We live in strange times; only a few decades ago nobody with interest in Islamic matters could have predicted the scale of the Islamic resurgence that has swept the world. Today, Islam is a truly global religion that is no more confined to the Muslims’ countries but has reached all corners of the world. Islamic words like jihad, sharia and hijab have become parts of all languages. Nowadays, on daily basis,Muslims practice terrorism, which they call jihad, on daily basis and seem to get away with it, or even get praised as peace loving people. Even though many Muslim countries are excessively rich but they do not have any responsibilities towards the welfare of the world’s impoverished.
The Gulf Arabs are among the richest people on earth but spend their wealth lavishly on a modern Arabian night’s life style and allowed to get away with only nominal contributions to the world’s charities. The human rights record in the Gulf States is appalling by all standards but they seem to get away with it. When the Muslims’ terrorists attacked Madrid in 2004, the Spanish people responded by electing the party favoured by the Muslim terrorists to form a government. The Muslims terrorists attacked America on 9/11 and declared war on the American people, but only seven years later the Americans elected a Muslims’ favourite to the white house.
Islam related activities are dominating everyday news, and they are always bad news. The shadow of the Islamic terror has changed our lives for the worse, possibly forever. Our security, travel and freedom of expression are only a few of the many casualties of the Islamic renaissance. What makes all this especially painful is that it is happening against all the natural laws that control human behaviours. The Muslims nations in general are among the least developed in the world, their survival depends completely on the technological, and in most cases, the financial help they receive from their enemies, yet they seem to be able to get away with anything. I cannot help wondering is this the golden age of Islam?
The shadow of the Islamic terror has changed our lives for the worse, possibly forever. (Madrid 3/11)
Islam half a century ago
I grew up in the Middle East in the 1950s and 1960s and remember well how the Arabs looked up at the west with admiration to their life style and a desire to follow their example. Doctors and other professionals who had their education in Europe or America were ‘westernized’ to some degree and were respected in their societies and were considered good examples to follow. On the other hand, the word ‘ikhwanji’, which means a member of the Muslim brotherhood or an Islamist, was a dirty word associated with backward thinking. The applicants for the ‘sharia’ colleges were those with the least marks in the high schools. I remember that the sharia colleges
used to have a high proportion of disabled and blind students, who stood no chance of making it to the other universities, which sadly reflected the social and moral injustice in the Arab society. The vast majority of the students in the sharia college in Damascus rejected the traditional Islamic dress and opted for an ordinary western style look. Even the Al Azhar University, which was the undisputed leader in Islamic education, was transformed to teach modern sciences like Medicine, chemistry and physics to both sexes. Only a minority of the teaching staff and a handful of the male students had beards and even fewer girls wore headscarves, and that was in Al Azhar! The traditional hostility to secularism among the Middle Eastern Arabs started to wane as more and more Arabs were happy to copy the western model, not because they loved the west but because they admired their achievements. Muslims outside the Arab World, lead by Turkey which used to be for centuries the centre of the Islamic khilafa, were also moving towards secularism. Islam didn’t seem to have a chance and there were indications that it would remain confined to the mosques.
Against all the odds, Islam was revived and the kiss of life came from the most unlikely rescuer- the west. We generally blame the Saudi oil money for the resurgence of Islam but I put the blame mainly on the west. Saudi Arabia and its oil wealth as well as the Muslims brotherhood movement have all been with us since the 1920s with little effect on the Islamization of the world or the Middle East. If anything, there were signs of a receding Islamic influence even in Saudi Arabia itself. The country was humiliated by a series of embarrassing defections of senior members of the Saudi air force to what then was considered a secular Egypt. A group of members of the royal family led by the current prince Talal Ibn AbdulAziz also defected to Egypt, but the climax was when King Saud himself defected, again to Egypt, after a conflict with his brother Faisal.
The fortunes of Islam changed completely in the 1970s when the west opened its gates to the Islamists. The influx of Muslims to the west, and the generous welcome and support they received had only one equal in the history of Mankind, which happened in the year 622 AD. That was the year when Mohammed and his companions emigrated from Mecca to Yathrib. The Arabs of Mecca, called Quraysh, knew Mohammed well because he was one of them. The Quraysh treated Mohammed with the contempt he deserved; they isolated him as they would do with any mad person. On the other hand the Aws and Khazraj, who were the Arabs of Yathrib, made him welcome and sheltered him. It didn’t take Mohammed long to take over his host city from its accommodating inhabitants, change its name and enforce his sharia law on what has become an Islamic state. There were a handful of people in Yathrib who tried to stop the madness, like Ibn Ibu salul, but nobody would listen to them. The word Islamophobia was not invented yet so they were branded as munafikeen. This is exactly what happened to Mohammed’s followers in the last forty years, who also were disliked by their own people, but were sheltered and made welcome in the west. My only worry with this comparison is that the Aws and Khazraj ceased to exist after their excessive generosity.
Jihad - Muslims’ licence to kill
Out of all the Islamic practices jihad is the most revered and the most applauded and the only one that guarantees straight entrance to the most elite quarter of paradise. Muslims, of course, never run out of reasons to practice jihad.
Melbourne trial. Muslim terrorists listen to proceedings in the Supreme Court trial before Justice Bongiorno: front (from left) Abdul Nacer Benbrika, Aimen Joud, Shane Kent, Fadl Sayadi, Hany Taha and Shoue Hammoud; and rear (from left) Amer Haddara, Majed Raad, Ezzit Raad, Ahmed Raad, Bassam Raad and Abdullah Merhi.
The proceedings started with Justice Bongiorno stressing that Islam is NOT on trial.

