Hey Muslims, your religion sucks!
It’s official, and you read about it here first. Well, we read about it on (Allegedly) Human Events Online:
“Islam is not just a different religion,” argues Professor Schmidt, “but interwoven with it is also a very different culture.” In comparison to the Christian West, he shows, Islamic nations throughout history have been culturally sterile, technologically backward, materially impoverished, prone to barbarism and cruelty, and almost perpetually at war not only with their non-Muslim neighbors but with each other.
Speak the truth to us Professor!
Disturbing but well-documented facts about Muhammad that Muslims themselves are not permitted to hear, read, or talk about in Islamic countries, where he is above all criticism.
Compare that to the Bush White House which starts every day with a “let’s bitch about all that fucked up shit Jesus did” session to honor their the President’s favorite philosopher.
The Crusades: why, contrary to myth, they were launched as defensive (and just) wars against centuries of Muslim aggression.
They turned out so well, no further wars against Muslims have been “needed” since.
How the West gave birth to science largely because of Christian thinkers who saw God as a rational being whose Creation followed His own fixed laws. How Muslim theology, in contrast, is hostile to the concept of scientific laws.
It’s a good thing we’ve managed to evolve in the area of religious based hostility related program activities to scientific laws.
The origins of the Western distinction between church and state in the teachings of Christ Himself.
Yeah, good thing we have that whole distinction thing down.

…the West gave birth to science…
Yes, and we gave algebra an Arabic name just to rub it in the faces of all those non-rational, non-scientific Muslims.

Good-effin-lord. This is ri-goddam-diculous. If it’s wasn’t for the Muslims - principally in Spain, who invaded but assimilated the Christians and Jews there rather than kill them all off - most of the ideas and thinking that we still employ from the ancient Greeks and Romans would have faded into nothing. The Caliphate in Seville, Spain, around the 10th century (I believe) had the largest library in the world, including books based on “Christian west[ern]” thought, Christian texts, scientific books and much more - all translated by the Muslims there into at least 3 languages.
Spain had one of it’s most prosperous periods while the seat of the Caliphate was there. Jews, Christians, and Muslims lived in relative peace within the major cities (until the reconquistadores swept through from the north, killing every Muslim possible and eventually expelling all of them and all of the Jews from Iberia.)
And it’s much more than Algebra that they gave us, considering that our actual written numbers are originally arabic.

Yes the good professor kind of forgets when Europe went backwards after the Roman Empire except for Spain; ruled by the Moors, Spain was the light on the hill.
Forget math, science, linguistics and agriculture the Muslims were no goodniks. Spain felt the same way. They celebrated the Moors getting kicked out by sliding into mediocrity and backwardness. .

Don’t forget that Muslims had practical medicine that actually helped cure people, as opposed to the European standard of, “Drain ‘em of blood, stat!”
But you really can’t argue with people this stupid. They think algebra was invented by their ninth-grade teacher to torture them.

You folks can’t fool Professor Schmidt with your wild talk about arabic numerals being invented by Arabs. He’s seen them right there on the bottom of the page in his Bible, proving that they came directly from God to the biblical prophets.

One of the positive things that came out of the Islamic civilization was the flowering of the Jewish renaissance personified in people such as Maimonedes, who is still, I believe, considered the most important interpreter of Jewish law in history. He was appointed prince of the Cairo jewish community by Saladin.

I found Prof Schmidt’s actual opus. It’s published by Regina Orthodox Press, funnily enough, an outfit run by Frank Schaeffer, the convert son of Calvinist fundamentalist Francis. Last year it brought out “The Sword of the Prophet”, a pro-Serbia and pro-Putin screed about Muslims taking over the world. Here’s the link to the Schmidt book (which has a foreword by Marvin Olasky):

The “facts” about Islam mentioned in the good professor’s treatise look very familiar.
I often have lively debates with a very right-wing friend. When the issue of Islam comes up - as it often does these days - these are the very “facts” he trots out to show the superiority of the west. I’ve studied just enough history to know how ludicrous are the claims, but he obviously hasn’t.
This treatise must be circulating widely in right-wingnut circles, designed to affect the views of willing wingnuts everywhere. I’ll be honest: that scares me. My friend is basically a decent person, and he’s not stupid, and yet he soaks this crap up like a sponge.
What scares me most is that Islam, and Muslims, are being portrayed in the way Jews were portrayed in Germany in the thirties. And we all know what that was leading to…
Ps. don’t forget about art and design as contributions of the Arab empire.

Most statements, reports, etc., by right wingnuts these days have only a passing resemblance to reality. But by broadcasting them far and wide, and repeatedly, they become part of the subconscious of that large subset of society that has no other knowledge of the world.

Alvin J. Schmidt?also known by the aliases Allin Jerry Cornelius and Allin Jerry Schmidt?was issued a concealed weapons license in August 1994. Yet in March 1975 Schmidt had been found guilty of two felonies: breaking and entering with intent to commit larceny, and larceny. He was sentenced to 60 days in jail as well as an additional three years in the division of correction. According to hearing documents, Schmidt was also charged with reckless driving in October 1970. He had adjudication withheld on a charge of shoplifting in May 1972 and was sentenced to two and a half years probation. In December 1973 Schmidt was charged with unlawful punishment of a child and two counts of lewd and lascivious assault on a female child. Adjudication was withheld on the lesser offense of causing a minor under 18 to become a delinquent child. He was found guilty of unlawfully punishing a child and was sentenced to three years probation. In a handwritten note dated February 21, 1995, Schmidt accused a detective in the local sheriff’s department of having “made up this story” because the detective was plotting to take possession of Schmidt’s .40 Glock pistol because it is “a favored firearm of the FBI.” Schmidt went on to say that “[h]e also has gone so far as to tell my mother that I was a child molester….He had ask [sic] her for a receipt for the gun and a [concealed weapons] license…he refused to return them.” Schmidt also claimed to have served in the US Marine Corps from 1968 to 1972 and to have received special training in Jungle Operations Training and flamethrower training. Additionally, he occasionally follows his name with Ph.D. or Dr. S.E., even though according to his military record the highest degree he has is a G.E.D. Schmidt’s license was revoked in October 1995?one year and two months after he first received it.

