Islam Under Scrutiny by Ex-Muslims

A New Faculty

“Oh yes… Simple MSCs….They believe in Mosque, Synagogue and Church… so it makes them MSCs …and their slogan is… Peace for all… Hatred for none.”
I attended an interfaith conference where many representatives of different religions were trying to make people understand that although they are good believers of their respective religions yet they respect each other and are willing to make this world a better place to live. There I gave them the name of MSC. Faces covered with veils, heads under traditional caps were smiling all around but somewhere behind those gestures there was something which was troubling them. It was evident…at least for those who tried to observe it…a strange energy of resistance. Was it natural…a result of hiding the guilt … as our ancestors had been engaged in deadly wars to create the empire of One Lord….or it was a direct attack on the verses of the holy books which keep on confusing the context by preaching equality and superiority at the same time. Thanks to strict border controls and immigrations that today such battles are not possible otherwise the true super believers in the MSCs always whirls around to find a loop hole and then jump out of it. In a rigid Muslim state I have to detest all other religions…its my eccentric key to my home in heaven. In a liberal Christian state I am free to do any thing… but …. wait… am I White or Black? In a Jewish state… well they are the most loved ones… the superiors. Combined we all are waiting for Armageddon. After witnessing countless wars my Good God is now waiting for the last combat where His pious puppets will again quench their thirst with blood…holy vampires… Dio Bello.

There is a good difference between innocence and ignorance though the result may be the same. Do we need religion to make this world a better place to live? Answer… No…Application… shut up you fool. A phrase which I saw on a T-shirt explains it well… it was… Grazie Dio Che Io Sono Ateo (Thanks God that I am an Atheist).

Our mind is really a very tricky jigsaw which is at the same time complex and easy. It makes us to believe and disbelief randomly. The continuous chemical reactions happening in our head make us curious about the future, disobey the present and criticize past. Being average humans we are destined to follow or not to follow some so called verses of God which started appearing in this world some six thousand years back. It was the time when God was very busy. From Commandments to Quran the pen of God never stopped and He had a good army of messengers which he kept on sending to the world till the self acclaimed last soldier. These messengers were the only contact or path to God whereas all other human beings had to follow them. In all religions the direct contact of God with normal people is only after death (in hell or heaven).

Death is one of the major causes which always make a person to believe that there is an afterlife. The joys and experience of a Life, force us to think that there is some thing called immortality which could only be attained while walking on a particular path i.e. the religious one. As heavens wait only for those who are true believers, the followers of divine religions keep killing each other in order to get the most beautiful palace of gold in it.

One who is born has to die….no contradiction…no opposition. These average 60 to 70 years of life are of course the best time which a human being gets to stay on this planet called earth. There are many hypotheses about death. Reincarnation and life after death are the most popular ones. Those who believe in life after death seem to be in a continuous state of what is known as enigma. Do good here and then be immortal for ever. How to define good? How to define bad?. Killing… bad, Beheading in the name of God…Good, Abusing …bad, Cursing people of different religions…good, Sex… bad… taboo, rapes for God…good, Messengers good… very good, rest of the world… worst… and… above all God…Oh my God!.

The concept of Life after death is like eating food. Once eaten you don’t know that either it will be digested or you will get food poisoning.

God? Who invented this word God? As a matter of fact this is the most written, spoken word of the world in all languages. Is our mind missing something, someone? If I can discuss God with my five senses then how come he or she is a God? Sixth or seventh sense may give a definition but mind has not yet grown to that extent. And who is Satan….. and the angels? Why on earth this human race has made a web around itself from where it cannot get free.

I am not the first or the last one who is asking such questions. Funny thing is that I can ask these to myself only and then try to find the answers…again by me… as millions of people around are busy in reserving their seats in the paradise. Those who are living in the “Civilized Societies…Countries” think that they have achieved their goals with open minds and free thoughts. The financial supremacy has diverted them towards other issues rather than thinking about obsolete traditions. Its not the religion which gave them their liberty but the awareness of some social rights. A lot is still to be done in their case too. The third world people are in a rat race to either move to the above said places or through media they keep on portraying that their countries are also eligible of living. Due to lack of certain human needs religion and corruption go side by side in such countries. As they have nothing else to be proud of the only position they can gain is in the heaven.

Mankind has been unable to find the way where religions are not needed. We are the slave of some words. Huge empires have been built on the basis of religion. When some crafty souls rise and declare their direct contact with God we rush to them in order to find the so-called truth and then follow the true lies. Truth is nothing and nothing is truth. One who discovers Nirvana cannot define it because may be it is very beautiful or very horrible. Even if we get it then who cares?

Words… these words are just silly alphabetic combinations but… I am sorry… I have to write them… what else can I do… I am a writer.

From man to superman… still a lot to cover.

Good to learn that muslims have now come to believe in hinduism - a la "Muhammad in Hinduism".. It is a good sign . Islam will be swallowed by the vastness of hinduism and will become another sect of hinduism like Jainism , Sikhism, Saivism ,Sufism ,etc. This will certainly have a civilizing and ennobling effect on islam which is otherwise nothing less than a mafia mannual.

Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, Saivism, Christianity, etc. are going to be swallowed by the Truth of Islam.

Islam creates a mental blockade among muslims who try to follow quran and hadith. They can not think logically. It creates more and more problems among the people, muslims and the surrounding non-muslims. Intelligent people should leave islam and embrace humanity. Human values are more important than islam.

Atheism and agnosticism are perfectly respectable intellectual positions but there seems to be a tendency for such people to regard all religions as much the same. Even a glance at the comments section on this page will show that there is one religion standing apart from Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism and what have you. It is marked out by its aggressive imperative for universal domination (actually conceived in political and military terms) and the fact that it encourages violence against, and contempt for (even hatred of), the followers of other religions.

Ali -- Islam in India is already much diluted by the influence of Hinduism. It is certainly not the same rabid and bigoted kind you will find in the middle-east. Islam in the middle-east is ints death -throes with a lot of common people disillusioned by its barbaric laws and oppressive conditions with a lot of murders,bombings and rapes going on. There is no hope for them unless they throw islam into the dustbin of history to integrate with the rest of the world to experience true peace prosperity and wellbeing ,and above all sanity and good culture and civilized existence. Islam will be dumped soon with majority of the muslims finding it repulsively backward and filled with violence and hatred ,they will be glad to come out of the deep black-hole of misery to happiness and prosperity! So rest assured that islam will definitely be swallowed by hinduism, which is why one respondent is continually harping "Muhammad in Hindduism" all the time trying to get islam incorporated into Hindu Fold!

My pronouncement may have little do do with Islam, but - if there was no death, life would be meaningless.

Even today people publish books with titles like "God's little instruction book". Who gave them the authority to speak for God? Is God their monopoly and copyrighted or are you trying to pass on your thoughts as the one and only alimghty's.
