Support for Israel is why they murder?

Osama bin Laden cited America's support for Israel and defiling of the Cradle of Islam as the reason and justification for the attacks on 9/11.

While this excuse may play well in Pakistan, Riyadh, and Gaza, the actions of these self-proclaimed jihadis reveal that they murder people for the usual reasons: power, money, and hatred.

Spain was not a supporter of Israel, yet jihadis bombed their trains.

India did not support Israel, yet the extremists bombed their trains.

Russia does not support Israel, but muslim separatists killed hundreds of people in Beslan and Moscow.

They are killing fellow muslims in bombings and shootings in Iraq, Indonesia, Pakistan, Egypt, Lebanon, and Afghanistan.

The Palestinians (a name adopted from a defunct tribe who once lived in the region) are killing each other for power and money. If peace and freedom were their goals, they would have already had a Palestinian state. They chose not to have a state because then they would be responsible for the consequences of terrorism.

In this blog, I will no doubt infuriate moderate muslims who don't deserve insult. To them, I offer my humble apologies, but I cannot stand silent nor fear fatwa. I have read the Qur'an and see no truth in it. While the stories of other religions are filled with incredible metaphors and miracles, the Qur'an reads like a poorly written comic book for uneducated people.

Case in point, the title of this blog: the prophet Muhammed (pig shit be upon him) is said to have ridden from Mecca to Jerusalem (it is believed) and back again upon the back of Buraq, a magical white flying pony. Buraq's stride stretched from one horizon to the next. A seemingly intelligent creature, it trembled at the sight of the prophet (pig shit be upon him). If God exists, he is doubtless powerful. But an all-poweful God sending a magic flying pony to carry his most beloved prophet (pig shit be upon him) when he could have just transported him there instantaneously, is more than I can believe.

Jesus (Isa) healed the sick, raised the dead, and was resurrected after his death. Moses parted the waters of the Red Sea. These may truly be miracles from God (of whom I have no personal knowledge) or they may be metaphors. I don't know. I have my doubts.

Islam demands humility before Allah, but harbors arrogance and contempt for all kafirs (non-believers). I am no expert on my own former religion, so I embark upon this exercise to lend my voice in protest and learn more in the process. I would tolerate this religion's existence if it tolerated my existence and the existence of other religions and treated people with respect.

Is Islam any worse than the Roman Empire, the Spanish Inquisition, the Buddhist conquest of Japan, or the Mormon massacre at Mountain Meadow? Probably not. But the difference is that all those other religions rejected violence a very long time ago. Islam, the religion of my birth but not of my heart, is still mired in the Middle Ages fighting wars of conquest, oppressing women, and murdering innocent people in the name of Allah.

Their god is not great. Their prophet (pig shit be upon him), was a child rapist and a con man who created a religion based on lies and hatred.

America now has a new president with ambiguous policies toward Israel and the Middle East. He will clearly adopt a less aggressive strategy than the previous leader. How will the jihadis regard him?

Barack Obama, like me, is an apostate who was born a muslim and is now a Christian - the greatest crime of Islam. Obama has also appointed, in his first act as president-elect, a raving Zionist and Israeli soldier as his chief of staff: Rahm Emmanuel.

In Obama's ranks are millions of people who oppose Israel's aggression against the Palestinians. They opposed the wars against Saddam Hussein and, yes, even against the Taliban (though they won't admit it). Those supporters proudly waved Palestinian flags in their "peace" rallies.

What will they make of this new president? Will we see another 9/11 as bin Laden has promised to test this young, new leader?

America may be vulnerable to attack, but the Japanese and Germans learned that one should never awaken the sleeping giant of America. Even in the depths of the Great Depression, America had a lust for war and an uncanny ability to wage it successfully. Americans surrender easily when fighting for the sake of other people in an uncertain cause, but they are ruthless and determined when avenging their own blood. The guilty terrorists and innocent bystanders in the muslim world should tremble at their approach. Once America's sword has been drawn, it is returned to its scabbard only after it has been bathed in blood. Excessive pride and false faith in Allah does not stop 30mm depleted uranium rounds.

I'm tired of war. I'm tired of seeing millions die in the Middle East and Africa not because of some perceived American imperialism, but because of muslim hatred, cruelty, and violence.

It's time to bring peace to the "Religion of Peace".
