Charlotte Capitalist Blog Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 By Andy from The Charlotte Capitalist,cross-posted by MetaBlog Islam, 1984, & Moderates Ed Cline at Rule of Reason: It is not possible to win the "hearts and minds" of dedicated, or even semi-dedicated Muslims. Islam is one of the most "heartless" of religions. It tolerates good will among only Muslims, and even then it is conditional. As for kaffirs and other non-believers, it is open season on them at the whim of Islam's clerics and rulers. And as for "minds," Islam is more hostile to them than is Christianity. It is a "God says so because Mohammad said so" faith from top to bottom. This is why one rarely hears from "moderate" Muslims. They are caught between allegiance to the rational and allegiance to the utter irrationality of Islamic tenets and dictates, their convictions divided between remaining loyal to Allah and heeding Mohammad and being loyal to some semblance of wanting to live on earth (just as many Christians are, but much more pathologically). He compares Islam to Orwell's 1984. Check it out.</b></em> http://ObjectivismOnline.com/blog/archives/002150.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