I think that it is important that when we look at the impact of Islam on the West that we also look at the impact of Islam on the areas that they conquered. If it were possible to build a time machine and go back to the time just prior to the introduction of Islam, what you will find that the center of world civilization was in the Middle-East which had, at the time, the most advanced and enlightened civilizations while Europe wasjust becoming civilized. My question is how far advanced would these civilizations be today had they not been eradicated by Islam? The reason why Greek culture, for instance, was lost to the West in the Middle ages was because it was cut off by Islamic conquest. Another example is the great Zoroastrian religon and culture that existed in Persia that served, in many ways as a precursor for future ideas that found there way into Christianity. Today, you will find that religon only survives in India. Constantinople was the greatest city in the world, and remained so for almost 1000 years. Today, under Islam, Istanbul cannot be described as one of the great centers of power in the world. The richest and most culturally diverse area of the world ,it could be argued. was the Hindu crescent which stretched from the borders of Afghanistan well into Sutheast Asia. In that area, Hindus, Buddhists, Assyrian Christian missionaries and many other diverse religous ideas lived mostly in harmony. The Islamic conquest of large swaths of that area from the 9th century to the present can be rightly described as one of the darkest periods in human history and one of the reasons why there is currently such poverty as the Islamic conquerors looted the great riches of India for centuries. When you look at all of the things that Muslim civilization supposedly gave to the world such as algebra for instance, if you look hard enough. you will find that, in all probability, it was taken from a culture that was later eradicated by Islam.

the concept of numbers and the zero was invented by the Indians.
Also the muslim burned another precious library in their conquest India. Not to mention the thousands of people that were executed, an act of barbarism that makes the holocaust a walk in the park.
Also just a reminder for the (stupid and brain washed) muslims. The muslim themselves used the burning of the Alexandria library as reference action to justify the burning of a book of a muslim scholar. The name of that scholar eludes me now. But I will write back when I remember or I?ll try to look it up.

Infact the number system was not stolen by arabs, rather he was showing different forms of number systems. And Al-jabr(Algebra) is not a hindu invention at all!! it was soley invented by Arabs. The fact that Mohammed ibn-Musa al-Khowarizmi wrote a book on the hindu number system does NOT prove anything but just showing how they shared the numeric system. al-Khowarizmi also invented the algorithm something never invented before his time.

You stupid AMerican trash you don’t know anything about anthing so u shouldn’t e talking shit about ALgebra. You say Muslims don’t know how to count to ten you probably don’t even know what a number is or as a matter of fact it probably took you at least 10 years to learn to write your own name. Algebra was invented by Arabs hence Arabic numerals, it was similar to the numering system in India but it was written long before that. Most of the people who oppose the Muslim religion in this forum probably get and got the worst grades in any math syatem, the teacher probably asked them what was 1+1 and they got 11. So before you go off talking about how Muslims are stupid and Hinus invented Algebra gets you facts straight before you end up getting your assed beaten doen for even thinking something that stupid.

It’s Sickening that people never learn to stop being racist, and never learn from their history. Although most people who hate muslims and arabs today refuse to admit they’re racist or prejudiced in anyway, kind of like the Nazi’s wouldn’t admit it , kind of like the KKK won’t admit it “We hate all blacks but we’re not racist”
“we hate all Arabs/muslims but we’re not racist”
At least admit to what you are !!
Islam is a very large religion that has no spokes person but Osama stepped up and claimed he was the leader and the idiot muslims who believed him are no worse than the idiot Americans who also believe he is the spokesperson.

for raj u stupid muslim. get ur facts straight. i studied ur qu’raan. MOHAMOD was never kind. he was peacefull when he was not in outhority but when he conqureed el madina he made everybody convert to islams or die. check it in ur qu’raan in surah 2:191 slay them whenever ye catch them.” how peacefull is that.
you never translate the word allah to god because u believe that ‘allah’only speaks arabic, how could u have made algebra then ha. ur quraan is wrong it says in bukhari vol. VI #509 that mohamad would let his followeres memorize his so called visions and when they died so did his vision or in bukhari vol. IV # 62 and 510 that they were written on leaves. some were lost and they didn’nt know what order the events happened. mohmed didn’t forgive in mecca, he was too unnoticed by anyone and was persecuted. u muslims when ur powerless u seem peacefull and when u gain power you destroy all. in mecca mohamad was week and was peacefull, but when he became powerfull in madina he was the dictator and killed all christians. ur quraan has spelling mistakes. mohamed married a 7 year old girl 3esha. it’s hard to believe that such a stupid religon could make a coplex thing like algebra.

and well, u execlude christians too. in saudi arabia churches are not allowed to be built. in egypt there are lots of monastaries like saint cathrine monastary in seena … lots of people come to visit them… yet in school textbooks u never mention them under tourism or what makes egypt attractive. u even descriminate us publically … at each our of ur prayer in the mosque u say we hate non believers and nonbelievers to u are christian. u even make us learn and memorize verses of ur qu’raan …don’t deny it,i’ve lived in egypt and i noe what i’m talknig about. in canada u have public schools.. as christains we don’t force u to laern and memorise verses from the bible? so tell me is that fair?
u probablylike islam cause ur a guy. islam is sexest, and only favours men and i can prove it from verses in ur own qo’raan… just scroll up and look at the ones i wrote under proud to bu christian arab.
as an arab i think we should be recognized for what we did to the world… but as a christian i think it serves u right to be descriminated and hated by everyone.

Christian invaders killed natives all over the world a few hundred years ago. Today we have so many cases of Christian extremists harming non-Christians. Islamic extremists are killing non-Muslims all over the world today. So, what’s the difference?
All man-made religions are the root cause. And as long as people have segregational beliefs, religious hatred will continue to plague the world.

Egptions did. egypt had the intelligence to make pyramids that were built since the creation of the world at a time were all other nations were discovering fire. if they could do that they could easily make algebra after all they were the first to communicate in writing as well.

i don’t know…hindus wat next - a monkey with ghandis head…

Hey guys. Look I’m a muslim, and believe it or not, I respect what you say. I defentiatly don’t agree with any of it, that muslims are barbarians. But still, america is the land of freedom of speech, so Lets let it be. You say what you say, fine, but others should not ever say that you are wrong with what you say, even if it is. Its your own personal views and people should respect it.
Now, if I may just say a few words, just to get a few points across, and facts as well. 1. Allah is not the name of the muslim god. Its the arabic word meaning “god.” Trust me, I’m a muslim, I know what I’m saying about my own religion.
2. Islam promotes peace and religious toleration. In the Quraan it states that you should always respect everyones religion, no matter what. Never talk ill of any religion thats not your own. Moslty, muslims strongly believe that you should never degrade or abuse anyones place of worship, no matter what the religion is.
I can understand your views. All of your views. But, respectfully, it only comes from a lack of knowledge about religion. Don’t believe just what someone tells you, find out for your self. Thats the only way to understand something and the only way to find out the truth than a lie from your friends.
Sadly, its true. There are fanatics in Islam. Islam is very prone to fanitics, people who just take it too far and start killing innocent people or blowing them up. Thats never right. Killing is never right. There are other ways to slove a problem. But don’t believe for a second that just because one muslim does something wrong, or a group for that matter, that you have a right to condem the whole religion. People kill every day. And you have to addmit, christians kill too. You hear about it everyday on the news. Anyone who kills, if it’s a christin, muslim, jew or a hindew, that person is truly wrong in what they did. God “Allah” said to fight only to protect you religion, not to oppress others. What Osma Bin Laden did was wrong. Killing innocent lives for revenge and so called justice. There are other way for gaining jsutice.
Now, I know what amny of you peolpe will say. That I’m wrong. Muslims will always be barbarians in your eyes unless you can just open you mind for a second and see the real truth behind what everyone else tells you. Their theories, their lies, are what you gullbley beleive. Find the truth out for your self. Stop condeming a whole religion because of what a certian group did. We don’t condem your whole religion because those little christian teenagers who beat to death poor homeless people. What about the hate crime most christians started. Like the KKK, and it was against your own christians. Mostly blacks. See, we don’t judge everyone because of what a few people did. I have many Christian friends in school, and I respect them all. Thank god things change over time, right?
Someone please respond to this. I look foward to your comments.

