First of all I would like to explain my extended leave of absence from the blog, as I was travelling and just returned Friday night. I just went down to Karachi for a week to see my parents and also to attend a distant cousin's wedding. She was very close to me at one time. But this time I was shocked to see the change in her. She has actually started wearing hijab because her to-be husband wanted her to do that. She did not even seem to mind, because she thinks that her husband is opening a door for her in heaven, since he will definitely be going there himself. The wedding was extremely simple, with no extravagant rituals, which is the norm in a typical Pakistani wedding. No music, no dancing, no nothing. Apparently, my cousin's in-laws think that it is a sin to perform any such ritual in a wedding, and that a wedding should be performed as per the Sunnah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I found it a little difficult to adjust in Karachi this time, and I just felt like packing my bags and flying back home every day. It is not easy to pretend being a Muslim among so many staunch and practising Muslims, but thankfully, I am not a very bad actress, even if I may say so myself. I carried out the act pretty convincingly. I even used to lay down the prayer mat on the floor and sit on it while humming a song to myself. LOL. Oh boy, I am so glad to be back to my normal life where I can be myself and of course back to writing my blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ever since I gave up Islam and became an apostate, my life is pretty simple, easy and enjoyable. I mean I can drink with friends without feeling guilty and I can have a normal love life without the fear of eternal hell fire. On one side, this cannot make up for the time lost, but at least I can make the most of what I have, the remaining few years of my life. I am not sure whether there is an eternal life or not, and perhaps this could be the only life that I ever get. That is why I want to be happy, as happy as I could get. I have lived enough in depression, guilt and fear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This evening, while I was having a stroll in the park, I ran into my good old Australian neighbors, a very delightful couple in their late 50's who were out with their dog for his daily walk. The last time I had bumped into them, I was a bit averse to dogs. Even though I had given up Islam few months ago, still I could not make myself touch a dog, I was just too paranoid. But today, I had this sudden urge to bend down and pat him, and I whispered into his ears, "I am sorry, Benny, I am so sorry for the way I have always treated you and hated you for no fault of yours". I felt sick to my stomach thinking how could I have hated such a lovely and friendly little animal just because some psychopath lunatic said so. I felt extremely ashamed of myself, and I felt as if Benny could see the remorse in my eyes because he actually gave me a friendly little bark which meant, It's all right, Shakila, I forgive you. Then I looked up at the old couple who were staring at me as if I had just french kissed their dog or something. It sure was a funny sight. I just can't stop laughing each time I think of that moment and the look on their face. But I have to admit, I do feel wonderful, as if I have made peace with all the dogs in the world. I was probably 12 years old when my Islamic Studies teacher told me that our prophet hated dogs and she even quoted a hadeeth saying Abdullah (b. Umar) reported: "Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) ordered the killing of dogs and we would send (men) in Medina and its corners and we did not spare any dog that we did not kill, so much so that we killed the dog that accompanied the wet she-camel belonging to the people of the desert." (Sahih Muslim, Book 010, Number 3811).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess many Muslims don't have the ability to think and I am really ashamed to admit that perhaps I was one of them too. Why else would I actually hate poor little innocent dogs just because I was told to do so? I guess it means that Muslims really do not have a mind of their own and are totally incapable of thinking rationally and logically, and those who actually dare to do so end up being like me. An Apostate of Islam.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4793384866525609075-7692592704261429007?l=liberatednow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/feeds/7692592704261429007/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/2012/02/mans-best-friend-or-foe.html#comment-form' title='23 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4793384866525609075/posts/default/7692592704261429007'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4793384866525609075/posts/default/7692592704261429007'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/2012/02/mans-best-friend-or-foe.html' title='A man&apos;s best friend or foe?'/><author><name>Liberated One</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12033054482768383889</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>23</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793384866525609075.post-8065118950750953367</id><published>2012-01-29T11:52:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-29T11:52:50.580-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Marriage and me</title><content type='html'>Each time I see a Muslim woman dressed up in the complete Islamic burqa with only her dead expressionless eyes piercing through the black face veil, I cannot but help feel extremely helpless and distressed. It breaks my heart to see a woman being treated worse than an animal. On top of that, they actually feel they are doing the right thing by subjugating themselves to the tyranny of their husbands or fathers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So many of my friends have been forcefully married off against their will to their cousins or other men chosen by their families. These women have been suffering for years and probably would stay in a loveless marriage for as long as they live, mainly because they do not have a a choice. Period.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have always been a very unconventional and progressive young woman with very radical views. My dad always said that he really pities the guy who will end up getting married to me. I guess my dad won't have to deal with that after all, since I am not anywhere close to getting married even at 35. I have always been a feminist as far as I can remember, and that is precisely why I could never imagine myself in a subservient role of a Muslim man's docile wife.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have had plenty of suitors in the past, but somehow it never worked out with any of them. At first, I thought it was my destiny, or rather, my misfortune, or maybe there was something wrong with me, or that I lack what a man essentially wants in a woman, but now I realize that it was a lack of compassion from their side and an absolute absence of sensitivity and social acumen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have been accused rather pointedly by several well-wishers on my blog why have I not been married and why didn't my family ever try to get fix me up in an arranged marriage. It is not that they did not try or that I did not get a proposal, but more often than not, the man always ran away in the opposite direction after just one meeting or conversation with me. The reason would always be the same. The girl is too liberal, open minded and blunt... Well, that is the way I have always been, free spirited, uninhibited and straightforward. If a man cannot handle me, then he is not a man enough, at least not for me. I could never see myself getting married to someone who has an unwritten prenuptial contract saying his wife should wear the hijab or that she should quit working and stay at home full time looking after his mom and dad. I have never listened to my parents, so how could a man expect me to submit to him?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a mind of my own and I always make my own decisions. Sometimes, a choice may not be favorable, but still it is my choice, and I sincerely believe that we learn from our mistakes. There is absolutely nothing that I have ever regretted in my life, and I hope that there never will be.....&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4793384866525609075-8065118950750953367?l=liberatednow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/feeds/8065118950750953367/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/2012/01/marriage-and-me.html#comment-form' title='110 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4793384866525609075/posts/default/8065118950750953367'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4793384866525609075/posts/default/8065118950750953367'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/2012/01/marriage-and-me.html' title='Marriage and me'/><author><name>Liberated One</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12033054482768383889</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>110</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793384866525609075.post-360094396722311919</id><published>2012-01-25T06:48:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-25T07:30:29.378-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The quest for a new God</title><content type='html'>I think I am having one of those writer's blocks these days... Don't know what's gotten into me, but I feel kind of depressed and extremely lonely these days, and today I just wanted to write about what I am going though instead of writing about Mohammed or Islam. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even when I am surrounded my thousands, I still feel so alone. I guess this is because I am living this dual existence which is killing me from inside. I have to pretend I am one of them when I am certainly not anymore. Sometimes I feel like crying out hysterically, while at others, I just want to laugh out loud. The other day I was sitting in our office cafeteria with a group of friends who were all laughing and gossiping, but I was sitting in a corner just smiling, while at the same time, my eyes were slightly damp with tears. I felt this sudden stab in my heart that these women who are supposed to be my friends and who say they love me actually just love me for what I am. If they found out that I am no longer one of them, they would hate me and would want to kill me. What kind of love is this? Not only them, I feel the same when I am with my family. I have realized that all these people, my friends, family and relatives, just love me for what I am. Everyone's love is so conditional. The truth hurts so much and the more I think of it, the more depressed I feel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am a good human being and I believe in God. I have never hurt anyone and I never intend to do, but still, why is this not enough? Why should an apostate of Islam be killed for leaving something he or she no longer believes in? Can anyone honestly tell me its fair?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once I realized that I am no longer a Muslim, I started searching for my new faith. My first choice was Christianity, for which I did a lot of research and reading, and even asked several questions to Robert, which he very kindly and patiently tried to answer. Then I started looking at Judaism, and for that I befriended a very sweet and kind Rabbi. I really bored him to death with my innumerable stupid questions, which he very kindly answered with lots of references. I am also checking out Hinduism and Buddhism these days. It is very strange and sort of funny that for 35 years I blindly followed a religion believing it would lead me to heaven and then one fine day, I find out that all that was just a facade and a false religion. Now that I am reading about other religions and comparing them with Islam, I feel they do make much more sense than Islam ever did, mainly because no other religion tell us to kill those who do not believe; but at the same time, no religion actually makes complete sense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I somehow feel every religion has its pros and cons, good and bad points. No religion is absolutely perfect, so I somehow feel it would be better if I just believe in one God and forget the rest. Or perhaps it is too soon to fall into another religion. Maybe I have lived far too long in this cult and it has made me a tad suspicious of everything and everyone. Perhaps I should just leave it for the time being, and then whenever I feel I am ready, I would find the true path that leads to God. I guess it would be safe to say that currently I am just an agnostic; it's safer to just leave it to that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can't help wondering how nice and peaceful the world would have been had there been no religion at all. Maybe all religions are just manmade. Every time and era had its own needs and requirements; that is why a new religion was created to gain control and power. Perhaps religion is nothing but a power game. If you carefully read all the religious literature, you would find most of the stuff mentioned does not really make much sense. It is a bunch of unbelievable fairy tales and a lot of allegories.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A hundred different questions, but no answer. This is getting more and more complicated, and, I have to admit, a little frustrating as well. I just can't help but think that perhaps I have opened a Pandora's box which has created havoc in my life. I have not slept peacefully for the last few months and don't know when will I find peace in my life again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One thing is for sure: that I do believe in God and I do not want to become an Atheist ever. I just hope that I am able to find him soon, for till then, the quest for a new God continues.....&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4793384866525609075-360094396722311919?l=liberatednow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/feeds/360094396722311919/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/2012/01/quest-for-new-god.html#comment-form' title='181 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4793384866525609075/posts/default/360094396722311919'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4793384866525609075/posts/default/360094396722311919'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/2012/01/quest-for-new-god.html' title='The quest for a new God'/><author><name>Liberated One</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12033054482768383889</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>181</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793384866525609075.post-4961588359329034944</id><published>2012-01-21T08:31:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-21T08:31:27.629-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Women In Islam</title><content type='html'>Hello, friends. First of all I apologize for being out of sight for nearly a week, as I had been really busy at work, and also had my parents visiting me and my brothers from Pakistan. While they were here staying with me, I could not but help feeling really sorry for them, especially my mother. She covers herself in that black garb and thinks that those women who do not are committing a major crime in the eyes of Allah and Mohammed and those women (actually an indirect insinuation in my direction) will surely be the fuel of the hell fire. I really feel so sorry for my mom and most of my Muslim friends who don the hijab and consider women like us not completely Muslim, and most of the Muslim men consider non-Muslim women and non-hijabi women as mere whores. Believe me when I say that no one suffers as much in this world as the Muslim women, in fact the mother of all believers Ayesha said the exact same words. Islam is heaven for Muslim men, but a hell for the believing women…. I know this and so does every Muslim women on the face of the earth, whether she lives in Pakistan or Iran or Afghanistan or Indonesia or Saudi or Algeria or Turkey…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Engaging in their own form of Stockholm Syndrome, most Muslim women publicly defend the very laws that enslave them. Like my mother, some of my friends and colleagues do. They actually justify the evil misogynistic rules of Islam and say it is for the betterment of the Muslim women. Many Muslims claim that “Islam honors women,” just as they claim that Islam is a “Religion of Peace.” The truth however, is just the opposite. Islam does not honor women, but rather, holds their very lives in absolute bondage. There is no age limit for marriage of girls under Sharia. A man can pay a dowry and sign a marriage contract with the parents of a toddler girl and consummate the marriage at age 9 just because their pedophiliac prophet Mo did that, and they think in doing that, they are just following the Sunnah. According to the Shariah, the adulterer will be stoned to death, but not many people are aware that this rule applies mostly for women, because men are allowed to have sex with their sex slaves and concubines. Even if a man and woman are caught having sex and four witnesses are also present, the punishment for women is digging up a hole and inserting her in up to her chest and then stoning her to death, whereas a man is just stoned while he is standing. And if he manages to escape, he is lucky, but a woman is not even allowed a chance to escape.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The right of divorce is solely in hands of the man, whereas the poor women do not have the right go give divorce, They can go to a Shariah court and ask for a Khul, which is like a divorce in which the woman has to give up all her alimony right, but then it takes a long time, sometimes years, to convince the judge to grant the woman a divorce. I know so many Arab ladies who are waiting for the last couple of years or more for the Shariah court to make their decisions regarding their Khul, whereas their ‘husbands’ have already married a second time and moved on with their lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A rebellious wife is one who refuses to go to bed with her husband, and this nullifies the husband’s obligation to support her and gives him permission to beat her. In fact, that misogynistic son of a bitch said: “A man will not be asked as to why he beat his wife." Such a bastard, I swear….