Western justice applied equally to all gives Muslim terrorists " a license to kill".
In these strange times, we deal with a new variety of jihad which is the international jihad. It never happened before that Muslims managed to build an international network of organizations that practice jihad in their host countries and still get the protection of the law. There was no moment in history when the enemy was able to work from within and survives. Throughout history and until a few decades ago it was inconceivable to imagine that Muslim terrorists would be able to enter the countries they plan to destroy, practice their hate and live on the benefits they earn from the victims they plan to kill. Muslims have been very imaginative in using the current opportunities to practice jihad, which now involves all aspects of human activities whether it is military, media campus, finance or cyber jihad. Muslims have taken terrorism (jihad) to previously unknown frontiers like suicide bombings of civilians, hostage beheadings and stoning on television, and shootings of children in schools. Jihad through terrorism has become part of our lives and Muslims make sure that their evil trade mark is recognized all over the world by videotaping their ‘Islamic culture’ on television and the internet.
Muslims managed to intimidate the entire world, in the name of Islam, and still get praised as peace loving people who follow a peace loving religion.
Muslims managed to intimidate the entire world, in the name of Islam, and still get praised as peace loving people who follow a peace loving religion. The Quran openly incites Muslims to kill the infidels but none of the infidels’ countries allow objective criticism of the Quran. Even the state of Israel, which the Quran describes its citizens as pigs and monkeys and calls for its destruction, doesn’t allow open discussions of Islam to expose its real nature. The Human rights groups main concerns seem to be the welfare of these cold-blooded Muslim terrorists in Europe, America, Guantanamo or any part of the world.
It is remarkable that none of the Muslims’ successes against their enemies can be attributed to extraordinary power or intelligence; their barbaric jihad succeeds only because their enemies are comfortable with defeat. When the west fights this atrocious enemy, the rules of engagement are often to avoid confrontation. When dealing with the Islamic terrorists, the first thing that comes to light is their human rights. It caught my eyes, as I write this article, the latest piracy success by the Somalis against shipping in the Indian ocean. The Somalis have been in action for a long time and managed to capture hundreds of ships. It is incomprehensible that all those western navies with billions of dollars worth of equipment can be so helpless against a handful of bandits armed with AKs. At least in theory, the war seems to be between the two extremes of power, the strongest and the weakest. I couldn’t work out why the weakest seems to win most of the times until I read this morning that the royal navy is reluctant to capture the pirates because it would a breach of their human rights if they send them back to their countries!
Muslims have been very imaginative in using the current opportunities to practice jihad, which now involves all aspects of human activities whether it is military, media campus, finance or cyber jihad.
Even though the pirates are Muslims who start their operations by saying Allahu Akbar and end it by saying Alhamdulillah, it is remarkable that no one refers to them as Muslims. Of course, it would be offensive to associate Islam with terrorism or piracy. The irony is that the Somalis find it offensive to call them anything other than Muslims who follow the footsteps of their prophet. What these Muslims are doing is an exact replica to Islams’ most celebrated battle- the battle of badr except that Mohammed practiced his jihad in the desert while his followers are practicing it in the seas.
Oil-the life line of terrorism
Oil comes mainly from the Islamic countries. Although it is convenient, but it is a dirty source of energy and is probably the least suitable. I find it hard to understand that even though we do not stop talking about the environmental hazards of oil, it is still the world’s favourite source of energy. We have the technologies and the capabilities to harness the solar or wind powers and we can produce cars that run on alternative fuel. It is difficult to justify our dependence on oil in the presence of so many natural alternatives. Now there is even a more compelling reason to wean ourselves from oil, which is the fact that jihad, or Islamic terrorism, is the Gulf States favourite charity. It is no secret that the terrorist organizations thrive on the oil money.

