Salman Rushdie was attacked as he was about to give a lecture. The attack demonstrates his point that Islam is not the religion of peace and that there is nothing holy about the Koran.
I don’t think even Muslims believe they’re a religion of peace, at least not in the genuine sense of tranquility. They believe in peace through war and conquest. If conquered and forcibly converted to Islam there will be relative peace.

I've been meaning to read this book just to see what all the fuss is about. I think it was just a satirical work of fiction criticizing Islam
I remember when the book was first published he had to go into hiding and even the publisher had an attempt on his life
This is why Sam Harris has declined to have his work translated into Arabic languages because he doesn't want to be responsible for a publisher getting killed

They certainly have killed and enslaved Christians in Sudan recently. The rest of the world they are strategically sending out to the west, Europe and North America, to conquer through a population explosion.

The worst thing by far is this.

In Dr. Peter Hammond’s book, “Slavery, Terrorism and Islam,” he documents the way Muslims slowly develop a presence in
various countries, and as their population numbers build, become more aggressive and assertive about exercising Sharia law.


“Islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult. In its fullest form, it is a
complete, total, 100% system of life,” Dr. Hammond notes in his book.


“Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, social, and military components.
The religious component is a beard for all of the other components.”


Their takeover of a country, what Dr. Hammond refers to as “Islamization,” begins when the
population of Muslims reaches a critical mass, and they being to agitate for various privileges.


Open, free, democratic societies are particularly vulnerable. “When politically correct, tolerant, and culturally diverse societies
agree to Muslim demands for their religious privileges, some of the other components tend to creep in as well,” he notes.


This is how it works, according to Dr. Hammond:

When the Muslim population remains under 2% in a country, they will be seen primarily as
a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to other citizens. This was the situation in 2015:


United States — Muslim 0.6%

Australia — Muslim 1.5%

Canada — Muslim 1.9%

China — Muslim 1.8%

Italy — Muslim 1.5%

Norway — Muslim 1.8%

As the Muslim population reaches 2% to 5%, they begin to recruit from ethnic minorities
and disaffected groups, within prisons and street gangs. This is happening in:


Denmark — Muslim 2%

Germany — Muslim 3.7%

United Kingdom — Muslim 2.7%

Spain — Muslim 4%

Thailand — Muslim 4.6%

“From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the
population,” Dr. Hammond notes. “For example, they will push for the introduction of halal
(clean by Islamic standards) food” and increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature
such food on their shelves — along with threats for failure to comply. This is happening in:


France — Muslim 8%

Philippines — 5%

Sweden — Muslim 5%

Switzerland — Muslim 4.3%

The Netherlands — Muslim 5.5%

Trinidad & Tobago — Muslim 5.8%

Soon they begin to apply pressure to allow Sharia law within their own communities (sometimes ghettos).

“When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of
complaint about their conditions,” Dr. Hammond notes. “In Paris, we are already seeing car-burnings.
Any non-Muslim action offends Islam, and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam, with
opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam.” These tensions are seen on a regular basis in:


Guyana — Muslim 10%

India — Muslim 13.4%

Israel — Muslim 16%

Kenya — Muslim 10%

Russia — Muslim 15%

The violence increases when the Muslim population reaches 20%. “After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting,
jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues,” such as in:


Ethiopia — Muslim 32.8%

“At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare,” such as in:

Bosnia — Muslim 40%

Chad — Muslim 53.1%

Lebanon — Muslim 59.7%

From 60%, persecution of non-believing “infidels” rises significantly, including sporadic ethnic
cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia law as a weapon, and Jizya, a tax placed on infidels, such as in:


Albania — Muslim 70%

Malaysia — Muslim 60.4%

Qatar — Muslim 77.5%

Sudan — Muslim 70%

After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these
nations drive out “infidels,” and move toward a 100% Muslim society, which has been experienced to some degree in:


Bangladesh — Muslim 83%

Egypt — Muslim 90%

Gaza — Muslim 98.7%

Indonesia — Muslim 86.1%

Iran — Muslim 98%

Iraq — Muslim 97%

Jordan — Muslim 92%

Morocco — Muslim 98.7%

Pakistan — Muslim 97%

Palestine — Muslim 99%

Syria — Muslim 90%

Tajikistan — Muslim 90%

Turkey — Muslim 99.8%

United Arab Emirates — Muslim 96%

A 100% Muslim society will theoretically usher in their version of peace — the peace of ‘Dar-es-Salaam’ —
the Islamic House of Peace. “Here there’s supposed to be peace, because everybody is a Muslim, the
Madrassas are the only schools, and the Koran is the only word,” such as in:


Afghanistan — Muslim 100%

Saudi Arabia — Muslim 100%

Somalia — Muslim 100%

Yemen — Muslim 100%

Dr. Hammond observes this Islamic ideal is seldom realized. “Unfortunately, peace is never achieved, as in these 100% states the most radical Muslims intimidate and spew hatred, and satisfy their blood lust by killing less radical Muslims, for a variety of reasons.”