hey i’m a christian egyption and i lived 11 years there. i know that modern muslims now know that killing innocent pppl is wrong and i have many muslim friends. howver with all respect, islam is about killing innocent pple– its moder minds of the new generation of muslims that stop them– now that isn’ta lie. i have read the quraan and i know. u beleive that the old verses are overruled by the new verses. when mohamed in mecca was claiming to hve heard god’s prophecy, pppl didn’t believe him — just a few– therfore, he was a minority and weak (surah 73:10). he was forced to keep peace with other in order to attract followers and lay low so that no one turns against him more than they already are. however when mohamed toke el madina, he was the dictator and all mighty(surah 2 :191). he told his followers to kill all non believers or make them pay money (surah 8 verse 60 and surah 12 and 17 and surah 9 verse 123)osamah benladen is not crazy he is just doing what the qurran said– its just that the rest of the muslim person that does not follow the qurran. i agree with u that christians kill too, but its not like we told them go kill unbelievers jesus said love everybody even ur enemy just because the pple disobey the bible that is their fault not the religion– but for u its not wrong to kill, u r encouraged to do so. so don’t say that islam is peacefull becaus IT IS NOT. I’M NOT TERING TO B MEAN BUT THIS IS REALITY ITS NOT A RUMER I EVEN GAVE U QURRAN SITINGS TO PROVE WHAT I SAID… i hope u respond again

Your view is well respected. However, you failed to see the message behind the words. “Fight in the cause of God those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for god loveth not transgressors.” “And slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse then slaughter; but fight them not at the sacred Mosque, unless they (first) fight you there; but if the fight you, slay them. Such is the reward of those who suppress faith.”
‘War is only permissible in self defence, and under well defined limits. When undertaken, it must be pushed with vigour, but not relentlessly, but only to restore peace and freedom for the worship of God. IN any case strict limits must not be transgressed: women, children, old and infirm men should not be molested, nor trees and crops cut down, nor peace withheld when the enemy comes to terms.’
I just wrote to you the scholar’s notes at the bottom of the page you told me that said we encouraged killing. This is the passage in which you failed to probably read, as the scholars who translate the quraan explain what each passage means. The passage in the quraan in which you read, and so hurridely came to the clusion that we encourage killing, just know that it would only come about in self defence. After all, the american constition and laws does give you the right to defend your self in self defence, right? You would defend yourself too, if you were in a terriable fight, woulden’t you? Or would you just sit there and let them beat on you like your worthless. Like your nothing. Islam believes in fightingg, yes, but only in the right terms, and only in slef defence. Innocent people should not get hurt. Ever. And I’m sorry to say, that those muslims who attacked america, were defiantly wrong in what they did. Who knows, maybe it was self defence after all, but I woulden’t know, I don’t even know the reasons for their attacks. All I know is that innocent lives were taken away. People died who didn’t deserve to, and that my friend is wrong. Any muslim who fights in self defence, no matter what their reasons are, are evil if and only if they kill and take away the innocent lives of people, children and familes. I am a muslim, and I say without hesitation that those ‘terriost muslims’ were wrong in what they did. God will punish them justly.
Its sad to say that a few wrong actions can ruin the name and respect of a good religion.
So bother, you respectfully preach that islam is not peacefull. Well I respectfully say that when you came into the Crusades and fought muslims, jews, moors; what were your reasons? When you proudly stated that if you killed a moor or muslim in a crusade, you will go straight to hevan, and cristians believed those indulgences. And when they entered the crusades, they killed without hesitation muslims, raped women, and killed innocent lives. Who knows, maybe muslims started it. But don’t call muslims killers, and say that islam is not peacefull and that we encourage killing, because, if you look back on it, didn’t you too? So who is really the so called “peacefull” one here. Respectfully, look at your own religion before you judge others.
You wanted a response, here it is.Don’t get angre, I was just defending my religion, as all must do.

Religion is a congame. Humans are frightened, superstitious SUCKERS because of religious brainwashing they incurr in their youth, and they are made to feel insecure about their eventual “disposition” upon their death, so as to MANIPULATE THEIR BEHAVIORS to THEIR fetid little hypocritical standards! With all of the various religions in existence today, EACH ONE PROCLAMING TO HAVE THE EXCLUSIVE ANSWERS TO OUR EXISTENCE, the MATHEMATICAL odds of all of the various theologies being inherently WRONG, is INFINITELY HIGHER than any SINGLE theology being “CORRECT” while all the rest are “WRONG”. The intolerance this produces makes for lively exchanges of warfare because they will gladlyy kill anyone that disagrees with their narrow minded perceptions. If they wish to persist in such ignorant and violent activities, THEY WILL ALL DIE!!! Our military will see to it as we have been anticipating this “Arab Problem” for quite some time now. Look for 2 BILLION of them to DIE within the next 100 years! You can take that info to the bank.

without religion life is tasteless and harder– you have no meaning in life. i know someone who was Atheist and converted to christianity. he said its hard to be athiest — you don’t know how to act where to go or what to believe: ther are no rules and you feel lost, and lonely. he said in christainity it’s not as hard at least u have rules you can follow and you know what to do.
don’t u ever wonder how humans came to earth? u could rely on the big bang theory. where did the BANG come from, some say from two oxyegen atoms, where did those atoms come from? therfore the big bang theory doesn’t explain from where everything comes. IT IS JUST A THEORY. the chances of it being wrong are more than those of it being right. Now u could say that some power created the oxygen atom that made the big bang. well, if u can belief that such a force was strong enough to create the bang that caused the evolution. since that force is strong why not believe that it just createde the world itself instead of going the complesx way and waiting for things to evolve?
what is wrong in beilivimg that you have something to look forward to when you die, instead of just saying you’ll be decompsed to dust. why not believe ur soul could go someplace where it deserves at least is better than dirt.
if u have no beliefs how do u know right from wrong how do u know that it is wrong to kill or steel? the gvernment didn’t just come up with that on their own they got it from christianity! if someone killed a member of ur familly that you loved dearly which is a betterv respose kill that person or call the police? how do u know which is right — could you not justify that he deserved to die and therfore he should die?
could u answer those questions Lawrence Braida, and teell me how u justify it?
you might think because religion has rules it is limitting you. those rules just guide you to a better living. imagine if there were no rules and it is ok to kill is that what you would want? even with small things like lieing you could hurt others by it– it cou;d be ok if ur the one lying, but have u ever thought if you were the person being lied to? adultry or sex is also an issue if you were married and your partner cheated on you wouldn’y you be enraged? maybe so enraged that you can harm ur partner the person cheating with him or her? that is why there is a rule on adultry. and so many things could you now see that they were made to help the people.
lets talk abou jesus or God. when god saw his peapole hurting each other he told prfets to guide them. when it wasn’t enough he sent a part of himself– jusus– to come save them and die instead of them BECAUSE HE LOVED THEM all the people who were hurting others didn’t want him. what do people do now to thank him –nothing, except make fun of him on Tv, in cartoons, swear using his name, and say he was just a story invented for fun. you know like someone really smart wrote something and ppl believed now. what has jesus or god done to you except die for u?
all peopl did just worship satues they made like budah or mohammed wanted to mary so much women he made a new religion that stated you could have up to four wives at a time and who ever got in his way they should die. then by sword he made believers and toke their wives and daughters — like kadija who was only 7 when he humped her– could u believe he married 40 women in total. the only reason pple die for islAm– meaning submission– is because they are rewarded with 70 women in heaven and all the females that are muslims are simply there because their huspands make them.
SO IF YOU WANT TO BLAME SOMEBODY BLAME MOHAMMED BECAUSE HE STARTED IT ALL. OR U CAN BLAME YOURSELF IN NOT HELPING OTHERS KNOW THE GOOD WAY.so don’t go talking about religion as if it was its fault that some human are animals and never care about the others.