It is no secret that the terrorist organizations thrive on the oil money.
In the Gulf States, terms like ‘environmentally friendly’ or ‘carbon footprint’ do not mean much to the Arabs. The scenes of Arabs walking or cycling to work are missing from the streets of Dubai, Kuwait or Doha. Even in the west, where there is an increasing awareness about the environment, you do not see Arabs cycling to work. The Arabs and Muslims in general, behave as if they are exempt from worrying about the planet. They generally lead an easy life and leave it to the westerners to suffer of the carbon guilt while they continue to produce oil and consume it in abundance.
Oil existed in the Islamic countries for millions of years until it was discovered by the western companies. The Muslims had no idea what oil was or how to dig it out or how transport it, which is all done for them by the infidels. The Muslims role had been limited to earning the money and enjoying all the luxuries. The Gulf States have been transformed from small desert communities to some of the most amazing cities in the world. Thanks to the foreign infidels, it all happened without the Gulf Arabs getting their hands dirty by building a single block; again it is all done for them by the infidels.
Abuse of wealth
A wealthy Arab doesn’t live like a wealthy westerner. In the Gulf you do not find the likes of Bill Gates or Richard Branson but you find
people whose lives have no purpose other than total indulgence in a kind of modern Arabian nights’ luxuries. They contribute only token donations to world charities, which they usually give when the beneficiaries are Muslims. Even though some of the donations to the western universities appear to be generous but they are designed mainly to promote Islam. The Saudis have funded many Islamic study centres in some of the best universities in the world; it is astonishing that none of those centres have discussed the Quran, Islam or Mohammed with any academic objectivity. The Muslims in general and the Gulf Arabs in particular, seek domination through their wealth.

