Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Ex-Muslim activist: ‘Islam targets all forms of critical thinking’

Jul 31, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Nacer Amari is a Tunisian ex-Muslim who is facing deportation from Denmark despite the fact that he faces almost certain death in a majority-Muslim country. See the interview with him here.

Note that what Nacer Amari says in this article is the same thing that non-Muslim analysts, including me, have been saying for years. We have been answered with charges of “ignorance” and “Islamophobia.” Is Nacer Amari, who grew up a Muslim in a Muslim country, ignorant and Islamophobic as well?

“Islam targets all forms of critical thinking,” by Nacer Amari, Atheist Alliance International, July 29, 2020:

…Islam is a worldwide death cult; not a religion, but an ideology – totalitarian and violent – like fascism. More attacks will follow all over the free world unless Islam undergoes a period of modernizing Enlightenment, as Christianity and Judaism did in the eighteenth century. Such a fundamental shift will provide the framework for better human rights, freedom, and security.

There are moderate Muslims but there is no moderate Islam. Islam stands for submission, violence and is intolerant to everything that is non-Islamic. Freedom and Islam are incompatible. How many more innocent people have to die before the elites listen? As an ex-Muslim atheist, I don’t feel safe in some places because of Muslims, even when I live in a free country. The only way to get rid of religiously motivated terrorist attacks is to marginalize the hardliners into extinction with a modern secular education and opportunities for the majority. Muslims always say extremists misinterpret Islam. But the ease at which Islamic texts lend themselves to this misinterpretation cannot be blamed solely on errant Muslims….

    Poor guy must be shitting himself. Such a brave bloke.

      Nacer Amari is indeed brave. He had to be brave, because he is gay and would have had no future in a Muslim country except as a suicide jihadi.

      There have been many reports (including from US military and at least one on PBS) of young Muslims saying their parents told them to become suicide jihadis. At least one Muslim cleric said publicly in Florida that if your kid tells you he’s gay, then you must kill him before he sins and goes to hell for all eternity. Many Muslims have in fact killed their own children (even adults who are no longer legally children but are still part of the family) for the “honor” of proving their abject submission to the dead charlatan Mohamad and his hateful fraud of Islam. “Islam” is an Arabic word that means “submission”, and Muslims must prove themselves “slaves to Allah” (meaning slaves to the megamaniacal dead charlatain Mohamad and his earthly charlatan stand-ins). Nacer’s family would kill him because he is an atheist and therefore an apostate and blasphemer, and because he is gay.

      Change.org has a petition to save him:

      Mr. Spencer, thank you again for being the word smith you are! My mind and spirit have been struggling with the intuitive belief; not all Muslims’ can believe in Islam as written in the Qur’an? This article, where you or Nacer state (not sure where the quote marks ended?)

      ” There are moderate Muslims but there is no moderate Islam”.

      These simple words have just added to my approach for reason and insight with persuasion in my belief and expression to others. Thank You Sir..!

    Ex-Muslim activist: ‘Islam targets all forms of critical thinking’
    ………………………

    Nacer Amari is quite right–Islam rejects reason.

    That he is facing deportation from Denmark is appalling–especially when Europe has taken in so many ravening Muslims.

    We should all take a stand for Nacer Amari–he sounds as though he would be a good Danish citizen.

    If you are in the US, here is contact information for the Danish Embassy:

    Embassy of Denmark, USA
    3200 Whitehaven St. NW
    Washington, DC 20008
    Tel +1 (202) 234-4300
    Fax +1 (202) 328-1470
    wasamb@um.dk
    http://usa.um.dk

    Phone lines are open to the public 10:00 AM – Noon (Eastern Standard Time).

    I’m sure those outside the US can find similar information for the Danish Embassy in their own nations.

      There is also a petition on Change.org:

      http://chng.it/LNhkQ8zpjx

      If Denmark won’t protect him, the USA should bring him here. Non-Muslims are genuine refugees from Muslim countries, and precisely the sort of people we should want to import because they can provide valuable knowledge about the places they are fleeing.

      A basic problem with Pence’s “travel ban” based on territories is that it blocks people who are trying to flee Islam, while allowing devout jihadis to enter from other territories. I call it Pence’s ban because he was the one who claimed falsely that Trump’s original proposal would be unconstitutional, resulting in the current territory compromise based on territories.

        The USA should not get involved in this issue. Information in this age is little more than propaganda; do you ever think it is possible you do not know everything about this? Certainly you (as well as I) can read all the readers comment’s from every imaginable source, (Even Esquire News Papers and dramatic news reports seeking better ratings through spinning the news) but none of those credentials add up to truth, so be careful of whom you thrown in with lest you also buy a “Trojan Horse” in this “information” age.

          Aug 1, 2020 at 7:00 pm

          @Ben Kennedy, I do always check facts before taking any action including even commenting. Nacer Amari seems genuine and his published writings about Islam put him at grave risk for being killed by Muslims as an apostate and blasphemer. I don’t want what happened to US Embassy employee Xulhaz Mannan to happen to him; in my opinion, the USA should have either evacuated Xulhaz Mannan or provided security before he was hacked to death by a vigilante Sharia patrol:

          What is Ben Kennedy saying is false about this story?

          Or is he just saying that you can’t know anything at all, and so should just let things happen in the world without taking any interest in it at all?

          If the latter, I hope he doesn’t mind when he wakes up in an Islamized West that he decided to do nothing at all to prevent.

    “In 2019, Amari traveled to Denmark, where he subsequently applied for asylum. His case was rejected on appeal on 17 June 2020, after the Danish Refugee Appeals Board argued that his atheism and human rights-related activities will not cause him issues if he is returned to Tunisia.”

    Really?