Well Hindu people did invent the number system, but Islam invented algebra. People say Greeks made algebra first, but Muslims furthered it and discovered things like quadratics and the binomial theorem which is still in use today. Whatever religion I believe and you guys believe, shouldn’t be posted. Talking about religions leads to argument then hate and racism. Believe what you believe, if you know your religion, then you wouldn’t have to argue about it right? sO don’t.

People say Muslims encourage people to kill, but I go to Stuyvesant High School one of the smartest high schools in America. My AP History teacher said how the first Crusade was motivated was that since the Bible wrote Thou shall not kill, the current Pope said that people misquoted Jesus and its actually Thou shall not kill Christians. If they are saying Muslims are killing non-believers, they should look at themselves too because Christians are hypocrits of the Muslim religion

The ten commanmends, which includes thou “shalt not kill” were given to moses on mt sinai in the old testament. u c in the old testament neither christ nor christians existed, just jews and gentiles. so how can jeusus say ‘thou shal not kil’ when he wasn’t even there! How could it be ‘thou shalt not kill christians’ when only jews wefre there. since there was no CHRIST there was no CHRISTians. dude u need to get ur facts straight and ur history teacher probably failed history a couple of times.
so how can we be hipocrits? besides if u want to get quotes from the bible. jesus said love ur enemies. could ur enemies perhaps be non believers, therefore he is obliging us to love non believers. now we aare human, some of us disobey the law and kill. don’t go blaming the whole religion for it [don't hate the game, hate the player!]
om the other hand we have muslims, whose religion tells them to kill non believersand if they do so they are rewarded with 70 women in heaven. so when they kill it is not wrong to say that islam is about kiling -because their law tells them so- all those suicdie bobmers are just following an unjust law! did u know that in qu’raan the word kill is found more than forgive or pray?
jak could u please respond. if u don’t believe me i could give u proog from the qu’raan if u want.

What kind of knowledge did muslims translate from the Greek? Did they translate that women are not human and should not be treated just as equally as men are treated? we are treated as if we are your filthy property; that we r just their to satisfy ur sick desires — sex objects.(surah 3:14)&(surah 5 & 6)
Even if muslims are as modern as you say they are, why r the muslims countries the most undevolped countries around the globe?
I believe what I know is true not the media, even the quraan proves what i say. I’ve read the books i’ve lived in an Arabic country (misr)with muslim people and I know the facts. It’s time u stop ur bulshit and get ur facts straight.
ps. I’m not disrespecting islam. I’m restating what you believe! So don’t get mad at me if you get ashamed of your religion! oh and go fix the spelling mistakes found in the quraan and come talk to me about being ahead of europe [at least they double check their books!]

That just goes to prove how shallow your religion is if the best defence you can come up with to a different opinion is to scream rascist. Who really cares who invented algebra and the concept of zero? And the 13 year old who posted here who thinks everything was invented by Muslims? Doesn’t sound to me that he has received an education, more like indoctrination. All religions are a crutch for a weak mind, but it seems that Muslims have the biggest mouths.

(and im not muslim) And not only that i wiped my ass with its pages that i ripped out. And i set it on the toilet seat. Whopps. thats against ur religion, i forgot, must of slipped my mind. A religion where the women has no say in anything, she cannot be seen in public and must be with her husband, cannot talk to any other man. WTF. Thats friggen caging them in, no rights at all. Women cannot divorce, and the man can have up to 4 wives. Women should be treated like god, not like slaves. And there are stupid other rules like u cannot look at porn or drink or eat pig, wtf is gonna happen, gonna get struck down by lightning or someshit? hahah stupid stupid stupid. Evolution is the truth, because it is actually based on FACT, and THEORIES THAT MAKE SENSE, not some drunks named Mohammed or Jesus who didnt know what the f*** they were talking about! Im out.
MARIAM RELIGION>> EVLUTION said,
June 13, 2006 at 3:48
1-first of all jesus wasn’t a drunk.
2-second of all evolution is just a theory while jesus has been proven fact hiostorically
3-third of al evolution doesn’t explain where humans came from! all it says is that there was a big bang and a single cell was created which over millions of years evolved. so where did the BIG BANG come from??????????? some say two oxygen atoms combined and formed the bang… well where did the oxygen atom come from? so muche for ” THEORIES THAT MAKE SENSE”
4- If your crazy enough to believe that an oxygen atom created the world or that we came from monkeys why not believe that there is a stronger being that has the power to create us?
5- lots of things look like eachother… that doesn’t mean they creatred or evoluted from eachother! i.e doors look the same like drawers exept they’re bigger; however, the both close, open, and isolate things in a specific area. DOES THAT MEAN DOORS EVOLVED FROM DRAWERS????????????? same thing with humans, just because we have similar features doesn’t mean we were once monkies!
6-all other religions talk about a god. so Having or following religion isn’t wrong or untrue. Each religion reflects a person’s beliefs.
7- look at each religion an see which ones COULD ACTUALLY BE TRUE! some religions worship statues … well stones can’t even move let alone create the Universe…. so that’s out of the question. Islam talks about war, minimizing the status of women, and killing all enemies i.e non-muslims… so its out of the question. Christianity however talks about a loving God that loved his creation that he sent a part of himself- Jesus- to save them. it talks about loving one another and living in peace, and then, if you’re good, you’re rewarded eternally! thats what i’m talking about! THAT IS WHAT MAKES GOOD SENS!!!!!!!
8- people who don’t believe in God or religions are either lost or feel bound by the rules each religion inflicts about its followers. When it satys thou shalt not kill… it’s becasue if you kill someone you couse more pain thus not living in a peacefull life. when it say thou shalt not commit adultry … it’s because if one partner cheats on his other partner the girl would get mad, maybe soo mad that he could take revenge… which AGAINcauses pain. WOULD YOU LIKE TO LIVE IN PAIN? thought so ..
pple just feel that they are limmitted by the rules becausse they don’t understand the full meaning behind it.
9- IT’S WAY EASIER TO BE RELIGIOUS THAN BE AN ATHEIEST. in a religion u have laws and rules that guide u 2 a better life.. while in atheism u feel lost because you don’t know what to do. this has been proven by a friend of mine who was a non believer and has converted to chirtianity. i know u could say follow government rules. Where do u think governments come up with law… themelves …. what a joke! they make laws directly from their beliefs… Why do u think arabic governments allow a man to marry 4 women … islam a religion. in cananda and U.S. 1 man and 1 wife … christianity … also a religion.
10- even if ur a nonbeliever ur still ruled by religion so technically ur not what u could call ‘FREE’.
why not choose a religion then… ur ruled by it no matter what!
the question is which religion … i know its a frre country an all so i won’t tell u what religion to choose.
BUT I THINK ITS OBIVIOS … CHRISTIANITY IS THE WAY TO HEAVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Islam never allows anyone to express their feelings. we’re in da 21st century there is a llitle something christains came up with a long time ago that islam fails — as usual– to recognise, which is FREDOM OF CHOICE AND FREEDOM OF EXPRESSSION!

