A Critical Analysis of 'Real Islam'. Its People ... - Bukti dan Saksi

It is a bitter pill for Muslims to see inferior ‘Infidels’ enjoying bountiful fruits of their industry while
large numbers of ‘brothers’ and their families flounder in relative poverty. Such feelings of jealousy and
outrage also further stoke the flames of angry, expansionist Islam. The restricted, repressive economic
model of Islam is the root cause of poverty and economic stagnation in societies based on it, but the
blame is easily shifted to ‘repressive’ neighboring peoples and religions. So Islam itself seems designed
to perpetrate both the root neediness, and the goals and methods which the political movement must
employ to satisfy those needs (conquest and plunder) …how terribly convenient.
But what else can we hope from the example of a man who could only show his followers how to
assassinate and plunder enemies to get gain. Muhammad never created wealth through legitimate means,
yet he became very wealthy, but only at the expense of a host of hard-working innocent victims. His
example and revelations were intended more to help himself in recruitment efforts aimed at men he
sought to participate in his core business. His cut of the exploits were profitable whether he participated in
the murder and plunder or not. Of course, not everyone can be a bandit, much larger numbers must toil
the soil and produce/improve the lands and merchandise to make the system work for the few thugs who
benefit from such an unsustainable system.
If good-hearted, intelligent, and hard-working Muslims can not quite find enough humanistic reasons
in the example of Muhammad and his devout followers worldwide to leave the religion, then one might
hope that pure economic self-interest will do the trick. On almost every plane of human existence
(spiritual, economic, intellectual, emotional, physical) Islam is a heavy ball-and-chain preventing both
individual and economic progression. Forced obedience to any cult through fear, coercion, ignorance, and
lust creates vice instead of virtue, stagnation instead of growth. My heart goes out to all the good families
trapped in Islam. May they all find the means and support necessary to survive the ordeal until enough of
their fellows gain sufficient enlightenment and strength to wrest their lands and families from the blight.
The Women of Islam
We have seen clearly into the mind and heart of male Islamic terrorists and the ‘moderate’ Muslims
who actively or passively support them, but what about the women of Islam. What could possibly drive
them to continue their allegiance to the causes of Muhammad? There are many women who have escaped
Islamic bondage who have written quite eloquently about the ordeals of women in the Muslim world. The
author must defer to those numerous testaments and will not explore the details of living as a Muslim
woman in Muslim lands. This work is dedicated to understanding the motivations of Muslims on Jihad,
and so Muslim men in particular. The author admits that his insights into the feminine Muslim culture is
very limited, and that he is not qualified to say what makes Muslim women become or remain devoted
followers of Muhammad. I will, however, express an opinion without the usual evidentiary backing.
A former Muslim woman has provided care for my young children, and her good nature and strong
sense of family values are beyond reproach. She sacrifices and works for her family, and genuinely cares
for others in general. Her work ethic and dedication to family seems to exceed the maternal instincts of
many Christian women I have known. My suspicion is that Muslim women participate in Islam out of
necessity, because there are no alternate options, and because they have a strong natural maternal instinct
and have great love for their children. Beyond that, I can’t imagine why they practice the religion, as it
seems to this author that Islam has little to offer women. It’s a mystery wrapped in an enigma, but I hope
to understand it one day.
Islamic paradise, that very carnal place envisioned by Islamic Jihadists, does not seem to apply to
Muslim women. Indeed, it would seem that even if their husbands virility were increased a hundred fold,
that the 70+ virgins, all the pretty little boys running around, the other wives, and the slave-concubines,
might leave a Muslim girl wondering if she will be the beneficiary of any attention at all from an adoring
(if not exhausted) husband. When you speak of paradise to Muslim women, they seem at a loss to
characterize their afterlife in any but very nebulous abstract terms. What is very carnal, visual, and well
defined for men is much less than clear for poor Muslim women. Muhammad’s revelations were
obviously intended more to help in his recruitment efforts, aimed at men he sought to participate in his
exploits. Another potential problem in the logic of Islamic paradise is this; as Muslim men practice their
new found virility on the Houris (celestial virgins) there would seem to be a constant need in Muslim
