Muhammad did not actually preach “the values of peace, inclusivity, tolerance and ethical behavior.” Get the truth here.
And as for the idea that Islam makes for societal, economic and political progress, why are Islamic countries that don’t have oil all societal, economic and political basket cases?
“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property – either as a child, a wife, or a concubine – must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the faith: all know how to die but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.” — Winston Churchill
“Prasad calls for reflection on Islamic values,” by Riya Mala, FBC News, September 16, 2024:
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance Professor Biman Prasad extends his wishes to Fiji’s Muslim community as they commemorate the birth of Prophet Muhammad, the founder of Islam.
He states that Prophet Muhammad, as the messenger of God, preached the values of peace, inclusivity, tolerance and ethical behavior….
Prof Prasad encourages all Fijians to reflect on these teachings and apply them in their daily lives.
He further says that the principles of social, ethical, moral and religious conduct championed by the Prophet form the foundation for societal, economic, and political progress….
Aviva7 says
As the Islam spreads, the Fijian economy will loose tourism, which is about 40% of GDP, and increase unemployement, poverty, crime….

I’m sure he especially likes that you can have 4 wives and a 9 year old is perfectly of for one or more of them. But if you are a true Jihadist you can have any infidel woman you want any time you want. That’s the best part. Also the idea that no Muslim should have to work hard when he can obtain money from an infidel and that infidels living in a Muslim controlled entity must pay a special tax unless they convert to Islam. The list goes on and on with so many worthwhile humanitarian ideas.

Only 6% of Fiji is muslm. That’s enough to make them a threat, as they are everywhere they pass about 5%. But why coddle them? I don’t know anything about Fiji except that it’s a fairly sophisticated tourist spoke with good natural resources. For that prof. to give his pablum about Mohammad like that is always disturbing since by fiat, it’s always a losing proposition.

I was about to look it up: thanks for filling me in. So why is there this need to pander to them in that country? I could understand that in other countries, like say, India, but Fiji? I do know that there is ethnic friction b/w indigenous Fijians vs ethnic Indians brought there by the Brits in the 19th century. So is Biman Prasad trying to get muslims on the ethnic Indian side? It ain’t gonna work, not if they wanna continue to have the right to be Hindu, which even former Fijian juntas didn’t deny them, the way muslims would

From what dark and deserted field of thorns did this idiot pop?
There are no values in islam. There are no virtues in islam. There is not one tiny nanoparticle of good in islam. The so-called ‘prophet’ taught no such thing as this idiot is claiming.
Anyone with a working brain, living in this 21st century only has to look around or listen to the news for one day….one day, any day of the week….to find out that islam is all about theft, rape and death.
Every day, from some place on planet Earth, there are mozlums….enslaving, raping, murdering other people. Even in places where most of the population belongs to islam, mozlums enslave and murder other mozlums.
This guy needs to find a quiet corner and read some of what Mr. Spencer, Mr. Ibrahim, Ms. Geller, Mr. Emerson, have to write about islam and its rabid adherents; to find out just what islam is all about; to see the evil goals that mozlums have in mind for the rest of us.
Fiji, another beautiful place; some would call a paradise…will be ruined if mozlums are allowed to prosper in power, control and policy.
Westman says
Oil also creates dependent economies who don’t invest in people for the future. Iran is a shining example of religion directing a nation’s wealth to sow chaos and harass the “enemies” of Islam – defined by the Quran as, more or less, all non-Muslims with a special perversity for Judaism.
We educated Iranian men and women, pre -1979 and then the men were sent to die in the 8-years war after the Mullah-nuts came to power. What does Iran intend to do if Israel ceases? Oh, right, fight with other Muslim nations and the Baha’i – gotta’ fight when your hand is turned against everyone. Some future.
The example of Muhammad is war for booty(war-fueled economy), the lower classification of women, and with his example of polygamy, angry single men who must war to get a forced bride or live a lonely single life. There is no one less enamored about society than a healthy, mature, young man with no marriage prospects.
Muhammad’s principles for progress could be summed as: How to be king of your own home while creating a woman’s sorrow and supporting it all through booty and jizya from unbelievers.