&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have never read or heard of anyone more lustful than him.. Here are a few of his sexual escapades:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 33:51&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You may have whomever you desire; there is no blame."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tabari VIII:187&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The [sixty-two-year old] Messenger of Allah married Mulaykah. She was young and beautiful. One of the Prophet's wives came to her and said, 'Are you not ashamed to marry a man who killed your father during the day he conquered Mecca?" She therefore took refuge from him."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 66:1&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"O Prophet! Why forbid yourself that which Allah has made lawful to you? You seek to please your consorts."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 66:4&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If you (women) turn in repentance to him, it would be better. Your hearts have been impaired, for you desired (the ban) [on how many girls Muhammad could play with at a time]. But if you back each other up against (Muhammad), truly Allah is his protector, and Gabriel, and everyone who believes - and furthermore, the angels will back (him) up."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 66:5&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Maybe, if he divorces you (all), Allah will give him in exchange consorts better than you - submissive, faithful, obedient, adorers who worship, who travel, and are inclined to fasting - previously married or virgins."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tabari VIII:117&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Dihyah had asked the Messenger for Safiyah when the Prophet chose her for himself. Muhammad gave Dihyah her two cousins instead." Ishaq:511 "When he protested, wanting to keep Safiyah for himself, the Apostle traded for Safiyah by giving Dihyah her two cousins. The women of Khaybar were distributed among the Muslims."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bukhari:V5B59N524&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The Muslims said among themselves, 'Will Safiyah be one of the Prophet's wives or just a lady captive and one of his possessions?'"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tabari VIII:110&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"When Abu Sufyan learned that the Prophet had taken her, he said, 'That stallion's nose is not to be restrained!'"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bukhari:V4B52N143&lt;br /&gt;V5B59N523&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"When we reached Khaybar, Muhammad said that Allah had enabled him to conquer them. It was then that the beauty of Safiyah was described to him. Her husband had been killed [by Muhammad], so Allah's Apostle selected her for himself. He took her along with him till we reached a place where her menses were over and he took her for his wife, consummating his marriage to her, and forcing her to wear the veil.'"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tabari VIII:122&lt;br /&gt;Ishaq:515&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Muhammad commanded that Safiyah should be kept behind him and he threw his cloak over her. Thus the Muslims knew that he had chosen her for himself."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ishaq:517&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"When the Apostle took Safiyah on his way out of town, she was beautified and combed, putting her in a fitting state for the Messenger. The Apostle passed the night with her in his tent. Abu Ayyub, girt with his sword, guarded the Apostle, going round the tent until he saw him emerge in the morning. Abu said, 'I was afraid for you with this woman for you have killed her father, her husband, and her people."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 33:30&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"O Consorts of the Prophet! If...any of you are devout, obedient, and submissive in the service to Allah and His Messenger, and does good, to her shall We grant her reward twice. We have prepared for her a generously rich provision."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tabari IX:126&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The Messenger of Allah married fifteen women. He combined eleven at a time and left behind nine."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ishaq:311&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The Apostle saw Ummu'l when she was a baby crawling before his feet and said, 'If she grows up, I will marry her.' But he died before he was able to do so."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tabari VII:7&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The Prophet married Aisha in Mecca three years before the Hijrah, after the death of Khadija. At the time she was six." Ishaq:281 "When the Apostle came to Medina he was fifty-three."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tabari IX:128&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"When the Prophet married Aisha she very young and not yet ready for consummation."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bukhari:V9B87N139-40&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Allah's Apostle told Aisha, 'You were shown to me twice in my dreams [a.k.a. sexual fantasies]. I beheld a man or angel carrying you in a silken cloth. He said to me, "She is yours, so uncover her." And behold, it was you. I would then say to myself, "If this is from Allah, then it must happen."'"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tabari IX:131&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"My mother came to me while I was being swung on a swing between two branches and got me down. My nurse wiped my face with some water and started leading me. When I was at the door she stopped so I could catch my breath. I was then brought in while the Messenger was sitting on a bed in our house. My mother made me sit on his lap. Then the men and women got up and left. The Prophet consummated his marriage with me in my house when I was nine years old."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tabari IX:133&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Juwayriyyah was chosen by the Messenger for himself on the day of the Muraysi raid from the captives." "Muhammad married Umm, who had embraced Christianity."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tabari IX:134&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Muhammad took Zaynab [his daughter-in-law] but Allah did not find any fault in the [incestuous] relationship and ordered the marriage."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tabari IX:135&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"When the Prophet scrutinized the captives on the day of Khaybar, he threw his cloak over Safayah. Thus she was his chosen one." Tabari IX:139 "The Messenger married Ghaziyyah after the news of her beauty and skill had reached him."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tabari IX:137&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Allah granted Rayhanah of the [Jewish] Qurayza to His Messenger as booty [but only after she had been forced to watch him decapitate her father and brother, seen her mother hauled off to be raped, and her sisters sold into slavery]."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tabari IX:137&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Mariyah, a Copt slave, was presented to the Prophet. She was given to him by Muqawqis, the ruler of Alexandria."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tabari IX:138&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The Prophet married Aliyyah, a Bakr woman. He gave her gifts for divorce and left her. He also married Qutaylah, but he died before he could consummate the marriage."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tabari IX:139&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Layla approached the Prophet while his back was to the sun and clapped him on his shoulder. He asked her who it was and she replied, 'I am the daughter of one who competes with the wind. I am Layla. I have come to offer myself to you.' He replied, 'I accept.'" [Layla shared her story with her parents.] "They said, 'What a bad thing you have done! You are a self-respecting girl, but the Prophet is a womanizer.'"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tabari IX:147&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"A eunuch named Mubur was presented to Muhammad along with two slave girls. One he took as a concubine, the other he gave to Haasn."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ishaq:186&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"He took me into Paradise and there I saw a damsel with dark red lips. I asked her to whom she belonged, for she pleased me much when I saw her."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bukhari:V4B52N211&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I participated in a Ghazwa [raid] with the Prophet. I said, 'Apostle, I am a bridegroom.' He asked me whether I had married a virgin or matron. I answered, 'A matron.' He said, 'Why not a virgin who would have played with you? Then you could have played with her.' 'Apostle! My father was martyred and I have some young sisters, so I felt it not proper that I should marry a young girl as young as them.'"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tabari VIII:100&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The Messenger sent Hatib to Muqawqis, the ruler of Alexandria. Hatib delivered the letter of the Prophet, and Muqawqis gave Allah's Apostle four slave girls."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bukhari:V9B86N98&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The Prophet said, 'A virgin should not be married till she is asked for her consent.' 'O Apostle! How will the virgin express her consent?' He said, 'By remaining silent.'"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bukhari:V5B59N342&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Umar said, 'When my daughter Hafsa lost her husband in the battle of Badr, Allah's Apostle demanded her hand in marriage and I married her to him.'"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tabari VIII:1&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"In this year the Messenger married Zaynab bt. Jahsh [a first cousin: Allah's Messenger came to the house of Zayd bin [son of] Muhammad. Perhaps the Messenger missed him at that moment. Zaynab, Zayd's wife, rose to meet him. She was dressed only in a shift.... She jumped up eagerly and excited the admiration of Allah's Messenger, so that he turned away murmuring something that could scarcely be understood. However, he did say overtly, 'Glory be to Allah Almighty, who causes hearts to turn!' So Zayd went to Muhammad. 'Prophet, I have heard that you came to my house. Why didn't you go in? [Dad,] Perhaps Zaynab has excited your admiration, so I will leave her.'"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tabari VIII:4&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"One day Muhammad went out looking for Zayd. Now there was a covering of haircloth over the doorway, but the wind had lifted the covering so that the doorway was uncovered. Zaynab was in her chamber, undressed, and admiration for her entered the heart of the Prophet. After that Allah made her unattractive to Zayd.'"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tabari VIII:3&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Zayd left her, and she became free. While the Messenger of Allah was talking with Aisha, a fainting overcame him. When he was released from it, he smiled and said, 'Who will go to Zaynab to tell her the good news? Allah has married her to me.' Then the Prophet recited [Qur'an 33] to the end of the passage. Aisha said, 'I became very uneasy because of what we heard about her beauty and another thing, the loftiest of matters, what Allah had done for her by personally giving her to him in marriage. I said that she would boast of it over us.'"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 33:4&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Allah has not made your wives whom you divorce your mothers: nor has He made your adopted sons your sons. Such is (only) your (manner of) speech by your mouths."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 33:6&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The Prophet has a greater claim on the faithful than they have on themselves, and his wives are their mothers.... This is written in the Book."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 33:37&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You hid in your mind and your heart that which Allah was about to manifest: you feared the people, but it is more fitting that thou shouldst fear Allah. Then when Zayd had dissolved (his marriage) with her, with the necessary (formality), We gave her to you, joining her in marriage to you: in order that there may be no difficulty or sin for the Believers in the wives of their adopted sons, when the latter have dissolved with the necessary (formality) (their marriage) with them. And Allah's command must be fulfilled."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 33:38&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"There can be no difficulty, harm, or reproach to the Prophet in doing what Allah has ordained to him as a duty. It was the practice (approved) of Allah amongst those of old that have passed away. And the commandment of Allah is a decree determined. (It is the practice of those) who deliver the Messages of Allah, and fear Him. Allah keeps good account. Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but (he is) the Messenger of Allah, and the Last of the Prophets with the Seal: and Allah has full knowledge of all things."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 33:48&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"And obey not (the behests) of the Unbelievers and the Hypocrites. Disregard their noxious talk and heed not their annoyances, but put thy trust in Allah. For enough is Allah as a Disposer of affairs."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 33:50&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"O Prophet! We have made lawful to you all the wives to whom you have paid dowers; and those whom your hands possess out of the prisoners of war spoils whom Allah has assigned to you; and daughters of your paternal uncles and aunts, and daughters of your uncles and aunts, who migrated with you; and any believing woman if the Prophet wishes her; this is a privilege for you only, and not for the rest of the Believers; We know what We have appointed for them as to their wives and the captives whom they possess; in order that there should be no difficulty for you and that you should be free from blame."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 33:51&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You may put off whom you please, and you may take to you whomever you desire. You may defer any of them you please, and you may have whomever you desire; there is no blame on you if you invite one who you had set aside. It is no sin."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 33:28&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"O Prophet, say to your wives and consorts: 'If you desire this world's life and its glittering adornment, then come! I will provide them for your enjoyment and set you free in a handsome manner. And if you desire Allah and His Messenger and the latter abode, then lo! Allah hath prepared for the good-doers an immense reward."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 33:30&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"O Consorts of the Prophet! If any of you are guilty of unseemly conduct, shamelessness, or lewdness, the punishment will be doubled, and that is easy for Allah. But any of you that is devout, obedient, and submissive in the service to Allah and His Messenger, and does good, to her shall We grant her reward twice. We have prepared for her a generously rich provision."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 33:32&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Consorts of the Prophet! You are not like any of the (other) women. Fear and keep your duty, lest one in whose heart is a disease should be moved with desire. Stay quietly in your apartment. Make not a dazzling display like that of the former times of Ignorance. Perform the devotion, pay the zakat; and obey Allah and His Messenger. And Allah wishes to cleanse you with a thorough cleansing. And bear in mind that which is recited in your houses of the revelations of Allah and the wisdom."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 33:36&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It is not fitting for a Muslim man or woman to have any choice in their affairs when a matter has been decided for them by Allah and His Messenger. They have no option. If any one disobeys Allah and His Messenger, he is indeed on a wrong Path."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 4:23&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Prohibited to you are: your mothers, daughters, sisters.... Also (prohibited are) women already married, except slaves who are captives." [Rape is okay with Team Islam.]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bukhari:V5B59N459&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I entered the Mosque, saw Abu, sat beside him and asked about sex. Abu Said said, 'We went out with Allah's Apostle and we received female slaves from among the captives. We desired women and we loved to do coitus interruptus.'"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So you see, the so-called Holy Prophet of Islam is nothing but a sick, perverted sex maniac, a pedophiliac misogynist, and a heartless creature who had absolutely no sense of morals or ethics. He was a self-proclaimed prophet who wanted nothing but power and pussies. That is all he was interested in, and yes, a lot of booty as well… Now if any Muslim person has anything to say in his defense, I would be more than happy to read it. So come on, Slave of Allah, Anj and Skouti. I am all ears. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have a great weekend, everyone.

