I'm afraid you've listed a host of organizations that are not to be trusted

But that doesn't mean that there are no noble and time-honored truths or that people can't find a spiritual fulfillment that doesn't mean blowing up other people. Even though you are armNready lets not throw out the baby with the bath water.

The noble truths of Islam are for the Muslim Ummah. The Muslim community. How Muslims act towards others is another thing apart from how they treat others and make Jihad on others.

You should read up on the life of Muhammad because all Muslims are supposed to emulate it. The core of Islam is that the faithful Muslim must copy the life of Muhammad who is the most perfect man ever to trod this earth. Muhammad preached very nice ideas when his movement was weak. The latter part of his life was that of an assassin, murderer and warlord. The "nice" Muslims you meet are in denial about the part of Muhammad's life as a mass killer. They will tell you Muhammad only fought wars of self defense.

 

Islam rises and falls on Muhammad. He is the religion's sole prophet, Islam’s solitary example, Allah’s lone conduit. Without Muhammad, Allah, the Qur’an, and Islam would be unknown. Yet the picture the Islamic scriptures paint of this man is not flattering; his words aren’t believable. According to the Qur’an and Hadith, Muhammad was a thief, rapist, and terrorist. It’s hardly the example you’d want your neighbor to emulate.

 

Muhammad, Allah, Mecca, and the formation of Islam are completely unknown to secular history. All we know of them is derived from the Qur’an and Hadith. The earliest and most important collection of Hadith is called the Sira, or Biography. Compiled by Ibn Ishaq, the Sira provides the only written account of this man, his god, place and religion within two centuries of his death. There is no other valid source from which Muhammad can be seen, or Islam can be interpreted, differently.

To write Prophet of Doom, I analyzed the Sira, the Ta’rikh, or History of al-Tabari, and the topical Hadith collections of Bukhari and Muslim. Using Islam’s most holy books I was able to reorder the Qur’an chronologically and set it into the context of Muhammad’s life. The result is bone chilling. The depiction of the prophet by the most revered Muslim sources reveals behavior that is immoral, criminal, and violent. The five oldest and most trusted Islamic sources don't portray Muhammad as a great and godly man. They confirm that he was a thief, liar, assassin, mass murderer, terrorist, warmonger, and an unrestrained sexual pervert engaged in pedophilia, incest, and rape. He authorized deception, assassinations, torture, slavery, and genocide. He was a pirate, not a prophet. According to the Hadith and the Qur'an, Muhammad and his henchmen plundered their way to power and prosperity. And by putting the Qur'an in chronological order and correlating it with the context of Muhammad's life, we find that Allah mirrored his prophet's character. Muhammad's god condoned immoral and criminal behavior. Allah boasts about being a terrorist. He claims to have deceived men, to have stolen their property, to have enslaved women and children, to having committed acts of murder, genocide, and sadistic tortures. [Continue ...]

Whom can you trust? These are the organizations that are vocally condemning terrorist acts, after all.

Islam is evil. While Chistianity progressed from violence to peace, Islam has regressed from peace to violence. The Qu'ran is supposed to be the last word and perfect in every way, and Muhommad a perfect example to follow. These so called "extremists" are simply being good Muslims.

You have something against Kabbani and the Islamic Supreme Council? Let's hear it.

Tabari IX:69 “Killing disbelievers is a small matter to us.”

Tabari VIII:141 “The battle cry of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah that night was: ‘Kill! Kill! Kill!’

Bukhari:V5B59N512 “The Prophet had their men killed, their woman and children taken captive.”

Ishaq:489 “Do the bastards think that we are not their equal in fighting? We are men who think that there is no shame in killing.”

Qur’an 33:60 “Truly, if the Hypocrites stir up sedition, if the agitators in the City do not desist, We shall urge you to go against them and set you over them. Then they will not be able to stay as your neighbors for any length of time. They shall have a curse on them. Whenever they are found, they shall be seized and slain without mercy—a fierce slaughter—murdered, a horrible murdering.”

Tabari VII:97 “The morning after the murder of Ashraf, the Prophet declared, ‘Kill any Jew who falls under your power.’”

Bukhari:V1B11N626 “The Prophet said, ‘No prayer is harder for the hypocrites than the Fajr. If they knew the reward they would come to (the mosque) even if they had to crawl. I decided to order a man to lead the prayer and then take a flame to burn all those who had not left their houses for the prayer, burning them alive inside their homes.’”

Ishaq:308/Tabari VII:65 “When the Apostle was in Safra, Nadr was assassinated. When Muhammad reached Irq al-Zabyah he killed Uqbah. When the Prophet ordered him to be killed, Uqbah said, ‘Who will look after my children, Muhammad?’ “Hellfire,’ the Apostle replied, and he was killed.”

Tabari VIII:122/Ishaq:515 “The Prophet gave orders concerning Kinanah to Zubayr, saying, ‘Torture him until you root out and extract what he has. So Zubayr kindled a fire on Kinanah’s chest, twirling it with his firestick until Kinanah was near death. Then the Messenger gave him to Maslamah, who beheaded him.”

Ishaq:316 “Following Badr, Muhammad sent a number of raiders with orders to capture some of the Meccans and burn them alive.”

Qur’an 8:12 “Your Lord inspired the angels with the message: ‘I will terrorize the unbelievers. Therefore smite them on their necks and every joint and incapacitate them. Strike off their heads and cut off each of their fingers and toes.”

Tabari VII:133/Ishaq:387 “When Muhammad saw Hamzah he said, ‘If Allah gives me victory over the Quraysh at any time, I shall mutilate thirty of their men!’ When the Muslims saw the rage of the Prophet they said, ‘By Allah, if we are victorious over them, we shall mutilate them in a way which no Arab has ever mutilated anybody.”

Tabari VIII:96 “A raiding party led by Zayd set out against Umm in Ramadan. During it, Umm suffered a cruel death. Zyad tied her legs with rope and then tied her between two camels until they split her in two. She was a very old woman. Then they brought Umm’s daughter and Abdallah to the Messenger. Umm’s daughter belonged to Salamah who had captured her. Muhammad asked Salamah for her, and Salamah gave her to him.”

Ishaq:369 “Thereupon Mas’ud leapt upon Sunayna, one of the Jewish merchants with whom his family had social and commercial relations and killed him. The Muslim’s brother complained, saying, ‘Why did you kill him? You have much fat in you belly from his charity.’ Mas’ud answered, ‘By Allah, had Muhammad ordered me to murder you, my brother, I would have cut off your head.’ Wherein the brother said, ‘Any religion that can bring you to this is indeed wonderful!’ And he accepted Islam.”

Ishaq: 676 “‘You obey a stranger who encourages you to murder for booty. You are greedy men. Is there no honor among you?’ Upon hearing those lines Muhammad said, ‘Will no one rid me of this woman?’ Umayr, a zealous Muslim, decided to execute the Prophet’s wishes. That very night he crept into the writer’s home while she lay sleeping surrounded by her young children. There was one at her breast. Umayr removed the suckling babe and then plunged his sword into the poet. The next morning in the mosque, Muhammad, who was aware of the assassination, said, ‘You have helped Allah and His Apostle.’ Umayr said. ‘She had five sons; should I feel guilty?’ ‘No,’ the Prophet answered. ‘Killing her was as meaningless as two goats butting heads.’”

This is Islam.

The "Noble Quran/Koran"

2:191, And slay them wherever ye catch them

2:193, And fight them on until there is no more Tumult or oppression

4:141, And never will Allah grant to the unbelievers a way (to triumph) over the believers

8:12, I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their fingertips off them

9:5, But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem.

9:29, Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya* with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

Muhammad's Words on Christians and Jews:

9:5, But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem.

9:3, And an announcement from Allah and His Messenger, to the people (assembled) on the day of the Great Pilgrimage, - that Allah and His Messenger dissolve (treaty) obligations with the Pagans. If then, ye repent, it were best for you; but if ye turn away, know ye that ye cannot frustrate Allah. And proclaim a grievous penalty to those who reject Faith.

9:14, Fight them, and Allah will punish them by your hands, cover them with shame, help you (to victory) over them, heal the breasts of Believers,

9:23, O ye who believe! take not for protectors your fathers and your brothers if they love infidelity above Faith: if any of you do so, they do wrong.

9:28, O ye who believe! Truly the Pagans are unclean; so let them not, after this year of theirs, approach the Sacred Mosque.

9:29, Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya* with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

9:39, Unless ye go forth, (for Jihad) He will punish you with a grievous penalty, and put others in your place; but Him ye would not harm in the least.

