Islam, the antipode to democracy.

Islam

Christians can criticize Christianity, even Jews can criticize Judaism, why Muslims cannot criticize Islam. If someone tries to criticize Islam, he does so at the risk of his own safety.

I do believe that, even Islam should not be above criticism!!!

The freedom that the Western societies are enjoying is based largely on, the freedom of speech and the right to criticize politicians, and ultimately even religions. These rights are the backbones of freedom, and this truth is embedded in the Western Civilizations, and it is sacred for everyone that believes in it, even more than religions. If this basic concept can't be accepted by the Muslim world, consequently Islam can't be a part of this modern and free world.

Can be there a real dialog with Islam?

I personally doubt it. At least, not with this kind of Islam! Islam isn't just a religion, but also a political identity which preaches violence. Islam is to be accepted the way it is. It can't be changed, or can't it be questioned. Islam must be accepted as an all, or otherwise a Muslim isn't a real Muslim, or worst this Muslim can even pay with his own life whenever he tries to question its teachings.

Can Islam be reformed?

If Islam wants to play a role in this world, then Islam needs a radical transformation, not just to reform itself, or otherwise Islam can't be a part of this modern world. If this doesn't happens, then in a long run Islam will lose the battle. Islam has only two choices left: to change or to be subdued.

What we are witnessing today isn't a clash of two religions or two cultures, but it's the clash of two mentalities, one belonging to the modern age, and the other one still rooted in an archaic era.

Islam is a very oppressing religion, especially towards those that are different, or not believers. In particular, the special treatment reserved from this sort of religion to the Muslim women, in which they are dealt like they were sub-humans. I end here saying: only Muslims defend their believes by killing and destroying what isn't Muslim. That's the Islam way. If they can't impose their own beliefs on it, then they will destroying it!

Not other religion, or beliefs, acts in such cowardly ways as, "Islam".

Concerns over the Geert Wilders' 15 minutes movie "Fitna".

Islam

The freedom to think and voice out our own opinions is the way of a civilized and democratic society in which, a real free society is based on. Now, someone can disagree with Geert Wilders' movie "FITNA" that's his choice, but at least that's what we, people from the Western societies do. At the contrary, in the Muslims societies if they don't agree with someone view they don't just speak out angrily, but they also threaten to end his life only because he may disagree with, their moralities and culture.


Are Geert Wilders, playing with people’s emotions?

Wilders has said that his movie is a "last warning for the West"

That's a statement for everyone to analize and comment on.

*****

Fears of Muslims violence in the wake of the movie.

I perceiving from this occurring event, as well, by many other similar past events from some radical Muslims outrage and cowardly mischiefs that, they are trying to silence and cripple the free speech and the freedom of expression in our societies. We, the Western societies are enjoying freedom after many centuries of fighting injustices, dictatorships and bigotries of any sorts and now, the danger of obscurantism is glowing on us all over again. This threat, coming from the Islam world will overshadow and undermine what the people of the free world have fought very hard for so long. Our only way to defend ourselves from a new dark age is, to fight it with the freedom of speech!

Right now, radical Muslims are engaging us in a war of ideologies and terrorism, but what will come next if, we the free societies won't win this battle? It will be the end of what we firmly believe today, our way of life and our own beliefs!

Now, to be more clear on the subject of free speech, I want to post here an answer I gave on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 regarding this thorny issues in a friend of mine blog: "pedestrianinfidel.blogspot.com"

"baseless bigotry?"
I'm not so sure about that!

young_activist, I'll be the first to criticize Christianity if, it will be in the same league as Islam.

Christianity maybe was like Islam in the past but, it has since evolved. The real problem with Islam is that, it has never changed from its conception. Islam is a "religion" based on barbaric and archaic beliefs, which go against any human rights.

Christians are ready to criticize even their own religion if, this one starts to dictate some weird and mindless "divine guidances", that go against any human rationalities or, all together even leave his/her own religion if, necessary.

Do you know why?

Because, we are free minded people and no one, even religion should tell us to accept blindly every thing it tells us.

