Everyone Should Give Up Their Beliefs and Embrace Islam
November 22nd 2008 07:31
The most vocal crowd of any ideology has the same thing to say, 'if only everyone believed what I did there would be peace'. I don't care if you're Muslim, Buddhist, Christian, Atheist, whatever, this is common to all of them.
This kind of loathing for other ideologies can be masked in any number of ways. The one I've been seeing more of is from the Atheist/secular humanist crowd where the advocation of said ideologies is done through the casual dismissal of other ideologies. This is a kind of reverse of how things work, usually it's 'my beliefs are better than yours so you should give yours up and start thinking like I do' wherein here we have 'your beliefs suck so you should give them up and start thinking like I do'.
Here's a real-world example:

Sounds dreamy, no? Lets switch secular humanists with Muslims,
Yes it works just as effectively, just because 'secular humanism' is about not accepting religion does not make it any less of an ideology and those who start with the 'secular humanism is the way to happiness!' routine they'd be no better than anyone else who decides he/she holds the one true belief that will save the world.

Secular Humanists do not wish to take over the world by force, they have no desire to control and tyrannise. They simply hope that one day, humanity at large will realise the we have the capacity to improve our world and own lives by rejecting ideologies that divide us such as nationalism and religion and embracing in their stead, our own humanity and mortality and simply "living for today".

Muslims do not wish to take over the world by force, they have no desire to control and tyrannise. They simply hope that one day, humanity at large will realise the we have the capacity to improve our world and own lives by rejecting ideologies that divide us such as nationalism and (non-Islamic) religion and embracing in their stead, Allah and Muhammad as well as all the prophets before him and "living for today".

All information that proves their case is accepted and anything that contradicts their case is rejected..
It is the perfect mental loop that requires no critical thinking at all.
You cannot use logical with fanaticism.
It does not listen and soon you will become the enemy.
