True Islam. Graveyard of morality

I am gonna tell you guys a joke, which would probably explain the mindset of a typical Pakistani. I am even Dr. Zia would probably laugh in agreement.

Englishman : Throws his mug away and walks out

American : Takes the insect out and drinks the beer

Chinese : Eats the insect and throws the beer away

Indian : Sells the beer to the American and insect to the Chinese and gets a new mug of beer.

Pakistani : Accuses the Indian for throwing insect into his beer, relates the issue to Kashmir, asks the Chinese for Military aid, takes a loan from the American to buy one more mug of beer.

Alas, it seems I will have to wait much longer yet.
Sir please don't despair, humanity shall slowly but surely come out of islam.

Sorry to say but Porkistanis deserve it.
They abandoned the rich ancient culture of their ancestors in favour of the barbarity forced on them by Arabs. The same is going to happen in Bangladesh too.

I wonder why the muslims can't see the apparent contradiction in the shahada, La Iala ha Illallah. There is no Go but Allah. This suggests there is a possibility of existence of a God other than Allah!!!

Why cant the west ban Islam in there country, its still in mangeable number, those who still want to cling to it should be send to sharia lands. Government should encourage debates and then make public opnion, let persons like robert spencer, ayan hirsi ali, wafa sultan, nooni etc who have bravely showing there face be invited for debates in prime channel etc and thus ignoring the LEFT when muslims will be deported let others celebrate for freedom. In school there should be a course which shows that Islam is dangerous cult and thus banned in Islam.

Most of the Pakistani dont even know their heritage. Islam has wiped out their ancestry. They dont even klnow Arabs dont even care for them. Iranians know that their heritage was Persian before Arabs conquered them. The educational system teaches Pakistani that Arabic is ther heritage, and not until they leave Pakistan do they get an education, but by then it is too late. After 5 children are half of what they will be in life. President Obama was trained from youth, Marxism, Islam and Socialism and he is implementing those beliefs. He smiles and still tries to dismantle America very smoothlyand replace it with Communism, a idea thateven Russia said dont do!

Pakistanis one would think would eventually realize they have been had, would wake up but no, they are mentally trapped into the web of radical Islam as their
is no other kind of Islam. They lie and plan and plot to destroy. Look at Pakistan, it could be a beautful place for MUSLIMs to live, but not even the bugs want to live their.

Oh by the way, I liked the satirical comment.

I think democracy will not work in Islam places, dictators like Mustafa Kemal and Reza shah are needed.
First they should make compulsory education (secular education) no element of Islam, forceful family planning.
Western nation should help such dicators to come up and side by side allow full access of internet and debate on islam and help some alternate faith members to increase there numbers and punish hard the hardline mullahs etc.
Just if all somali muslims can be converted then that place is so strategic that somalia can be very rich. For Western think tank Step 1 , choose a dictator who is against Islam, Step 2 Get some dedicated 100 so mebers who are non muslims from there then jail all mullahs, and insert some non muslim mullahs in mosques . Step 3, Do huge missionary work and convert people, then when some 60 % population are non muslims then allow other talented persons from europe or asia like India, China to help open industries and make compulsory education, then when approx 80 - 100 % become non muslims then democracy should be returned and somalia will be a developed nation. Islam is the blockage.

Pathfinder,

Democracy will not work soon in most Islamic countries, I agree. But I think that Western Democratic countries and India and also South Korea, Japan and more and more South American countries, like Brazil, are doing ever better. In contrast to most Islamic countries, it is obvious.

The strength of the Democratic countries and the weakness of dictatorial states is that the former attract and the latter make people desperate to leave, due to deep poverty, often heavy oppression. We know many WANT to flee to Western Democracies, but are unable to. We know that so many women want to marry someone in the rich countries, that they'll take about any man with money!

Let us somehow try to use this. When we somehow could offer asylum to people, but at a place of our choosing, like maybe Greenland, Alaska, Canada.
Like some kind of Newly discovered land. For newly formed states. Only democratic ones.

When we make it mandatory upon entrance that immigrants uphold good democratic rules in contracts, on pain of expulsion, then a few advantages can be seen:
- Young women can flee Islamic Countries to "Greenland".
- Young fighters for the Taliban, Al Qaida can also go there + get jobs.
- Ex-Muslims and minorities, high educated persons, all can flee, get better lives, be on democracy's side, next to the inevitable hostile immigrants.
- Even many illegals in Western countries could go there eventually.
- To those new countries also many non-Muslims from other poor, oppressed countries will go.

