Ford, Chevy and Islam slug it out

"Good people will do good things, and bad people will do bad things. But for good people to do bad things--that takes religion" Steven Weinberg

These words above, by Nobel Laureate and atheist, Steven Weinberg, are being lived out daily in the Muslim world--ostensibly good people doing bad things to those who don't believe as they believe.

 While I am not advocating for the abolishing of religion, I am saying that Islam above all other religions, is the most intolerant and most violent.

When a religious person makes a claim about what you should or shouldn't do to please God, he is saying something he cannot possibly know to be true for a fact. There are no facts when it comes to faith per se, only belief of what is true.

It may be a fact Muhammad existed, (this question is up for debate) but it is not a fact he is a prophet of Allah (Islam's perpetually angry god) or that Allah even exists. One believes of his existence through faith, just as one believes Jesus (who did, in fact, exist) is the Son of God.

So-called devout Muslims see infidels as evil, and justify killing us in accordance with their scripture. After all, if it was good for Muhammad, it is good for them because Islam says that the prophet of Islam should be imitated in every way. Devout Muslim men grow beards sans mustache to imitate Muhammad, and they also use henna to color their facial hair as he did.

The Hadith, or biography of Muhammad, goes into incredible detail of his life, right down to his recommendation of using a small stone to wipe the urine from one's penis after urinating. And speaking of piss, Muhammad recommended the drinking of camel urine to cure certain ailments. Really.

Muhammad was a warrior, pedophile, slave-owner, Jew-hater, and misogynist. Is it any wonder that "good" Muslims kill infidels, take sex slaves, hate Jews, and treat women as chattel?

Islamic terrorism is being perpetrated not by those who misunderstand Islam; it is being perpetrated by those who understand it better than the peaceful Muslims who are unaware of what is in their scripture, and have no idea about Koranic abrogation.

Imagine if religious intolerance carried itself across other borders: a Ford owner stands on a street corner with the Taurus Maintenance Book preaching about the evils of Chevy sedans. "Do not be swayed by the lies perpetrated by the Chevrolet dealers. They will sell their souls to sell you their inferior cars."

Again, I am not advocating banishing religion from the world--not in the least--but I believe Weinberg makes a decent point about religion, especially as it applies today to Islam.

Most religions preach peace, tolerance and love of one's neighbors. Islam preaches the opposite.

But when you examine it closely, you will find that all religions are in some way blasphemous about all other religions because they say theirs is the one true path to salvation. 

The only difference is that Islam will kill you if you disagree.