    And Tunisia is at least 99.5% muslim…

    In classical work of ancient Greek literature, by Plato, entitled THE APOLOGY OF SOCRATES it in written that Socrates had said that “An unexamined life is not worth living.” Likewise, in may also be said that “An unexamined religion is not worth believing in.” This is said about all religions. Yet to be specific, in this case, the topic is about the religion of Islam.

    Furthermore, one man who was as a former a Muslim and had lived in one of the Islamic nations of the Middle East but now he is Christian and an American citizen had explained in a book he wrote that “Driving into depths of the word of reasoned thinking and research in Islamic societies has always been costly. Some Muslim who have done this have even been excluded from their social rights and even sentenced to death.” [1]

    [1] ISLAM AND THE SON OF GOD by Daniel Shayesteh page 70.

  5. Walter Sieruk says

    Jul 31, 2020 at 4:58 pm

    The Greek philosopher Plato is one of the contributors to Western Civilization. He may shed some light into the subject of those people who are shackled in the chains and darkness of Islamic thought.

    In Plato’s REPUBLIC he gave an allegory of a cave where “the condition of men living in a sort of cavernous chamber…Here they have been from childhood, chained by leg and also by the neck, so that they cannot move and see only what is in front of them.” This can fit into what the Imams do in the mosques and how they brainwash the young people in the madrassa’s by always programming Islamic doctrine into their victims and not exposing them to other worldviews.

    Furthermore, even in Islamic tradition when Muslims have their newborn child the father whispers words of the Quran into the infants ear so that that Quran verses are the first thing the newborn person hears. This programming process takes place all their lives. These are some of the chains that keep them bound in a mosque [cave]. The chains do not let them reach out for dialectic reasoning and let them examine the evidence both for as well as against, or even question whether Muhammad was a true prophet of God or not, and if the Quran is a hoax or not. As the chains and darkness of the cave blinds and holds the prisoners back from reality, so Islamic propaganda holds back the cognition to reason with the question if Islam is true or not. They are forbidden from even thinking to question Islam. Furthermore, if a Muslim by some miracle wakes up to the truth about Islam, it would be like the man in Plato’s cave allegory who was released from his chains and taken outside to the real world. At first direct light would be painful and disorienting, it would take some time for him to understand what the truth is all about, he even might cling to the shadows and still for a time believe some of the illusions to be real. But he would finally come to know “what he had formerly seen was meaningless illusion.” And that was “what passed for wisdom in his former dwellingplace.”And that the other cave prisoners also needed to see the light [the truth] for he “was sorry for them.” and he would re-enter the cave just to rescue them. Nevertheless, the cave prisoners wouldn’t understand and “if they could lay hand on the man who was trying to set them free.” And if they could “they would kill him.” Likewise, when someone escapes from the shackles of Islam, those still in the darkness of this religion would not understand and if possible kill him for leaving Islam, and even more so if he were to try to enlighten them about the truth about Islam. For these people in Islam are chained to an empty imitation of truth and godliness.

    ‘Islam targets all forms of critical thinking’ – Nacer Amari

    Truer words were never spoken!

    Islam promotes AUTHORITARIAN THOUGHT only.

    Islam discourages and condemns critical thought.

    Despite being an ex Muslim, thereby knowing first hand what Islam is, how hateful it is and what it truly represents, he now clearly doesn’t fit the narrative of the Danish authorities and needs to be gotten rid of.
    So how do they do this? They send him back to the pit of Islamic vipers from whence he came off course!
    It’s a shame he didn’t realise the left wing authorities intentions earlier, otherwise he could have just raped a few dozen under aged girls and blown up a few trains and buses, and the odd shopping mall This would have then qualified him to remain in Denmark!
    Sarcasm aside, this guy should be given asylum. If he’s got the sense and courage to escape the evils of Islam, then he should be allowed to remain safe in the West. He would be a very good person to have around, to teach all those retarded individuals on the left what the rest of us already know about Islam.
    It’s all the others that follow Islam to the letter that really need to be gotten rid of!

    • curious says

      Jul 31, 2020 at 8:34 pm

      @Rufluc, I agree with much of what you say, including that his deportation results probably from publicly contradicting the narrative, but it is a mistake to attribute the decision solely to “left wing” authorities, and they are not retarded.

      Europeans, Scandinavians, and Britons have developed extreme aversion to controversy. They have an almost visceral reaction against whoever speaks up, and to blame even good troublemakers for ‘disturbing the peace’. That attitude spans the political spectrum, and the whole intellectual and educational gamut. When all of the major parties insist on the same narrative, the problem is only compounded when people fall into partisan division.

        curious,

        Your post helps to explain a lot.

        I’m most familiar with issues regarding the UK, although it seems that other Western European countries / Scandinavia have similar issues.

        Here are just a few of many examples:

        Tommy Robinson gets arrested for a “breach of the peace” for simply journalistically exposing / covering muslim rape gangs in the UK.

        Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller are banned from the UK simply because they are speaking the truth about islam – and this would cause a “breach of the peace”.

        Paul Weston was arrested in front of Winchester Guildhall for quoting in public a passage critical of islam written by Winston Churchill, apparently a “breach of the peace”.

        The United Kingdom authorities are petrified of islamists, and think that voluntary dhimmitude will save them.

        In the *very* short run, perhaps the government officials / police can keep a “lid on”.

        In the “not so long” run, unless something drastically changes, the UK will be completely finished as a free country…

        • curious says

          Aug 1, 2020 at 7:07 pm

          Thanks James Lincoln for the examples, and I agree completely. I had high hopes for Boris Johnson, but I think For Britain (founded by Anne Marie Waters) looks like the only British party that stands consistently for liberty and against Islam:
