The Problem is Islam, nor Muslims

The writer has almost hit the nail on the head. The problem is the view that "if you are not with me, you are against me", stems from Islam. People who become muslims imbibe it. couple of generations after the proslytisation, such attitude is inculcated from childhood. This aggressive conduct is found across continents, and nations. All lands are dar-ul-harb or lands of war, unless they are changed to dar-ul-islam, the lands of islam.

This is the reason why I am of the view that the hollowness of Islam has to be brought home to Muslims. It must be exposed as what it actually is: a political ideology pretending to be a religion. It is Arab imperialism which started in the seventh centure CE, and is still continuing. The Aim of Islam is the acquisition of the whole world. Until then, the mujahideen (one who wages jihad) will not rest. Indian Sultans during Delhi Sultanate period (12th to 15th century CE), declared themselves to be Sultans of Caliph, paid him tributes, and obtained titles and robes of honour from the Caliph. What more evidence is required to show that Islam is nothing but Arab imperialism? In the first five hundred years of Islam, it was simply unstoppable - from Spain in the West to Indonasia in the East show how Islam went about spreading its tantacles across continents.

European history may hold a lesson for us. Though Spain was occupied by Muslims as early as 7th Century, how did Islam get evicted form Spain, and how Christianity performed this feat merits study.

The writer's perception is quite correct about bloodshed and deaths. Before Islam fails an ideology, it will take unbelievably large number of lives. Islam started its campaing with blood. It cannot but end in bloodshed.