In fact, if he lived today, he would have been any physician’s nightmare…Do you have any idea the number of Phobias and Compulsive disorders that Mo suffered from? Here is my own psychoanalysis of the world's most influential person: Mohammed, the prophet of Islam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A short list of his phobias:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Alliumphobia&lt;/i&gt; - Fear of garlic…. Hence the hadeeth which says that men should not go to the mosque to pray after eating garlic (and here we were all assuming he was a vampire).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Aurophobia&lt;/i&gt; - Fear of gold…Ha! Now we know why men are not supposed to wear gold in Islam. I wonder there is a phobia of silk as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Automysophobia&lt;/i&gt; - Fear of being dirty…..Ok, that explains the obsession of bathing, wiping your ass, shaving your armpits and pubic area and making wudu 5 times a day. And yes, bathing after sex.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Aviophobia or Aviatophobia&lt;/i&gt; - Fear of flying…..Hence the nightmare in which he flew on a donkey/mule to heaven.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Bibliophobia&lt;/i&gt; - Fear of books....Probably why he never learnt to read and write, even after he supposedly received divine inspiration. Come on, he had 23 years and he would not learn to read and write. Quite simply, he had a fear of books.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Catagelophobia&lt;/i&gt; - Fear of being ridiculed….That explains why people were killed and are still being killed if they even dare to ridicule him – Blasphemy laws, aka Catagelophobia….&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Cynophobia&lt;/i&gt; - Fear of dogs…. Now this is really cruel. He commanded to kill all the poor innocent dogs, especially the black ones, because they are actually the devil….?????&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Demonophobia or Daemonophobia&lt;/i&gt; - Fear of demons AND &lt;i&gt;Wiccaphobia&lt;/i&gt; - Fear of witches and witchcraft….This precisely explains his acute fear of genies and goblins and witches and evil spirits, and the suras about jinns, black magic, evil eye and demons and God knows what….Are we really talking about an adult male here????&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Geliophobia&lt;/i&gt; - Fear of laughter….He almost never laughed and told his followers that laughing loudly is the work of Satan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Christianophobia&lt;/i&gt; - fear/dislike of Christians AND &lt;i&gt;Judeophobia&lt;/i&gt; – fear/dislike of Jews. No explanation required… LOL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Gynephobia or Gynophobia&lt;/i&gt; - Fear of women…. Hence the hadeeth saying that majority of the residents of hell would be women….&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Hadephobia&lt;/i&gt; - Fear of hell….Yeah, we all know that. There is no doubt that he was totally obsessed with it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Homophobia&lt;/i&gt; - Fear of sameness, monotony or of homosexuality, or of becoming homosexual….He probably feared them to death. That is why ordered all homosexuals to be killed. Makes perfect sense, doesn’t it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Levophobia&lt;/i&gt; - Fear of things to the left side of the body AND &lt;i&gt;Sinistrophobia&lt;/i&gt; - Fear of things to the left or left-handed.…. Now this is a very interesting one. I always used to wonder why Islam is so particular about it. Walk into a mosque with your right foot, eat with your right hand, and pass the plate to the right side first… Do everything with your right hand except wiping your butt after defecating….&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Melanophobia&lt;/i&gt; - Fear of the color black….So now you know why on the judgment day, all the sinners’ faces would turn black and the pious ones’ would be white. He often made fun of the black slaves, and even compared them to raisin heads...He even ordered to kill all black dogs and said even the black cats are evil…Call it whatever, but I call it racism…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Melophobia&lt;/i&gt; - Fear or hatred of music….You must be kidding me? And the poor people have been depriving themselves of music for the last 14 centuries because MO said it's haram and the work of Satan…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Menophobia&lt;/i&gt; - Fear of menstruation….He said it is a disease from God for all women. It explains his hatred for menstruation and also for women.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Methyphobia&lt;/i&gt; - Fear of alcohol…My guess is he feared alcohol and made it haram just because he wanted to control the minds of all Muslim men and women. If alcohol was permitted, it would have controlled their minds instead. He wanted the fear of hell, the goal of heaven and the aim to get there (Jihad) to be on their minds 24x7, and he feared that intoxication might make them forget their mission momentarily. … See, I always said he was a smart SOB….&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Nyctophobia&lt;/i&gt; - Fear of the dark or of night AND &lt;i&gt;Nyctohylophobia&lt;/i&gt; - Fear of dark wooded areas or of forests at night….. That is why he made up that cock &amp;amp; bull story about jinns and demons roaming around in such places….&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Pyrophobia&lt;/i&gt; - Fear of fire….Or rather, obsession with fire and hell…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Satanophobia&lt;/i&gt; - Fear of Satan….Yeah, he feared him so much that he actually believed Satan put verses in his mouth…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Urophobia&lt;/i&gt; - Fear of urine or urinating….Aha.. Now I get it, the meaning of that hadeeth in which he passed by a grave and said the person in this grave is being tormented because he was very careless with his urine, that is, he did not clean himself well after urinating….&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gosh, this man is getting more and more complicated, isn’t he? Ok, enough with the phobias. Now let’s dwell on his OCD – Obsessive Compulsive Disorder….&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Catapedamania&lt;/i&gt; - Obsession with jumping from high places .... Remember, he wanted to jump off the cliff several times when he supposedly saw and spoke to Gabrael.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Dacnomania&lt;/i&gt; - Obsession with killing. Come on, you don't really need an explanation for this one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Entheomania&lt;/i&gt; - Abnormal belief that one is divinely inspired ..... In other words, having a very vivid imagination.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Erotomania&lt;/i&gt; - Abnormally powerful sex drive .... 13 wives, innumerable sex slaves / concubines. And don't forget, he used to have sex with all of them in one night....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Flagellomania &lt;/i&gt;- Abnormal enthusiasm for flogging....&amp;nbsp; 100 lashes for adultery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Gamomania&lt;/i&gt; - Obsession with issuing odd marriage proposals .... Yeah, odd, as in proposing that his son divorce his wife so that he can get married to his daughter in-law, and REALLY ODD, marrying his best friend’s six year old baby girl when he was 53 years old… You can’t get any odder than that, MO.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Gynaecomania&lt;/i&gt; - Abnormal sexual obsession with women.... I think everyone everyone is aware about this abnormality, because there absolutely nothing normal about having sex with 9 women in one night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Arithmomania&lt;/i&gt; - Obsessive preoccupation with numbers.... 5 prayers, 3 times washing your hands and face while making ablution. Saying his praise 33 times each after each prayer. 7 circumambulations around the Kaaba. 7 times safa marwa... Reading ayatal kursi 7 times. Cleaning your butt with an odd number of stones. Drinking water in 3 gulps. Spitting three times on seeing a bad dream. There are so many such eccentricities associated with numbers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Mythomania&lt;/i&gt; - Lying or exaggerating to an abnormal extent... Oh yes, our MO takes all awards for this category. No one could lie and exaggerate better than he could. He should definitely get the Oscars for best story writing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Necromania&lt;/i&gt; - Sexual obsession with dead bodies; necrophilia.... Didn’t he sleep with his dead aunt once? This guy is getting creepier by the day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Opsomania&lt;/i&gt; - Abnormal love for one kind of food.... Dates, dates and dates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Phonomania&lt;/i&gt; - Pathological tendency to murder... But in this case, not just murder, but murder by torture...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Polemomania&lt;/i&gt; - Mania for war.... Wars, battles, raids, whatever you call them, but our bandit MO sure had a penchant for those....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Pyromania &lt;/i&gt;- Craze for starting fires.... Yeah, he sure had a thing for setting fires. He once said that he wished he could set all those houses on fire whose residents did not show up at the mosque to pray. And if I remember correctly, he once set a mosque on fire and burnt everyone inside alive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Sebastomania&lt;/i&gt; - Religious insanity.... Well, this kind of insanity still exists in most of Mo's followers for the past 14 centuries...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I guess it would be safe to say that had MO not been there, probably these mental disorders would not even have been discovered. The science of Psychiatry is highly indebted to Mohammed, the prophet of Islam, for giving them so much of study material. How about setting up a mental asylum in his name???&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4793384866525609075-390394184557078174?l=liberatednow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/feeds/390394184557078174/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/2012/01/psychoanalyis-of-mo.html#comment-form' title='109 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4793384866525609075/posts/default/390394184557078174'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4793384866525609075/posts/default/390394184557078174'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/2012/01/psychoanalyis-of-mo.html' title='A Psychoanalysis of MO'/><author><name>Liberated One</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12033054482768383889</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>109</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793384866525609075.post-3144937877829744978</id><published>2012-01-11T07:42:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-11T07:42:17.311-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Believe or die...</title><content type='html'>Galileo very wisely and accurately said, “I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.” But then the Quran (oops, I mean the self proclaimed prophet MO) says, “O ye who believe! Ask not questions about things which, if made plain to you, may cause you trouble. But if ye ask about things when the Qur'an is being revealed, they will be made plain to you, Allah will forgive those: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Forbearing. Some people before you did ask such questions, and on that account lost their faith.” Whether you like it or not, but one has to give him full credit for being the smartest man on the face of the earth, or rather in history. He actually managed to make people stick to his illogical, senseless, cruel, evil cult centuries after his death. Why do you think Islam is widely spread?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the Quran and Hadeeth, a Murtad (apostate) is a person who leaves Islam openly, whereas a Munafiq (hypocrite) is someone who pretends to be a Muslim when he is not one anymore. Why would anyone pretend to be a Muslim when is not one anymore? Obviously because he loves life more than death, unlike the so called Jihads who claim to love just the opposite. In Quran 3:90-91 it says, “Lo! Those who disbelieve after their (profession of) belief, and afterward grow violent in disbelief: their repentance will not be accepted. And such are those who are astray. Lo! Those who disbelieve, and die in disbelief, the (whole) earth full of gold would not be accepted from such a one if it were offered as a ransom (for his soul). Theirs will be a painful doom and they will have no helpers.” Quran 4:89: “They long that ye should disbelieve even as they disbelieve, that ye may be upon a level (with them). So choose not friends from them till they forsake their homes in the way of Allah; if they turn back (to enmity) then take them and kill them wherever ye find them, and choose neither friend nor helper from among them.” Quran 5:54: “O ye who believe! if any from among you turn back from his Faith, soon will Allah produce a people whom He will love as they will love Him,- lowly with the believers, mighty against the rejecters, fighting in the way of Allah, and never afraid of the reproaches of such as find fault. That is the grace of Allah, which He will bestow on whom He pleases. And Allah encompassed all, and He knoweth all things.” Quran 9:66: “Make ye no excuses: ye have rejected Faith after ye had accepted it. If we pardon some of you, we will punish others amongst you, for that they are in sin.” Quran 9:73-74: “O Prophet! Strive against the disbelievers and the hypocrites! Be harsh with them. Their ultimate abode is hell, a hapless journey's end. They swear by Allah that they said nothing (wrong), yet they did say the word of disbelief, and did disbelieve after their Surrender (to Allah). And they purposed that which they could not attain, and they sought revenge only that Allah by His messenger should enrich them of His bounty. If they repent it will be better for them; and if they turn away, Allah will afflict them with a painful doom in the world and the Hereafter, and they have no protecting friend nor helper in the earth.” Quran 88:21-24: “Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. You are not a watcher over them; but whoever turns back and disbelieves, Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Quran does not say clearly whether the apostate should be killed or spared, but as we all know, whatever the Quran lacked, the hadeeth more or less makes up for it. According to Sahih Bukhari (4:52:260): “Narrated Ikrima: Ali burnt some people and this news reached Ibn 'Abbas, who said, "Had I been in his place I would not have burnt them, as the Prophet said, 'don’t punish (anybody) with Allah's Punishment.' No doubt, I would have killed them, for the Prophet said, 'If somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him.' Sahih Bukhari (9:83:17): “Narrated 'Abdullah: Allah's Apostle said, "The blood of a Muslim who confesses that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that I am His Apostle, cannot be shed except in three cases: In Qisas for murder, a married person who commits illegal sexual intercourse and the one who reverts from Islam (apostate) and leaves the Muslims."&amp;nbsp; Sahih Bukhari (9:89:271): Narrated Abu Musa: A man embraced Islam and then reverted back to Judaism. Mu'adh bin Jabal came and saw the man with Abu Musa. Mu'adh asked, "What is wrong with this (man)?" Abu Musa replied, "He embraced Islam and then reverted back to Judaism." Mu'adh said, "I will not sit down unless you kill him (as it is) the verdict of Allah and His Apostle.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These and many other similar hadeeths from various sources prove beyond any doubt that the Islamic Shariah punishment for apostasy is execution. This is precisely the reason why I have to hide my apostasy for the rest of my life and I have to keep on pretending to be a Muslim among other Muslims. Trust me, it is not an easy task, especially since I am not a Muslim anymore and I do not agree with anything which Islam says. It was pretty difficult being a practicing Muslim for the last 35 years, but now it is even harder. Some of my well wishers here on my blog suggested that I speak to my family about my apostasy and take their advice, but little do they know that my parents love their religion, especially their ideal perfect human being, the prophet of Islam Mohammed, more than they love their own daughter. They would not even think twice before disowning me for life, that is, if they do not kill me first in a fit of rage, which is pretty likely, come to think of it. I say this because once a couple of years ago, when I was pretty much a Muslim, I was reading “Infidel” by Ayaan Hirsi Ali when my mother caught me reading it. She just read the introduction and got mad at me for even reading such a book. She said if any of my children did such a thing, I would kill her/him and then report myself to the police, I won’t mind even going to prison for such a crime because this is something which Allah and his prophet has ordered us to do. These were her very own words, so there is no way I can confide about my apostasy to anyone, especially my parents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It means that I have two options... Either I should remain a closeted apostate for the rest of my life so that I don’t have to lose my loved ones, or I should just move to a western country and ask for asylum. It is probably the most difficult decision of my life, and so far I have not been able to come to any conclusion. The question that really baffles me is how anyone in their right senses could actually believe in Islam; it is the most illogical religion in the world. In fact, whenever I think of those 35 years I lived as a believing Muslim, I cannot but help feel anger, acute anger at Mohammed, the system, the society, and my family for making me follow something so sinister and evil, but most of all, I feel angry at myself for being such a fool. I mean, I always prided myself for being smart, educated, intelligent, intellectual and worldly, so how could I be so blind? I feel so angry sometimes that I actually contemplate suicide, because nothing in this world makes sense anymore. If the core of my belief was false, then is anything really true? I still get panic attacks and nightmares. I feel like crying all the time and I feel so alienated from my friends and family. The only solace in my otherwise meaningless existence is my blog, because I have so many friends and well wishers who love and support me in what I am doing. It helps me drag myself out of bed every morning. It really has given a new dimension to my life, and I just hope that it keeps on inspiring me in the future as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my next blog, I will write about why Muslim men are so happy being Muslims, and how this religion caters to all their whims and fancies. It is totally a misogynistic doctrine which is a living nightmare for women. Till then, please keep on reading and commenting… Love you all…&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4793384866525609075-3144937877829744978?l=liberatednow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/feeds/3144937877829744978/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/2012/01/believe-or-die.html#comment-form' title='191 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4793384866525609075/posts/default/3144937877829744978'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4793384866525609075/posts/default/3144937877829744978'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/2012/01/believe-or-die.html' title='Believe or die...'