From The Author Of SC&A: Why I Hate Islam

SC&A: I hate Islam. I hate everything about what passes for Islam and I hate everyone who defends what passes for Islam. I hate Islamic politics, I hate the Islamic ’street’ and I hate institutionalized Islamic fueled bigotry, racism and hate that permeates Arab world schools, media and pulpits.

The reason for my hatred of all things Muslim and Arab extends beyond the obvious. Anyone, anywhere, can decipher Arab behavior for what it is- a reflection and an example of a culture gone bad and a culture that has become morally incestuous. The impotence, ignorance and the indifference the entire Arab world is on display for all the world to see when it comes to dealing with their own failures and dysfunctionalities. Arab world behavior offers a breathtaking view of what happens when even the most basic moralities are co opted by evil.

With the help of self serving political and religious leaders, Islamic leaders have conveyed the notion that the situation Arabs find themselves in is because of, a) a ‘weakness’ in their faith and, b) because they are so superior by virtue of their faith, they have every right to impose at will whatever indignities they see fit at any time. They are victims and they can extract revenge as they see fit.

Notwithstanding all the billions of words written to date and the billions more that have yet to be published, the two reasons referred to are the cause of Arab and Islamic discontent.
My hatred for all things Islamic stems from the truth that one of the people I admire most in the world is a Muslim. After 10 plus years, I can say my friend is the singularly most decent, honest and kindest person I know.

My friend believes in God, without equivocation, and my friend is outraged at yoke that must be borne by true Muslim believers because of the disintegration of Islam. The shame of many- but not all, who go to mosques to pray, cannot be measured. My friend describes an unwritten code and language decent Muslims share, so that they might find each other. My friend and others like him, are too frightened to speak freely and they are too frightened to stand up to the bullies that have taken over the mosques and Islamic schools. The consequences of opposition can be more than just mere rhetoric.

For Hitler, it was the notion of the uber mensch, the ‘pure’ Aryan. For the Arabs, it is a romantic vision of a new Caliphate, one where Arabs and Muslims are perceived as righteous leaders, scholars, recognized and catered to by others. These tactics have proved to be very successful. Arab world political and religious leaders keep the chains of tyranny tightly bound- and Arabs, like the German volk, look adoringly at their leaders and say, ‘Thank You.’

My friend is a proud Arab and Muslim- and has lived a life that can only be described as decent, honorable and upright. I would, at a moments notice, trust my friend with my child’s life.
What passes for current Arab and Islamic culture has tainted and tarred my friend with a stain that cannot be gotten rid of in this generation- and I am outraged by that truth. In fact, my colleague notes that as long as political and religious leaders keep focusing on the past, nothing will change.

My friend’s dreams do not include a new Caliphate. He dreams of new schools and job creation. There are dreams of universities and democracies, debates and free expression for all. The oasis and water promised by the usurpers of Islam. It is yet another illusion, another desert mirage, designed to placate deprived populations, and no more. The region and people are thirsty for the waters that will never come, as their leaders laugh and enjoy the most obscene wealth the world has known. I will show no mercy and give no quarter to those who support the ideologies that fuels such destruction.

Adolph Hitler killed 50 million with bullets and fire. Arab Islamic nations continue the evil. They are killing the hope and future of hundreds of millions with tyranny and evil. Like Hitler and his Nazi ideologies, what passes for Arab and Muslim ideologies today, rejoice in the deaths of those they kill.

I watch and listen to my friend suffer, because he is being killed a little bit, every single day, by his own.
That is why I hate Islam.
Those evil people are bullies, plain and simple. They are ‘gang members’ and agents of people in far away places that have an agenda of hate and destruction. In truth, allowing political and religious leaders in the Arab world to redefine Islam is equivalent to allowing gang members and inmates to redefine what is America and what are American values. The bullies and beasts that have taken over many mosques and schools are the messengers of those that have redefined Islam.
These people have stripped Muslims of almost all their dignity by stripping away even their faith. Here we are in the 21st century and there are millions of people who have abandoned God in favor of despicable rulers and despots. Islam has been replaced by a new faith that has come to worship death and destruction as the highest ideals of man.
When a tyrant or dictator attempts to justify his actions, we can rightly assume that justification is false. Tyrants and dictators do not make moral choices, because moral choices can only lead to the demise of the tyranny.
Anyone that comes to the defense of tyrannical regimes and their leaders, have themselves made a conscious choice to defend and stand by what is immoral.
These words are not empty. I have seen my friend freeze in dread when the news came that a family member was arrested back home. The family member was reported as having bitterly noted that Muslims in a European country were able to start their own business without the backsheesh (under the table bribe money) that was required at home- and that error was compounded because the family member made the remarks in the presence of some university mucky mucks, looking to score the 75 dollar reward for informing.
It took some intervention and well placed backsheesh to smooth things over.

My friend bitterly, if quietly, jokes that Israel doesn’t need the Arab world- it is the Arab and Muslim world that need Israel, because Israel is the mirror that fuels the self hatred, highlights their own ugliness. In fact, that emotion of self hatred runs so deep, that it cripples the Arab and Islamic world from moving forward, and thus better themselves. They are mired in a well designed and crafted images from the past. Like Hitler before them, Arab religious and political leaders by design, want to keep them ‘down on the farm’ by focusing their attention on a past crafted to appeal to a created identity-one that stems from the past.
