Inhumanity, Ignorance and Islam go hand in hand

Some Muslims would deny, but the truth is, the Taliban practices pure Islam. They want no democracy in Afghanistan. Islam is for theocracy, not for democracy. The Taliban wants to have Allah’s law, exactly what Mr. Muhammad wanted. Allah’s law will be practiced everywhere, non-Muslims and non-believers will be killed. The world will be Darul Islam, the land of Islam.

The great Taliban, the protectors of Islam, cut off the fingers of Afghan voters for casting their ballot.

Ah.

Yes. Exactly.

Not just the Taliban mind you, also Boko Haram, ISIS / ISIL* ( Islamic State of Iraq and Syria / Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant) , Al Shabbab, Hamas, Jemaah Islamiyya (JI -Indonesia), Abu Sayyaf (Southern Phillipines), Hezbollah, Laskar-etoiba, et cetera.

* The new group that have just taken over a large chunk of Iraq including the Mosul, Ramadi and Tikrit and have already put online videos of themselves executing unarmed prisoners en masse – a group that even AlQuaida thinks are too extreme!

Thank you! This fact is often denied by apologists I know.

Do I thinks all Muslims are inhumane cretins? Of course not! But the “extremist” ones are actually following what is written in their so-called holy books. And yes, the same could be said of Christian “extremists.”

Pakistan Army Launches Military Operation Code Named ‘Zarb-e-Azb’ in North Waziristan against Taliban & Forign terrorists who attacked on Jinnah international airport. The security forces launched operation in North Waziristan Agency on Saturday night, killing at least 150 terrorists. Pakistan army is one of the best army in world unlike Iraqi soldiers who ran away like cowards.
We wish best of luck to Pakistan Army, May ALLAH be with them.

The meaning of Zarb-e-Azb is sharp and cutting. It’s reportedly the sword used by Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)

I grew up around Muslims and made 2 hardcore Muslim best friends from an early age of 4 through 28. he since haven’t spoken to me much after an arranged marriage.

Now after studying daily Shia & Sunni. Boko Harram, ISIS, al qaeda, ect…. I’m starting to think what would be best for the world is this religion to completely die out. Islam and this ISIS movement for example reminds me exactly of the Nazi Party. You’ll find identical traits as to what Hitler did in Germany and what’s going on now.

As long as Islam is a religion there will be daily death in the name of the this false prophet “Mohammed”. allahu akbar?
