These are some excerpts from
The primordial world of Islam, By
Alexander Maistrovoy, June 1,
2016 writing in the Canada Free Press.
The
involution of Islam is just one side of the coin. The other one, which is not
less horrifying, is the spiritual degradation of the West that welcomes the
primordial predatory world with cute teddy bears, songs about peace and
flowers. The Islamic world of the Middle East is sinking into the gloomy and
forgotten past: the Bronze Age, the world of slavery, human sacrifice,
pedophilia, sexual sacred traditions, beliefs in conspiracies and now the most
terrible - ritual cannibalism and the systematic elimination of dogs. Why? He could not give a clear answer. Because dogs, according to Islam, are
“unclean animals”. Dogs are not the
only victims of “Palestinian frustration.
Donkeys are subject to regular abuse by Palestinian teenagers; “fighters
against occupants” use them as “shahids” tying explosives to them and sending
them to Israelis. There is another kind of entertainment: they paint a donkey
in the colors of the Israeli flag, torture it, burn out the Star of David on
it, pour over gasoline and set it on fire.
I
began my journey into the jungle of the Muslim world in the Middle
East - the perverted and cruel world, full of anomalies and
pathologies, irrational anger and countless superstitions. It is a world where
a woman, a child, a person with sexual and psychological aberrations are doomed
to the fate of the miserable dog or donkey. It is a world of jinns, spirits,
beliefs in conspiracies, legalized pedophilia and actual slavery, “codes of honor”
and boundless fanaticism, clans structures, arrogant and suspicious attitude
towards the outside world. It is a world that brings us back to the prehistory
of mankind. There is no logical
reasoning for this behavior except that it comes from Mohammed and since his
word is perfect, there can be no argument with it.
Mankind,
throughout its very existence, desperately tried to set itself free from firm
grips of dark primal instincts, from the viscous swamp of irrational primitive
nature. It was a difficult task, but gains were significant. Moral and spiritual ideals of the prophetic
Judaism became the basis of the ethical value system of the Western world. The
Greco-Roman philosophy of the late antiquity broke away from primitive beliefs
and practices, having created unique and unrivalled systems, such as Stoicism
and Epicureanism, Neo-Platonism and Gnosticism. Christianity, having passed
through the hearth of tests and pride, returned to its roots and became one of
the ways to spiritual salvation and social justice. Buddhism is a religion of
consolation, elevation and rejection of carnal beginning.
The pagans readily abandoned
primitive cults, too under the influence of highly developed civilizations.
Hindus didn’t cling to the grim rituals of widows’ self-immolation (Sati) and
Thuggee sects. Christian people of Africa and Siberia
got rid of abominable superstitions quite easily. Descendants of the Aztecs and
Inca in Mexico and Peru don’t
protect their “sacred right” to human sacrifice, and Maori and Polynesians - to
the ritual cannibalism.
Muslim
nations on the periphery of the Islamic world, like Uzbeks, Kazakhs,
Azerbaijanis, Indian Muslims or Hui people in China, are not prone to religious
fanaticism and the practice of slave societies. On one hand, they see
themselves as heirs of cultures that are more ancient than Islam. In Uzbekistan, historical handbooks and guidebooks
remind you about the ancient kingdoms of Bactria and Sogdiana. The Kazakhs
are proud of their kinship with the Cumans Empire. In Azerbaijan,
they show ancient temples of Zoroastrians to tourists.
On
the other hand, Christianity, the great cultures of India
and China,
and in our time—the secular Soviet ideology softened archaic beliefs and
prejudices of Islam. Today, Sufi
orders and the Baha’i communities with their center in Haifa
flourish only on the outskirts of the Islamic world, in Central Asia, Azerbaijan, India
and Africa. Also this is the only place (and
only in Israel in the all Middle East) where the truly humanistic Islam movement -
Ahmadiyya Muslim Community - is not subject to severe persecutions. And only in the Middle
East, in the realm of its absolute power, the Muslim world made
its journey just the opposite. It not only returned human beings to the animal
state, but asserted this at the level of the religious law and traditions.
Islam has been withdrawing
into itself more and more, sinking into the quagmire of petty disputes,
prohibitions, absurd dogmas and narcissism. All movements of the modern Islam -
from the “Muslim Brotherhood”, “Hizb ut-Tahrir” and Wahhabi / Salafi to the
Taliban, Shiite dogmatists in Iran, “Al-Qaeda” and “Islamic State”—are moving
deeper and deeper into the dark tunnel of pre-Islamic prejudices, gloomy
rituals, primordial instincts and pathological fanaticism. Modern Islam is characterized by all
features of slave-owning, archaic communities.
