Opinion: 'The Awesome Freedom to Choose'

Every human being is born into a culture and a religion, and or belief system, not of his or her own choosing, but determined primarily by his or her progenitors. I am sure that many decent, reasoning, Muslim men and women of good will, one day awoke in the cradle and saw Mom, Dad and the Mullah, and there wasn't much of a choice on their part about it!

But now as adults we all have, in the words of Professor Loren Eiseley "the awesome freedom to choose"! If I may be so bold to suggest, perhaps these "rational" Muslims should seek spiritual enlightenment elsewhere and convert to another religion! Hell, even being an atheist is far better than a self-immolating murdering Islamist blowing up innocent bystanders in the name of Allah, in order to impose and perpetuate a religion of violence, oppression, and obscurantism, that keeps women ignorant and oppressed in a Burqa, a mere possesion of their husbands, who in turn have, according to Sharia, the "moral and religious duty to beat-up their wives" for the smallest of transgressions; or who are willing to blow themselves up along with countless other innocent Muslim men women and children to gain political power through terror; or who behead innocent people for no other crime than being Jews or Christians, an accidental affiliation by birth in most cases, just as their own Islamic one, though a far more hateful and sinister ideology, is!

Some former Muslims have seen through this farce, and having the courage to think for themselves, left Islam, with its daily diet of violence, bloodshed, and mayhem, as we see on our television screens day in and day out!

One group of such former Muslims, has a web page (called Apostates of Islam) that is like a shining beacon to their fellow Muslims still shackled by the inhumanly fanatical faith that is radical Islam, in which they very eloquently debunk Islam for what it really is!

We are ex-Muslims. Some of us were born and raised in Islam and some of us had converted to Islam at some moment in our lives. We were taught never to question the truth of Islam and to believe in Allah and his messenger with blind faith. We were told that Allah would forgive all sins but the sin of disbelief (Quran 4:48 and 4:116). But we committed the ultimate sin of thinking and questioned the belief that was imposed on us and we came to realize that far from being a religion of truth, Islam is a hoax, it is hallucination of a sick mind and nothing but lies and deceits
.
What we believe:

Some of us have embraced other religions but most of us have simply left Islam without believing in any other religion. We believe in humanity. We believe that humans do not need to follow a religion to be good. All we need to follow is the Golden Rule. All we have to do is to treat others they way we expect to be treated. This is the essence of all the goodness. All good religious teachings stem from this eternal principle. This is the ultimate guidance humanity need. This is the Golden Rule.

Why Mohammed was not a prophet:

One who claims to be a messenger of God is expected to live a saintly life. He must not be given to lust, he must not be a sexual pervert, and he must not be a rapist, a highway robber, a war criminal, a mass murderer or an assassin. One who claims to be a messenger of God must have a superior character. He must stand above the vices of the people of his time. Yet Muhammad's life is that of a gangster godfather. He raided merchant caravans, looted innocent people, massacred entire male populations and enslaved the women and children. He raped the women captured in war after killing their husbands and told his followers that it is okay to have sex with their captives and their "right hand possessions" (Quran 33:50) He assassinated those who criticized him and executed them when he came to power and became de facto despot of Arabia. Muhammad was bereft of human compassion. He was an obsessed man with his dreams of grandiosity and could not forgive those who stood in his way. Muhammad was a narcissist like Hitler, Saddam or Stalin. He was astute and knew how to manipulate people, but his emotional intelligence was less evolved than that of a 6-year-old child. He simply could not feel the pain of others. He brutally massacred thousands of innocent people and pillaged their wealth. His ambitions were big and as a narcissist he honestly believed he is entitled to do as he pleased and commit all sorts of crimes and his evil deeds are justified.

Why Quran is not from God:

Muhammad produced no miracles and when pressed he claimed that his miracle is the Quran. Yet a cursory look at the Quran reveals that this book is full of errors. Quran is replete with scientific heresies, historic blunders, mathematical mistakes, logical absurdities, grammatical errors and ethical fallacies. It is badly compiled and it contradicts itself. There is nothing intelligent in this book let alone miraculous. Muhammad challenged people to produce a "Surah like it" or find an error therein, yet Muslims would kill anyone who dares to criticize it. In such a climate of hypocrisy and violence truth is the first casualty.
