apologists say that Islam just needs a reform. After all, Christianity and
Judaism have been reformed. But the apologists never get around to saying
what the reform would be.

There are many kinds of reform possible to Islam, but does anyone care if
they reformed prayer by praying towards LA rather than Mecca? No. The only
thing that kafirs care about is how Islam treats us. We want our treatment
changed. We want political Islam reformed.

Islam's treatment of us can be found in one word — kafir. The Koran says
that a kafir (unbeliever) can be robbed, killed, tortured, mocked,
insulted, beheaded, raped, crucified and on and on. The Hadith and the Sira
agree with the Koran. Every single reference to the kafirs is negative,
offensive and hateful.

The word "kafir" illustrates both of political Islam's principles —
submission and duality. The Trilogy (Koran, Sira and Hadith) says that
every kafir in the world must submit to political Islam.

The Koran also establishes dualism with its ethical system. A Muslim is not
to kill another Muslim; a kafir may be killed, or not. A Muslim is not to
lie to another Muslim; a kafir may be deceived or not. And so on. Islam has
one set of ethics for Muslims and another set of ethics for the kafir —
dualistic ethics.

The later political Koran written in Medina frequently contradicts the
early religious Koran written in Mecca. The Koran gives a rule for removing
the contradiction by saying that the later Koran "abrogates" the early
Koran. But the earlier Koran is still true; it was given by Allah. So in
Islam both sides of a contradiction can be true. This gives Islam its
dualistic logic. Our unitary logic says that if two things contradict, then
one of them is false

This dualism accounts for the two types of Muslims — the good Muslim at
work and the Taliban Muslim. Both Muslims are "real" Muslims. Dualism gives
the "good" Muslim plausible deniability when they say that jihadists are
not "real" Islam. Dualism means the "good" Muslims and the jihadists are
just two ends of the same stick.

The Koran, Sira and Hadith are filled with demands for all kafirs to submit
to Islam. Kafirs can submit by joining the religion or submit by being a
dhimmi (an apologist). Either way, the Koran constantly demands that all
kafirs submit to Islam.

So what kafirs want to reform about Islam is its principles of political
submission and duality. What principle can be used to reform Islam? The key
is how Islam treats the "other" — the kafir. The Golden Rule tells us how
the "other" is to be treated. Every culture in the world has the Golden
Rule as part of its heritage. But not Islam.

So what happens if we apply — treat others, as you want to be treated — to
political Islam? All of the hurtful, hateful and harmful duality and
submission disappear. What is amazing is how much of the Islamic doctrine
goes away. About 61% of the Koran disappears. The Sira loses 75% of its
words and 20% of the Hadith vanishes.

And those figures are low. All of the abusive words about women would go
away as well. So the above reductions would be even bigger.

The Golden Rule even changes Hell. Islamic Hell is primarily political.
Hell is mentioned 146 times in the Koran. Only 9 references are for moral
failings — greed, lack of charity, love of worldly success. The other 137
references to Hell involve eternal torture for not agreeing that Mohammed
is right. That is a political charge, not a morals failure. Thus 94% of the
references to Hell are as a political prison for dissenters. The Golden
Rule would empty the political prison.

Think how wonderful a Golden Rule Islam would be. No arguments, demands,
accusations, law suits, threats, pressure, hateful speech, killings, or
bombings. A Muslim could even be a true friend to a kafir. Islam would
develop a sense of shame and admit to the terrible suffering of the
270,000,000 kafirs killed in jihad. A Golden Rule Islam would ask
forgiveness about all the suffering of the dhimmis. A Golden Rule Islam
would also admit to running the slave trade in Africa by killing and
capturing the slaves they sold to the white slave traders.

Women would not have to be beaten and wear the hijab or burka. Honor
killings would stop. Muslims could join us in the human race.

But all of those wonderful thoughts vanish when you realize what else it
would mean to Islam. Mohammed had only 150 followers in Mecca after
preaching the religion for 13 years. But when he went to Medina and became
a politician and warlord, he conquered all of Arabia in 9 years by
averaging a violent event every 6 weeks.

Duality and political submission were the principles that gave Islam its
victory. Why would Islam drop the only principles that yielded success?
Duality and political submission have crushed the world that believes in
the Golden Rule.

CSPI could produce a Koran, Sira and Hadith that would use the Golden Rule.
It would be a thin volume, but what Muslim would buy it?
