Proof: Apostasy Is The Solution

Dr. Pipes, your article, Atheism among Muslims is "Spreading Like Wildfire," proves that even ex-Muslims who are now Atheists saw no merit in any form of Islam including a "moderate form" of that ideology. Although there has been much attempt to reform Islam and introduce a moderate version, the question is: How can you reform or moderate an ideology that fundamentally devout Muslims sincerely believe is their complete and inviolable sacred text and laws drawn from the Qu'ran and Ahadith, sayings of the prophet, Muhammad? (Reference Qur'an 6:115) Additionally, if Moderate Islam means to practice that religion without violent jihad there is still the proselytizing which all Muslims are obligated to engage in and that is to help convert the entire world to the belief in accepting their god, Allah, and accepting that Muhammad was, without question, the last and final prophet of Allah to mankind. So-called Moderate Muslims are in action right now through groups such as the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Interfaith efforts, led by CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood are actively influencing America's politicians, Military, Law Enforcement, Clergy, Educators and Media in what is called "Dawah," the invitation to embrace Islam as the only way to peace. As you know, it is incumbent for all devout Muslims to invite non-Muslims to accept Islam as the true religion above all others until Islam reigns supreme and Sharia law is established upon the entire earth. That obligation has been going on for more than 1400 years and has become even more emboldened with the recent withdrawal of U.S. and coalition troops from Afghanistan which the Taliban and Muslim world rejoice in what they deem is a great victory over the "unbelievers." While the leaders in Western societies continue to fall for the deceptive narrative that Islam is a peaceful religion it would be well worth heeding the words and testimony of Mosab Hassan Yousef, aka "Son of Hamas," in this short video from May 2016 (14 min -52 sec) https://youtu.be/tZ7vCXPo-VI
This will help explain why many are choosing to reject that oppressive and theocratic indoctrination taught in the Muslim world. Thus, the new phrase should be "Islam Is The Problem, Apostasy Is The Solution."