/><author><name>Liberated One</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12033054482768383889</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>191</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793384866525609075.post-830862847093219359</id><published>2012-01-08T17:53:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-08T18:09:11.970-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Why do Muslims despise Jews so much?</title><content type='html'>According to the Merriam Webster online dictionary, the term ‘Zionist’ is defined as “An international movement originally for the establishment of a Jewish national or religious community in Palestine and later for the support of modern Israel”. So when I said in my last post that I have always been a Zionist, I meant that I have always supported Israel and the Jews, and I am sure my statement was pretty clear. Then where did this come from?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;Kai56 | January 6, 2012 8:54 PM | Reply&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;come on you have got to be kidding me&lt;br /&gt;jew and zionist not same thing you dumb bitch&lt;/blockquote&gt;What do you mean by that, Kai56? Can you please be more specific why you rendered me with such delightful adjectives?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have an Egyptian colleague who recently went on a trip to Europe with his family. During one of the train journeys, his 7-year-old daughter got friendly with a similar aged American girl on the train, and then both the parents also introduced themselves since they had a few hours more to go. After a few minutes of casual conversation, my colleague found out that they were Jewish Americans. According to his own admission, he said “Shakila, as soon as I found out that they were Jewish, I had this sudden urge to push them all out of the train”. To say that I was shocked beyond belief is an understatement. I just asked him, “Why, Ahmed? Were they not nice people?” To that he replied: “They seemed nice in the beginning before I found out their true identity, but once I did, I just could continue making idle conversation with them, nor could I let my daughter play with their girl, so I just pulled my wife and kids away from them and moved to a different compartment of the train.” So as you can see, this is the kind of hatred that many Muslims, especially Arabs, harbor in their hearts against the Jews. Why do they despise them so much that they don’t even recognize them as human beings? Well, of course, the answer lies in the book of all evils, the Holy Quran… Here is a snapshot of what the revered &amp;amp; sacred book of the Muslims says about their worst enemies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;Qur'an 2:61&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Humiliation and wretchedness were stamped on the Jews and they were visited with Allah's wrath."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 4:44&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Have you not considered those to whom a portion of the Book has been given? They traffic in error and desire that you should go astray. But Allah has full knowledge of your enemies. Of the Jews there are those who displace words from their (right) places, saying, 'We hear and we disobey' with a twist of their tongues they slander Faith.... Allah has cursed them for disbelief."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 4:47&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"O you People of the Book to whom the Scripture has been given, believe in what We have (now) revealed, confirming and verifying what was possessed by you, before We destroy your faces beyond all recognition, turning you on your backs, and curse you as We cursed the Sabbath-breakers, for the decision of Allah Must be executed."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 4:160&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"For the iniquity of the Jews We made unlawful for them certain (foods) in that they hindered many from Allah's Way, that they took usury, though they were forbidden, and that they devoured men's wealth on false pretenses, We have prepared for those among them who reject [Islamic] Faith a painful doom."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 5:59&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Say: 'People of the Book! Do you disapprove of us for no other reason than that we believe in Allah, and the revelation that has come to us and that which came before?' Say: 'Shall I point out to you something much worse than this by the treatment it received from Allah? Those who incurred the curse of Allah and His wrath, those of whom He transformed into apes and swine."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 2:64&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"But you [Jews] went back on your word and were lost losers. So become apes, despised and hated. We made an example out of you."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 33:26&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Allah made the Jews leave their homes by terrorizing them so that you killed some and made many captive. And He made you inherit their lands, their homes, and their wealth. He gave you a country you had not traver&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 59:14&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The Jews are devoid of sense. There is a grievous punishment awaiting them. Satan tells them not to believe so they will end up in Hell."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 4:55&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Sufficient for the Jew is the Flaming Fire!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 88:1&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Has the narration reached you of the overwhelming (calamity)? Some faces (all disbelievers, Jews and Christians) that Day, will be humiliated, downcast, scorched by the burning fire, while they are made to drink from a boiling hot spring."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 59:14&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"They [Jews] will not fight against you save in fortified townships. Their hostility and hatred amongst themselves is strong: you would think they were united, but their hearts they are divided. That is because these [Jews] are a people devoid of sense."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 5:13&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"But because of their breach of their covenant We cursed the Jews, and made their hearts grow hard. They change the words from their (right) places [the illiterate prophet pronounced] and forget and abandon a good part of the message that was sent them. Nor will you cease to find deceit in them. And because of their breaking their covenant We have cursed them. They altered words from their context and they neglected a portion of the message they were reminded of."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 5:41&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Or it be among the Jews, men who will listen to any lie. They change the context of the words from their (right) times and places.... For them there is disgrace in this world, and in the Hereafter a heavy punishment.""&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 5:42&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"They are fond of listening to falsehood, of devouring anything forbidden; they are greedy for illicit gain!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 5:44&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It was We who revealed the Torah. By its standard the prophets judged the Jews, and the prophets bowed (in Islam) to Allah's will, surrendering. For the rabbis and priests: to them was entrusted the protection of Allah's Scripture Book; they were witnesses of it. Therefore fear not men, but fear Me, and sell not My revelations for a miserable price."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 5:64&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The Jews say: 'Allah's hands are fettered.' Be their hands tied up and be they accursed for the blasphemy they utter. Nay, both His hands are widely outstretched, giving [Muslims Jewish booty] as He pleases. Amongst them we have placed enmity and hatred till the Day of Doom. Every time they kindle the fire of war, Allah does extinguish it. But they strive to do mischief on earth."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 98:1&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Those among the People of the Book, who disbelieve and are idolaters, would never have been freed from their false religion if the Clear Proofs had not come to them. An Apostle of Allah came reading out of hallowed pages.... They were commanded to serve Allah exclusively, fulfilling their devotional obligations, and paying the zakat. Surely the unbelievers and idolaters from the People of the Book will abide in the Fire of Hell. They are the worst of creatures."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 5:78&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Curses were pronounced on the unbelievers, the Children of Israel who rejected Islam, by the tongues of David and of Jesus because they disobeyed and rebelled."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 5:80&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You see many of them allying themselves with the unbelieving infidels. Vile indeed are their souls. Allah's wrath is on them, and in torment will they abide."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 5:81&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If only they had believed in Allah, in the Prophet, and in what had been revealed to him."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 5:82&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You will find the Jews and disbelievers [defined as Christians in 5:73] the most vehement in hatred for the Muslims."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 2:59&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We sent a plague upon the Jews from heaven, for their evil-doing."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 17:7&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We shall rouse Our (Muslim) slaves to shame and ravage you (Jews), disfiguring your faces.

There is a grievous punishment awaiting them. Satan tells them not to believe so both of them will end up in Hell."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 59:2&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It was He [Allah] who drove the [Jewish] People of the Book from their [Medina] homes and into exile. They refused to believe. You did not think that they would go away. And they imagined that their settlement would protect them against Allah. But Allah's [actually Muhammad's] (torment) came at them from where they did not suspect and terrorized them. Their homes were destroyed. So learn a lesson O men who have eyes. This is My warning. Had Allah not decreed the expulsion of the Jews, banishing them into the desert, He would certainly have punished them in this world, and in the next they shall taste the torment of Hell Fire."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 2:40&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"O Children of Israel, remember the favors I bestowed on you. So keep My Covenant so that I fulfil your covenant. Fear Me. And believe in what I sent down, confirming and verifying the Scripture which you possess already."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 2:41&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Be not the first to deny or sell My Verses for a small price; and fear Me, and Me alone." [Another translation reads:] "Part not with My Revelations for a trifling price, getting a small gain by selling My Verses."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 2:43&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"[Jews] Perform prayer; pay the zakat tax; bow down and prostrate yourself with Ar-Raki'un (the obedient bowers).

Nor will Allah speak to them or look at them on the Day of Judgment, nor will He cleanse them: They shall have a grievous torment, a painful doom. There is among them a section who distort the Book with their tongues. (As they read) you would think it is from the Book, but it is not from the Book; and they say, 'That is from God,' but it is not from Allah: It is they who tell a lie against Allah, and (well) they know it!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 3:84&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Say (Muhammad): 'We believe in Allah and that which is revealed to us and that which was revealed unto Abraham and Ishmael, Isaac and Jacob and the tribes [of Israel], and in (the Books) given to Moses, Jesus, and the prophets, from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and unto Him we have surrendered, bowing our will (in Islam).'"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 3:85&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (Surrender), never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter He will be in the ranks of those who are losers." Qur'an 3:87 "Of such the reward is that on them (rests) the curse of Allah, of His angels, and of all men, all together. In that will they dwell; nor will their penalty of doom be lightened."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qur'an 33:26&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Allah took down the People of the Scripture Book. He cast terror into their hearts. Some you slew, and some you made prisoners. And He made you heirs of their lands, their houses, and their goods, giving you a land which you had not traversed before." [Version two:] "And He drove the People of the Scripture down from their homes and cast panic into their hearts. Some you killed, and you made some captive. And He caused you to inherit their farms, houses, wealth, and land you have not trodden."&lt;/blockquote&gt;These are just a few of the verses in the Quran which depict the Jews as a sub human species. There are a lot more such verses about them, as well as about the Christians, the Sabians (not sure what that really means) the pagans, the Zoroastrians... In fact, according to the Quran and Mohammed or Allah (they are one and the same, as everyone knows), Muslims are supposed to hate everyone and everything that is not Muslim, but Jews are on the top of that hate list. Do you know why? It is pretty simple, actually. They are smart, intelligent people and they did not buy Mo's cock-and-bull story about some angel coming down and giving him the message from God and making him a prophet. He just could not digest the fact that no matter how hard he tried to sell his story, the Jews were not buying it. Period.. So how did he retaliate? He got his Allah to send down derogatory verses against the Jews, and unfortunately his followers were dumb enough to believe that the kind and merciful God would actually hate the very own people he created. How could God say such cruel things about his most special people? His chosen ones? If only Mo's followers had a little more common sense, but alas, for the last 14 centuries, Muslims are blinded by the hatred and rage, which has been absorbed into their very souls against the Jews. The only way to overcome that is to liberate oneself from the evil clutches of Islam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4793384866525609075-830862847093219359?l=liberatednow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/feeds/830862847093219359/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/2012/01/why-do-muslims-despise-jews-so-much.html#comment-form' title='166 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4793384866525609075/posts/default/830862847093219359'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4793384866525609075/posts/default/830862847093219359'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/2012/01/why-do-muslims-despise-jews-so-much.html' title='Why do Muslims despise Jews so much?'