9:73, O Prophet! Strive hard against the unbelievers and the Hypocrites, and be firm against them. Their abode is Hell, - an evil refuge indeed.

So you're a Sufi. Big deal. The peaceful Muslims are always intimidated by the psycho Muslims. Who are the psycho Muslims? Those are the Muslims who obey the Koranic command to emulate the blood stained and violent life of the "most perfect man who ever lived". Muhammad.

If they do, then they are not "Good" Muslims. If they reject what the Qu'ran teaches -- why be Muslim at all? Why not Apostates?

Sorry -- I can not defend a religion or ideology that wishes me death and hellfire simply because I am an Infidel, Christian or Jew. And there are many forms of Jihad. One needn't be crashing planes into buildings or beheading innocents. They can contribute financially, as well.

To me, the only good Muslim is an ex-Muslim.

HALT any further immigration of Middle Eastern Islamics. DEPORT any non-citizen Muslim, or illegal alien of any ethnicity/religion. SECURE the borders with barriers/mines/armed troops as necessary.

Pork is our friend in this battle. Move 200,000 hogs to the border.

Whether you think they're 'good', 'bad', 'apostates', or whatever, doesn't matter. They are peacefully practicing their religion, as they choose, as they have a right to do in this country.

"that wishes me death and hellfire simply because I am an Infidel, Christian or Jew"

Not all muslims do. Not all muslims believe and practice the same. That's why it's wrong to condemn them all.

You're right that there are religions that have horrific practices by our standards, demiurges or a god that is bad, death cults, etc. Even Christianity had a warring God of wrath, who played favorites, wiped out whole tribes and demanded blood sacrifices. But we don't emphasis these questionable "godlike" aspects in our daily practice of Christianity. I think it is up to the people to emphasis what they want in a holy text. If Mohammad was a rapist, thief, murdered, etc. then he was perhaps not that far away from the character of God in the old testament.

The question of church and state is tricky subject and so far there haven't been any religious wars in N. America as there had been throughout European's endless bloody history. I think that religion in the US had been sufficiently watered down here by a republican form of government that doesn't need a religious leader or Pope to legitimize it. Mind you, some political philosophers of the right (Leo Strauss and his disciples) have made the argument that we need a state sponsored religion in order to keep European nihilism ("if God doesn't exist, all is permitted") at bay. They believe that a healthy society has to pull together through a firm belief in the highest common values (state religion) and through foreign wars which also unify people at home. They also believe that the moral relativity of democracy will eventually lead to tyranny, as was seen in the Wiemar Republic before Hitler. These neocon philosophers are largely influenced by Plato who also had a dim view of democracy. That is why the Christian vote is important to them in unifying America and, perhaps, why foreign wars with the Islamic fundamentalists are needed. Paul Wolfewitiz (sp?) studied under Allan Bloom and/or Strauss and many liberals where questioning his other Straussians who received plumb governmental positions to influence policy. So maybe we aren't as secular as we think... but, you are right, about the Islamic mindset, even though Saddam was a secularist, he had problems too.

"Have your other eye checked, Jonesy. There is nothing good about this religion!"

You know the same thing could be said of Christianity with it's bloody wars that spans the history of Europe. Why did these countless wars between Catholics, Protestants and Muslims take place? Because people have perverted a teaching of peace into the practice of war. And this kind of divide still goes on in places like Ireland. My point is that people have a choice to emphasis what they want out of a holy text. The old testament contains passages of some of the most gruesome and bloody acts ever committed by a God, but does that mean we should do the same! If we just wanted to follow the old testament teaching of an eye for an eye -- you know: If my eye offends thee... I'll pluck out yours so that you don't see me! -- then we are just as barbaric and blind as the Muslim fanatics. But we also have the new testament which has a lot to do with love, forgiveness and turning the other cheek. We have choices to make because Christianity and Islam are very questionable in places... and it's how we interpret those religious texts that will determine the quality of our life.

"Islam commands moslems to kill Jews, Christians and non-moslems. Jesus Christ commands me to love my enemies. There is no comparision."

But if somebody unacquainted with the Bible read the old testament and took in the full scope of the god of wrath, his murdering nations, playing favorites, bloody sacrifices, aiding & abetting the enemy (story of Job), etc., I'm sure they too would be appalled. It's a question of what how you interpret and you want to emphasize in a holy text.
