was considered sin. Surely
adopter cannot marry adopted daughter or for that matter divorced wife of an adopted
son.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Now how this rule came into being?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Mohammed adopted Zaid Ibn
Mohammed after his marriage with Khadija. Zaid Ibn Haritha then became Zaid Ibn Mohammed after the name
of the Prophet. Incidentally Zaid was one of the first people to accept Islam
along with Mohammed’s nephew Ali, wife Khadija and friend Abu Bakr. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The place was Medina. Islam had
taken root. Mohammed had already married seven of his fifteen wives after death
of his first wife Khadija in Mecca. One day Mohammed wanted Zaid Ibn Mohammed
for some purpose. The Messenger of God came to house of Zaid Ibn Mohammed seeking
him. Zaid was not in the house. Mohammed called out,“Where is Zaid?” When he
did not find him, he went inside Zaid’s house, seeking him. Zainab Bint Jahsh,
wife of Zaid, stood up to meet Mohammed in a housedress. She said, 'He is not
here, Messenger of God, so please come in; my father and mother are your
ransom.' The Messenger of God refused to come in. So Zainab had hurried to
dress herself and she leapt in a hurry. Mohammed liked her when she did that.
The heart of the Prophet was filled with appreciation for her. The Messenger of
God turned away from house of Zaid. He went away muttering something that was
hardly understandable but for this sentence: 'Praise be to God who disposes the
hearts.' When Zaid came back home, she told him that the Messenger of God came.
Zaid asked, 'You asked him to come in, didn't you?' She replied, 'I bade him
to, but he refused.' He said, 'Have you heard [him say] anything?' She
answered, 'When he had turned away, I heard him say something that I could
hardly understand. I heard him say, "Praise be to God who disposes the
hearts." Zaid went out to the Messenger of God and said, “O Messenger of
God, I learned that you came to my house. Did you come in? O Messenger of God,
my father and mother are your ransom. Perhaps you liked Zainab. I can leave
her.” The Messenger of God said, 'Hold on to your wife.' Zaid said, “O
Messenger of God, I will leave her.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Thereafter Zaid gave Talak to Zainab.
She finished her legal period of three months after she had isolated herself
from Zaid. In the meantime the Messenger of God went to a trance in presence of
Aisha while talking to her and when it lifted, he smiled and said, “Who will go
to Zainab to tell her that God wedded her to me from heaven?” The Messenger of
God recited; “Thus you told someone whom God had favoured and whom you yourself
have favoured: "Hold on to your wife." Salma, the sex slave of the
Messenger of God, hurried to tell Zainab about God’s ordain. She gave her some
silver jewelry that she was wearing.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
There was disbelief among
faithful. Aisha could see through, 'I heard much about her beauty and moreover,
about how God wedded her from heaven.” She could do nothing but was
apprehensive of her position. She said, "For sure she will boast over this
with us." </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Then Mohammed came up with the
following verses of Quran."God did not make your adopted son as your own
sons. To declare them so, is your empty claim. God's word is righteous and
constitutes true guidance." It follows from this revelation that the
adopter may marry the ex-wife of his adopted son and vice-versa. Thus Muhammad
married Zainab in order to provide a good example of what the All-wise Allah
was seeking to establish by way of rights and privileges for adoption. In this
regard God further said: "After a term of married life with her husband, Allah
permits you to marry her so that it may hence be legitimate and morally
blameless for a believer to marry the wife of his adopted son provided that
wife has already been divorced. That is God's commandment which must be
fulfilled.” Who, among the Arabs, could
implement this noble legislation and thereby openly repudiate the ancient
traditions? Naturally, Muhammad, the exemplar of obedience to God; had to marry
Zainab to establish God’s command. His life was the implementation of that
which he was entrusted to convey to mankind. His life constitutes the highest
ideal, the perfect example, and the concrete instance of his Lord's command.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>The truth<o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Muhammad fell in love with Zainab,
daughter of Jahsh, while she was the wife of Zayd bin Mohammed, his own adopted
son. Once, when he passed by the house of Zayd in the latter's absence, he was
met by Zainab wearing clothes which exposed her beauty. Muhammad's heart was
inflamed. It is reported that when his eyes fell upon her, he exclaimed,
"Praise be to God who changes the hearts of men" and he repeated this
expression at the time of his departure from her home. Zainab heard him say
this and noticed desire in his eyes. Zainab proudly reported this happening to
her husband. Zayd immediately went to see the Prophet and offered to divorce
his wife. Muhammad answered, "Hold on to your wife and fear God."
Thereafter, Zainab was no longer a docile wife and Zayd had to divorce her.
Prophet Muhammad married Zainab Bint Jahsh who was his daughter-in-law. That
was a taboo in pre-Islamic Arabia, and the Prophet of Islam lifted this taboo
in order to satisfy his own lust and fulfil his own desire. For satisfying his
lust he secured several verses of Quran for which believers of Islam would shun
adoption next fourteen hundred years.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Sura al-Ahzab "Muhammad is not the father of any of
your men, but [he is] God's Messenger and the Seal of the Prophets. God is
Aware of everything!" </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
"We married her off to you
so that there would be no objection for believers in respect to their adopted
sons' wives once they have accomplished their purpose with them. God's command
must be done!" </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In the verse, it is stated that
there is a particular purpose for the revelation and action of Muhammad. It is
not for himself, but it is for the future of the Muslim community. It is so
that in future there may not be a problem if anybody (father-in-law) wants to
marry the divorced wife of an adopted son. “We permitted you to marry her so
that it may hence be legitimate and morally blameless for a believer to marry
the wife of his adopted son.” Without adoption, there cannot be any adopted son
either.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
There was other ramification of
this marriage of lust. Zaid Ibn Mohammed was then reverted back to Zaid Ibn Haritha,
on his mother’s name. Mohammed also clarified that such adopted children cannot
get any share of inheritance as a matter of right. On the other hand, Arab
custom and tradition demanded that the adopted son inherit from his adopted
father, like the latter's legitimate children. And since this custom too was
the object of Muhammad's attack, his choice of Zayd as the spear point of the
first reform, would actually make of him -- if he were prepared to give up the
inheritance to which Arabian custom gave him title -- the spearhead of another
Islamic legislation prohibiting inheritance to any but the blood heirs and
relatives of the deceased. This indeed furnished the revelation: "No
believer, whether man or woman, has the freedom to choose otherwise than as God
and His Prophet have resolved in any given case. To do so is to disobey God and
His Prophet, to err and fall into manifest misguidance<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>.” Later on Mohammed did try to help out orphans
by telling that anybody who helps orphans will go to Heaven along with him. But
the damage was done. </div>

country. In a communist country you are one among equal though you do not have
the religious right. You have to keep your religious choice to yourself. In a
Muslim country you are not equal and you will never be, if you are not a Muslim.
Even a Muslim does not have right to question his religion, however wrong it
may be.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">The question of religious freedom is an issue
of major importance at the end of the 20th century as it is regarded as one of
the primary human right. Freedom of religion is universal, self-evident and
inalienable. Indeed, wherever people are not free to believe in the God of their
choice, practice their religion without hindrance or worship God freely, human rights
do not exist. The examples of communist countries of Europe and Asia which
were, until recently, under the sway of state socialism are a constant reminder
of the dreadful conditions under which millions of men were condemned to live
without the right to worship. After fall of Russian empire, socialism is
practiced in only a handful of countries. Still three of the fifteen most
religion abused countries are practicing socialist country. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">But Islamic countries are the worst violator of
religious freedom. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><br />
Islam is not a just religion. It mixes religion with state. It
encompasses all aspects of social, political and economic affairs. It is a society
which has its own laws and codes of conduct which is standing since sixth
century A.D. These archaic laws cannot be modified or even touched. Islam
rejects anything and everything that is alien to its laws. This rigidity leads
to a form of exclusiveness that is hostile to the concept of tolerance. Every
non-Muslim is not destined merely for hell, but must be eradicated and removed
from the face of the earth for being a non-believer. The choice left to him is
either to convert, or face the danger of being eliminated. The same fate awaits
any Muslim who dares to become a convert to another religion which is apostasy.
Apostasy is punishable by death, especially in Islamic countries, i.e.
countries where the state is theocratic. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><br />
Theocratic or not, no Muslim country experiments with democracy. Democracy is
an alien concept. Given a chance to select their own Government, Muslim people will
always vote for rightist Islamist parties. A rightist Islamist party when in
power will disband democracy and usurp power in the name of Islam. Alternately
army takes over the power or revolution throws up a person to power. The new man in power takes help of Islam to establish his totalitarian rule. Ultimately all
Muslim countries are bound to be ruled by a dictator who might be from army,
from revolution or from Islamist political party. Finally dictatorship will
take control. Muslim dictators owe their power from religion. He naturally
strives for establishing law of God, Sharia. Sharia means life by the time of
Prophet. It automatically follows that Koranic verses will decide laws of the
land. These laws are confusing and also open to interpretation. Interpretation
of learned men (Learned men of Muslim theology and not of science.) is
influenced by the leader. Autocracy is strengthened. One autocracy is replaced
by another when previous loses steam. All these autocracies are particularly
harsh on religious freedom.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Democracy implies equality. But equality is
unacceptable in Islam. Non-believers cannot be equal to believers and women are
not equal to men. Even the non-Muslims are not deemed to be equal. The People
of the Book (Jews and Christians) are accepted as second class citizens and
allowed to live in an Islamic state provided they pay the protection tax;
Jizyah. But the pagans, atheists and idolaters are not regarded as fully
humans. According to the Quran, the idolaters are to be killed wherever they
are found. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">In the April 9, 2002 issue, The Wall Street
Journal published the concept of blood money in Saudi Arabia. If a person has
been killed or caused to die by another, the latter has to pay blood money or
compensation, as follow.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

3,333 riyals if a Hindu woman<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">According to this hierarchy, a Muslim man’s
life is worth 30 times that of a Hindu woman. This hierarchy is based on the
Islamic definition of human rights and is rooted in the Quran and Sharia
(Islamic law). How can we talk of democracy when the concept of equality in Islam
is non-existent?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Islam is equally harsh on Christians and Jews. See the following verses:-<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">"And the Jews say, Ezra is the son of
Allah, and the Christians say, the Messiah is the son of Allah; that is what