The Gulf States were forced to abandon slavery in the 1960s but the slavery culture never died in the minds of the Gulf Arabs. The slavery culture still exists under new names and new legislations. Every Arab household has at least one servant, usually more, who is treated like a slave and does the work that used to be done by slaves. Those servants work continuously 24/7 in the house and live in basic accommodation within the premises. The servants follow their employers (masters) wherever they go to look after their needs. The Arab men and women have absolutely nothing to do as it all has been taken care of by the modern slavery. Those servants are imported mainly from Asia but others come from Africa. The servants are poor, young and vulnerable and soon become brainwashed to believe that they are lucky to be selected to work under those conditions. It is common for the servants to be subjected to physical abuses and rapes that are covered up in most of the cases. Most of the servants are insecure and unaware of their rights and live in continuous fear, the worst of which is the fear of being named and shamed back in their communities. This is especially true for the unfortunate women who happen to get pregnant, following rape or illegal sex, and then seek the help of their employers to illegally terminate their pregnancies. Such women may spend their lives serving their employers with the hope their secret will never be exposed. It is ironic that such disgraceful practices are so common in the Gulf States but at the same time so overlooked by the human rights groups in the west.
The historical Arabs’ role in the slave trade seems to have been forgotten or forgiven, even by the Africans themselves.
(pictured Arab slave traders with their cargo - early 2oth Century)
Slavery may not be unique to the Arabs as some Muslims still practice it illegally in some parts of Africa. However, the Gulf Arabs forced their modern slavery on the west just like they forced on them many of their other Islamic practices. The Gulf Arabs are now so used to 
be spoiled by having others to do all the work for them that they always take their servants with them when they travel abroad. Those servants frequently suffer of abuses even in the west but because of ignorance, isolation and fear such violations of human rights rarely come to light.

Many expatriates working in the Gulf States consider their conditions to be a kind of slavery. It is not a secret that the employments conditions there are usually based on race, the Europeans tend to have better deals than Asians.
The historical Arabs’ role in the slave trade seems to have been forgotten or forgiven, even by the Africans themselves. Slavery is legal in Islam but nobody dares to bring that to light. Cruel practices like Fridays’ public decapitations, hand cuttings and floggings are too brutal to talk about never mind to watch. Still such disgraceful human rights violations take place on daily basis and the Muslims get away with it.
Truly it is amazing, how uncannily Islam is winning – through sheer deception and intimidation. The Dhimmi west is watching helplessly its gradual surrender to the might of Islam. How tragic it could be, come to think of it.

Mumin, as usual you educate and motivate. There is so much here worthy of ongoing discussion and promotion.
One thing that really strikes me, that forms the backdrop of my every day, is this:
Throughout history and until a few decades ago it was inconceivable to imagine that Muslim terrorists would be able to enter the countries they plan to destroy, practice their hate and live on the benefits they earn from the victims they plan to kill.
I cannot express the levels of dismay and anger I feel at the betrayal of my nation by those who SHOULD know better. In the present world, where Islam is...highly visible.... it is an absolute duty of any elected official to appraise themself of Islams intentions and the justifications they use.
If they are not so informed, THEY HAVE NO RIGHT TO MAKE POLICY where Islam and Muslims are concerned.
The threat of Islam is not exagerated. No person alive can be unaware of the horrors perpetrated in the name of Islam, yet what do we Australians have delivered to us?
Increased Muslims migration, from both sides of Parliament.
The foolish 'protection' of Islam from criticism or query.
The shameful offering of 'rights' to a group with a centuries old track-record of never offering the same.
The prosecution of Australian citizens who demand the truth be told about Islam.
The wholesale selling out of our basic infrastructure and systems for Islamic money - sharia finance, halal compliant industries, providing easy entry to groups such as Emirates (what, we don't have a national airline in trouble?).
The forced education of Australian schoolchildren with Islamist lies and propaganda.
Like you, I am dominated by Islam. It forms my day-to-day realities. I cannot believe the betrayal of everything my parents and grandparents generations stood for. The elite of Australia repudiate every value that made Australia. It's a democracy, and they have a right to advance their causes inside that democratic framework.
They do NOT have the right to enforce an alternative lifestyle with no opt out clause and no right of rebuttal.