Sorry All your brothers n sisters, I m a proud Muslim, Which has no racism for any one, Our Prophet (PBUH) never used these types of harsh words even for non-muslims, there is totally a misconception in Western world about Islam.
Islam never said to kill any person,this is totally illliteracy about Islam.
Word Islam comes out from Salam which means peace.
loats of peoples are saying that Islam spreads by Sword(totally wrong thinking).
Regarding Hijab:
The status of women in Islam is often the target of attacks in the secular media.
The ‘hijab’ or the Islamic dress is cited by many as an example of the
‘subjugation’ of women under Islamic law. Before we analyze the reasoning
behind the religiously mandated ‘hijab’, let us first study the status of women in
societies before the advent of Islam
1. In the past women were degraded and used as objects of lust
The following examples from history amply illustrate the fact that the status of
women in earlier civilizations was very low to the extent that they were denied
basic human dignity:
a. Babylonian Civilization:
The women were degraded and were denied all rights under the Babylonian
law. If a man murdered a woman, instead of him being punished, his wife
was put to death.
b. Greek Civilization:
Greek Civilization is considered the most glorious of all ancient civilizations.
Under this very ‘glorious’ system, women were deprived of all rights and
were looked down upon. In Greek mythology, an ‘imaginary woman’ called
‘Pandora’ is the root cause of misfortune of human beings. The Greeks
considered women to be subhuman and inferior to men. Though chastity of
women was precious, and women were held in high esteem, the Greeks
were later overwhelmed by ego and sexual perversions. Prostitution
became a regular practice amongst all classes of Greek society.
c. Roman Civilization:
When Roman Civilization was at the zenith of its ‘glory’, a man even had the
right to take the life of his wife. Prostitution and nudity were common
amongst the Romans.
d. Egyptian Civilization:
The Egyptian considered women evil and as a sign of a devil.
e. Pre-Islamic Arabia:
Before Islam spread in Arabia, the Arabs looked down upon women and
very often when a female child was born, she was buried alive.

hijab Cont..:
Suppose two sisters who are twins, and who are equally beautiful, walk down
the street. One of them is attired in the Islamic hijab i.e. the complete body is
covered, except for the face and the hands up to the wrists. The other sister is
wearing western clothes, a mini skirt or shorts. Just around the corner there is
a hooligan or ruffian who is waiting for a catch, to tease a girl. Whom will he
tease? The girl wearing the Islamic Hijab or the girl wearing the skirt or the mini?
Naturally he will tease the girl wearing the skirt or the mini. Such dresses are an
indirect invitation to the opposite sex for teasing and molestation. The Qur’an
rightly says that hijab prevents women from being molested.
Mushi said,
July 16, 2006 at 3:32
Western society falsely claims to have uplifted women:
Western talk of women’s liberalization is nothing but a disguised form of
exploitation of her body, degradation of her soul, and deprivation of her honour.
Western society claims to have ‘uplifted’ women. On the contrary it has actually
degraded them to the status of concubines, mistresses and society butterflies
who are mere tools in the hands of pleasure seekers and sex marketeers,
hidden behind the colourful screen of ‘art’ and ‘culture’.

Explanation Continue…:
USA has one of the highest rates of rape
United States of America is supposed to be one of the most advanced countries
of the world. It also has one of the highest rates of rape in any country in the
world. According to a FBI report, in the year 1990, every day on an average
1756 cases of rape were committed in U.S.A alone. Later another report said
that on an average everyday 1900 cases of rapes are committed in USA. The
year was not mentioned. May be it was 1992 or 1993. May be the Americans
got ‘bolder’ in the following years.
Consider a scenario where the Islamic hijab is followed in America. Whenever
a man looks at a woman and any brazen or unashamed thought comes to his
mind, he lowers his gaze. Every woman wears the Islamic hijab, that is the
complete body is covered except the face and the hands upto the wrist. After
this if any man commits rape he is given capital punishment. I ask you, in such a scenario, will the rate of rape in America increase, will it remain the same, or will it decrease?
Implementation of Islamic Shariah will reduce the rate of rapes
Naturally as soon as Islamic Shariah is implemented positive results will be
inevitable. If Islamic Shariah is implemented in any part of the world, whether it is America or Europe, society will breathe easier. Hijab does not degrade a woman but uplifts a woman and protects her modesty and chastity.

Spreading Of Islam not with Sword but with Love and Peace:
It is a common complaint among some non-Muslims that Islam would not have millions of adherents all over the world, if it had not been spread by the use of force. The following points will make it clear, that far from being spread by the sword, it was the inherent force of truth, reason and logic that was responsible for the rapid spread of Islam.
Islam means peace.
Islam comes from the root word ‘salaam’, which means peace. It also means
submitting one’s will to Allah (swt). Thus Islam is a religion of peace, which is
acquired by submitting one’s will to the will of the Supreme Creator, Allah (swt).
Sometimes force has to be used to maintain peace.
Each and every human being in this world is not in favour of maintaining peace and harmony. There are many, who would disrupt it for their own vested interests. Sometimes force has to be used to maintain peace. It is precisely for this reason that we have the police who use force against criminals and antisocial elements to maintain peace in the country. Islam promotes peace. At the same time, Islam exhorts it followers to fight where there is oppression. The fight against oppression may, at times, require the use of force. In Islam force can only be used to promote peace and justice.
Opinion of historian De Lacy O’Leary.
The best reply to the misconception that Islam was spread by the sword is given by the noted historian De Lacy O’Leary in the book “Islam at the cross road� (Page 8):
“History makes it clear however, that the legend of fanatical Muslims sweeping through the world and forcing Islam at the point of the sword upon conquered races is one of the most fantastically absurd myth that historians have ever repeated.�
Muslims ruled Spain for 800 years.
Muslims ruled Spain for about 800 years. The Muslims in Spain never used the sword to force the people to convert. Later the Christian Crusaders came to Spain and wiped out the Muslims. There was not a single Muslim in Spain who could openly give the adhan, that is the call for prayers.