<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Regardless of any interpretations based on
politico-social circumstances and interests the commandment of the Koran is
clear: the believer has an obligation to fight to death against infidel. No
concept of equality with persons of other faith an possibly coexist with such an
aphorism. This is particularly demonstrated today by the tragic circumstances
of the minority populations that reside in Islamic countries. They are faced
with unrelenting fanaticism and prejudice to the point where these unfortunate
people are migrating en masse to other countries where they hope to find some
tolerance and compassion. Blasphemy rule if read with Sharia gives every
Muslim a right to decide life of every non-Muslim. Blasphemy law tells that any
criticism of Islam or its Prophet is punishable by death. Sharia does not
accept non-Muslim witness against Muslim. So if a Muslim blames any non-Muslim
of insulting Quran then he is doomed unless another Muslim opposes the first
Muslim which is unlikely.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Every practicing Muslim is a fanatic. If not,
he is an apostate. Any country where Muslims are less than 20%, they get
ghettoized and only remain as a law and order problem. When Muslim population
is between 20% and 40% there will start riots and occasional mass murder of
non-Muslims. Once Muslim population is more than 40%, it is a matter of time
that the country will become a 90% Muslim country. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Mohammed distributed captured women to the
soldiers who participated in the raid to capture them. However, Muslims faced a
dilemma after receiving the women as war booty.
They wanted to have sex with the captured women but also wanted to
return them for ransom and therefore did not want to make them pregnant. Some of these women were already
married. Their husbands might have
managed to escape and might be still alive.
It was possible that these people might agree to pay ransom and buy back
their wives. The raiders, therefore, considered the possibility of coitus interrupts
(withdrawing from intercourse prior to ejaculation). Unsure of the best course of action, they
went to Mohammed for advice.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Abu Saeed said: “We went out with Allah’s
Apostle for the attack of Banu Al-Mustaliq and we received women captives from
among the lost Arab tribe and we desired women and celibacy became hard on us
and we loved to do coitus interrupts. So
when we intended to do coitus interrupts, we said, 'How can we do coitus interrupts
before asking Allah’s Apostle who is present among us?" We asked him about it and he said, 'It is
better for you not to do so, for if any soul (till the Day of Resurrection) is
predestined to exist, it will exist." <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Notice that Mohammed did not forbid sex with
women captured in war. Instead, he
indicated that when Allah intends to create anything, nothing can prevent
it. In other words, withdrawal cannot
prevent pregnancy if Allah desires. So Mohammed
was supporting sex with captured women and impregnating them.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span><span lang="EN-US">In the Quran, Mohammed made it legal to do intercourse with slave women, the so-called “right hand possessions,” even if
they were married before their capture. Slave women had no choice. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Mohammed had only one wife Khadijah for 25
years and had a contented conjugal life. But after death of Khadijah, Mohammed
became a lustful person. He went on to marry fourteen times. He had eleven living wives at one time. Some
of his wives were actually captives and Mohammed forced himself upon them. Over
and above he maintained at least four sex slaves. Some important incidences are reproduced.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Ibn Aun has narrated: “I wrote a letter to Nafi
and Nafi wrote in reply to my letter that the Prophet had suddenly attacked
Bani Mustaliq without warning while they were headless and their cattle were
being watered at the place of water. Their fighting men were killed and their
women and children were taken as captives. The Prophet got Juwairiya on that
day." Nafi said that Ibn Umar had told him the above narration and that Ibn Umar was in that army. Mohammed had sent one of his companions; Bareeda bin
Haseeb, to spy on the Bani al-Mustaliq and after assessing that the men of the Bani out for tending the cattle, he had ordered his men to attack. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Juwairiya was one of the captives during the
raid of Banu Mustaliq. When all the prisoners were made slaves and distributed
among the victorious Muslim soldiers, Juwairiyah fell to the lot of Thabit bin
Qais. She was the daughter of Haris, the leader of the clan. Therefore, she
felt disgraced of being made slave of an ordinary Muslim soldier. She requested
him to release her on payment of ransom. Thabit agreed to this, if she could
pay him 9 Auqias of gold. Juwairiyah had no ready money with her. She tried to
raise this amount through contributions, and approached the Holy Prophet also
in this connection. She said to him "0' Prophet of Allah! I am the
daughter of Al Haris bin Zarar, the Lord (chief) of his people. You know that
it is by chance that our people have fallen captive and I have fallen to the
share of Thabit bin Qais and have requested him to release me considering my
status, but he has refused. Please do an act of kindness and save me from
humiliation". The Holy Prophet was moved and asked the captive woman if
she would like a thing still better. She asked as to what was that thing. He
said that he was ready to pay her ransom and marry her if she liked. She agreed
to this proposal. So the Holy Prophet paid the amount of ransom and married her.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">First he raided a population without warning
because they were easy target and wealthy. There he killed unarmed able-bodied
men, plundered their belongings and then enslaved the women and children. Mohammed’s
act of purchasing freedom for Juwairiyah was not a benevolent act. He did it on
condition. Did Juwairiyah had any option? She will be raped either by Thabit or
by Mohammed. Juwairiyah opted for Mohammed. Although Muslims call this
marriage, it was a rape.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Arabs practiced slavery and especially sex
slavery and Mohammed gave it sanction of God. By doing so, he set an example which
became standard practices of the Muslims forever. Today all Muslim terrorist groups
follow the same. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Safiyah was a beautiful 17 years old Jewish
woman who was captured when Mohammed’s troops raided Kheibar. She was the
daughter or Huyeiy Ibn Akhtab, the chief of the Banu Nadir, a Jewish tribe of
Medina , whom Mohammed had beheaded two years earlier along with the men of
Banu Quraiza. The tribe of Banu Nadir had been already banished from Medina and
their properties were confiscated.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Safiyah was married to her cousin Kinana, who
was a young Jewish leader of Kheibar. When Mohammed raided that fortress, he
killed its men and captured the women and children. A Jewish traitor, to gain Mohammed’s
favor and be spared from death, told him that Kinana was the treasurer of the
town and that he used to hide the money in some ruins. Mohammed ordered Kinana
to be tortured to reveal the whereabouts of the treasures and finally killed
him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Then he asked the prettiest woman from amongst
the captives to be brought to him. Ibn Ishaq writes: "The apostle occupied
the Jewish forts one after the other, taking prisoners as he went. Among these were Safiya, the wife of Kinana,
the Khaibar chief, and two female cousins: [sisters of Kinana] the apostle
chose Safiya for himself. The other
prisoners were distributed among the Muslims.
Bilal brought Safiya to the apostle, and they passed the bodies of
several Jews on the way. Safiya's female
companions lamented and strewed dust on their heads. When the apostle of Allah observed this
scene, he said, '<i>Remove these she-devils from me.</i>' But he ordered Safiya to remain, and threw
his cloak over her. So the Muslims knew
he had reserved her for his own. The
apostle reprimanded Bilal, saying, 'Hast thou lost all feelings of mercy, to
make women pass by the corpses of their husbands?'”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Safiyah was taken to Mohammed’s tent. Mohammed
wanted to have sex with her on that very night, only hours after torturing her
husband to death. That night Abu Ayyub al-Ansari guarded the tent of Mohammed.
When, in the early dawn, Mohammed saw Abu Ayyub strolling up and down, he
asked him what he meant by this sentry-go; he replied: "I was afraid for
you with this young lady. You had killed her father, her husband and many of
her relatives, I was really afraid for you on her account". <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">The next day Mohammed covered Safiyah with his
mantle, an act signifying that she is now his. Safiyah was groomed and made-up
for Mohammed by Umm Sulaim, the mother of Anasibn Malik and was taken to Mohammed
who married her in a mock marriage ceremony and raped her. Can this be
considered marriage? No young women would like to jump into bed with an old man
who murdered her father and young husband and many other relatives just the
previous day. That poor woman had no choice; therefore that marriage was
nothing but a mockery of this sacred institution. At that time Mohammed was
close to sixty years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Another victim of Mohammed was Rayhana, a 15
year old girl from the tribe of Banu Quraiza. Mohammed massacred all the men of
that tribe. Then women were brought to him to pick and he chose Rayhana.
Rayhana never married Mohammed and unlike Juwairiyah and Safiyah never feigned
being a Muslim to have an easier life. She preferred to remain a sex slave
rather than a wife to the murderer of her father, brothers and uncles. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Mohammed not only legalized rape but actually
made it a religious act. A Muslim has to wait at least three months before
re-marrying a widow or a divorcee. This waiting period is called Iddah (3
menstrual cycles). But a Muslim can have forced sex with a woman just after
capturing her if she is not Muslim. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Mohammed appointed Malik as a tax collector for
the tribe of Banu Tamim. Malik was a chief of some distinction: a warrior,
noted for his generosity, and a famous poet. Bravery, generosity, and poetry
were the three qualities most admired among the then Arabs. As soon as Malik
heard of the death of Mohammed, he gave back all the tax to his tribe people,
saying “Now you are the owner of your wealth." He was quoted saying: "Today,
your wealth are saved.” Most scholars agreed that he was adhering to the normal
beliefs of the Arabs of his time in which they should cease to pledge their

