This brutality is not Islam (Youcef Nadarkhani update_
The Guardian ^ | September 30 2011 | Mehdi Hasan

Posted on 09/30/2011 3:02:31 PM PDT by Winged Hussar

14 Muslim-majority nations make conversion away from Islam illegal; several – including Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan and Sudan – impose the death penalty on those who disbelieve. The self-styled Islamic Republic of Iran has sentenced to death by hanging a Christian pastor, born to Muslim parents, for apostasy.

The author, Mehdi Hasan, deserves credit as a Muslim for disowning and denouncing Iran's barbaric actions under color of Islam. This reinforces my often stated position that it is bigotry to state that all Muslims engage in vicious and primitive behavior like that described here, but it is also denial to say that the majority of such barbarism in the world takes place under color of Islam.

Sort of like the late 1930s--the assumption that all German-Americans were Nazis would have been bigotry just as shameful as Franklin Roosevelt's subsequent imprisonment of Japanese-American citizens in concentration camps, but German Americans also had to acknowledge (and I think they did) that the German-American Bund was a problem.

Note incidentally that militant Islamic propaganda often depicts Jews as "Christ Killers." It is pretty obvious here who the 21st Century's Christ Killers really are. If this is how they treat Jesus' followers, it is obvious what they would do to Jesus.

Yes, Hasan your “god” is so weak that so called believers must be forced, at sword point, to become a muslim. That is your history and that is your destiny. You will all die by the sword.

That’s it in a nutshell. That is why Islam is an abomination worthy only of extinction.

But yes it is. If this were not Islam then the Islamic world and community would be condemning it. I have never heard one Islamic voice speak out against Islamic violence in a way that is certain and definate. There is always a way to spin out of their words.

Islam is full of liars and cowards. They are the worst of this society in many many ways.

Nobody says “ALL” muslims are vicious.

We say “MANY” do. And many of the rest try to ignore it or are apologetics about it, hoping they won’t be targeted for it themselves.

"Muslims have to ask ourselves: Is the God we worship so weak and needy that he requires us to force our fellow humans to worship him?"

Yes.

"Is our religion so frail and insecure that it cannot tolerate any rejection whatsoever?"

Yes.

"And why are we silent as an innocent Christian is sentenced to death in the name of Islam?"

Why are you asking us? You people are the ones allowing it. Your silence speaks volumes.

Mohammedanism historically has always been savage whenever they have the upper hand. There are no “toleratant” Mohammedans, only those who are heretical or those biding their time.

When Christ returns to this celestial ball again, He will return in power and great glory.

“They” have taken their best shot at Jesus, and He came forth as gold refined in the refiner’s fire. Next time, there will be no “doing” anything to Christ.

Why not a fatwa against our Muslim apostate President? Obama was born to a Muslim father, went to a Muslim school, memorized the Koran and said the daily prayers so by Islamic standards he is Muslim.

Mr. Hasan is probably not a very good Muslim. But since he is apparently a very good man, I wish him well.

How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy.

The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.

A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.

Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it.

No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.
