Islam, The Truth of the Matter

Only the most delusional would fail to recognize the truth of the matter. For all intents and purposes,  Islamic terrorism is behind yet another massacre. This time the slaughter took place in Nice, France. Is this more evidence of a peaceful religion? President Obama needs to call this what it is and not what he wishes it would be. Both President Obama and Hillary Clinton have denied the truth about Islam far too long. In its purest form Islam is not a peaceful religion. It is based on a dogma that is part and parcel to its belief system. Although these people sometimes talk of fear of Allah or read the Quran regularly, they do so merely as part of this dogma. Their recitation of the Quran is purely some foreign words they utter in their deception.

Is this commentary critical of Islam, the religion? I believe the Islamic faith and its belief system has warranted worldwide criticism and denunciation for the actions of many of its proponent’s past and present barbaric behavior/conducts. Objects of criticism include the morality of the life of Muhammad, the last law bearing prophet of Islam, both in his public and personal life. Issues relating to the authenticity and morality of the Qur'an, the Islamic holy book. Other criticisms focus on the question of  human rights in modern Islamic nations, and the treatment of women in Islamic law and practice. In wake of the recent multiculturalism trend, Islam's influence on the ability of Muslim immigrants in the West to assimilate has been and should be criticized. Is classical Islamic law not to be disparaged when the penalty for apostasy is death? Death for leaving a religion seems to this writer somewhat cruel and archaic.