<span lang="EN-US">Khalid Bin Walid was sent for re-establishing
Zakat from Muslims. He sent his cavalry to nearby villages and ordered them to
call the Azan (call for prayers) to each party they meet and then claimed Zakat.
Malik avoided direct contact with Khalid's army and ordered his followers to
scatter, and he and his family apparently moved away across the desert. He
refused to give zakat, hence differentiating between prayer and zakat.
Nevertheless, Malik was accused of rebellion against the state of Madina. He
was also charged for his entering in an anti-Caliphate alliance with Sajjah, a
self-proclaimed prophetess. Malik was finally arrested along with his clan men,
Malik was asked by Khalid about his crimes. Malik's response was "your
master said this and your master said that" referring to Abu Bakr. Khalid
declared Malik an apostate and ordered his execution. Khalid killed Malik ibnNuwayra
and took his wife. In Medina, ‘Umar told Khalid: “You are enemy of Allah! You
killed a Muslim man and then raped his wife. By Allah, I will stone you".
Shias claim that according to Islam, Khalid should have waited for her to
complete the waiting period of iddah before marrying her. Sunnis believe that
since Malik and his tribe was judged apostates, they were taken captives and
Iddah rules do not apply to apostates. The death of Malik and Khalid's taking
of his wife Layla created a controversy. The controversy was whether Malik was
to be considered Muslim or apostate. If Malik was still a Muslim then rape was
committed; otherwise no. So Muslims can legally rape any woman they capture if
she is not a Muslim. He can rape a Muslim woman as well but after calling her
husband apostate and if necessary killing him<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">It is not that rape was uncommon in mediaeval
history. Rape was used as a mean of terrorizing opponent population. As human
civilization progressed women were treated as equal and slowly progressive
societies accepted equality of sexes. Like racial discrimination,
discrimination on the basis of sex is considered wrong. The whole movement of
woman emancipation was led by religious men. All religion treated women with
respect which finally resulted into modern day conviction of universal equality
of all human being. But Islam is different. Islam does not consider rape of
non– Muslim women is wrong. A Muslim can capture women in war and keep them as
war booty. These women are called "mal e ganimat" or war booty. Women can be purchased from slave market as well. Both types of women are considered "those that right hand possesses." Islam institutionalized
slavery, especially sex slavery. Even today slavery is practiced in all Muslim
countries. Governments, Administrations and even Judiciaries fail to abolish
slavery all together since it is permissible in Quran.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Islam not only allows but also considers obligatory
on a Muslim to deceive when faced with dominance of other faiths and as a
corollary to promote Islam among non-believers. This deception – is known as
'taqiyya'.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">As a doctrine, taqiyya was first codified by Shia
Muslims, primarily as a result of their historical experience. Shias insisted
that the caliphate rightly belonged to the Prophet Mohammed's cousin and
son-in-law, Ali (and subsequently his descendants). Shia is a vocal and
powerful branch of Islam that emerged following Mohammed's death and after the
internal Islamic Fitna wars from the years 656 AD to 661 AD. However, the Shia remained
a minority branch, persecuted by mainstream Muslims or Sunnis. Taqiyya became
pivotal to Shia survival.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Shia performs taqiyya by pretending to be Sunnis
externally, while maintaining Shia beliefs internally to avoid Sunni
persecution, as they constitute only 10% of Muslim population. In Saudi Arabia,
for instance, Shias are deemed heretics, traitors and infidels by many of the
Sunni majority and like other non-Sunni Muslims they are often persecuted.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Several of Saudi Arabia's highest clerics have even
issued fatwas sanctioning killing of Shias. As a result, figures on the Arabian
kingdom's Shia population vary wildly from as low as 1 per cent to nearly 20
per cent. Many Shias, living there, obviously choose to conceal their religious
identity. As a result of some 1,400 years of Shia taqiyya, the Sunnis often
accuse the Shias of being habitual liars, insisting that taqiyya is ingrained
in Shia culture.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Conversely, the Sunnis did not conceal any aspect of
their faith. They were rulers most of the time of history. However, today many
Sunnis are finding themselves in the Shias' place: living as minorities in
countries surrounded and governed by Christians (Western countries), Buddhists
(Myanmer) and Jews (Israel), Atheists (Communist China) and Idolaters (India). Today
Sunnis find them in countries where freedom of religion to all (Western) or
none (Communist) is practiced. Sunnis have also started practicing taqiyya for
concealing their religious beliefs. They show their confidence in democracy and
secularism which is contrary to Islamic faith.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The primary Quranic verse sanctioning deception with
respect to non-Muslims states: "Let believers not take for friends and
allies from among infidels instead of believers. Whoever does this shall have
no relationship left with Allah – unless he guards himself against those Infidels
and their ways, taking precautions." <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Al-Tabari's (838-923 AD) Tafsir, or Quranic
exegeses, is essentially a standard reference in the entire Muslim world. He
wrote: "If you [Muslims] are under their [infidels'] authority, fearing
for yourselves, behave loyally to them, with your tongue, while harbouring
inner animosity for them. Allah has forbidden believers from being friendly or be
on intimate terms with the infidels in place of believers – except when
infidels are above them [in authority]. In such a scenario, let them act
friendly towards them."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The Islamic scholar Ibn Kathir (1301-1373) wrote:
"Whoever at any time or place fears their [infidels'] evil, may protect
himself through outward show." As proof of this, he quotes Mohammed's
companion, Abu Darda: "Let us smile to the face of some people while our
hearts curse them." Al-Hassan said: "Doing taqiyya is acceptable till
the day of judgment." Other prominent ulemas also have extended taqiyya to
cover deeds. Muslims can behave like infidels – from bowing down and
worshipping idols and crosses to even exposing fellow Muslims to the infidel
enemy – anything short of actually killing a fellow Muslim.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Muslims in India swears by secularism. But it is a
taqiyya. Whenever power comes in Muslims hand they will follow sharia where
secularism is taboo.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">None of this should be surprising considering that Mohammed
himself, who is an example of the "most perfect human", took an
expedient view on the issue of deception. For instance, Mohammed permitted
deceit in three situations: to reconcile two or more quarreling parties;
husband to wife and vice-versa; and in war.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">During the Battle of the Trench (627 AD), which
pitted Muhammad and his followers against several non-Muslim tribes
collectively known as "the Confederates", a Confederate called Naim
bin Masud went to the Muslim camp and converted to Islam. When Muhammad
discovered the Confederates were unaware of Masud's conversion, he advised him
to return and try somehow to get his tribesmen to abandon the siege. "For
war is deceit," Muhammad assured him. Masud went back and created distrust
between various tribes until they abandoned the siege. According to this
account, deceit saved Islam during its embryonic stage.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">A poet, Kab bin al-Ashruf, had offended Mohammed by
making derogatory verses about Muslim women. Mohammed exclaimed in front of his
followers: "Who will kill this man who has hurt Allah and his
prophet?"A young Muslim named Muhammad bin Maslama volunteered, but with
the caveat that, in order to get close enough to Kab to assassinate him, he be
allowed to lie to the poet. Mohammed agreed. Maslama traveled to Kab and began
denigrating Islam and Mohammed, carrying on this way till his disaffection
became convincing enough for Kab to take him into his confidences. Soon
thereafter, Maslama appeared with another Muslim and, while Kab's guard was
down, they assaulted and killed him. They ran to Mohammed with Kab's head, to
which the latter cried: "Allahuakbar" or "God is great." <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The entire sequence of Quranic revelations are a
testimony to taqiyya and since Allah is believed to be the revealer of these
verses, he ultimately is seen as the perpetrator of deceit. This is not
surprising since Allah himself is often described in the Quran as the
"best deceiver" or "schemer." <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">According to Islam war against the infidel goes on
in perpetuity, until "all chaos ceases, and all religion belongs to
Allah" (8:39). According to Islam, - The duty of the jihad exists as long
as the universal domination of Islam has not been attained. Peace with
non-Muslim nations is, therefore, a provisional state of affairs only. The circumstances
alone can justify any truce with non-Muslim nations or entities. But it should
be only temporary. There can be no question of genuine peace treaties with
these nations; only truces, whose duration ought not, in principle, to exceed
ten years. But even such truces maybe repudiated unilaterally before they
expire, should it appear more profitable for Islam to resume the conflict.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The concept of obligatory jihad is best expressed by
Islam's world view that pits Dar al Islam (House of Islam) against Dar al Harb
(House of War or non-Muslims) until the former subsumes the latter. Muslim
historian and philosopher, Ibn Khaldun (1332- 1406), articulated this division
by saying: "In the Muslim community, holy war is a religious duty, because
of the universalism of the Muslim mission and the obligation to convert
everybody to Islam either by persuasion or by force. The other religious groups
did not have such universal mission and even the crusade was not a religious
duty for Christians. It was at best a counter attack to defend Christianity.
But Islam is under obligation to gain power over others."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Islam must be in a constant state of war with the
non-Muslim world – which need not be physical, as radicals among the ulema have
classified several non-literal forms of jihad, such as
"jihad-of-the-pen" (propaganda), "money-jihad" (economic)
and love-jihad. Muslims are permitted to lie and feign loyalty to the infidel where
they are in minority but they must continue to further their war efforts
against them. Offers of peace, tolerance or dialogue from extremist Muslims are
just only Taqiyyia.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

teachings of Islam be spread through the aid of sound intellect, valid logic,
and penetrating evidence. If convincing fails then force is used. However, when
both convincing by logic and by force fails against stubborn beliefs and obstinacy
of some persons, it becomes necessary to bring in falsehood like miracles. They
opine that Allah aids His Prophets and saints with power of miracles so that
they are able to impress people to right path. They are displayed only when
there is a great emergency to justify them. In fact, these are used as a last
remedy when all other persuasions fails to convince the 'devil' in man of the
teachings and principles of the divine doctrines of Truth or the laws of God. Miracles
form a great part of Sufi tradition. Obviously, Sufi saints utilized magic and
all kinds of deceit to create miracles. Common illiterate people can thus be
tricked into conversion. Miracles had been used to convert large number of
people in India<o:p></o:p></span></div>

miracles or 'Karamaat' are associated with the missionary works of such

Rampur Boalia in Rajshahi in 1184 AD, is said to have crossed the river wearing
a pair of wooden sandals (kharam). Conversion of large number of people to
Islam is ascribed to this miracle. He is also said to have crossed the river on
the back of a fish. Another story relates to Hazrat Shah Jalal (R) who is said
to have crossed the river into Sylhet along with his disciples on a jainamaz

were spread knowingly about miraculous power of Sufi saints. What force and
coercion could not achieve, what jijiya and religious tax could not perform,

