From The Heart of an Honest Muslim
“I am a Muslim by faith, a Christian by spirit, a Jew by heart, and above all I am a human being.” says Dr. Tawfik Hamid.
I was born a Muslim and lived all my life as a follower of Islam.
After the barbaric terrorist attacks done by the hands of my fellow Muslims everywhere on this globe, and after the too many violent acts by Islamists in many parts of the world, I feel responsible as a Muslim and as a human being to speak out and tell the truth to protect the world and Muslims as well from a coming catastrophe and war of civilizations.
I have to admit that our current Islamic teaching creates violence and hatred toward non-Muslims. We Muslims are the ones who need to change. Until now we have accepted polygamy, the beating of women by men, and killing those who convert from Islam to other religions.
We have never had a clear and strong stand against the concept of slavery or wars, to spread our religion and to subjugate others to Islam and force them to pay a humiliating tax called jizia. We ask others to respect our religion while all the time we curse non-Muslims loudly (in Arabic) in our Friday prayers in the mosques.
What message do we convey to our children when we call the Jews “descendants of the pigs and monkeys”? [Yet, both Arabs and Jews are descendants of Ibrahim (Abraham)!] Is this a message of love and peace, or a message of hate?
I have been into [Christian] churches and [Jewish] synagogues where they were praying for Muslims. While all the time, we curse them, and teach our generations to call them “infidels”, and to hate them.
We immediately jump in a ‘knee jerk reflex’ to defend Prophet Mohammad when someone accuses him of being a pedophile while, at the same time, we are proud with the story in our Islamic books that he married a young girl seven years old [Aisha] when he was above 50 years old.
I am sad to say that many, if not most of us, rejoiced in happiness after September 11th and after many other terror attacks.
Muslims denounce these attacks to look good in front of the media, but we condone the Islamic terrorists and sympathise with their cause. Until now our ‘reputable’ top religious authorities have never issued a fatwa or religious statement to proclaim Bin Laden as an apostate, while an author, like Rushdie, was declared an apostate who should be killed according to Islamic Shari’a law just for writing a book criticizing Islam.
Muslims demonstrated to get more religious rights as we did in France to stop the ban on the hijab (head scarf), while we did not demonstrate with such passion and in such numbers against the terrorist murders. It is our absolute silence against the terrorists that gives the energy to these terrorists to continue doing their evil acts.
We Muslims need to stop blaming our problems on others or on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. As a matter of honesty, Israel is the only light of democracy, civilization, and human rights in the whole Middle East.
We kicked out the Jews with no compensation or mercy from most of the Arab countries to make them “Jews-free countries” while Israel accepted more than a million Arabs to live there, have their own nationality, and enjoy their rights as human beings. In Israel, women cannot be beaten legally by men, and any person can change his/her belief system with no fear of being killed by the Islamic law of ‘apostasy,’ while in our Islamic world people do not enjoy any of these rights.
I agree that the ‘Palestinians’ suffer, but they suffer because of their corrupt leaders and not because of Israel.
It is not common to see Arabs who live in Israel leaving to live in the Arab world. On the other hand, we used to see thousands of Palestinians going to work with happiness in Israel, its ‘enemy.’ If Israel treats Arabs badly as some people claim, surely we would have seen the opposite happening.
We Muslims need to admit our problems and face them. Only then we can treat them and start a new era to live in harmony with human mankind. Our religious leaders have to show a clear and very strong stand against polygamy, pedophilia, slavery, killing those who convert from Islam to other religions, beating of women by men, and declaring wars on non-Muslims to spread Islam.
Then, and only then, do we have the right to ask others to respect our religion. The time has come to stop our hypocrisy and say it openly: ‘We Muslims have to change !
Dr. Hamid is an Egyptian scholar and author of the article. The world needs more people like him—ones who have the courage to face-up to reality.

You Don’t Deal with Terrorists
How dare the world communities led by U.S. allow themselves to make “deal” with the terrorist State of the IRI? The US State Department has described Iranian regime as an “active state sponsor of terrorism," why? Because Mullahs’ regime has killed American Marines by bomb, because Mullahs’ regime has killed American soldiers using IED, because Mullahs’ regime supports terrorist groups abroad, because Mullahs’ regime has a dreadful human rights record at home, and because Mullahs’ regime helps bloodthirsty Bashar al-Assad in killing Syrian people. ............................................................. No cause justifies terrorism; the World should not be soft on terrorism but must respond strong and fight this evil to eradicate its root from the surface of the earth.
Obsolete types of Governments for the 21st Century
In the 21st century the Monarchy, Theocratic, and Communism are considered obsolete and impractical type regimes whose outcome are nothing more than autocracy and corruption in addition to fostering slavery and idolatry for its own people. …………….. The only down-to-earth type government is the one OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE AND FOR THE PEOPLE that can bring freedom and prosperity for its grassroots. And that is a secular democratic republic government based on the principle of human rights. The overriding characteristic of this demotic type regime is its short-cycle default that provides for the leader to govern, in other word it roots out any long-term opportunity for the sovereignty, which is the key element in institutionalizing corruption in the society.
If the World Wants to Witness Peace on Earth
If the World Powers really want to bring peace and prosperity to the world, they have to eradicate the source of terrorism in our globe, which has been deeply rooted in Iran by the terrorist Mullahs occupiers. It is these Islamic zombies in Iran who are behind all the inhuman crimes against its own people and across not only the Middle East, including Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Syria, etc, but all over the globe. As long as they are alive the world will not witness the peace it deserves. If GWB (George Without Brain) had attacked Iran instead of Iraq in 2003 (miscalculation due to the lack of brain or too much oil-polluted brain) and exterminated these Islamic zombies, the world would have never been in this mess today. Again nobody should ever expect peace on our earth as long as the terrorist IRI mullahs are alive.
