The Antichristian Phenomenon

I’m guessing this might become a semi-regular series of post since there does not seem to be any shortage of articles that provoke me to write.

My latest “provocation” comes in the form of the reaction of Muslim extremists to the knighting of author Salman Rushdie.

“This is an occasion for the 1.5 billion Muslims to look at the seriousness of this decision,” Mohammed Ijaz ul-Haq, religious affairs minister, told the Pakistani parliament in Islamabad. “The west is accusing Muslims of extremism and terrorism. If someone exploded a bomb on his body he would be right to do so unless the British government apologises and withdraws the ‘sir’ title.”

I do not think the irony in the above sentence has been lost on anyone. It is like saying something akin to: “If you call me violent again I’m going to kick your ass“.

Setting that aside for the moment though, the biggest problem lies in the fact that these people are allowed to say these hate-filled inflammatory things. They are “allowed”, not in the sense that someone should silence them (as that would be a violation of freedom of speech), but in the sense that their fellow 1.5 billion Muslims do not raise their voices to condemn such a reaction. There is not a public Muslim outcry, nor do they speak up to distance themselves from these religious fanatics that would rather silence controversial speech than listen and improve.

But no, not only are the Muslims of the world not appalled by these statements but they grant their silent consent and give leeway to fanatics that will attempt to gain a priority ticket to jannah. The only objections that were raised on this? That he deserves judgment before being killed and that maybe the sentence only counts if he is in an Islamic country.

Unfortunately, it is in the name of “Respect” that people don’t judge this horrid religion as befits it. Just because there exists a minority of peaceful Muslims who cry wolf every time their precious beliefs are insulted.

And then they have the gall to go out in the street and burn the book!
I wonder how these people would take it a few thousand people gathered, burned Qur’ans and shat on the drawings of Mohammad?
They expect us to respect their ridiculous delusions, but for them that also entails allowing them to step on freedom of speech ( I remind that the book was banned on almost all Islamic countries while they also tried to ban it in the UK. See the Timeline of Hate here), trying to force whole nations from exercising their traditions, accept their seething hatred for a single man etc.

Dawkins indeed had the right of it. Who is hiding all those people that bombed Bookshops – for fuck’s sake, Bookshops! – but the same “peaceful” Muslims living in the first world countries? They leave their oppressive countries to come to us and then they try to make this society afraid in the same way they were.

For them, the Knighting of a person who has granted so much to literature is an attack on Islam! For them it can only be respect if we act according to sharia and nothing else. Why then should I “respect” the rights of them to wear the clothes their religion requires, when they are not appropriate? Why should I respect their wish to keep their own religious holidays or anything else they wish to claim? Why should we respect anything?

I say Fuck ‘Em! Fuck their Mohammad and fuck their imams and fuck their worthless, piece-of-shit, excuse for a holy book. If they want my respect, they’d better earn it for it does not come cheap and it certainly does not come under threat of violence. The more they force me to “respect” them (ergo, shut my mouth) the more I will spit in their eye, piss on their religious symbols and laugh at their ridiculous and horribly outdated traditions.

And that goes for all Monotheists as well.
