ISLAM ALLOWS FOR NO OTHER FAITH

...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.)

INACCURATE and offensive attack on Islam and the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). Demand
