New in PJ Media:
Nothing can inflame the Islamic community in some parts of the world more quickly than perceived insults of Muhammad, the prophet of Islam. Few people in history, if any, command this kind of ardent loyalty. This loyalty has been playing out again of late in India.
Muslims in India are demanding the arrest of a Hindu leader over what the Free Press Journal on Thursday delicately termed “disparaging remarks about Prophet Muhammad and his wife Ayesha.” The situation was extremely tense, for “the Raza Academy, a Sunni group, which was among the groups that met the DGP [the Director General of Police], has asked Muslims to observe Friday as ‘Day of Protection in the Honour of the Prophet.’” Another Islamic group complained that the Hindu leader had not yet been arrested, despite the fact that India is not a Sharia state, and warned ominously that there could be a “serious law and order problem in society” if he were not arrested.
Why would perceived insults to Muhammad so enrage some Muslims that they would issue not-so-veiled threats of violence?…
Many Muslims also maintain that Muhammad himself was such a singularly wonderful personality that insults of him are particularly upsetting….
Western non-Muslim scholars have abetted this impression. Karen Armstrong, in her acclaimed “Muhammad: A Biography of the Prophet,” claims fancifully that Muhammad “abjured violence and pursued a daring, inspired policy of non-violence that was worthy of Gandhi.” Another scholar, Eric Ormsby, has written fondly that Muhammad “loved to laugh, we are told, to the extent that when he did laugh – admittedly, not often – he did so ‘until his back teeth showed’. These are charming reports; they make a figure remote in time and place startlingly present and credible.”
Both Armstrong and Ormsby, however, were being astonishingly disingenuous. Muhammad never abjured violence. Islamic tradition states that not only did Muhammad lead jihad warriors into battle on numerous occasions; he also ordered the assassinations of several people for the crime of making fun of him, and rewarded the killers.
And as for Muhammad’s hearty laugh, “Muhammad: A Critical Biography” tells the full story that Ormsby omits, or may not know. According to the earliest Islamic traditions, Muhammad was laughing not at a marvelous joke or quip, but because he ordered one of his expert archers to shoot an enemy warrior, whereupon the enemy “fell down, exposing his buttocks.” The archer recounts: “I saw the Messenger of God laugh then, until his teeth could be seen.” Another version of the story, which situates it as taking place during a different battle, has a couple of bystanders discuss the incident after Muhammad’s archer shoots the rival warrior: “I asked: ‘What made him laugh?’ He replied: ‘What he did to the man!’”
There is more. Read the rest here.

I guess some muslims are just “too honest” about their prophet.
How long can Islam survive? Answers on a postcard……….

Muslims tell the truth about Muhammed when they are talking to other Muslims–or feel sufficiently emboldened. Otherwise, they demand rhat people pretend that the “Prophet” was civilized.

Arresting five thousand or so Jihadists and telling them’Mohammad laughed at the arrowing that caused his enemies buttocks to become prominent… after we arrest you, you will get your chance to have your buttocks be prominent as you pray in prison, so either stand down or get ready to pray in prison where you indeed belong you threateners of peace’

When I get calls from the muslim scammers, once I ascertain that they are indeed one of allahu’s ackbarbarians, I inform them that mohammed is a “pig-faced dog who likes to f donkeys”, then I ask them if they are the donkey. I must say they don’t like it, and don’t know what to say when someone points out a fact about their false prophet, the pig-faced dog mohammed.
Oh well……I get over it.