specifically, secularized Muslims. A Muslim can pose secularism but actually
hate non-believers belonging to all other religions or else he is committing
apostasy. A Muslim can vouch for democracy but will opt for Sharia when he has
an option. And Sharia discriminates. A
Muslim may talk of humanity but he is concerned with fellow Muslims only.
Muslims donate more money in philanthropy than rest of the world put together
but this money (zakat) is used only for Muslims and propagation of Islam. But
taqiyya has one benefit. Taquiya permits Muslims to integrate with others and
to learn about humanity, secularism, democracy and so on and so forth. This
enlightenment will slowly bring humanism among some Muslims. It may take years
of education, secularism, democracy & personal freedom to ride over
Taquiya. It will result in evolution of non-practicing Muslims. Only
non-practicing Muslims in large number can reduce the venom of Islam. A
practicing Muslim is dormant extremist. He cannot be trusted even though he
professes his faith in democracy and secularism. It is only <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>Taqiyya.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Every Muslim
missionary believes that Islam is the true religion and considers it is his
solemn duty to spread Islam around the globe. 21<sup>st</sup> century civilized
society permits each of its member freedom of practicing his religion as well
as propagating his beliefs. Every member of the society has the freedom to
choose his religion or no religion. Adherents of all religions and for those
matter even atheists may also preach his belief. This freedom is available in
all civilized countries. So a Muslim in any civilized country can practice and
preach Islam. But freedom of religion does not exist in any Muslim country. Freedom of religion is an alien concept in
Islam. Non- Muslims are just tolerated. No Muslim country allows preaching of
any religion other than Islam. Islam discourages learning of other religions. It
advises its adherents to remain within its flock so that Muslims do not even
know that there are other views. Islam considers conversion from Islam to any
other religion is apostasy and punishable by death. Actually, Muslims in a
Muslim country does not have religious freedom. He cannot opt for another
religion, lest it will be apostasy which is punishable by death.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Islam is not
only spread by violence, it keeps its adherents together through threat of
violence. Violence is integral part of Islam. Though it is not necessary to
prove Islam is violent as it is obvious but still following facts are brought
out to indicate violent nature of Islam.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Mohammed in one
of his last verses directed Muslims to attack people of the Book (Christians
and Jews) if they do not agree to profess the true religion: Islam. This leaves
the door wide open for terrorists today to attack and fight Christians and Jews
because they do not adhere to Islam. That is why we see Muslims all over the
world rejoicing fall of twin towers on 9/11. Mohammed also said in another
verse that if people of the book do not accept Islam then they must pay a tax
for the "privilege" of living under the "protection" of
Islam—submissively or in humiliation. People of the book are lucky. Prophet’s
direction for action against idolaters and atheists is “Catch them and slay
them wherever you find them.” People of books may be killed, converted or
allowed to live in submission. But other infidels are only to be killed or
converted.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">In practice,
however, Muslim rulers did not kill all infidels so that revenue sources are
not dried up. Prudence and necessity was above religious dictum. But religious
approval was always there. Even protection of the people of books could be
lifted whenever desired. Nobody was ever safe under Muslim rule. One and half million
Armenian Christians, five hundred thousand Greeks and two hundred thousand
Assyrian Christians were killed by western educated young Turks between 1915
and 1918. These unarmed defenseless people were original inhabitants of
Anatolia. It was the first case of mega-scale ethnic cleansing in the modern
era. Hitler only duplicated it 25 years later but he never had any religious
sanction. Hitler made all attempts to conceal the genocide. German people have expressed remorse for the
genocide. Turkey of 1915 did not try to conceal the ethnic cleansing, neither Turkey of today felt remorse or apologized.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">There are
numerous cases of massacres of innocent people in the six hundred years of
Muslim rule in India. Tipu Sultan, portrayed as a secular king, lorded over
treacherous murder of tens of thousands of Nairs and Nambudiries of Kerala. Even,
the great King Akbar killed 30,000 Mewar peasants after victory of Chittorgarh.
Practically all Muslim rulers of India used force for conversion or practiced
selective killings. Even today Hindus, Christians and Buddhists are killed,
maimed or converted by force on daily basis in Bangladesh and Pakistan. Rohingia
Muslims are persecuted by majority Buddhists of Myanmar but sixty years back
these Rohingias tried to wipe out Buddhists from Arakan province of Myanmar
with the aim of establishing a Muslim state or joining Pakistan. Not only that Rohingias
never hesitate to murder, rape or loot Hindu Bengalis living among them, even
though they are persecuted themselves.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">India is still
Hindu after six hundred years of Muslim rule, not because Muslim kings were
generous but because they needed flow of revenue and due to inner strength of
Hinduism. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">After the Battle
of the Trench in March 627, Mohammed showed extreme savagery on the Jewish
clan, Qurayzah, his third and final Jewish rivals (he banished the Qaynuqa
tribe in April 624 and the Nadir tribe in August 625). Mohammed entered into a
pact with the Qurayzah tribe before the Battle with Meccans for remaining
neutral. After victory he blamed them for having had dialogues with the Meccans
during the engagement. Mohammed was accuser, Mohammed was the judge and Mohammed
was the executer. Qurayzah tribe was adjudged guilty and when they surrendered
after 24 days of siege, Mohammed ordered execution of all able bodied men. He
did not show mercy or did not exile them (as indeed they requested before
surrendering).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">The sentence: Death
by decapitation of around 900 men and enslavement for the women and children
(he took a beautiful Jewess as his own prize). It was OK for Mohammed, the
tyrant but it was Mohammed, the Prophet.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">The prophet said
the following in Quran about the Battle of the Trench and his treatment of
Qurayzah:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"> <i>God sent back the disbelievers along with
their rage—they gained no benefit—and spared the believers from fighting. He is
strong and mighty.</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"> <i>He brought those People of the Book
[Qurayza] who supported them down from their strongholds and put terror into
their hearts. Some of them you [believers] killed and some you took captive.</i>
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span lang="EN-US">He passed on

<b><u><span lang="EN-US">3. Mohammed

war.</span></u></b><u><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u><span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Throughout the
Quran, Mohammed promised the men in his fledgling Muslim community that if they
die fighting for Allah and for him, Allah will reward them with a
"virgin-rich" Garden.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">In the following
Quranic passage, the Arabic word "jihad” is used to mean trade in this
life for the life to come after death.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"> <i>You who believe, shall I show you a <b>bargain</b>
that will save you from painful punishment?</i> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Ha<i>ve faith in
God and His Messenger and struggle [jehad] for His cause with your possessions and
your persons—that is better for you, if only you knew - He will forgive your
sins, admit you into Gardens graced with flowing streams, into pleasant
dwellings in the Gardens of Eternity. That is the supreme triumph.</i> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">These verses are
found in the historical context of the Battle of Uhud (625), in which Mohammed
lost 70 of his fighters. Thus, he must make the loss of life appear worth the
sacrifice, so he framed their death a bargain. If his jihadists sacrificed
their lives down here, they will be granted heaven where they would be served
by beautiful virgins.</span></div>

<b><span lang="EN-US"><u><br /></u></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Mohammed’s
attacked Meccan caravans six times in one year and sent out a punitive
expedition three-days away against an Arab tribe that stole some Medinan
grazing camels totaling seven raids in 622.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">It must be
emphatically stated that the Meccans never sent a force up to the doorstep of
Medina in the first year since Hijrah—they did later on when they were fed up
with Mohammed’s aggression. It is true that the Meccans gathered forces to
protect their caravans, but Mohammed always confronted Meccan caravans more
than 80 miles away from Medina. (Medina and Mecca are around 250 miles from
each other, taking seven to eleven days of travel by foot, horse, or camel.)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Mohammed either
sent out or personally led seventy-four expeditions, raids or wars from 622 to
632. They range from negotiations (only a few compared to the violent
expeditions), to small assassination hit squads, to the conquest of Mecca with
10,000 jihadists, and to the confrontation of Byzantine Christians (who never
showed up), with 30,000 holy warriors to Tabuk.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Thus, aggressive
military violence sits at the heart of early Islam, in the Quran and Hadith. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">March 624: Uqba
bin Abu Muayt</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Uqba mocked Mohammed
in Mecca and wrote derogatory verses about him. He was captured during the
Battle of Badr, and Mohammed ordered him to be executed. "But who will
look after my children, O Mohammed?" Uqba cried with anguish.
"Hell," retorted the prophet coldly. Then the sword of one of his
followers cut through Uqba’s neck.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">March 624: Asma
bint Marwan</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Asma was a poetess
who belonged to a tribe of Medinan pagans, and whose husband was named Yazid b.
Zayd. She composed a poem blaming the Medinan pagans for obeying a stranger (Mohammed)
and for not taking the initiative to attack him by surprise. When the prophet
heard what she had said, he asked, "Who will rid me of Marwan’s
daughter?" A member of her husband’s tribe volunteered and crept into her
house that night. She had five children, and the youngest was sleeping at her
breast. The assassin gently removed the child, drew his sword, and plunged it
into her, killing her in her sleep.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">The following
morning, the assassin defied anyone to take revenge. No one took him up on his
challenge, not even her husband. In fact, Islam became powerful among his
tribe. Previously, some members who had kept their conversion secret now
declared openly, "because they saw the power of Islam," so
conjectures an early Muslim source that reports the assassination.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Another poet, Kab bin al-Ashruf, had offended
Mohammed by making derogatory verse about Muslim women. Mohammed exclaimed in
front of his followers: "Who will kill this man who has hurt Allah and his
prophet?" A young Muslim named Muhammad bin Maslama volunteered, but with
the caveat that, in order to get close enough to Kab to assassinate him, he be
allowed to lie to the poet. Mohammed agreed. Maslama traveled to Kab and began
denigrating Islam and Mohammed, carrying on this way till his disaffection
became convincing enough for Kab to take him into his confidences. Soon
thereafter, Maslama appeared with another Muslim and, while Kab's guard was
down, they assaulted and killed him. They ran to Mohammed with Kab's head, to
which the latter cried: "Allahu akbar" or "God is great." <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">According to the
hadith, the historical context of these verses from Quran runs as follows and
clarifies "fighting" and "corrupting" the land.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Some Arab
tribesmen visited the prophet, but fell sick in the uncongenial climate of
Medina, so he recommended an old folk belief: drinking the milk and urine of a
camel. Subsequently, they reported to have recovered. However, for some reason,
after departing from Medina, they killed some of Mohammed’s shepherds, turned
apostate, and drove off with prophet’s camels.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">This news
reached him, and he ordered them to be hunted down and brought before him. He
decreed that their hands and feet should be cut off, their eyes gouged out, and
their bodies thrown upon stony ground until they died.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">A dinar, a word
taken from the Roman denarius, was not a small sum, but not exorbitant either,
yet one-fourth of a dinar merits the loss of a hand in Mohammed’s view.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span lang="EN-US">Ibn Umar said
the Prophet had a thief’s hand cut off for a shield worth three dirhams.</span></i><span lang="EN-US"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">The shield was
fairly expensive. The poor in Mohammed’s armies could not afford one.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Some
commentators are quick to say that an "egg" is really a helmet, and
the rope is a ship’s rope, which is sizable and costly. However, the
translation above is usually accepted, and this means that the penalty could be
imposed for trivial thefts. But even if the more expensive items are in view
here, they still do not measure up to a hand.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">This sura was
written after winning a raid on a Arab tribe in December 627. Mouhammed brought
his favorite and youngest wife, Aisha, also the daughter of Abu Bakr, his
right-hand lieutenant in the campaign. They journeyed back to Medina. On their
last day of journey, Aisha went for searching her necklace which she had lost
in the darkness, just as the army was setting out early in the morning. Meanwhile, the man leading her camel assumed
she was in her curtained litter and led the camel along with the army.
Returning, Aisha saw that she was left behind.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">However, a
handsome young Muslim named Safwan saw her and accompanied her back to

