God belief preventing understanding and dispatching of Islam

Submitted by George Mason (United States), Sep 30, 2006 at 14:04

The argument about whether Allah is God is irrelevant. That people still entertain such thoughts these days tells us why we can neither fully understand or properly deal with Islam. The fact is that there are none of: God, gods, Allah, Yahweh, Jehovah, etc and so forth. Once such thinking has abandoned such nonesense and made congruent with reality and reason, one must conclude that Islam is based on fiction. But, then so are Christianity and Judaism. Belief is not fact, and only facts prevail in reality. Belief is a human construct serving only emotional "needs." Belief derails the ability to think at the level people need.

In sum, there is no Allah. Never has been, is not, never will be. No one can find any evidence to prove Allah's existence, not from facts (of reality is really a redundancy), and feelings are as much use as gum on the bottom of the shoe. Allah living in the meteorite in the Kaaba is as credible as any other assertions about Allah. It follows then that Muhammad was not a prophet of Allah, there being no Allah. Gabriel did not exist. There was no revealed word of Allah, thus no divinity to the koran. Islam is an entirely human creation that wars on mankind, starting with Muslims first. The codes of Islam are, in principle, disturbingly similar to the bases of Nazism and represent THE unifying explanation for all the jihadic behavior, regardless of group acting.

"Islam is a religion" is another meaningless statement. Islam is a toxic philosophy. Cleared of all the god obstacles, thinking about Islam clears up totally.
