Islamic Teaching


Contributed by Anak Mami

The term “Muslim” simply means “believer” in arabic and has been around long before Muhammad came along. Currently, it is sad that they who call themselves believers have been grossly overtaken by ego and zeal, and complete ignorance of one of the fundamental principles of monotheism: The belief that only God guides whom He wills and only He knows who has been guided.

It is shockingly simple, but the reality is that there wasnt an “Islamic” empire in the middle east. There was an empire. They spread doctrine and sectarian teachings, brainwashing each generation as they went along. Those sectarian, indoctrinated zealots created what is now termed the “Islamic” empire that some people nowadays (usually deluded deprived marginalized poor people) glorify to feel good about themselves.

God/Allah/Yahweh/Jehovah/Elohim (semantics. Im typing in english so i use the term God) knows who the believers (arabic: muslims) are. Not these religionists who stand against what America is all about. I say kick them out. Accept religious freedom or get expelled. “Islamists” and “Muslims” in today’s society are promoting the proselytism of children and think they have the God given right to know who are the believers. Such ego, hatred, and us-vs-them mentality does good for no society.

Islam is not something you learn from your parents, it’s not something you can convert into, it is not something that anyone can judge you for save God. The Islamists are deluded and are paying the price of their ego and self-righteousness. They divide the world into believers and unbelievers/infidels (arabic: kafir).
To the Islamists out there:

1) Only god guides whom he wills; only God leaves people astray; Only God knows who the believers are.

2) You are nobody.

3) You change nothing.

There is no such thing as a “moderate Islam”. Islam is Islam. Islam according to all mainstream doctrines/sects will never inline with basic human values for the basic principle in monotheism highlighted above simply doesn’t exist. Islamists actually believe that they can “convert” people – by which they mean indoctrinate people into accepting their view of the world. God guiding people? Well that is not guidance…it’s indoctrination.

Islam is ultimately very humanitarian and libertarian if defined by the principles stipulated in the Quran. However, you must understand that those who call themselves “muslim” dont only follow the Quran – they follow 300+ year old oral history as well. This is where all your stoning and veiling and whatnot comes from.

Different “muslims” (eg sunni vs shia) have different collections of oral history and that’s why they are always fighting and can never reconcile. They will never stop believing in these oral history, myth, legend and lies for the simple reason that without it, Islam as a “religion”/doctrine doesnt exist.

The world of the people who call themselves “believers” (arabic: muslim) is in the dark ages.

Serves them right.

They have nobody to blame but themselves.
