While I am writing this letter today, I don’t know how to describe my feelings. I do not know if I am sad, afraid, surprised, shocked or confused.

As you all know that because of producing a movie, “The Innocent Prophet”, on what I thought was the reality of Prophet Muhammad’s life, I was deemed a threat to the national security of Spain. As a result, the Spanish government revoked my refugee status, and currently I am on the risk of being deported to an Islamic country, where I will definitely be killed for blaspheming Islam and Prophet Muhammad.

Egypt warns giving women some rights could destroy society

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Egypt's ruling Muslim Brotherhood warns that a U.N. declaration on women's rights could destroy society by allowing a woman to travel, work and use contraception without her husband's approval and letting her control family spending.

The Islamist party of President Mohamed Mursi outlined 10 reasons why Muslim countries should "reject and condemn" the declaration. The Brotherhood, which was elected to power in June, posted the statement on its website, http://www.ikhwanweb.com/

The Muslim Brotherhood said the declaration would give "wives full rights to file legal complaints against husbands accusing them of rape or sexual harassment, obliging competent authorities to deal husbands punishments similar to those prescribed for raping or sexually harassing a stranger, give girls sexual freedom, legalize abortion, provide teenagers with contraceptives, give equality to women in marriage and require men and women to share duties such as child care and chores, equal rights to homosexuals, and provide protection and respect for prostitutes" and "equal rights to adulterous wives and illegitimate sons resulting from adulterous relationships."

Jesus had remarked, “A prophet is respected everywhere except in his home town and by his own family.” (Matthew 13:57) How Muhammad must be rolling in his own grave these days! The imam of the Grand Mosque in Mecca has launched an expansion program, which includes the demolition of the Ottoman and Abbasid sections of the Mosque as well as Muhammad’s birthplace, all dating back to the 7^th Century. In Medina, the masjid an-Nabawi (the Prophet’s mosque) could be destroyed, if expansion plans there are carried out. Anywhere else in the world, even a sarcastic remark about Muhammad could land someone in jail, but he gets no respect in his home town. A full report with photographs of the destruction can be found in article.

In a panel discussion at the German Ecumenical gathering (Church Day) on 2 June 2012, former German President Christian Wulff said, Islam is part of a modern, changing Germany and necessary to develop a vibrant society.

Finance minister of the state of Bavaria, Markus Söder, supported Wulff by saying that Islam is an "integral part of Bavaria”, while new President Joachim Gauck said, Muslims living in Germany are more definitively a part of the country than the religion of Islam.

I get too many requests for the electronic version of my book, "Islamic Jihad: A Legacy of Forced Conversion, Imperialism and Slavery". I'm placing the book online for the readers to access it with ease: ISLAMIC JIHAD

The invaluable blog Gates of Vienna, has translated the Die Welt interview of a thoughtful, courageous 22 year-old  Moroccan "apostate" from Islam, Kassim al-Ghasali.  Requisitely threatened with death because of his openly professed rejection of the Muslim creed, al-Ghasali fled Morocco in February, 2011, and now lives in exile in Switzerland.

The secret to the success of early Islam in Arabia in the 7th century is an “open tribe” system. I detail the basics of this concept in this article. A second article will follow on the same topic concentrating on the role of economics in this system.

Muhammad in Mecca: Muhammad started his mission quietly and peacefully although he himself was a very vindictive person - as attested by many incidents in his life that we can read about. However the start of his mission in Mecca was peaceful. The reason for that is a very natural one. He hardly had any followers. Those who followed him were mostly from lower class, some of the slaves and the poor. As his years in Mecca progressed, so did his insults to the polytheists' beliefs and practices.

Arabs before the dark age of Islam were tolerant people. This is a fact that history supports. Arabs had a multiplicity of religious beliefs that spanned a wide spectrum of monotheism and polytheism. The Arab culture was used to a multiplicity of religious practices – all of which Muhammad came to abhor. At the beginning, polytheists just did not pay much attention to Muhammad and his followers, but as Muhammad persisted in insulting their religions, they started paying him back in the same currency he dealt to them.