14 million Arabs are Coptic Christians.
Muslims were the lords of Arabia for 1400 years. For a few years the British
ruled, and for a few years the French ruled. Overall, the Muslims ruled Arabia
for 1400 years. Yet today, there are 14 million Arabs who are Coptic Christians
i.e. Christians since generations. If the Muslims had used the sword there would not have been a single Arab who would have remained a Christian.
More than 80% non-Muslims in India.
The Muslims ruled India for about a thousand years. If they wanted, they had
the power of converting each and every non-Muslim of India to Islam. Today
more than 80% of the population of India are non-Muslims. All these non-
Muslim Indians are bearing witness today that Islam was not spread by the
sword.
Indonesia and Malaysia.
Indonesia is a country that has the maximum number of Muslims in the world.
The majority of people in Malaysia are Muslims. May one ask, “Which Muslim
army went to Indonesia and Malaysia?�
East Coast of Africa.
Similarly, Islam has spread rapidly on the East Coast of Africa. One may again ask, if Islam was spread by the sword, “Which Muslim army went to the East Coast of Africa?�
Thomas Carlyle.
The famous historian, Thomas Carlyle, in his book “Heroes and Hero worship�,
refers to this misconception about the spread of Islam: “The sword indeed, but where will you get your sword? Every new opinion, at its starting is precisely in a minority of one. In one man’s head alone. There it dwells as yet. One man alone of the whole world believes it, there is one man against all men. That he takes a sword and try to propagate with that, will do little for him. You must get your sword! On the whole, a thing will propagate itself as it can.�
No compulsion in religion.
With which sword was Islam spread? Even if Muslims had it they could not use it to spread Islam because the Qur’an says in the following verse:
“Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from
error�
[Al-Qur’an 2:256]

Increase in the world religions from 1934 to 1984.
An article in Reader’s Digest ‘Almanac’, year book 1986, gave the statistics of the increase of percentage of the major religions of the world in half a century from 1934 to 1984. This article also appeared in ‘The Plain Truth’ magazine. At the top was Islam, which increased by 235%, and Christianity had increased only by 47%. May one ask, which war took place in this century which converted millions of people to Islam?
Islam is the fastest growing religion in America and Europe.
Today the fastest growing religion in America is Islam. The fastest growing
religion in Europe is Islam. Which sword is forcing people in the West to accept Islam in such large numbers?
Dr. Joseph Adam Pearson.
Dr. Joseph Adam Pearson rightly says, “People who worry that nuclear
weaponry will one day fall in the hands of the Arabs, fail to realize that the
Islamic bomb has been dropped already, it fell the day MUHAMMED (pbuh) was born�.

Now about the Misconception that Muslims are Terrorists and Fundamentalists:
Let us analyze this allegation of ‘fundamentalism’ and ‘terrorism’:
Definition of the word ‘fundamentalist’
A fundamentalist is a person who follows and adheres to the fundamentals of
the doctrine or theory he is following. For a person to be a good doctor, he
should know, follow, and practise the fundamentals of medicine. In other words, he should be a fundamentalist in the field of medicine. For a person to be a good mathematician, he should know, follow and practise the fundamentals of mathematics. He should be a fundamentalist in the field of mathematics. For a person to be a good scientist, he should know, follow and practise the fundamentals of science. He should be a fundamentalist in the field of science.
Not all ‘fundamentalists’ are the same
One cannot paint all fundamentalists with the same brush. One cannot
categorize all fundamentalists as either good or bad. Such a categorization of any fundamentalist will depend upon the field or activity in which he is a
fundamentalist. A fundamentalist robber or thief causes harm to society and is therefore undesirable. A fundamentalist doctor, on the other hand, benefits
society and earns much respect.
I am proud to be a Muslim funda-mentalist
I am a fundamentalist Muslim who, by the grace of Allah, knows, follows and
strives to practise the fundamentals of Islam. A true Muslim does not shy away from being a fundamentalist. I am proud to be a fundamentalist Muslim
because, I know that the fundamentals of Islam are beneficial to humanity and the whole world. There is not a single fundamental of Islam that causes harm or is against the interests of the human race as a whole. Many people harbour misconceptions about Islam and consider several teachings of Islam to be unfair or improper. This is due to insufficient and incorrect knowledge of Islam.
If one critically analyzes the teachings of Islam with an open mind, one cannot
escape the fact that Islam is full of benefits both at the individual and collective levels.
Dictionary meaning of the word ‘fundamentalist’
According to Webster’s dictionary ‘fundamentalism’ was a movement in
American Protestanism that arose in the earlier part of the 20th century. It was a reaction to modernism, and stressed the infallibility of the Bible, not only in matters of faith and morals but also as a literal historical record. It stressed on belief in the Bible as the literal word of God. Thus fundamentalism was a word initially used for a group of Christians who believed that the Bible was the verbatim word of God without any errors and mistakes. According to the Oxford dictionary ‘fundamentalism’ means ‘strict maintenance of ancient or fundamental doctrines of any religion, especially Islam’.Today the moment a person uses the word fundamentalist he thinks of a Muslim who is a terrorist.
Mushi said,
July 16, 2006 at 3:59
Every Muslim should be a terrorist
Every Muslim should be a terrorist. A terrorist is a person who causes terror.
The moment a robber sees a policeman he is terrified. A policeman is a terrorist for the robber. Similarly every Muslim should be a terrorist for the antisocial elements of society, such as thieves, dacoits and rapists. Whenever such an anti-social element sees a Muslim, he should be terrified. It is true that the word ‘terrorist’ is generally used for a person who causes terror among the common people. But a true Muslim should only be a terrorist to selective people i.e. antisocial elements, and not to the common innocent people. In fact a Muslim should be a source of peace for innocent people.
Different labels given to the same individual for the same action,
i.e. ‘terrorist’ and ‘patriot’
Before India achieved independence from British rule, some freedom fighters of India who did not subscribe to non-violence were labeled as terrorists by the British government. The same individuals have been lauded by Indians for the same activities and hailed as ‘patriots’. Thus two different labels have been given to the same people for the same set of actions. One is calling him a terrorist while the other is calling him a patriot. Those who believed that Britain had a right to rule over India called these people terrorists, while those who were of the view that Britain had no right to rule India called them patriots and freedom fighters.
It is therefore important that before a person is judged, he is given a fair hearing. Both sides of the argument should be heard, the situation should be analyzed, and the reason and the intention of the person should be taken into account, and then the person can be judged accordingly.
Islam means peace
Islam is derived from the word ‘salaam’ which means peace. It is a religion of
peace whose fundamentals teach its followers to maintain and promote peace throughout the world.
Thus every Muslim should be a fundamentalist i.e. he should follow the
fundamentals of the Religion of Peace: Islam. He should be a terrorist only towards the antisocial elements in order to promote peace and justice in the society.

