The Koran sanctions pillage, looting, ransom, and the rape of captive women as an incentive to join in jihad or "holy war"
The Koran allows a man to have up to four wives -- at any one time. He can divorce a wife by simply saying so 3 times
Mohammad had as many as 25 wives. One was six when they married; he was 54. He consummated the marriage when she was 9
Mohammed allowed temporary marriage "for three nights" or more, so that soldiers in the field could "marry" prostitutes
In Islam, the definition of what is "right" or "just" is not fixed, but changeable by divine decree -- enabling the most henous sins and crimes to
be declared "the will of Allah"
The joys and glories of the Islamic "paradise" are tangible and sensual and include sex with virgins -- and young boys
As Mohammad progressed from visionary and teacher to warlord and ruler, his style and message became more depraved, violent and intolerant. It is
these later "revelations" that are considered definitive by Islamic authorities when they conflict with earlier ones often cited for Western
consumption
The Crusades were a belated military response to three centuries of Muslim aggression against Christian lands and peoples
Islam divides the world into the House of Islam (where Islam rules) and the House of War (where it doesn't). The two are permanently at war; there
may be temporary truces, but peace will come only upon the completion of global conquest
When Muslims are a minority community, the Koran permits them to adopt a peaceful attitude to deceive their neighbors, until they feel strong enough
to dispense with the pretense
The massacres perpetrated by Muslims in India are unparalleled in history, bigger in sheer numbers than the Holocaust
The myth of Islam's "tolerance" of religious minorities contradicts its teaching, history, and present reality
America's "ally" Saudi Arabia remains the most intolerant Islamic regime in the world, where the practice of any religion besides Islam is as
strictly prohibited as in Mohammed's day
The first imam to deliver a Muslim prayer for the U.S. House of Representatives in 1991, declared in 1997 that Muslims will eventually elect the
president and replace the constitutional government with an Islamic caliphate
Are these just the rantings of a lunatic or do they have any truth to them? Is there anyone here at ATS that is a Muslim? I doubt it, if you were you
would probably be sick of the people here who say Islam is the religion of satan and the tool of the devil like MWM1331's signature. Or is it the
tool of satan or is it a false religion or is it ___________? I don't know. You fill in the blank. But can you tell me about the above statements?
Are they the truth? Or are they hate speech directed at Islam?
