   Many millenia ago, and ancient Man probably saw a huge lightning bolt   
   strike a large tree or boulder, and split it in half. Heard the sound   
   of rolling thunder.   
      
      
   Shazam! Gods in the sky were born!   
      
      
   And with beads and rattles, incense (when that was invented), candles,   
   vestments and ribbons....Man has been `worshiping' ever since.   
      
      
   But...Man was not content to just do his own worshiping in his own way...   
   oh no! He insisted EVERYbody worship! Or else!   
      
      
   Thus...religious wars were born! Ancient Semites against Canaanites...   
   Children of Israel against Egyptians....Israel against Philistines...   
   Assyrians...Babalonians...Samaritans.....   
      
      
   Then....Jesus was born! He was self-proclaimed as the son of `the big   
   God in the sky'...   
      
      
   His death is surrounded with mystery...his followers concoct some tale   
   of him coming back to life and going up into the sky!   
      
      
   Wars are fought over centuries in his name. Many people are given the   
   option of `convert or die'. Many die.   
      
      
   Fast forward to arund 600 AD.   
      
      
   Up comes this smelly, lice-infested creepy-crawlie who molests children,   
   and claims he's Mohammad! Prophet of the only `true' god...Allah!   
      
      
   Allah speaks to Mohammad (beware of self-proclaimed prophets who claim   
   `God speaks to them and them only!), convinces a bunch of camel drivers,   
   merchants and rich guys who live in expensive tents, to join his army   
   (or else) and `fight the infidel!   
      
      
   They go out and slaughter thousands in the name of some made-up guy in   
   the sky (the `arab' sky), force women to be slaves their entire lives   
   with no rights, no personal property, and no end in sight.   
      
      
   Islam subjigates most of the Arab world with the scimitar and spear.   
      
      
   Meantime....Christianity spreads its message throughout the world by   
   the sword and hangman's noose.   
      
      
   The main message of both Christianity and Islam? Convert or die. Nice!   
      
      
   Christianity claims to be the religion of `love'. Islam? The religion   
   of `peace'.   
      
      
   But a quick look at the history of both religions tells you they are   
   neither one about `love' OR `peace'.   
      
      
   The only difference between the two is that Christianity hasn't murdered   
   anyone for not `converting' for a couple of centuries, now.   
      
      
   Islam, on the other hand, has been murdering people for not converting   
   since the day it was founded!   
      
      
   Here's the kick:   
      
      
   Remember HolySmoke? People in there cursed people for believing in any   
   `religion'. Condemned them for fools! Cursed them for being believers   
   in `spooks in the sky'.   
      
      
   And out in the world it was the same. They attacked prayer in schools.   
   They attacked prayer in public gatherings. They attacked the Nativity   
   Scene at Christmas time, demanding no such thing be placed on public   
   property. They even attacked it when it was displayed on a Church's   
   own property, as being too visible....forcing itself on those who had   
   a right to NOT be visibly assailed with religious symbology!   
      
      
   And the thinking was....`they couldn't believe that, in the modern day,   
   when we're putting men on the moon...transplanting organs to save lives,   
   that some people would still believe in some guy in the sky!   
      
      
   But....along comes Islam. Deadly, radical Islam. Deadly? Do you not hear   
   the calls for `convert or die' we are subjected to now and again that are   
   reported by the media?   
      
      
   Radical? Do you think cutting people's heads off on-camera isn't `radical'?   
      
      
   And the feminists? Do you not know what `sharia law' does to women? Are you   
   unaware that women are treated like property under sharia law? Sharia law   
   would set women back to before they were allowed to vote!   
      
      
   Islam is the modern-day Inquisition. Perpetrated by radical fanatics who   
   care nothing for human life. A religion run wild, started by a child   
   molester in dirty robes.   
      
      
   Where is the outrage? Where are all the female feminazis? How silent they   
   are.   
      
      
   Where is the outrage? Where are all the `condemners of religion in all its   
   forms'? How silent they are.   
      
      
   Where are all the protests about not being able to believe that, in this   
   modern day, when we're putting men on the moon...transplanting organs to   
   save lives...we have a religion forcing itself on the entire world, with   
   a `convert or die' message. Who cut people's heads off on-camera.   
      
      
   Where's the outrage? Why all the silence people?
