Read a better history book, if this really is your conclusion.

So yes if you feel such way about Islam I am equally able to say you read Hitler's book before breakfast.

This is no game of keeping a balance between two statements on a one-to-one basis. If one thing gets crtiicised for being bad, saying so does not automatically mean it is bad in itself a statement, too, just to establish an imaginery balance again. You argue on a basis of an eye for an eye, it seems.

1. Islam is deeply antisemitic itself. It always was, and still is. That goes back to the time when Muhammad was shown his intellectual limits by Jewish scholars in dabte - a deeply narcissistic offence to his ego. He reacted not by getting better education, but launching two wars and committing genocide.

2. The Jews in the third Reich were victims of crime. Muhammeddans are not. Precisely, they are the most dominant subgroup in the vast majority of categoeires of violent crime, massively overrepresented both compared to the local native population in European countries, and other migrant groups.

3. The hate o Jews in the Nazi era was based on arranged claims and forged evidence, it was based on irrationality and hysteric fear. Islam-criticism is based on empirically proven facts and Islam'S very own claims, demands and scripture. It is rational.

4. Antisemitism is a sociological and cultural phenomenen, and is more than 2000 years old. Islamophobia is a propaganda term introduced by the Saudis, Khomenei and the PC bridgade in the West. It is just 30 years old.

5. Islam in the West enjoys more freedoms and rights - and makes excessive use of them - than it does ion any Muslim country. If they all feel so supressed and discriminated, I wonder why the hell they are here.

6. The situation of Christian and Jewish and other minorities in Muslim countries does not compare. They are the object of systemtic discrimination and oppression everywhere, sometimes more, sometimes less. Their communtieites have been constantly reduced or driven out since over 1000 years. Everywhere. Rare exceptions from the rule every couple of months, do not change the rule, nor does this reverse the historic trend.

In general you can compare everything with everything. Bikinis with Burkhas. Facism with Liberalism, holocaust with Islam-criticism. It makes sense, like a German author has written some month ago, in the same way like it makes sense to compore a hippo with a human: both eat, both sleep, both multiply in a heterosexual manner. You can think that way, if you want, it is your right. And it is my right to not take you serious.

Killing heretics. Killing "offenders". Enslaving women. Executioning by stoning. Prostitution by 24 hours-marriages. Racism against all infidels, especially Jews. Totalitarian social control. Supremacism and the rrsulting arrogant and haughty attitude towards others. Total intolerance against other cultures, and the demand for their subjugation and final destruction. Protection money. Legalising lie and deception to drive Islam'S cause. Terrorism, and the ideologic justification through the Quran. Msrdering homosexuals. Limb-amputation for even minor crimes which may even have been committed by despair: hunger, for example. Honour killings in families. Patriarchalic terror inside families, and the psychological crippling of the following generation. Inferiority complexes combining with unlimited narcissism, producing a very instable, self-igniting psychological mixture. Sexual inheritance. Dealing with female victims of family crimes and rape as if they are the perpetrators. Superstitious anti-intellectualism and the total lack of ability for critical self-reflection. Fatalkism motivated by superstition, resulting in lacking compassion for the fate of others (and thus lacking efforts to come to others help - floodings in Pakistan being the latest example). Intensive missionsing in the West, land-taking, and increaisnginly influencing education and legislation. - The problem is not to criticise all this, it is not irrational to do so, it is not phobic, but it is very rational, very healthy and reasonable, it is self-defenmce in favour of freedom and liberty and our own cultural identities, it is based on proven empirical facts en masse, on scripture, and the thinking of hundreds of millions of Muslims worldwide. Some poeple try to always distract by pointing out how diverse Islam is. But politically, the whole global Ummah speaks with one voice, aims at the same direction, reaches for the same goals. This is what I mean when saying there is only one Islam. Islam is not just any religion like Christianity and Judaism: it is politics and conquest more than it ever was the case with the church in the West during the reign of the church. The problem is not to criticise all this, but the problem we have is the object of this criticism. You can try to ignore it and make it disappear by endlessly relativising it and stressing the most absurd comparisons (which only illustrate your own irrationality), but this will not make them go away, but leaves them only the time to grow stronger and stronger.

Was den Islam von anderen Religionen unterscheidet

Der Islam hingegen wird als Religion dargestellt, wobei der westliche Religionsbegriff willkürlich übertragen wird auf den Islam, ohne die elementaren Unterschiede des Islam im Vergleich zu anderen Religionen auch nur ansatzweise zu berücksichtigen. Diese sind der politische Herrschaftsanspruch, die hierzu gehörende Rechtssprechung, die in einzigartiger Weise Religion und Justiz verschmolzen hat, sowie das zentrale Vorbild für die islamische Gesellschaft in Form des Propheten Mohammed. Dieser war kein pazifistisch-religiöser Verkünder wie Jesus oder Buddha, sondern Regent eines Staates, der Angriffskriege führte, Karawanen ausrauben ließ, Attentate an Kritikern in Auftrag gab, Sklaven hielt und als Richter fungierte.
