After all, Christianity and Judaism have been reformed. But the apologists never get around to saying what the reform would be. There are many kinds of reform possible to Islam, but does anyone care if they reformed prayer by praying towards LA rather than Mecca? No. The only thing that kafirs care about is how Islam treats us. We want our treatment changed. We want political Islam reformed. Islam's treatment of us can be found in one word - kafir. The Koran says that a kafir (unbeliever) can be robbed, killed, tortured, mocked, insulted, beheaded, raped, crucified and on and on. The Hadith and the Sira agree with the Koran. Every single reference to the kafirs is negative, offensive and hateful. The word "kafir" illustrates both of political Islam's principles - submission and duality. The Trilogy (Koran, Sira and Hadith) says that every kafir in the world must submit to political Islam. The Koran also establishes dualism with its ethical system. A Muslim is not to kill another Muslim; a kafir may be killed, or not. A Muslim is not to lie to another Muslim; a kafir may be deceived or not. And so on. Islam has one set of ethics for Muslims and another set of ethics for the kafir - dualistic ethics. The later political Koran written in Medina frequently contradicts the early religious Koran written in Mecca. The Koran gives a rule for removing the contradiction by saying that the later Koran "abrogates" the early Koran. But the earlier Koran is still true; it was given by Allah. So in Islam both sides of a contradiction can be true. This gives Islam its dualistic logic. Our unitary logic says that if two things contradict, then one of them is false This dualism accounts for the two types of Muslims - the good Muslim at work and the Taliban Muslim. Both Muslims are "real" Muslims. Dualism gives the "good" Muslim plausible deniability when they say that jihadists are not "real" Islam. Dualism means the "good" Muslims and the jihadists are just two ends of the same stick. The Koran, Sira and Hadith are filled with demands for all kafirs to submit to Islam. Kafirs can submit by joining the religion or submit by being a dhimmi (an apologist). Either way, the Koran constantly demands that all kafirs submit to Islam. So what kafirs want to reform about Islam is its principles of political submission and duality. What principle can be used to reform Islam? The key is how Islam treats the "other" - the kafir. The Golden Rule tells us how the "other" is to be treated. Every culture in the world has the Golden Rule as part of its heritage. But not Islam. So what happens if we apply - treat others, as you want to be treated - to political Islam? All of the hurtful, hateful and harmful duality and submission disappear. What is amazing is how much of the Islamic doctrine goes away. About 61% of the Koran disappears. The Sira loses 75% of its words and 20% of the Hadith vanishes. And those figures are low. All of the abusive words about women would go away as well. So the above reductions would be even bigger. The Golden Rule even changes Hell. Islamic Hell is primarily political. Hell is mentioned 146 times in the Koran. Only 9 references are for moral failings - greed, lack of charity, love of worldly success. The other 137 references to Hell involve eternal torture for not agreeing that Mohammed is right. That is a political charge, not a morals failure. Thus 94% of the references to Hell are as a political prison for dissenters. The Golden Rule would empty the political prison. Think how wonderful a Golden Rule Islam would be. No arguments, demands, accusations, law suits, threats, pressure, hateful speech, killings, or bombings. A Muslim could even be a true friend to a kafir. Islam would develop a sense of shame and admit to the terrible suffering of the 270,000,000 kafirs killed in jihad. A Golden Rule Islam would ask forgiveness about all the suffering of the dhimmis. A Golden Rule Islam would also admit to running the slave trade in Africa by killing and capturing the slaves they sold to the white slave traders. Women would not have to be beaten and wear the hijab or burka. Honor killings would stop. Muslims could join us in the human race. But all of those wonderful thoughts vanish when you realize what else it would mean to Islam. Mohammed had only 150 followers in Mecca after preaching the religion for 13 years. But when he went to Medina and became a politician and warlord, he conquered all of Arabia in 9 years by averaging a violent event every 6 weeks. Duality and political submission were the principles that gave Islam its victory. Why would Islam drop the only principles that yielded success? Duality and political submission have crushed the world that believes in the Golden Rule. CSPI could produce a Koran, Sira and Hadith that would use the Golden Rule. It would be a thin volume, but what Muslim would buy it? - By Bill Warner Copyright (c) http://www.politicalislam.com/ Copy and use as needed, give us credit and don't edit. <http://www.politicalislam.com/blog/golden-rule-islam/> Original article <https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3503986435514614182-423974255 06949916?l=www.citizenwarrior.com> <http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/CitizenWarrior?a=4tkp6yNYF1M:iYUuc3WECj4:63 t7Ie-LG7Y> <http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/CitizenWarrior?a=4tkp6yNYF1M:iYUuc3WECj4:gI N9vFwOqvQ> <http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/CitizenWarrior?a=4tkp6yNYF1M:iYUuc3WECj4:V_ sGLiPBpWU> <http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/CitizenWarrior?a=4tkp6yNYF1M:iYUuc3WECj4:yI l2AUoC8zA> <http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/CitizenWarrior?a=4tkp6yNYF1M:iYUuc3WECj4:qj 6IDK7rITs> <http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/CitizenWarrior?a=4tkp6yNYF1M:iYUuc3WECj4:-B TjWOF_DHI> <http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/CitizenWarrior?a=4tkp6yNYF1M:iYUuc3WECj4:F7 zBnMyn0Lo> <http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/CitizenWarrior?a=4tkp6yNYF1M:iYUuc3WECj4:7Q 72WNTAKBA> <http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/CitizenWarrior?a=4tkp6yNYF1M:iYUuc3WECj4:l6 gmwiTKsz0> <http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/CitizenWarrior?a=4tkp6yNYF1M:iYUuc3WECj4:Tz evzKxY174> <http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/CitizenWarrior/~4/4tkp6yNYF1M?utm_source=fee dburner&utm_medium=email> [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ -------------------------- Want to discuss this topic?
