I have been reading Dr. Sanity for some time and I find that I am in agreement with her point of view. She provides a good psychological summary of the motivations of Islamists and their supporters. In this article Dr. Sanity summarizes reasons for the rejection of Islam.
In an ideal world, I shouldn't even have to say it, but Islam has forced me to explicitly and loudly state that I absolutely, thoroughly and unequivocally reject Islam as it is currently practiced. What follows is not an exhaustive list, but let me touch on some of the highlights that form the basis of my rejection:
1. If we are going to talk about oppression, shall I begin with the ubiquitous institutionalized oppression and humiliation of women in Muslim society? Detractors claim that the Quran does not foster this attitude, but witness the devaluation of women; the sexual fear of women; the incarceration of women; the infantilization of women; the social marginalization of women, etc. etc.
2. The overt and institutionalized anti-semitism in Islam, that is frankly paranoid and of psychotic proportions.
3. The assumption of the victim role while actively victimizing other religious groups. This is the entire psychological manipulation involved in the cries of "Islamophobia !"
4. The hypocritical call for tolerance, while promoting intolerance and bigotry among its own adherents.
5. The glorification of death rather than life.
6. The fostering of mindless obedience and punishment of independent thinking.
7. The poverty of ideas and rational thought among its leaders.
8. The inability to condemn unequivocally the barbaric acts done in the name of Islam.
9. The fact that Islamists would force their religion on me, if they could.
Each of these points are highly relevant as to how we should see the excuses that are used to support a political system that is extremely oppressive towards those who refuse to follow in the same psuedo-religious lifestyle. One of the main reasons that I reject Islam is that they cry victim when in fact they are the ones who are victimizing others on a daily basis. On top of that, even when it is one of their own who has blown up a mosque they try to blame either Israel or the USA. However, the most logical reason to reject Islam is the glorification of death over life, and as a result they have harmed the spiritual lives of billions of people. Every suicide bomber has only one fate that awaits them, for these fools have been promised a heaven that does not exist. Yes, I do believe in the existence of Heaven in the next life, and yes I believe in God. I reject the Islamic version of God and I reject their master/servant relationship to God. The God that I acknowledge loves me as a Father loves His child. This is not apparent in Islam, instead God is vengeful. 1.
