Most governments of the arab/muslim world are not religious in essence. They are all dictatorial. They use religion to keep their people enslaved.

What a clever man!!!!!!!

He said it all!!

When you state the obvious that the vast majority of terrorist attacks in the world are perpetrated by Muslims and that Muslims’ mentality is steadily regressing, Muslims accuse you of being ignorant Islam-phobic in need of through learning about Islam to appreciate its peaceful and enlightened nature. But reading the Quran and learning more about Islam not only does it confirm your initial impression but you also grasp the magnitude of the tyranny and brainwashing inflicted on Muslims.

True freedom will not come to the Arab world until most Arabs leave the Islamic religion upon recognizing that it is intrinsically authoritarian, sadistically bloodthirsty, as well as opposed to independent thinking and creative innovation. Muslims are violently persecuting non-Muslims around the world, as well as persecuting free-thinkers and Muslim minorities such as, Shiites, Sufis, Ahmadiyya. Islam seeks global conquest, not peaceful coexistence, non-productive stagnation and destruction.

The Islamic religion is the basic problem, because it has a tyrannical "God" who abuses His authority, in a capricious, cruel, manner, and a "Prophet" who behaves the same way, as models for ordinary Muslims to emulate, as a basis of gaining "Salvation", and escaping eternal hell-fire. Anti-blasphemy laws and terrorism function to intimidate people from thinking for themselves and questioning authoritarian ideas. See websites such as, JihadWatch, Atlas Shrugs, and FaithFreedom for more info.

Rawdhat al-Wa`aizin, no. 17

The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘The knowledgeable man is superior to the [mere] worshipper by seventy degrees, the distance between two degrees spanning the gallop of a horse for seventy years; and this is because Satan plants an innovation amongst people which the knowledgeable man notices and prohibits, whilst the worshipper attends to his worship neither taking any notice of it nor recognising it.

@kamelrykee same in america,though we acknowledge it less

@socceriscoolll you might be at the top of your class in pharmacy - i have first class degree in law from london university but the difference between you and me is that i can think for myself and i am no ones slave - you as a moslem have a slave mentality and your ambitiojn is to get what you think is a good job as a pawn for some large pharmaceutical company so they can exploit your intellect and skills. You can't think for yourself - most people probably see you as a nerd

[vohshkab]

@socceriscoolll it definately does not - I am english and i read the quran by the age of eight in Arabic - obviously i did not understand a word of it ... i discovered science and was ridiculed for asking obvious questions like - why is the god of islam correct compared to buddhists, hindus, christians, and jews ... I was told to shut up and obey and not think and ask questions. Islam is pure evil ... it is a rotten satanic cult ... preying on the poor and the weak ... abusing women and kids

[socceriscoolll]

@vohshkab brother/sister. the holy quran always encourages the seek for knowldge and open mindness. the first words of the quran was "read' . the prophet (SAAW) said in his words said, "seek for knowledge even if its as far as china". not once did the quran ask the muslims to stop thinking, dont blame the holy book for the laziness of people. i am a pharmacy student in the university of a auckland, and in all honesty,i try to be at the top of my league coz the holy book and prophet encouraged it

@socceriscoolll You are wrong Islam was on the cusp of being the greatest civilisation in the world they had Mathematics, Medicine, Astronomy, Literature etc custodians for greek teachings whilst Europe languished in the dark ages. It was when Islam was pushed on society in its fundamentalist guise everything was lost as Arab societies were told to stop thinking, reading and asking questions because all the answers were in the quran. Islam destroyed the Arab people and turned them into slaves.

religion is a powerful tool for dictatorships - they use religion in the sense that people are terrified of criticising religion or questioning it and by the same token they are terrified by the dictators - it is a mentality that is hammered in using religion. In England the Monarchy derived its legitimacy in the same way as having been chosen by god.