death. Stoning is a duty laid down in God’s Book for married men and women who
commit fornication when proof is established, or if there is pregnancy, or a
confession.</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Perhaps the most
gruesome hadith is the following. A woman came to the prophet and asked for
purification (by being punished for her sin). He told her to go away and seek
God’s forgiveness. She persisted four times and admitted that she was pregnant
as a result of fornication. He told her to wait until she had given birth. Then
he said that the Muslim community should wait for two years until she had
weaned her child. When the day arrived for the child to take solid food, Mohammed
handed the child over to the community and ordered the woman’s death by
stoning.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span lang="EN-US">And when he
had given command over her and she was put in a hole up to her breast, he
ordered the people to stone her. Khalid b. al-Walid came forward with a stone
which he threw at her head, and when the blood spurted on his face he cursed
her</span></i><span lang="EN-US">. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Tabari (AD
839-923) is an early Muslim historian who is considered largely reliable by
scholars today. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">A list of Mohammed’s
assets was prepared at the end of his life (horses, camels, milch sheep, and so
on). List records the nicknames of Mohammed weapons. Mohammed nicknamed three
swords that he took from the Jewish tribe Qaynuqa after he banished them from
Medina in April 624: "Pluck Out," "Very Sharp," and
"Death." Two other swords from elsewhere are named: "Sharp"
and "That is wont to sink" (presumably into human flesh). He
collected "Having the vertebrae of the back" sword as booty after his victory at the
Battle of Badr in March 624. <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>He owned one sword called
"Sharp" during Hijrah or Emigration from Mecca to Medina in 622.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Mohammed took
three bows from the Qaynuqa tribe and named them as follows: "Most
conducive to ease, or wide," "white," and "of nab
wood" (species of tree from which bows are made).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Finally, even Mohammed
himself had a nickname. After Tabari lists the positive ones, he
matter-of-factly provides one that is not so positive: "The
obliterator."</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Muslims believe
that Quran is revealed. At that time Arabs used to prize valour, poetry and generosity.
There is no reason to believe that Mohammed could not write the verses himself.
He was a very clever person who used to recite verses to suit his requirement.
It is also possible that he was a psychopath and used to hallucinate and compose
the verses under hallucination. This is most possible situation as Mohammed
used to have fits and his verses were related to his current issues.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">No religious man,
be it Buddha or be it Mahavira or be it Christ assassinated opponents, whipped
adulterers, cut off the hands of thieves, or launched jihads. Buddha and
Mahavira preached non-violence, non-violence to animals as well. Christ
expressed love for God. All saints believed in love of God and love to
humanity. Therefore, Buddhists, Jains, Christians and all fair-minded persons
have the right to question whether the true God can reveal such verses to
support Mohammed’s violence. Whether true God can be so partisan? Whether true
God can ask His followers to practice wife bashing? Whether true God can be so
cruel to advise His followers to cut off hands and feet of people who had
committed crime, and biggest crime being not accepting Mohammed? Islam is
definitely a religion of violence. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">The result is
open to see. Fourteen hundred years of Islamic journey is replete with
violence. The virus of violence unleashed by Mohammed is still flourishing.
Killing of two millions Armenian and other Christians in 1915 by Turks, killing of
millions of Hindus and Sikhs in 1947 during formation of Pakistan, killing and brutalizing
of three million Bengalis (Both Hindu & Muslim) by Pakistani army are only
few examples. The Arabs never tires in asserting their goal of uprooting and
throwing out every single Jew of Israel to sea. Arabs waged three wars with
Israel but lost all three. But if they win any engagement ever, Jews will be
massacred. Boko Haram terrorists of Nigeria, Talibans and Al-Quada of
Afghanistan and Pakistan, ISIS of Iraq and Syria are burning examples of
Islamic violence. The terrorists themselves do not prove anything; it is the
wide supports these terrorists receive from common Muslims population make them dangerous.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Violence in
Islam is obvious. Muslim fanatics are ruling world terrorism. Terrorism is also
practiced by communists or Maoists with an aim of establishing just society.
Terrorism is also a weapon for soldiers of an ethnic group for securing
independence. All type of terrorism needs to be condemned. But terrorism as a
religious philosophy needs to be denounced by one and all. Every practicing
Muslim is a fanatic person. He can turn into a terrorist if there is an
opportunity.</span></div>

<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: small; font-weight: normal; line-height: 115%;">Islam is a
monotheistic and Abrahamic religion. According to Islam it is the true
religion. Islam is based on Quran, the book, believed to be revealed by God to
Mohammed and is considered by its adherents to be the word of God. According to
Quran there is only one God and Mohammed (570 – 632 AD) is the messenger and
the last Prophet. An adherent of Islam is called Muslim or Musolman. They are
also known as Muhamedan in English.<o:p></o:p></span></h2>

