Clash of Civilizations
In recent months, my entire thinking regarding Muslims has evolved from curious cultural inquisitiveness to patient tolerance to outright disdain for everything they believe in and stand for. I tried to understand and be patient with their dark-age culture and belief system. I tried to comfort myself with the thought that if only Muslims understood Christians or Jews or Buddhists, they could at least learn to respect other peoples’ differences and eventually get along.
Wrong. Muslims want me dead by my very existence as belonging to any “ism” that isn’t Islamism. Muslims are very devout to the idea of wanting me and my family, my friends and my fellow countrymen dead. The whole stupid billion believers in a child-molesting warlord named Mohammed can kiss my American ass. Line ’em up, and tell ’em to pucker.
You see, it isn’t a clash of civilizations. Such a phrase implies that there are TWO civilizations in struggle against one another. Its not. I live in the civilized world. Those nations under the rule of Islam are not civilized- they are hopelessly backwards and have contributed almost nothing to the modern age of science and technology. In MY civilization, we lock up child molesters who try to take 6 year old girls as a wife. In Islamic nations, they made a child-molester named Mohommed the master of a whole new religion that excuses killing and lying as the will of God.
But don’t take MY word for it. Here are the words of Wafa Sultan, a woman who came to America to escape the evil tyranny of Islam. This woman was brave enough to say the following on Al-Jazeera, and for saying it, she will certainly receive a death warrant. Michelle Malkin pointed me to the MEMRI site.
Wafa Sultan: “The clash we are witnessing around the world is not a clash of religions, or a clash of civilizations. It is a clash between two opposites, between two eras. It is a clash between a mentality that belongs to the Middle Ages and another mentality that belongs to the 21st century. It is a clash between civilization and backwardness, between the civilized and the primitive, between barbarity and rationality. It is a clash between freedom and oppression, between democracy and dictatorship. It is a clash between human rights, on the one hand, and the violation of these rights, on other hand. It is a clash between those who treat women like beasts, and those who treat them like human beings. What we see today is not a clash of civilizations. Civilizations do not clash, but compete.”

Host: “I understand from your words that what is happening today is a clash between the culture of the West, and the backwardness and ignorance of the Muslims?”
Wafa Sultan: “Yes, that is what I mean.”
[…]
Host: “Who came up with the concept of a clash of civilizations? Was it not Samuel Huntington? It was not bin Laden. I would like to discuss this issue, if you don’t mind…”
Wafa Sultan: “The Muslims are the ones who began using this expression. The Muslims are the ones who began the clash of civilizations. The Prophet of Islam said: ‘I was ordered to fight the people until they believe in Allah and His Messenger.’ When the Muslims divided the people into Muslims and non-Muslims, and called to fight the others until they believe in what they themselves believe, they started this clash, and began this war. In order to start this war, they must reexamine their Islamic books and curricula, which are full of calls for takfir and fighting the infidels.
“My colleague has said that he never offends other people’s beliefs. What civilization on the face of this earth allows him to call other people by names that they did not choose for themselves? Once, he calls them Ahl Al-Dhimma; another time he calls them the ‘People of the Book’; and yet another time he compares them to apes and pigs, or he calls the Christians ‘those who incur Allah’s wrath.’ Who told you that they are ‘People of the Book?’ They are not the People of the Book, they are people of many books. All the useful scientific books that you have today are theirs, the fruit of their free and creative thinking. What gives you the right to call them ‘those who incur Allah’s wrath,’ or ‘those who have gone astray,’ and then come here and say that your religion commands you to refrain from offending the beliefs of others?”

“I am not a Christian, a Muslim, or a Jew. I am a secular human being. I do not believe in the supernatural, but I respect others’ right to believe in it.”
Dr. Ibrahim Al-Khouli: “Are you a heretic?”
Wafa Sultan: “You can say whatever you like. I am a secular human being who does not believe in the supernatural…”
Dr. Ibrahim Al-Khouli: “If you are a heretic, there is no point in rebuking you, since you have blasphemed against Islam, the Prophet, and the Koran…”
Wafa Sultan: “These are personal matters that do not concern you.”

“Brother, you can believe in stones, as long as you don’t throw them at me. You are free to worship whoever you want, but other people’s beliefs are not your concern, whether they believe that the Messiah is God, son of Mary, or that Satan is God, son of Mary. Let people have their beliefs.”

“The Jews have come from the tragedy [of the Holocaust], and forced the world to respect them, with their knowledge, not with their terror; with their work, not with their crying and yelling. Humanity owes most of the discoveries and science of the 19th and 20th centuries to Jewish scientists. Fifteen million people, scattered throughout the world, united and won their rights through work and knowledge. We have not seen a single Jew blow himself up in a German restaurant. We have not seen a single Jew destroy a church. We have not seen a single Jew protest by killing people. The Muslims turned three Buddha statues into rubble. We have not seen a single Buddhist burn down a mosque, kill a Muslim, or burn down an embassy. Only the Muslims defend their beliefs by burning down churches, killing people, and destroying embassies. This path will not yield any results. The Muslims must ask themselves what they can do for humankind, before they demand that humankind respect them.”
Islamic preachers are calling her words- words, mind you!– something that is “harming Islam more than it was harmed by the cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad.” Hundreds died because Islamists do not and can not abide humor or criticism for their beliefs. The video on the MEMRI site has been viewed over a million times. And its all in Arabic.
Criticism and cartoons will destroy any belief system that is so flimsy that it can’t withstand- cartoons and criticism.
I really wish you would do your research on Islam before publishing such ignorant rhetoric.
the truth is that the prophet Muhammad (pbuh) brought peace to arabia; he broke cycles of violence that had been going on for centuries, and united the arabs under the simple message of believing one God (notably the same God as the Jews, Christians and Sabians).
as for him being a child molester – you obviously don’t know much about his life. He was offered the hand of his close companion’s daughter in marriage when she was, and he accepted this legal contract. He did not enter a relationship with her until she was much older, and the marriage was not consumated until she had entered her mid-teens and was a woman.
i suggest you read “Muhammad: his life based on the earliest sources” for an accurate historical account by Martin Lings, and decide for yourself what kind of a person he was, rather than following the example of many “Muslims” who have strayed far from his teachings.
Please don’t be another brainless sucker who munches on the filthy scraps of society fed by the media. do some intellectual research for yourself.
sincerely

I have done quite a bit of research and I stand by my assertions that Muhammad (fleas be upon him) was both a child molester and a bloodthirsty warlord.
I suggest that you read The Truth About Muhammad written by Robert Spencer. Islam is a backwards religion, its laws are inhuman, and its followers are barbarians.
