ISLAM IS NEVER A RELIGION OF PEACE

Sir,

I want to react quite sharply to the newspaper article titledd:  ‘WE COME IN PEACE – SIET’ published by the Times of Swaziland, dated November 24, 2015 – Page 7. In the article, the Swaziland Islamic Education Trust (SIET), through their mouthpiece, a certain Mr Saeed Matsebula, sought to dispel fears with regard to Islam being seen by many as a religion of war, strife, anger and rampant violence throughout the world.
In the article, SIET unequivocally denied that Islam is really a religion of war and violence. According to them, Islam is a religion of peace and good neighbourliness. This is not true.
Islam not only condones violence; it commands it. A tree is known by its fruit. The fruit of Islam is 1 400 years of violence and bloodshed around the world.

The Quran teaches: “Fight and slay the Pagans wherever you find them and seize them, beleaguer them, lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war)” – SURAH 9:5. SURAH 5:33 also says, “The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, strive with might and main for the mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet, or exile from the land: that is the disgrace in this world and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter”.
I do not have time to enumerate the uncountable episodes of violence that have been staged by Islamic extremists throughout the world, in the name of obeying their god, whom they call Allah. The highest honour in Islam is to die a martyr killing Christians and Jews whom they call infidels. The one who does this awakes in an Islamic heaven surrounded by 70 virgins.
Muhammad the founder of Islam, who was a polygamist with thirteen wives, slaughtered thousands of people in establishing Islam and spreading Islam.
He told his followers: “He who relinquishes his faith, kill him. I have been ordered by Allah to fight with people till they testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is his messenger.”
Muhammad’s life can be divided into two parts: the years of tolerance in Mecca and the years of aggression in Medina.
The Quran is basically about those two parts, which is why at times the Quran seems to indicate that Islam teaches its followers to live at peace with their enemies. When Muhammad began to preach his religion to the people, he believed that a peaceful religion was a good scheme for attracting people to the teachings of Islam. When he realised that his attempts to win people to his religion by peaceful means were unsuccessful, he then resorted to violence and jihad (holy war), winning people to his religion by the sword.
This is what is happening today in the Republic of Nigeria, where Islamic fanatics dubbed ‘Boko Haram’ are recruiting people to Islam by waging an unending war, abducting innocent girls into forests where they are not only raped and shamefully reduced to zero, but are forcefully kept there, so as to be indoctrinated with the teachings of Islam.
The god of Islam is totally different from the God we know. They call their god ‘Allah’. The name Allah came from an Arabic word that had to do with the worship of the moon god in pre-Islamic Arabia. In Islam, Allah is unknowable. He is so exalted that no man can ever personally know him. The Quran tells us that the god of Islam works with Satan and demons to lead people astray in order to populate hell which he created (Surah 6:39, 126; 32:13; 43:36-37).
The basic teaching of the Quran, which is  being distributed free of charge in the country, is that Allah told Muhammad to kill and maim anyone who did not believe in Allah or in Muhammad his prophet. Islam follows a theology of triumphalism – the dominance of one’s nation, ideology or religious creed over another. To a Muslim, it is Allah’s will for Islam to rule the world.
This word ‘Islam’ does not mean peace. It means submission. Their key objective is for everyone to submit to them. That is why the Islamic prayer tower is the highest point in every city. It must have a position of physical supremacy.
In conclusion, I wish to state that we are very blessed as a country in that God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, appeared in a vision to our King Somhlolo and showed him two things: money and the Bible. God advised our king that as a nation we should choose the Bible and only the Bible not the Quran or whatsoever.
Swaziland, because of her sheer vulnerability, which is stemming from the fact that she is a ‘poor’ country and as such she is finding herself in a position of being a professional beggar, now finds herself in a very difficult position: either to obey the God of Abraham, Isaac or Jacob, or trade that belief with following Islam because the owners of Islam are the Haves (they own oil) and we are the Have-nots.
They come in peace, ‘yes’, but it is only for a short season. They are still establishing themselves. Once that is over, Swaziland will realise that peace and Islam are two things that are mutually exclusive. And at that time, it will be very late to make any reversal. It will only be a hopeless situation like what is happening in Nigeria and Somali, to mention a few countries.
It is so difficult for them to deal decisively with Boko Haram and Al Shabaab, organisations which began as peaceful entities under the banner of Islam but are now a cancer, not only to these countries but to the world as a whole.
Show me a peaceful member of Islam then I will show you a hypocrite of Islam.

