VIRGINS AND OPIUM

By Godfrey Pereira
Today, the 11th of November is Veterans Day.
At Fort Hood Texas, they are mourning the murdered. Major Nadal Malik Hasan, a licensed psychiatrist and drug and rehab. specialist in The US Army murdered Thirteen people and an Unborn child. That is Fourteen lives extinguished. He screamed "Allahu Akbar," before he commenced the slaughter. There is no doubt that Islamic beliefs provoked his actions. It is stated that he did not want to go to Afghanistan because of the possibility of killing other Muslims.
If for arguments sake, Afghanistan was a Christian country, would that have been alright with Major Nadal Malik Hasan? You can bet your last Terrorist Riyal that Major Hasan would have gone to Afghanistan to fight The Infidels.
Political Correctness states that Islam Is A Religion Of Peace.
Insult my Prophet or God and I will kill you, seems to be the universal Islamic norm.
Here are just two examples.
Mohammed Bouyeri murdered Theodoor "Theo" van Gogh in the early morning of 2 November 2004, in Amsterdam. Why? Van Gogh’s film Submission, analyzed the treatment of women in Islam. Theodoor was the great-grandson of Theo Van Gogh, who was the brother of artist Vincent van Gogh.
Salman Rushdie published The Satanic Verses in September 1988.
On 14 February 1989, a fatwā requiring Rushdie's execution was proclaimed on Radio Tehran by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the spiritual leader of Iran at the time. The Islamic world believed that the novel sketched an irreverent depiction of the prophet Muhammad.
And of course, there are the thousands of suicide bombers.
What kind of God seeks MURDER as an appeasement; whatever be the insult or injury? If all this is un-Islamic and against Koranic teachings, why are the Great Mullahs and Grand Ayatollahs all over the World silent? Why are The Majority of so called peaceful Muslims silent? Why are all the Islamic Republics of the world silent?
And Finally: What kind of God offers Virgins for murder?
For once, Karl Marx is right: "Die Religion ... ist das Opium des Volkes"
Prologue:
The Islamic World does not like America. We are aware of that.
America is not a perfect country, we Americans know that.
“A Holy War” is an Oxymoron. The Islamic World, it seem, is unaware of that glaring contradiction. That is the reason, Islam spawns Major terrorists like Nadal Malik Hasan.
