“Robert Spencer incarnates intellectual courage when, all over the world, governments, intellectuals, churches, universities and media crawl under a hegemonic Universal Caliphate’s New Order. His achievement in the battle for the survival of free speech and dignity of man will remain as a fundamental monument to the love of, and the self-sacrifice for, liberty.”

I don't give a damn abou this Abu Islam, but his "story" symbolizes what is a major aspect of Mo's creed, this being that it is the world religion which keeps intruding on all the world, the religion that just won't go away, the religion that is regularly aggrieved, the religion that is the control-freak among religions, the religion that is the equivalent of the crazy uncle in the family who sometimes has to be invited to family gatherings but, respecting whom, secretly, furtively, is wished dead by almost all other family members.
In short, Islam is the religious variation of the pain-in-the-ass family relative, i.e., the equivalent of the goofy, crazy uncle who just won't go away, that so many, including myself of course, desire to be no more But he (it) just won't go away. Damn, he (it) just won't. He (it) is still stickin' around for another family gathering even though he (it) is the turd in the punch bowl. And so mankind is stuck with this monstrosity of a religion---yet again for the upteenth time.
Hey, all you Muslims out there, including you Muslim rubes (never mind the Armstrong and Esposito dhimmi apologists type) who think Islam can still come into the modern world, do you ever really, I mean REALLY, attempt to comprehend what a burden your religion is to all of us and how, no way, it can't be reformed? Bet most of you don't, probably none of you do---and even those of you who might, the Manjis and Jassers out there, I have a question for you. Here it is: What good does Islam offer that can't be found elsewhere and, for Christ's sake, will you just look at all the shit Islam offers which makes life harder for the rest of us and can't be found most anywhere else?
Done here. For now.
