Islam and Muslims is a History of Oppression, Violence, and Fanaticism

Have you ever pondered what has been the contribution of Islam and
Muslims to the world civilization until now? The answer is very
evident and straightforward: oppression, violence, discrimination, and
fanaticism. These negative immoral values have been an essential part
of Islam since its inception.
Here is the evidence. Muhammad, the leader of Muslims claimed that he
was a “prophet,” and in the name Allah, he ordered his followers to
kill the “infidels,” non-Muslims; in particular, Jews and Christians.
While Judaism and Christianity were spread peacefully under sacrifices
by followers of Moses and Jesus, Islam was spread under the threat of
the sword: “Submit to Islam, otherwise you’ll be killed.” Islam
considers non-Muslims the enemies of Allah. For more details, check
out Understanding Muhammad by Ali Sina.
Also in the name of Allah, Muhammad urged his followers to conquer the
world and force its people to convert into Muslims. Muslims call all
this “Futuhat” (opening). The Muslim conquest was bloodier much worse
than “colonialism.” The British and French colonialists never forced
people to renounce their local faiths. For further details, check out
Islamic Jihad by M.A. Khan.
After Muhammad’s death, four of his staunchly contemporary followers
took over, called the Caliphs, or “Al Khulafa’ Al Rashidun” (the
rightly guided successors) as Muslims prefer to call them. Abu Bakr,
Omar, Othman, and Ali, all of them were murdered by fellow Muslims in
bitter fights for the leadership of the rising Muslim empire.
Exploiting a power vacuum in the world after the decline of the Roman
Empire, Muslims conquered big parts of the world: the Middle East,
North Africa, Spain, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Kazakhstan,
Azerbaijan (and other regions in Central Asia), parts of India,
Bangladesh, parts of China, down to Malaysia, and Indonesia.
As Omar Ibn Al Khattab, the second Caliph, was visiting Egypt after
his troops had conquered it, he stood in front of the largest and most
precious library in world at the time, in Alexandria, and asked, “What
is this?” He was told it was a library. He stated, “If its books say
what the Koran says, then it is superfluous. If it doesn’t, it must be
destroyed.” And it was destroyed.
As a tourist, if you roam Arab and Muslim countries, what historical
ruins do you sight? Certainly not Muslim ones. In Egypt you see
Paranoiac ruins, in Iraq Babylonian ruins, in Syria, Tunisia, Morocco,
and Turkey you sight Greek and Roman ruins, in Lebanon Phoenician
ruins, etc.
Two beautiful churches were converted into mosques: the Sophia in
Istanbul and the one that is now called Umayyah Mosque in Damascus.
Since the inception of Islam, Muslims have always divided the world
into Darrul-Islam, where Islam is the state’s religion, and Darul-
Harb, where Muslims live in Kafir-states (infidel states) as a
minority.
According to a study by the AmericanUniversity in Cairo/Egypt, the
majority of Muslims all over the world want to see Sharia, the “law of
Allah” introduced and applied across the globe.
Ideologically, i.e. religiously, Muslims have always claimed “purity”
and “supremacy” of Islam over other religions, in particular Judaism
and Christianity, which they allege have been deformed over the time.
Mosques and madrassas all over the world preach this day in day out.
Besides, it is unthinkable for the majority of Muslims to separate
Islam from the state. They claim that Islam is a full-fledged system
that regulates both religious and mundane life. They also believe that
Sharia is “the best law” for all, every time and everywhere.
Advocates of “rationalism” and “secularism,” like Ibn Khaldun
(1336-1406) and Ibn Rushd (1126-1198), inspired by Greek philosophy,
were prosecuted and put under house-arrest during the so-called
“golden ages” of the Muslim empire. Both scholars were able to study
Greek philosophy and write their scholarly works not in the center of
the Muslim Empire, not in Baghdad and Cairo, but in its peripheries in
Spain, which at the time enjoyed an economic and cultural prosperity.
At present, Muslim scholars dare not criticize irrational archaic
passages in the Koran and Hadith. They risk being killed or
prosecuted. The Egyptian theologian Nasser Hamed Abu Zeid is a case in
point.
Heads of religious establishments, who predominantly were and are
still fundamentalist, have enjoyed full power and have staunchly been
allies of Arab-Muslim leaders.
Religious establishments, run by ministries of religious affairs,
called Wazarat Al Awqaf, or schools like Al Azhar in Cairo/Egypt, have
always played a “vital” role in cementing the rule of political
totalitarian regimes. Through their Ijtihad (efforts of
interpretation) and fatwas they have tried to justify/legitimate the
ruler’s actions whenever and wherever it is convenient to both. They
have also played an important role in brain-washing the masses and
hence helped subjugate them to the ruler’s will.