“It is important to understand that in some countries, with well under 100% Muslim populations, such as France, the minority Muslim populations live in ghettos, within which they are 100% Muslim, and within which they live by Sharia law,” he states.

Dr. Hammond is also concerned by demographic trends. “Today’s 1.5 billion Muslims make up 22% of the world’s population,” he observes. “But their birth rates dwarf the birth rates of Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, and all other believers. Muslims will exceed 50% of the world’s population by the end of this century.” source

It seems I recall someone said it's a fictional conversation between two guys on a plane.
I think there was something about the profit Muhammad accidentally taking dictation from Satan instead of the Angel whose name I forget
Ayaan Hirsi Alii can't even go back home to Somalia without bodyguards just because she told her story of how she was mistreated in Islamic culture

Striving to institute world-wide sharia law is an Islamic religious duty.

Point number two @ 3:12


Many people don't realize how politically oriented Islam is at its core.
In fact, Islam is less of a religion than it is a religious ideology.


It includes a mandatory and highly specific legal and political plan for
the whole society: Sharia. There is no separation between the religious
and the political in Islam. Rather, Islam and Sharia constitute a
totalitarian means of ordering society at every level, including:


ritual worship, transactions and contracts, morals and manners,
beliefs, and punishments. In the Qur'an, Islam makes it clear that
man made governments such as a democracy, and free speech,
such as criticizing the Qur'an, are abominations, and must be eliminated.


The modern expression, "creeping sharia" is used to describe the slow
deliberate and methodical advance of Islamic law in non Muslim counties.


Official sharia courts already operate in the UK, handling cases ranging
from divorce and financial disputes to domestic violence. Attempts to
introduce sharia in the legal system in Germany, Sweden and other
European countries are ongoing.


While sharia already has a foot in our door in the matter of minor disputes
like inheritance and domestic violence, it should concern you that sharia:


commands that drinkers and gamblers should be whipped; allows husbands
to hit their wives; allows an injured plaintiff to exact legal revenge,
literally an eye for an eye; commands that a thief must have a hand cut off;
commands that homosexuals must be executed; orders unmarried fornicators
to be whipped, and adulterers to be stoned to death; orders death for both Muslim
and non Muslim critics of Muhammad, the Qur'an, and even sharia itself;
orders apostates to be killed; commands offensive, aggressive, and unjust jihad.


As written in the Qur'an, sharia is the law of Allah; any other form
of government is a sin. It is the duty of every Muslim to keep striving
until all governments have been converted to sharia law.

For every opinion or belief someone may hold there will be another party who
just as strongly opposes that idea. Both sides usually claim to sit with the best
arguments, the real facts and the correct world view, and (ironcally) both sides
regard the other as being indoctrinated, blind to the obvious and outright stupid.


Most people only expose themselves to information that matches their own worldview.
It is uncomfortable to do otherwise. Still, we would like to give you some surprising
information about Islam. We also urge you to look further than only mainstream media,
and if you can find the time for it, read the Koran yourself.


To get you started, we'd like to present you three things you probably did not know about Islam.
(Please note that point number two on Sharia Law was given already in he above post.)



1. Islam has not been hijacked. That Islam has been hijacked is what non-Muslims naturally assume,
because they assume all religions are the same. The reason non-Muslims are so easily confused is that
most of us don't realize the difference between the Qur'an and every other religious book we are familiar with.


The Christian Bible is a collection of writings from various authors written sometimes hundreds of years
apart, with parables, advice, and dreams, all collected together into one book. Same with the Jewish Torah.


Even those of us in the west who are neither Christians nor Jews, are still familiar enough with these
religions to know this much, and therefore we assume the same is true for the Qur'an. But the Qur'an
is only one book written by one man in his own lifetime. It is meant to be taken literally, and it is not
full of symbolism or vague analogies. It is mostly direct commands.


Of course, the Qur'an contains contradictory statements just like other religious books, but the Qur'an itself
provides the reader with a way to know what to do with the contradictions. It's explained in the
Qur'an that
if you have two passages that contradict each other, the one written later supersedes the one written earlier.


Most westerners are unaware that the peaceful tolerant passages were written early in Mohammed's career.
According to the Qur'an, those passages have been abrogated by later, more violent, and less tolerant passages.
So when most westerners hear jihadists quoting violent passages from the Qur'an, and then peaceful Muslims
quoting peaceful passages, they interpret that the way they would if someone was quoting the Bible or the
Torah. They think to themselves, oh, there must be many different and contradictory passages, like there are in
other religious books, so Muslims can pick and choose what they like and justify whatever actions they want to take.