<u><span style="line-height: 115%;"><b>Pillars of Islam<o:p></o:p></b></span></u><br />
<u><span style="line-height: 115%;"><b><br /></b></span></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
There are five basic acts in
Islam, considered obligatory for all believers. The Quran presents them as a
framework for worship and a sign of commitment to the faith. They are (1) the
shahadah (creed), (2) daily prayers (salat), (3) alms giving (zakat), (4)
fasting during Ramadan and (5) the pilgrimage to Mecca (hajj) at least once in
a lifetime. All Muslims of different sects agree on the essential details for
the performance of these acts.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>Shahadah<o:p></o:p></u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The Shahadah, which is the basic
creed of Islam that must be recited under oath with the specific statement:
"'ashaduallailahailla-llahuwaashaduannamuhammadanrasulu-llah", or
"I testify that there is no God other than Allah alone and I testify that
Muhammad is his Messenger." This testament is a foundation for all other
beliefs and practices in Islam. Muslims must repeat the shahadah in prayer, and
non-Muslims wishing to convert to Islam are required to recite the creed.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>Salat<o:p></o:p></u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Ritual prayers, called Ṣalāh or Ṣalāt,
must be performed five times a day. Salat is intended to focus the mind on God,
and is seen as a personal communication with God that expresses gratitude and
worship. Salat is compulsory but flexible. This prayer is also called Namaz.
Believers pray five times a day which is time specific. The prayers are recited
in the Arabic language, and consist of verses from the Quran. The prayers are
done with the face in direction of the Kaaba though in the early days of Islam,
Namaz were done in the direction of Jerusalem.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
A mosque is a place of worship
for Muslims, who often refer to it by its Arabic name, masjid. The word mosque
in English refers to all types of buildings dedicated to Islamic worship but there
is a distinction in Arabic between the smaller, privately owned mosque and the
larger, "collective" mosque. Although the primary purpose of the mosque is
to serve as a place of prayer, it is also important to the Muslim community as
a place to meet and study. Muslims are permitted to pray anywhere at specific
time but praying in a mosque along with other Muslims is preferable. Friday
afternoon prayer is considered most sacred. All Muslims try to offer namaz on
Friday afternoon at a mosque.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>Zakāt</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Zakat is giving a fixed portion
of accumulated wealth by those who can afford it to help the poor or the needy.
Freeing captives, slaves or paying debts of the debtors and helping needy
travellers are considered as zakat. Zakat brings Muslims together. It is considered
a religious obligation (as opposed to voluntary charity) that the well-off owe
to the needy because their wealth is seen as a trust from God's bounty.
Conservative estimate of annual zakat collection is about 15 times global
humanitarian aid contributions. All Muslims who can afford must pay zakat.
Zakat is paid on capital assets (e.g. money) and it is 2.5% (1/40 of the value
of capital assets) per year. The Quran and the hadith also urge a Muslim to
give even more as an act of voluntary alms-giving called Sadaqah.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>Fasting<o:p></o:p></u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Fasting from food and drink
(among other things) must be performed from dawn to dusk during the month of
Ramadhan. The fast is to encourage a feeling of nearness to God, and during Ramadhan
Muslims should express their gratitude for and dependence on him, atone for
their past sins, and think of the needy. It is not obligatory for several
groups (Pregnant women, children and unwell) for whom it would constitute an
undue burden. For others, flexibility is allowed depending on circumstances,
but missed fasts usually must be made up quickly.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>Pilgrimage<o:p></o:p></u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The pilgrimage, called the ḥajj,
has to be done during the Islamic month of Dhu al-Hijjah in the city of Mecca.
Every able-bodied Muslim who can afford it must make the pilgrimage to Mecca at
least once in his or her lifetime. Rituals of the Hajj include: spending a day
and a night in the tents in the desert plain of Mina, then a day in the desert
plain of Arafat praying and worshiping God, following the footsteps of Abraham
- spending a night out in the open, sleeping on the desert sand in the desert
plain of Muzdalifah, and then moving to Jamarat, symbolically stoning the Devil
recounting Abraham's actions. Then going to Mecca and walking seven times
around the Kaaba which Muslims believe was built as a place of worship by
Abraham. Finally believers walk seven times between Mount Safa and Mount Marwah
recounting the steps of Abraham's wife, while she was looking for water for her
son Ismael in the desert before Mecca developed into a settlement.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Apart from five pillars Muslims
believe some basic concepts of Abrahamic religions. These are as follows :-</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>Satan<o:p></o:p></u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Satan exists side by side of God.
Satan always tries to take men away from the right way, way of God. Satan advised
Adam and Eve to partake fruit of wisdom which God had advised them not to. Then
God banished Adam and Eve from Heaven.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<b><u>Gabriel and Messengers of God<o:p></o:p></u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Belief in angels is fundamental
to the faith of Islam. The Arabic word for angel means "messenger",
like its counterparts in Hebrew (malakh) and Greek (angelos). According to the
Quran, angels do not possess free will, and therefore worship and obey God in
total obedience. Angels' duties include communicating revelations from God,
glorifying God, recording every person's actions, and taking a person's soul at
the time of death. Muslims believe that angels are made of light. They are
described as "messengers with wings—two, or three, or four (pairs): He
[God] adds to Creation as He pleases...". Angels are countless in number. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>Houries<o:p></o:p></u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Heaven is full of streams of
sweet water, fruits of all kinds and beautiful virgin young girls. These virgin
girls are Houries. In Islam, life in Heaven is depicted as a place of desire. Only
Muslims can go to Heaven. Houries will serve them and fulfil their desire. It
has a tremendous motivating effect.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>The day of Judgement<o:p></o:p></u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Belief in the "Day of
Resurrection", Yawm al-Qiyāmah is also crucial for Muslims. They believe
the time of Judgement is preordained by God but unknown to man. On the day of
judgement, all the dead will be resurrected (Bodily revived) and God will give
them reward or punishment for the deed they had done during their lifetime. The
trials and tribulations preceding and during the Qiyamah are described in the Quran
and the hadith, and also in the commentaries of scholars.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
On Yawm al-Qiyāmah, Muslims
believe all mankind will be judged on their good and bad deeds. The Quran
describes this as, "So whoever does a feather's weight of good will see it
and whoever does a feather's weight of evil will see it." The Quran lists
several sins that can condemn a person to hell, such as disbelief in God and
dishonesty. However, the Quran makes it clear God will forgive the sins of
those who repents if He so wills. Good deeds, such as charity, prayer and
compassion towards animals, will be rewarded with entry to heaven. Muslims view
heaven as a place of joy and bliss, with Quranic references describing its
features and the physical pleasures to come. Mystical traditions in Islam place
these heavenly delights in the context of an ecstatic awareness of God.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<b><u>Finality of Islam<o:p></o:p></u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Muslims believe that Islam is the
complete and universal faith that was revealed by God many times before,
through prophets including Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. Muslims
believe that the previous messages and revelations have been partially
misinterpreted or altered over time. God wanted to intimate mankind what is
correct way of God. So, the verses of the Quran were revealed to Mohammed by
God through the archangel Gabriel on many occasions between 610 AD until his
death on June 8, 632 AD. While Muhammad was alive, all of these revelations were
written down by his companions, although the prime method of transmission was
orally through memorization.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Quran tells Islam is the true
religion. Other Abrahamic religions are deviation from truth. Religions based
on multitude of Gods are infidelity. Atheism is satanic. All are non-believers.
It is religious duty of every Muslim to bring non-believers to the path of
truth, Islam.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>Jihad<o:p></o:p></u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Jihad means "to strive or
struggle" (in the way of God). Jihad, in its broadest sense, is
"exerting one's utmost power, efforts, endeavours, or ability in
contending with an object of disapprobation". Depending on the object
being a visible enemy, the devil, and aspects of one's own sinful behaviour; different
categories of jihad are defined. Jihad, when used without any qualifier, is
understood in its military aspect, i.e. war against non-believers. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Within Islamic jurisprudence,
jihad is usually taken to mean military exertion against
non-believer/non-Muslim/deviant Muslim. Here Islam gets redefined. An ideal
Muslim is required to take up Jihad ostensibly to convince non-believers the
right way of God. A Muslim participating in Jihad is called “Mujahid”. The
Jihad must continue till whole world accepts Islam or liquidated. Since Jihad
is war, a Muslim is free to break truss, trust and laws as long as his aim is true
to Islam. Aim of Jihad is to spread Islam. Quran allows believers to kill
non-believers, to keep their property, to enslave their women and children. And
if Muslim fails in his endeavour, God will reward him to Heaven with Houries
and other pleasures. Concept of Jihad has turned Muslims into a military force.
Quran encourages every able body man to wage war with non-believers. If one is
not so inclined then Quran asks the next person to take up in his place and
punish the person who refuses God’s work. Quran divides the world into Dar-al- Islam
and Dar-al-Harb. The former means land of pure i.e. of Muslims or the land
which is under control of Muslims. The later means land of war, the land of the
non-believers. Jihad must continue till whole World is converted to Dar-al-islam. Wager of Jihad is benefitted both ways. Win,
you become “Gaji”, die in the process, you become martyr. If you win you get
booty including females for sex and if you become martyr, you go to Heaven directly
where you are served by virgin Houries. It is but natural that Islam produced
countless warriors who did not fear death. Today same concept is responsible
for development of Islamic terrorism. “Mujahideen” do not fear death. They are
assured of great afterlife. They are soldiers of death. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Jihad is the sixth (virtual) and
most dangerous pillar of Islam. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>Islam is total way of
life;-<o:p></o:p></u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Islam is not only a religion. It
is a total way of life. The Quran is more concerned with moral guidance than
legal instruction, and is considered the "sourcebook of Islamic principles
and values”. Muslim jurists consult the hadith ("reports"), or the
written record of Prophet Muhammad's life, to both supplement the Quran and
assist with its interpretation. The knowledge of Quranic commentary and
exegesis is known as tafsir.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The Sharia (literally "the
path leading to the watering place") is Islamic law formed by traditional
Islamic scholarship, which most Muslim groups adhere to. Sharia constitutes a
system of rights and responsibilities that are incumbent upon a Muslim by
virtue of his or her religious belief. Sharia is generally based upon Quran. When
Quran or the Hadiths did not clearly specified, Shariah adopted local practice
if it did not contradict Quran. As Muhammad's companions went to new areas,
they were pragmatic and in some cases continued to use the same ruling as was
given in that area during pre-Islamic times. If the population felt comfortable
with it, it was just and they used common sense to deduce that it did not
conflict with the Quran or the Hadith. This made it easier for the different
communities to integrate into the Islamic State and that assisted in the quick
expansion of the Islamic State. Since the Constitution of Medina, drafted by
the Islamic prophet Muhammad, allowed the Jews and the Christians to use their
own laws, they continued to be governed by their own laws and had their own
judges in all Islamic States.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Much of the knowledge about Mohammed
was narrated by Aisha, wife of Mohammed. Aisha raised and taught her nephew
Qasimibn Muhammad ibn Abu Bakr, the grandson of Abu Bakr and the grandfather of
Ja'far al-Sadiq. Aisha also taught her nephew Urwahibn Zubayr. He then taught
his son Hishamibn Urwah, who was the main teacher of Malik ibnAnas. These
people influenced early Islamic knowledge.</div>

<b><u>Law and jurisprudence<o:p></o:p></u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Muslims believe that God is one
and incomparable and that the purpose of existence is to worship God. Religious
concepts and practices mainly include the five pillars of Islam, which are
basic concepts and obligatory acts of worship. It is also obligatory for a
Muslim to follow Sharia or Islamic laws, which touches on virtually every
aspect of life and society, providing guidance on multifarious topics from
banking and welfare, to family life and the environment.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The Islamic law covers all
aspects of life, from matters of state, like governance and foreign relations,
to issues of daily living. The Quran defines hudud as the punishments for five
specific crimes: unlawful intercourse, false accusation of unlawful
intercourse, consumption of alcohol, theft, and highway robbery. The Quran and
Sunnah also contain laws of inheritance, marriage, and restitution for injuries
and murder, as well as rules for fasting, charity, and prayer.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<b><u>Etiquette and diet<o:p></o:p></u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Many practices fall in the
category of adab, or Islamic etiquette. This includes greeting others with
"as-salamu `alaykum" ("peace be unto you"), saying
bismillah ("in the name of God") before meals, and using only the
right hand for eating and drinking. Islamic hygienic practices mainly fall into
the category of personal cleanliness and health. Circumcision of male offspring
is practiced in Islam. Female organ trimming
(Sunnat) is also practiced by some sects. Islamic burial rituals include
saying the Salat al-Janazah ("funeral prayer") over the bathed and
enshrouded dead body, and burying it in a grave. Muslims are restricted in
their diet. Prohibited foods include pork products, blood, carrion, and
alcohol. All meat must come from a herbivorous animal slaughtered in the name
of God by a Muslim, Jew, or Christian, with the exception of game that one has
hunted or fished for oneself. Food permissible for Muslims is known as halal food.</div>

<b><u>Family life<o:p></o:p></u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The basic unit of Islamic society
is the family, and Islam defines the obligations and legal rights of family
members. The father is seen as financially responsible for his family, and is
obliged to cater for their well-being. The division of inheritance is specified
in the Quran, which states that most of it is to pass to the immediate family,
while a portion is set aside for the payment of debts and the making of
bequests. With some exceptions, the woman's share of inheritance is generally
half of that of a man with the same rights of succession. Marriage in Islam is
a civil contract which consists of an offer and acceptance between two
qualified parties in the presence of two witnesses. The groom is required to
pay a bridal gift (mehr) to the bride, as stipulated in the contract.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The Quran limits the number of
wives to four and only if a man could treat them with fairness and equity. Most
families in the Islamic world are monogamous today as the rule was functional
in a warring community where female outnumber men by a factor. According to
Islam, it is lawful for male masters to have sexual relations with female
captives and slaves, regardless of whether the slave woman gives her consent or
not. Actually Muslim men have religious approval for raping non-Muslim woman.</div>

<b><u>Science<o:p></o:p></u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Science, from an Islamic
standpoint, is the study of nature as stemming from Tawhid. In Islam, nature is
not seen as something separate but as an integral part of a holistic outlook on
God, humanity, the world and the cosmos. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Muslims believe that the creation
of everything in the universe was brought into being by God’s sheer command,
“‘Be’ and so it is,” and that the purpose of existence is of human being is to
worship God. Theory of evolution is directly opposing Islamic thought. Man
travelling to moon is not acceptable. Every aspect of a Muslim’s life is
directed. Free thinking is not permitted. A good Muslim is not permitted to mix
with people having contrary opinion. All Muslims must behave like robot.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
It is difficult for a Muslim to
reconcile Islam with science. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<b><u>Economy<o:p></o:p></u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
To reduce the gap between the
rich and the poor, Islamic economic jurisprudence encourages trade, discourages
hoarding of wealth and outlaws interest-bearing loans (usury; the term is riba
in Arabic). Therefore wealth is taxed through Zakat, but trade is not taxed.
Usury, which allows the rich to get richer without sharing in the risk, is
forbidden. Profit sharing and venture capital where the lender is also exposed
to risk is acceptable. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The prohibition of usury has
resulted in the development of Islamic banking. During the time of Mohammed,
any money that went to the state was used to help the poor. Then in 634, Umar
formally established the welfare state Bayt al-mal. The Bayt al-mal or the
welfare state was for the poor, needy, elderly, orphans, widows, and the
disabled Muslims. The Bayt al-mal ran for hundreds of years under the Rashidun
Caliphate in the 7th century and continued through the Umayyad period and well
into the Abbasid era. Umar also introduced Child Benefit and Pensions for the
children and the elderly.</div>

