CAIR....the Council on American-Islamic Relations has invited Americans to study Islam. Although they didn't send me a personal invitation, some discoveries were derived from free inquiry.

First of all, the more that I study Islam and its basic tenets, and the more that it reveals through its practices, the more it's pathologies become abundantly apparent. Some initial tidbits that are worth considering are:

Christ died for his religion. Muhammed murdered for his. New York, D.C., and London just continue a practice that began 1400+ years ago.

The Judeo-Christian God burned his basic code into stone. Muhammed's came in dreams, were promulgated, then frequently abrogated.... the old delete button.

The commandment that "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife" didn't stop old "M", he wanted her, he took her.

Remember "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's - unto the Lord, that which is the Lord's." Not in Islam, no secular authority. It's Sharia or the "highway"(actually no-way, because you're dead).

Christ said "join me". As for Muhammed and the mindless sheep that follow his violent ways, it's "join me or die".

Christ said "he who is without sin, cast the first stone". Bur we all know about Muhammed and his thugs, it's "Find me some rocks so that we may perform Allah's will".

Christ said "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do". But that doesn't quite cut it for Muhammed, he says "Kill the Infidel".

Islam says: No wine, no women, no songs. Steal something and lose a hand. Do it again, lose a foot. No "cruel and unusual punishment" modifiers.

According to Islam, if you are the sister of a rapist, you get stoned. Now that makes sense.

Muslim's can shred Bibles and blow-up ancient Buddhas, but "don't you Infidels touch the Q'uran with your dirty hands".

Q'uran says the earth is flat. It's Allah's word. The space program confirms that the earth is spherical............Allah's never wrong !!!

The chains of Islam bind tightly. There is both a temporal and spiritual despotism. Islam has revealed itself to be anti-intellectual, misogynistic, and nihilistic. It is in need of a Reformation and an Enlightenment. Whether that is possible is problematic.

Perhaps the Muslims should become Jews. Here's a piece on Middle Eastern statistics that was written about a year ago......

Israel is the ultimate "bogeyman" of the Middle East, and the entire Muslim world.

Get rid of the Jews, the Islamists insist, drive them into the sea, and all of the Muslim problems will evaporate.

But look for Israel on a globe......damned if you can find it.

It occupies only 8019 square miles of the planet. That, folks, is the size of my county, or the state of Massachusetts..... a smidgen of real estate 40miles X 200 miles. There are only 5.8 million Israeli citizens, and only 13 million Jews in the entire world. Israel's GDP is 105.4B annually. There is simply not enough "throw weight" to screw up the lives of Israel's neighbors or the Muslim faithful even if the Jews worked 24/7 to attempt it.

Let's compare Israel to its Muslim neighbors:

POPULATION AREA GDP
Egypt 68.4 M / 386660 Sq.M. / $200.0B
Iran 65.6 / 636293 / $347.6
Iraq 22.7 / 168754 / $59.9
Jordan 5.0 / 34445 / $16.0
Saudi 22.0 / 756981 / $191.0
Syria 16.3 / 71498 / $42.2

Totals 200.0 M / 2,054,631 sq.mi. / $856.7B

Israel's Muslim neighbors have 34.5 times the population, 256.2 times the land, and ALL of the oil.
Yet, Israel, with only 2.9% of the population, and only 0.39% of the land, generates 12.3% of the wealth.

The last statistic is revealing. It begs the question.....how can so few Jews, on so little land, create so much wealth compared to their neighbors.

What are the Israeli's doing right, or the Muslim's doing wrong?
Middle Eastern Muslims should be seeking answers to that question.

End of lecture,class. Have a good weekend.