“World
of Crescent” is the only place on the planet where slavery flourished legally
for centuries and continues to thrive in a disguised form in our time. Formally, Saudi
Arabia, Qatar,
UAE and Yemen
abolished slavery in the 60s, but informally actively practiced it in relation
to foreign workers (Indians, Filipinos, Ceylonese, Thais, etc). All of them
have sponsorship laws (kafeel), which de-facto represent contemporary slavery.
“Sponsors” have absolute power over labor migrants. They can deprive them of
rights of residence, confiscate documents, pay no salaries, ban them from
leaving the country and even their houses on the pretext that the workers might
try to “escape”. They can kill and rape them with impunity.
Ownership
of black slaves is a special matter. The religious justification of this
slavery in Islam is rooted in Biblical interpretation, according to which
Africans are sons of Ham who committed an unpardonable sin against his father
Noah, and therefore they are doomed to be slaves of descendants of Shem, i.e.
the Arabs. So Negros, whose ancestors were brought by Arabs from Africa to the
area of Basra
as slaves in the earliest days of Islam, remain slaves of Arabic sheikhs even
now. They are called Abd (“slave”). In Mauritania,
slavery was abolished in the early 80s. But until now the whole population in
this country is actually divided into castes: lighter-skinned “Moors” -
slaveholders, “Black Berbers” or “Haratin”—their subjects, and Negros - the lower class. Slavery is hereditary, and
children of slaves remain the property of their owners. The number of slaves in
the country is estimated to be up to 600,000 men, women and children, or 20% of
the population, though officially the use of the word “slave” in the media is
forbidden. In many cases slaves have a certain place in the house, like
animals.
In Sudan slavery
is thriving. Entire villages are being demolished; men, women and children are being
enslaved. In the 90s, the number of enslaved descendants of Ham was estimated
to be 100 to 200 thousands. In Niger slavery
is a norm. There are almost a million of slaves there. ISIS and its branches in Libya and Nigeria
officially revived the institution of slavery in its most heinous and barbarous
form, but slavery is deeply rooted in the collective consciousness of the Middle East world and is practiced actively.
A
death on the battlefield was considered as honor for a warrior in previous
times, because such death opened the way to heaven. The early version of the
“Jihad” was no exception: men fought against equal rivals in a fair fight, but
by no means against children, women and unarmed men. The current concept of “Jihad” is much
closer to the primitive human sacrifice. The purpose of the ancient cult of
sacrifice was to appease the angry and bloodthirsty Deity. For the sacramental
ceremony they selected predominantly children, juveniles and girls of their own
tribe as the embodiment of naivety and virginity. Sacrifice represented a
horrifying theatrical performance. The sacral victims that voluntarily
sacrificed themselves went to paradise where they could enjoy carnal pleasures.
People from another tribe were slain like cattle.
The
same idiocy we can see in the current interpretation of “Jihad”. For the role
of “martyrs” they choose children and adolescents that are too young to realize
they are going to the slaughter. They believe that by killing themselves they
make their way to heaven - to the embrace of 72 virgins. (What else can a man
of the Bronze Age dream about?) On the other side, slashing of people from
another tribe chosen randomly, especially women and children, shall delight the
cruel Deity and make his enemies tremble from horror. Finally, the terror of “shahids” is of a
public, theatrical and ultimately horrifying nature - with torn bodies, severed
limbs, blood flows. This is a typical murderous mystery practiced by ancient
people - from Mesopotamia, Syria, and Phoenicia
to South America.
In
the Age of Bronze, the place of woman in the social hierarchy was a little
higher than the place of livestock. She had three standard roles: a prey—when
speaking about women from another tribe; a slave - for her owner, and a
procreation machine; and finally a “currency” - to conclude bargains, tribal
and dynastic alliances. Her freedom of choice was similar to the freedom of
choice of a horse or a camel. Islam
returned to woman “her” place in the social hierarchy. In the Middle
East she can’t leave the house unaccompanied by her husband,
father or brother; she can’t work; she loses her son in the case of a divorce;
she is subject to beating and humiliation, if she doesn’t satisfy her
husband. slam legalizes beating of women and advises how to keep her on a
tight rein like a horse. Sheikh Muhammad Kamal Mustafa, the author of the book
‘The Woman in Islam’ asserted that “It is forbidden to beat her on the
sensitive parts of her body, such as the face, breast, abdomen, and head.
Instead, she should be beaten on the arms and legs”.
Sheikh
Yousef Qaradhawi, one of the most influential clerics in Sunni Islam: “It is
permissible for him to beat her lightly with his hands, avoiding her face and
other sensitive parts. In no case should he resort to using a stick or any
other instrument that might cause pain and injury”. In February 2016 Mufti of Gaza Hassan
Al-Laham prescribed: “This hitting is a kind of reminder that the love and
friendship that Allah commanded, is still found between the couple.” Wonderful,
isn’t it? What was the reaction of feminists? It was the arrangement of the
women “Peace flotilla” to Gaza.