Quoting Mr. Spencer speaking about the ‘prophet’ Mohammed – ‘few people in history, if any, command this kind of ardent loyalty.’
I believe that Adolph Hitler retains quite strong following amongst Mohammed’s devotees, and it seems to be quite a common phenomenon to find the biggest villains in the criminal world enjoying the kind of blind, unquestioning adoration that the ‘prophet’ seems to inspire in those of a ‘certain mentality’. Maybe that’s the answer; this ‘religion’ is designed to appeal to lowest common denominator of human instincts and to worship this ‘prophet’ as the ‘perfect man’, you need to have an key element of basic moral integrity missing or completely lacking your own independent moral compass; which would explain why any constructive criticism of islam always provokes the same institutionally hysterical defensive response as its proponents rush to blot out the spotlight before the cracks and gaping holes start showing up.
Johanna Jahns says
Agree. Islam sanctifies narcissim and lowest human impulses. You can lie, kill, rape, bully and loot in the name of god. A god who hates and claims human sacrifices, like the old Aztec gods. And you can feel superiour.despite your worldly performance is below average in every regard.
A German psychotherapist wrote that in his view, about 5o-6o% of German Muslims are clinically disturbed, (narcisissm and sociopathy).
Dr. Wafa Sultan, a Syrian psychiatrist and Ex-Muslima, wrote: It is not possible to 1. know Koran and Sunna 2. AND to believe in them 3. AND to be a mentally healthy person.
That doesn’t reduce the danger they pose.

Islam ( submission)will collapse ,like USSR in 1989,if we DENOUNCE PSEUDO PROPHET MUHAMMAD,who according to his biography( Sira) and traditions( Hadith) was a pedophile( wife Aisha was 9 yo), rapist, murderer, bandit (keeping20% of the booty for himself),liar and sex-slave trader and also LIBERATE THE MUSLIM WOMEN from barbaric Sharia Law.The Koran states women are dumb, less intelligent than men,wives must be beaten for disobedience by their hudbands ,all women will go to hell unless in the last day their husband says he was pleased with her and all women must hide their curves and wear burkas ,so that men will not be aroused to rape them.Islam is a misogynistic ,violent , imperialist political ideology of Arab male supremacy ISLAMOFASCISM(~70%), DISGUISED AS A RELIGION(~ 30%) that strives through violent Jihad and soft cultural Jihad of immigration ( dawa)to subjugate the World.Jihadists are promised, if killed battling infidels-kafirs,) they will go to Paradise to enjoy 72 virgins ,taking along 70 of their relatives regardless of their sins!Withdraw from UN MIGRANT COMPACT ,that falsely claims immigration is a Human Right expecting Western countries to accept and provide for an endless number of muslim illegal immigrants ,thus islamizing them. Muslim “refugees “should stay in Turkey or vast rich Saudi Arabia ,until they can return to their countries.We must denounce islamic Sharia (=way)law of blasphemer,apostate ,homosexual , adulterer and hypocrite executions,misogyny,honor killings by stoning,hand amputations for theft,child brides,girls exclusion from schools, .Demand gender equality for ALL muslim women.Punish severely those that kill apostates from Islam,blasphemers,adulterers or muslim hypocrites.Islam is incompatible with our freedom of speech, gender equality, values,way of life, Human Rights,

What would ms Buraq have to say about muhammed?
THey must have had interesting conversations
Buraq was muhammed’s mode of transport to Jerusalem on that wondrous night{koran 17.1}
Buraq is a female centaur.Muslims believe Buraq to be real:if Buraq is not real then how did mo get to Jerusalem?
Pictures of Ms Buraq seem to show a nice young woman with nice hair.
A few questons for scholars of islam
1]How come ms Buraq isn’t wearing a hijab?
2} Do allah’s 3 godess daughters{al lat,al uzza,manat{koran 53:19-20 wear hijabs?Who is mrs allah?What one wonders would they think of muhammed’s insistence that women had a “deficiency of mind”.That’s a bit rich coming from a guy who according to the koran could “neither read nor write”
3] Buraq cannot be real:so how did mo really get to Jerusalem?
4}Is ms Buraq still flying around the clouds..like superman
So mummahed, the most obvious false prophet in World History, even by his own admission,went to Jerusalem on an imaginary female centaur:you don’t find that’s a bit odd?

Whitewashing Muhammad
………………………………….
Noting that the “Prophet” Muhammad was a caravan raider, pedophile, kidnapper, slaver, rapist, and mass murderer is not allowed–unless you mean it as a compliment to the “perfect man”.
