What is Islam? An ex-Muslim speaks out

E-mail Print PDF

My good buddy Amil Imani, an Iranian ex-Muslim, pulls no punches. I have excerpted his article in the following, comprehensive and direct paragraph.

What is Islam?

Islam is a comprehensive totalitarian form of slavery. It is the opposite of freedom. Islam strives for nothing short of enslavement of the body of humanity as well as the bondage of its mind. Islam is a creed of an ignorant people of a primitive age. Islam proclaims itself as the only legitimate religion for the entire world. Islam actively suppresses and even prohibits the practice of other religions. Freedom of the press is completely alien to Islam. Islam is not a religion by any standard. It is a militant, political and savage cult. It is time that we treat Islam as the greatest threat to [the] human race.

  • Arhata  - What is Islam
    Sure like to read it.
    Congratulations :)
  • Doug E
    I agree. But don't let the other religions or denominations "off the hook". Any proselytising religion does a lot of harm. Particularly with stamping out free-will,thought & inquiry.
  • L. Varallyay  - I reiterate the comment of Doug. E. above.
    How is Christianity or Judiasm better/different? When we reject the predominate(sp?) religion of our upbringing, we usually retain cultural taints. Does any religion meet your definition for an acceptable religion?
  • Mixwell63  - Useful Idiots
    How is Christianity any different? Man, you have got to be kidding! First off, anyone stupid enough to say (Like Bill Maher), "A lot of awful things have been done in the name of Christianity too', is a self evident idiot. People have been killed in the name of Love, does that mean Love is bad or evil? Of course it doesn't. Jesus said "love your neighbor like you love yourself", so anyone who murdered, enslaved or oppressed anyone else was clearly and obviously not following the teachings and examples of Jesus, and therefore was not a Christian. Mohammad, on the other hand, personally led his men on many raids that murdered, looted,raped , tortured and enslaved innocent men, women and children. So now you know the difference. People who do evil are not Christians, they are liars. Muslim terrorists are doing what Mohammad told his followers to do. His commandment "The Jihad can not stop until all non muslim governments in the world are OVERTHROWN and replaced with Islamic government and muslim law" says it all.
  • cleo  - what!!
    I am a muslim and I have very close friends that are christians, Buddists, jews and atheists. I was brought up to respect and accept people regardless of their choice of belief, and that violence is never the answer. In my local mosque there are many youth groups where young people take trips to the places of worship of other religions and are educated about the teachings of the major world religions.If you look at the histories of the other religions the leaders of those religions also used violence in order to not be oppressed and to gain freedom of their beliefs. I think everyone here who is badmouthing is just plain mean. If you don't believe in Islam thats fine but there is no need to be so cruel. I pity you....

    Cleo, here are comments by muslims that disagree with you. Maybe you could set them straight?:

    "Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth."
    - Omar M. Ahmad, founder of Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) July 4th, 1998

    "I am telling you that my religion doesn't tolerate other religion. It doesn't tolerate. The only one law which needs to spread, it can be here or anywhere else, has to be Islam"
    - Abu Bakr, Muslim Cleric

    "Oh, you Muslims everywhere, sever the ties of their nation, tear them apart, ruin their economy, instigate against their corporations, destroy their embassies, attack their interests, sink their ships, and shoot down their airplanes. Kill them in land, at sea, and in the air, kill them wherever you find them."
    - Sheikh Abdel Rahman from a US prison

    "The real weapons of mass destruction are the desire for martyrdom. Millions of you are ready to be shaheed. Half a million martyrdom shaheed is enough for Muslims to control the whole of earth forever. In the end of the day, Islam must control earth, whether we like it or not."
    - Abu Hamza al-Masri, Islamic Cleric

    "We don't make a distinction between civilians and non-civilians…Only between Muslims and unbelievers. And the life of an unbeliever has no value."
    - British career welfare recipient Sheikh Omar Bakri

    "We must not forget that Allah's rules have to be established in all lands..."
    - Imam Muzammil H. Siddiqi, Islamic Society of North America

    "Ultimately, we (Muslims) can never be full citizens of this country ... because there is no way we can be fully committed to the institutions and ideologies of this country"
    - Ihsan Bagby, CAIR

    "The 9/11 hijackers should be honored as martyrs."
    - Warith Deen Umar, Former Muslim Chaplain, New York Prisons

    "Now, all our imams, our public speakers, should be concentrating on militarizing the Muslim public...Only carrying arms will do this task."
    - Muhammad Al-Asi, Former Imam at the Washington, D.C. Islamic Center

    "Americans in general might be more supportive of targeted attacks on civilians, as part of the war on terror, than U.S. Muslims."
    - Ahmad Al-Akhras, CAIR

    "In time, this so-called democracy will crumble, and there will be nothing. And the only thing left will be Islam."
    - Siraj Wahhaj, Brooklyn, New York Imam

    “Muslims cannot accept the legitimacy of the secular system in the United States, for it "is against the orders and ordainments of Allah"
    - Imam Zaid Shakir, Former Muslim Chaplain at Yale University