<b><u>State and Religion<o:p></o:p></u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Mainstream Islamic law does not
distinguish between "matters of church" and "matters of
state". The scholars function as both jurists and theologians. Islam
guides how to maintain foreign relation, how to keep internal peace an<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>d practically all aspects of social, religious and political
governance.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
So Islam is in contradiction with
democracy. According to Islam ruler must be a learned person who will rule as
per God’s wishes and His laid-down direction. Ruler is God’s representative.
How can he be elected by common people? Then Islam considers women are unequal
to men. Actually women have only half witness value. They inherit half that of
a man of equal standing. Women are not permitted to go out in the open alone.
They need male relative to accompany.
And non-Muslim have no rights at all in a Muslim ruled country. How can
Islam accept equal right to all citizens? Democracy is therefore, an incompatible
concept to Islam.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>Conclusion<o:p></o:p></u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Mohammed was an intelligent
person. He was not lettered. But he studied societies around him including
Arabs. He was quite conversant with Judaism and Christianity. Possibly he
picked up knowledge of scriptures from his early life trade sojourns. He
sincerely believed that God wants him to take the Arabs to the path of
prosperity. He transformed feuding Arab tribes in a devastating force which
overran half of the world in a century and continued to rule large part of
earth for next fourteen centuries. He tried to remove superstitious practices
from Arab society. Improve personal hygiene. Improve family and social rules. The
rules he incorporated were quite modern to his time. But as human societies
progressed, these rules became outdated. Mohammed did not keep any provision to
improve, modify or develop the faith. Islam is now also deeply rooted in 6<sup>th</sup>
century Arab traditions. Even today Muslims try to wage jihad. A devout Muslim
is a violent man. Devout Muslims internally want to convert every non-believer.
Failing which, he would like to destroy non- believer. If he himself cannot do
then he will support those who did. Devout Muslims will never criticize
terrorist acts unless it is against Muslims. That is why Muslims rejoice in the
misfortune of non-believers. Muslims of Azarbaijan rejoiced the deadly
earthquake in Christian Armenia. Muslims over the world celebrated World Trade
Centre collapse.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Human society is now moving
beyond religion. There is no interfaith rivalry. All are able to accept
religion as individual choice. Atheism is also acceptable. Muslims are also drawn towards modernity.
This is not acceptable to 6<sup>th</sup> century Islam. Muslims are trying to
keep their flock together by declaring jihad. The new Mujahideen are
terrorising the whole World. They particularly want to control power of Muslim
countries to wage war with non-Muslim countries, especially Western Nations.
But the first step is to fight for the power in Muslim countries. So today we
see mayhem in all Muslim countries. Muslims are fighting themselves to
establish pure Islamic state which Mohammed had established. Every group
considers themselves more Islamic than others. All are fighting all others. Islam
is really in danger of losing its way and getting dumped by history. </div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Mohammed was born in Mecca and lived
there for roughly first 52 years of his life (c. 570–622). This period is
generally divided into two parts, before and after declaring himself a prophet.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Mohammed was born about the year 570
A.D. and his birthday is believed to be
in the month of Rabi al-awwal. He belonged to the Banu Hashim clan, one of
prominent and prosperous families of Mecca. The Banu Hashim clan was part of
the Quraysh tribe. Tradition places Mohammed's birth in the year of elephant,
which is named after the failed destruction of Mecca that year by the Ethiopean
Aksumite king who brought elephants with his army.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Mohammed lost his father, Abdullah, six
months before birth. Soon after birth he was sent to live with a Bedouin family
in the desert, as desert life was considered healthier for infants. Mohammed
stayed with his foster-mother, Halimah bint Abi Dhuayb and her husband until he
was two years old. At the age of six, Mohammed lost his biological mother Amina
to illness and became orphan. For the next two years, he was under the
guardianship of his paternal grandfather Abd-al-Mutallib, of the Banu Hashim
clan, but when Mohammed was eight, his grandfather also died. He then came
under the care of his uncle Abu Talib, the new leader of Banu Hashim. During
6th century Mecca there was a general disregard by guardians in taking care of
weaker members of the tribes as time was hard. Mohammed's guardians saw that he
did not starve to death, but it was hard for them to do more for him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">While still in his teens, Mohammed
accompanied his uncle on trading journeys to Syria gaining experience in
commercial trade, the only career open to Mohammed as an orphan. Islamic
tradition states that when Mohammed was either eleven or twelve while
accompanying the Meccans' caravan to Syria, he met a Christian monk or hermit
named Bahira who predicted Mohammed's career as prophet of God.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Little is known of Mohammed during
his later youth, and from the fragmentary information that is available, it is
difficult to separate history from legend. It is known that he became a
merchant and "was involved in trade between the Indian ocean and the
Mediterranean sea. Due to his upright character he was soon noticed. Mohammed acquired
the nicknameof “al-Amin”, meaning "faithful, trustworthy" and
"al-Sadiq" meaning "truthful" and was sought after as an
impartial arbitrator. His reputation attracted Khadijah, a 40-year-old wealthy
widow, to appoint him as her representative for trade. Later Khadijah offered a
proposal of marriage to Mohammed in 595 A.D. Mohammed consented to the marriage.
Marriage between Mohammed and Khadija was a happy one. Khadija bore six
children for Mohammed but only Fatima, a daughter survived till adulthood.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In 605 A.D. Mohammed was involved in
a well-known incidence about setting the black stone in place in the wall of
the Kaba. The Black Stone, a sacred object, had been removed to facilitate
renovations to the Kaba. The leaders of Mecca could not agree on which clan
should have the honour of setting the Black Stone back in its place. They
agreed to wait for the next man to come through the gate and ask him to choose.
That man was 35-year-old Mohammed, five years before his first revelation. He
asked for a cloth and put the Black Stone in its centre. Then he asked all clan
leaders to hold the cloth. The clan leaders held the corners of the cloth and
together carried the Black Stone to the right spot, and then Mohammed set the
stone in place, satisfying the honour of all.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 155.95pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Mohammed adopted the
practice of praying alone for several weeks every year in a cave on Mount Hira
near Mecca. Islamic tradition holds that during one of his visits to Mount
Hira, the angel Gabriel appeared to him in the year 610 A.D. and commanded Mohammed
to recite verses which would later be included in Quran. There is a consensus
that the first words of the Quran to be revealed were the beginning of Surah 96.1</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">. Upon receiving his first
revelations, he was deeply distressed. After returning home, Mohammed was
consoled and reassured by Khadijah and her Christian cousin. He also feared
that others would dismiss his claims as being possessed. Shi'a tradition
maintains that Mohammed was neither surprised nor frightened at the appearance
of Gabriel but rather Mohammed welcomed him as if he was expecting. The initial
revelation was followed by a pause of three years (a period known as <i>fatra</i>)
during which Mohammed felt depressed and further gave himself to prayers and meditation.
When the revelations resumed he was reassured and commanded to begin preaching:
"Thy Guardian-Lord hath not forsaken thee, nor is He displeased."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Aisha reported, "I saw the
Prophet being inspired divinely on a very cold day and noticed the sweat
dropping from his forehead (as the Inspiration was over)". It is possible
Mohammed used to undergo a trance like situation during revelation and later
felt exhausted. Mohammed was confident that he could distinguish his own
thoughts from these messages. Mohammed's mission was mainly to preach what is
revealed to him that is Quran. The Quran commands Mohammed to proclaim and
praise the name of his Lord (only God) and instructs him not to worship idols
or associate other deities with God. There is no God but God (Allah).
Monotheism is the centre theme. Revelations, emphasizes Mohammed to warn the
unbelievers for afterlife (judgment day) punishment. Occasionally the Quran warns
unbelievers about calamities they face in this world by citing examples from
the history of extinct communities. Mohammed not only warned those who rejected
God's revelation but also dispensed good news for those who abandoned evil,
listened to the divine words of Quran and served God. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The key themes of the early Quranic
verses included the responsibility of man towards his creator; the resurrection
of the dead, God's final judgment followed by vivid descriptions of the
tortures in Hell and pleasures in Paradise; and the signs of God in all aspects
of life. Religious duties required of the believers at this time were few:
belief in God, asking for forgiveness of sins, offering frequent prayers,
assisting others particularly those in need, rejecting cheating and the love of
wealth (considered to be significant in the commercial life of Mecca), being
chaste and not to kill newborn girls.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">According to Muslim tradition, Mohammed's
wife Khadijah was the first to believe he was a prophet. She was followed by Mohammed's
ten-year-old cousin Ali ibn Abi Talib , close friend Abu Bakr and adopted son Zaid.
Around 613 A.D, Mohammed began to preach
to the public. Most Meccans ignored him and mocked him, though a few became his
followers. There were three main groups of early converts to Islam: younger
brothers and sons of great merchants; people who had fallen out of the position
in their tribe; and the weak, mostly unprotected foreigners.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">According to Ibn Sad, the opposition
in Mecca started when Mohammed delivered verses that condemned idol worship. However,
the Quranic sources maintain that it began as Mohammed started public
preaching. Even though there were only a few followers, Mohammed became a
threat to the local tribes and rulers of the city, whose wealth rested upon the
Kaba, the focal point of Meccan religious life. Kaba was surrounded by around
300 temples of Arab deities that Mohammed threatened to destroy. Mohammed's
denunciation of the Meccan traditional religion was especially offensive to his
own tribe, the Quraysh, as they were the guardians of the Kaba. The powerful
merchants attempted to convince Mohammed to abandon his preaching by offering
him admission into the inner circle of merchants and establishing his position
therein by an advantageous marriage. However, he refused both.</span><span lang="EN-US"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad#cite_note-Cambridge_1977_36-79"></a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Tradition records at great length the
persecution and ill-treatment towards Mohammed and his followers. A slave of a
prominent Meccan leader Abu Jahl</span><span lang="EN-US"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Jahl" title="Abu Jahl"></a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">, is famous as the first
martyr of Islam; killed with a spear by her master when she refused to give up
her faith. Bilal, another Muslim slave was tortured by Umayyah ibn Khalaf, who
used to place a heavy rock on his chest to force him to re- convert. Mohammed
was ridiculed and taunted but nobody dared to harm him physically. Mohammed was
protected from physical harm as he belonged to the Banu Hashim clan and
protected by his uncle, Abu Talib leader of the Hashim clan.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Mohammed, desperately hoping for an
accommodation with his tribe, either from fear or in the hope of succeeding
more readily in this way, pronounced a verse acknowledging the existence of
three Meccan goddesses considered to be the daughters of Allah, and appealing
for their intercession. Mohammed later retracted these verses at the behest of
Gabriel, claiming that those verses were whispered by the devil himself. This
episode is known as "The Story of the Cranes”. These verses are also known
as- ”Satanic Verses”. Some scholars argued against the historic authenticity of
these verses on various grounds. While this incident received acceptance by
early Muslims, it was strongly objected to by Muslim theologians from the 10th
century onwards. The objections continued on this point until rejection of
these verses eventually became the only acceptable orthodox Muslim position.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">But the fact remained. Though
Mohammed was not harmed, life of few Muslims in Mecca was not safe. In 615 A.D.,
some of Mohammed's followers emigrated to the Ethiopean Aksumite Empire and
founded a small colony under the protection of the Christian Ethiopian emperor.
This was an attempt to save the fledgling Muslim community. Quraysh tribe did
make an attempt to stop the emigration and later on complained to Ethiopean authority
for their banishment. But Christian ruler preferred to protect the first Muslim
colony.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In 617 A.D., the leaders of Makhzum
and BanuAbd-Shams, two important Quraysh clans, declared a public boycott of
Banu Hashim, their commercial rival, to pressure it into withdrawing its
protection of Mohammed. The boycott lasted three years but eventually collapsed
as it failed in its objective. During this period, Mohammed was able to preach publicly
only during the holy pilgrimage months in which all hostilities between Arabs were
suspended.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Abu Talib both died in 619 A.D., the year thus being known as the “year of
sorrow”. With the death of Abu Talib,
leadership of the Banu Hashim clan passed to Abu Lahab, a tenacious enemy of Mohammed.
Soon afterwards, Abu Lahab withdrew the clan's protection over Mohammed. This
placed Mohammed in danger of life; withdrawal of clan protection implied that
blood revenge for his killing would not be exacted. Mohammed then visited Taif,
another important city in Arabia, and tried to find a protector, but his effort
failed and further brought him into physical danger. Mohammed was forced to
return to Mecca. A Meccan man named Mut'im ibn Adi made it possible for him to
safely re-enter his native city.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Many people were visiting Mecca on
business or as pilgrims to the Kaba during holy pilgrimage months. Mohammed
took this opportunity to look for a new home for himself and his followers.
After several unsuccessful negotiations, he found hope with some men from
Yathrib (later called Medina). The Arabs of Yathrib were familiar with
monotheism and were prepared for the appearance of a prophet because a Jewish
community existed there with such belief. They also hoped to gain supremacy
over Jews with help of Mohammed and the new faith. Arabs of Yathrib were also jealous
of Mecca’s importance as the place of pilgrimage. They expected to secure
similar importance for Yathrib with Mohammed. There were already some converts
to Islam there. In June 620 A.D., seventy-five Muslims came to Mecca for
pilgrimage and to meet Mohammed. Meeting him secretly by night, the group made
what is known as the "<i>Second pledge of al-aqabah</i></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">". Following the pledges at
Aqabah, Mohammed encouraged his followers to immigrate to Medina. As with the
emigration to Ethiopia, the Quraysh attempted to stop the emigration. However,
almost all Muslims managed to leave. Yathrib was renamed to Medina (city) of
Prophet or Medina in short.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">First phase of Mohammed’s life ended
here. Bulk of Quran was already written. Concept of Islam and rules governing
life of Muslims were framed up. Up till then, Mohammed tried to preach Islam to
the people in Mecca through reasoning and tried to impress them by his own conviction.
Till now, he did not use violence or deceit for propagating Islam. He could
convert about 150 persons to Islam during his nine years of preaching till he
left Mecca. Now, second phase of his life in Medina was about to begin. In his
second phase of life, Mohammed would not be having peaceful presence of Khadijah,
his only wife for 25 years and his uncle.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In the second phase of preaching of

