Why I Reject Muslim Values

Here is another one of those articles we have seen since repeatedly since the beginning of the GWOT--this one from the Guardian- that basically says the same old, same old; i.e., that Muslims are justified in rejecting British society because of (1) oppression; (2) poverty; (3)the Iraq War; and/or (4)Britain’s institutionally racist society:"Why Muslims Reject British Values" (hat tip: LGF)

These assertions have been debunked over and over again, so I am not about to waste any more time on them just because another silly Marxist has been given a platform in the MSM.

However, the title of the piece prompted me to analyze why I reject Muslim values--absolutely, thoroughly and unequivocally. While this is not an exhaustive list, 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.

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 you would force your religion on me, if you could.

As I said, the list is not exhaustive. There are many more reasons why I have come to my intense rejection of this particular religion. As I have stated in a previous post:

I DON'T CARE ABOUT ISLAM except insofar that people of that faith want to destroy me, my family, my country and my way of life. For more than 50 years of my life, Islam and I got along famously. I completely ignored it; and praise be to Allah, it completely ignored me.

After September 11th, I no longer had that option.

And if you want to understand why Marxists, communists, socialists, and your sundry other totalitarian-loving groups support and enable Islamic terrorism, read the explanation in the Guardian article above as to why we should blame ourselves for their barbaric and religiously-motivated behavior.

In case you were wondering, I also firmly reject the values of any collectivist, authoritarian purveyor of the Marxist class struggle, who enjoys fanning the flames of racism while surrepticiously resorting to it himself.
