Good muslim, bad muslim routine

Mr. Mansoor, living in that exemplary Muslim culture, Pakistan, having perhaps finally realised that his former 'crush the skulls and break your bones' method of Islamic proselytising falls on deaf ears, now writes:

"In few words pulling people towards Islam is as same as a well wisher yells at or pulls at a blindfolded person just to protect him/her falling in a deep ditch."

Or a spruiker outside a strip joint - inviting all and sundry in. But instead of just one or two strippers - you're promised 72 . But then you find out some of the conditions attached, one being that you have to be dead to enjoy them. Other conditions on entry to this wonderfully entertaining Islamic venue:

Having to face towards a black meteorite in Mecca and raising buttocks into the air 5 times a day;
Actually believing that a pedophile warlord caravan raider was some sort of prophet;
Having to hold the absurd notion that the 'prophet' was the last prophet' ;
Believing in such nonsense as Buraqs ;
Believing that the 'prophet' split the moon with his little finger ;
Believing it's neccessary for Israel to be destroyed and if possible, all Jews to be at least neutralised; Believing that all non-Muslims are at best, second class;
Developing and encouraging neurotic obsessions about personal hygiene;
Having to make a journey to a small desert city in Arabia at least once in a lifetime;
Thinking that it's quite OK to push your archaic belief system on people who have no use for it and just do not want to hear;
Thinking that killing apostates is OK
Thinking that death is a suitable for gays
Thinking that Sharia is anything more than a primitive legal system.
Developing a blindness to the fact that muslim cultures are backward and that somehow the introduction of their absurd beliefs is somehow helpful.

etc etc etc ad nauseam

".... We the Muslims are called different names but when we try to bring people under the umbrella of Islam that is all because we want maximum number of people be safe from hell fire! "

Oh, so it's all for our benefit now? And not the fact that the West has a lot more to offer and you'd like to see it incorporated in an extended worldwide caliphate, no matter what the cost? How magnanimous of you. Thank you for your sincerity and deep concern.

BTW, how are the Taliban this morning?

Mr. Mansoor is well known for having an open, inquiring mind. Perhaps he could answer some questions e.g. why he thinks that 1.2 billion Chinese (who will never become Muslim) or 800 million Indians (who will never become Muslim) or more than 1.5 billion Christians (who will never become Muslim) are going to hell? Where exactly is hell if it's not experienced in your own consciousness? If he starts sleeping with a nine year old girl - or orders the beheading of 800 Jews - will he go to hell? Is it possible for Mr. Mansoor to admit that his ideas about the nature of consciousness and the cosmos and the true nature of consciousness and the cosmos are two entirely different things? In fact - has that idea ever even occurred to him?
