Imani is an Iranian writer now living in the USA. He is a former Muslim who has written books and articles on the Islamic threat to civilization. His website is a good place for an 'infidel' to read about what Islam truly is, since it divulges information from a person who fled the cult, and found refuge in a country with a First Amendment free speech right, premised on the principles which are the antithesis of what Islam is all about. Imani is hardly alone in leaving Islam. In Africa for example, literally thousands of Muslims each year, are exiting the Arab pagan cult and submission to the Meccan moon deity Al-Allah, and joining Christianity. They are doing so to save themselves, their sanity, and their families. Good for them. Imani, like this African exodus, was one of those smart enough, strong enough, and determined enough, to escape the death cult of Arab and Muslim fascism.
Imani recently wrote an article on why he left Islam. It is worth reading. The article highlights the basic properties embedded in a 7th century celestial cult from Mecca, which purports to demand submission and ritualization to the moon deity of Mohammed's family. Any rational, intelligent person would not call such a program a 'religion', anymore than GlobaloneyWarming fascism is a religion, or the entreaties of Tom Cruise and Scientology mimic those of a true religious faith. Islam is simply a domineering, communal fascism, dedicated to destroying the individual and ordering society along rigid, unthinking, and irrational ritualization. Islam demands obeisance to cult practices and leadership. It shares extraordinary similarities with Nazism and Russian Fascism, branded as Communism.
As Imani wrote: 'From very early on, I was troubled by Islam. It labeled people who were all alike differently and built walls separating them instead of bringing them together. Islam, the dominant religion of my native country, stigmatized non-Muslims and even persecuted them.' There is no Golden Rule, no ethics of tolerance or gratitude within Islam. It is simply a cult which demands power, submission, and the evisceration of a person's dignity and intelligence. There is no free will whatsoever in the Muslim cult. Al-Allah, the moon deity, knows-all, determines-all, and decides on all matters. Without free will, you don't have a modern society composed of freedoms, separation of church and state, free speech, or individual initiative. You have a kool-aid drinking cult.
'The God of the monotheist is a hands-on God. And Islam's Allah is extremely hands-on. He leaves virtually no room for anything or anyone to do anything without his full knowledge and authorization. In the Quran, it is explicitly stated that not even a leaf falls from a tree without the decree and knowledge of Allah -- just one of innumerable assertions that define the all-everything Islamic superhuman.'
A fascism by its own immoral and illogical nature, is violent, expansionist and prone to war. It has to be to survive. Without 'spoils', 'conversions', 'booty' and the lure of something interesting [gold, women, land], the cult and its inner irrationality, will simply collapse into sects, feuds, civil war and bankruptcy. Nazi Germany in 1939 was bankrupt. So too was the Soviet Union by the early 1970s. Most Muslim states would be utterly destitute if not for the oil and resources developed by Western skill and expertise: 'Islam is a creed of a primitive age. It is fixated in time and place; it harbors the ambition of taking the 21st-century world back fourteen centuries and ruling it by its dogma of intolerance, injustice, and death. Yet Islam is not only an obsolete vestige of a defunct era, but itself is an infinitely fractured belief that can hardly put its own home in order. The numerous Islamic sects are at each other's throats; sub-sects and schools despise one another as much as they hate the non-Muslims. Hatred, not love, drives Islam.'
Islam's internal civil war[s] are interminable and date back to 656 AD when the party of Ali split with the Orthodox or Sunni cult then governing the burgeoning and expanding Islamic empire. The only way to hold together such an incongruous creation as an Arab fascism is through external warring; hating an 'enemy' or 'enemies' [Jews, Christians, Blacks etc.]; and plundering the wealth of others – something that Islam has always done, negating the myth of the Islamic Golden Age. There never was one. There was however, a lot of pilfering, raping, devastation and squatting on richer lands. To galvanize the 'Ghazi' or Muslim warrior to war and to conquer, Islamic liturgy mandates Jihad and promises endless terrestrial and 'heavenly' bounty for those who kill to expand the Al-Allah cult:
'Islam glorifies death by calling many of its martyrs the solders of Allah. Islam preaches superiority of the "we" and inferiority of the "other." It is a creed steeped in superstition, demands blind obedience to authority, and sanctions just about every form of freedom -- the very precious gift of the Creator Ahuramazda that makes us humans. Everything in Islam is in black and white. One is either Muslim -- good -- or non-Muslim -- bad. Men are superior; women are subservient. This life is worthless and should be offered for the pleasure of Allah as defined by the clergy.'
Not all Muslims are Ghazis fighting to end non-Muslim civilizations, earnestly searching martyrdom to acquire power in this life; and ageless pleasures in the next. But many millions are. Out of 1.6 billion Muslims worldwide, a clear majority want Sharia Law imposed on their homelands of residence – including those Muslims living in Western states. There is nothing moderate, or modern about 11th century codified Sharia Law. Even if many of these Muslims in the West want Western laws, along with Sharia adoption, the point is obvious. Sharia law and Islam have nothing in common with the modern Western world. Nothing. Even accepting a tithe of Sharia law is an abdication to a pagan fascism. The Western world does not need Islam, just as it does not need mystical Confucianism, irrational, meditative and largely useless Hinduism, or fascistic Shinto theology with its 7.000 quite unproductive and utterly barren 'gods'.
Not all Muslims are desultory idiots. But too many are. As Imani pleads:
'I am not against Muslims. I condemn Islam and those who support and promote it. In the same sense, I am not against slaves, but I am against slavery and those who advocate and advance it. The very practice of Islam is tantamount to perpetuating and practicing slavery. Slavery enslaves the body, while Islam entraps the mind. Both ideals and practices are abhorrent and detrimental to the realization of our highest hopes as human beings.'
Islam enslaves both the mind and the body. The mind of the Muslim cult member is lobotomized. Bodies of non-cult members are still enslaved today in Africa, and parts of Asia and the Near East. From 1000 AD to 1900 AD, some 11 to 15 million Blacks and 10 million Whites were sold into the slave markets of Islam. This is a natural outcome of a non-industrialized, poor, backwards and corrupt theology. It is also an obvious indictment of Islam and its implementation of immorality and fascism. As Imani well knows, Islam is the anti-thesis, shall we say the anti-Christ of the Western world.
One thing should be clear when dealing with a fascism – you destroy it through war, not group therapy, Obama speeches extolling the cult; nor with UN declarations of love and solidarity. I am sure Imani would agree with that.