Mumin,
Thanks for the great article. I have watched programs on TV that showed what it was like in the Middle East in the 50's and 60's and how they all wore clothes consistent with what the west was wearing. Women driving cars and wearing lovely skirts and NO burka or hijab. They looked lovely and were treated like people, not animals. It saddens me to think they totally did a 360 degree turn back to the dark ages.
Blue Heeler,
As a true blue Aussie, I am disgusted with not only our Governments but all Western Governments. They have sold us all out by appeasing Muslims and allowing them to FORCE their beliefs on us. I feel disgusted that they come to this country and MY taxes are paying to support their 10 children. It makes my stomach churn just thinking about it. Imams lie when confronted about Islam and its barbaric ways. When the media brings up polygamy and welfare cheats and domestic violence in marriage, they LIE and say that it is "just a small minority". That's a load of rubbish and yet our Governments just nod their heads and say yes.
I wish I could finally vote for a politician with some balls that finally says enough.
Quite frankly I was shocked when I read an article recently about Vancouver Canada. A father was shocked when he moved there and enrolled his young daughter in school. He went to pick her up and looked into her class room. Half the class was Muslim and the other half was Asian. His daughter was one of two white children in the class. He thought it may have been just his child's class but when he looked at the other classes they were the same. He stated that half of Vancouver was now Middle Eastern and the rest was Asian. Does this sound familiar? Just look and Sydney and Melbourne!
He stated that he felt betrayed by his Government for letting so many immigrants in and now he and is family are a minority and he believed that the USA, Europe and Australia are all headed the same way.
We need a halt to immigration from Muslim countries and we need it now. Otherwise our children will be suffering the consequences in the future. God help us all.

Mumin - your excellent article made me go back in time to the different world we all inhabited just a few decades ago - where reasonableness was admired, and the irrational actions of tyrants was named as such. Where hope was more evident in the world, despite the cold war.
I believe it is the duty of anyone who loves freedom to name the tyrrany that Islam is, to continue to point out the inhumanity of shariah law and to perservere against all odds in emphasizing the superior values of a democratic system [despite some failings] compared with the fascism at the heart of Islam.
Among those Muslims living in the west, who benefit from its welcome, support and freer air, I hope there are some who sense the superority of the democratic west. I suspect that there are quite a few who do, but who do not want to say so in front of their more vocal Islamic agitators. Let us hope these quiet Muslim admirers of democracy aquire more courage and are able to translate that love of freedom into a critique of their violent Muslim brothers, who just end up making life a misery for us all.

Mumin,
Your insightful article points the finger for the resurgence of Islam towards the West, and rightly so in my opinion.
"the word ‘ikhwanji’, which means a member of the Muslim brotherhood or an Islamist, was a dirty word associated with backward thinking."
Until we in the West gave it respectability, even treating it as superior to our own values.

Mumin Salih,
Usually I get annoyed when people blame the West instead of Muslim terrorists e.g. for 9/11. But your article struck a chord with me, and I agree with your assessment that "The fortunes of Islam changed completely in the 1970s when the west opened its gates to the Islamists."
I had never heard the comparison with when Mohammed and his companions emigrated from Mecca to Yathrib, and that while The Arabs of Mecca treated him with the contempt he deserved,the Aws and Khazraj made him welcome, at a terrible price.
Sadly, we never learn from history. Otherwise we would be shutting the door on future Muslim immigration and severely constraining those already within our gates.

I too find it inconceivable that Muslim terrorists can come to the countries they plan to destroy, and get a hero's welcome.
And like you, I feel dismay and anger at this betrayal by our leaders and the elite. To add insult to injury, these same people villify any who try to raise awareness of the horrendous threat we are under.
There is no doubt we have sold out to the jihadis.
To sell your freedom and culture for dirty money is something I will never understand.
Eagle,
INcredible isn't it, that we are encouraging this rapid return to the Dark Ages, all in the name of diversity. When everything becomes dark, there will be no diversity.
I too feel disgusted that our taxes are paying to support their many wives and children.
I don't normally praise Al Age, but this week they've had quite a lot about the bad aspects of Islam (are there any good ones!), like polygamy and treating women like cattle.
Yes, we need a halt to immigration from Muslim countries, but at the same time we need to allow in minorities of all races from these countries who are persecuted by Islam.
Wendy Larkson,
It's funny how we admire tyrants these days and despise those who try to uphold freedom for all. And yes, we have a duty to point out the inhumanity of shariah law and emphasizethe superior values of our democratic system .
If only the moderate Muslims who do not want to live under sharia would speak out, and if only they had the support of academics and other elites. Sadly, those in power are busy supporting the radicals, often because of the money involved.
It's appalling to think that people will abandon all moral principles when dollar bills are waved in front of their eyes.