Islamic Regime in Iran, a Puppet of Foreign Powers
If it wasn’t for the continuous step-by-step support of the World Powers, these lousy Mullahs, headed by yesterday-beggar and today-criminal billionaire KHAMENEI and the professional crook RAFSANJANI, could never enforce this criminal regime of bunch of thugs and ruffians over the people of Iran for more than 38 years. Alongside our struggle on raising awareness among the Iranian grassroots against ignorance, we have to point a major part of our efforts to counteract and defy the revival subsidizing source for this brutal and puppet regime by the so-called hegemony of Western and Eastern Powers, and ask them to redirect the focus of their provision and care toward the oppressed people of Iran.
Former U.S. President Joined the Terrorist State of IRI
On September 27, 2013 former President Hussein Obama stretched out his hand and offered diplomatic engagement to the terrorist Hassan Rouhani through a phone call. The United States has long-standing concerns over Iran’s nuclear program, sponsorship of terrorism, and human rights record. The United States State Department has described Iran as an “active state sponsor of terrorism. President Obama has in fact answered the Iranian’s plea, (when in 2009 they shouted “Obama Obama ya ba oona ya ba ma”, meaning you are either with them or with us), and abandoned them by taking the terrorist IRI’s side. Iranian will never forget his disfavor to them.
Fear is the main source of superstition
Fear is the main source of Superstition, and one of the main sources of cruelty. To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom. Bertrand Russell
The worst illiterate is the political illiterate
“The worst illiterate is the political illiterate, he doesn’t hear, doesn’t speak, nor participates in the political events. He doesn’t know the cost of life, the price of the bean, of the fish, of the flour, of the rent, of the shoes and of the medicine, all depends on political decisions. The political illiterate is so stupid that he is proud and swells his chest saying that he hates politics. The imbecile doesn’t know that, from his political ignorance is born the prostitute, the abandoned child, and the worst thieves of all, the bad politician, corrupted and flunky of the national and multinational companies.” ........... (Bertolt Brecht)
Struggle for Democracy
The uprising movement in Iran is not about the election nor it's about either candidates, rather it's about regime change.

Oppressed People of Iran Warn the Green Reformers
You the Green Reformers and/or any Religious Nationalists get out of the way of the oppressed people of Iran. Iranians will never put their faith and trust into the hands of parasitic mullahs, the puppets of the world powers’ hegemony. After the fall of IRI, a secular democratic government based on principle of human rights will be secured in Iran. Our nation will not have a national religion, people with or without any religious faith will live together, while nobody will be questioned for his faith conviction. Any religious practice will be performed at homes and places made for this purpose and will not be allowed in public.
Bani Sadr, Vertex of the Beegh Trianlge
Bani Sadr and two other Islamic members, Ghotb zadeh and Ebrahim Yazdi, who were known as the vertices of the “Beegh Triangle” (meaning triangle of dumbs), were the three stinky Islamic commissioners and the foreign powers’ mercenaries, whose commissions were to expedite the establishment of the provisional government for delivering the country to Islamic Mullahs. In other word these three people were the pioneers responsible for the misery that our nation has entangled in today. Bani Sadr, this Islamic jackass hasn’t quit his charlatanry yet and continues to deceive people by his Islamic political prattling. He keeps dreaming of returning to Iranian political stage, he will take his dream to his grave with him.
Defending Iranian Democracy (DID) 
What Dr Tawfik has stated is exactly happening in Malaysia in 2016!
Knowing where and with whom you are, get out of there and Become a Christian.
This is the first and only article I have ever read that actually speaks the truth about Islam. While most Muslims are quite and non-jihadist the problem lies in the hate-inspired teaching and the underlying support of the terrorists by remaining SILENT. If it was declared loudly and clearly that they were opposed to all this terror and fear mongering, hate and barbaric behaviour we as nations would not be as fearful of allowing them into our country. Compassion towards the suffering refugees is on the heart of many westerners and a desire to help is overwhelming BUT there is a very great fear that by allowing many into our country it will be the start of unrest and the peace we have lived with will be shattered. I have never been so conflicted in knowing what to do. I believe love always wins over hate and I pray that love, mercy,forgiveness,tolerance and compassion will prevail and that through this many Muslims may see the light that Westerners are not all infidels just as we can see that not all Muslims are terrorists.
In summary, I would like to ask all that Muslims that are opposed to this terror to come alongside us to stop this radical teaching of hate and destruction of all that do not embrace Islam and to be bold and speak out loud so we all can hear.
It takes bravery and principles and empathy for all other human beings ! This man has both as well as love for all in his heart !
Islam needs to teach less hatred and violence to non Muslims !
And until those who encourage these disgusting acts against humanity are outted it will continue to happen .
If you choose to live in a different country that differs from Islam ways YOU should respect that country and its laws if not move !!!!!!
Because if non Muslims disrespect their laws they are beatten killed or jailed . In Islamic countries ! I
It’s great to hear the truth being told !!!
Amen brother
Dear Mr Hamid, reading your article I really doubt you are a Muslim and I am sure you never lived in an Arab country your article got 2 right things while the whole rest is fake ideas that we usually hear in the western media books and poplar’s discussions they are so superficial to avoid saying stupid conclusions.
The letter of the LAW KILLS but the SPIRIT GIVES LIFE.
In this case the spirit gives LIFE.
LOVE YOUR ENEMY this is the challenge for our time.
