I am attacked frequently by Mohammedans on various blogs in which I post as being racist and an Islamophobe. I am not the former but I consider myself a proud member of the latter.
The Greek root of the “phobe” part of Islamophobe literally implies the fear of Islam. Mohammedans interpret it as the hatred of practicing Mohammedans. I think in neither fear nor hatred of Mohammedanism.
I relate Mohammedanism as an ideology like Communism is an ideology (though the Mohammedan ideology is theocratic and the Communist ideology is atheistic).
Both ideology are repressive and indoctrinate hatred toward their enemies even to the point of lying about their histories and the facts of their enemies’ history.
Concepts of individualism; Freedom of thought, choice and speech as well as Liberty are anathema in both Mohammedan and Communist ideologies. In a society or nation dominated by one or the other of these ideologies one can count on persecution, arrest or even death depending on how Freedom and Liberty was practiced by an individual and perceived by the State. Yes, even in Mohammedanism it is the State.
Anyway I say all that to lead into an essay by Azam Kamguian. If Mohammedans and Leftists think I am harsh in exposing the nature of Mohammedanism, this gal has me beat by a mile. One point of interest: I speak from the study of reading books of anti-Jihadist and anti-Islamists; Kamguian speaks from experience.

The Silent Holocaust: Why Westerners must react to ban Islam before it causes more bloodshed and misery

What you're going to read or watch here is not the entire truth. In no way can the atrocities of Islam be fully described with the words of any known language. It even goes beyond the description in the koran itself, which is the original blueprint of these atrocities. Reading this, or watching the videos of persecuted and terrorized Copts in their own countries, is like watching Muslims perform beheadings for the sake of their bloodthirsty allah in the comfort of your living room, while the reality is indescribable torture for the victims going through it. We have enough words to describe the animals world, but we're short on words for the followers of the biggest mass murderer in the history of mankind.
Like every satanic cult, Islam needs human sacrifices. If Western populations don't react to stop it and crush it, the map of the Western countries will be flooded by the color red, not of roses, but of the bloodshed of the thirsty demon of Islam.

Anyone who wants to understand Islam must change his way of thinking. Islam is not a religion for the mind, soul and heart of a man, but it presents an all-encompassing set of orders, theocentric society where all facets of life - child rearing, family life, economics, and politics - are focused on Allah. There is no separation between throne and altar, between politics and religion. In fact, mosques are the starting point for demonstrations and political upheaval. Friday sermons are not confined to the fostering of faith and spiritual life, but contain strong appeals to stir up the people for political conflicts, cursing Christians and Jews, calling for the death of whole western countries in the name of Allah. The ultimate aim is nothing less than the establishment of Allah's kingdom on our earth.
What I am going to talk about is Islam; contemporary Islam in Iran. I will describe some episodes of Islamic carnage and pass you briefly through what happened and is still happening in Iran. I will talk about those who have nurtured Islamic movements or have tried to justify Islam. I will conclude by emphasizing the urgency of achieving the victory of humanity over Islam and the practical steps that should be taken to achieve this.
The final decades of the 20th century witnessed another Holocaust - an Islamic one, in which millions have been and continue to be shot, decapitated and stoned to death; in which people have been slaughtered and displaced by Islamic states, political Islamic movements and Islamic terrorists in Iran, the Sudan, Afghanistan, Algeria, Egypt, Nigeria, Central Asia, and now in America. The robe, turban and Koran continue to victimize people. Any voice of dissent or freedom has been silenced on the spot. The oppression maintained by Islamic movements primarily takes the form of opposition to the freedom of women, by crushing women's civil liberties, by curtailing freedom of expression in the cultural and personal domains, by enforcing brutal laws and traditions, and by the mass killing of people from young children to the elderly.
Essentially, Islam is a set of beliefs and rules that militates against human prosperity, happiness, welfare, freedom, equality and knowledge. Islam and a full human life are contradictory concepts, opposed to each other. Islam under any kind of interpretation is and always has been a strong force against secularism, modernism, egalitarianism and women's rights. Political Islam, however, is a political movement that has come to the fore front against secular and progressive movements for liberation, and against cultural and intellectual advances. Violence and disregard for human dignity are inherent in the manifestos of political Islamic groups.
The very statement that an Islamic republic exists somewhere means that brutal violence exists within it.
After political Islam took power in Iran, creating an Islamic Republic, this movement came out of the margins in other Middle Eastern countries. It was in Iran that political Islam first organized itself into a government and thus turned into a considerable force in the region. In Iran, under an Islamic state, violence has had another dimension: one that is based on Islam. The very statement that an Islamic Republic exists somewhere means that brutal violence exists in it. The mere fact that people are forced to abide by laws based on something some god is believed to have said somewhere, or that some prophet said, itself represents a form of violence. If anyone protests against such laws, they are subject to punishment and suppression. Islam means the worst and the most ferocious kind of violence. Iran is the most transparent picture of what Islam is capable of. I will try to pass you briefly through this period of violence, atrocities, and misogyny - a bloodbath committed by Islam in power.