When Bangladesh, then East Pakistan, was engaged in a war of liberation from Pakistan in 1971, the Pakistani army and their local religio-nationalist Bengali collaborator Muslims, called Rajakars, termed the war as one orchestrated by the Hindus and their Munafiq (hypocrite) Muslim allies. As a result, Hindus became the primary target of killing, torture and violation in one of the most gruesome wars in history.

According to the Quran and sunna, there is great sawab and reward for living in the footsteps of our great prophet. The most repeated ayas in Quran are about obeying what Prophet ordered and following what Prophet did in life and how taking him as role model will land us in paradise. Since our prophet spent most of his final ten years of his life in   robbing, looting, raping  torturing and killing, those acts are the most  sacred and sawab yielding Islamic activities for us Muslims. That is the reason we have been doing those activities for the last 1400 years. However these acts have to be against infidels and bad Muslims (Mushriks), not good Muslims.

I was molded from my childhood as a practicing Muslim by my orthodox father. Starting from my childhood, I heard about Paradise and Hoor-e-een (Virgins) hundreds of times in their sermons of our Mullahs. As per the Islamic doctrine of Taqiya (deception), Mullahs conveniently forget to reveal the truth about the Hoor-e-een. From childhood to age 29, I was made to imagine the Hoor-e-een as the angels of God. I hope that most Muslims – especially the non-Arabs – consider the Hoor-e-een as I used to. It was my ‘Savior’ Ahmad Deedat, the well-known apologist of Islam, who opened my eyes.

At the International Socialist conference in Copenhagen in 1910, March 8 was declared the International Working Women’s Day (IWD), which is now observed as Women’s Day. The idea was proposed by Clara Zetkin, a Marxist, of the then Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD).

Battle for equal rights of women to hold public offices, their right to vocational training, and end to inequity in other areas was the goal. Since then, March 8 has been commemorated as the Women’s Day and is a national holiday in many countries. It symbolizes an age-old struggle of women of all ethnic, cultural and social backgrounds against the long-existing gender discriminations, further expanded by the Abrahamic religions from which Islam blatantly emanates misogynistic heritage.

Waves of Islamic fundamentalism have engulfed Russia. And Kremlin continues to woo the Islamists with Hamas among them.

Introductory Remarks

This article is about the Yamama battle and the preservation of the Qur’an. The early Muslims lost about 450 men who had memorized parts of the Qur’an. In fact, that battle pressed Omar to request a Qur’an collection orders from Abu Bakr, the first Muslim Khalifa. Abu Bakr took over the leadership of the Muslims after the death of Muhammad.

Present day Muslims have grand claims about preserving the Qur’an as it was revealed to Muhammad, letter by letter, and word by word. There are many scholars of Islam who showed that such a claim does not stand critical scrutiny. The current writer had a humble attempt in a three-part article that dealt with the collection of the Qur’an processes from the time of Muhammad until our present day Qur’an.

I was born and raised in a Sunni-Muslim family. I did not leave Islam all of a sudden. I was a firm believer until I started reading scientific,philosophical books-articles etc. I began questioning about God and his nature.

According to a report by the BBC, Mohammad Karrar, pedophile boyfriend of a 12-year-old girl, had used brutal assaults on her to prepare her for gang-rape by his friends and acquaintances.

The girl told the court that Mohammad Karrar, her boyfriend, used sex toys and numbing dental cream on her genitalia so that she can bear the pain of gang-rape by a group men, all Muslims, at an Oxford flat.

Dear Allah, Greeting

I am writing to you because I have to say I am disappointed in your final religion (so you say, but I can’t swear on it).

Assassination, or secret killing, is the most dreaded weapon to demolish an opposition or to silence critics. Authoritarian, fascist and fanatic regimes have historical used assassination with great effectiveness. Today, from Tunisia to Bangladesh, assassinations by Islamist fanatics have been terrorizing their secular and progressive opponents.

In Islam, assassination was one of the violent tools that Prophet Muhammad used in its founding days. Here’s a brief list of the Prophet’s assassinations:

As an apostate his mission is to raise the clarion call about the imminent and present danger of expansionistic theocratic Islam. Having witnessed first-hand the horrors and indignity that Islamofascism visits on people it subjugates, he have taken it upon himself to do his part in defeating this ideology of oppression, hate and violence.
