Once I left Iran, my battle with this dogma of hate and violence began. I decided to raise the clarion call about the imminent and present danger of expansionist, theocratic Islam throughout the civilized world. Having witnessed firsthand the horrors and indignity that Islamic doctrine visits on people it subjugates, I was determined to take it upon myself to do my part in defeating this ideology of oppression, hate and violence.
If Islam is not for you, then leave it and let it be, some may say. That may be the right thing to do in many situations in life — a sort of live and let live philosophy. But in this case, it is a grievous act to do so.
“To stand in silence when they should be protesting makes cowards out of men,” Abraham Lincoln said.
Being a free human exacts a price. “The price of freedom is eternal vigilance,” said Thomas Jefferson. Simply because Islam has not yet fully asserted itself in the United States of America, my adopted home, it does not mean we should stand down against this threat, abandon vigilance, and become complacent.
Simply put, if I let Islam be, Islam doesn’t let me be. Islam doesn’t live by the same rules of reciprocity. Islam doesn’t recognize my rights and the rights of all non-Muslims. The punishment to leave Islam is death.
“Kill whoever changes his religion.” Sahih al-Bukhari 9:84:57
The notion of apostasy in Islam is something we all need to understand. It is best understood within the overall Islamic dogma. Islam forms a binding covenant with the believer. Once a person is Muslim, he and his issue are considered Muslim forever. In this covenant, Islam promises to bestow its beneficence on the faithful, conditional on the person’s total and unquestioned surrender to it in all matters. Some of the rewards offered by Islam to the truly obedient believer, particularly privileged males, are of this world, as well as a great deal more promised to him in the next. If Muslim faithful do not reap the rewards of their devotion in this world, Islam assures them of their inestimable and limitlessly compounded rewards in the next world.
Regarding apostasy, the two main branches of Islam, the Sunni and the Shiite, are in considerable agreement. The great majority of Muslim scholars of both major camps agree that the Quran stipulates death for the apostate.
Islam is on the march, and it aims to destroy anything and anyone that stands in its way Sounding the clarion call is not Islamophobia, as many Muslims and their apologists claim. A phobia is a baseless irrational fear. Warning of the danger of Islam is based on irrefutable facts, and it is not only rational, it is ethically imperative.
The concept and practice of apostasy is a shameful stain on the conscience of humanity. It is despicable for any belief system to stubbornly cling to the dehumanizing anachronism of apostasy while its counterpart, slavery, is already buried in mankind’s graveyard of past infamy.
It is a virtue to take action to oppose the hateful, a vice to ignore it. It is a virtue to fight tyranny, misogyny, discrimination of all sorts, oppression, and all manner of violations of the legitimate rights of individuals and people. Islam is constantly mutating into a terrible menace. It is a belief of fascism, a destroyer of liberty and much of what free people cherish. Therefore, it must be confronted.
We need to make a note of the terms such as Islamism, Islamofascism, radical Islam, political Islam or militant Islam that are different terms for essentially the same thing: a virulent, hate-driven, and violent system of beliefs and practices. Yet one and all are progeny of Islam itself.
It is a systemic problem of Islam that inevitably gives rise to its so-called aberrant forms. The scripture of Islam supply the justification Muslims need to assault non-Muslims.

To all the Islam apologists and supporters (who probably know diddly squat about that false, heathen religion and its cross-dressing, pedophile prophet Muhammad), in my religion, Malsi, the only true religion, the almighty god Halla and the last and final prophet Dammahum (peace be on him) promise us Milsum believers that should we die fighting the infidels who will not bow a knee to Halla and accept Malsi, we will get 12 infidel Playmates of the Month of our choice in paradise.
This promise is recorded in our most holy and glorious book, the Narok which was reportedly spoken by an angel of Halla to Dammahum (peace be on him) himself and verbally passed down over time through the great Malsi teachers until such time as it could be put to paper and become the Narok. Additionally, if we chop off the head of an infidel politician or journalist the almighty Halla rewards us with an extra bonus of our choice of an infidel Playmate of the Year! Praise be to Halla!
All our Playmates will all be perpetual virgins, thanks to the great and powerful Halla who can do all things, and Halla will give the Milsum warriors of Dammahum, (peace be upon him) supernatural strength and stamina to service all of them daily. Halla is great! Praise be the mighty Halla!
The Malsi Party represents the true believers and Dammahum (peace be upon him) commands that we replace the infidel Constitution of the United States with the perfect Law of Airahs as spoken by Halla and recorded by Dammahum (peace be on him) in the perfect Narok.
DEATH to AMERICA!
Join us and follow Dammahum (peace be on him) or we will chop your heads off!

