Instead he said that he will fill Hell with jinns (spirits) and men and thus he wants to send us "non-believers" to Hell. Thus the upshot is that those follow Islam, if their life is louse, if they are poor, weak, hungry, etc., that is what Allah wants, (INSHALLAH—“god willing”) thus don't fight that combined with an almost complete lack of any work ethic because in Islam, the Muslims never did the work, the Dhimmis did all the work. Once you run out of Dhimmis, its society stagnates.
That is the culture in every Islamic country. Noboby works.
And this is hardly anything new as evidenced by this 1391 AD, Byzantine Emperor Manuel II Paleologus quote:
""Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached."
For me, the following paragraphs in the article ( if true ), gives me cause for pessimism. Why? because the problem in Egypt is DEEP SEATED and cultural.
All attempts by the media in trying to tell us that the vast majority of Egyptians are moderate falls by the wayside.
Suzanne Mubarak, Egypt’s First Lady, continues to campaign against the practice, which she has denounced as “physical and psychological violence against children.” Last May 1, she appeared at Aswan City alongside the provincial governor and other local officials to declare the province free of it. And on October 28, Mrs Mubarak inaugurated an African conference on stopping genital mutilation.
The most authoritative Egyptian Muslim scholars continue to recommend genital mutilation. Writing on the web site IslamOnline, Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi - the president of the International Association of Muslim Scholars - explains:
“The most moderate opinion and the most likely one to be correct is in favor of practicing circumcision in the moderate Islamic way indicated in some of the Prophet’s hadiths - even though such hadiths are not confirmed to be authentic. It is reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to a midwife: “Reduce the size of the clitoris but do not exceed the limit, for that is better for her health and is preferred by husbands.”
That is not a Muslim view (the practice is rare in Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Pakistan), but an Egyptian Muslim view. In the most fundamental matters, President and Mrs Mubarak are incomparably more enlightened than the Egyptian public. Three-quarters of acts of genital mutilation in Egypt are executed by physicians.
What does that say about the character of the country’s middle class? Only one news dispatch among the tens of thousands occasioned by the uprising mentions the subject; the New York Times, with its inimitable capacity to obscure content, wrote on January 27, “To the extent that Mr. Mubarak has been willing to tolerate reforms, the cable said, it has been in areas not related to public security or stability.
For example, he has given his wife latitude to campaign for women’s rights and against practices like female genital mutilation and child labor, which are sanctioned by some conservative Islamic groups.” The authors, Mark Landler and Andrew Lehren, do not mention that 90% or more of Egyptian women have been so mutilated. What does a country have to do to shock the New York Times? Eat babies boiled?
RE: “”Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.”
Pope Benedict quoted the above and was condemned by Muslims everywhere.
I read a lot about the Merchant Marine in WWII. Almost all of the stories by those who survived the torpedoing and were adrift for days/weeks said that the Islamic guys died off first - "They just gave up the ghost" - while the others toughed it out - Asians, Hispanics, Africans, Anglos.