“Submission” plays a pivotal role in subjugating the masses,
especially the illiterate among them who constitute the majority in
the Muslim world. The word “Islam” means basically “submission.”
Additionally, according to both the Koran and Hadith, Muslims must
subjugate to the will of “Walee Al ‘Amr” (the ruler) and to elderly
men in the family.
Muslims are pacified by the tenet: “It is all Allah’s will. The reward
will come in Paradise.” Islam urges Muslims to surrender to the will
of Walee Al ‘Amr. It is “haram” (sinful) to object to the ruler’s
will. As a result, Muslims learn hypocrisy and grow scared of the
altruistic leadership.
Further, Islam, including the Koran and Hadith, rejects the concept of
“democracy” and formation of political parties which they believe they
are pagan fads that only split the Muslim Umma (nation). Instead,
Islam advocates “Shura” (consultation) among the powerful in society.
Muslims address each other by “akhi” (brother) but in practice they do
everything in their hands to accommodate their own interests and
disregard the common good. Investing in the community is practically
unknown in Muslim societies. The powerful do everything possible to
subjugate the masses.
Muslim leaders do not trust each other and do not tolerate criticism.
Every one of them believes that they are acting correctly and those
who disagree with them are branded as “traitors.”
In addition, the Arab states have always fueled internal and external
disputes to distract from their failure to introduce reforms, provide
proper development, and deliver solutions. The Palestinian- Israeli
conflict is a prime case in point.
Hence, the Arab and Muslim states have always been plagued with
internal division, conflict, and weakness.
The Muslim empire, and later the majority of independent Muslim states
over the 20th century have been and are still being ruled by
undemocratic despotic regimes. They are either absolute monarchies
like in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, and
Morocco, or semi military regimes like in Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia,
Syria, Yemen, Sudan, and Saddam’s Iraq. Pakistan, Bangladesh, Turkey,
and Indonesia have been ruled by the military on an on-and-off basis.
Arab and Muslim societies are also plagued by delusion and a wishful
illusionary mindset. The Arab and Muslim media are replete with brain-
washing propaganda and conspiracy theories, depicting Islam as the
best religious and socio-economic program for all times, and blame the
abject misery in the Muslim world on Western hegemony.
Ali Gom’a, the grand mufti of Egypt, claims that Islam is the best
religion on earth. “Those who do not like it, do so because they do
not understand it.”
Islam apologists like Navid Kermani, an Iranian-German, claim that
“very few people understand Sharia.” In other words, all those
atrocious passages in the Koran and Hadith that incite to hatred,
violence, and discrimination against women, are all a mere
“misunderstanding.”
While Muslims reject “interests”, demanded and paid by banks, as
“riba” (usury) they, in reality, take and pay interests, but they call
it “murabaha” (shared profit). They also brag that Islam has
“liberated” women, but in theory and practice they are discriminated
against and denigrated. Check out “Is Islam a Violent Faith?” and
“Women in Hadith.”
Muslim clerics also brag that the Koran is the “best scientific book
of all times.”
Zaghlul Al Najjar, a Muslim theologian
, publishes weekly articles in the Egyptian Al Ahram propagating that
the Koran is the most important scientific book of all times. Just
because the Koran mentions the word “tharra” (atom), he alleges that
the holy book of Muslims is the “mother” of all “scientific books.
Also, Muslim propagandists depict ad nausea a wonderful picture of the
so-called “golden ages of Islam” which never were. Scholars like Ibn
Khaldun and Ibn Rushed flourished in Spain and not in Riyadh, Baghdad,
or Cairo.
Undoubtedly, religion, any religion, becomes part of its followers’
culture. While Protestantism, according to Max Weber, enhanced the
Industrial Revolution, Islam hampered all kinds of social and economic
development of Muslims wherever they have lived.
Under the title “Culture and Economic Success,” in the German monthly
magazine Mercure, Siegfried Kohlhammer ponders over the relationship
between culture and economic progress.
Kohlhammer defines “culture” as the sum of values, religious norms and
beliefs, traditional habits that sub- or unconsciously determine the
thinking and behavior of people. Culture that we acquire and learn
over the process of our socialization affects our “Weltanschuung” and
perception of our intellectual, human and material environment around
us.
This also applies to Muslims where they constitute the majority, or
live as minorities in developed states.
Kohlhammer dedicates a big proportion of his article to explain why
Muslims are economically less successful as a majority and less
integrated, as immigrants. He believes that certain religious and
cultural norms and beliefs hinder Muslims to achieve economic
success.
Kohlhammer argues that Muslims in general are extremely protective of
their families, especially of their female members. They are also
patriarchal. Unlike other cultural groups, they do not allow their
female subordinates to work outside the home and strive for a career.
