Let me start with a
word of thanks to Dr. Hesham A. Hassaballa for defending his
faith as he best understands it.
The underlying premise of Dr. Hassaballa's two articles ('The
Verse of the Sword', Tue, Nov 06 and 'Islam's
Misogyny' Thu, Nov 08) was geared to rescue and protect
his Prophet. The issue is not he or his wife or how they live.
The issue-at-hand is Islam itself--as enshrined in the Koran
and in the gory Hadiths.
There is an underlying temptation among Muslims to narrate
a sacred tale to depict at first the horrible state of affairs
for women in pre-7th century Arabia. Then, as Islam dawns,
the Prophet brings a new vision and, with reforms-in-the-making,
he turns the Mecca-land into a landscape of bright-light,
full of freedoms, women rights and new spheres of knowledge.
Numerous times have I heard from Muslims that Pre-Islam Arabia
was a period of total darkness, whereas the Post-Islam Arabia
was turned into an "Islamic utopia" where the blue
sky as you looked up was studded with uncountable glowing
stars and the moon and the sun never shunned from shining.
Women couldn't have been happier than with the coming of Allah
and His Messenger. Is this all really true?
The trouble with such "sacred lie" is that, apart
from the historical delusions that it has generated, many
educated Muslims with all their eerie logic do, in fact at
an unconscious level, acknowledge that they are fixed (literally
speaking) in the 7th century Arabian tribal social customs
and religious norms. Reflexively, it is of no consequence
to them that this is the 21st century; no consequence that
the majority of the Muslim population dwell outside of Arabia;
no consequence that today the religious and social outlook
is radically different from what prevailed in the Prophet's
"reformed" Arabian times.
To understand what sort of "Islamic-Utopia" the
Prophet brought about, I provide seven reference links on
the internet, written by those who are well versed in the
subject matter. Because of the gravity of the contents, I
must, like any good doctor before giving a painful injection
should forewarn a patient, warn Sikhe readers that the material
you will read here is unsuitable for a civilized society.
Much of the details from the Islamic sacred literature will
startle and hurt you and is likely to sicken you down to your
stomachs.
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful, the Holy
Koran Says:
"Then what is the matter with you that you are divided
into two parties about the apostates? Allah has cast them
back (to disbelief) because of what they have earned. Do you
want to guide him whom Allah has made to go astray? And he
whom Allah has made to go astray, you will never find for
him any way (of guidance). So take not Aouliya (protectors
or friends) from them, till they emigrate in the Way of Allah
(to Muhammad). But if they turn back (from Islam), take (hold
of) them and kill them wherever you find them, and take neither
Aouliya nor helpers from them" Koran 4:88, 89
The Koranic Deity hath spoken: Thou be murdered if thou renounceth
the Muslim faith.
Today we are seeing an increasing number of Muslims in the
West turning ex-Muslims; many of who hide in closets for reasons
of safety. Both Ibn Warraq and Anwar Shaikh are examples whose
articles you will read shortly. Anwar Shaikh, who now lives
in UK, has a much more distinctive background: As a young
man in 1947, during the partition of Punjab and overcome by
a religious zeal, he confesses to killing Sikhs. In these
attached articles, you will learn of many salient features
of Islam and the Woman, to include:
1. General nature of Islam and its anti-woman ideology.
2. How Islam induces and manipulates young men to do horrible
acts of violence for its cause in the hope of "compensating"
them in paradise where, among other leisurely materialistic
rewards, there are virgins as well as young boys available
for sex for eternity.
3. Once you read the hadiths carefully, you can't help but
wonder at this thoroughly repulsive figure that comes out
more often than you wish--better known as "Prophet Muhammad."
Today, with the benefit of Modern Historical Sciences, Modern
Islamic Scholarships and the Modern Skeptical Movements, scholars
have reached the conclusion: Historically speaking, there
are very serious doubts about the actual existence of Prophet
Muhammad. Many scholars hold an informed opinion he never
existed. Muhammad as a person may have existed once but certainly
was not a Prophet.