/><author><name>Liberated One</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12033054482768383889</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>166</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793384866525609075.post-1699336092755023121</id><published>2012-01-06T18:59:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-06T22:21:34.372-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Ever since I can remember, I have always been a Zionist</title><content type='html'>Ever since I can remember, I have always been a Zionist. To understand this, we have to go back to my childhood, in fact my school days. I have always heard an extremely negative and detrimental description about the Jewish people, that they are the most cunning, mean, ruthless, selfish, self centered, conniving, greedy and sick people. I always used to counter-question those in authority about why are they supposed to be so bad, and I always got very petty reasons, saying because they killed innocent Muslims and still are killing so many innocent Muslims in Palestine, and mainly because they killed so many prophets. I had never personally met a Jew in my life (actually I still have not met any), but from what I had seen, heard and read in the media, they seemed like pretty normal people with two hands, two feet, two eyes, two ears and a nose, and they definitely do not have horns on their heads. It was only recently that I discovered that the Jews are actually the oppressed and not the oppressor as otherwise claimed by the Arabs. To understand my point of view, it is very vital that you all know the true historical background of Israel and the Jews. This lesson in history is especially imperative for the ignorant and misinformed Muslims who are totally oblivious to the facts, so here it goes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;1. Israel became a nation in 1312 BCE, two thousand years before the rise of Islam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Arab refugees in Israel began identifying themselves as part of a Palestinian people in 1967, two decades after the establishment of the modern State of Israel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Since the Jewish conquest in 1272 BCE, the Jews have had dominion over the land for one thousand years, with a continuous presence in the land for the past 3,300 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. The only Arab dominion since the conquest in 635 CE lasted no more than 22 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. For over 3,300 years, Jerusalem has been the Jewish capital. Jerusalem has never been the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. Even when the Jordanians occupied Jerusalem, they never sought to make it their capital, and Arab leaders did not come to visit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in Tanach, the Jewish Holy Scriptures. Jerusalem is not mentioned once in the Koran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. King David founded the city of Jerusalem. Mohammed never came to Jerusalem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. Jews pray facing Jerusalem. Muslims pray with their backs toward Jerusalem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. In 1948 the Arab refugees were encouraged to leave Israel by Arab leaders promising to purge the land of Jews. Sixty-eight percent left without ever seeing an Israeli soldier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. The Jewish refugees were forced to flee from Arab lands due to Arab brutality, persecution, and slaughter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11. The number of Arab refugees who left Israel in 1948 is estimated to be around 630,000. The number of Jewish refugees from Arab lands is estimated to be the same.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12. Arab refugees were intentionally not absorbed or integrated into the Arab lands to which they fled, despite the vast Arab territory. Out of the 100,000,000 refugees since World War II, theirs is the only refugee group in the world that has never been absorbed or integrated into their own people's lands. Jewish refugees were completely absorbed into Israel, a country no larger than the state of New Jersey.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13. The Arabs are represented by eight separate nations, not including the Palestinians. There is only one Jewish nation. The Arab nations initiated all five wars and lost. Israel defended itself each time and won.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14. The PLO's Charter still calls for the destruction of the State of Israel. Israel has given the Palestinians most of the West Bank land, autonomy under the Palestinian Authority, and has supplied them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;15. Under Jordanian rule, Jewish holy sites were desecrated and the Jews were denied access to places of worship. Under Israeli rule, all Muslim and Christian sites have been preserved and made accessible to people of all faiths.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;16. The UN Record on Israel and the Arabs: of the 175 Security Council resolutions passed before 1990, 97 were directed against Israel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;17. Of the 690 General Assembly resolutions voted on before 1990, 429 were directed against Israel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;18. The UN was silent while 58 Jerusalem Synagogues were destroyed by the Jordanians.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;19. The UN was silent while the Jordanians systematically desecrated the ancient Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20. The UN was silent while the Jordanians enforced an apartheid-like a policy of preventing Jews from visiting the Temple Mount and the Western Wall.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you consider the above facts, you will see that the state of Palestine never existed in history. When the Romans changed the name of Israel to Palestine, the people living there at the time were Jews, not Arabs. If there had been a "Palestinian People," which there never was, they would have been Jews.&amp;nbsp; Israel was called Palestine for two thousand years. Before the Israelis won the land in war, Gaza belonged to Egypt, and there were no "Palestinians" then. The West Bank belonged to Jordan, and there were no "Palestinians" then. The only reason that Muslims want Israel is because of their hatred toward Jews, Judaism, and anything that is not Muslim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Muslims believe in only one thing, that is, hatred. They hate everyone, whether they are Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, Atheists or anyone who is not a Muslim. Because of the hate-filled teachings of Muhammad, Islam is in a constant state of war with every religion on the planet. But did you notice? None of these other religions are at war with each other, at least not in the current state of affairs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They even hate Muslims who are not from the same sect, that is, Shias hate Sunnis and vice versa. Mohammed indeed created a monster, and that is Islam. Even after 14 centuries, that monster continues to haunt us and will continue to do so unless and until we do something to stop it.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4793384866525609075-1699336092755023121?l=liberatednow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/feeds/1699336092755023121/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/2012/01/ever-since-i-can-remember-i-have-always.html#comment-form' title='159 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4793384866525609075/posts/default/1699336092755023121'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4793384866525609075/posts/default/1699336092755023121'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/2012/01/ever-since-i-can-remember-i-have-always.html' title='Ever since I can remember, I have always been a Zionist'/><author><name>Liberated One</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12033054482768383889</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>159</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793384866525609075.post-7991663348684703191</id><published>2012-01-04T12:25:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-04T12:30:23.337-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Mohammed - The Pioneer of the Holocaust</title><content type='html'>“The Holocaust”. The word still echoes in my ears from the first time I heard about it back in school, but unfortunately there was no internet those days and our teachers gave us a much edited version, putting the entire blame on the Jews. Even then I used to argue with them about why kill someone just because he or she does not follow your religion. I was literally forced to shut up then. Flash forward to 1999; it was then that I actually read about the true uncensored version of the Holocaust. It was the biggest shock of my life; I just could not believe that such an astonishing crime against humanity would take place and the whole world would keep quiet about it. An evil man killed millions of people just because they were Jewish. For more details please read about it &lt;a href="http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/holo.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That incident changed the history of humanity, or at least that is what I thought at first, and I kept on saying that Adolf Hitler was the worst human being ever born on the face of the earth. He was a heartless, cruel, barbaric and sadistic son of a bitch. You can’t imagine how much I loathed and despised him ever since I read the history of the holocaust. I could not help but feel resentment towards the education system of my country for not indoctrinating us about this hideous and gruesome chapter of history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then flash forward to September 2001, when I finally mustered up enough courage to address my fears and doubts about Islam, and started searching and reading whatever I could lay my hands on. But still, it took me ten years to finally have the fortitude to leave that evil cult in October 2011. What brought about the changes, you might ask. I would definitely say the English translation of the Quran, and after reading it I realized that it is the most pernicious literature on the face of the earth. Finally, on October 24th 2011, &lt;a href="http://alisina.org/what-is-my-identity/"&gt;I wrote to Ali Sina&lt;/a&gt;, and the rest, as they say, is history. Ali Sina surely deserves most of the credit for my apostasy, because had it not been for him and his book &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Muhammad-Psychobiography-Allahs-prophet/dp/0980994802/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;qid=1325178933&amp;amp;sr=8-1"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Understanding Muhammad&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, I would have never opened up my eyes, or my brain, for that matter. I was totally brainwashed from the time I was born that Islam is the true religion of God and Mohammed is the best human being in the history of humanity, and that there can never be anyone like him. Of course, it is right in a way; there could never be anyone like him. He was the most clever and conniving son of a bitch, and Hitler probably apotheosized, because I really do believe that Adolf Hitler was a clone of Mohammed. Do you have any idea what he did to the Jews of Medina? He slaughtered them heartlessly in front of their wives and then raped their wives that very night. One of the examples is Safiya, and here I would like to refer to Ali Sina’s website &lt;a href="http://www.alisina.org/"&gt;www.alisina.org&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;The following is the story of Safiyah Bint Huyai Ibn Akhtab, the Jewish woman who was captured when Muhammad’s troops attacked Khaibar and brought her to the Prophet as part of his share of the booty. Muhammad ordered Kinana, the young husband of Safiyah to be tortured to death to make him reveal the whereabouts of the treasure of the town. On the very nigh of that murder, he took Safiyah to his bed and claimed her as his trophy. This story is reported by Tabari in detail. It can also be found in Sira of Ibn Ishaq. The following is reported in the Book of Tabaqat, compiled by Ibn Sa’d. Two years earlier, Muhammad had beheaded Huyai, the father of Safiyah along with 900 men of Bani Quraiza. Huyai Ibn Akhtab, the father of Safiyah was the leader of the Bani Nadir, one of the Jewish tribes of Medina. Muhammad’s followers had killed a couple of Arabs with whom Muhammad had signed a peace treaty. He decided to pay the blood money to the families of the victims who were killed by error. He went to the Bani Nadir asking them to pay that money. This was a strange request since the Jews had nothing to do with those murders. However, the Jews were afraid of Muhammad. He had banished another Jewish tribe, the Bani Qainiqa and they feared this may happen to them too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They elders of the Bani Nadir retreated to collect the money. Muhammad and his companions sat beneath a wall in their Jewish quarter waiting. However, Muhammad’s real intention was to destroy the Jews and take possession of all their belongings, and not just the blood money for the crime of his followers. He hoped that the Jews would protest and he would use it as an excuse to wage war on them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After sitting and waiting for a while, he suddenly stood up and left without saying anything to anyone. His follower noticing that he is not coming back also left. Later he told them that Gabriel informed him that the Jews were planning to throw a stone from the top of the wall and kill him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was a lie. If the Bani Nadir wanted to kill him they did not need to throw a stone on him. He was in their hands. They were afraid and this cost them their lives. Cowardice never pays.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Muhammad then laid siege on the Bani Nadir and cut the water to them. When they surrendered, he decided to kill them all. Abdullah ibn Obay, an old leader of the Arabs of Median intervened. Muhammad feared that this could cause split among his followers and decided to not kill the Bani Nadir, instead he took possession of their wealth and property and banished them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then Bani Nadir took refuge in Khaibar, a Jews' fortress to the North of Medina. That is how Safiyah ended up in Khaibar and married the Kinana the youthful leader of that town. However, her father Huyai was beheaded when Muhammad laid siege on the last Jewish tribe of Medina, the Bani Quriaza and found him there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Safiyah was seventeen and very beautiful. When Muhammad raided Khaibar, he killed all the men. People were not ready for war. They were taken by surprise. Muhammad was not a warrior. He was a terrorist. His wars are called gazwah (raid, ambush, sudden attack).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Muhammad then captured Kinana and tortured him. He wanted to know whereabouts of the town’s treasure. He passed red hot iron to his eyes and blinded him. Kinana was a valiant man. He did not speak. A Jew, maybe the ancestor of Noam Chomsky and George Soros, told Muhammad where he can find the treasures. Jews have always had their good share of traitors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kinana died under torture. Then Muhammad asked his men to bring him the prettiest girl. Safiyah, the seventeen years old wife of Kinana was the prettiest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bilal, brought Kinana and her cousin, the sister of Kinana to Muhammad. When Kinana’s sister saw her brother’s mutilated corps, she became hysterical. Muhammad became enrages and said, take this devil away from me. Later he told Bilal, don’t you have any humanity to parade women in front of the corpse of their loved ones? How wonderful. The Prophet was full of compassion and humanity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, he took Safiyah to his tent because she had become a widow, he took compassion on her and decided to take her as his wife. Of course the fact that she was young and pretty had nothing to do with it. There were hundreds of other women who also had become widows on that day. The younger and prettier ones were saved by the self abnegating compassionate Murderers of their husbands and fathers and the older ones were left to till the land, and give 50% of the produce to the most perfect human and the Mercy of God on earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The following is from Tabaqat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Safiyah was born in Medinah. She belonged to the Jewish tribe of Banu ‘I-Nadir. When this tribe was expelled from Medinah in the year 4 A.H, Huyai was one of those who settled in the fertile colony of Khaibar together with Kinana ibn al-Rabi’ to whom Safiyah was married a little before the Muslims attacked Khaibar. She was then seventeen. She had formerly been the wife of Sallam ibn Mishkam, who divorced her. One mile from Khaibar. Here the Prophet married Safiyah. She was groomed and made-up for the Prophet by Umm Sulaim, the mother of Anas ibn Malik. They spent the night there. Abu Ayyub al-Ansari guarded the tent of the Prophet the whole night. When, in the early dawn, the Prophet saw Abu Ayyub strolling up and down, he asked him what he meant by this sentry-go; he replied: “I was afraid for you with this young lady. You had killed her father, her husband and many of her relatives, and till recently she was an unbeliever. I was really afraid for you on her account”. The Prophet prayed for Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (Ibn Hisham, p. 766) Safiyah had requested the Prophet to wait till he had gone a stage away from Khaibar. “Why?” asked the Prophet. “I was afraid for you on account of the Jews who still happened to be near at Khaibar!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reason Safiyah rejected the sexual advances of Muhammad should be obvious to any thinking person. I believe most women prefer to mourn than jump into bed with the killer of their father, husband and many relatives on the same day of their death. But the fact that the prophet of Allah could not contain his sexual urges for one day to let this young girl grieve, says a lot of his moral character. He was a psychopath and bereft of conscience of empathy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for the rest of the story we are not sure whether it is true or was fabricated by Muslim historians to wipe the impression of rape. But this is all we have and to find the truth we have to rely on these biased documents narrated and written by Muslims.