Female
genital mutilations deprive women of their sensuality and turn them into
primitive machines for procreation, to insensible dolls. Any suspicion of adultery leads to their
murdering by the family: they can pour acid over them, disfigure them or push
them under a truck. The same fate threatens them if they become a victim of a
rape. They get married by the decision of the family without their
consent. Primitive tribes considered
women of conquered people to be their natural prey. Non-Muslim women today
share the same fate. Long before the
ISIS, in 1948, the Arabs set forth to conquer Israel dreaming of killing men and
raping women. In Lebanon,
Palestinians raped Christian women in Lebanon and thereby provoked the
civil war. Secular regimes restrained sexual lusts of Muslims against females
of “infidels.” As soon as they broke, Christian women turned into the object of
sexual harassment.
On
the 10th of April, 2013 Salafi cleric Sheikh Yasir al-‘Ajlawni announced a
fatwa that permits men to rape non-Sunni women in Syria, if they are not Sunni of
course. In Egypt, in
February 2013, Ahmad Mahmoud Abdullah, known as “Abu Islam”, justified raping
of women in Cairo’s
Tahrir Square.
Raping of girls of Coptic community in Egypt became commonplace in the
time of the Mursi ruling. Recently Muslims burned down Christian homes in
southern Egypt
and forced a 70-year-old Coptic woman to walk naked through the streets. Non-Muslim women are whores for a Muslim
man, especially if they walk alone and wear short skirts—as in Cologne,
London, Stockholm
or anywhere else.
Primitive people endowed the
phallus with a sacred value, and considered the act of copulation as a
demonstration of the male power and authority—in relation not only to a woman,
but also to a defeated opponent. The
symbolism of sexual possession is well pronounced among aboriginal peoples and monkeys.
Konrad Lorenz described the scene in the Berlin
zoo.
“In
the Berlin Zoo, I once watched two strong, old male Hamadryas Baboons
assaulting each other in real earnest for a minute. A moment later, one of them
fled, hotly pursued by the other, who finally chased him into a corner. Unable
to escape, the loser took refuge in the submissive gesture, whereupon the
winner turned away and walked oft, stiff-legged, in an attitude of
self-display. Upon this, the loser ran after him and presented his hindquarters
so persistently that the stronger one eventually “acknowledged” his
submissiveness by mounting him with a bored expression and performing a few
perfunctory copulatory movements. Only then was the submissive one apparently
satisfied that his rebellion had been forgiven”. Rudiments of this culture remained in
marginal societies, for example, in prisons.
In
the Middle East, a sexual act as a
personification of power over a defeated rival became the norm. Lawrence of Arabia was a victim of such
barbaric tradition. Iranian dissidents, Chris Stevens and Gaddafi faced an even
more frightful fate: they were raped and murdered. This barbarity brings us
back to the times that mankind hasn’t known since the appearance of the great
religions. This disgusting phenomenon
was inherent to all people in all times, but only Islam legalized it. Things
that were considered to be shameful in Judaism, Christianity and in the secular
culture, became the norm in the Middle East.
Raymond Ibrahim cites Dr. Saleh bin Fawzan, a prominent cleric and member of Saudi Arabia’s
highest religious council.
Bin
Fawzan just issued a fatwa asserting that there is no minimum age for marriage,
and that girls can be married “even if they are in the cradle.” Fawzan insists that nowhere does Sharia set
an age limit for marrying girls: like countless Muslim scholars before him, he
relies on Koran 65:4, which discusses marriage to females who have not yet
begun menstruating (i.e., are prepubescent) and the fact that Muhammad, Islam’s
role model, married Aisha when she was 6-years-old, “consummating” the
marriage—or, in modern parlance, raping her—when she was 9. Ibrahim gives examples of girls who died as
a result of such “child-marriage”, pointing out that leading Islamic
authorities, such as Yusuf Qaradawi, took young girls as wives. According to THE INTERNATIONAL CENTER FOR
RESEARCH ON WOMEN, in 2005 there were 51 million child marriages and almost all
of them - in Muslim countries.
Ayatollah Khomeini wrote: “A
man can have sexual pleasure from a child as young as a baby”.
Bestiality?
Why not? Ayatollah Khomeini: “A man can have sex with animals such as sheep,
cows, camels and so on. However he should kill the animal after he has his
orgasm. He should not sell the meat to the people in his own village, however
selling the meat to the next door village should be fine.” (From Khomeini’s
book, Tahrir al-Vasyleh, fourth volume, Darol Elm, Gom, Iran, 1990). In May 2010 in Gaza, 450 Hamas men married girls that were
younger than 10 years old. Feminists?
