Statutory Warning: All Religions are Equally Stupid

One of the striking things about the Quran is the flexibility of God (Allah) in some minor respects and an unyielding inflexibility in other major aspects.

Take for instance pork.

Many of us are led to believe that God (Allah) imposes strict prohibitions in dietary matters, particularly in consuming pig’s meat and that under no circumstance must a Muslim eat pork.

Not so. Not so.

Unlike the semi-literate mullahs or the illiterate Muslims who tend to favor a blanket ban on pork, Allah is flexible when it comes to consuming pork.

No, we are not making this bit up about Allah’s flexibility on porcine edibles.

Schmucks, it’s right there in the Quran:

You are forbidden to eat carrion; blood; pig’s meat; any animal over which any name other than God’s has been invoked; any animal strangled, or victim of a violent blow or fall, or gored or savaged by a beast of prey….but if any of you is forced by hunger to eat forbidden food, with no intention of doing wrong, then God is most forgiving and merciful.  (emphasis added, Sura 5, Aya 3)

Lest there be lingering doubt in the devout, God (Allah) repeats this point in Sura 6:

So [believers] eat any [animal] over which God’s name has been pronounced, if you believe in His revelations. Why should you not eat such animals when God has already fully explained what He has forbidden you, except when forced by hunger? (Sura 6, Aya 118 and 119)

So My Name is Khan, next time you find yourself very hungry and in a place where Pork Fried Rice is the only dish on the menu, go right ahead and dig into your swine with gusto.

After all, Allah is forgiving and merciful when it comes to pork.

Creating Discord
Alas, when it comes to Christians or Jews, the well of Allah’s compassion dries up and his inflexible attitude rears up.

And as long as the Quran continues to be the vade mecum of Muslims everywhere, the enmity between Islam and those of other faiths will endure because of verses like the below one:

You who believe, do not take the Jews and Christians as allies; they are allies only to each other. Anyone who takes them as an ally becomes one of them — God does not guide such wrongdoers– yet you [Prophet] will see the perverse at heart rushing to them for protection, saying, ‘We are afraid fortune may turn against us.’ But God may well bring about a triumph or some other event of His own making: then they will rue the secrets they harboured in their hearts, (Sura 5 Aya 51& 52)

Again and again, the Quran strives to disparage Christians and Jews and exalt the status of Allah. Continue reading »

Statutory Warning: All Religions are Equally Stupid

Heaven forbid that Islam should ever extend its sway beyond the religion’s present borders and take the reins of power in new territories.

After reading six Suras and nearly a 100 pages of the Quran, it’s safe to predict that should Islam spread its tentacles to more countries the prospect of freedom would immensely diminish and man’s life on this planet turn infinitely bleaker.

For Allah is the spiritual father of Joseph Stalin.

An uncompromising dictator with scant regard, nay a maniacal disdain, for those who march to the beat of a different drummer.

Christianity, Hinduism and the other religions are no less stupid than Islam but they are less intolerant of disbelievers (to use a favorite term of Allah in the Quran).

Time and again, Allah shouts his contempt for those not receptive to the clarion call of Islam:

Those who reject faith and deny Our revelations will inhabit the blazing fire. (Sura 5, Aya 10)

Blazing fire of a modern-day Lubyanka?

While the skeptics may sneer at our dire prognostications, all we implore of them is turn to the countries where Islam’s writ runs large today. Public worship of any religion except Islam is explicitly forbidden under threat of dire punishment, women are forced to veil their faces, the Mullahs lord over the sheep and the ‘revelations’ of ‘God’ to an illiterate in the seventh century is the supreme arbiter of life and liberty.

If that doesn’t give you the creeps, we don’t know what else will. Continue reading »
