This article is written in connection with Abdul Rahaman, who
rejected Islam for Christianity, his strong determination not to
give up under pressure and fear of death, his ultimate release and
the recent interest of Afghan Muslims in Christianity.
Ansarullah Mawlazezadah, Afghan trial judge had left no stones
unturned to prove that Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance.
He had given Abdul a chance to return to Islam and only be killed
if he refused. But Abdul refused to return back to slavery. Unlike
many other Muslims he knows the real meaning of freedom. Bible had
given him enough strength to stand alone against the Islamic
government of Afghanistan. Freedom is his birthright.
The Afghan bloodthirsty mullahs had tried their best to tear
"Rahman to pieces" but Allah could not fulfill their wishes as
international infidel pressure was too strong and Rahaman was too
determined to keep his faith. So he was declared mentally unfit to
stand trial. Reliable sources from Afghanistan indicate something
else -- Rahman was depressed, but surely not mentally unfit.
Well, I don't want to question the professional competency of the
medical doctor, let that be a secret, but it was the only way to
"get rid of the shame" of keeping a person like Rahaman alive.
After all because of people like him, Islam is in danger.
I
salute this enlightened man. He is a burning example for many
others, who are still in the slavery. This incident is like a
wake-up call for them.
His successful journey to Italy is not the end of the story. In
fact it is the beginning of the story. Today, many Afghan Muslims
have started showing interest in Christianity. Tomorrow they will
demand freedom, which is their birthright. A true religion makes a
soul free. Religious freedom is the basic minimum legal sanction
in a civilized society.
But unfortunately, Islam does not belong to that class. Like many
underworld criminal organization, the strength of Islam is based
on 'fear' and 'slavery'. If anyone wants to be free from this
slavery, then Islam takes it as an open challenge. Islam does not
want to honor their slaves with freedom. Like hardcore criminals
Islam will collapse and destroy itself but it will never reform.
Today, most of the underworld mafias control their business by
this way. They enslave people by instilling fear into their mind.
Fear is such, which cannot be removed from the mind so easily,
even after the cause of the fear is vanished. As example, take the
case of notorious underworld Muslim mafia leader from India,
Dawood Ibrahim. Dawood is notorious of his money extortion crime.
Presently this Muslim criminal is given shelter by Pakistan.
Today, he is just like a puppet in the hands of Pakistan
government. Rich businessmen, political leaders and movie actors
from India are still very afraid of him. Everybody knows that he
is powerless, everybody wants to say that but nobody wants to take
the first step. The fear factor works here - what may happen to me
if I underestimate him? What may happen to me, if
I wrongly imagine that Dawood is powerless?
Similarly a Muslim fears hellfire. He knows very well from the
very deep bottom of his mind that scientifically hellfire cannot
exist, but again the deep-rooted fear works wonder in his mind -
what may happen to me if hellfire is true, though there is no
proof?
Today what is required is critical evaluation and
healthy reasoning. Muslims have to remove the fear from their
mind. For this they need an open mind. Generally, common Muslims
are less educated than non-muslims. This is a big disadvantage.
Uneducated persons are more prone to superstitions.
With an open mind if the Muslims ask few questions
to themselves the truth will come out automatically. From the
Koran and hadith it is crystal clear that Muhammad was more like
an underworld criminal and less like a prophet. Prophet allowed
Muslims to tell lie for the advancement of Islam. Then how do you
know that the Prophet himself did not tell you lie for attracting
more followers?
If Koran and hadith is right then Prophet was a
hardcore criminal. If Prophet was the real messenger of God then
Koran and Hadith must be wrong, because the True God of mankind
cannot be so cruel and stupid (I mean the great Koranic
contradictions). Three pillars of Islam are Islamic god Allah,
the religious book Koran, and the messenger of Allah, ie,
Muhammad. It is like a three-legged table - just remove one leg
and the table cannot stand any more. By proper reasoning, it can
be proved that all three of them are wrong. Then where is the
credibility of Islam?
If everything is Allah-willing, then the
prosperity of nonmuslim western world is also Allah-willing, is
not it? If there are 1.2 billion people believe in Allah, then
there are about 5 billion people on this earth who does not bother
about Allah's blessings. The achievements of nonmuslims are more
than Muslims - this is also Allah-willing. So can we come to a
conclusion that Allah loves nonmuslims more than
Muslims?
Today Afghan mullahs are eager to tear "Rahman to pieces", but how
many of them had read the Afghan history? Till 10th
century Afghanistan was a Hindu nation. It is Afghans, who fought
hard against Muslim invaders and died in millions in the
battlefield to save their land. Do they know what the name of the
mountain range Hindukush stands for? Hindukush means Hindu
slaughter. This is the name given by the Muslim invaders to the
mountain range, which were close to the battlefields.
Many Afghan women and children during
those days were forced to slavery after the brutal murder of the
male members of their family.
