Islam is a religion in the same way a cake is flour.

That’s almost as disturbing as seeing the New York Times as a believable newspaper.

Islam is a political system first, and a false religion second.

Islam comes out of the 8th century when religion was intertwined with government. Remember that during this era, kings and princes had to go to Rome to be acknowledged by the Pope. It wasn’t that far back that Egyptian rulers were considered gods, as was Caesar. The difference is that western governments broke away from religion, setting government up as separate from a specific religious control whereas Islam was fundamentally enshrined as government in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia, Iran, Kuwait, Yemen, etc are all tied completely to Islam, with Islam being the rule of law. So Islam is government and exports that under Sharia to other countries.

When a religion calls for the death of others is when the West has wiped that religion out, from cannibalism to the practice of suttee. Islam is not just a killing religion that forces slavery on women, it is also a form of government. Islam needs destroying like all other killing religions and forms of slavery.

Until we get honest our freedoms will not last many more generations.

Agreed. It is a tyrannical political system that cloaks itself in religion, that is completely antithetical to Western ideas of individual freedom and liberty in general, and the U.S. Constitution in particular.

Pick up a college level book on Islam. Somewhere on the first page you’ll read something like this:

“The first mistake Westerners make is to use their own way of thinking about religion to try to understand Islam. Islam is a complete lifestyle that instructs followers every behavior, right down to how to drink water. Actions are either permitted (halal) or forbidden (haram). Followers MUST fully and completely comply, and the word “Islam” translates roughly to “I submit”. Islam encompasses law, politics and worship and it is impossible to separate one of these from the other.”

Its a brief system for pirates who want to dominate the world.
That is why there is a chapter in the Koran for division of booty/proceeds of conquest.
Heaven? For a man? its a glorious place, a whorehouse with 72 virgins for each man , all the liquor a man can consume and little boys scattered about like pearls. All the luxurious comforts a man can ask for, sex, liquor and song.

Whats in it for a woman? Eternal abuse at the hands of the greatest criminals known to mankind? Eternal lesbianism? AND having to share one man with 71 other women???
Thats not much of a heaven for women,

Most of the gains by islam have been through raiding productive societies as they never developed the necessary infrastructure to build and generate their own wealth.

Islam’s primarily a totalitarian political system wrapped in the guise of religion.

We destroyed the religion of Shinto during WWII. That was what drove Japan to enslave an empire.

Shinto produced the first suicide bombers; they were called kamikazes; flying planes into ships, mostly.

Islam is another Shinto.

Islam is not a religion it’s a political ideology with religious overtones.

Exactly. Islam is much more than a religion. It is law. It is custom. It is social structure.

One cannot separate “church” and state under Islam because church IS state. That is why Islam CANNOT co-exist with American notions of democratic government.

Islam is a totalitarian socio-political system masquerading as a religion. Always has been.
