Side note: I actually know people in Winnipeg CANADIAN NEWSPAPER PUBLISHES HATE-FILLED ATTACK ON ISLAM ----- ISLAM ALLOWS FOR NO OTHER FAITH By: J. Craig, The Winnipeg (Canada) Free Press, 1/13/2001 http://205.200.191.20/cgi-bin/LiveIQue.acgi$rec=38603?search Or search the "Faith" section of http://www.winnipegfreepress.com. ...the core doctrine of Islam allows for no other faith to exist peacefully alongside it. The key factor in understanding Islam is to realize that it must be examined in the religious and cultural context of seventh-century Arabia. Mohammed, its founder, raised the seventh-century Arabian culture to the status of divine law. In reality, Islam is the deification of seventh-century Arabian culture. Islam imposes this culture in its politics, family affairs, dietary laws, clothing, religious rites and even its language. In Mohammed's Arabia, the sheik or chief of the nomadic tribes had absolute authority and that is why Islamic countries today are inevitably ruled by dictators or despots... ...Muslims claim that Allah is the same God as Christians and Jews worship, but that is false. Allah is a purely Arabic term referring to the Arabian moon god. It was one of the many deities that already existed in Mecca, Arabia before Mohammed, and it was represented by a black stone. When he later took control of Mecca he destroyed all the idols in the Kaaba (the holy place in Mecca) except the stone deity, the moon god Allah. The symbol of its worship in pre-Islamic Arab culture was the crescent moon that is also on the flags of every Islamic nation today. Mohammed, the prophet of Islam was born in AD 570 in Mecca and died in AD 632. At the age of 40, he supposedly started receiving revelations from the angel Gabriel, but in the Muslim 'Bible', the Koran, there are four different contradicting accounts of what happened. These revelations were: that there was no god but Allah; that mankind were slaves of God; that people would be judged or rewarded eternally based on their deeds; and, later, he was told to rob passing caravans nearby. The Koran and history report that he fought over 66 battles killing tens of thousands of people, including the beheading of 1,000 captured Jewish men at one time... ...Concerning the Koran itself, historian Edward Gibbon has described it as "an incoherent rhapsody of fable, and precept, and declamation, which sometimes crawls in the dust, and sometimes is lost in the clouds"... ...Another reality in Islam is that women are considered mere property in the more fundamentalist sects. Perhaps as many as 75 per cent of Muslim women suffer female circumcision which is a most barbaric and painful ritual designed to make them obedient and docile. Islamic law today includes torture, political assassination, the cutting off of hands, feet, ears, tongues, heads and the gouging out of eyes, all because these kinds of atrocities were part of the seventh-century Arabian culture. In conclusion, while the devout Muslim believes that the doctrines of Islam were sent from heaven, Middle East scholars have shown beyond all doubt that every belief and ritual can be traced back to pre-Islamic Arabian culture. Therefore, the religion of Islam is false, yet it is the fastest-growing religion worldwide and it is the second largest, too -- and within Europe, as well. This reality is an ominous threat to our western way of life and this was chillingly revealed in a statement released by Reuter's news service in October of 1999 where a Muslim leader told Roman Catholic Archbishop Bernardini of Izmir of Turkey that: "Thanks to your democratic laws, we will invade you. Thanks to our religious laws, we will dominate you." ACTION REQUESTED: (As always, be firm but POLITE. Hostile responses can and will be used to further harm the image of Islam and the Muslim community.)

AsalamAlay.com Everybody... As A muslim typing to you from downtown Toronto Canada, I can only LAFF at the ignorance of the gentleman who penned the above article. I feel sorry for him. I think he is a living example of the 'Jahiliya' people who lived in the 7th century that he is fond of and referencing in his article. However MY contribution is thus: Please do NOT email the SAME text message word for word as your fellow muslims. I was watching 60 minutes the other night and they brought up a fact in the 'Letters' Section at the end of the show. That they received 50 letters all expressing the same view but EVERY letter was worded the exact same way...word for word. So there's Mike Wallace on tv saying something like, 'People, if you're gonna organize a letter writing campaign, at least be a little less obvious about it.' Good Point hunh? Food for type...er..thought. Your Bro in T.O., ~ HiMY! ~ pronounced Him-Me. |
