Islam, as we can judge through its behavior, turns out to be a well-executed plan for Arab Imperialism. Fragmented and warring Arab tribes were united by it (only an appeal to a transcendent Being, Allah, would be powerful enough to unite them), thus giving them the power to create the illusion that they were a civilization comparable to their neighbors: The Egyptians, the Persians, the Greeks, and the Romans. Using the false promises of this new movement, they attacked their neighbors to try to convert them. Those who resisted conversion were either converted by the power of the sword, or brutally murdered. But, after they conquered a neighbor, they would not seek to bring their civilization up to the level of those they had barbarically vanquished. On the contrary, they destroyed all the manifestations of culture in those societies: they burned down libraries of valuable books and forbade the practice of music, painting, sculpture, and even literature. The only literature needed under their system was the Koran. And this did the most fundamental damage to the language of the vanquished, essentially making it disappear gradually and become replaced with Arabic. In those societies where there was a strong resistance to the Arabicization of their language, Arabicization worked only partially. Such was the case in Persia, where the great poet Ferdowsi wrote the Epic of Kings (Shah-Nameh) for the explicit purpose of saving the language from Arabic slaughter. To this day, Persian is only about 50% Arabic.

Hence, for the past thirteen centuries, the Arabic "culture" has been spread throughout the world through Islam. But the significant point is that Islam did not bring in any major revolution in thinking. Its pronouncement of unity was essentially a plagiarism of Abraham's ground-breaking pronouncement of monotheism a few millennia earlier. Its specific rituals were borrowed mostly from Judaism (such as avoidance of pork). And the behavior of its leaders was shameful at its best. A case in point: The Prophet Mohammad wanting to marry a six-year-old girl, Aisha, but having to wait three years due to her parents' resistance, thus marrying her at age nine, and then making this the minimum-marriage-age law in Islam. In fact, the whole Koran is nothing but the personal thoughts and desires of Mohammad pretending to have Divine Laws revealed to him.

Islam did not bring forth ANY new thought, concept, or idea. After it conquered its neighboring civilizations, it started owning their intellectual properties. Hence, for example, Omar Khayyam, is often mentioned in the West as an Islamic mathematician. What was Islamic about his mathematics?! How did Islam contribute to his intellectual development? NO: Omar Khayyam was a PERSIAN mathematician.

This is the truth the majority of the world has never heard, but needs to hear now. Enough is enough. It is not a coincidence that modern Islamic terrorism is a direct outgrowth of the same line of thinking as that which started 14 centuries ago under the guise of a new religion. The majority of Muslims in the world are decent, peace-loving people. This is so because they are "cultural Muslims" (they happened to be born into that religion), rather than "religious Muslims" (they studied it objectively to decide if they want to adopt its tenets and practices). It is not a coincidence that the majority of the Muslims in the world are descendents of the conquered/vanquished, as explained above.

Islam is a great hoax, and Ali Shariati tried to create a sterilized, pasteurized version of it in tune with realities of modern life. He may have really believed the nonsense he was speaking, but the net result is that he contributed greatly to the Islamic Revolution (the second Arab invasion) that has kept our country enslaved for the past 30 years.

Many educated Iranian now believe as Dr. Shariati concluded " Islam without Akhond as Dr. Mosaddegh believed Iran's economy without dependence on oil " Vali Faghih is nothing but dictatorship. May Allah bless soul of Dr. Shariati

For anybody who wants to understand why the Islamic revolution pirooz shod, this man was one of the MAIN reasons. The ulama have always had a tense relationship with his legacy, but are beginning to publish his books and speak a lot more about him today to bring the youth back to Islam.

Khoda Biamorzesh. He was a true Muslim and revolutionary