In Iran, I lived through thousands of days when Islam shed blood. Since 1979, a hundred thousand men, women and children have been executed in the name of Allah. I have lived through days when I, along with thousands of men and women throughout the country, looked for the names of our lovers, husbands, wives, friends, daughters, sons, colleagues and students in newspapers which daily announced the names of the executed. Days when the soldiers of Allah attacked bookstores and publishing houses and burned books. Days of armed attacks on universities, killing students all over the country. Weeks and months of bloody attacks on workers' strikes and demonstrations. Years of assassination of opponents inside and outside Iran. Years of suppression and brutal murder of atheists, freethinkers, socialists, trade union leaders and activists, Marxists, Bahais, women who resisted the misery of the hijab and the rule of sexual apartheid, and many others who were none of these, who were arrested in the streets and then executed simply because of their innocent non-Islamic appearance. And to the hundred thousand murdered in Iran must be added the millions who have died in Algeria, the Sudan, Egypt, Afghanistan, Pakistan and elsewhere. A silent holocaust about which the civilized world does nothing.
I, along with thousands of political prisoners, was tortured by order of the representative of Allah and Sharia; tortured, while the verses of the Koran about nonbelievers were played in the torture chambers. The voice reading the Koran was mixed with our cries of pain from lashes and other brutal forms of torture. They raped women political prisoners for the sake of Allah and in expectation of his reward. They prayed before raping them. Thousands were shot to death by execution squads while Koranic verses were recited. Prisoners were awakened every day at dawn to the sound of gunshots aimed at their friends and cell mates. From the numbers of shots you could work out how many had been murdered that day. The killing machine did not stop for a minute. The fathers and mothers, husbands and wives who received the bloody clothes of their loved ones had to pay for the bullets. They created an Islamic Auschwitz. Many of the best, the most passionate and progressive people were massacred. The dimensions of the horror are beyond imagining.
From that time, love, happiness, smiling, any free human interaction was forbidden. Islam took over completely. This is what happened to my generation. But it was not limited only to my generation, It had bloody consequences for our parents generation and for the next generation. During those years, millions of children were brainwashed and manipulated. The crimes committed by the Islamic Republic of Iran and political Islam in the region are comparable to the crimes committed by Fascism in the 1930s and early 1940s, and to the genocide in Rwanda and Indonesia.
Yet these are events that humanity around the world has been largely unaware of. A Holocaust which, if humanity knows of its dimensions and intensity, would certainly cause it to weep. With the downfall of such regimes, the world will be given an opportunity to know the truth - victims will speak out, prisons and torture chambers will be exposed, torturers will make heart-wrenching confessions, Islamic prosecutors and judges will reveal what they did to their victims behind prison walls. Then people all over the world will see what a despicable, and horribly unimaginable (for whoever not knowing Islam) phenomenon Islam is. They will finally find out the truth about those governments that backed the Islamic movements and the Western mainstream (accomplice) media that deliberately blocked people's access to the truth.
The aftermath of September 11 exposed a fraction of the reality of what is happening to people living under the constant terror of Islam. It exposed something of the tragedy that befell women under the Taliban. It revealed, to some extent, the true substance of Islam. But it became plain to see that this carnage is Islamic. It became evident that it is all about Islam.
When I came to the West in the beginning of the 1990s, I was faced by the fact that the majority of intellectuals, the mainstream media, the academic world, and many feminists, in the name of respecting other cultures and religions, were trying to justify Islam by dividing it into fundamentalist and moderate, progressive and reactionary, Medina's and Mecca's, folksy and non-folksy, poisonous and edible. For people like me, first-hand victims of the Islamic Holocaust, it was suffocating to listen to and to have to refute endless tales to justify this terror, atrocity and misogyny. Parallel to this Islamic carnage, western apologists for Islam try to divert people's righteous loathing for Islam and for the political Islamic movement, to limit it to a hatred of fundamentalism. They attempt to reduce the anti-Islamic struggle to anti-fundamentalism. They keep telling us that what we loathe is fundamentalism, not the 'true', the 'real' Islam. They pledge "reform in Islam" and the application of a "positive interpretation of the Koran" to women's rights by linguistic twisting. They raise the idea of Islamic feminism and try to attach a human face to the monstrous face of Islam against women.
The rights of freedom of expression, equality of men and women, and a secular state apply to people in the 'Third World' too. Isn't it shameful that we have to argue about it?
