Hmm. a very legit question. .but a twisted and non commital answer. That is the way it has been always... anyway.. khair have said enough :)) Great article Alamgir. Really admire the soul searching that you have intended to do. Every religion has to do that... and get out of it rejuvinated and refreshed.

alamgir, anamika, buddha: perhaps should have refrained from commenting here:) the reason why i avoid these debates is manifold – without being facetious and in no particular order: lack of time, motivation, lack of depth in knowledge about hermeneutics, recognising or sensing wastefulness of my time and the reader's time ..plus more... one of the reason such debates... if they can be called debates... remain inconclusive is the preponderating reliance on source/s... of the younger major religions islam is the most well 'documented' one and one can almost go to the source of any action in the prophet's life...yet there is an inherent dichotomy in these written words....both in qur'an and in the body of narrations called sunnah...in the former particularly...with its un-chronoloigcal final compilation, abrogation of what came earlier, etc...disagreement over meanings of some core words between the ulema in the past... a critical mind can deduce a meaning suiting their p-o-v out of those very written words...(at the perill of ignoring the egalitarian spirit and intent)...imho this is one of qur'ans greatest asset too...to draw newer meanings from changing times...but it is also open to subversion...khair have said enough so thanks but no thanks:) peace!

Hi, Alamgir, interesting article. I guess the question I have might be answered in the second part of your article, but I'll ask anyway. Your article points out what the facts are for the situation, but I am also more curious to know what the driving factors and motivations are. Perhaps this is something we can discuss here? Temporal - echoing sentiments - what untruths do you refer to?! Please do illuminate me, so that we can debate this further....

Sometimes, I wonder if the victim/aggressor mentality of Arabs is brought on by genetic problems associated with poligamy. It's like the whole population needs bipolar medication. Or, maybe the bottled up rage could be assuaged by taking up the bottle.

Any religion is good, but the dumbest is the best - this is an alledged statement by a Pope of long ago. Religion is usually conducted by a very small, smart minority and practiced by the less educated and in many cases poor majority. Education is the answer. However, since stupidity will always prevail, there is not much hope that the masses will ever wake up. W.W.

Greetings Hocus man You have enough manure in that article than a local farm, most of the points you have dwelled on can even be contradicted using western propaganda media's such as CNN / FOX and the BBC let alone the real fact factories that exist. Its a shame you have such feelings may you one day regret the lies you write. Evening Hocus man

Very strong opinions in this article, Alamgir. Am also intrigued by the "untruths." Temporal, what are they? And this is a sincere question - I really would like to know.

[there is a lot of truth here mixed with lots more untruths] What are those untruths? We may have an open discussion about it.

alamgir: there is a lot of truth here mixed with lots more untruths...reminds me of gen zina-ul-haq's quote from 60 minutes: take a lot of hotch-potch and mix it with more hotch-potch and it wil remain hotch-potch good luck with deconstructing cobwebs in your mind peace! :)

There are not enough psychiatrists and psychiatric hospitals in the world to treat the anger of the Islamic societies. Once they would be cured of this anger instilled in them by their religious fanatic and their leaders, the Islamic societies would see the light of their anger and really turn it towards their real oppressors, their real tyrants and abusers: their leaders who have been poisoning their minds. Perhaps then they will also realise that their own outspoken writers and free thinking people, historians and people who could make a real change in improving the quality of their lives and improving the status in regarding world wide progress. The people who could make a change for them are either in prisons or have been assassinated.
