The Bible? Irrelevant.
The world is not filled with Christians and Jews who enslave women and treat their wives like chattel; who behead people for blasphemy; who throw homosexuals from tall buildings and then stone them if the fall doesn't kill them; who throw their wives and sisters and daughters off balconies (in Europe, no less) for the imaginary crime of "dishonoring" their family; who brutally murder anyone who wants to leave the faith; who flog bloggers for criticizing religion; who imprison atheists and agnostics; who condone child marriage and sex with prepubescent girls; and who call all of this 'moral' and 'divine commandment.'
It is Muslims, and almost exclusively Muslims, who do all these horrible things to themselves as well as to others. Why? Because it comes from their book and they believe in it with every fiber of their being - they really truly do - the way almost no Jew or Christian does about the Bible; else we'd be seeing the same happening in Israel and England and Canada and Brazil.
The Enlightenment and the Renaissance were products of Christian Europe when they had finally had enough of theocracy. The Jewish community has given us gifts of priceless art and scientific discovery of immeasurable importance to human progress. What has Islam given us but death and terror and lies and treachery and fourteen centuries of endless, needless bloodshed?
There was no 'Golden Age of Islam' - this idea is founded on a lie that has persisted throughout the centuries. Ever since the first western scholars who wrote about Islam were cowed into presenting a false, revisionist version of events that had Arabs and Muslims as the oppressed - when every piece of evidence from history tells us the opposite was (and is) true.
The spread of Islam was literally the bloodiest period of human history, laying waste to countless cultures, languages, and civilizations (just ask the Hindus) - taking credit for the work of others and giving nothing in return. Islam was spread by Arab warlords, and those who adopted it took on the same mentality; kill everyone who won't submit, take their possessions, and rape their women. There is no "Islamic Culture" - this is another lie; Muslim conquerors have never, not once in history, brought Art or Science or Music that enhanced a neighboring culture.
Islam is like the Borg Collective; they gain strength by assimilating the works of others, nothing more. And eventually they decline because their parasitic nature has nothing left to feed on. Hopefully, this time around, we don't let them take over Europe and cause centuries of warfare - Europe has seen enough of war.
Islam is desert, Arab, tribal warfare from 1500 years ago that has been allowed to hang around because it calls itself a religion when it is no such thing. Had the Mongols called what they did a religion I promise you a good portion of the world would be practicing Genghis-Khanism or some such nonsense. Islam is the worship of a bloodthirsty lunatic and his warped, sadistic worldview. Believe it.