- People go from a place where they cannot work to a place where they can produce something, if we do it right, by and large of course.
- If in the 21st century, so long term, ever more people flee from dictatorships in Islamic countries to "Greenland", the governments in the home countries will have to change their policies in order to keep the people in, because then the people can vote with their feet ever more.

Of course, this idea has to be worked out, costs fortunes, has high risks, but something desperately extraordinary and audacious could be called for in the present situation. And fighting in Afghanistan or Iraq won't be necessary any more. And supporting dictators? It failed dismally in the past, once they get hated by their people, we, their backers, become hated also.

Expanding democratic rules over ever more people in this way, in the long term, could be something to be enthousiastic about. And our attractiveness to inhabitants of Islamic countries, our soft power, IS our biggest trumpcard, I feel.

Excellent article.

Enlightening article.

this show the mindset of those who want to impose true islam. leaving the sophistry and hypocrisy of 'moderate muslims' aside, islam is not a religion of peace and civilization. it is not an antidote or cure of human spiritual ailments, but the very evil in saintly disguised.

the imposition of true islam will wipe our rich and diverse cultural world and replace it with the 7th century bedouin arabian culture. it's a sad case. banning music, equal right and technology will surely halt human progress.

wake up JAH, islam must go for good.

Humanity is but one family. :)

#1 - JAH, I think you need to get over the fact that we are realizing what Islam is all about. The 'genie is out of the bottle'.

Muslims have enjoyed almost 1400 years of total silence of anyone discussing Islam - and now you can't handle it. That is what happens when you don't develop your thinking powers, and just use brute force, to shut people up.

(haha)

Islamic democracy:
Sunnis believe in the Caliphate. One man, one vote - he's the man and he's got the vote.
Shia believe in Theocracy - Everybody votes for God and does what he says (as interpreted by some sort of council of Imams).

Now, if only the West could 'aspire' to such 'heights' of 'democracy' ...

RELIGIONS, ESPECIALLY ISLAM, ARE NEITHER EFFECTIVE NOR EFFICIENT IN ESTABLISHING A MORAL LIFE IN INDONESIA

The fact is that the majority of Indonesian is Moslem and there is no other choice for the remaining, but embracing certain religions made available by the existing formal ideology of the nation other than Islam or just believing in the One. However, does it all give Indonesian warranty that a moral life is well instituted in the nation? Let’s take a closer look at the factual reality of the nation. Indonesia is number 1 in corruption among Asian countries and number 5 among nations allover the world. And, the ironic fact is that the Department of Religion of the republic ranks first in corruption. Is there any sufficient explanation for the irony? The author intends here to suggest a little bit scientific explanation of the irony. It is such an explanation that is supposed to be able to debunk the lie committed by those who have the authority of state in their hands using religious signs and symbols and in the case even Islam may serve as an effective and efficient deceiving instrument.

The majority of Indonesian is in serious poverty. They are farmers and fishers in addition to a big number of urban marginalized populations. They really lead a miserable life in the whole history of the nation. They are very familiar with malnutrition, diseases, and all kinds of worldly sufferings. How they survive such a miserable life? Nothing significantly contributes to their survival, but the religions and the belief in the One that are so intensely instituted and indoctrinated to them by the ruling circle in the name of state under a subtle cover. The ruling circle established a sophisticated infrastructure for their subtle instituting and indoctrinating activities, especially those organized by the Department of Religion. One can easily find so many houses of worship (mosques, churches, and others) everywhere in the country. The number of the houses is much more than that of clinics or public health facilities. Such houses serve multifunction and are much cheaper to operate than the clinics and the public health facilities and the members of the respective congregation operate even almost all of the houses on self-supporting basis. The most important function of the houses is to be the instituting and indoctrinating means just as many local government clinics serves the under cover function of deceiving means of young couples who plan to marry that they must be injected certain anti-baby formula for the success of the government program of birth control, which is Family Planning (Keluarga Berencana). It is obligatory for those who plan to marry to obtain a validation paper from the local government clinics that they have been injected a deceiving anti tetanus formula, which is actually anti-baby formula. It means that there is no need for the state to make more expenditure for the operation of the houses of worship, but to increase the number of them. The most recent example of the factual event appertaining to the deceiving act of the state can clearly be observed in the focus of the relieving activities after the Tsunami natural disaster in Aceh and a part of Nort Sumatera. It focuses on the rehabilitation of the biggest house of prayer, the mosque in Banda Aceh, while the coordination and the distribution of the domestic and international helps are messy.

