Gee, the forces of reaction and Islamophobia have crawled out from under their rocks to denigrate the article. Nowhere do any of these ignoramuses actually respond to the substance of the article but instead avoid the real issue - the violence of Western imperialism.

Jay of Melbourne,

What utter bulldust!!

we are talking about Islam here- not about your mad rabid antisemitic garbage!!

Get a life.

Hi Bigmal,

So, since the Koran as delivered to Muhammad is supposed to be an exact copy of the Perfect Book held by Allah in Paradise, unchangeable and uncriticisable, are you suggesting Allah preferred to speak in Aramaic, a Jewish language ?

As for Muslim vs Western violence. let's see: this past week, car-bombings in Iraq, Kabul, Pakistan; a brutal war in Syria; riots in Turkey and Tunisia. I don't recall any car-bombings in any Western country, or brutal civil war, or even riots, except maybe pretty tame affairs in Britain - and those in reaction to Muslim violence against an unarmed off-duty soldier.

When Westerners set off car-bombs against their own people, say in a market-place or pre-school centre - or somewhere even easier like an old people's home - I'll start to pay attention to the psychotic ravings of people like Mr Badar.

Until then, I'm forced to believe - by their actions - that Muslims are practicing tekkiah when they talk about a 'religion of peace'.

The last few in the list of 10 reasons why Islam is NOT a religion of peace.

7. Islam is the only religion that has to retain its membership by threatening to kill anyone who leaves. This is according to the example set by Muhammad.


8. Islam teaches that non-Muslims are less than fully human. Muhammad said that Muslims can be put to death for murder, but that a Muslim could never be put to death for killing a non-Muslim.


9. The Qur'an never once speaks of Allah's love for non-Muslims, but it speaks of Allah's cruelty toward and hatred of non-Muslims more than 500 times.


10. "Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!"
(The last words from the cockpit of Flight 93)

"Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!"

Also the terrifying chant used by the terrorists who butchered the British soldier as they tried to cut off his head in public view.

The same one whom Badar is drawing into his propaganda.

Truly a religion of peace!
