suspension of disbelief

The reaction of most people when confronted with the truth about Islam ( radical or not) is disbelief. Most react with "Not all.." or .."You can't fault the entire religion" The facts are just too unpleasant to contemplate. That a belief system motivated by the philosophy of a singular individual, Mohammed, which can be summed up with "Submit or die". Compromise is not an option, discussion is meaningless, Islam demands and the followers obey.

All social, commercial,political and religious as well as indivduals activities must submit to the predetermined path of Al Lah, "The god". Rational choice even to determine which leader to follow is denied. "The god" will not even speak to women, seen as unclean,evil,and property of the males. Leaving the Mohammedians is punishable by death, embracing any other religion is death. Women are perpetually subservient. How could anyone accept that in this 21st century such a hideous social construct could exist, much less be accepted by and even advanced by the elites in many cultures.Soon the unaccountable Mohammedian enthusiasts will have a nuclear bomb. As the will of "The god" will surely dictate, the destruction of Mohammed's antithesis, the Hebrews. No wonder that the civilized ,rational human being denies the reality of Mohammed and his minions.