If, someone decide to make a movie about Christianity I won't be offended because if, the movie is telling something true about my religion I will accept it but, if the movie will be based on a lie, soon or later the truth will come out anyway, and for sure I won't be looking for the movie's producer in a premeditated attempt to murder him because of his/her ideas! We live in a free world, so let anyone make hes/her own decisions good or bad they can be, even to criticize a religion with a movie.

Now, I hope you get the difference between Muslims and Christians.

Yesterday, I went once again in liveleak.com to re-watch the movie "FITNA", but to my (not so) surprise that's what I found:

“Following threats to our staff of a very serious nature, and some ill informed reports from certain corners of the British media that could directly lead to the harm of some of our staff, Liveleak.com has been
left with no other choice but to remove Fitna from our servers.

This is a sad day for freedom of speech on the net but we have to
place the safety and well being of our staff above all else. We would
like to thank the thousands of people, from all backgrounds and
religions, who gave us their support. They realised LiveLeak.com is a
vehicle for many opinions and not just for the support of one.
Perhaps there is still hope that this situation may produce a
discussion that could benefit and educate all of us as to how we can
accept one anothers culture.

We stood for what we believe in, the ability to be heard, but in the end the price was too high.”

Fortunately, the movie can be still watched in youtube.com, until (of course) it's there:

FITNA the movie-Enemy of allahhhh!!!

Part 1



Part 2

Islam is a complete way of life, not a Sunday religion.

Many of us, may not agree with Geert Wilders' view of Islam but, we will never show our disapproval of someone opinion with homicidal rage, that's so barbaric and uncivilized.


Signing off... an enraged Red.eVolution.


P.S. The Movie "FITNA" can be watched once again in liveleak.com

** 30/3/2008: Liveleak Update **

On the 28th of March LiveLeak.com was left with no other choice but to remove the film "fitna" from our servers following serious threats to our staff and their families. Since that time we have worked constantly on upgrading all security measures thus offering better protection for our staff and families. With these measures in place we have decided to once more make this video live on our site. We will not be pressured into censoring material which is legal and within our rules. We apologise for the removal and the delay in getting it back, but when you run a website you don't consider that some people would be insecure enough to threaten our lives simply because they do not like the content of a video we neither produced nor endorsed but merely hosted.

Is Islam a religion of peace, love and tolerance? (part II)

Warning: this chapter contains some gruesome
pictures not adapt for very young readers.



Islam is an incurable mental disease based on prejudices and irrational beliefs in which, insinuate itself in a subtle manner in people's minds and hearts, and it has mentally affecting them and stirring up their own societies since ever. Islam is very pragmatical and un-spiritual religion, and its ultimate end is to win an absolute dominance through wars against the all un-Islamic masses, meaning the all world.

Islam and its Islamic codes.

Sharia and Jihad are two ultimate tools for Islam's masses submission and control, and where individual freedom is restrained.

Sharia laws.

Sharia is a mixture of demented conceptions such as: intolerance towards disbelievers, inequality between men and women, acceptance of slavery and polygamy, honor killing, religious bigotry, genital female mutilations, and barbaric punishments like stoning, cutting of hands and feet, decapitation or, by pulling out eyes and all other sorts of brutal punishments.


qoran 5:33

The recompense of those who wages war against Allah and His Messenger and do mischief in the land is
only that they shall be killed or crucified or their hands and their feet be cut off on the opposite sides, or be
exiled from the land. That is their disgrace in this world, and a great torment is theirs in the Hereafter.

There have been calls in the Western societies where Muslims communities are residing for, the Sharia to be adopted. These calls should be harshly opposed. The Sharia by its nature conflicts with many basic human rights and values in which, a modern society is based on.

Jihad, an holy war waged against free minds?

