Australian Islamist Monitor

There is NO evidence of Islam pre the 7th century, and NO Koran's from the 7th century and no non-Muslim verification that Mohammad existed in Mecca and Medina at the start of the 7th century, yet Muslims repeatedly pretend Islam existed even before Judaism and Christianity and convince people to 'revert' to the supposedly original religion-Islam!  I regard becoming Muslim as 'retarding', or devolving, not reverting and am pleased to read that many who get sucked in reawaken and leave Islamic barbarity!   Why do people 'retard' ?  Many 'retards' are looking for some guidance or purpose in life, know nothing or little about the real Islam and are sweet talked by a Muslim (Abdul mentions ' cunning Muslim proselytizers ')… Abdul-Quddus's  story in particular is a warning for young people and their parents! Celine and Abdul left Islam when they discovered the truth about it—if we could expose Islamic text and laws, others could be saved the folly of joining an evil ideology that promises to kill those who leave!   In Australia we must demand our right to expose Islam!

1) Celine Leduc, middle-aged (Christian background), looking for spiritual clarity, converted to Islam on impulse after meeting a Muslim woman.  She thought she had returned to her roots!  She was told Jesus was a Muslim prophet and liked the prayers, and idea of unity and peace…..however the peace turned into hate speech against Jews and Christians..

As a research student, she has interviewed many middle-eastern and North African Jewish women .

"and when I told them that I had tried Islam for a while, they said: I have a cousin, a sister-in-law, a friend who became Muslim when we were in Egypt. They did it for their survival in Cairo or Alexandria. However, after they left Egypt, they all came back to their Jewish roots. One of my friends added, you can understand what we went through and some of the problems we faced.   I did, but what I learnt from them is that you can love the Muslim world, its culture and history, even if at times it is harsh and cruel. My Jewish friends from Egypt are the ones who introduced me to the complexity of the Muslim world and they gave me the gift of love, which means to know the good and the bad and never forget to remain human and open. I guess I was right all those years ago, to think that Jesus was a Jewish man and a Rabbi, since my Jewish friends taught me how to love my neighbour as myself. " (source)

Celine's retardation into Islam was published on many Islamic sites----one wonders if her return to sanity and rejection of Islam is equally published?

 

2)  Abdul-Quddus (Canadian) had a vague Christian background, was distressed at injustice and apparent western modernity and decadence, suffered depression, felt he had failed his parents' expectations and went in search of god and purpose, trying many religions, particularly Buddhism.  He became Muslim after a sibling 'retarded' and he perused Muslim websites and TV programs.  He liked the monotheistic simplicity---he knew claims of Mohammad's paedophilia, genocide, thievery, rape, and murder. Supposedly, Islam was a barbaric cult stuck in seventh-century Arabia bereft of human rights and with a disavowal for advancement..but once 'retarded' he dismissed them as propaganda.  He decided to excel at Islam and even thought of jihad (fighting!) and martyrdom.  He now realizes his faith was sustained by FEAR, the claims (above) were TRUE and Islam cannot be reformed!!  Islam didn't mean peace, it meant unquestioning submission!  He suggests most 'converts' fade away within a few years.... 

 He was given a selected, santised version of Islam initially including false claims that Islam had been preserved unchanged! He feared hellfire and discovered he wouldn't make paradise because he had been Buddhist:-

"I later learned that he viewed me as an idolater that could never make it to jannah (paradise). According to al-Qur’an, Allah will never forgive shirk (associating partners with Allaah) and “And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers.” (Koran 3:85)"

Once he joined, he was given a totally different ideology!!  He followed all rituals, prayed, 'retarded' others…Christians were converted by showing the inconsistencies in the Bible (Don't mention the glaring errors in the Koran, need for abrogation-Koran 2:106, 16:101 need for hadiths and commentaries..) while atheists etc were supposedly enticed via Islamic creationism!  All were given 'selective' materials!  Mohammad was presented as just like the Hebrew prophets---Christians were berated for rejecting Mohammad as Jews rejected Jesus!  Guilt and fear were common tools.
He sought a more accurate version of the Koran, romanticsed early Islam and wanted pan-Islam, not freedom or democracy and believed it achievable via oil money!  He took a Muslim first name, shunned music (Islam bans playing or listening to musical instruments) and only ate halal!

"the notorious “Yusuf Ali” Qur’an was a translation that pandered to Western liberal values attempting to lure non-Muslims to Islam! "

The greatest test to his belief came when he actually read an accurate translation of the Koran—Text came from Mohammad's vocal chords—if he was illiterate he had no idea what was written down!!  Most companions (also illiterate) memorized the Koran and many died in battle…..Was text tampered with?   Why did the supposedly clear Koran explained in detail and written in Arabic contain so many foreign words and need the ahadith and commentaries to explain it?

