Inquisitive One said:The site owner makes an interesting promise on his site. He says that if anyone can prove him wrong, he will take down the site. I've passed the site and the information on to my British friends who are neck deep in apology for Islam and call anyone with a gripe about it a "bigot." I've suggested that they try to prove this former Muslim wrong.
The problem with sites like that is that they're useless. The Koran is the true, literal word of God and any Muslim who claims otherwise is worse than an infidel. No Muslim would give the time of day to anyone claiming to be an ex-Muslim. Or anyone who critizes Muhammed. They might kill them, but they sure as hell won't listen to them.
Groups like that are just as useless as groups who claim to speak for "peaceful Islam". They claim Islam has been "high jacked" by the extremists. They claim the terrorists are not following "true Islam". They're full of shit. It's the extremists who are the true Muslims and the apologists very often are not the least bit sincere. And the deception is comical.
The problem with Islam is that so many people are totally ignorant about what it is. There is such a need to defend it, even by people who know nothing about it, because it's a "religion". Islam is the only religion I have ever seen liberals defend on message boards. They'll go out of their way to defend it, and many times these are the same people who will attack Christianity. They'll even use Christianity as some kind of half assed defense of Islam.
I stopped quoting from the Koran and Hadiths a long time ago. It does no good. People simply do not care what the Islamic texts say. They don't care that since 9/11 not a single prominent Muslim has condemned the attacks without some qualifying excuse or justification.
And I just love the people who think we should be looking for a "root cause" of terrorism. Oh, yeah, right. Let's look for that "root cause" by starting at America's hands and ending at Islam's door. Can't go there.
