Ironically, honorable Muslims are the worst Muslims, for they give a bad religion a good name and aid in its continuation. The survival of Islam would be a terrible calamity to befall humanity. These harsh statements are hard facts that ‘the good Muslims’ ought to consider deeply. This series of articles will attempt to shed light on this reality.
Those folks who consider themselves to be good Muslims must be troubled witnessing the constant horrors being created by their co-religionists. Muslims are now commonly viewed by non-Muslims as a dangerous segment of the population who hold very strange views of the world and their fellow humans. Those non-Muslims who are well-versed in Islamic theology and the ambitions of the Islamists to institute Sharia law are right to be mistrustful of the Muslim population.
The horrific state of the Islamic world and the dysfunctional behavior of their co-religionists must make ‘the good Muslims’ consider whether there is something intrinsically wrong with Islam. The good Muslims must be asking themselves why their brethren are behaving so violently toward each other and toward non-Muslims. It should make an honest person wonder whether Islam is really what it claims to be. It is worth considering this question rigorously as so many lives are at stake.
We know from Islamic history and by looking around us at the world today, Islam is not a religion of peace. The talk of Islam being the religion of peace is just talk. Islam has long proven itself to be a religion of violence and hatred that commonly inspires its adherents to commit acts of obscene bloodshed and intolerance. In light of all this, it seems that those who proclaim themselves to be Muslims would be wise to re-examine the claims of their religion.
Islam has historically created undemocratic societal structures which are steeped in nepotism and tyranny. Where Islam is the law of the land, Sharia law is devastating the well-being and civility of its citizenry. Without doubt Muhammad has betrayed his followers leaving them an unjust religion (for example women are granted rights inferior to those of men both legally and otherwise) producing an untenable mess. It is useless for Islamic apologists to attempt to deny these statements as the facts speak for themselves.
We know that Islamic terrorism is the result of Muslims acting upon Islamic doctrine. The adherents of no other major religion attempt to settle their real or imagined grievances with such consistent acts of savage violence as do Muslims. Both the Quran and the Sunnah state that Muhammad himself was a terrorist, a mass murderer and a thief who urged his followers to conquer the world by any means necessary. He claimed that this is what his god demands be done. This Islamic supremacism is sheer barbarism and insanity. Truth be told, radical Muslims are only following in Muhammad’s footsteps and acting upon his commandments.
Though the good Muslims prefer to acknowledge only the peaceful and sane Islamic traditions, the time has come for them to abandon this infantile approach and to stop over-looking the truly dark contents of their religion and what it demands of them and its negative impact upon humanity. The time has come for Muslims to take off their blinders and to embark upon an objective, critical examination of Islam. The evidence will unmistakably lead them to conclude that Muhammad was a full blown madman who will be recorded by history as the most notorious criminal and deceitful human being to have ever lived.
The question at hand is whether decent folks who currently call themselves Muslims are willing to compromise their integrity by continuing to practice and promote Islam while knowing of its many horrors. Many educated Muslims are now beginning to realize that adherence to Islam cannot be justified and are discretely walking away from it. It has become clear to them that the founder of Islam, Muhammad ibn Abdullah, was just one more charlatan who fabricated a religion. In this case a religion based primarily on fear, hatred and violence.
Islam should rightly be abhorred by all persons of conscience. ‘The good Muslims’ must decide whether they want to live a lie and go down the dark path of Islam or make the courageous decision to abandon the religion entirely and help in the effort to expose it for what it is. It is time for the good Muslims to come to the realization that Muhammad’s Islam, taken in totality, amounts to a colossal fraud and a terribly harmful ideology.

Excellent article.

Hiello Saleem, This is
Hiello Saleem,
This is an excllent article.
One thing I would like to add is that this article should be directly to all our Liberal head of state, politician and supporter and all non muslim too. These are the more important gruop of people that needs to buy into the idea that Islam is a religion of violent and must be stop. We cannot allow this group to be a stumbling block for us to raise the awareness of the danger of Islam. The good muslim need the good non muslim's help to leave their religion.
Islamic curse will continue I
Islamic curse will continue I guess as islam is extremely nasty mental sickness and till now only forced de-ilsmization has worked but now non-muslims are following liberalism. Only fight is by ex-muslims, but I think its a difficult fight. Non-muslims especially europeans can do de-islamization of muslims, but the lack of will. Hope europe, russia , US come together and deal with this meance otherwise this disease will destroy all of them from within.
GOOD MUSLIMS KILL.