Islam is worse than Christianity: -James Kirk Wall

When Christianity is criticized and ridiculed, no one mentions anything about Islam. When Islam is criticized and ridiculed, people scream, “What about Christianity? Radical Muslims are just doing what Christians did 400 years ago!” While it’s true that 2015 Saudi Arabia does bare striking resemblance to 1692 Salem Massachusetts, how is that supposed to be a shield against Islamic criticism?

The truth is that today Islam is far worse than Christianity, especially for free thinkers. It represents the greatest obstacle and threat to free speech, equality for women, individual liberty, and human rights in general than any other belief system. There’s nothing “moderate” about millions of Muslims believing that people should be killed for adultery, homosexuality, or leaving Islam. The number of people who believe this should be zero.

There is commonality between Christianity and Islam. Both stem from the Torah, the five books of Moses, which is part of the Old Testament. A despicable book of perpetual ignorance and violence that condones both slavery and murder. The Old Testament represents the same god as Jesus and the Prophet Mohammad.

Many compare the number of violent passages in the Bible with the Quran and say, “Look! The Bible has more!” That’s like comparing the Old Testament with the New and saying, “Look! The Old Testament has more!” But the Quran, like the New Testament, is not in competition with the Old, it’s meant as an extension of the Bible. This means that the horrible passages in the Quran are to be accumulated with what’s in the Bible. It’s not less hatred and violence, it’s more.

What makes the Quran arguably worse? A woman’s testimony in court is worth half a man’s.

Quran 2.282 “let his guardian dictate with fairness; and call in to witness from among your men two witnesses; but if there are not two men, then one man and two women from among those whom you choose to be witnesses, so that if one of the two errs, the second of the two may remind the other.”

According to this passage, women are stupid and can’t be trusted. Get two male witnesses. But if you can only get one, there needs to be two women to equal one man. In other words, in legal proceedings a woman’s word is worth half a man’s. And why two women? Because if one screws up, the other can help her. Does the same consideration apply to a man? No.

When it comes to hatred for non-believers, the Quran is a constant drum beat. Not even two pages into it and there’s already a threat of violence.

Quran 2:23. And if you are in doubt as to that which We have revealed to Our servant, then produce a chapter like it and call on your witness besides Allah if you are truthful. 2:24. But if you do (it) not and never shall you do (it), then be on your guard against the fire of which men and stones are the fuel; it is prepared for the unbelievers.

And why are there non-believers?

Quran 2:6. Surely those who disbelieve, it being alike to them whether you warn them, or do not warn them, will not believe.
2:7. Allah has set a seal upon their hearts and upon their hearing and there is a covering over their eyes, and there is a great punishment for them.

So for those who don’t believe, rather than intervening to convince them, the all-powerful Allah sets a seal upon their hearts, hearing and eyes, and there is great punishment for them. So as it turns out, the great creator of the universe is a sadistic schmuck who intentionally makes people not believe in him so that he can torture them later.

One of the greatest reasons that Christianity is arguably better than Islam is that Jesus didn’t have a thing for under-aged kids. The so called Prophet Muhammad as an old man had sex with a 9 year old girl named Aisha. But apparently that’s not creepy enough to keep away a billion followers, just as Joseph Smith being a pedophile isn’t a deal breaker for the Mormons.

The truth is that the world would be better off without Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. But instead we have hordes of blind followers unable to rise above their childhood indoctrination, shameless idiots shouting out “Judeo-Christian values!” while having no idea what that even means, and shameless apologists claiming that the horrid crap that infests the Quran doesn’t matter because, hey, look at these Buddhists that were killers, and hey, that mostly Muslim country Indonesia is such a tribute to freedom and equality (it’s not.)

So how can we drastically reduce the extremism which infests Islam far more than Christianity in modern times? The reason that Christians are able to act peaceful and civilized is due to knowledge of secular philosophy and ignorance of their own religious text. What turned Christians around is what we refer to as the Renaissance, a rebirth of ancient philosophy that promoted human values and ideas. The world needs Islam to have its’ Renaissance, and there’s an abundance of ancient Islamic philosophers to provide the kindle.

This isn’t to say that there isn’t any noble philosophy in the Bible or the Quran, but it’s intermingled with madness. Replace the madness with the greatest reasoning of mankind throughout the ages, and now you have something worth believing in.

“We ought not to be embarrassed of appreciating the truth and of obtaining it wherever it comes from, even if it comes from races distant and nations different from us. Nothing should be dearer to the seeker of truth than the truth itself” – Al-Kindi
