They keep telling us islam is a religion of peace, and yet we keep reading headlines like the one I read this morning. Israeli family murdered in their sleep, mother, father and three children, one of which was a baby, stabbed to death. http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/03/12/us-palestinians-israel-violence-idUSTRE72B0B920110312 Once the news was made public, thousands of palestinians poured into the streets to celebrate.
Thousands of people celebrating the murder of 5 people in their sleep! http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4041106,00.html
These are not the acts of civilized people. It’s bad enough that a so called religion could produce individuals who could, through it’s rhetoric, justify the murder of five people in their sleep. But it also produced thousands of people who saw such a cowardly and dastardly deed as worthy of public celebration!
In no other belief system calling itself a religion currently practiced in the world today could I find language justifying the wanton murder of others. Every other belief system calling itself a religion that has a million of more adherents, advocates for a morally higher standard of behavior from its followers. Peace, understanding, the betterment of the world and the condition of those living in it. Generally, these are the trademarks of a modern religion.
Islam does not meet this standard. A significant portion of its adherents advocate murder of those who do not believe as they do. Not only do they advocate murder for non believers, they also advocate it as a course of action for their own who do not strictly follow all of their tenants. Such as stoning a woman to death who has been brutally raped by one of their own “religious” faithful.
This is not a religion in my book. This is a system of subjugation. A means of allowing the males of a certain group to justify doing what ever they want to those who oppose them. A system for keeping their women as chattel. A system equivalent to medieval serfdom where the lord of the land could do what ever he choose to those under him and could kill any who opposed him without fear of retribution from the system itself. The difference being that it only seems to take a pair of testicles to be a lord in this system.
If islam wants to be considered a legitimate religion by the rest of the world, all these practitioners I keep hearing about who are supposedly peaceful will have to stand up and forcefully call “bullshit” on the radicals in their midst. They will have to ostracize them. They will have to point them out and help stamp them out.
Until that day happens, islam is worse than Jim Jones to me. At least he only killed his own followers.
