Science and Islam

Hamid,

You write like a brainwashed child. Your prophet was just such a great person. So perfect. Everything just all perfect. My three year old son has more wisdom than you.

... I am a very busy man. I study physics. I study the great discoveries throughout the ages of a parade of brilliant thinkers. I only have time to respond to one particular piece of your gibberish before I get back to doing something useful with my time. It's this particular statement:

"Many schloars, writers and scientists have accepted Islam. Out of them 2/3 are women. Please think for a moment who is forcing them to accept Islam. The only reason is that when they read Quran seriously and explore Islam--- it becomes impossible for them not to accept it as it is the truth."

Hamid, my comment is probably going to hurt. It's probably going to sting like somebody slapped you in the face very hard. I want you to be prepared. Brace yourself.

Hamid, essentially every great scientist since about 1400 A.D. was either a Christian or Jew. Essentially no Muslims. In the twentieth century, probably one third of all the THOUSANDS of brilliant men and women who have CREATED the world YOU live in were the "sons of APES and PIGS" as the Koran says of JEWS. All the technology surrounding you. Look at the computer in from of you. Infidels invented every bit of everything about it. The keyboard, the disc drive with its astonishing capacity, the monitor, the cathode ray tube or liquid crystal display, the power supply, the battery, the CPU performing BILLIONS of computations every second, etc. etc. etc. Computers? Semiconductors? Transistors? Batteries? Lights? Televisions? Etc. Et.c No MUSLIM in sight. Nothing. Nothing but occasional obstruction. A suicide bomber here or there.

The Muslims' contribution to CREATING the world in which you live? That keeps you alive through its medicines? That allows you to communicate with its phones and computers and televisions? What have Muslims done to create any of this? NOTHING. Even with the ERRORLESS guidance of the KORAN, which has the SOLUTION to EVERYTHING. Muslims have created NOTHING. Or should I say ZERO? Oh, the Muslims invented the idea of zero, right? No, it was the HINDUS. Those POLYTHEISTS.

Does it hurt that the great scientists are pretty much ALWAYS CHRISTIANS and JEWS? Does it hurt that DIRTY INFIDELS more or less CREATED the world in which you live? Miracles come from ALLAH, right? Then why is it the only MIRACLES you will EVER witness are the scientific and technological accomplishments of JEWS and CHRISTIANS? Doesn't that CONFUSE your mind endlessly? How did these alcoholic, immoral, dirty infidels do it?

Don't worry, Hamid. The painful HUMILIATION of realizing you've believed a MINDLESS CULT all your life will eventually go away. In the mean time, give up your silliness and go do something USEFUL with yourself.

If you insist, even after being so thoroughly humiliated after realizing essentially NOTHING GOOD HAS COME FROM ISLAM, then go preach your "solution to humanity" ...
