It wouldnt be so bad if Islam was a reasonable theology, that had been subjected to a wholesome and open debate in public, without any threat of violence, but it isnt, and it hasnt.
Fortunately, we have the Internet and can do our own researches in private, and frankly it is disturbing, as follows:
1. It is claimed by many Muslims, that the Koran is the immutable word of god, when this is a provable nonsense. It just cannot be the word of any sort of coherent mind, being confusing, contradictory and factually wrong.
2. It is claimed that the Koran is written in the purest arabic. This is utter rubbish,it is written in the languages of the time and contains a mix of Syriac and Aramaic etc. There was/is no such thing as a pure form of arabic any more than there is a pure form of an aboriginal language today.
3.It is clearly practised by people who are very adept at using our tolerance, to project their own intolerance, and dont care how they divide families or communities.
4.Their hypocrisy is astounding. They ban the mere presence of alcohol at mixed social gatherings and then get on a plane to Malaysia, flying Malaysian Airlines, of all things, which says it is proud of its "fine selection of wines". Dont believe me, look at their web site.
Unless they change their ways across all forms of the religion we are in for nothing but trouble.
