depravity, is to many Muslims wonderful examples <strong>of</strong> pure spirituality. If a spirit is involved with such<br />

human depravity, it can only be an evil spirit, and could not be a spirit based on kindness, love, mercy,<br />

and forgiveness. Those who take pleasure from someone else’s pain are correctly called Sadists, and are<br />

mentally and emotionally maladjusted (ill). In Iraq, nary a peep is heard as devout brothers kill while<br />

using a white flag as a cover, civilians are exploited as shields, or passers-by are blown apart with or<br />

without damaging the declared enemy. Add to this the deafening silence connected to hundreds <strong>of</strong><br />

kidnapping <strong>of</strong> civilians, UN and NGO workers, and the decapitation <strong>of</strong> all such "prisoners." In Muslim<br />

minds, condemnation remains unthinkable for reasons <strong>of</strong> a faith and a theology which dehumanizes all<br />

non-Muslims.<br />

Acts by sadistic terrorists produce by design extreme human suffering and pain to innocent and<br />

unsuspecting victims. Instead <strong>of</strong> an act <strong>of</strong> wanton brutality and murder producing shame for the family <strong>of</strong><br />

the perpetrator, it is common for a festive ceremony known as "the wedding <strong>of</strong> the martyr" ('irs al-shahid)<br />

to be held in honor <strong>of</strong> the murderer. The celebration is held to symbolize the murders wedding in paradise<br />

with 72 virgins. At these events, the family receives guests who <strong>of</strong>fer more congratulations than<br />

condolences for their son's martyrdom. Feb 28, 2005, suicide bomber Raid Mansour al-Banna detonated a<br />

car bomb at a busy bazaar in Hilla Iraq, killing 132 Muslims and seriously injuring 120 more. Iraqis were<br />

incensed that a 'irs al-shahid was celebrated by the Jor<strong>dan</strong>ian family <strong>of</strong> the murderer. But would these<br />

same angry Iraqi people objected if the victims had been Americans, Jews, Russians, Hindus, Christians,<br />

or , or would these same concerned Muslims likely have attended that hated<br />

celebration. Today, many worldwide take glee witnessing the various beheadings, executions, and other<br />

unspeakable images shown repeatedly on Arabic satellite TV to a demanding audience. Tongues click in<br />

many ‘peaceful’ households for what passes as spirituality to these people. In an ongoing blatant example<br />

<strong>of</strong> Islamic hypocrisy, a deafening silence is observed throughout the Arab world while horrendous crimes<br />

continue to be committed by Muslim Arabs against their Muslim brothers, sisters, and children in Su<strong>dan</strong>.<br />

Islamic leaders strain and choke on a sand fly, yet it seems an adult camel can easily slide down their<br />

throat.<br />

Honor killings are yet another blight tarnishing Islamic claims to be the worlds ‘best’ religion. The<br />

same culture that requires a son to brutally murder a daughter to 'preserve family honor', also celebrates<br />

wholesale murder <strong>of</strong> innocents, both considered pious acts justified to defend the demands <strong>of</strong><br />

family/religious ‘honor’. It’s a strange thing, this Islamic concept <strong>of</strong> honor. As George Orwell said;<br />

"There are spectacles before which even satire herself stands mute." Duplicity is the ability to articulate<br />

and adhere to two completely opposing moral standards at the same time, and is a sign <strong>of</strong> both intellectual<br />

immaturity and moral bankruptcy. Sadly, even reading these words, most Muslims will refuse to see any<br />

contradictions whatsoever, the natural result <strong>of</strong> a lifetime <strong>of</strong> conformity to Islam and shunning critical<br />

thought. Anger is the only reaction allowed to words not gushing with praise and adulation towards Islam.<br />

If Islam really were a great and peaceful religion, we might expect peace, prosperity, and enlightenment<br />

to break out all over in lands it governs. Instead everywhere Islam goes, all the locals get is poverty,<br />

oppression, corruption, murder, rape, and thievery. The facts on the ground confirm this, notwithstanding<br />

the vigorous, <strong>of</strong>ten threatening denials <strong>of</strong> Islamists. "How beautiful the Emperors robe", they exclaim,<br />

while the rest <strong>of</strong> the world sees the ugly nakedness <strong>of</strong> a violent people and culture. "Islamophobic bigot!"<br />

they scream, as they sharpen their blades and plan their next vile act in the name <strong>of</strong> their hateful God<br />

Allah. Today's Middle East is a region where even words have been systematically corrupted.<br />

Dictatorship is called "nationalism", stealing is called "Jizya", terrorism is called "holy war", murder is<br />

called "martyrdom", and terrorists have become "insurgents".<br />

The intractable problems embedded within Islamic doctrine and culture is <strong>of</strong>ten quite obvious, to<br />

anyone but Muslims who seem to have their Islamic blinders super-glued on. As in Gene Roddenberry's<br />

classical Star Trek ‘Borg’ culture, individuality and humanity were the first causalities <strong>of</strong> Muhammad’s<br />

Ummah (Muslim collective). Normal human reasoning and feeling were replaced with teachings and<br />

practices which serve to blunt conscience, suppress the heart, and cloud the mind. Muhammad’s ‘religion’<br />

supplanted any opportunity for individual virtue and spiritual growth, replacing it instead with required<br />

obedience to a culture steeped in misogamy, bigotry, racism, and violence. Whereas most <strong>of</strong> us see<br />

ourselves as humans first and consider other humans as sanctioned beings, Muslims see themselves as