Great article Saleem. I look
Great article Saleem. I look forward to the rest of the series.
As you correctly say, these nominal Muslims believe in a non-existent Islam that simply does not exist. Just like their Jinns, it's all in their imaginations.
The Muslims who become "radicalized " are former nominal Muslims who truly understand real Islam as taught and practised by Muhammad and they are prepared to kill and be killed to prove it. This is the real danger of Islam. You never know when a nominal Muslim will turn into a mad and rabid killing dog. If it is not him or her that mutates, then it's the next generation. We've witnessed this too many times to be complacent.
The sooner all Muslims wake up and realize that Islam is a Muhammad-made fiendish ideology with the latent potential to turn even normal people into unthinking irrational beasts and quit it, the better for their own survival and the rest of mankind.
GREAT ARTICLE I bet even the
GREAT ARTICLE
I bet even the Muslims know it when their religion act incomplete, for a religion that boasts about universalism, negligence on the world time zones is a complete give away, Mohammad was just a ruthless warlord nothing like a personality with much knowledge that is why all these loose ends are being picked, I wonder how the Eskimos will be able to sight the moon properly if Ramadan falls within their long day periods, I guess they must rely on other countries to tell them, if not, they will have to start late, it will be better if the ummah will pass the fatwa on how and when the Eskimos start to fast.
Instead of admitting ignorance, they twist and turn like the possessed individuals they are, the case of a misplaced faith hardly penetrates the abused brain of a Muslim, the mind wrenching reality is that most Muslims see the action of the Jihadists as the vehicle for the divine prophesy of Islamic domination, the thoughts of humanity as one family is an alien one to most Muslims, some of them may denounce the terrorists to a particular audience, but among themselves, Osama remains a hero.

The only good moslem is a dead moslem. A good human being and good moslem are incongruent. An evil person can easily make a good moslem.
Thanks FFI. Thanks Anwar
Thanks FFI. Thanks Anwar Shaikh. I realise I am out and happy.

violence is how the muslim spreaded, not through the preaching, islam is not a cheap jokes, your live is the price
'Muhammad ibn Abdullah, was
'Muhammad ibn Abdullah, was just one more charlatan who fabricated a religion.' I think that sums it up really. Took many years for me to work it out. But when you finally pluck up the courage to look behind the curtain, its as plain as daylight.
Its still mind boggling on how the indoctrination from birth for us who are born muslims, means that even if we grow up to become highly educated we still remain in the grip of this cult, as this is all it is, thats all any religion is.
I've read the some of the articles on the site, and I've read the short responses given by practicing muslims defending the religion. My question is this, how do you answer the fact that this guy Mohammed, married a 9 year old, had a concubine, murdered people, committed genocide, prescribed rape of captured non muslims as permissible for his companions, was a thief with his raiding.
My other question is this how did this guy's philosophy come to be followed by over a billion people, when you step back one wonders how did this madman manage to create something so virulent, as this is what it is, a virus, a virus of the mind. The untold misery that has occured down the centuries, the untold violence and misery that occurs today in the name of islam, the idiotic beliefs, the hatred. It bewilders me that I followed this religion for over thirty years. I even rocked up to Mecca once, and Medina, to think I stood 5 metres from this guy's grave. Looking back it was the brute force use of fear that held me in the grip of Islam for so long, thats the best way to instill compliance, fear. There is no hell, there is no punishment of the grave, unfortunately there is no heaven either. It was all made up by some guy who lived in a small desert town, a guy who had mental problems, and then developed an immense narcissistic complex. And by coincidence and luck his ideology took root.
Its not real, its just a lie, by yet another charlatan.
Wow ! I'm impressed with the
Wow !
I'm impressed with the response given above - by Writer 22243 - that is one of the best summaries of islam that I ever heard... Thank you ! It is as you said:
" when you finally pluck up the courage to look behind the curtain, its as plain as daylight.... "
"this madman manage to create something so virulent, as this is what it is, a virus, a virus of the mind... "
"the idiotic beliefs... !"
Muslims lie deeply to themselves... but deeply, deeply down they know... I saw shame on their faces, embarrasment. They give unbelievable stupid explanations !!! One told me recently (when shocked by my responses and without a replica) :
"" You are not a muslim therefore you fail to see the wisdom ! """ followed by an expression of amazing superiority and arrogance. Ridicule ! I don't believe there's much we can do to kill the virus from the brains of these mature generations of muslims. I'm looking forward to see the ex-muslims advice on how to approach these poor souls. I will follow their advices ! Hey... Miracles can happen !
Saleem..
Your article's truth hits you right between the eyes ! Very little is being addressed to these ... good muslims.
I'm shaking your hand in admiration !
Isn't the phrase *Good
Isn't the phrase *Good Muslim* an OXYMORON?
Dear people, I'm truely
Dear people,
I'm truely sorry that you feel this way about islam and muslims. I am even more sorry that you feel this way because of my actions or inactions.
May Allah give you fair recompense for what you say and do.
I bear witness that there is no God but Allah, and that Mohammed, peace be upon him, is the messenger of Allah.
