The Dogmatism of Muhammed

The Dogmatism of Muhammad

As any of my readers know I am not an adherent to any religious doctrine nor am I a spiritual pseudo-intellectual zealot, but I take usually the position of atheism to maybe perhaps anti-theism. So stating this, the reader conceivably knows I am not partial to one mythology, but a staunch critic of its same versions of untruth. I am writing this particular essay on the “Prophet” Muhammad because Islam is currently the earths most rapidly expanding religion, managing to place its devotees to some of the worlds most prestigious political positions. I believe the delusion that Islam is a misinterpreted “religion of peace” is an utter lie propagated by those who have never bothered to read the Quran or the Hadith therefore maintaining their ignorance about this religion. Muhammad was in modern terms a practicing pedophile a practitioner of polygamy a mass executioner and religious dogmatist utterly blinded by his fanaticism. First I would like to show you the amazing maliciousness of this religion. First by disproving the myth that the Quran is the pinnacle of morality here are a few of the beautiful divinely inspired passages

"Slay them wherever you find them. Drive them out of the places from which they drove you. Idolatry is worse than carnage. . . . [I]f they attack you put them to the sword. Thus shall the unbelievers be rewarded: but if they desist, God is forgiving and merciful. Fight against them until idolatry is no more and God's religion reigns supreme. But if they desist, fight none except the evil-doers"(2:190–93).

"Fighting is obligatory for you, much as you dislike it. But you may hate a thing although it is good for you, and love a thing although it is bad for you. God knows, but you know not" (2:216).

I could keep quoting these repugnant verses but it would leave no time to spare and it would require too much space and besides I believe I made my point that Islam by its own doctrine and “holy book” is not the absolute moral goodness many people would have you believe. The next point I will make is that Muhammad himself is not a person to be emulated nor even to be taught was a decent person. Muhammad courted and betrothed a nine year old girl and of course took her virginity, an apologist would of course say it was different in these times but many historians would agree and disagree. The point I would make is an omniscient foretelling God would have with no doubt have told Muhammad that in the future people might look with disgust at the idea of intercourse with a pre-pubescent girl. Muhammad was not in the Jesuit sense a teacher or follower of pacifism he was a warrior, who fought the last decade of his years in Medina slaughtering Meccans. He had a Devine revelation in which he made the assertion Allah wanted him to wage war in his name and spread Islam by the point of a sword (thus making what seems a near prediction of the next millennium of Islam). Had Muhammad not been a warrior his religion might (wishful thinking) have been stopped on the Arabian Peninsulas but it instead leaked into the Byzantine and Persian empires through invasion of Arab armies.
Muhammad is not a decent person nor is the Quran a book to be taken literally stop selling this false myth and put Islam and all other religions in the category where they rightfully belong into the mythology section of literature.
