The worst of all living creatures...careful now, that could mean you!

And the consensus is….

Islam is by far the poorest excuse for what the western world would describe as a religion of peace.  Take for example the following:

In the Qur'an, Jews are those who "earned your anger" & Christians are those who "went astray". We are described as the "worst of living creatures". They recite Surah Al-Fatiha seventeen times each day, reminding Allah why he should burn us.

The statement comes to me in an email describing a United Nations censorship resolution concerning Islamophobia… (Quick note: according to the likes of Barack Hussein Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton we should have no fear of Islam nor are we at war with Islam…even though Islam has declared war on us…just thought you should see an example of oxymoron(s) in real life).  When we think of religion we tend to think of a philosophy of life that promotes goodness, kindness, honesty, love, and all those attributes that assure us of passage into the next world if we keep to the prescribed tenets.  Westerners, I believe, would not consider hate as an attribute with good intentions.  Yet Islam appears to promote hate as a way of life against all those who do not follow Allah.  When you hear some Muslim cleric being interviewed regarding these matters they will invariably come up with some excuse about improper translation from the Quran.  So we look at just one of these Arabic writings and obtain the generally accepted translation and the consensus is: deny the truth (Allah), and you burn in hell…you are the worst of all creatures. 
No thanks, Allah, I’ll take my chances with an all forgiving Lord and Savior who does not think I’m the worst of all creatures. ~ Norman E. Hooben