Is Jihad only allegorical narratives, and it does not mean violence or, anything else? When we go back in time, history will tells us a very different story. What we'll see is, all the bloodshed spelled during Islam's history for the cause of Islamizing the infidels. The Quran (or Koran,) is actually supposed to be taken in a "literal sense". Islam has always been associated with political expansion and that's where Jihadist or, holy warriors get into the picture. Quran and Hadith repeatedly tell Muslims believers that nothing is greater, than Jihad in the name of Allah. Islam itself is a very violent religion, and maybe, it isn't even a real religion at all!

Ultimately, Islam with its Islamic codes has the power to inspire and instigate terrorist minds for, very execrable crimes on innocent lives in a worldwide campaign of violence, and terror activities.

Islam "religion of peace".

Are Western societies turning a blind eye on the danger of a radicalised Islam?

Category:

Islam

Lately, I have read on a newspaper about an Arab father (his name is Parviz Khan) who was sentenced to a life in prison in England because, he was giving his 5 years old son, lessons of hate and how to be a kamikaze.

Maybe, a moderate Islam doesn't even exist?

My personal thoughts on the Islamic world is changing by the minute, after reading newspapers and watching videos by those Imams that are preaching hate toward the Western cultures and their religion. I started to question if, Islam is really a religion of peace and tranquility or, else. Fortunately, we all live in free and democratic societies, where allows us to question anything and anyone but, for how long! If Islam is in reality, a kind of Arab colonialism in disguise while, western societies are turning a blind eye on this danger then, we are seriously putting our future at risk.

Most Muslims in the Western societies are making very clear that, they have no intention whatsoever of being integrated into the host society. In fact, they are repeatedly asking to implement Sharia Laws, in country like England, Italy, Norway, Germany and so on.

Islamisation, no thanks!

We should seriously start asking ourselves even here in the States if, it's time to see this emerging problem in its true color as, a threat to our cultures and ways of life! Now it's time to act, before we will close our chances for survival, by making new laws and enforcing them on immigrants which won't accept our ways of life. They are free to come in our societies if they want to but, they have to fully integrate and accept our costumes and ways of thinking or otherwise be deported. I know it sounds a little too harsh but, what other ways we have to insure that our cities won't be ruled by some Sharia laws? Can you image, in a not so far fetched future our city's streets could be roamed by sharia's police, that will be really the end of everything of our societies are based on, the freedom of each single citizen!
Anyone could be stoned to death for committing some "illicit actions" and even if, what some Imams are saying was true, that they will apply the Sharia only on Arab/Muslim population, how could we allow such degradation in morality to ever happen in modern societies! We shouldn't allow this barbaric belief to, even been contemplated in our world.


We all should stand firm in what we believe, the freedom of each individual is more important then any stupid, archaic, misconception coming from any religion. We shouldn't allow any barbaric Sharia laws to be rooted in our lands differently, western societies won't survive to this cataclysmic insult to humanity. The game stops here or, they accept our ways of life or, they should be booted out from our countries if, they will refuse obstinately to obey our own laws and won't fully integrate in our societies, that's it!

Watch this video of Robert Spencer talking about, the next moves of Radical Islam.

Clash of civilizations- Muslim and Western societies.

A new world order in the becoming.

After the fall of the Berlin wall, the cold war era was practically over. Until that point in history, the world was divided in three major blocks: the Western block as the NATO alliance, with the United States as the superpower leading it, the second block with Est Europe block as the Warsaw Pact, and the Soviet Union as the superpower leading it, and the last block which was composed by the so called "Non-Aligned Movement of Nations". The purpose of this organization was not to consider themselves aligned with or against any of the above superpowers.

Once the cold war was really over, a new world order would have established after it and consequently we all thought, a period of peace would have followed with not major conflicts around the corner.


But, the world without wars or enemies seemed that couldn't be maintained for very long periods of peace and tranquility. Even when, there are not apparent wars looming on top of our lives, it's like humanity can't live without them, we have to look for one even when there are none around. Apparently, Nations need to look for new enemies to maintain a precarious world balance, and some time by even inventing one. After 9/11, looked like some Nations had found their new enemies. At least that's the impression I got after reading some newspaper, or commentaries in some web pages or worst, from some politicians from Europe as well here in the States. Now some of them, are depicting a worrisome world which I didn't like at all. A possible future, where the Western Civilizations are in an hypothetical war against Arab/Muslim civilizations.