For Sister mariam: why 4 Marriages Allowed in Islam:
In other words Polygamy.
Polygamy means a system of marriage whereby one person has more than one spouse. Polygamy can be of two types. One is polygyny where a man marries more than one woman, and the other is polyandry, where a woman marries more than one man. In Islam, limited polygyny is permitted; whereas polyandry is completely prohibited.
Now coming to the original question, why is a man allowed to have more than
one wife?
The Qur’an is the only religious scripture in the world that says,
“marry only one�.
The Qur’an is the only religious book, on the face of this earth, that contains the phrase ‘marry only one’. There is no other religious book that instructs men to have only one wife. In none of the other religious scriptures, whether it be the Vedas, the Ramayan, the Mahabharat, the Geeta, the Talmud or the Bible does one find a restriction on the number of wives. According to these scriptures one can marry as many as one wishes. It was only later, that the Hindu priests and the Christian Church restricted the number of wives to one.
Many Hindu religious personalities, according to their scriptures, had multiple wives. King Dashrat, the father of Rama, had more than one wife. Krishna had several wives.
In earlier times, Christian men were permitted as many wives as they wished, since the Bible puts no restriction on the number of wives. It was only a few centuries ago that the Church restricted the number of wives to one.
Polygyny is permitted in Judaism. According to Talmudic law, Abraham had
three wives, and Solomon had hundreds of wives. The practice of polygyny
continued till Rabbi Gershom ben Yehudah (960 C.E to 1030 C.E) issued an
edict against it. The Jewish Sephardic communities living in Muslim countries continued the practice till as late as 1950, until an Act of the Chief Rabbinate of Israel extended the ban on marrying more than one wife….

Let us now analyse why Islam allows a man to have more than one wife.
Qur’an permits limited polygyny:
As I mentioned earlier, Qur’an is the only religious book on the face of the earth that says ‘marry only one’. The context of this phrase is the following verse from Surah Nisa of the Glorious Qur’an:
“Marry women of your choice, two, or three, or four; but if ye fear that
ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one.�
[Al-Qur’an 4:3]
Before the Qur’an was revealed, there was no upper limit for polygyny and
many men had scores of wives, some even hundreds. Islam put an upper limit of four wives. Islam gives a man permission to marry two, three or four women, only on the condition that he deals justly with them.
In the same chapter i.e. Surah Nisa verse 129 says:
“Ye are never able to be fair and just as between women….â€?
[Al-Qur’an 4:129]
Therefore polygyny is not a rule but an exception. Many people are under the
misconception that it is compulsory for a Muslim man to have more than one wife.
Broadly, Islam has five categories of Do’s and Don’ts:
(i) ‘Fard’ i.e. compulsory or obligatory
(ii) ‘Mustahab’ i.e. recommended or encouraged
(iii) ‘Mubah’ i.e. permissible or allowed
(iv) ‘Makruh’ i.e. not recommended or discouraged
(v) ‘Haraam’ i.e. prohibited or forbidden
Polygyny falls in the middle category of things that are permissible. It cannot be said that a Muslim who has two, three or four wives is a better Muslim as
compared to a Muslim who has only one wife.

Average life span of females is more than that of males
By nature males and females are born in approximately the same ratio. A
female child has more immunity than a male child. A female child can fight the germs and diseases better than the male child. For this reason, during the pediatric age itself there are more deaths among males as compared to the females.
During wars, there are more men killed as compared to women. More men die due to accidents and diseases than women. The average life span of females is more than that of males, and at any given time one finds more widows in the world than widowers.
India has more male population than female due to female
foeticide and infanticide.
India is one of the few countries, along with the other neighbouring countries, in which the female population is less than the male population. The reason lies in the high rate of female infanticide in India, and the fact that more than one million female foetuses are aborted every year in this country, after they are identified as females. If this evil practice is stopped, then India too will have more females as compared to males.
World female population is more than male population
In the USA, women outnumber men by 7.8 million. New York alone has one
million more females as compared to the number of males, and of the male
population of New York one-third are gays i.e sodomites. The U.S.A as a whole has more than twenty-five million gays. This means that these people do not wish to marry women. Great Britain has four million more females as compared to males. Germany has five million more females as compared to males. Russia has nine million more females than males. God alone knows how many million more females there are in the whole world as compared to males.
Restricting each and every man to have only one wife is not practical:
Even if every man got married to one woman, there would still be more than
thirty million females in U.S.A who would not be able to get husbands
(considering that America has twenty five million gays). There would be more
than four million females in Great Britain, 5 million females in Germany and nine million females in Russia alone who would not be able to find a husband.
Suppose my sister happens to be one of the unmarried women living in USA, or suppose your sister happens to be one of the unmarried women in USA. The only two options remaining for her are that she either marries a man who already has a wife or becomes ‘public property’. There is no other option. All those who are modest will opt for the first.

Most women would nto like to share their husband with other women. But in
Islam when the situation deems it really neccessary Muslim women in due faith could bear a small personal loss to prevent a greater loss of letting other Muslim sisters becoming ‘public properties’.
Marring a married man preferable to becoming ‘public property’
In Western society, it is common for a man to have mistresses and/or multiple extra-marital affairs, in which case, the woman leads a disgraceful, unprotected life. The same society, however, cannot accept a man having more than one wife, in which women retain their honourable, dignified position in society and lead a protected life.
Thus the only two options before a woman who cannot find a husband is to
marry a married man or to become ‘public property’. Islam prefers giving
women the honourable position by permitting the first option and disallowing the second.
There are several other reasons, why Islam has permitted limited polygyny, but it is mainly to protect the modesty of women.
Mushi said,
July 16, 2006 at 4:21
A lot of people, including some Muslims, question the logic of allowing Muslim
men to have more than one spouse while denying the same ‘right’ to women.
Let me first state emphatically, that the foundation of an Islamic society is justice
and equity. Allah has created men and women as equal, but with different
capabilities and different responsibilities. Men and women are different,
physiologically and psychologically. Their roles and responsibilities are different.
Men and women are equal in Islam, but not identical.
Surah Nisa’ Chapter 4 verses 22 to 24 gives the list of women with whom
Muslim men can not marry. It is further mentioned in Surah Nisa’ Chapter 4
verse 24 “Also (prohibited are) women already married�
The following points enumerate the reasons why polyandry is prohibited in
Islam:
1. If a man has more than one wife, the parents of the children born of such
marriages can easily be identified. The father as well as the mother can
easily be identified. In case of a woman marrying more than one husband,
only the mother of the children born of such marriages will be identified and
not the father. Islam gives tremendous importance to the identification of
both parents, mother and father. Psychologists tell us that children who do
not know their parents, especially their father undergo severe mental
trauma and disturbances. Often they have an unhappy childhood. It is for
this reason that the children of prostitutes do not have a healthy childhood.
If a child born of such wedlock is admitted in school, and when the mother
is asked the name of the father, she would have to give two or more names!
I am aware that recent advances in science have made it possible for both
the mother and father to be identified with the help of genetic testing. Thus
this point which was applicable for the past may not be applicable for the
present.
2. Man is more polygamous by nature as compared to a woman.
3. Biologically, it is easier for a man to perform his duties as a husband despite
having several wives. A woman, in a similar position, having several
husbands, will not find it possible to perform her duties as a wife. A woman
undergoes several psychological and behavioral changes due to different
phases of the menstrual cycle.
4. A woman who has more than one husband will have several sexual
partners at the same time and has a high chance of acquiring venereal or
sexually transmitted diseases which can also be transmitted back to her
husband even if all of them have no extra-marital sex. This is not the case
in a man having more than one wife, and none of them having extra-marital
sex.
The above reasons are those that one can easily identify. There are probably
many more reasons why Allah, in His Infinite Wisdom, has prohibited polyandry.