"an unbiased exegete would conclude that nothing “new” arrived with seventh-century Islam…. Truthfully, I found nothing “revealed” by Prophet Muhammad that couldn’t be influenced by or plagiarized from existing sources, especially from the Judeo-Christian tradition (Tanakh, Talmud, New testament, apocryphal works). Everything Islamic could be traced to pre-Islamic origins, from theology to pilgrimage rites."

"To my discovery, the Islamic deity was actually the generic anthropomorphic Sky Father abound in popular mythology. He was afflicted with psychological infirmities such as megalomania, melancholy, and malevolence. ….As an omniscient entity, he should have exhibited irrevocable authorship in his scripture, instead of acting capricious by amending and abrogating revelations like a fallible redactor confused about what He should have written initially. …..

"The god of Islam, likely just Muhammad’s alter-ego, displayed masculinity, anger, indecision, misogyny, and other moral weaknesses unbefitting of a majestic deity. Between Muhammad and Allah, there was an uncanny resemblance in personality."

"The deity was fictitious and cruel, the founder deplorably barbaric and sinful, the scripture mediocre and uninspired, the laws primitive and unjust. I perceived Muhammad as a fraud and Allah as his imaginary friend."

"With two garbage bags, I eagerly erased Islam from my life…..Never had I eagerly renounced an attachment with such certainty and resentment"

"But the reality is, where Christians sought forgiveness for sinners, Muslims sought punishment. Muslims prayed towards an inanimate object (i.e., the Ka’bah at Makkah), while Christians prayed towards the heavens. Ahl us-Sunnah proudly ate on the floor with their hands like animals, while the kuffar used chairs and utensils like rightly guided people. As for the corpus of Islam, unable to find a shred of originality, I concluded the Qur’aan as the most unoriginal composition in religion."

He noted changes made to suit Mohammad's whims, hatred of Jews and political propaganda.  He questioned the absurd requirements for prayer rituals, the pagan rituals of the hajj, Islam's idol worshipping, jinns, kissing the Koran and Arab supremacy as prayers and Koranic readings had to be in Arabic!

"we had to become Arab to be Muslim."

He noted the Islamic world was a catastrophe of confused, inconsistent text, with Mohammad as infallible hero—and that Muslims lied, made free thinking and dissent criminal and ignored Islamic violence/atrocities obviously committed in the name of allah the world over while claiming Muslims were the best of people (3:110)

"The greatest threat to dogmatism is doubt because thinking leads to kufr (disbelief). Islam thought for us"

"Ironically, freethinking and open-mindedness brought me to tolerate their da’wah and convert. I embraced Islam and gave Allah my undivided worship. But because I now kindly disagree, Islamic scholars say I should be killed. Even moderate Muslims living in the West concede with my death sentence."

"I found it deplorable that Muhammad, a man over fifty years of age, married six year-old ‘Aishah and then consummated the marriage when she was nine. His hatred for the Jews rivaled the antisemitism of Adolf Hitler. The Prophet, supposedly guided by God, did not abolish slavery but actually possessed slaves. He waged systematic campaigns to exterminate opponents. I came from a civilization where murder was considered, believe it or not, wrong? I had to draw the line somewhere."

"As blindly obedient slaves of Allah, resultantly, believers became subdued as mentally comatose Islamobots without the ability to doubt, question, or scrutinize."

"We had to agree with the inferiority of women, the amputation of the hand for thieves, and antisemitic hatred of the Jews. There was stoning of women and animal sacrifices. Even the incentives of Islam were ignoble. Paradise, an apparent Club Med in the sky, contained earthly sensuality and materialism catering to primitive man, such as numerous women, wine, and couches. A married Muslimah would spend eternity attending her husband as he titillated with numerous women in bed. A sensible man should expect better treatment for his wife (i.e., an equal human being that is someone’s daughter, sister, or mother). No progressive interpretation of such scripture could hide the ignominiousness."

"As an apostate of Islam, similar to all dissidents, I keep my views hidden. But on one occasion, I confessed about my apostasy and opinions to one Muslim and was almost physically assaulted….. For safety reasons, I kept up appearances and preferred to pose as a nominal or nonpracticing Muslim instead of an apostate."

This Fatawa (1978 - Egypt) describes how an Egyptian man turned apostate and the subsequent punishment prescribed for him by the Al-Azhr Fatawa council. Click of the image for translation.
  

"Before I was an agnostic, but after my experience with Islam, I’ve become an atheist"
"The religion of Prophet Muhammad kept me shackled from the diverse richness that is life. I’ve since rediscovered love; the unconditional loving-kindness and equal respect for all humankind, irrespective of gender, caste, race, language, nationality, religion, or lack there of"

"for the Muslims in the audience, a quotation from Stephen F. Roberts who eloquently said it best: “I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.”