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The story goes on to say that Abu Ayyub was concerned for the safety of the prophet because he (Muhammad) had killed Safiyah’s father, husband and many of her relatives. This is logical. It is foolish to sleep with a woman after killing her loved ones. But Safiyah’s excuse for rejecting Muhammad’s advances towards her seems unreasonable. When Muhammad took this young girl into his tent, he had already killed many Jews and had chained others. If there were any Jews left, they probably were more worried for their own lives than Safiyah being raped. Also she was already in the tent alone with Muhammad, how the Jews would have known if they were engaged in sex or not? This excuse sounds foolish and most likely is forged by Muslims to claim that Safiyah wanted to have sex with Muhammad, if she didn’t it was because she was concerned for his safety.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Muslims are a bunch of stupid people that believe in any asininity without thinking, but I am sure others have more sense to know this is a lie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The next day a Walima (we dding-feast) was arranged on behalf of the Prophet…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note that the historian is saying that the wedding took place one day after Muhammad got private with Safiyah and made his moves to have sex with her. This presented no problem for the prophet as he had his Allah reveal a verse saying it is okay to sleep with women captured in war without marrying them even if they are married. And all married women (are forbidden unto you) save those (captives) whom your right hands possess…” (Q. 4:24 )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The above verse shows that Muhammad did not believe that slaves have any right. Should Muslims come to power, this would be the fate of all non-Muslim women. Muslims can’t change anything that Muhammad has said or done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is confirmed in another place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Q. 23: 1-7)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1-The believers must (eventually) win through,-&lt;br /&gt;2- Those who humble themselves in their prayers;&lt;br /&gt;3-Who avoid vain talk;&lt;br /&gt;4- Who are active in deeds of charity;&lt;br /&gt;5- Who abstain from sex,&lt;br /&gt;6- Except with those joined to them in the marriage bond, or (the captives) whom their right hands possess,- for (in their case) they are free from blame,&lt;br /&gt;7- But those whose desires exceed those limits are transgressors;-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let us continue with the story of Safiyah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The other wives of the Prophet showed their jealousy by making slights upon her Jewish origin. But the Prophet always defended her. Once Safiyah was vexed to the extreme by the taunts of all the Arab wives of the Prophet. She took the complaint to the Prophet, who felt great compassion for her. He consoled her. He encouraged her. He equipped her with logic. He said: “Safiyah, take courage and be bold. They are in no way superior to you. Tell them: I am a daughter of the Prophet Harun, a niece of the Prophet Musa, and a wife of the Prophet Muhammad”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When she was brought along with other prisoners-of-war, the Prophet said to her, “Safiyah, your father always maintained enmity with me until Allah made the final decision.” She said, “But Allah does not catch one for the sins of another.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This of course contradicts Muhammad’s own behavior that annihilated the entire Bani Qainuqa with the pretext that few of them had killed a Muslim in retaliation of him killing a Jew.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He banished an entire tribe, making them pay for the killing of a Muslim. That Muslim had already killed a Jew. But this did not matter to Muhammad. He needed an excuse to lay his hand on their wealth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is despite the verse that says “Namely, that no bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another” (Q. 53:38) Also it was not Allah who made the final decision.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See how this despicable man washes his hand from his own crime. Safiyah’s father was killed by Muhammad’s not by Allah. If God wanted to kill all those people He could have done it on his own. God needs no mercenaries to do his will.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The Prophet then gave her the choice of joining her people after freedom or accepting Islam and coming into a matrimonial relationship with him”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gave her a choice? What choice? Muhammad had killed her husband and all her relatives. Where could she go? Joining her people? Which people? The men were killed and the women were enslaved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She was very intelligent and gentle and said, “O Allah’s Messenger, I had hoped for Islam, and I confirmed you before your invitation. Now when I have the honour to be in your presence, I am given a choice between kufr and Islam I swear by Allah, that Allah and His Messenger is dearer to me than my own freedom and my joining with my people.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Was this confession, if true, sincere? Was she safe to speak her mind? She was enslaved by a man who had exterminated her family. See the reference made to her “freedom”. This shows clearly that she was not free. In fact she must have been very intelligent to fabricate those lies to save her own life. But the truth is that this story is most likely a lie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“When Safiyah was married, she was very young, and according to one report she was hardly seventeen years old and was extremely beautiful. Once A’isha said a few sentences about her short stature, at which the Prophet said, “You have said a thing that if it were left in the sea, it would mix with it (and make its water dirty). ” (Abu Dawud). She not only deeply loved the Prophet but also greatly respected him as Allah’s Messenger, for she heard the conversations of her father and uncle after they went to Medinah. When the Prophet migrated to Medinah, they came to see him and find out whether he was the true Messenger of Allah spoken of in the Scriptures. When they got back and talked together that night, Safiyah was in her bed listening to them. One of them said, “What do you think about him?” He replied, “He is the same Prophet foretold by our Scriptures.” Then the other said, “What is to be done?” The reply came that they must oppose him with all their might.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is this story, narrated by Abu Dawud, credible? How can two Jews recognize Muhammad as the prophet foretold by their scriptures and decide to oppose him with all their might? It defies all logic. It takes a “deficient in intelligence” or a Muslim to believe in this nonsense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She was deeply in love with Muhammad, the murderer of her father and husband? How stupid can Muslim be to believe in this narration? How can a seventeen years old beautiful girl fall in love with an aging crippled man with a broken tooth and fetid smell? Read my book Understanding Muhammad to learn how Muhammad was deformed and smelled foul.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s doubtful these were the words of Safiyah. If she said such thing, she was lying, to make herself safe, but I doubt she said such thing. All we need is a working brain to find where Muslims lie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why would someone decide to oppose with all his might the one who he knows is the promised one of his own scriptures? Where in the Bible Muhammad is foretold? Is Muhammad mentioned in the Bible? Read this article to see the pathetic lies of Muslims. Muhammad is not mentioned in the Bible or in any sacred book.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“So Safiyah was convinced of the truth of the Prophet. She spared no pain to look after him, care for him and provide every comfort that she could think of. This is evident since she came into his presence after the fall of Khaibar.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See how the writer contradicts himself in one page? Just a few lines above we read that she was captured and was taken to Muhammad as a prisoner. She didn’t come on her own. She was taken to Muhammad because she was young and the beautiful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The Prophet had a slight grievance against her for she had refused when the Prophet wanted to have privacy with her at the previous stage (of the journey). At the next halt, the Prophet had privacy with her and spent all night with her. When she was asked by Umm Sulaim, “What did you see in Allah’s Messenger?” She said he was very pleased with her and did not sleep at all but was talking to her all night. He had asked her, ‘Why did you refuse at the first stage when I desired privacy with you?’ She had said, ‘I was afraid for you because of the nearness of the Jews. “‘This thing further increased my merit in his eyes.” (Tabaqat).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bukhari also has recorded some Hadithes telling the invasion of Khaibar and how Muhammad met Safiyah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Narrated ‘Abdul ‘Aziz:&lt;br /&gt;Anas said, ‘When Allah’s Apostle invaded Khaibar, we offered the Fajr prayer there yearly in the morning) when it was still dark. The Prophet rode and Abu Talha rode too and I was riding behind Abu Talha. The Prophet passed through the lane of Khaibar quickly and my knee was touching the thigh of the Prophet . He uncovered his thigh and I saw the whiteness of the thigh of the Prophet. When he entered the town, he said, ‘Allahu Akbar! Khaibar is ruined. Whenever we approach near a (hostile) nation (to fight) then evil will be the morning of those who have been warned.’ He repeated this thrice. The people came out for their jobs and some of them said, ‘Muhammad (has come).’ (Some of our companions added, “With his army.”) We conquered Khaibar, took the captives, and the booty was collected. Dihya came and said, ‘O Allah’s Prophet! Give me a slave girl from the captives.’ The Prophet said, ‘Go and take any slave girl.’ He took Safiya bint Huyai. A man came to the Prophet and said, ‘O Allah’s Apostles! You gave Safiya bint Huyai to Dihya and she is the chief mistress of the tribes of Quraiza and An-Nadir and she befits none but you.’ So the Prophet said, ‘Bring him along with her.’ So Dihya came with her and when the Prophet saw her, he said to Dihya, ‘Take any slave girl other than her from the captives.’ Anas added: The Prophet then manumitted her and married her.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thabit asked Anas, “O Abu Hamza! What did the Prophet pay her (as Mahr)?” He said, “Her self was her Mahr for he manumitted her and then married her.” Anas added, “While on the way, Um Sulaim dressed her for marriage (ceremony) and at night she sent her as a bride to the Prophet . (Sahih Bukhari 1.367)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mahr is the dowry that a bride gets from her husband when he marries her. Muhammad did not pay Safiyah her Mahr because he had to pay it to himself for manumitting her. This story is significant because it gives us an insight into the moral and ethical values of Muhammad and his benighted followers. Muhammad was a psychopath. But Muslims have no shame. They worship a psychopath and want us to respect them. Does stupidity deserve respect? By virtue of following an insane man, every one of them acts insane.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any decent, or even normal person cringer with stories like this, yet Muhammad taught that he is going to receive two rewards by marrying Safiyah. One for manumitting someone whom no one but himself had enslaved, and the other for marrying her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abu Musa reported that Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) said about one who emancipated a slave woman, and then married her, that for him there are two rewards. (Sahih Muslim Book 008, Number 3327)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isn’t that disgusting? Drop this stupid political correctness and call a spade a spade. Muslims are a bunch of morons. How stupid these people can get?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Narrated Anas:&lt;br /&gt;The Prophet offered the Fajr Prayer near Khaibar when it was still dark and then said, “Allahu-Akbar! Khaibar is destroyed, for whenever we approach a (hostile) nation (to fight), then evil will be the morning for those who have been warned.” Then the inhabitants of Khaibar came out running on the roads. The Prophet had their warriors killed, their offspring and woman taken as captives. Safiya was amongst the captives, She first came in the share of Dahya Alkali but later on she belonged to the Prophet . The Prophet made her manumission as her ‘Mahr’. (Sahih Bukhari V.5 B.59 N.512)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://alisina.org/muhammad-raped-safiyah/"&gt;http://alisina.org/muhammad-raped-safiyah/&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To say that I was in a total shock for the next few days is an understatement.&amp;nbsp; I realized that Mohammed orchestrated the first Holocaust in the history of mankind, and then Hitler merely followed his footsteps. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How can any Muslim every justify what he did? He slaughtered innocent men and young boys just because they were Jewish. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My next post would be about the tribulations and afflictions which the Jewish people have been facing for thousands of years and are still fighting for their own land and their identity.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4793384866525609075-7991663348684703191?l=liberatednow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/feeds/7991663348684703191/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/2012/01/mohammed-pioneer-of-holocaust.html#comment-form' title='178 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4793384866525609075/posts/default/7991663348684703191'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4793384866525609075/posts/default/7991663348684703191'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/2012/01/mohammed-pioneer-of-holocaust.html' title='Mohammed - The Pioneer of the Holocaust'/><author><name>Liberated One</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12033054482768383889</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>178</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793384866525609075.post-2054690944235137767</id><published>2012-01-02T08:30:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-02T09:03:01.650-08:00</updated><title type='text'>A message from Robert Spencer</title><content type='html'>I just got off the phone with Shakila, the Liberated One, and we agreed that it would be helpful, at least for people of good will, for me to add a note here affirming her veracity. I'm not concerned about jihadis, Islamic supremacists and jihad enablers who will not be satisfied by anything I say, but since people on the side of freedom have raised questions, it seemed worthwhile to address a few concerns that have been raised.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, Shakila has posted a large amount of personal information here, leading some to be worried about her safety, and others to wonder why she is so apparently unconcerned about making personal information public even though she says she is in a country where she could be arrested or killed for her apostasy if discovered. In fact, while the information she has given about her life situation is generally accurate, she has changed small details so as to avoid detection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, I have not only spoken with her on the phone. I have seen her resume, have her address, seen her photograph, and have other details about her situation that have not been and are not going to be made public. Those who have detected what appear to be anomalies in her story are working from information that is necessarily incomplete, because to reveal too much would be to put Shakila in danger. For example, some have noted that she said that she didn't know Arabic, as she is Pakistani, but lives and works in a Middle Eastern country. The country in which she lives, however, has a large population of non-Arabic speakers, and English speakers are especially in demand. Others have wondered why Shakila is complaining when she lives what she describes as a reasonably wealthy and comfortable life. But a cage even gilded is still a cage: she cannot state her apostasy openly, or her life would be in danger. No amount of physical comfort can make up for the spiritual and psychic prison that Islamic apostasy law creates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note also that she has not asked anyone for anything, least of all money. We are working on trying to get her to a safe place, but this blog is not an appeal for any kind of assistance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In short, Shakila is real and is telling the truth, as the estimable and courageous Ali Sina can also attest. I hope that all decent people will support her efforts to live as a free human being.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4793384866525609075-2054690944235137767?l=liberatednow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/feeds/2054690944235137767/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/2012/01/message-from-robert-spencer.html#comment-form' title='73 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4793384866525609075/posts/default/2054690944235137767'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4793384866525609075/posts/default/2054690944235137767'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/2012/01/message-from-robert-spencer.html' title='A message from Robert Spencer'/><author><name>Robert Spencer</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>73</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793384866525609075.post-7847916573944293601</id><published>2011-12-31T10:21:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-31T10:21:11.514-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Happy New Year</title><content type='html'>I think in my last post I had forgotten to mention a few names, and some of them probably got offended, so here is a big thank to Trying to Follow Jesus, Kafir ibn al Shaitan, Anon, Dovecoder, bhigr, Ronald B, Bu Larue and Hesperado.