The true nature of Islam is revealed in its sacred texts and its history. But, there is another Islam–Official Islam–that has been revealed by Obama in Cairo. He made official what the media, politicians (including Bush) and the universities have pushed since 9/11.
Here are the major points of Official Islam:
· Islam is a religion similar to Christianity and Judaism. They all worship the same god.
· Good Muslims prove that Islam is good
· There are no jihadists, just extremists
· Islam must be accommodated in as many ways as possible
· One of the proofs of Islam’s greatness is the Islamic Golden Age, humanity’s best days
· Violence by Muslims is due to their being poor and abused
· Islam gave the West its basis for our intellectual world
· The Crusades were a great evil by Christians
· There are moderate Muslims and a few extremist Muslims
· “Extremists” cause the violence
· Islam is found in the Koran (never discuss Mohammed)
· The “bad stuff” in the Koran is only due to its interpretation
· Good Muslims will reform the “extremists”
· Islam is the religion of tolerance
· Islam has a Golden Rule
· Islam is the religion of freedom and justice
But the official version of Islam is a *Big Lie. The fact that the Official Islam does not agree with the Koran, Sira and Hadith is of no importance, since it is not based upon them. Official Islam is based upon the propaganda of the Muslim Brotherhood. Not one line of the Official Islam is totally true and many of the points are complete fabrications.
At best, some assertions are partially true. A half-truth is a lie. When you testify in our courts you have to swear an oath: I swear to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
Official Islam is not only made up of half-truths, but it also has points that contain no truth, e.g. Islam is the religion of tolerance, so it contains both half-truths and total lies. There is not a single statement in it that it completely true. It is a Big Lie.
Anyone who does not agree with these points is labeled a bigot and will be condemned by all of the official non-bigots, those who believe the Big Lie. The oddest thing is that they make moral judgments about those who do not believe. They say that if you don’t believe in the Big Lie, you are a bigoted Islamophobe.
Official Islam cannot be proven and is delivered by “authorities.” It is based upon authoritarian thinking–believe it because those who have more power that you say it is true. We must use truth and critical/scientific thinking to destroy the Big Lie of Official Islam. Official Islam is the mind of denial and delusion. As long as you believe Official Islam, you will never learn about the Islam found in the Koran, Sira and Hadith–the true Islam.
* BIG LIE: Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, Houghton Mifflin Co., Boston, MA, 1971, pgs. 231, 232.
All this was inspired by the principle–which is quite true in itself–that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying.

I have been reading all of your posts and wonder if we all know something is innately wrong with Islam as it is presented by the extremists but what about the fall of the Golden Age of Islam to where it is today. Is Islam today where Christainity was during the ‘Holy Inquistion’…Are today’s moderate/tolerant/educated/compasionate Muslims ready to bring their religion into the 21st century or not? I mean I struggle with being a Christian because of the hypocrisy based thinking of my religion but I won’t die if I disagree. I remember that this IS A Religion created and taught by people of ‘authority’. These people who deceive us in their ‘authority’ are called in the
Bible ‘FALSE PROPHETS’. If Muslims, Christians and Jews are going to get along we must remember GOD INSPIRES US with HIS morality by HIS WORD in the Koran, Bible and Torah. We are brothers and sisters with very disfunctional family members…Are REAL PEACEFUL MUSLIMS not empowered by this or are they held captive as alot of Christians were during the Inquistion by FEAR of retaliation. I believe we should all get together and have a BRING YOUR OWN BELIEFS (OR BYOB)PEACE COOKOUT DAY:) GOD’S PEACE AND LOVE TO ALL WHO READ THIS- TS

The difference is that “Official Islam” is nothing but a lie to hide the truth about real Islam. Political Correctness spouts official Islam either from ignorance or from dhimmitude. Real Islam is 7th century fascism and the sooner it is confronted and destroyed the better. We had better wake up or so-called western civilization will end up in the historical dustbin.

Re. Michael Wall
The comparison between mahammedansim and judaism doesn’t really fly. for several reasons.
1) Ancient oppressive and destructive practices have fallen completely out of observance among the Jews — and this consciously and quite deliberately. It is not universally the case among the mohammedans. Large segments of the mohammedan population quite deliberately and openly still practice many of the most bloody and savage dictates of their doctrine and culture.
2) There is a great deal of forward-looking normative instruction to commit violence in the mohammedan canon, which is simply not the case in the bible, talmud or what have you. The violence in the bible is almost entirely historical and backward looking in nature. What little isn’t has been pretty much overtly abandoned by the rabbinate.
3) There is no “official” judaism — that is to say a presentation of judaism promoted by the governing elites of the world. The various forms of judaism simply are what they are and present themselves thus. There really is no difference.
That there is a difference between ancient scriptural canon and current interpretation and practice among the Jews is in no way comparable to the fact that mohammedans practice and understand one set of ethical standards on the turf they control and present and entirely different, and false, view of their doctrine to outsiders.
But in any case,”official” mohammedanism goes much further than the dishonesty (including the wishful self deception) of mohammedans. It refers to a doctrine promoted by the poliitical and cultural elites around the globe.
===============
BTW I find the constant comparison between mohammedanism and judaism intensely offensive.
It is, at it’s psychological base, a completely corrupt and corrupting attempt to arrogate to the destructive mohammedans the productive and cultural accomplishments of the Jews, and to blame the Jews for the constant predations by mohammedans around the world on their non-mohammedan neighbors.
I am deeply repelled by minds that make this comparison as though it were meaningful or relevant to the subject.
Even if the Jews were every bit as vicious and destructive as the mohammedans (something which has never been true in the sweep of human history, and never will be) it would be irrelevant to the question of whether or not the mohammedans themselves are destructive and dishonest.
So what we have here is something that is not merely offensive and false, but offensive, false and which would be irrelevant if it were true.
In other words, the normal mental distortion trick of trying to derail the conversation rather than participate honestly.

I will not pretend that I am an expert in Islam, although I have met and interacted with many Muslims. My question is about your statement that ‘Official Islam’ differs from The Koran. Well, yeah. So does Judaism. I’d be happy to release my slaves in the Year of Jubilee, but slavery is wrong and no society overtly argues otherwise. Polygamy? Sacrifices? In Judaism the Rabbis made rules that are observed in addition to the Torah. If jews lived today by just what we saw in that sacred book, we would be seen as backward, if not overly violent. (I think of specifically of the rape of Dinah, Jacob’s daughter.) I say of course Islam today is not exactly what the Koran states. My question is why anyone would be surprised.
