Islam,

Having read your comments, I must say that once more I am totally discouraged how humanity continues to play God in the most arrogant way. Islam is not excluded from my accusations.

Of course humanity's ability to complicate matters is not new; throughout history, humanity has enjoyed complicating itself with the establishment of systems --political, social, and ideological-- to the point that some kind of conflict follows. I call it 'complicating the uncomplicated.'

Islam complicates the uncomplicated, or at least adds another totalitarian twist of complication to the world. But there was one person who in fact did notice this human trend, and decided to do something about it: Jesus Christ.

He arrived at a major crossroad, to uncomplicate the religious systems of the past, and to establish an answer for the future knowing quite well that the winds of complication will be rising again (ie Islam).

What Islam has failed to do within thousands of useless pages, Jesus took care of with less than one hundred pages of His own statements documented in the New Testament, as to how to conduct yourself in the public, and spiritual life, and to live harmoniously.

There is no hiding it anymore: Islam is violent, and to say it is peaceful is to say in equal terms that "Saddam Hussein was a peaceful man, loving and caring", or, "Communism promotes freedom".

The world is learning the hard way that this is not the case.

I declare that Islam shall not survive because it will collapse from its own weight of complications and deprivation of freedom to all. But just like the Nazis, the world may have to face its evil intent before Islam is extinguished forever, with the innocent population finally embracing the loving simplicity behind the words of Jesus Christ, the Liberator of humanity.
