You’ve raised some good points. The author does mention that the foundation of Islam is “balanced opposition” — which was a new concept for me.
They suffer because they are members of the biggest cult in the world, islam. The sole purpose of islam is to keep a very few very rich, the rest impoverished, and make to then convince these poor people believe they are victims of non-muslims. It’s worked since the 600’s.
“Balanced Opposition” in the Islamic sense means that the body of Islamic truth contains mutually contradictory truths. Which is supposed to be terribly profound, as if Allah was somehow above the need to make sense.
Islam isn’t profound, and especially not because of this balanced opposition idea. Its internal contradictions simply means that Islam is a poorly thought out set of ideas. A comprehensive body of truth must not contain self-contradicting statements. For instance: in the body of truths we call Mathematics we don’t have 1+1=2 in one place, and 1+1=5 in another.
What are the self-contradictory truths in Islam? Well, search me! The Koran and ahadith are too dull, or too bloodthirsty and hateful, to get into in a casual way. I recommend “the Truth about Muhammed” as a primer on the problems with making sense of the Muslim body of thought.