&amp;nbsp; Please keep on reading my blog and comment on it, your support means a lot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is so easy to judge others, isn’t it? Has anyone ever tried to picture themselves in my shoes and think what I am going through? I guess the only person here who can empathize with me is Talitha, because she too is an ex -Muslim and comes from a similar family background.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think you guys need to go back and read my posts again. I have mentioned it pretty clearly that I am a very new apostate, just been over two months now when I actually gave up Islam, and you guys expect me to pack my bags and escape to the United States or Canada or whichever country offers me asylum? Do you think it is that easy to wind up your 25 years of life living in the same country in just 2 months? To give up my job where I have been working for 11 years in a blink of an eye? To go to my bank and tell them I won’t be able to pay the interest free loan that they have given me to buy my car and that they can probably take the car and sell it themselves? I cannot just wake up one morning and run away from my existence. It needs proper planning and execution and it will happen at the right time, but for the time being, I am happy being just what I am – A closeted Apostate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What about when I land in America or Canada? What then? Where will I live? Where will I work? Who will help me in getting a job and a legal status? There are far too many illegal immigrants in those countries as it is, and there is no way I am going to add one more to the list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Besides that, what will I tell my family? Besides my parents, brothers and sister, I have a huge extended family, including grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins. I have 3 nieces and 2 nephews who love me to bits. Can I live with the fact that my brothers and sister would tell them that their favorite aunty is dead to them? That would be so devastating for me and even for them. I do not want to lose my family, and that is why I can never come out in the open with my apostasy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Talitha very aptly wrote in her last post:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;For many apostates, the main reason they find themselves forced to remain living in secret is the horrible fact that everyone around them, their loved ones, family, friends, might and will leave them. It might not be "dangerous", and certainly other apostates have it much worse, but it is something that affects the human altogether in a very negative way. Something many people are not ready to throw themselves in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it cowardly? Maybe. But I see it as someone who is living secretly as a homosexual, having to 'come out', not exactly, but a analogy to understand how it may be. For many apostates, being killed is not their worry, but they know for sure they will be beaten, they will be forever spoken of terribly, and they will continuously be told they are supposed to, by Allah's rule, be killed. Even if the apostate is NOT killed, the fact that everyone around them believes they should be... would be devastating to see that in the eyes of those they love. It is very hurtful and a person can only tolerate much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;I assure everyone that I have no intention to live here in the Middle East all my life and I am exploring all options to escape from here, but at the same time, I need to be sure that my future is secure and I do no end up being a burden to anyone. I just hope that this is the last time I am trying to defend myself or prove my sincerity, because from now on, I would like to focus on the main issue here, that is exposing Islam and to explicate my apostasy in detail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So look out my next post, entitled “The Holocaust.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Till then, I wish you all a very Happy New Year.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4793384866525609075-7847916573944293601?l=liberatednow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/feeds/7847916573944293601/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/2011/12/happy-new-year.html#comment-form' title='197 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4793384866525609075/posts/default/7847916573944293601'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4793384866525609075/posts/default/7847916573944293601'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/2011/12/happy-new-year.html' title='Happy New Year'/><author><name>Liberated One</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12033054482768383889</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>197</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793384866525609075.post-3905663762222634508</id><published>2011-12-30T10:08:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-30T10:08:13.811-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The only freedom which is NOT AVAILABLE to me in this country is changing my religion and announcing my apostasy</title><content type='html'>First of all, I would like to personally thank Wisdom Hunter, Isaac, Quiet Dave, Gravenimage, Wheatington, Shayne, Urban Infidel, Awake, Usama, CGW, John K, Seanrobsville, MartinKonvicka, Talitha, Treah and last but not least, a very big thank you to Mr. Ali Sina for visiting my blog and for posting such valuable comments. As for people like Skouti, Stoned 7 and Slave of Allah, I really feel nothing else for them except pity...the same kind of pity I feel for my family, relatives and Muslim friends. I just wish and pray to God that one day they, too, can see light and have the guts to free themselves from Islam, as I have done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I have mentioned in my previous profile, I moved to the Middle East when I was 10 years old, with my parents and 3 other siblings. My dad used to work in a bank and retired as an Assistant Manager after working there for 20 years. It has been around 5 years since my dad retired, and he moved back to Pakistan with mom, and now they are happily staying in our ancestral home with my grandparents. My married sister also stays in Karachi close to my parents with her 3 children, whereas both my brothers are still over here in the Middle East with their families. As for me, I am a 35-year-old woman working in a bank and living in a very comfortable 2-bedroom apartment which I share with a smart dynamic &amp;amp; independent divorced woman. Since she is not a Muslim, I do not have to worry about my computer and internet privacy. In any case, she has her own laptop and I have my own. My parents are very orthodox and very devout Muslims but they are not fanatics, and that is precisely why I had mentioned in one of my previous posts that they might not kill me for apostasy but they will surely disown me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So you see, I am very independent. I have my own privacy to do whatever I want, go wherever I want and read whatever I want…I drive a 2011 BMW X5 which I purchased in December 2010, so even financially I am pretty comfortable. I am not here to ask anyone for financial aid, as someone suggested yesterday. The only freedom which is NOT AVAILABLE to me in this country is changing my religion and announcing my apostasy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This country where I reside is in the Middle East, but it is not Saudi Arabia, so the internet censorship here is not that bad. And in any case, I use a proxy (www.torproject.org/), which helps me bypass the firewalls set up by the local service provider. I am not a fool to buy these books by Amazon and get them delivered to an address. Most of the books I have purchased from ibooks online store, and I read them on my ipad. Some books, like &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Muhammad-Psychobiography-Allahs-prophet/dp/0980994802/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;qid=1325178933&amp;amp;sr=8-1"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Understanding Muhammad&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt; by the brilliant Ali Sina, were sent to me by the author himself, who was kind enough to email me the PDF.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gosh, I don’t know why I have to defend myself, my existence and my apostasy over and over again. Why is it so difficult to believe that I am a very smart, independent, intelligent and intellectual woman who actually has a mind of her own? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am requesting all my friends and well wishers yet once again to please ignore comments by Skouti, Stoned and Slave of Allah. Don’t you see that they are trying to divert the attention towards themselves? The best way to deal with these people is by completely ignoring them.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4793384866525609075-3905663762222634508?l=liberatednow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/feeds/3905663762222634508/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/2011/12/only-freedom-which-is-not-available-to.html#comment-form' title='175 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4793384866525609075/posts/default/3905663762222634508'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4793384866525609075/posts/default/3905663762222634508'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/2011/12/only-freedom-which-is-not-available-to.html' title='The only freedom which is NOT AVAILABLE to me in this country is changing my religion and announcing my apostasy'/><author><name>Liberated One</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12033054482768383889</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>175</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793384866525609075.post-6540450473595145809</id><published>2011-12-29T09:20:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-29T09:20:11.226-08:00</updated><title type='text'>I have spent 35 years in an evil cult and it is so difficult to get over it or put it behind me</title><content type='html'>I am at work right now but not able to concentrate on anything because there is this deep anger and bitterness inside me which is making it impossible to live a normal life. So I thought, let me start writing and release the tension right away, or else I will end up having a nervous breakdown. Why am I so stressed? Even I do not know for sure, but I guess it is just the people around me who make me mad. I mean these fanatic Muslims who have nothing better to do all day except pray, recite the Quran and share that moron’s anecdotes with other equally stupid idiots.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Someone has commented on my last post that why don’t I share it with my parents instead of writing about it on the blog? I think either that guy is mentally challenged or he is just a sadist who wants to read about yet another honor killing in the Muslim world. My parents are really staunch Muslims. My dad prays in the mosque five times a day and my mom wears the burqa and prays 6 times a day, 5 obligatory prayers and then an additional one called Tahajjud. There is no way I can share with parents or my siblings or any of my relatives, and not even with my Muslim friends or colleagues. If my family ever finds out, they might not kill me, but they will definitely disown me for life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only reason I am writing this blog is because I need to release my pent up frustrations and this is the only way I can do it, an anonymous blog. None of you can understand my predicament unless and until you also happen to be an ex-Muslim. Even now, I get nightmares every night where I am either fasting or praying or circumambulating around that black square object in Mecca. I get panic attacks each time I pass by a mosque or hear or see people praying.&amp;nbsp; I have spent 35 years in an evil cult and it is so difficult to get over it or put it behind me. Sometimes, I even feel suicidal because I just cannot take it anymore, I feel extremely lonely and disconnected from the people around me. I feel totally alienated from my own family and I feel this suffocation inside me which is really killing me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I was in school, we were taught Islamic studies right from kindergarten till grade 12, and even during my graduation, Islamic studies was a compulsory subject. We were taught a whitewashed version of Mohammed’s biography which depicted him as a saint, a kind hearted and loving prophet of God who wanted a Utopian society where everyone believed in one God. He was a poor orphan who lost his mother at the age of 6 and then was brought up by his grandfather and uncle, then married a woman 15 years older than him. He defended this people from the enemy and the wars that he fought were only defensive. This was what I knew all my life until recently when I read the truth behind his benevolent demeanor, when I was exposed to books such as &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Muhammad-Psychobiography-Allahs-prophet/dp/0980994802/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;qid=1325178933&amp;amp;sr=8-1"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Understanding Muhammad&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1596985283/105-1749781-4552435?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=robertspencer-20&amp;amp;linkCode=xm2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creativeASIN=1596985283"&gt;The Truth about Muhammad&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Cult-Moon-God-Brian-Wilson/dp/1414119976/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;amp;ie=UTF8&amp;amp;qid=1325179016&amp;amp;sr=1-1"&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Cult of the Moon God&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1591020115/robertspencer-20"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Why I am not a Muslim&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and several other similar books. One day, I want to write a book as well, about my past life and a typical Muslim woman’s life, the challenges she faces on a day to day basis. In fact, I already got an offer to co-write a book, and I am seriously considering the possibility of doing it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But before I do that, the blog thing is not a bad idea at all, all thanks to my dear friend &amp;amp; well wisher Robert Spencer. By the way, someone seriously thinks that I happen to be Robert’s alter ego or something like that... Well, to put an end to such baseless rumors, I would appreciate if you could have a look at the following links. Now don’t tell me that Robert would actually go through such lengths to prove his point. Come on guys, he has better things to do than this….Anyway, the following are a few questions that I wrote to Ali Sina when I first started having doubts regarding my beliefs.&amp;nbsp; I have also written to Daniel Pipes, David Wood and Pamela Geller. Now don’t tell me that Robert pretended to be some Shakila and wrote to all of these people. Don’t you think that is far too desperate even if he wants to prove his point that Islam is a hoax? No one can hate anyone or anything that much, to go to such lengths.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not trying to defend myself. I don’t care what you think of me but I do feel terribly guilty when you make Robert seem to stoop so low.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheers&lt;br /&gt;Shakila&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://alisina.org/what-is-my-identity/"&gt;http://alisina.org/what-is-my-identity/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://alisina.org/cult-rehabilitation/"&gt;http://alisina.org/cult-rehabilitation/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://alisina.org/muhammads-prophecy-of-romans-victory/"&gt;http://alisina.org/muhammads-prophecy-of-romans-victory/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.faithfreedom.org/articles/apostates-of-islam/liberated/"&gt;http://www.faithfreedom.org/articles/apostates-of-islam/liberated/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4793384866525609075-6540450473595145809?l=liberatednow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/feeds/6540450473595145809/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/2011/12/i-have-spent-35-years-in-evil-cult-and.html#comment-form' title='111 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4793384866525609075/posts/default/6540450473595145809'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4793384866525609075/posts/default/6540450473595145809'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/2011/12/i-have-spent-35-years-in-evil-cult-and.html' title='I have spent 35 years in an evil cult and it is so difficult to get over it or put it behind me'/><author><name>Liberated One</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12033054482768383889</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>111</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793384866525609075.post-1848137106193834310</id><published>2011-12-27T11:35:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-27T11:35:09.793-08:00</updated><title type='text'>More background about who I am and what I am doing</title><content type='html'>Seems like there is a rumor going around that I am western educated and that I perhaps live in a western country because of my almost perfect English. Unfortunately, that is not the case, though I wish it were true but I have never really lived in any western country. I was born in Pakistan, moved to the Middle East when I was 10 years old, and since then have been here. I have visited a few places like Europe, Australia, Canada and the US, but never really lived or studied there. I have been an avid reader since I was 5 years old and have this voracious appetite for books which never got diminished. I started off with Enid Blyton, then went to Agatha Christie, then Mills &amp;amp; Boons and Barbara Cartland during my teens. I still remember those days when I used to read romance novels below my bedcovers with a pen torch lest my parents found out.