Response to a Muslim

I recently posted regarding my feelings about 'The religion of peace'. Normally Islamists don't bother responding to Atheists as they have bigger fish to fry and perhaps have realized the futility of doing so, but I did get a response today from a student in Jordan. You can read his comments in the previous post.

It is the basic form response from Muslims who don't wish to or cannot threaten you with death or kill you for insulting Islam, due to the geographical unavailability of your throat from their hands or other limits on their ability to respond. If you don't care to read his response I can encapsulate it for you: You are a fool. Allah is the ONE GOD. You don't know anything about Islam. Islam has a great history. I hope Allah shows you the ONE WAY. Yadda, yadda, yadda.

Here is my reply:

Dear Mr Shiroqou,

Had your response been just a bit more predictable - like most 'cookie cutter' responses that unthinking Islamists write - I might have thought it was a joke.

First, I am not an Islamist. I will never be an Islamist. So Allah has jack shit to do with me. He is YOUR God and belief in him and his prophet will probably lead you to a very miserable life of semi-poverty, denial of your humanity and will no doubt have a negative effect on others you come into contact with. But Islam will never effect what I do, or say or how I behave. So you may want to get past the notion that your belief in Allah has any bearing over me.

Do you realize how automated and memorized your repsonse sounded? It is the same response you see over and over again from Islamists when they react to infidels. I have seen the videos of Muslim children in school, memorizing the Koran as they trance-like rock forward and backward. Are you really that brain-washed? Do your teachers in university make you memorize this little speach about Islam when you are confronted with an unbeliever who does not fear you? How different would your response be if we were face to face? How would you handle an Infidel, an Atheist no less, disputing the words of Allah in Jordan where you live?

You see, your words about Islam being so great and wonderful are just what we call Bull Shit around here Mr Shiroqou. We don't wear blinders you know. We see what Islam does in the countries that it controls. We see how women are treated, murdered by their families, hanged for supposed infidelity. We have eyes and can see the TRUTH of what an Islamic world would be like and we don't like it.

As far as the history of Islam goes, it is littered with blood, conquest and atrocities just as Christian history is. The difference is that Islam is STILL committing those atrocities and looks to continue to do so until it brings about your own destruction or takes over the world. BTW, the later option is NOT going to happen, Mr Shiroqou (one less Muslim youth wet dream).

So please save your tired and old B.S. about Islam for some poor convert to some other religion. I am an ATHEIST. My eyes have been opened to the foolishness of all religions. One would only need half of one eye opened to see the lunacy of your religion, Islam.
