Islam Ever Vigilant

  • Islam has a strong history of isolating, harassing, hunting down and even killing apostates.
  • Examples: Rushdie, Ali, Warraq and thousands more.
  • The tactic is quick and fierce reaction at any sign of apostasy which generates certain fear.
  • Most prominent westernized Muslims live with body guards and security systems - 24/7
  • Fatwas are issued to kill them as Ayatollah Khomenei did for Rushdie's death.

Such mindless and ruthless attitudes cannot be adequately comprehended by westerners who grew up in a diametrically opposed moral paradigm. You cannot defend the indefensible just as you cannot comprehend the incomprehensible. But you can and must acknowledge its existence and its threat and, therefore, you must resolve to oppose it. If Ahmadinijad's comment at Columbia that Iran has no gays doesn't say enough to convince you of Islam's loathsome intractability, what will it take?