But the Qur'an is nothing like that. There is no picking and choosing. It says very explicitly and in no uncertain terms that
a Muslim must not alter or ignore any part of its very clear and direct message, or they will burn in a fiery torment forever.




Point number three, @ 5:53
Muslims are allowed to deceive non-Muslims if it helps Islam. For non-Muslims, this principle, called
taqiyya, is another surprising concept of Islam. While most other religions speak highly of truthfulness,
the Qur'an instructs Muslims to lie to non-Muslims about their beliefs and their political ambitions, to
protect and spread Islam. There are many examples of today's Islamic leader saying one thing in English
for the western press, and then saying something entirely different to their own followers in Arabic a few days later.


Deceiving the enemy is always useful in war, and Islam is at war with the non-Islamic world until the
whole world follows Sharia law. All non-Muslims living in non-Islamic states are therefore enemies, so
deceiving westerners is totally acceptable - even encouraged - if it can forward the goals of the spread of Islam.


As a recent example, the Islamic American relief agency were seemingly raising money for orphans,
but were in fact giving the money to terrorists. They deceived goodhearted western infidels into giving
money to organizations that were actively killing western infidels.


Do the research yourself. This is not an isolated case.

Muslim organizations worldwide often declare that Islam is a religion of peace. But what does that really mean?
It seems easy for a Muslim to quote a peaceful verse from the early parts of the Qur'an while, by following the
principle of taqiyya, neglecting to mention the fact that it has been officially abrogated by later more violent verses.


According to the Qur'an, the world will be at peace only when Islam and Sharia reign in every country -
and never until then. This is why every Muslim can truthfully say that Islam is a religion of peace.


If any of these (three) points took you by surprise, then there is surely much more you still don't know.
This subject will affect you in the near future, so take the chance to inform yourself now - before it does.


The Qur'an on abrogation, Sura 2:106
We do not abrogate a verse or cause it to be forgotten except that We bring forth [one]
better than it or similar to it. Do you not know that Allah is over all things competent?


Sura 16:101
And when We substitute a verse in place of a verse - and Allah is most knowing of what He sends
down - they say, "You, [O Muhammad], are but an inventor [of lies]." But most of them do not know.


Sura 17:86
And if We willed, We could surely do away with that which We revealed to you.
Then you would not find for yourself concerning it an advocate against Us.

Sam Harris is long been outspoken about how Islamic violence is a problem and he catches all matter of grief from the left for that
In this particular podcast, he reads a letter from and isis propaganda magazine called Dabiq.
The cliff note this article talks about some lady from the Netherlands I think it was moved to Iran and married some religious fanatic
She goes on to talk about how blessed she is to live under Sharia and how great it was at her son blew himself up for Islam
There she goes on to talk about how they hate America because of our Christianity and our atheism and they will never stop waging war against us until we submit Allah.. so basically they just admitted that terrorist attacks are indeed religiously motivated as opposed to politically.. most of you would probably disagree with Harris on his atheism but on the Islam thing, he is spot on.
As long as there are countries who are still in the 14th century culturally with 21st century weapons, America will always be at war with Islam

Thanks for the information.
I often see in the news the result of this in France, Germany, and northern Europe, ie Netherlands/ Scandinavia. Violent crimes like rape by male Muslims is increasing there. On the local front, we have a big population of Saudis who moved in. I talked to a few. They tell me how draconian their country is. They like American freedom. However we saw that flushed over the medical tyranny imposed since the CV terrorism.

Apostasy is so bad that some so called "christian" pastors have been teaching Sharia law over Biblical law. The Bible teaches that restitution is the punishment for thieves, not imprisonment or limb removal.

The GTS have been promoting "tolerance" for perversion of Biblical violations. Even European countries censor and arrest those who speak out against this, Australia as well.
I know of a good pastor who was scheduled to speak with an Imam for documentary on Islam. The liberal media petitioned the gt and the pastor was kicked out of the country.

Wow, I've read articles on that. Did they identify with any particular denomination?

The good pastor was kicked out of Australia for wanting to expose the beliefs of the religion.

One bad pastor lived in WV. He wasn't chrislam, but he preferred some of their laws over Biblical. He considered himself conservative fundamental Baptist, but he was anything but. The bozo would be preaching on Revelation, then halfway through the sermon pretend to go into a trance and tell everyone that he was transported into the third heaven. Then he would give his own revelation. These types come up with fake visions, "words of knowledge," against the true Word without any fear of God.

It reminds me of what God said to Job (38) about Elihu,

"Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?"

I am amazed that any woman would submit to Islam, but it's not uncommon. Most Iranians are not hard line Muslims. They are Persians, not Arabs and not naturally God's enemies. There is revival in Iran -

Have you listened to any of Pat Condell's videos? He has quite a few, from years gone by. Example:
