“A Kafir is a religious pariah in Islam
just like an untouchable is an unwanted social construct in Hinduism. No amount
of apple polishing can make these two horribly objectionable terms look decent
and acceptable. So is Jihad. How can a war that eliminates lives be righteous
and is never intelligible to a sane person?”
-The
late human rights activist, special reporter of the UNHRC and critic of Islam,
Asma Jahangir

Despite a retinue of full-time apologists for
Islam glossing over the discrepancies in the Qura'n and whitewashing the terms
like ' Jihad ' and ' Kafir ', the pristine connotations of these two words are
still palpably intact.
ISIS-sponsored Coimbatore suicide bomber
Jamesha Mubeen's hatred for the infidels ( Kafir) and his insistence on waging
a 'holy' war ( Jihad) can easily be adduced as proofs that a section of Muslims
across the world are supporters of Jihad and annihilators of Infidels.
That an 'educated' mechanical engineer can
perpetrate such a heinous crime is no longer surprising to the rest of the
world if the perpetrator happens to be a Muslim!
There're close to 10 Major faiths, scores of
quasi-faiths, religious sects and sub-sects but barring Islam, followers of no
other religions will detonate himself/herself in the name of a religion which
they think to be the only genuine faith. The Tamil Tigers did initiate the
technique of suicide bombing and tried it for the first time on former Indian
Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, but they never quoted scriptures to justify their
violent actions. What Muslims do is absolute madness. These addled brains swear
by Quran's spurious and unambiguously violent verses and desecrate the world.
Years ago, a Muslim professor of Theology
at Kaslik University in Jounieh, Lebanon, told me that he had no beef against
Allah. He did have faith in a power which, he believed, was regulating the
whole universe. But he had an aversion to the Qura'n, Hadees (Muhammad's
purported sayings) and the very man, Muhammad, who spread Islam.
So very true! The Qura'n, Hadees and the
persona of Muhammad are the roots of all Islamic violence and terrorism. It's
worthwhile to mention that this Coimbatore suicide bomber continuously read the
Koran. And see, what he did!
Needless to say, of course, there are 1.8 billion
Muslims and almost all of them read the Quran, Hadees and the Prophet's
biography including the history of battles in which he participated. However,
Islamic terrorists quote scriptures and history to justify their violence.
There are terrorists in every religion but none of them quotes scriptures to
justify violence, though it will not be difficult to do so.
How can Islam or for that matter, any damn
useless faith, influence humans so pathologically as well as overwhelmingly is
a subject neurologist and evolutionary biologists have been working on for
decades.
The bodies of suicide bombers are blown
into smithereens in self-triggered explosions. Yet, their handlers and
dishonest maulvis inculcate in their brains that the omnipotent Allah will piece
them together for the most exquisite houries ready to make love to these
shuhada (righteous martyrs). These mutton-headed 'martyrs' needn't wait for
Roz-e-Qayamat, as the moment their bodies are blown off, they get a brand new
and youthful body, thanks to a quick manufacturer called Allah, who will bestow
upon them everlasting virility to have an eternally priapic existence in the
Firdaus ( Paradise). Allah hu Akbar! Or rather Astaghfarullah!
It's time for Muslims to introspect and
realize that the rest of the world is not always wrong in condemning this faith
and its followers. There're very valid reasons for this condemnation.