By far the greatest fortune any man or woman can experience in life is not to be born muslin nor to be born into a muslim country .A privilege and honour that by far exceeds any other gift that may by chance fall apon man or woman .
Certainly the most baffleing and frustrating aspect of this subtle takeover by this diabolicle filth ,islam is no doubt the help it receives from its many usefull idiot friends in the west .What is this self loathing , this unashamed chastisement of everything western while welcoming unquestioning an idealogy that threatens this very right to express these views ? Nowhere in islamic history will you find an apology or excuse for the rivers of blood tears and misery that flow where ever islam makes its insidious presance felt . Quite the opposite infact .Islam is very proud of its history, a history founded by a man that possed not a shred of human decency .
Mohammad was a pychopath who cared nothing for the feelings of others .A characteristic that has been taken on by all who call themselves muslims .
So to the Andrew Dentons and the George Negus,s and the ABC and SBS and to all those who job it is to be objective and to ask those awkward questions and to those who never cease to remind us of what a pack of low life scumbags us white anglo types are continue kissing muslim arse and one day they will have your head .

Mateus,
It beats me why those enjoying the good life here will bow and scrape to totalitarianism. Mind you, the elites have ever been of a Marxist persuasion.
Look at all those upper class English toffs who spied for the Soviet Union.
Guess the elites have fascisistic hearts and want to keep the plebs down.
As Islam advances, it's going to get harder and harder not to be born in a Muslim country - England, France, Holland etc.

It's ironcial that you write against islam, but you've taken a name 'mumin' that means a person who has a 'deep faith in God', so, your name is a misnomer!!!
Thanks to the people like you, islam has a surprising revival these days. The more you speak foul about islam, the more people get interested in Islam, So you people are really good for propagating islam. Thanks a lot for your efforts!!!

this is a very desturbing picture of what is truely behind the gloss of the Emirates. Human rights groups especially western ones are dominated by leftist and Muslims. Amnesty Internationals Australian head is a Pakistani and would be more intrested in insulting western nations. Human rights are only really for a select few after all.

It's not that human rights are only for a select few. It's that Westerners, Jews in particular (and Israeli Jews are considered "Western") are simply to be held to a much higher moral standard, while Muslims, especially Arabs, are to be held to no standard whatsoever, be it moral, ethical, legal, cultural, or intellectual. This attitude pervades the elite, academica, politics, etc. It's disgusting. Some cultures are simply better than others and the reason for that is because they treat people better than other cultures. Think about it: how many sexist cultures have ever thrived in the modern world? Judeophobic cultures? Look at America during the 19th century: the slave-owning South was 100 years behind the North in terms of economic development, quality of life, education, health care, etc., etc., etc. The South lost because it was a 2nd-world country fighting a 1st-world country. Cultures which treat the individual badly, which have little or no work ethic, or wherein the individual has no shot at advancement are all doomed to fail. In fact, I think that the first Western nation to succumb to Islamization will be the UK and the reason is because of the pervasive Judeophobia. They have doomed themselves through their own moral blindness.
Fantastic, but very depressing, article Mumin.

