There is no freedom of dissent, no room for personal choice and no opinion other than what its founder Muhammed made is to be followed. And then the semi-educated abd mostly hateful mullahs prescribe the norms of social behaviour- never ever giving the followers a chance to rebut them. Any comments?

I'm just astounded that the site has been so silent after the C4 programmes on Monday evening about the mosque in Birmingham where they were all giving it the big "I am" all the time. Arrogance didn't bloody come into it ! ! ! Yet nobody complained about it (that I'm aware of) for fear of being called the R word - yet that lot could get away with it all the time simply by coming out with a load of old bullshit(e) like "Oh, we rented the hall out to a different organisation". It's always the same with them - it's never them, always somebody else. All I can say to that is My Ar se!

Very easy....
The Mullahs were created by God to Test the believers and the non-believers.
They themselves are instruments of Faiths. They are made stubborn by God, knowlegdeable and inspirational......so that somewhere on Earth or even in the Universe fighting against Muslims is dangerous.
Understand the Master Plan of God....that Islam fell upon one of the most barbaric and treacherous race on the face of this earth....
to be......
Survivable and Persistent till the end of times.....that is the painful Dilemma Moderate muslims and non-muslims must suffer.
No matter how peaceful the teachings of Islam and its followers are, God has prepared Islam to persist, be it by violence or be it by peace. Why? Because it is necessary for the survivability of the Human race.
In the Monotheistic Religions, there is always the Messiah and Armageddon (the great war). All this is done in preparation for those events, albeit through Gods Subtlety and Masterful Manipulations.
That is also the same reason that no matter how barren the Middle East and how barbaric the Arabs were, they were given OIL by God....
If not then there is no reason for their existence because there were dangerous in Mid Times and every nation on earth would wipe them out before the reach the Industrial Age.......
Thus Islam falls on them First......
About Freedom of Dissent and Personal Choice is mostly restricted by the Mullahs themselves(for political & personal agendas maybe) unless they are strictly governed by the Koran and the Prophet Muhammad.
Even then, given circumstances Islam as a religion is always flexible when required.
So to answer youre question again:, Yes Islam in those parts of areas on Earth is and will always be "arrogant in its pronouncements"
If it ever sways here and there like a reed in the wind, then I advise you to watch out,,,,,, the Coming of the Anti-Christ,Messiah,Armageddon and Gog and Magog is at hand........

1)-Not only Islam allows dissent but also re-entry at anytime.However, if somebody keeps on doing this, he shall face punishment for making fun of the relationship with God.The tennents of Islam as propounded by Prophet of Islam have deep wisdom in them, if you cannot accept them from your heart and soul, nobody can make you believe in them.It is only the argument whichh is encouraged in Islam not the coercion whic is allowed.Unfortunately some of the mullahs are following the deranged thinking which the narrow minded human beings of previous ages were following since the time of Adam and during the time of every prophet later.It is nothing new of Muslim mullahs but the same old technique.When Pharaoh was planning atrocities over the followers of Moses one of his courtiers gave him a piece of advice-let Moses be on his own,if he is liar, he shall scumb to his own lies and you do not need to do anything.Mullahs shall vanquish because of their stupid actions but Islam which is a message of "Love for All Hatred for None" is going to live for ever.

To be honest, there are many of us in the same category from my experience. Having said that, I can say that I understand what you mean, living, as I do, in an area which is about 60 per cent muslim.
To address your question, I think the answer is insecurity. If they admitted the truth they would have to say that there are very many doubtful and questionable points concerning their religion and the Qur'an. That is, once you get to the actual writing of the Qur'an and what happened before that up to the time Mohammed is supposed to have started getting his dreams/visions.
It is for this reason that they are so aggressive about their religion and their attempts to undermine Christianity and the Bible in such a farcical manner.

I would not use the term Islam so loosely, it is a religion and just like any other religion there is a need for self-discipline to prove your faith. Tolerance in your views of Islam will help you understand and coexist with the ideologies of the religion. Arrogant is a strong word, if you say that with Islam you must also ask the same with Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Paganism, Taoism, and so on. (FYI I am agnostic.)

Pretty hypocritical I think, with all your Thou Shalt Nots and burning in endless fires and riders of the Apocalypse etc.
Christianity sounds like something from Lord of the Rings. The other is just about Alibabi and the forty thieves or Arabian Knights.
In other words they are all allegorical.

Islam, in the core, is all about freedom of personal choice.
As a proof, I shall state, that I am only responsible for my own actions and not the actions of others unless I have somehow coerced them into it.
In Islam, God states, that everybody is responsible for their own sins and blessings and no one may pay anyone out of hell with personal sacrifices.
That is the greatest gift anyone can give you.
If youre going to criticize actions, then do so by being fair and seperating the core of the religion from the way the people apply it.
Which are two seperate things.
Why do you think Malcolm X chose to become Muslim??

It seems to share that with Christians of certain denominations. It may be a neurological predisposition to assume that only what one believes is correct, and consequently if anyone believes anything else, they are wrong.
This sort of thing extends to the point at which the faithful of whatever persuasion can talk themselves into believing that killing the unbeliever is perfectly ok.

Muslims believe that Islam and the Qur'aan is from Allah, as are the narrations of Muhammad alayhi salaata was salaam, therefore Muslims follow them strictly because they are guidance from the One who knows better than us because He ta'ala created us. People are free to do as they wish, Muslims choose to follow this guidance.

Jesus said 'No one comes to the Father except through Me'
Muslims believe Christ was JUST a prophet. Satan is deceiving millions into believing this lie.
Islam is a cult whos road leads to eternal torment. I'm sure Saddam could attest to that right now.
