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>