CogitoErgoSum says
Islam is the religion of Submission to Allah and Allah has decreed in the Quran that all who those who submit to being a Muslim should fight until all others submit also (Quran 9:29). Submission may take the form of converting to Islam, paying the Jizya to the Muslims so that they will not kill you (if you qualify for the Jizya), or submitting to death at the hands of the Muslims. There is no other option for the Muslims but to fight and there is no other option for those whom the Muslims must fight. This fight is to be taken to all mankind and it is to go on until ALL submit to the religion of Submission in one way or another. Islam makes us all part of this whether we want to be or not and forces the decision upon us, whether we like it or not, of choosing either acceptance of Submission or fighting it to the death.

“Kill whoever changes his religion” sahih al-bukhari 9:84:57
Kill:murder,commit intentional homicide.
What part of God’s official 6th Commandment{“thou shalt NOT kill”}revealed in Exodus 20
did Mr Bukhari and his allah the deceiver god of islam just NOT understand?
Intentional homicide of anybody is a sin AGAINST GOD!
It is also a violation of the 2nd chief commandment{found in Judaism and Christianity but of course MISSING in islam)to kill somebody merely for being an “apostate”.
By the sixth commandment,it is MURDER,a sin AGAINST GOD!
Jews understand the Law,Christians understand the Law,the 10+2 commandment system.
Of course,people sin against God and His laws are broken but the moral code which condemns
deliberate,intentional homicide stands.
Except it seems in islam.
It seems islam doesn’t understand the importance of OBEYING those Laws of God of Exodus 20.
The whole point of the Torah and God giving those laws to mankind via Moses was for
mankind to show OBEDIENCE to them and refrain from EVIL:not to warp them to do what is condemned as the koran preaches.
Since allah claims to be the author of the Bible in koran 3:3,how and why did allah miss these Laws?
In koran 10:94,allah tells muhammed to consult the “scripture that was before thee” i.e the Bible.
And what is in this Bible?
God’s laws which condemn Murder,Bearing false witness,adultery,stealing..:Laws which allah in his koran DISAGREES with!the koran claims to confirm the Bible{k3:3}:It does no such thing!
And the fact that God’s 2nd chief commandment is contradicted by allah in koran 5:51 speaks for itself..
J D S says
“Kill whoever Chang’s his religion”
These words alone should be enough to convict Islam and cause Islam to be made, by law, to become illegal in the U.S.
WHY HAS OUR LAW MAKERS NOT TAKEN ACTION ON THIS?
“Found no evidence” and “don’t want to offend” are taking us down a rocky road with death traps around every curve.
Lilith Wept says
But Islam doesn’t consider that murder, they consider it War.( Dar al Islam =Islam while Dar al Harb =the house of war, us non moslems) ….so it isn’t just it is permitted, it’s commanded …….Moslems are commanded to fight against the unbelievers until,there is no religion but Allah’s. Moslems are supposed to be at constant war with unbelievers…unless they simply can’t fight , don’t have the resources and ight loose if they fought….then that can make a temporary peace with the unbelievers,ievers , bjt just as long as it takes for the moslems to build back their strength, gather resources, then they can break that peace treaty wheever they like, preferably by surprise to catch the unbelievers off guard….( this is what Mohammed did and moslems follow his example we all know, )
But Allah is NOT the same deity as the God in the Bible , worshiped by Jews and Christians.
Allah wants slaves, never tells his followers he loves them, just he loves what they do …..wants his followers to submit, not to think or question….
God calls us his children , loves us, forgives us , wants us to use our free will so we can come to him ( or not) willingly, knowing what we do , and we are taught that questions are fine , God doesnt forbid questions about Him or what he wants us to do, or his Book
Ray Jarman says
Ms. Amil Imani has used the English language so succinctly to express her opposition to Islam. She has not ranted nor screamed but implored the rest of us to listen and understand the brutality of the cult. The world truly requires more advocates of freedom and love for all humanity like Ms. Imani to come forward and apprise the world of the danger and stench of Islam.
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Ray Jarman, inquire from her if she denounced membership of terrorist group who carried out terrorist attack on Iran few days ago for evil United States.