&amp;nbsp; As you can see, the credit goes to my penchant for books, rather than to anything or anyone else. Besides, I have always watched a lot of American television and Hollywood movies, so that, too, has played an important part in my developing proper linguistic skills.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have three siblings and I am the eldest. I have two brothers and a sister; all are married and settled except me, not because no one ever proposed to me, but because I just could not make myself do it, I mean sign a lifelong bondage/slavery contract with some fanatic Muslim man. Muslim men are such morons, I swear; they are hypocrites in the first degree. They have a different set of rules for themselves and a different one for their women.&amp;nbsp; Total male chauvinistic pigs... I was always fascinated with the idea of marrying a western non Muslim man who would love, honor and respect me as an equal instead of getting married to some clone of Mohammed.&amp;nbsp; I am sure everyone is aware of his famous words “Women are deficient in their minds” or “I have been to hell and seen it full of women”.&amp;nbsp; These and many other hadeeth and Quranic verses have proclaimed that women are inferior to men and that men have an upper hand on them.&amp;nbsp; I never really liked the teachings of Islam and used to wonder deep down why is Islam so backward and why it could not be progressive like Christianity. I had so many questions but never had the guts to voice my thoughts aloud until recently, when I just had an epiphany one fine day and I knew that I had to do it, do the unthinkable, the impossible: I have to become an apostate. Then the journey began; months of studying and researching accompanied with sleepless nights and mental trauma and affliction which finally lead me to the unspoken truth that Islam is a hoax, a lie, and a make believe religion invented by Mohammed to fulfill his own carnal and self serving desires.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even though most people have given me their absolute support on my apostasy, there are some who are still in a doubt that if I really exist and wonder if I am just a figment of Spencer’s imagination. Why someone who happens to be a famous, well established and distinguished celebrity like Mr. Robert Spencer need to create an imaginary character like Liberated? It really does not make sense and it really causes me a lot of pain that I am not getting credit where it is due. I have gone through a lot, and whatever I am writing here on this blog comes straight from the bottom of my heart.&amp;nbsp; I am an apostate of Islam but let me make it clear, no one has brainwashed me, as some people like to believe. I am not some stupid, uneducated moron who would just get swayed away by someone.&amp;nbsp; No one forced it on me, no one asked me to leave Islam. I did it on my own because I truly never believed in many of its teachings and backward 7th century doctrine, but I just needed a push in the right direction, which was given to me by my mentor Ali Sina, as well as by some great writers like Mr. Robert Spencer, Mr. Daniel Pipes, Ms. Pamela Geller and Mr. Raymond Ibrahim.&amp;nbsp; These people have exposed Islam to the world like no one has ever done before, and I salute them all for their remarkable efforts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During the last few months, I have studied Islam like never before. I have read dozens of books, different Quran translations, interpretations, biographies of Mohammed and the hadeeth.&amp;nbsp; During the next few weeks, I will try my best to bring forward the idiosyncrasies of Islam and its founder Mohammed.&amp;nbsp; Hopefully, one day people like Slave of Allah and Kai will give up this evil cult and join the group of humanity.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4793384866525609075-1848137106193834310?l=liberatednow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/feeds/1848137106193834310/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/2011/12/more-background-about-who-i-am-and-what.html#comment-form' title='160 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4793384866525609075/posts/default/1848137106193834310'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4793384866525609075/posts/default/1848137106193834310'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/2011/12/more-background-about-who-i-am-and-what.html' title='More background about who I am and what I am doing'/><author><name>Liberated One</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12033054482768383889</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>160</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793384866525609075.post-6407152483778366141</id><published>2011-12-25T12:47:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-25T12:47:28.890-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Thank you</title><content type='html'>First of all, I would like to say that I am overwhelmed by the positive response that I am getting from all of you. I would like to personally thank all of you who have written such warm and encouraging comments to my post, and a big thanks for defending me so passionately from Kai56. I really cannot blame him, because he is just a typical Muslim who believes that no matter what, Islam is right and Mohammed is the best human being, and Muslims are the best of all nations. It is something which has been instilled in the minds of these people, and it takes a lot of courage and guts to shake it out of your system. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since I do not want to reveal my identity for obvious reasons, I won't be able to respond to each and every comment personally, as I am not posting on the blog myself. Robert and I both thought it would be much safer if I forward him the articles and let him post them on my blog. This way the crazy fanatics like Kai and Slave of Allah won't be able to trace me down, and unfortunately they won't get the great honor of killing me and going straight to paradise to bang the 72 whores waiting for them there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a small request for all my friends and well wishers, I just want you to ignore people like Kai and Slave of Allah. Reacting to their crazy comments is like acknowledging them in the first place, which is totally serving their purpose. I know that what I have done is the right thing, and I am on the right path finally, after being in prison for half of my life. There are other more important things for me to do other than defend myself in front of these losers. They are nothing but clones of Mohammed, heartless and brain-dead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will try to drop in a few lines every day, because I have a lot, a whole lot of things to say which I have been keeping inside for so long that I sometimes felt as if I would explode, but now thanks to the path shown to me by the Lord, I feel so free and light, as if all the load has been taken off my chest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even if I am not able to respond to your comments due to safety reasons, I would appreciate it very much if you keep on reading my blog and posting your lovely comments...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4793384866525609075-6407152483778366141?l=liberatednow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/feeds/6407152483778366141/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/2011/12/thank-you.html#comment-form' title='98 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4793384866525609075/posts/default/6407152483778366141'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4793384866525609075/posts/default/6407152483778366141'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/2011/12/thank-you.html' title='Thank you'/><author><name>Liberated One</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12033054482768383889</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>98</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793384866525609075.post-7350804021231757015</id><published>2011-12-24T08:51:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-24T09:31:18.515-08:00</updated><title type='text'>This Is What Islam Does to You</title><content type='html'>I was born in a very typical Sunni Muslim household, not very conservative like the Arabs, but nevertheless religious enough. I was born in Karachi, Pakistan to a very respectable Mohajjir family (mohajjirs are immigrants from India from the time of the partition in 1947). I moved to another Muslim country with my parents when I was just 10 years old and still live there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really wish there were a way I could freely live in a free society where I could follow the religion that I want without any compulsion. So far, I am not really sure what I am. I just know that I am not an atheist, because I do believe in a God, but that God cannot be the Allah of Mohammed. God is kind and merciful, not evil, cruel, mean and sadistic, as is Allah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you ever read the Quran in English? I never did, I mean all my life I just recited the Quran in Arabic without understanding a single word until August of this year, when I purchased a copy of the English Quran and read the translation for the first time. Previously I had read some parts of it in English, but never the whole thing. But this year in August I read it from cover to cover, and then also read other references on the internet. Then I finally reached the conclusion that this book is the most evil thing on the face of this earth. It teaches nothing else except hatred and violence. I can no longer be a part of a cult which subjugates its followers, making them mere blind puppets with no mind of their own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During the course of last four months, I have done nothing else but read, read and read. I spend hours a day reading Ali Sina and watching videos of David Wood and others who are trying their best to expose Islam to the world. I read &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Twenty-Three-Years-Prophetic-Mohammad/dp/1568590296/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;qid=1324745395&amp;amp;sr=8-1"&gt;&lt;i&gt;23 Years&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt; by Ali Dashti. The best among them all is Ali Sina's &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Muhammad-Psychobiography-Allahs-prophet/dp/0980994802/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;amp;ie=UTF8&amp;amp;qid=1324745432&amp;amp;sr=1-1"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Understanding Muhammad&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and of course Robert Spencer’s &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1596985283/105-1749781-4552435?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=robertspencer-20&amp;amp;linkCode=xm2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creativeASIN=1596985283"&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Truth About Muhammad&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. These kind of books are banned here, but I managed to find Robert’s book on Ibook, so I purchased it and just finished reading it yesterday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't know how to go about it. I mean, I want to remain anonymous, but at the same time I need help. I don't want to be killed just because I am brave enough to tell the truth. I am really in a terrible jam. I do not want to lose my life just because I do not believe in that evil religion anymore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last Sunday I went to the church here and attended the mass. Then I went to see the priest and asked him for help. He said that his hands were tied and he really could not do anything to help me, because when they had first gotten permission to built a church in this country, they had to agree to a few terms and conditions with the government here. One of them was not to convert anyone from Islam. He said if anyone finds out, the church would be closed and he would probably end up in jail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The priest said he could not help me personally, but that I was more than welcome to attend the mass and sit quietly at the back. He said, “Do not talk to anyone or reveal who you are.” It is a good idea, but frankly, I am not sure if I want to do that every week, because last Sunday I saw quite a few police cars circling the church premises, and I am really scared. What if someone checks my ID or something? They would probably close down the church and put me in jail, and maybe even execute me. My life will be in danger if anyone finds out that I have left Islam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a friend, a pretty young girl from Morocco who also lives here and works with me. She too has given up Islam recently but she is also very afraid of her life. This is what Islam does to you. When you are in it, your life is nothing but living in the fear of hell, and once you leave it, it is not less than hell because you are constantly scared to lose your life.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4793384866525609075-7350804021231757015?l=liberatednow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/feeds/7350804021231757015/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/2011/12/this-is-what-islam-does-to-you.html#comment-form' title='91 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4793384866525609075/posts/default/7350804021231757015'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4793384866525609075/posts/default/7350804021231757015'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/2011/12/this-is-what-islam-does-to-you.html' title='This Is What Islam Does to You'/><author><name>Liberated One</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12033054482768383889</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>91</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793384866525609075.post-322706756911053772</id><published>2011-12-22T15:56:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-23T05:52:04.925-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Liberated</title><content type='html'>Can you imagine how it feels to be finally liberated from an evil cult which was started by a sadistic, misogynistic, pedophile, anti-semite, a bandit and a perverted sex maniac fourteen centuries ago? How it feels to finally emerge from a fear and guilt infested existence? What the first air of freedom feels like? You can never truly understand this overwhelming feeling of absolute emancipation unless and until you are an ex-Muslim like me. Yes, I am an apostate of Islam, and I am so proud to be able to finally announce it to the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To tell you the truth, I have never really been a good Muslim, because I have always been a very good human being. I guess everyone but the Muslims would know that a good human being is always a bad Muslim and vice versa, because the two can never go together. I always loved all human beings and never judged anyone based on their religion, unlike the teachings of Quran, which says we are not supposed to befriend non-Muslims and we are supposed to slay them wherever we find them. That is clearly mentioned in the 9th sura.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking of which, I have to admit that I never liked the teachings of that so-called holy book, and it always made me feel helpless and sad. I wanted and wished fervently that all the people in the world would live happily in peace and not make religion a bone of contention among them. But the situation always got worse, and 9 times out of 10, the Muslims were responsible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After 9/11, I seriously started to doubt my beliefs, but I never had the guts or the courage to face them until I came across my friend, my savior and my mentor Ali Sina just a few months ago. He has changed my outlook of life and he really opened up my eyes to the false and evil cult of Islam, which I had been blindly following for the last 35 years, albeit halfheartedly. It is not that I wasn't aware of the evil of Islam, because I had been fairly well acquainted with the works of accomplished and judicious writers like Robert Spencer, Pamela Geller, Daniel Pipes and Raymond Ibrahim, but they were not Muslims, so somewhere deep down inside, I always ended up giving Mohammed the messenger of Allah the benefit of the doubt. It was only when I suddenly stumbled upon Ali Sina's website and subsequently his book "Understanding Mohammed" that actually made me wake up to this harsh reality. The truth hurts, as they say, so when I realized for the first time that Islam was actually a hoax, it broke me down completely. It took me a while to come to terms with it; I went through several stages like denial and anger, but finally I have come to the acceptance stage. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have stopped praying completely since 28th of October 2011, so it has just been almost two months now but I have to admit, I have never felt so peaceful and relaxed in my life. I don't have to wake up every morning at unearthly hours to pray fajar or make time at work to pray zuhar and asar. I don't have to miss my favorite show on TV because its time for Magreb. I can now go to bed at any time I want at night without having to make sure I pray Isha before I sleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A lot of changes have taken place in my life, which I would explicate in the weeks to come, but for now, let's toast to new beginnings. Till next week, here is wishing you all a Merry Christmas.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4793384866525609075-322706756911053772?l=liberatednow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/feeds/322706756911053772/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/2011/12/liberated.html#comment-form' title='87 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4793384866525609075/posts/default/322706756911053772'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4793384866525609075/posts/default/322706756911053772'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberatednow.blogspot.com/2011/12/liberated.html' title='Liberated'/><author><name>Liberated One</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12033054482768383889</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>87</thr:total></entry></feed>