spirituality, acceptance, and inner cleansing through submission to the word of
Allah. This earlier part of the Quran also dictated many of the rules that
individual Muslims must perform and abide in their day-to-day lives. The Mecca
Quran formed a basis for a religion that bridged some of the gaps and
controversies between the Christians and the Jews. It was an attempt at a
compromise that would appeal to both Jews and Christians. At the same time
pagan Arabs can also get attracted due to its Arab origin. Either way, Mohammed
set about to preach his revelations and gain converts to unify all communities
of Arabs. The major obstacle in Mohammed’s efforts was sound economic condition
of Mecca and most people were quite content with their current way of life.
When people are happy and things are going well, people are usually not open to
change as change may upset the balance or whatever that gives them this comfort
and wealth. With time, Mohammed became more vocal as he was probably very
frustrated that so few were willing to accept his preaching of Allah. This led
to his forced departure from Mecca. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

assassinate him, Mohammed secretly escaped out of Mecca with Abu Bakr. Mohammed
and his followers immigrated to the city of Yathrib, 320 kilometres north of
Mecca, in several steps. Yathrib was soon renamed <i>Madinat un-Nabi</i>,
literally "the City of the Prophet", but <i>un-Nabi</i> was soon
dropped, so its name in English is Medina, meaning "the city".</span><span lang="EN-US"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hijra_%28Islam%29#cite_note-Shamsi-5"></a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> The Muslim year during
which the Hijra occurred was designated the first year of the Islamic Calendar
by Umar in 638 or 17 AH.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">At that time, Medina was inhabited by
several Jew and Arab communities. These people were continuously fighting each
other over last hundred years. The first thing Mohammed did to ease the
longstanding grievances among the tribes of Medina, was to draft a document
known as the “Constitution of Medina”. This established a kind of federation
among the eight Medinan tribes and Muslim emigrants from Mecca. This document specified
rights and duties of all citizens and the relationship of the different
communities in Medina (including the Muslim community) to other communities,
specifically the Jews and other people of the book. It was the first Islamic
state. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Soon Mohammed took a decisive turn
towards Arab nationalism and steered Islam away from other Abrahamic religions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Initially Mohammed promulgated
several ordinances to win over the numerous and wealthy Jewish population of
Medina. These were rescinded by the Jews and they insisted on preserving the
entire Mosaic Law. Jews did not recognize Mohammed as a prophet as well.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">On 11 February 624 A.D., while
praying in the Masjid al-Quiblatain in Medina, Mohammed received revelations
from God that he should be facing Mecca rather than Jerusalem during prayer. Mohammed
adjusted to the new direction, and his companions praying with him followed his
lead, beginning the tradition of facing Mecca during prayer. This was a change
Mohammed incorporated signifying his distance from Jewish people who refused to
accept him. This symbolic gesture made Islam an Arabic religion and soon
attracted more followers.<u><o:p></o:p></u></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In Medina Mohammed faced the
responsibility of providing for a fairly large community without much source of
income. Economically uprooted with no available profession, the Muslim migrants
turned to raiding Meccan caravans, initiating armed conflict with Mecca. Mohammed
delivered Quranic verses permitting Muslims to fight the Meccans. This started
armed conflicts. In ten years from Hijra, Mohammed led or ordered about 200
expeditions, most of which were for loot and subjugation of new land & new
people. During this period Mohammed lost only one battle, battle of Uhud. Series
of victories emboldened Muslims and very quickly Muslim domination expanded
around Medina. Scores of Arab converted to Islam. In 630 A.D. Mohammed
conquered Mecca. Next year he defeated tribes of the East and finally he
defeated northern Arabs and conquered city of Caif in early 632 A.D. Whole of
Arab was under Mohammed’s command by the time he expired.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Initially, Mohammed continued his
preaching and search for converts among various tribes including Jews of
Medina. But life for Mohammed and his followers was difficult due to lack of finance.
This was resolved when Mohammed was revealed; allowing not only raiding of the
trade caravans, but such actions were blessed and raiders were praised. Thereafter
raiding of caravans was a norm. This naturally upset many of the merchants who
were dependent on these caravans for their livelihood. Meccans tried to take on
Muslims by sending at least three expeditions. In the battle of Uhud Mohammed
was critically injured but survived. Mohammed needed fighting spirit of his
followers to just survive. Naturally revelations of this time were violent in
nature. On the other hand, Jewish tribes of Medina rejected teachings
proselytized by Mohammed. Mohammed could not forgive Jews for this. He had
originally ruled that Muslims to pray facing Jerusalem, but the opposition from
the Jews had him replace Jerusalem as the center of faith to Mecca. Non-acceptance
of Islam and Prophet Mohammed made Jews Mohammed’s principal enemy. This
conflict escalated finally, leading to attack of Banu-Nadir Jews by the forces
of Mohammed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">During this period Mohammed started
to reveal Medinan part of the Quran. His newer revelations were more violent
than Meccan verses and had the Jews as the primary focus of this violence. This
Medinan Quran also incorporated justification for violence, caravan raiding, destroying,
looting and enslaving opposing communities and occupying property of the
defeated. Arab tribes who thrived on raiding
& looting were attracted and joined this newer form of Islam as dictated by
Mohammed. These new enthusiasts supplied the bulk of men at Mohammed’s command.
Now Mohammed had to keep this army of new adherents busy and therefore he
continued expeditions one after another. Violence fed violence. Death of
Mohammed stopped the flow of Quran at this stage.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Mohammed was once asked that if two
verses of Quran contradict each other, then which verse should be followed.
Mohammed clarified that later verse supersedes earlier verse. That is why one
must read the whole Quran and not listen to and decide about Islamic preaching only
on quotes of individual Surah. The fact that such Surah exist that have
opposite intent and meanings should be noted so that one can understand the
reality. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Prophet. Quran forbids any change in Islamic way of life. Islam declares any
Muslim as Apostate who tries to bring change. Therefore Muslims are doomed to
live in Sixth century Arab mental frame which is definitely not conductive to
modern life and thinking. The result is confusion, violence and finally
terrorism. Islamic terrorism will continue to trouble all globe as long as
Islam continues<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a> without change</span><span lang="EN-US">.</span></div>
