I did watch today on BookTV , in horror, the last 30 minutes of a debate between Sam Harris and Reza Aslan of UCLA another apologist for islam and the author of "No God but God." Reza claims that the refoming of Islam is going on now! Just amazing!

Then he brags like Muslims do that he knows the Middle East and islam so well and Sam Harris has to stick to his neuroscience. The truth is political science is not really a hard core discipline to master but again he lives in a little fantasy world that is very dangerous more so when drivel like his is transmitted to us from educated Muslims that live among us and can shape the foreign policy of the US! I can only say there is no hope for reforming Islam because such reforming must take the first step of admitting that islam is a violent religion! That Islam is nothing but Arabian imperialism. The 9/11 atorcity was another nasty step by Muslims in the atoricities by Islam and Muslims against non Muslims that have went on for the past 1400 years. And until these crimes against humanity are admitted there is no hope for reforming Islam. I would also say that until Muslims admit that there are indeed doctrines in islam that would encourage muslims to committ such atrocity as the 9/11 atrocity and work on fixing such horrible doctrines there is no hope for refoming Islam.

He is of Iranian origin (I stand corrected here) and he ain't no Arab and he should know better what islam and Muslims did to his Persian civilization. But again he is another victim of the Stockholm Syndrome and of fantasy.

Here is one of his gems: Our dear Reza claims that al-Ikhwan al-Muslemeen (The Muslim Brotherhood) in Egypt is a such a progressive oragnization and that we have to listen to what they are saying drivel and all. This is the same organization whose fascist founder Hasan al-Bana the grand father of our dear Tariq Ramadan was an admirer of European fascists. He even advocated a "final solution" for what he called "The Coptic problem" not unlike Hitller's final solution for the Jewish problem!. al-Bana was an admirer of Hitler.

Aslan also seems to be unaware or in denial that the very few Msulims that want to face the evils in islam end by being killed. In 1992 the Egyptian seularist Farag Foda was killed by followers of the religion of peace, and the Muslim Brotherhood leadership applauded such crime, for saying that Islam has serious problems that must be faced head on and that the so called the golden age of islam or the time of the first 4 khalifas was nothing but time of wars and pain and destruction and misery and that 3 of the 4 were killed by other Msulims and so much for the golden age of islam. He even dared to demand that Copts in Egypt be treated as equal citizens in their own home land. But again our dear reza lives in La La land!

So our dear Reza says that there is really no problem with islam and the likes of Usama Bin Laden is just a minority and that muslims are working on reforming Islam!! We heard this one before. Oh well.

I would like to see what on earth a refomed islam is going to be. Scary thought indeed.

But again shame on UCLA for hiring such a demagogue.
