Dalai Lama Asks Us Not to Hold Dogma Accountable

September 8, 2011 by Leave a Comment

Apparently there are many different meetings and conferences these days, just hours before the world remembers the September 11th, 2001 attack, that are trying to get as many different religious leaders in them to tell the world what is the hard learned lesson that we all learned on that terrible day – do not hold anyone accountable for what happened, it is not religion that did it, its just people.

OH REALLY? So, if it does say so, explicitly in the Koran that you should kill infidels and unbelievers, and if you are a person who truly (somehow) believes that god has written every word of that book (as read to his illiterate messenger in the desert) would you not think that god has clearly told you that killing infidels is exactly what he needs and wants?

Would you not say that the very spontaneous and joyous celebrations that spread out all around the Muslim world as word of the attacks reflect how clear this is to anyone believing Muslim?, and if it is so wrong, how can it be that since that dark day nearly 10 years ago so many similar attacks happened all over the world?

The Dalai Lama is in one of those things that are probably created by Muslims to try and stick as many other religions with them as they say it not religion. This one is in Canada, and the title of the news story I saw is that the Dalai Lama is asking for everyone to stop correlating religion with the crazy acts of individuals, well that could have been easier if the whole religion is based on turning everyone around you to a believer or a corps.

I say paint all religions, including the one of the Dalai Lama (who is a nice man and all, but still follows a dogma just like any other religion) in its true colors, from plain evil to mad, sadistic and arrogant, religions are exactly what their devote followers do and should be held accountable for each and every action, especially Islam which is trying to use everyone around to decrease its level of guiltiness in the slaughter of thousands of innocent people all around the world in these last 10 years.

It will not matter how many Buddhists, Jewish scholars and Christian pastors Muslim will gather up to say that all of them are not guilty, of course they are not guilty, Islam alone is guilty, and it cant help it – as far as they are concerned it is the express wish of god to have Muslims cut heads of infidels.

Dalai Lama - Buddhism did'nt do it, yeah we know that, Islam did.

This Crazy Month of Ramadan

August 29, 2011 by Leave a Comment

Ramadan is one holy month, Muslims pray and fast all day to try and focus on the important things in life – according to Islam and its book.

This traditional partial fasting, very much like the Jewish “Yom Kipur”, is not an original thought but a duplication of an already common practice in the ancient world. By the time Islam was around humanity was better able to provide itself with food and shelter and could start to focus on self inflicted torture in order to please a bunch of gods or just one of them.

This “holy” month is slowly becoming synonymous with bloody violence that floods the Arab world from the beginning of the Ramadan to its end,  targeted mainly towards fellow Muslims and for many different reasons. The highlight of this years Ramadan was the Libya events, in which (we are slowly discovering) participated some segments of the local Al-Quida branch who happily executed anyone who does not seem like a proper Muslim to them. The second spot goes to the events in the south of Israel, where it seemed for a minute that the peace agreement with Egypt will collapse as a result of a wide offensive against Israeli civilians from Egyptian territory.

But do not let these confuse you, there is a lot of violence in the Arab world, and its going about its normal business without much attnetion, these final days of Ramadan has seen bomb and suicide attacks in Pakistan, Iraq and Algeria, most of the attacks taking place inside places of worship.

It looks like someone out there thinks that if killing bad Muslims makes Alla happy, but doing that during Ramadan makes the almighty eternally pleased. Maybe it would be a better idea for Muslims to skip this month and not lose thousands of lives due to extra holiness attracting blood thirsty killers.

Can Anyone Find the Muslim Elton John?

July 2, 2011 by Leave a Comment

The Muslim world is old fashioned, the grip of its man-made god is suffocating most of its believers, and this religion has yet to awake to the reality that life is constructed of many different things, including different views and expressions of sexuality. The “traditional” view of Islam is that gays should be killed is not something new, and it is not an original of Islam, in fact there are many good Chrisitans and Jews that will happily subscribe to the view of homosexuality being some sort of disease and the ones carrying this disease better be sent to god for quick judgement, so Islam is not alone is this.

However Islam is the only religion that consistently calls out and actively still persecutes gays and if you happen to be a gay man in an Islamic country you better not share this little secret with your father or brother, for they will kill you for it.

And this is how Islam deprives itself of the many talents of people, people who just have a different sexual tendency, and again its not because they choose to be gays but that it is the way they were born and if anything should be said at all, it is about that perfect creator that keeps messing up and making faulty human beings. The opposition has those lame excuses, saying that gays are being tested by the almighty and that they need to show how much they are true to religion by turning away from their sexual orientation, well, that’s easy for them to say, and just to offer a contradictory view think of all them priests that were found abusing children in the last couple of years, they developed a very complicated sexual orientation following the strict order not to have any sex in their lives.

