the Quran

I can tell you that the first time I read the Quran, the Islamic holy book, I was shocked. I couldn't believe that this could be the work of a God. In the first few pages of the book I found God praising himself lavishly. To me it was unthinkable that God would do such a thing. Hell, any human being in his right mind wouldn't do that either. Then there are other passages in the "holy book" that are just not right, like the one telling Muslim men that they could beat their wives. I concluded that the Quran was obviously the work of a man, probably Muhammad himself.

But -- say the Muslims -- Muhammad couldn't possibly have written it because he was illiterate. That is a huge lie, for if one reads history one discovers that the man was able to read and write very well indeed.

I don't know when I stopped believing in Islam but I am happy that I did and I have no fear that I would be sent to burn in the fires of hell for it. When you come to think of it all religions are based on fear, fear of the punishment that would be meted out in the hereafter for disbelieving. Remove this fear and you free yourself from the nonsense.

sending the zionists packing

You would have noticed that while Venezuela and Bolivia cut off diplomatic relations with Israel, Egypt and Jordan did nothing of the sort. What does that tell you about the leaders of these two Arab states, who you would expect to be the first in line to support their fellow Arabs, the Palestinians?

Betrayed by their "brothers", the poor Palestinians have the odds stacked heavily against them in their just struggle to regain their land.

obama's inauguration speech.

Obama turned me off with his praise of the criminal Bush for serving the US. What other lies is Obama going to come with during his tenure as president? Can you imagine, the worst president of that country getting such a comment from a man who has promised to bring about radical changes?!
