It is my opinion that a true Islamic nation cannot be progressive. I used a sarcastic statement not to support anything, but merely to point out the hypocricy of an Islamic state spending millions to bill itself as a truly progressive
nation while teaching the following religious passages to all Saudi high school students:
Studies in Theology: Tradition and Morals, Grade 11, (2001) pp. 291-92 ...This noble [Qur'anic] Surah [Surat Muhammad]... deals with questions of which the most important are as follows: 'Encouraging the faithful to perform jihad in God's cause, to behead the infidels…
"Surahs of Muhammad, Al-Fath, Al-Hujurat and Qaf, Grade 11, (2002) p. 9 …When you meet them in order to fight [them], do not be seized by compassion [towards them] but strike the[ir] necks powerfully, cutting the neck and making the organ [the head of the body] fly off [the body].' "
I have yet to hear a muj yell "take that for my Chechen homeland" "come on lads this is for Pakistan" no, let me think, what is it they yell in religious context??? Allah something or other. (biting sarcasm - no other point intended)
The fact is I choose to believe them when they say that they want Islam to dominate the world, and consume the non-believers, and I have seen how they are preparing. It is a long game to them, and they do what they do for their future generations, not just today. I believe they really mean it when they issue religious edicts, and yes I still believe we are at war with a religion. I hope to God I'm wrong and I'll be the first to post here if so. But in reality I believe our grandchildren will be having this same ole conversation in years to come.