Thank you all for your comments about the article.
May I say this to our Muslim friend Light House:
Your automatically assumed that I don't believe in God since I left Islam, which is a typical Muslims thinking. Muslims with wider imagination would also assume that I have converted to Christianity or probably I am a CIA/Zionist agent. The Muslims' thinking reflects the severity of damage inflicted on their brains as a result of the extensive brainwashing.
Mumin means a person with faith (not necessarily deep and not necessarily in God) but as it happens I do have a deep faith in a God/Creator/Power or whatever we may describe it. I also have a deep faith that Allah( which doesn't mean God at all, but is a NAME given by the Arabs to their God) cannot be a name for God ( Why should God need a name if he is the only one?)
I also have a deep faith that Mohammed was a liar who lead an evil gang. If you really believe in God you should also believe that Mohammed was a liar on a big scale who used God as a tool to justify his mass murders ( of Bani Al Nadheer, Bani Quraiza and Ban Al Mustaliq) assassinations (of Asmaa Bint Marwan, Ibn Afk, Aum Quirfa) rape( of Safyia, Juwayryia and Maria) paedophilia (towards Aysha) and sexual desires(towards Zainab).
I have deep faith that the Quran is written by a human with poor language skills and nonexistent scientific knowledge. It was Mohamed who insulted God and your intelligence. Nowadays it is his followers, the so called Muslim scholars, who continue that tradition of spreading big lies.
This website aims to enlighten you and I recommend that you read the articles about the Quran and Mohammed with objectivity. In this website we do not write one word about the Quran or Mohammed that is not accepted as true by the Islamic sources. In this website, you have the chance to learn Islam as it is, for the first time in your life, and you only need five minutes of objectivity to discover the big lie you and your ancestors have been living.

Light House,
It is “ironic” that instead arguing your case by pointing out facts and using logic you try to win the day by attacking the person who delivers the message.
Shame.

To mumin,
The way you have defined 'mumin' is not acceptable to general people. Say, for example, when people use the word "Jihad" it is generally assumed muslims fighting non-muslims, even though you can safely use the word "jihad' in so many other contexts. You and your colleauges at this website are educating people to get rid of islam, you are putting your enegry into your cause, this can be a "jihad", however; it will be hard to make people accept meaning of "jihad' other than the one-muslims fighting non-muslims.
Traditionally, if you believe Muhammed was a liar, Allah was not God, Quran was written by a man, you can be 'non-mumin' or 'amumin' a prefix with negative connotation added with your name.
To Dan Zaremba,
I have not attempted refute facts described in Mumin's articles, rather have assimiliated his messege.
Contrary to what you have said, I have not attacked him, all I did was get across the simple messege of mine to him-'your's is a misnomer' and 'your efforts backfire'-I believe I failed to get across my messege.
Cheers.

I am sorry to disappoint you but the word mumin does mean a person who believes in something. A Christian and a Jew can be described as mumin, same is true for an athiest scientist who believes in the evolution theory. may look strange to you but trust me that is how all the Arabs understand it.
However, do not let this distract you from the main point. We try to enlighten Muslims and non Muslims to the false and dangerous nature of Islam. We give evidence that:
· The Quran was written and collected badly by humans and is full with language mistakes.
· The Quran made serious scientific and logical errors every time it touches on a scientific subject.
· The Quran contradicts itself.
No Muslim scholar will tell any of the above, and when you confront them with the hard reality they will say 'it doesn't mean to say that!'
Mohammed was a corrupt person and impostor just like the other prophets who existed in Arabia in the seventh century. The difference between Mohammed and Musaylama is that the later was peaceful and did not use force to subjugate Arabia.
· Mohammed has incorporated his Islamic rituals from the other religions known in Arabia at the time.
· Ablution and prayers five times a day including ruku and sujud.
· Fasting in Ramadan
· All the detailed rituals of Hajj including Safa, Marwa, Mina, Tawaf seven times, throwing stones and even takbeer.
· The Arabs before Mohammed believed in Allah as a God ( remember Mohammed's name was Ibn Abdu Allah) and practiced religions very close to Islam.
The Muslims' big mistake they think that Mohammed came to call for Allah. No he didn't. The only addition Mohammed added to the pre Islamic religions was to add his name next to Allah.
Light House, you are a victim of big lies. If you read more about Islam you will come to the truth that the only people who know Islam very well are those who left it .

