Islam as a form of insanity

Submitted by Ken Besig (Israel), Feb 5, 2009 at 05:07

If Moslems were to demand from themselves the same courtesy of speech, the same toleration of other religions, the same understanding of moral behavior, and other things, then perhaps non Moslems would neither fear nor hate them.

Almost always, however, Moslems excuse or justify their own physical or verbal violence against non Moslems, that is, Infidels, as permitted by Islam, Moslems slander or libel other religions with wanton abandon and yet scream bloody murder if someone does the same to Islam, Moslems routinely call for non Moslems to abandon their own faith, and yet prescribe a death penalty for Moslems who convert to non Moslem religions, and almost unbelieveably, some groups of Islam, like the Shiites, actually murder other kinds of Moslems like the Sunnis, in the name of yes, that's right, Islam, the Religion of Peace. Dr. Pipes, this isn't just normal human inconsistency or error, this is a schizophrenia of the highest order, and it calls itself Islam.

Thus I can only conclude that Mohammed was the closest thing they had in those days to a psychotic, misongynistic, pedophilic, serial mass murderer who must have escaped from a mental institution and then went on to produce a diseased and twisted hate filled tome he called the Koran which has gone on to infect millions with the same insanity he suffered from.