Another Important might arrives in non-muslims minds that why Alcohol is prohibited in Islam:
1. Prohibition of alcohol in the Qur’an
The Glorious Qur’an prohibits the consumption of alcohol in the following verse:
“O ye who believe! Intoxicants and Gambling, (dedication of) stones,
and (divination by) arrows, are an Abomination – of Satan’s handiwork;
eschew such (abomination), that ye may prosper.� [Al-Qur’an 5:90]
2. Prohibition of alcohol in the Bible
The Bible prohibits the consumption of alcohol in the following verses:
a. “Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging; and whosoever is
deceived thereby is not wise.� [Proverbs 20:1]
b. “And be not drunk with wine.� [Ephesians 5:18]
3. Alcohol inhibits the inhibitory centre
The human beings possess an inhibitory centre in their brains. This inhibitory
centre prevents the person from doing things that he considers wrong. For
instance a person does not normally use abusive language while addressing his parents or elders. If he has to answer the call of nature, his inhibitory centre will prevent him from doing so in public. Therefore he uses the toilet.
When a person consumes alcohol, the inhibitory centre itself is inhibited. That is precisely the reason that an inebriated person is often found to be indulging in behaviour that is completely uncharacteristic of him. For instance the intoxicated person is found to use abusive and foul language and does not realize his mistake even if he is addressing his parents. Many even urinate in their clothes. Neither do they talk nor walk properly. They even misbehave.
4. Cases of adultery, rape, incest and AIDS are found more among
alcoholics According to National Crime Victimization Survey Bureau of Justice (U.S. Department of Justice) in the year 1996 alone everyday on an average 2,713 rapes took place. The statistics tell us that the majority of the rapists, were intoxicated while committing the crime. The same is true in cases of molestation.
According to statistics, 8% of Americans commit incest i.e. one in every twelve to thirteen persons in America is involved in incest. Almost all the cases of incest are due to intoxication of one or both the persons involved.
One of the major factors associated with the spread of AIDS, the most dreaded disease, is alcoholism.

Diseases associated with alcoholism
There are several scientific reasons for the prohibition of consumption of
intoxicants i.e. alcohol. The maximum number of deaths in the world related to
any one particular cause is due to the consumption of alcohol. Millions of people
die every year only because of intake of alcohol. I need not go into the details
of all the ill-effects of alcohol since most of them are commonly known. Below
is a simple list of few of the alcohol related illnesses:
1. Cirrhosis of Liver is the most well known alcohol associated disease.
2. Others are Cancer of Oesophagus, Cancer of Head and Neck, Cancer of
Liver (Hepatoma), Cancer of Bowel, etc.
3. Oesophagitis, Gastritis, Pancreatitis and Hepatitis are linked with alcohol
consumption.
4. Cardiomyopathy, Hypertension, Coronary Artherosclerosis, Angina and
Heart Attacks are linked with heavy alcohol intakes.
5. Strokes, Apoplexy, Fits and different types of Paralysis are linked with
alcohol intake.
6. Peripheral Neuropathy, Cortical Atrophy, Cerebellar Atrophy are well-known
syndromes caused by alcohol consumption.
7. Wernicke – Korsakoff syndrome with amnesia of recent events,
confabulations and retainment of memory to old events with different types
of paralysis are mainly due to thiamine deficiency due to excessive alcohol
intake.
8. Beriberi and other deficiencies are not uncommon among alcoholics. Even
Pellagra occurs in alcoholics.
9. Delerium Tremens is a serious complication that may occur during recurrent
infection of alcoholics or post operatively. It also occurs during abstention as
a sign of withdrawal effect. It is quite serious and may cause death even if
treated in well equipped centres.
10. Numerous Endocrine Disorders have been associated with alcoholism
ranging from Myxodema to Hyperthyroidism and Florid Cushing Syndrome.
11. Hematological ill effects are long and variable. Folic acid deficiency,
however, is the most common manifestation of alcoholic abuse resulting in
Macrocytic Anemia. Zeive’s syndrome is a triad of Hemolytic Anemia,
Jaundice and Hyperlipaedemia that follows alcoholic binges.
12. Thrombocytopenia and other platelet abnormalities are not rare in
alcoholics.
13. The commonly used tablet metronidazole (flagyl) interacts badly with
alcohol.
Mushi said,
July 16, 2006 at 4:29
14. Recurrent infection is very common among chronic alcoholics. The
resistance to disease and the immunological defense system are
compromised by alcohol intake.
15. Chest infections are notorious in alcoholics. Pneumonia, Lung Abcess,
Emphysema and Pulmonary Tuberculosis are all common in alcoholics.
16. During acute alcoholic intoxication, the drunk person usually vomits, the
cough reflexes which are protective are paralysed. The vomitus thus easily
pass to the lung causing Pneumonia or Lung Abscess. Occasionally it may
even cause suffocation and death.
17. The ill effects of alcohol consumption on women deserves special mention.
Females are more vulnerable to alcohol-related Cirrhosis than men. During
pregnancy alcohol consumption has a severe detrimental effect on the
foetus. Foetal Alcohol Syndrome is being recognised more and more in the
medical profession.
18. Skin diseases are also related to alcohol indulgence.
19. Eczema, Alopecia, Nail Dystrophy, Paronychia (infection around the nails)
and Angular Stomatitis (inflammation of the angle of the mouth) are
common diseases among alcoholics.
9. Alcoholism is a ‘disease’
Medical doctors have now turned liberal towards alcoholics and call alcoholism
a disease rather than an addiction.
The Islamic Research Foundation has published a pamphlet that says:
If alcohol is a disease, it is the only disease that:
- Is sold in bottles
- Is advertised in newspapers, magazines, on radio and television
- Has licensed outlets to spread it
- Produces revenue for the government
- Brings violent deaths on the highways
- Destroys fam