With more and more questions like these are asked the bitter truth
about Islam will come out slowly. Islam will be exposed. Then
Islam will be a serious laughing matter to the Muslims themselves
and that will be first step towards freedom. Today all Muslims
should realize these facts. The sooner the better. Just take out
the fear from your mind and critically analyze the teachings of
Koran and Hadith. Ask few questions to yourself and search for the
answer. The hollowness if Islam will be crystal clear in front of
you.
Today media does not have the courage to tell the
truth. A reporter thinks, if I publish such
news, radical Muslims may attack my family or me, may be the
circulation of the newspaper will come down, may be I will
lose my job. The same fear factor works here.
But, I think this attitude is changing. In fact, I
think that it is the Islamic terrorists, who are actually showing
the real dirty face of Islam to the whole
world. After every suicide bomb blast, the educated people are
pointing directly towards the religion Islam,
itself -- instead of blaming the attackers.
I feel it is very much required. As an example, if a child
steals in the school, it is the parents of the
child who are most of the time blamed for
the wrong action of their children (look, what is the
fault of the child, his parents did not teach him
some moral values). This type of thinking
will help the peace loving Muslims to give a second thought about
their die-hard faith.
Today Islam is more like a 'business' and less
like a 'religion'. The mullahs sell 'the
blessings of Allah' and a 'secured position in Islamic
heaven'. Their asset is 'Allah, Muhammad and
Koran'. Based on these three, their business always gives good
profit. Their business ethics is exploitation (same as
life-insurance. here also 'fear of death' and the
'lucrative financial benefits after death' are two
motivating factors). If the fear factor is
taken out, both Islamic business and life-insurance business will
collapse. Tell an insurance agent that life is much safer
now -- he will strongly disagree, though he knows
that he is wrong. Tell a mullah that
hellfire and Islamic heaven with virgins and all those are
unscientific --- he will strongly disagree. Even he may
advice Muslims to harm you for the fear of losing
his business. Like mullahs, the life
insurance agents are very rich. Many people try to avoid them,
while many people want extra life
insurance. Same reason is applicable for Muslims.
Life insurance agents bark upon the same thing and always
pessimistic. They never see the good side of
lives. How many people are dying by road
accidents each year, they will always tell you the statistics, but
why they don't tell you that cars of today
are much safer than before and roads are
better? Moreover why they don't want to advice you that instead of
spending so much on life insurance, why not take
some extra precautions while driving or at
least while crossing the roads. In the same way, why not
the mullahs advice people to stay at the right
path and Islam (the way it is preached) is
not that right path. Why they do not tell common Muslims that
a hateful book like Koran cannot be from
the true god of mankind? Why they cannot
preach that another great prophet had said -- forgive them,
because they don't know what they are
doing?
They will run out of business if they do so. The
insurance agent thinks -- to hell with common people
as long as they insure their life with me. Same
way the mullahs think -- to hell with the common
innocent Muslims, as long as they like my
teachings and fill up my pocket by donating
handsomely in the mosque where I preach.
And, during this time, when the business seems to be going well;
some enlightened people like Abdul Rahaman surface from somewhere
and stand right on the way of this profitable business. Naturally
the mullahs are mad. Hence kill Abdul Rahaman and
other Muslims will learn from it - the business should run. If
more Muslims follow the path of Abdul Rahaman, there
is a loss of business in Mecca as 'hajj pilgrims
will also be less'.
Mullahs tell common Muslims to memorize Koran but
send their children to universities for higher studies. You do not
have to believe me, just check by yourself. You will be surprised.
While common Muslims are brainwashed for a suicide mission, tell
me, how many mullahs are ready to send their sons and daughters
for such an act.
Common Muslims can starve because 'everything is
Allah willing' and at the same time mullahs
have enough money to purchase the best house for him because again
'everything is Allah willing '. What
mullahs are doing today is nothing more than what their prophet
had done. Prophet Muhammad did not follow the Koran.
Mullahs promise common Muslims of Islamic heavenly
never-ending afterlife, but they want to enjoy heavenly pleasure
right now, here, on earth.
This is the pure Islamic business ethics. No
business can run on exploitation for longer
time. It is applicable for Islam also. That is the
time the mullah - monopoly will cease to exist and
nobody will be there to protect Islamic
business. Mullahs are the last keepers of Islam.
I
can see a silver lining in the dark cloud. Many more enlightened
Muslims like Abdul Rahaman will come out with time. In fact they
are struggling to come out from this bondage and slavery. They are
not small in number; also they are growing very fast. Only problem
is that they are not united. Most of the times their voices are
unheard by others. With the advancement of Internet, many more
organizations like FFI will appear and these ex-muslim groups will
be stronger and more united. They will get morale support and
strength from each other. The keepers of Islam will try their best
to stop this movement but in vain. A barrage of sand cannot stop a
devastating flood. 'Success belongs to those who dare to be
different'. That will be end of 1400 years old slavery and
injustice.