To talk about religion, especially Islam, is to talk about Moslem because there will never be actual Islam without any Moslem, but potential Islam regardless of the magnificent of the values contained in Islamic teachings –at least as Moslem preachers and Islam defenders speak. In other words, Moslem is the blood and the flesh of Islam that can be touched and sensed. Islam and Moslem are actually inseparable. What meaning does the potential Islam have? Nothing. Islam that becomes actuality through Moslem simultaneously represents an ideology because it moves the Moslem to materialize their Islamic ideals. Just as other ideologies, e.g. capitalism, Islam spreads out all over the world. Islam especially becomes the common ideology of the parts of the globe that are in serious poverty. It is because Islam has the very efficacy to alleviate all kinds of worldly suffering by deceiving Moslem with the illusive hope of a just, happy and peaceful life in the world here after. There are many variants of Islam and each of them differs across the countries where it grows. Islam that grows in Malaysia gives birth to the variant Malay Islam. It is also the case of Islam in Indonesia. It lays out the variant of Indonesian Islam as represented by Indonesian Moslem. Indonesian Islam is the worst variant because it serves as an effective and efficient deceiving instrument for the shake of exploitation and suppression by the ruling circle. In one hand, it makes the majority of Indonesian the strongest and super human being to survive all kinds of worldly sufferings as a result of exploitation and suppression by the minority of the ruling circle. It is the fact that capitalism becomes increasingly global and blurs national boundaries across the world. Also, it penetrates Indonesian economy with its irresistible permeability. The marriage of Indonesian Islam and Indonesian capitalism gives birth to the worst variant of capitalism. It is a collusive capitalism and the very ethics of the kind of capitalism is Javanese one in order NOT TO SAY it is the ISLAMIC ONE for the shake of avoiding the brutality of Moslem because of their madness against any criticism. The collusive capitalism has its spirit deep in the Islamic teachings of the minority of the ruling circle and its cronies that play an important role in the Indonesian exploitative economy. For example, the most prestigious act of devotion in Islam is the hajj, which is the pilgrimage to Mecca and the obligatory ceremonies. The hajj is merely economic category of Indonesia Moslem rather than religious or theological category because those who can afford such a pilgrimage can show their economic position among people surrounds them. Even, the exhibitionistic economic effect of the hajj is necessary for the success of Indonesian Moslem’s business. It is the reason for the formal organizer of the pilgrimage, which is under the Department of Religion to sell the pilgrimage as really luxurious products. One can easily compare the cost of the pilgrimage in Indonesia to that in Malay or other neighboring countries and realizes that the cost is much more expensive. The overly high cost of the pilgrimage provides both parties with the benefit just as they expect it. It is for the organizer of the pilgrimage a very profitable business that can be managed on regular basis, i.e., yearly, while it provide those Moslem with socio-psychological benefits that can in turn provide them with the respective success in their business. It is the case of the very small business of sidewalk food merchants that are successful thanks to the street banners they affix on their sidewalk food stall that goes like this: “Warung Sop Haji Agus”. It is also the case of the owner of big enterprise who put the title-like letters H. or Hj. and adds the Islamic name Muhammad in front of his original name such as H. Drs. Huhammad Cahyono, the General Director of Kecap Cabai Company. Even, some big Chinese bosses who are not Moslem consider it as necessary to use typical Islamic names for the success of their business such as Muhammad Bob Hasan and Muhammad Sudono Salim. In short, to be successful to operate business in the business environment of collusive capitalism, which is typical Indonesian, it is a must for one to have a good adaptability to the collusive business environment. And Islam is the best instrument to have such a good adaptability.

