Ataturk-like Approach and Leadership Needed to Crush islamic Lunacy

Submitted by Domenic Pepe (United States), Jul 4, 2013 at 13:35

Voluntary unambiguous repudiation of islam itself by muslims themselves may be underway. The recent political, social and economic upheavals in Egypt, Turkey, Iran may be the precursors of the coming demise, among muslims themselves, of islamic belief and obedience to sharia law. In order to effectively implement such a welcomed outcome, a new Atatürk leader, or several new Atatürk-like leaders must arise within the muslim world. Ninety years ago Atatürk showed the way for muslims everywhere to assert their human freedoms and liberty. Atatürk embarked upon a program of political, economic, and cultural reforms, seeking to transform the former Ottoman Empire into a modern, secular, tolerant society free from islamic lunacy. In 1924, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk said

  "The religion of Islam will be elevated if it will cease to be a political instrument, as had been the case in the past."  

Ataturk officially abolished the caliphate and the sharia courts.

The removal of the caliphate was followed by an extensive effort to establish the separation of governmental and religious affairs. Education was the cornerstone in this effort. The islamic madrasas education was changed. Educational reform was linked to the liberation of the nation from islamic dogma. Muslim people everywhere now need Ataturk-like leaders to decisively and unambiguously repudiate islam's 1400 year legacy of repression, intolerance, barbarity, depravity, violence, intimidation, murder, misogyny, oppression, and general psychopathology promoted and inflicted by the islamic clergy and their lunatic followers of the koran and sharia. With Ataturk-like leadership throughout the islamic world, real reform and the demise of psychopathological islam can be achieved.
