You should. Have you ever read the Quran or Hadith, the authorities Islam is founded upon? They're the most flagrant hate literature on earth. If you're not a devout Arab Muslim male, you're on the list.
Black? Let's see. The word for black person is abeed, literally, slave. The hadith disparage 'raisin heads', Bukhari 1:11:664. Dreams of black women with nappy hair are an omen of plague, Bukhari 9:87:163. Not racist enough for you yet? You can find a sampling of even more racist hadiths here. My favorites include, Allah making black people to go to hell, Ibn Ishaq 374, and that anyone who says Muhammad was black should be killed, Mishkat vol 3, p. 117. The hadith read like neo-Nazi literature for Arabs.
Jew? The Quran has more antisemitic sentiment statistically than Mein Kampf. Actually, Mein Kampf is a top seller among Muslims. There just seems to be something about Islam that ingrains people with the idea Jews are Shaytan. I wonder... Could it be the scriptures themselves? But of course I'm being cheeky. See Bukhari 9:84:58.
Christian? Apparently Jesus was replaced on the cross, and you're a polytheist. At first, the Quran likes you, because you're not as proud as the Jews, but later, you're both supposed to convert, pay the Jizyah, or get the sword. There's lots of verses in the Quran about Jews and Christians, but Sura 98:6 says Lo! those who disbelieve, among the People of the Scripture [Jews and Christians] and the idolaters, will stay in fire of hell. They are the worst of created beings.
Non-Abrahamic faith, atheist, agnostic, or ask too many questions? Become a Muslim right this instant or die. See Bukhari 9:84:57 for the preferred method for offing atheists specifically.
Not the same denomination of Muslim? Bukhari 9:84:59. Abu Bakr said, "By Allah! I will fight whoever differentiates between prayers and Zakat as Zakat is the right to be taken from property (according to Allah's Orders). By Allah! If they refused to pay me even a kid they used to pay to Allah's Apostle, I would fight with them for withholding it." 'Umar said, "By Allah: It was nothing, but I noticed that Allah opened Abu Bakr's chest towards the decision to fight, therefore I realized that his decision was right."
And when the sacred months have passed (the treaty the Muslims had with the non-believers), then kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they should repent, establish prayer, and give zakah (almost like a tax), let them [go] on their way. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. Sura 9:5.
Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture - [fight] until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled. Sura 9:29. So if you don't adopt Sharia law, you get terror attacks? Hmm...
A recurring theme is the convert or die schtick. If interested, start researching the sword verses, of which there are over 100. They'll blow the doors off the idea Islam was ever a religion of peace.
And before anyone starts screaming IS isn't really Islamic (irony much?), or immigrants are turning to them because they're mistreated by the countries they immigrate to, um, no. You don't become a terrorist for a devout Islamic organization without being a devout Muslim. The entire premise of these organizations is to train up impressionable young men and women for jihad, to kill anyone who isn't a devout Muslim, and establish a Muslim theocracy, not to harbor pansies who are afraid to be Muslim, kind of like the premise of Islam in the first place.
O Prophet! strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be unyielding to them; and their abode is hell, and evil is the destination. Sura 9:73
Surely Allah has bought of the believers their persons, and their property for this, that they shall have the garden (go to heaven); they fight in Allah's way, so they slay and are slain. Sura 9:111.
Be ye not weary and fainthearted, crying for peace, when ye should be uppermost! Sura 47:35
These groups quote the Quran in context to support their atrocities as a sign to Muslims that they're the next Muhammad, ushering in a new era of Islamic purity. These terrorist groups are not just killing people for fun; it's Mohammedanism. It's really quite transparent.
Why do they do this, you might still ask? The book says so, and Muhammad says so, and they believe in them.
I won't get into specifics on how historical, redactive, and textual criticism by a wide range of scholars has completely refuted the classical narrative of the origins of Islam, but if interested, see this lecture for a summary of current research. In short, it's not looking very good for Muhammad, or even his alleged city, Mecca, which doesn't even appear on a map until centuries after his death, nor has ever been a hub of trade.
Scholars now know 70% of the Quran is borrowed from Syriac Christian sectarian and Jewish Apocryphal writings, and the rest has been written, rewritten, and redacted by the subsequent Caliphs, before finally being canonized in 1924. So, what we have is a highly corrupted text filled with unreliable history, calls to violence, built on colorism, and founded by the many times redacted political and theological attacks on the groups Arabs sought to subjugate. I really recommend that lecture. The manuscript evidence that has come out in the past couple years is damning.
What is the primary purpose of the Quran? To force people into submission. What's the easiest way to get an infinite supply of soldiers, sex slaves, and subordinates to submit to you? Convince them of a reward in heaven for their complete submission; make god in your image. This is exactly what we see in the Quran, with disastrous results.
What effect has Islam had on the world? Not very good.
19 million Africans were enslaved by Muslims. 90% died in transit, the males castrated, 15% survived castration, virtually no progeny surviving today. Islam has never dealt with its slavery. In fact, it's still alive and well today. Yazidis, anyone? Sura 4:24 condones sex slavery. 2 out of every three African slaves were female sex slaves.
90% of women in modern day Muslim countries suffer from domestic violence because of Sura 4:34, But those [wives] from whom you fear disobedience - advise them, forsake them in bed; and [finally], beat them. The word beat here is idribohunna, literally, scourge her. If this pisses you off, or you're a woman, don't worry, it gets much worse. You might find this interesting.
Millions of hindus, Christians, and Jews have been massacred in the name of Allah and still are today, as we see with this attack in New York, emulating the earlier Paris attack. They will continue.
Yet our government is somehow clueless to the motivations of extremists. The media thinks they can parrot "Islam is a religion of peace," and it will go away. Not so. The way you stop Islamic terrorism is not with bullets, bombs, and cruise missiles. Break their theology instead.
Subject the Quran to the same historical, textual, source, and redactive criticism the Bible has withstood. The Quran will fall apart, and the radicals will move on, probably to hinduism, with its equally classist, sexist, strange theology.
Also, please actually do your research. Under Sharia, apostasy = death.