    "Let us continue the protests. Let us damn America. Let us damn Israel. Let us damn their allies until death. Mohammad is leader. The Qu’ran is our constitution. Jihad is our path. Victory to Islam. Death to Israel. Revolution! Revolution! Until Victory! Rolling, rolling to Jerusalem."
    - Sami Al Arian

    "This religion [Islam] will destroy all other religions through the Islamic Jihad fighters"
    - Jordanian/Palestinian School Book 1998

    "Mosques are our barracks, domes our helmets, minarets our bayonets, believers our soldiers."
    - Turkish Prime Minister Recep Erdogan

    "Islam not a religion of violence, but if you burn Qur'ans or draw Muhammad, we'll kill you"
    - Gambian President

    "No we don’t want to democratize Islam, we want to Islamize democracy" "We love you, America – and we want your children for Islam"
    - Islam on Capitol Hill.com

    "I am a traitor to America because my religion requires me to be. We pledge to wage jihad for the rest of our lives until either we implant Islam all over the world or meet our Lord as bearers of Islam."
    - Samir Khan

    Dhimwit: "A non-Muslim member of a free society that abets the stated cause of Islamic domination with remarkable gullibility. A dhimwit is always quick to extend sympathy to the very enemy that would take away his or her own freedom (or life) if given the opportunity."

Christ in Egypt

What people are saying about Acharya S/D.M. Murdock

"Your scholarship is relentless! ...the research conducted by D.M. Murdock concerning the myth of Jesus Christ is certainly both valuable and worthy of consideration." —Dr. Kenneth L. Feder, Professor of Archaeology, Central Connecticut State University, Frauds, Myths, and Mysteries: Science and Pseudoscience In Archaeology

"I find myself in full agreement with Acharya S/D.M. Murdock... I find it undeniable that...many, many of the epic heroes and ancient patriarchs and matriarchs of the Old Testament were personified stars, planets, and constellations..." —Dr. Robert M. Price, The Pre-Nicene New Testament

"I can recommend your work whole-heartedly!" —Dr. Robert Eisenman, James the Brother of Jesus and The New Testament Code, RobertEisenman.com

"Well-referenced, with numerous quotations from renowned Egyptologists and classical scholars, Acharya's penetrating research clearly lays out the very ancient pre-Christian basis of modern Christianity. Those who espouse Christianity beware! After digesting the evidence, you will never again view your religion in the same light." —Dr. Robert M. Schoch, Professor of Natural Science College of General Studies at Boston University; Author, Pyramid Quest, Voyages of the Pyramid Builders and Voices of the Rocks

"Acharya S deserves to be recognized as a leading researcher and an expert in the field of comparative mythology, on a par with James Frazer or Robert Graves—indeed, superior to those forerunners in the frankness of her conclusions and the volume of her evidence." —Barbara Walker, The Women's Encyclopedia of Myths and Secrets and Man Made God

"I've known people with triple Ph.D's who haven't come close to the scholarship in Who Was Jesus?" —Pastor David Bruce, M.Div, North Park Seminary, Chicago, HollywoodJesus.com

"Thirty years ago, when in divinity school, I might have had second thoughts about becoming an Episcopal priest if a book like D. M. Murdock's Who Was Jesus? had been available to me." —Bob Semes, Retired university professor of History and Religion, Founder and Executive Director of The Jefferson Center

"In addition to presenting in Suns of God the troubling history of religious wars in an easily followed narrative, Acharya goes a step further, explaining as only she can how a once-simplistic idea has been carried into our modern world with terrible and nearly unimaginable results." —Rev. Dr. W. Sumner Davis, Fellow, Royal Astronomical Society; Member, American Geophysical Union; Affiliate, New York Academy of Science

"Ms. Murdock is one of only a tiny number of scholars with the richly diverse academic background (and the necessary courage) to adequately address the question of whether Jesus Christ truly existed as a walking-talking figure in first-century Palestine." —David Mills, Atheist Universe

"Thank you, Acharya, for the important work you are doing. Who Was Jesus? Fingerprints of the Christ just might be the best short introduction to Biblical scholarship yet." —David Bergland, 1984 Libertarian Party Presidential Candidate, Libertarianism In One Lesson

"...I have found her scholarship, research, knowledge of the original languages, and creative linkages to be breathtaking and highly stimulating." —Rev. Dr. Jon Burnham, Pastor, Presbyterian Church, Houston, TX

"Acharya S has done a superb job in bringing together the rich panoply of ancient world mythology and culture, and presenting it in a comprehensive and compelling fashion." —Earl Doherty, The Jesus Puzzle

"Acharya S is a shining light of truth in a sea of deceit." —Rob McConnell, X Zone Radio/TV, Ontario, Canada

"The Christ Conspiracy—very, very scholarly and wholly researched—is a book for today..." Rev. B. Strauss, ex-Catholic Priest, Chicago, IL

"Amidst the global chaos of George Bush's War on Terror, largely founded on religious intolerance and simplistic notions of good and evil, Acharya S is the voice of reason." —Joan D'Arc, Paranoia

"D.M. Murdock could well be the most brilliant, insightful and rigorous theologian writing today." —Robert Tulip

"Acharya S is the ranking religious philosopher of our era." —John K.