The relationship between migrant Muslims and non-Muslim communities is
dominated by suspicion and mistrust.
Generally speaking, Muslims attribute their material failure to
“Allah’s will.” They believe that earthly life is trivial and not
worth of being economically proactive. Some of them are deeply
convinced that they are the only ones who would be allowed into
Paradise. “Ambition” is equivalent to “greed” in the Arab Muslim
culture. This attitude and restrictive economic incentives have become
part of the Arab work ethics and economic culture.
In order to survive in a repressive economic environment, Arabs and
Muslims develop “creative” methods of deception towards the state and
fellow citizens. Deceptive bargaining and bribing are an essential
part of daily transaction. Retail salesmen would swear by Allah that
the “price” is the “cost price.” As the customer turns to leave, they
call them back and sell at the price offered by the customer, i.e. the
“cost price,” which of course is not true. This kind of transaction is
called “Shatara” (smartness) and dominates trade in Arab and Muslim
countries, not rational honest trade. The majority of Arab and Muslim
immigrants exploit the welfare system in Europe as also a kind of
Shatara.
In the Arab world, Arab regimes are not really interested in economic
development for the whole population through a modern free economic
market. The small number of successful Arab businessmen is an integral
part of the regime. These people are usually partners of the regime.
Economic repression is maintained as an instrument of political
oppression. Basic consumer goods like bread, sugar, tea, etc. are
subsidized by the state in an attempt to buy allegiance of the
population and an instrument of control. A modern, free, deregulated
market might create progress and prosperity. This, in turn, would
empower people, further independence, and enhance them to demand
democracy, free speech, and human rights.
In most Arab Muslim countries, secure lucrative jobs are predominantly
available in government departments and state-run institutions. The
elite and people of the middle class are largely employed by the state
apparatus. Most basic services and people who work for these services
are controlled by the state. The private sector scarcely offers good
jobs. A population growth of 2 – 3 percent yearly is increasingly
making it difficult for both the state and private sector to provide
enough jobs. Most Muslim states are bankrupt and the private sector is
almost paralyzed. Nepotism and corruption are used to “subsidize”
mediocre incomes and offset striding inflation.
Potential bribe receivers are government officials, the police,
judges, and even university professors. The rest of the population
lives in dire deprivation. This corrupt environment is suffocating
human energy, initiative, and creativity. It is generating a “culture”
that is feeding conspiracy theories, and rumors, “the others are
guilty for our misery, primarily the West.” Yet, Islamists and
nationalists repeat ad nauseum, “We are the best Umma (nation) on the
earth, but the West is hampering our development.”
Solid economic planning is missing. Arab and Muslim state leaders and
war lords keep their populations busy with atrocious clashes – oiled
by the same leaders and lords – in Iraq, Palestine, Lebanon, Libya,
Afghanistan, and most recently Somalia.
The political discourse of Arab regimes is defiant and belligerent.
For instance, after Saddam Hussein of Iraq was executed, Al Gaddafi,
the Libyan dictator, announced the erection of a statue for Saddam in
every Libyan city.
Most Arabs are “experts” in political and economic analysis, their
favorite pastime conversation. Criticism of local political
leaderships and demonstrations are hushed up and perpetrators punished
by jail and torture. On the other hand, tiny demonstrations by
international human rights organizations against Guantanamo are
reported on every Arab state-controlled TV.
As minorities, Muslims have not been either as successful as other
ethnic and religious minorities, in both developed and underdeveloped
countries. Minorities like Jews, Germans, Japanese, Koreans, Chinese,
Indians, Sikhs, and Armenians are the most successful people in North
and South America, in Africa, and Asia, but Muslims are not.
The Jews, the arch enemies of Muslims, in the U.S. make up just 1
percent of the American population, but enjoy a living and education
standard that is 80% higher than that of their American compatriots.
Sixteen percent of all Nobel Prize winners have been Jews.
The Chinese community, for instance, in Indonesia (a country of a
Muslim majority), in Thailand, and America is economically the most
successful. The same applies to Japanese, Indian, and Korean ethnic
minorities. In Uganda and Kenya, the Indian minorities contribute 35
percent of the gross national product.
Muslim Arabs and Muslims in general in America and Europe are not so
successful. In Great Britain, 61 percent of Bangladeshi and Pakistani
immigrants (all Muslims) are jobless. Forty-eight percent of
Pakistanis and 60 percent of Bangladeshis have a low standard of
education. On the other hand, the income of Indians in the UK is
higher than that of average Britons.
In Sweden, while the rate of employment among the local population is
about 74 percent, it is only 42 percent among Turks, 31 percent among
Lebanese, 21 percent among Iraqis, and 12 percent among Somalis.