Light House,
You are dealing with people who have very little patience for cheap Islamic sophistry and childish reverse psychology.
Please stick to the topic at hand – Islam.
If Mumin’s “efforts" are to “backfire” why bother commenting at all?
Anyway, do not believe what mullahs say about Islam being “the fastest growing religion”.
In fact Islam loses 16000 followers daily just in Africa and ….. just to Christianity alone.
Please read this interview from Al Jazeera.
It is in Arabic but I assume that despite your Bangladeshi origin you are fluent in this language since you lecture Mumin (a native Arabic speaker) about fine linguistic points of his native language.
Just in case you prefer English after all, here you can read the translation.
Cheers

It certainly blows the lid on the glitzy surface of Emirates. You've put your finger on the problem - the domination of Muslims and their fellow travellers in so-called human rights groups.
Just look at the UN as a prime example.
jdamn
Yes, Westerners are (correctly in my view) held to extremely high ethical standards, whereas Muslims, especially Arabs, are to be held to no standard whatsoever.
It's way beyond time that we were all treated equally and all expected to conform to a minimum standard of behaviour. As an analogy, how can you play a game of chess with someone if you stick to the rules of the game and they come in and simply smash the pieces around. In order for society to function, we must all be held to the same rules.
That's why Islamic cultures produce failed states and lawlessness - just look at Somalia. Rather than continually making excuses for Islamic failure, or blaming ourselves and our "racism"/Islamophobia, which we know is nonsense, we should place the blame squarely where it belongs - on discriminatory, repressive and tyrannical Islam, which treats people in a disgusting way.
I visited the UK this year and will never return. It is very Judeophobic and Islamophilic.
Beats me why any Jew would want to stay in England. Mind you where else could they go, as other countries are also becoming increasing Islamic and even Israel is 20% Islamic and constantly appeases them, to the detriment of their indigenous and other law-abiding citizens.
Israel even seems to acquiesce in re-writing history to please Islam, so that soon they will say Jews have no connection at all with Jerusalem and that it really belongs to Muslims.
Let's hope the next government will wake up to what is happening. Anyone who wants to read the truth of what is happening should read Caroline Glick's "The Shackled Warrior; Israel and the Global Jihad."
Mumin,
As Muslims call all non-Muslims infidels, I assume they think none of us believe in God.
I agree that the extensive brainwashing from infancy must cause brain damage and a sociopathic mindset, so they think it's OK to treat non-Muslims with the utmost cruelty.
"I also have a deep faith that Mohammed was a liar who lead an evil gang."
Well, there's abundant evidence to support your belief. Ditto that the Quran is written by a human with poor language skills and nonexistent scientific knowledge.
Dan Zaremba
facts and logic are anathema to Muslims and their useful idiot supporters, because by using thse, Islam must fall.
That's why they have to attack the person who delivers the message.
Light house
Bill Warner did a statistical evaluation of the Qur'an and came up with the fact that "jihad' is used in a warlike context 97% of the time.
"You and your colleauges at this website are educating people to get rid of islam."
Well, you've got that right! At AIM, we oppose racism and supremacism and support the Golden Rule (anathema to Islam).
Mumin,
"Light House, you are a victim of big lies. If you read more about Islam you will come to the truth that the only people who know Islam very well are those who left it."
If only other Muslims come to see the truth and leave Islam, then they can re-enter the human race and the world will be a better place.

Mumin,
Many thanks for such an insightful article, and I particularly like your comparison of 622AD to today. Western governments dont "know" Mohammed and are opening their arms to embrace all things "Muslim".
I hope we dont end up like the Jewish tribes of Medina!
I too am amazed that Al-Bukhari selected only about 7,000 Hadith from a collection of over 300,000. That says volumes about their real worth, but of course, they contain the verse on stoning that the Quran omits!
"is this the golden age of Islam?" Heaven forbid!!

Dear Mumin--wonderfully well written and well answered to your sad critic! We all hope rationality, truth, humanity and the desire for freedom from the religious tyranny of islam will win out!
How sad to be mentally, morally and spiritually blinded by enslavement under Islam --I hope people can free themselves from this vile, repressive, inhuman ideology!
The light house's light seems to have completely gone out as he stumbles on in the blackness of Islam, supporting paedophilia, beating women, slavery, rape, genital mutilation...beheadinbg, stoning, amputations,hatred, violence---yes, a real light for the world!
