Does Islam need to be reformed or do YOU?

By Sami Zaatari

In today’s world we here many anti-Muslim and anti-Islamic haters saying that Islam needs to be reformed, that it needs to be changed, basically a new form and interpretation of Islam must be made.

 

Of course this is not surprising at all, why should it? Of course the Jews, the Christians, and the atheists would want Islam to change, to be ‘reformed’ as they call it which is a simple twist of words to hide their true hidden agenda. You see folks when these people say that Islam needs to be reformed, what they basically mean is that Islam needs to go, when they Islam needs to be reformed they mean that Islam has to change to a set of rules and styles that fit their own backward paganistic and secular ways of life.

 

The Quran already warned us about this concerning the Jews and Christians:

 

 Never will the Jews or the Christians be satisfied with thee unless thou follow their form of religion. Say: “The Guidance of Allah,-that is the (only) Guidance.” Wert thou to follow their desires after the knowledge which hath reached thee, then wouldst thou find neither Protector nor helper against Allah.(The Noble Quran  2:120)

 

So God has already warned us Muslims that hostile Jews and Christians will never be satisfied with us until we follow their way of life. Since the context of the verse and the verse itself is directed against hostile anti-Islamic Christians and Jews who hate Islam and the Muslims, there is no reason why the verse cannot also be used in a general sense to include hostile atheists as well, hostile atheists who also will never be pleased or satisfied with Muslims until we follow their backward way of life as well.

 

So as I said above, when these people say that we need to reform Islam, it basically means that they want us to change Islam in such a way that it is no longer really Islam, but it is a western secular system which is only called Islam, but in fact is not Islam and has nothing to do with Islam.

 

Now it is not non-Muslims who ask for this only, moderate Muslims do the same thing, moderate Muslims who go around preaching the same thing that these anti-Islamic’s are preaching. And let me make one point clear, I do not believe that moderate Muslims are Muslims, moderate Muslims are nothing more than apostates waiting to happen, or they are a group of deviant heretics who’s heresies take them beyond the pale of misguidance rather their opinions and views is so bad it takes them outside of Islam.

 

Moderate Muslims and their western anti-Islamic pals always say Islam needs to be reformed, however so does it? Does Islam and the Muslim world need reformation or is it that the Non-Muslim world and these moderates who need reformation?

 

Well let us take a test of the Do’s and don’ts in Islam and the secular western system that these people call us to, and we will see who is the backward one needing reformation.

 

So let us proceed:

 

Islam	Secularism
Against open fornication, calls for chastity and self-restraint and to wait till one gets married.	for open fornication, no problems in people going out and having sex as many times as you wish without being married.
Against adultery, adultery to be punished as marriage is something very pure and a deep bond.	for adultery, it is not to be punished at all, it is a free open choice of the couple and is perfectly legal and legitimate for a spouse to go and have an affair with other people, and even go to swinger parties!
Against the consumption of alcohol.	for the consumption of alcohol, which leads to crazy drunk people on the streets who make clowns of themselves, as well as a lot of road accidents, and domestic violence.
Against the practice of gambling.	for gambling which leads to several people losing their money which also leads to problems between the spouses and breakdown of the family.
Against same sex marriages that leads to confusion, and which goes beyond the pale of human nature.	for same sex marriages, men marrying men, and even having kids! Leads to complete breakdown of the child’s moral upbringing, how can a child have 2 fathers? A child needs a mother and vice versa a child needs a father as well.
Calls for women to dress up moderately and to cover up for chastity.	No such thing as women covering up, women are encouraged to dress very lightly revealing a lot, while women who cover up are abused and banned from work-places and are called ?oppressed’.
Against pornography and prostitution.	for pornography and prostitution, both are legal ways of working in the secular way.
Against public disorder, offending and mocking and provoking others and respecting others people culture and ways.	for mocking, insulting, offending, and insulting other people under the excuse of ?free speech’ while not respecting the culture and ways of other people, demanding others change for them or be deported!

 

I could really continue to list many other differences between Islam and the secularism which the anti-Islamics continue to call us to. But it pretty much is clear as to who really needs to reform and who does not! And it certainly is not Islam!

 

And Allah Knows Best!