So Islam does without the females in its faith, they are only for reproduction purposes, no gays, no need for gifted musicians, no place for fashion designers, artists and scientists, teachers and philosophers and everything else that gays do, Islam can do without it, and there is no surprise when you visit an Islamic country to find a poor taste in almost everything, poor education and poor systems all over, this is how they think god wants it.

Jazzing on Jizya

June 10, 2011 by Leave a Comment

In direct connection to the post from 2 days ago about how Islam counties of the Ottoman empire squeezed the young U.S. for protection money we will expand a little about this crazy little thing called the “Jizya” in Islam.

Demanding tribute from defeated opponents or rivals, from lands taken by force or by diplomacy, is an old and ancient world custom, just for adjusting a time line here – the Romans did that, and they did not invent it, so this is something that has been around for about 2,500-3,000 years now and is well based in the ancient history of our race.

So it is only normal that at a certain time this tribute charging got the side of the world that had Muslims, or future muslims and that it was the norm to go this direction once victory has been achieved.

Now check your calendar, yes, its 2,011. Western societies have done away with this warlike tradition a long time ago, however Islam is still in this state of mind, and the reason is clear – it is in the holy book, it is in the explicit writings and teachings of this religion, this is something that can not be challenged or changed, because the ones who follow it believe that it was God or its main man words, and this is the only thing saving Islam from harsher criticism here, because it is logical to assume that after 1,400 years and everyone around you changing you will change too, but it did not happen. Not yet anyway.

So next time someone tells you that Islam is peaceful, ask them how it treats non believers and followers of other religions and try to remember this one word “Jizya” because it is the easiest way of making this religion of peace argument a horrible idiotic non-sense.

The Shores of Tripoli

1801-1805 Fight For Freedom

In 1801 the world was a different place, it was not connected by internet and phone lines, electricity was not available in most places on earth, news took a long time to travel and many of the countries we know today were very young or did not exist at all. The American nation was young and fragile, the nations of Europe were slowly moving into modern times and in the east a big empire ruled, one in which bribery and corruption marked the main pillars of government – the Ottoman Empire.

The world did not know of Zionism, the Jews were treated badly almost everywhere on earth, there was no state of Israel (and no real state of Palestine either by the way) but there was a ever lasting conflict between the Muslim world and the non Muslim world. Europe had taken back the land it lost to the Muslims but now had boarders with Muslim countries and needed to negotiate with them regularly. The U.S. had to learn the hard way.

According to Muslim law anyone who is not Muslim and passes through or lives in a country that is under the law of Islam should pay tribute, this is not only for the actual depletion of funds from non Muslims but also serves as a way to show that the non Muslim acknowledges the superiority of Islam. The tribute would be often paid by the non Muslim kneeling in front of the local officials, and would sometimes also have more elements of humiliation added to it.

People who could not pay the “Jizya” would have very limited options, mainly to become Muslim, to be killed as an infidel or to be treated like animals or objects, you can easily find Islamic religious leaders talking about how non Muslims should be treated in a Muslim land, which is generally “you can do whatever you want with the people or their possessions” type of an idea. If a non Muslim is found he or she (or them) can be sold as slaves in the markets, or killed on the spot, and according to the religious ones god does not have any problem with it whatsoever.

And so it was that in 1750-1800 approximately 1,5 million non Muslims (mainly Europeans and Americans) were captured on sea, near Muslim countries and taken as slaves, killed or converted forcefully. And so it was that counties like Tunisia and Algeria demanded and received tribute from the young United States of America, until one brave soul by the name of Thomas Jefferson (third president of the U.S.) put a stop to it and sent the U.S. Navy to crash this nasty habit of the Ottoman empire.

The American flag was raised in victory in another continent (outside of America) in that war, and it was in Libya, and the U.S. Marines Corps sing to this day a song about the Shores of Tripoli.

So there you have it, before any state of Israel was there, when Jews were spread out across the world and without any political and hardly any financial power, a struggle between Islamic nations and the West, based on the belief (and the explicit information in the Koran) that Muslims are superior and that anyone who is not a Muslim should surrender to Islam. This is where we are heading, regardless of what Israel does or does not do, regardless of the American foreign policy, and without Europe’s political stands. History tends to repeat itself, I do not think it will make an exception this time.
