In the early days of Islam, a month after his arrival in Medina, Mohammed ordered the assassination of a 120 years old jewish man named Abu Afak. The only crime this aged man had committed was to compose satirical verses critical to Mohammad. In which he lamented that people had become followers of Muhammad and have turned against each other. He wrote that Muhammad was a crazy man who arbitrarily made rules on 'what is prohibited' and 'what is allowed', and who had caused his followers to surrender their intelligence and to become hostile to their old friends and allies.
And when 'Asma', a Jewish women outraged that she composed a poem cursing the men of Medina for letting a stranger divide them and make them assassinate a venerable old man. Angry Mohammad ordered his followers to kill her.
Muhammad wanted to send the message that any opposition or criticism of him would be dealt with mercilessly. That is the message Muslims want to deliver today to us, where the threat often only needs be implied. They follow the example set by their prophet,
whom they regard as a greatest strategist. They want to create a boundary of fear so they may establish their supremacy through terror.
Islam has advanced in terror. Muslims are convinced that terror and deception will make them victorious. They have an example of their prophet. His successes are their inspiration.
The Islamic world is sick. It would be short-sightedness to deny the fact that the cause of this sickness is Islam. Almost every crime, every abuse and inhumanity perpetrated by Muslims is inspired by the examples set by Muhammad and justified through his words and deeds. This is the inconvenient truth that so many would rather not talk about.
