Industry

In the past 5 years alone, a nascent industry has burgeoned up out of nowhere. An industry against the religion known as Islam. Many a time has Islam been persecuted but never has an entire industry developed over it. Notice how Muslims who apostate themselves into Christianity become filthy rich. Name one person who has left Islam and lived to talk about it who is not filthy rich or supported by the multi million dollar evangelical machine?

Denounce Islam and you will make dollars and gain friends who would ordinarily denounce you at face value or would take no interest in you what so ever.

Fascinating really. Some would argue that I shouldn't bring this to attention because it is almost like telling teen age high school girls in the west that they could make exorbitantly ridiculous amounts of money if they adulterated themselves into the booming prostitution industry.

Shammed out shortcuts to easy worldly rewards ! Just like the sex industry which is the oldest industry in the world, we now have the 'denounce Islam' industry which just happens to be the newest industry in the world at the time of this post.

Who Do You Think You're Calling Terrorist ..?

In an ever changing world where one already has to go through extreme lengths in order to keep his or her roots & individuality in tact, a new wave of combative antisemitism vs. Islamophobia has arisen. Making it endemically impossible for one to practice the religion of Islam moderately or freely, without being labelled a fundamentalist follower of the cult of death called Islam by radical antagonist elements.

It is almost like their behaviour taunts us easy going Muslims to actually go out and become terrorists or at least be instigated into doing something stupid that would inadvertently make us out to be the savage cult that they so precariously make us out to be. Making the only option to get around such regressive thinking, is to actually join in a little bit, in the smear campaign against Islam. This will avail us the brownie points required to be in their good favor & gain there so badly needed acceptance. What .. ? Not me!

I have seen this malady on the numerous blogs of several Egyptians. The sad thing is the more they are against Islam & say pro Zionist anti-Islamic crap, the more popular this novelty is & their blogs become.

I mean everyone is entitled to their own opinions & everything but seriously, what the hell ever happened to believing in God & Country? What happened to ethics, morality, patriotism, belief and not selling out?

My frustration was vented a short while ago on someones blog, when I said that I was not in the habit of blindly pleasing my ex-colonial captors. Now get this, I was blasted by someone other than your typical Islam hater, it was a pro Islamic fellow whom I have since become pals with. But it was his initial reaction which got me thinking that there must be some sort of unwritten political code in the blog world, where one must adhere to a conceptual norm of moderation in order to appease the common crowd that erected these beliefs, this is what got me curious about blogging.

You are right to think that I would not like to be labelled a terrorist or have my religion made fun of in any way shape or form. But now that it has come down to it, although I am not a terrorist or a terrorist supporter, I will be glad to be called a terrorist before I join in the bashing of my very own religion.

No matter how misunderstood my religion is, your calling me a terrorist does nothing to corroborate your absurd claim that it is a bad religion. On the contrary, it is the simplest & most direct, completely unchanged religion in the Universe, case closed. So go ahead & call me a terrorist if that's what your ignoramus personalities require of you. Meanwhile I will be respecting all faiths whilst you continue not to leave mine alone. Why, because that's what well rounded moderate Muslims do.
