Illusion and desillusion

Submitted by Gabriel Ange (Germany), Feb 6, 2011 at 06:55

Dear Mr. Daniel Pipes, since the very first moment of the birth of Islam as a "religio-political mouvement, Muhammad behaved himself as a cruel despot. And since, starting with his successors, the Raschidîne Caliphs of whom three were massacred, there have been only dictatorship regimes. If Ommeyades or the Abbassides, cousins who both murdered one another. and since, all islamic regimes stretching from Morocco till Far East and Central Asia, only despotic regimes. The contemporian regimes are all despotic and totalitarian ones, the reason is one word, and this is "ISLAM" a word which is not compatible with democratie. Jesus freed the human being. But seven centuries later, Muhammad imprisoned him. So there is no compatibility between Islam and democratie. Amen and Halleluya.
