Mehdi Hasan of the New Statesman

Mehdi Hasan, senior editor of the New Statesman magazine, attacks non-Muslims and atheists as "kufaar" and says they are like cattle...

-------------------------


The kaffar, the disbelievers, the atheists who remain deaf and stubborn to Islam, the rational message of the Quran; they are described in the Quran as, quote, a people of no intelligence, Allah describes them as; not of no morality, not as people of no belief - people of no intelligence - because theyre incapable of the intellectual effort it requires to shake off those blind prejudices, to shake off those easy assumptions about this world, about the existence of God. In this respect, the Quran describes the atheists as cattle, as cattle of those who grow the crops and do not stop and wonder about this world.