Oh, yes, we forgot—they are busy arranging the “Flotilla of peace” to Gaza.
Animals
feel irrational hatred to any aberration within their own species. In my
childhood I saw a flock of sparrows that attacked a sick bird - they were
trying to peck it to death. The miserable sparrow managed to escape having
flown into the window of some house.
Civilization has moved beyond this disgusting prejudice, but those
unlucky fellows who were born crippled in the Middle East
have no way to escape. This is a “black
hole” of the Islamic world, and what we know is just the tip of the iceberg.
Last December, the Palestinian agency Maan wrote that in the South of Hebron
they found a mentally ill man, who had spent 25 years on the chain in a
sheepfold. His family chained him up when he was 10 years old, and he ate
together with sheep and chickens. In February 2016, Maan wrote about a mentally
ill person in Bethlehem.
He was handcuffed, chained up in a shed without ventilation and heating and was
fed from a bowl like an animal. The
reason of such attitude is primordial fear. According to Islamic belief, a
mentally ill person is in the grip of the jinn and possessed with evil.
Let
alone homosexuals—this is commonplace. They are hanged on cranes, as in Iran, and
thrown from roofs of buildings. LGBT-community, “Doctors Without Borders”,
“Christians for Human right”, “Rabies for Human right”? Of course, they are
fully focused on the fight against Gaza
blockade!
Like primitive cultures,
Islam of the Middle East rejects any and all
manifestations of civilization, even if it’s a dead civilization. It’s the only culture that fights against
antiquities: Buddhist temples in Afghanistan,
Palmyra, Tuareg
sanctuary. It destroys anyone who belongs to other religions, whether Yazidis,
Christians, Zoroastrians and Bahá’ís.
They
live in the permanent atmosphere of paranoia. Their own troubles they justify
with theories of conspiracies, but not with their own miscalculations. They
believe in “Sharks of Mossad”, as the governor of South Sinai, Mohammad Abdul
Fadhil Shousha: in “Israeli wild boars” that destroy agricultural fields in the
West Bank, as it was claimed by President Mahmoud Abbas; in “Israeli wild
hyenas” that were released by Israeli settlers in the West Bank to frighten
Palestinian people (by the way, Palestinian people triumphed “Zionist” hyena:
in 2015 they cornered and stoned the miserable animal to death in Hebron); in
“supernatural rats”, as it was published in July 2008 by the official
Palestinian news agency Wafa to cause panic in East Jerusalem.
“The
Jews have the greatest powers of sorcery, and they make use of this tool”,
claimed Mehdi Taeb, a friend of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and the
head of Khamenei’s Ammar Base think tank. Not so bad for “think tank” thinking,
eh? They are sure that the ISIS is the result of a conspiracy of CIA and Mossad,
that Coca-Cola and Pepsi contain pork and alcohol to poison Muslims. Do you know the case of natural cataclysms?
Mallam Abass Mahmud, a Muslim cleric in Ghana, explains: “Allah gets
annoyed when males engage in sexual encounters and such disgusting encounter
causes earthquake.”
Like
in primitive cultures, there is no hint of self-criticism. India, China,
Asian and Christian countries in Africa forgot
about colonialism, although they experienced plenty of grief and humiliation.
The Middle East was a mandated territory for 20 years only, in the period
between the world wars, but Arabs still blame the West for all their of
miseries. The civilization that was great at some point, has now slipped to
primordial culture, but apparently it is not the lowest point of their
fall. In May 2013, the world witnessed
something horrifying: Abu Sakkar, the leader of “Al-Farooq” group (now a part
of “Jabhat al-Nusra”), carved the heart of Assad’s dead soldier out and ate the
human flesh. Comrades supported him yelling “Allah Akbar”. It was not a single
incident. In November 2013, Theodore Shoebat wrote, quoting Arabian news source
Zaman al-Wasal and Orient News Television, that Kuru disease caused by
cannibalism only had been spreading in Syria. According to Michigan State
University, in 2014 only there were
about 8 to 10 cases of Kuru registered in Syria. It was written, “Kuru
re-emerged in the Muslim community recently among Syrian rebels, who reportedly
used to eat the hearts of victims. Two of these rebels were then hospitalized
and transferred to Germany
to be treated for the disease, which signified the emergence of the disease in Syria”.
It’s
a ritual cannibalism, a terrible relic of the primeval world. Oh, what a lovely
cultural diversity! The involution of
Islam is just one side of the coin. The other one, which is not less
horrifying, is the spiritual degradation of the West that welcomes the
primordial predatory world with cute teddy bears, songs about peace and
flowers. Anti-Utopia has come true.
