I think it differs most from what we typically think of as a religion in that it doubles as a system of law and government.

ISLAM is not a religion, in the sense that Westerners understand the word 'religion'.

ISLAM is a ruthless, 'mono-cultural' political system.





Is Islam a Religion?

ASK YOURSELF...

Why is it that the Lovers Of Sharia [LOS] will embrace multiculturalism,
.....in non-ISLAMIC countries?

BUT, WHY IS IT..... that in ISLAMIC countries, like, Pakistan, Egypt, Jordan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, etc, LOS always seem to *expunge* all the 'multicultural rights' of all other cultural groups???

And don't let the LOS mislead you,
....this *oppression* of non-LOS, by LOS [in *their own* jurisdictions], is all *sanctioned by Sharia* [their laws], and ISLAMIC religious texts.

LOS are taught by their own 'religion', that all non-LOS people, are inferior to LOS.

And they are taught that it is against Allah's law, and a great sin against LOS, for non-LOS people to govern, and make LOS subject to secular laws.



And i am always amazed that so few Aussies question this reality [the political realities within Sharia jurisdictions].

And that so few Aussies are prepared to challenge the absolute duplicity, of those LOS who reside in Australia, in *misrepresenting* ISLAM, as a [peaceful] culture.

JAHILIYYA  [un-ISLAMIC lifestyle]

ISLAM in its 'religious' doctrines, demands intolerance of 'unbelief', and the Jahiliyya lifestyle.



FROM AN ISLAMIC SITE,

"THE RIGHT TO JUDGE"
"It is not the function of Islam to compromise with the concepts of Jahiliyya
which are current in the world
or to co-exist in the same land together with a jahili system........"
by SAYYID QUTB
http://www.islamworld.net/justice.html


"....Jahiliyya is a result of the lack of Sharia law, without which Islam cannot exist;"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jahiliyya#Jahiliyya_in_contemporary_society

Did you get that?

What it means, is that ISLAM has determined, that ISLAM cannot [effectively] exist without muslims having, and imposing the authority of Sharia law - upon all [both muslims, and non-muslims].

All non-muslims must be brought under the authority of muslims, and Sharia.

This is ISLAMIC doctrine.

ISLAM and its laws, are all about the direction of secular, raw *political* power.


On any reasonable appraisal of what ISLAM is, its doctrines, ISLAM is clearly a fascist political philosophy,
....and not a religion.


ISLAM IS NOT ABOUT THE PASSIVE *WORSHIP*, OF A SUPREME BEING.

But let's keep on topic - Is Christianity a religion?

By this definition: "a set of beliefs and practices organized around supernatural and moral claims, and codified as prayer, ritual, and religious law"

Well - Christianity is a diverse set of practices and beliefs, not all of which are consistent, and each denomination think every other denomination is going to hell.

Even Synod Lutherans think that Lutherans are going to hell.

Christianity is rather a diverse collection of religions.

Right, so in summary,  Islam is not a religion, Christianity is not a religion, Atheism is a religion, and I'm the Pope.