Islam as Camouflage
The kind of Islam may also be found in other part of the world. However, the worst case takes place in Indonesia. Let’s take a closer look at the following example. Almost all of those in governmental position (executive, legislative and judiciary bodies) have the little title-like letters H. or Hj. in front of their name, for example H. Ir. Mahmud Akbar or Hj. Latifah Bahrum, S.H. The H. and Hj. provide one with a more established acceptance socio-psychologically by Indonesian Moslem when he or she is in a governmental position. And, it is a must that the number one person in the Republic, the President, is a Moslem. Otherwise, the republic will collapse because of the denial of it majority Moslem people. It is the fact that those in governmental position are wealthy and do not have any successful business because they are surrounded by business players. Those who have the title-like letters in front of their name camouflage their corrupt behavior with a really big contribution for some social or religious activities (mosque buildings or congregation maintaining). Let’s take a good example of the days close to the election in Indonesian democracy. Islamic congregations are overly activated in what so-called Pengajian Akbar, a great congregation for the recitation of Koran. Who are able to mobilize such a big number of people in an activity rich of Islamic symbols? They are Islamic political parties. It is nothing important in such a massive mobilization of the people, but money. Money plays a much more important role than the collective ideals they have been boasting, which is an Islamic moral life. In such a case there are religious leaders who sell the vote of local-based religious congregation members for the purpose of personal benefit, at least in the hope that they can meet the target of gaining certain number of chairs in both local and national assembly. The increasing number of the members of the assembly, especially the members of local assembly who collectively become the suspects in the case of corruption and manipulation in cooperation with the local corrupt executive officers is the fact that those who are actively involved in the certain political parties not only considered the position they gain in the local and national assembly as political target but also as personal target to gain personal wealthy regardless the moral way to be wealthy, especially by corruption and manipulation.

Natural Disasters and Moral Disasters
It is now approximately a year after the Tsunami natural disaster in Aceh that we can clearly observe with our bare eyes how messy is the relief programs in the regions. It is really the messy we easily recognize in the both international and national relief organizations. The factual reality of present Aceh, a year after the disaster, becomes the most convincing evidence that no one really care about the sufferings and the misserible life of the victims of it. Most of those who were boasting too much about their humanitarian act for the victims can prove nothing, but lies. All what they have done is exploiting the sufferings of the victims for their personal and collective interests, especially fund raising.

gOd Curse hIM!
gOd is nothing, but a concept that is deliberately developed by human being into a constant myth in order its merits then to be utilized in making a better life. Any way, is that true that the gOd is so effective and so efficient and must be maintained up to now?

gOd?!
No, iT is not effective. iT is not efficient. iT is neither effective nor efficient in making a better life. A life without any violence in all its manifestations. The violence of men-over-men exploitation. The violence of men-over-men suppression.

gOd?!
Yes, iT is indeed so. iT is indeed so effective and so efficient. iT’s efficacy has long been evidenced that iT must always be maintained, because so many people need iT to overcome their pain and anguish. The kind of the pain and anguish because they are powerless and exploited and suppressed.

To severe is their dependence on the gOd that they can not survive without iT, but crazy.

Thus,
It is not difficult to understand that the minority of those who are powerful and have the authority in their hands over the majority of those who are powerless, deliberately establishes a department to develop the concept and all teachings derived from iT into an anesthetic-like formula and to make use of the formula to compensate the pain and the anguish of the majority, the powerless exploited, the powerless suppressed in the shake of perpetuating their power, so that the minority can enjoy all amenities as a result of the exploitation and suppression without the majority, the powerless exploited, the powerless suppressed—thanks to the cursed gOd—experience any significant pain and anguish of the kind. The minority can, therefore, enjoy the amenities again and again. It has long been their favorite amenities.

gOd?!
iT is eventually nothing, but the measure of the pain and the anguish of the majority,
the powerless exploited, the powerless suppressed.

gOd?!
iT nothing, but the measure of their hopeless.

gOd?!
In the name of the majority, curse iT!
Do experience the pain and the anguish just as they are in order we then make a better life far from them without any involvement of the cursed gOd!

Throw away the cursed gOd as far as possible once we have killed iT in our life!
Or, bury the cursed gOd as deep as possible once we have killed iT in our life!

Curse gOd!

Amen.

just toa add to the last 'comment', the H or Hj in front of a name of a msulim in Indonesia, has to be for Haj or Haji, a title of respect for one who has made the haj or pilgramage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, and kissed the Black Stone.
