  • About Islam And What It Means
    By: Amy Long | - In an introduction to Islam, it is easy to think of Taoism, with its emphasis on conformity to the nature of things or to the governing principle of the universe. For Muslims, however, this is personalized (though some of the more philosophical might view this as largely rhetorical or symbolic) for the universe is governed by a personal deity, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacoband of Ishmael, the progenitor of the Arabs; the God of Jesus but also of Muhammad. Islam means submission to thi ...

  • The Dangers Of Political Islam
    By: C. Read | - Islam is not a religion in some cases but a political movement designed to take over the world and create one where Islam is the ruling power.

Unfortunately, those same countries are doing what they can to dispel the beliefs of other religions, particularly Christianity which is seen as a very powerful religion an ...

  • Islam Is Fascist
    By: C. Read | - Fascist Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world. What has some people concerned is not so much as the growth of the religion, but the beliefs that many who are practicing Islam are holding and spreading forth to others. Islam is Fascist in that it stifles any other form of thought, including other religious beliefs and often does so with threats of violence. Those who oppose Islam can be subjected to murder in some countries, even in western countries where there is a general belie ...

  • Islam "€" The Importance Of Right Knowledge
    By: Noor Islam | - The purpose of knowledge of Islam is to give us the manners, character and good behavior to carry the message of Islam to humanity. However, Muslims today are deprived of it; on personal level, family level, within the Muslim community, with non-Muslims, while at the masjid or even at the haram. We have lost a lot of adab, which is a reflection of lack of Iman and proper understanding of the deen.

  • Methods Of Deception - The Radicals Of The Left And The Radicals Of Islam
    By: Howard Jacobs | - People on the left have often appeared to excuse Muslim acts of terror saying things such as "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter." At the same time, the left has seemingly become more anti-Israel and anti-American. It seems as if it is a contradiction that people on the left, who supposedly have gay rights, women's rights, and separation of church and state as their core values, would so often side with a group that goes against all these main principles.

  • Ramadan And Lailatul-qadr
    By: Noor Islam | - A lot of people worship in the middle of Shabaan and elevate it to the night of Lailatul Qadr. There is no authentic hadith about the middle of this Shabaan. On Lailatul Qadr, Allah (SWT) looks at the book containing everything from the beginning of creation to the end (Kitabul Mubin). He looks to the book of human beings. He shares this knowledge with us to tell us that we will have to go back to him. He created the pen, the pen asked what should I write, Allah said, write everything.

  • 2nd Part : Pre-modern Pagan Fascisms. Islam Is One Amongst Many.
    By: C. Read | - There is something to these criticisms, though the Christian church has literally 1000s of sects including many which join faith to reason. But the criticism is clear. It is not just 'Orientalism's which prey on people and promise to turn 'chaos into order' and reward the great and good who follow the program with benefits in this life, and perhaps in a next incarnation. Early forms of Judaism which birthed Christianity, were akin in some ways to Islamic pagan ritualization. The Jewish church in ...

  • Pre-modern Pagan Fascisms. Islam Is One Amongst Many.
    By: C. Read | - One of the mysteries of the modern world, is the fetish that society, and pop culture has for true fascism. Real fascism is of course the destruction of the individual, and the sublimation of the person into a cult be it one run by the state, a party, or an elite professing 'spiritual faith'. Fascism in the industrialized world emanates from Marxism, Socialism and Statism. It is a left-wing construct in which the resources of the state are used to deny the individual, and elevate the communal. I ...

  • Islam Demands That France Conform To The Moon Cult
    By: C. Read | - There are at least 8 million legal and illegal Muslims in France out of a total population of 55 million. The government lies for obvious reasons when it estimates the number at only 5 million. With Muslim birthrates of 3-4 children per women [in comparison with 1.2 for non-Muslim women]; and Muslim immigration of more than 100.000 per annum, fully 40% of France will be Islamified by 2050. We will then be able to view the fruits of the moribund, nescient and uninformed policy called 'multi-cultu ...

    By: C. Read | - The theme is clear and one which appeals to those who believe in the literal nature of Christian liturgy. Since it is true that Islam is the opposite of Christianity [there is little dispute about this for anyone who has even a modicum of knowledge about the Koran, and Islamic imperialism], it naturally follows that the future appearance of the Mahdi or the 12th Imam of Islamic theology, who according to Muslim belief will rule the world, would represent to Christian believers the very essence o ...

  • A Brief History Of Psychics
    By: Brady Hill. | - The role of psychics in society has a long and tumultuous history. Over 2000 years ago in Egypt, psychics or "seers" were highly regarded. They provided a valuable service and were often a permanent fixture on the Pharoah's staff, being consulted on issues both large and small. This was a great job -- as long as their recommendations were accurate. Inaccuracy could result in one's death! So much for retirement benefits!

    After the Islam, Jewish and Christian religions got popular with ...

    Other communities were also developing, by other rivers like Indus which is in today's India/Pakistan and much closer by Eufrat and Tigris in Mesopotamia.

    By: C. Read | - Allah comes from ali-ilah which was the name for the Meccan moon deity protected in the Kabah shrine by Mohammed's family. These are just facts. So you can imagine the amazement of any rational, sentient human who understands both the pre- and post-history of Islam; to learn from the cultural Marxist's that an Arab family cult is magically the equivalent to the Christian idea of 'God' a concept by the way which has many variations and interpretations. Allah is not 'God' it is what it was ...

  • Why Is Islam A Religion ?
    By: C. Read | - The only thing saving Islam from being branded what it is a pagan Fascism of unfettered violence is its status as a religion. But why it that status accorded to an Arabian moon cult based around the Meccan moon deity Ali-ilah and denied for instance in many countries to Scientology, and those who believe that humans came from an alien race ? Islam is no more credible in its theology than the followers of the grinning Bishop Cruise. The only difference is that Muslims have conflated moon ...

In fact Obamed and his coterie are so intelligent, nuanced, complicated and 'progressive' that we now have Muslim terrorists, responsible for the carnage of 9-11, being tried in a US civil court.
