"Islam has never known the separation of church and state which has
determined the political and social evolution of the West, leading as it
does from absolutism to democracy, from obedience to civil rights and from
blind faith to reason. Judaism and Christianity were also originally
revealed religions. The Reformation and the Enlightenment set in motion a
process of rational inquiry that gradually altered the nature of dogmas,
developing the concessions and compromises towards those of other faiths
upon which civil society rests." (David Pryce-Jones writing in forward to
"Islam Unveiled," by Robert Spencer (2002)
Islam a religion and creedo of jihad, of plunder and terrorism. Islam
isn't like Christianity or Judaism where there is a division of church and
state. There is no such thing in Islam. Islamists do not recognize secular
laws. Religious law (and its various interpretations) determine policy and
you can't criticize perfection, the literal words of Allah as passed
through the angel Garbriel to Muhammad. Criticize Islam and you better
hide, if you are a Muslim because you are likely to become a dead Muslim.
Convert and you will be executed. Europe has capitulated to Islam since
the 70s, since the embargo on oil and Europe is being Islamized again
through various formal agreements and overt declarations of
anti-Americanism and Judeophobia in the UN and by heads of state and their
representatives.
Islam is inherently incapable of equal coexistence with other religions.
Islam teaches a different kind of coexistence, that of master and slave;
existence with Islam requires (dhimmi) subservience.
Truces and agreements are made only to be broken. That is policy spoken of
often and demonstrated by actions. (see category re: Islam at naWikis by
way of links from http://pnews.org/ - Also see http://pnews.org/archives/)
That doesn't mean there are not Muslims who are progressive and less
concerned about the words in the Koran and behavior preached to them by
their clerics, but they are very much in the minority and they are a
silent minority or one that hides their identity.
The true Islam can only exist with non-believers in order to use them.
Robert Spencer in "Islam Unveiled", an expert on Islam (see his many books
on the subject) writes:
"bigotry, fanaticism and plain ignorance are rooted in some of the central
tenets of Islam." It is a religion of absolutism. There is nothing in the
Koran which is open to dispute. The Koran is the divine words of Allah as
delivered to Muhammad by the Angel Gabriel. When the Koran says to "kill
the unbeliever", Muslims take those words literally.
You can't consider yourself progressive and still support tolerance of
the intolerance of Islam and abuse by Muslims of women and non-Muslims.
