1. Mohammed is an example for all men throughout time, except when he sleeps with a nine year old, in which case his actions have to be viewed in their “cultural context.”
2. Islam is the worlds most “abstract and spiritual of religions,” even though it comes burdened with hundreds of nit-picking laws which intrude on every aspect of a person’s life.
3. Islam is about equality and brotherhood, but under Islamic law, Women and non-muslims are treated like second class citizens.
4. Islam “protects” women by imposing standards of modesty, but uses those same standards as an excuse to harass women who choose not to wear it, or wear it incorrectly, (based on the opinion of the “modesty police.”)
5. There is no compulsion in religion, but if you decide to leave Islam, you are subject to the death penalty.
6. Mohammed was mild and forgiving, even when he had his critics assassinated.
7. Muslims worship the same G-d as the Jews and the Christians, despite the fact that Jews and Christians are unclean and should never be trusted or befriended.
8. The Jizyah is simply the “non-muslims share of the tax burden,” even when it becomes so burdensome that non-muslims are made to feel “subdued and humiliated,” and are forced to convert to support themselves.
9. Islam is all about self-governance, even though virtually every Islamic country is ruled through dictatorship or monarchy.
10. The Quran is full of scientific miracles, even though Islamic countries never excel at science or invent anything new or original.
11. Mohammed simply continued the revelations of Jesus and the other prophets, even though Jesus said “do unto others as you would have done to you,” “let him who is without sin cast the first stone,” and “my kingdom is not of this world,” while Islam orders its followers to wage war against Dar al Harb until everyone Submits, legislates unequal treatment based on one’s sex and religion, and stones adulterers.
12. All Islamic wars are defensive, even when they take place in front of the gates of Vienna, Austria.
13. All acts of Islamic terrorism are the work of isolated lunatics who have hi-jacked a peaceful religion, even though the Ummah always reacts violently, as a single body, over perceived insults.