On the other hand, according to a recent study by a team of
researchers at the American University in Beirut/Lebanon, Arab
Christians, as minorities in Muslim and non-Muslim societies, are
economically more successful than their Muslim counterparts.
The Muslim culture, loaded with a medieval repressive religion, called
Islam, has never gone through a modernization process. Unless this
happens, Islam will keep hampering progress in Muslim societies.
Therefore, political and religious reforms are urgently needed in the
Arab and Muslim world, and the enlightened world must increase it
pressure on Arab/Muslim regimes to do so. Only then the war on
deprivation and extremism can be won.
Political and religious reforms are the key to development and peace
in the Muslim world. Usually, I’m not a pessimist, but this time
around, I am.

Fascism, pronounced /ˈfæʃɪzəm/, comprises a radical and authoritarian
nationalist political ideology[1][2][3][4] and a corporatist economic
ideology. [5]
Fascists believe that nations and/or races are in perpetual conflict
whereby only the strong can survive by being healthy, vital, and by
asserting themselves in conflict against the weak.[6]
The fasces, which consisted of a bundle of rods that were tied around
an axe, were an ancient Roman symbol of the authority of the civic
magistrates; they were carried by his Lictors and could be used for
corporal and capital punishment at his command.[19]
THIS statue is very interesting as it was found in Rome and tells
HEAPS about him , for those who examine its meanings , a GENERAL with
a damaged left leg , scoliosis spine , " mole ' on left cheek in
MARBLE , almost certainly very accurate and lifelike as the cost was
great for statues , and he WAS the LEADER when it was made , very
interesting indeed compared to most OTHER leaders who " posed " in
their finest poses in statue art , a facial " mole ' and body
imperfections was NOT a good look in RESPECTED ancient Roman leader ,
the statue is probably very acurate

The fasces in the United States
The following cases all involve the adoption of the fasces as a visual
image or icon; no actual physical re-introduction has occurred.
* In the Oval Office, above the door leading to the exterior
walkway, and above the corresponding door on the opposite wall, which
leads to the President's private office. (Note: the fasces depicted
have no axes, possibly because in the Roman Republic, the blade was
always removed from the bundle whenever the fasces were carried inside
the city, in order to symbolize the rights of citizens against
arbitrary state power (see above).)
National Guard Bureau insignia
* The National Guard uses the fasces on the seal of the National
Guard Bureau, and it appears in the insignia of Regular Army officers
assigned to National Guard liaison and in the insignia and unit
symbols of National Guard units themselves. For instance, the
regimental crest of the U.S. 71st Infantry Regiment of the New York
National Guard consisted of a gold fasces set on a blue background.
* The reverse of the United States "Mercury" dime (minted from
1916 to 1945) bears the design of a fasces and an olive branch.
* Two fasces appear on either side of the flag of the United
States in the United States House of Representatives, representing the
power of the House and the country.
* The Mace of the United States House of Representatives, designed
to resemble fasces, consists of thirteen ebony rods bound together in
the same fashion as the fasces, topped by a silver eagle on a globe.
* The official seal of the United States Senate has as one
component a pair of crossed fasces.
* Fasces ring the base of the Statue of Freedom atop the United
States Capitol building.
* A frieze on the facade of the United States Supreme Court
building depicts the figure of a Roman centurion holding a fasces, to
represent "order".[4]
* The main entrance hallways in the Wisconsin State Capitol have
lamps which are decorated with stone fasces motifs.
* At the Lincoln Memorial, Lincoln's seat of state bears the fasces
—without axes—on the fronts of its arms. (Fasces also appear on the
pylons flanking the main staircase leading into the memorial.)
* The official seal of the United States Tax Court bears the
fasces at its center.
* Four fasces flank the two bronze plaques on either side of the
bust of Lincoln memorializing his Gettysburg Address at Gettysburg,
Pennsylvania.
* The fasces appears on the state seal of Colorado, USA, beneath
the "All-seeing eye" (or Eye of Providence) and above the mountains
and mines.
* On the seal of the New York City borough of Brooklyn, a figure
carries a fasces; the seal appears on the borough flag. Fasces can
also be seen in the stone columns at Grand Army Plaza.
* Used as part of the Knights of Columbus emblem (designed in
1883).
* Many local police departments use the fasces as part of their
badges and other symbols. For instance, the top border of the Los
Angeles Police Department badge features a fasces. (1940)
* Commercially, a small fasces appeared at the top of one of the
insignia of the Hupmobile car.
* A fasces appears on the statue of George Washington, made by
Jean-Antoine Houdon which is now in the Virginia State Capital
