It is dictatorship from above

Islam means submission, that means mental slavery. It always was and always will be dictatorship from the one who claims to know the will and voice of the islamic god (or god-concept). Mental slavery is incompatible with human dignity, freedoms, rights, honesty and self-respect.

If the muslim top-leader is reasonable then you may be able to breathe a bit freely. Is that how you imagine human life? A good muslim is rarely in a position to occupy the top position in an islam-based soceity, and if he does then how long, how reliable, how secure?

... There are guys trying to present a sanitised-idealised version of islam and we are suppsed to be fooled by it and feel good and safe. What humbug!

Islam is, in its core spirit, a totalitarian ideology misusing the word god (allah). Any other understanding of islam is misleading, naive, foolish, wishful, cynical or dangerous. You cannot separate islam from its inherent fascism.