The foul Ibrahim itace muhammed wrote:
Ray Jarman, inquire from her if she denounced membership of terrorist group who carried out terrorist attack on Iran few days ago for evil United States.
…………………….
The vile Ibrahim itace muhammed has made this grotesque claim many times here, that since Amil Imani is critical of Islam in the vicious Shari’ah state of Iran, that he must perforce be a member of a Sunni terrorist group.
Of course this makes no sense whatsoever, and is nothing but the most disgusting calumny.
Amil Imani is opposed to *all* the savagery of Islam, but Ibrahim itace muhammed cannot conceive of that, and so assumes it is just more sectarian stupidity.
And Amil Imani is a man–the name “Amil” can be male or female, just as in the West names like “Robin” and “Sandy” can be.
WikiIslam reads: Amil Imani is an Iranian-born American and pro-democracy activist. *His* biography at CFP states *he* is “a columnist, literary translator, novelist and an essayist who has been writing and speaking out for the struggling people of his native land, Iran. *He* and *his* family escaped Iran after the radical Islamic revolution.” *He* has been published in several publications including the Baltimore Chronicle, the American Thinker, and Islam Watch…”.

You can also see that Amil Imani is male on his Twitter page.

Ibrahim is incapable of rational, evidence-based thought.
His postings reflect a very disturbed mind.
He needs help – badly.
He will likely respond to this post with rants of “evil”, “fools”, etc., etc.
Indiana Tom says
I love his blending of Christianity with Mithraism which historically have nothing in common. Then we have the Holy Spirit which becomes a different god of some sort and defies all orthodox christian theology and teachings.
Chand says
Ibrahim claims that Amil is a member of the Mujahideen e Khalq, the Marxist Iranian opposition group, fighting to overthrow the mullahs through armed struggle. Remember them from the 1979 period, when they were hunted down and killed by Khomeini’s militia, in the struggle for Iran, post Shah?

Ibrahim itace muhammed is always spouting calumny against Anti-Jihadists–especially those who have been able to escape Dar-al-Islam.
Guy Forester says
Amil,
Well stated, with references, no less.
For those not aware, people that flee such places as Iran and dare to speak out against the oppression, corruption, and lies that emanate from these places often pay a high price. They may be stalked, attacked, vilified, and even murdered by agents and loyalists of the regime he/she has fled. Their family members here and back in the home country may be threatened, imprisoned, attacked, kidnapped, or murdered.
If you wonder why more dissenting voices do not arise, it may very well be that those that should speak up dare not.
gravenimage says
Yes–speaking out is *very* brave.
Walter Sieruk says
This is again a strong reminder of the great contrast between the Christian mindset and the Muslim mindset . For example, if a Christian who is a father has a daughter, and she disappoints him terribly by turning away from Jesus by become a Buddhist, her father ,as a Christian, will pray for her.
By awful contrast , if a Muslim who is a father has a daughter , and she disappoints him terribly by turning away for Islam by becoming a Buddhist , her father ,as a Muslim, will kill her.
The contrasting difference between the Christian way of thinking and the Muslim way of thinking is outstanding.
gravenimage says
*Very* true, Walter.
Carol the 1st says
It’s a conditional, boxed-in kind of love, isn’t it? If a father is convinced – before his daughter is even born – that if she someday slights his honor by insisting upon her own path, that he then will be obliged to KILL her for that slight (to his sense of overweening Islamic male supremacy) then surely this would affect his capacity to love her from the very first day of her birth.
It’s a deviation from what’s real to what’s a feel-good distraction.

If I let Islam be, Islam doesn’t let me be
………………………..
Absolutely spot on from Amil Imani. Islam never leaves *anyone* alone–not its own adherents, and not Infidels, either those under its oppressive heel or those living in freedom–not if pious Muslims think they can get to them.
And now, with more Muslims flooding into the West, we are in more threat from this than ever. But many have no idea that Islam doesn’t allow anyone to live free of it, and its ultimate aim is to impose itself on the entire world.

‘Let Islam be’ sounds a bit like Neville Chamberlain’s ‘Peace in our time’ (aka ‘Let the Nazis be’). I wonder how many people were pushing or swallowing some sort of Nazism is beautiful’ or ‘Hitler is a hero’ line up to the end of WW2, just like Islam gets the ‘beautiful religion of Peace’ business pushed left, right and centre at the moment? Rather disturblingly, I’ve recently been informed that the Fuhrer still has something of a following in some parts of India with certain retail outlets openly dedicated to him and his cause – and that’s after Nazi atrocities have become become common knowledge globally for a very long time! Which rather begs a few questions – 1. What’s the position of the Indian government, or individual indian State governments on this sort of thing? 2. What’s the position of Jewish people in India? Is there much of a Jewish presence in India? 3. If this sort of thing is being tolerated in India, or not officially actively condemned, or even covertly encouraged, what would be the consequences if India actually grows into some sort of global power? 4. If this sort of thing is happening in India (which claims to be some sort of a successful modern democracy), what’s happening in Pakistan, which can hardly make the same claim? 5. What would be the ramifications for Islam in the area, given the long-accepted link between the ‘Religion of Peace’ and Nazism?
