Muslims need to be defeated in the war for the bandwidth

Dear Dr Pipes, Thanks for confirming the news about Hijab being allowed in the dress code of British Airways. I first read this news in the Times of India. Your citation about this news is from the outfit muslimmirror.com.

There is no dearth of small Islamic outfits on the Internet that capture even the smallest news favoring Islam and publishing it. Anyone can spend a few hundred dollars per month and create an Islamic website on the Internet. In the current setup, the news is disseminated by major search engine and media companies of the world. To be politically correct these companies cannot censure or deprioritize any Internet URL that contains the word Muslim or Islamic. So it is more likely than not that a URL containing any Islamic identifier will be prioritized by these companies than suppressed. A URL containing the words Hindu, Christian, Israeli etc. will be judged as a backward or bigoted.

Muslims have an unfair advantage in the game of information dissemination. They are claiming more bandwidth than they deserve. All their negative doings are being hidden behind the liberal smoke screens. Muslim killers are now called terrorists and adjective 'Islamic' is now effectively banned.

We, the people, have to challenge Islam in this war of bandwidth. We need to say as often as possible and in as many places as possible that Islam has now become a backward religion compared to all others (that is, if it ever was a forward religion).

All, signs of backwardness are present in Islam. Islamic societies routinely suppress other religions. Islamic societies routinely suppress women. Islamic societies routinely suppress diversity. Islamic nations fight with each other and kill. Islamic nations fight with everyone else and kill. Islam destroys the signs of other religions (Bamiyan Buddhas, for example). Genocides based on religion are done by Muslims (as of the Yezidis). Islam has very little to show for scientific discoveries in the last few centuries. Islam neither adopts modern thought nor contributes to it. Democracy and freedom are luxuries that Islam offers to neither its own adherents nor to other. Islam has indeed become a force of backwardness. Muslims need to be told that.

I challenge the liberal journalists to write articles contrary to what I have said above. They need to prove me wrong by giving examples or they need to tell Islam to mend its ways.