Clash of civilizations.

For example, I watched recently in the web videos, where reporters were talking about Arab fighting forces "jihadists" which were preparing themselves for a global Jihad against the Western civilization, and in the same time they were showing up pictures, where some Arabs fighters were training and preparing in hiding camps for a war of annihilation of the West civilizations or, ideologies and the West had no choices but, to fight them aggressively. They were not talking just about terrorists but, they were pointing out the menace was coming from the Arab world as an all.

I didn't agree with those provocative views of the Arab/Muslim world coming out from those videos. The thing that mostly alarmed me from all the rantings coming out from the above commentaries and videos was, the all Arab/Muslim world are hating us for what we are or, what we represent to them, a threat to their own culture and therefore, we needed to fight them back as a preventive measure.


Terrorists should be fought and defeated as well, the radical and violent faction of Islam but, terrorists or, radical Muslims are a small minority in the Arab world, not the entire Arab societies. Even though, these minorities are trying to push the Arab world in a holy war versus the West, doesn't mean we have to hate and prepare ourselves for a holy war against the entire Arab world. There is a need to eliminate the overlap between terrorism and Islam, this need is essential to start winning the real war against terrorism. Islam has been high jacked by the terrorists (as many Muslims keep telling us), making of it an excuse to fight for an holy war against West civilizations.

Some young Muslim men, which are joining terrorist forces to fight the infidels and a supposed Western hegemony in the world, those same young muslims alone don't represent the all Arab/Muslim world. The all Arab world doesn't hate us, there isn't any cultural clash between us and them but it will be if, we create the ground for it to flourish on.

The time of Crusades is gone, we don't need new ones.

Hysteria which has erupted after 9/11, it's leading us nowhere. We need to look closer for the real reasons of why and when, this crisis of cultures has come to be today. We don't need some scare-monkey tactics from some medias or politicians, about the danger of a raising fundamentalistic Islam. We need to understand the causes of it, and consequently find remedies to stop further unwanted consequences.

Muslim and Western societies.

I have so many Arabs friends and, none of them is preparing to fight us in a war of ideology and religion. They are good working people like us and like us, the peaceful Muslim communities are worried of all these dark forces pushing us and them, toward a point of no return. To be more clear, I will repeater what I'm trying to tell in a different way: "We all, should be concerned about all these nonsenses, stop them right now that we are in time, and not keep proceeding toward uncertain futures of fatal consequences for all of us."

There are, many Arabs of different nationality working and worrying every day in the United States, and most of them are not preparing to wage a war here or, in Europe as well.

Arabs are not all terrorists, they have their own culture and religion, we should respect them as they should respect us. To avoid further misconceptions, we should all meet in the middle to find ways of not killing each other for some ideologies but, to mitigate all the problems arising from this new world we need to dialogue now, if we want to live, work and get along together in peace.


If we look back in time, we will see that diversity of ideologies and multiculturalism can work together if, we really want too. By just checking the past history as I said, we will see indeed, there was a time when the Arabs were in Spain and in part of south Italy. In those ancient times, we could find different communities and religions in those parts of Europe, where people were living and working together harmoniously. So why shouldn't it happen again today?

Muslim Spain and European Culture.

By the beginning of the ninth century, Moorish Spain was the gem of Europe with its capital city, Cordova.

When you think of European culture, one of the first things that may come to your mind is the renaissance. Many of the roots of European culture can be traced back to that glorious time of art, science, commerce and architecture. But did you know that long before the renaissance there was a place of humanistic beauty in Muslim Spain? Not only was it artistic, scientific and commercial, but it also exhibited incredible tolerance, imagination and poetry. Moors, as the Spaniards call the Muslims, populated Spain for nearly 700 years. As you'll see, it was their civilization that enlightened Europe and brought it out of the dark ages to usher in the renaissance. Many of their cultural and intellectual influences still live with us today.