The truth should be spoken. We shouldn't let western apologists for Islam play with people's lives, and mislead their own populations any more. We should say clearly and loudly that it is all about Islam. What we have seen is the reality of Islam in power. The fact is that Western liberal and left-wing intellectuals feel guilty about past colonial history and are apologetic to the Third World. They consider the "Third World" a given entity, where people are keen to suffer under the rotten rules of Islam, where people are happy to be deprived of the achievements of human civilization in the 21st century. According to them, women desire sexual apartheid, girls love to be segregated from boys, and people hate civil rights and individual freedom. In their view, people are the allies of Islamic movements and Islamic governments. This is indeed a distorted image of the realities. This is an inverted colonialism. In this picture, people who are fighting for civil rights, secularism and against political Islam do not exist. This self-centered mentality in which everything should revolve around the guilt of Western pseudo-intellectuals is appalling. The rights of freedom of expression, equality of men and women, and a secular state apply to people in the "Third World" too. Isn't it shameful that we have to argue about it?
Contrary to this view, there is a fight going on - and it has been going on for over 28 years - between progressive movements in the Middle East and in the West on the one side, and political Islam on the other. The records of the daily struggle of people and the non-Islamic opposition in Islam-ridden countries, and the news of the daily resistance of the youth and women in Iran, demonstrate the reality of peoples' demands in the "Third World". Since 1979, Iranian society has changed dramatically and deeply. The movement for secularism and atheism, for modern ideas and culture, for individual freedom, for women's liberation and civil liberties has been widespread and deep. Disgust for Islam and the backward culture of those in power is immense.
Secularism must be defended actively and resolutely in Islam - ridden countries. Universal human and civil rights must be the standard. Secularism is not only realizable, but also, after the experiences of Iran, Afghanistan, the Sudan, Egypt and Algeria, is an urgent and pressing need and demand of the people of the region. The demand for secularism must push for absolute and complete separation of religion from the State; complete separation of religion from education; freedom of religion and atheism; laws free of religious content; and for religion to be declared the private affair of individuals. A conscious struggle must be conducted against the power of organised religion. Islam should be officially registered as a private enterprise, subject to regulations and laws.
To realize these ideals and demands, we need a massive joint force. Despite the struggles of the non-Islamic opposition in the Middle East and in the West in the past decades, all that has been visible has been occasional reports of the barbarity of Islam and the reactions of Western governments, media and "intellectual" apologists deceiver for Islam. But, there is a third force, a sleeping giant who can turn the situation around. If this giant awakes, this era could see the beginning of positive changes and the realization of ideals that were almost abandoned during the final decades of the 20th century. Humanity must rise up and defend itself against the barbarity of Islam.
The ranks of civilised humanity form a massive force that has, so far, sadly been silenced. It can come to the fore. For the future of humanity, it must come to the fore. If there is to be a future, it is in the formation of an active, progressive and freedom-loving policy at the forefront of the ranks of the people. Otherwise, the stage is left open to Islam terrorism and barbarism. I finish this with the hope that in the coming years of the 21st century, we will witness the victory of humanity, of humanism, over Islam. All freedom-lovers and secularist forces around the world should come together in a joint effort to combat Islam; to promote secularism, egalitarianism and freedom, in the societies that Islam oppresses.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, these videos are worth more than a PhD. in Islamic studies.
The world is holding its breath for Geert Wilders' koran movie, but these videos are no less effective in showing the applications, and the live realities resulting from the koran.
These are videos that the Egyptian government don't want the world to see. It shows the organized and official systematic persecution, terrorizing, and economic strangulation of the Copts in Egypt, and how government security officers even threaten to rape the young daughters of mothers that converted to Christianity.
It is also worth mentioning that most of these Copts, reduced to being garbage collectors, were forced to flee their lands and businesses in upper Egypt under the threat of being killed by radical Muslims acting with the complicity of the security apparatus, to steal Christians' properties as lawful booty, same as their prophet did with the Christians and the Jews of Arabia.
It is also important to remind the world that Copts were the people that had to pay the jeziah in order to stay as Christians. Which means that all Copts, including the ones you'll see in the videos were by definition, financially well off to be able to pay, until they reached the life you will now be witness of. Now you can see what it means in the koran 33:27, "And He made you heirs of their lands, their houses, and their goods, and of a land which ye had not frequented (before). And Allah has power over all things." This is one verse you won't need anyone to explain to you once you see the videos.
In Egypt Copts are being robbed point blank, their tax money is used to finance Al Azhar university, where no Christian is admitted but Muslims from all over the world are admitted for free, to build and finance hundreds of thousands of mosques (while Christians are not free to build one church with their own money, and in many places they have to conduct the mass on the street), to finance a dozen or more Islamic TV channels, payroll for hundreds of thousands of sheiks so they can insult and curse through mosque loudspeakers and on the air, at every prayer, those same Christians paying their salaries. These are just four items out of a list that is too long to mention here.
As for Western countries, the first thing a Muslim is briefed about by his co-religionists as soon he arrives (I know this first hand from every ex-Muslim), is how to plunder the social benefits. Just compare the percentage of Muslims in your Western country with their share of the social benefits, and you'll understand that you're being robbed too of your tax dollar. Or, as Muslims call it, they're making you pay the jeziah.
