We Westerners are most familiar with two religions -- Christianity and Judaism -- and we think that all religions must be similar.
But the Sharia culture of Islamic fundamentalists is not in the "love-thy-neighbor" tradition of those two.
A fairly stark example of this is seen in this recent quote from a professor of Islamic law who is often seen on Saudi TV:
Sheikh Abd Al-Aziz Fawzan Al-Fawzan, a professor of Islamic law at Al-Imam University, who frequently appears on Saudi TV recently made anti-Christian comments on Saudi Al-Majd TV.
Al-Fawzan: "Someone who denies Allah, worships Christ, son of Mary, and claims that God is one third of a trinity - do you like these things he says and does? Don't you hate the faith of such a polytheist who says God is one third of a trinity, or who worships Christ, son of Mary?
"Someone who permits and commits fornication - as is the case in Western countries, where fornication is permitted and not considered a problem - don't you hate this? Whoever says 'I don't hate him' is not a Muslim, my brother."
[...]
"This is not racism, my brother. We don't hate a polytheist because of his color, gender, blood, country, or because he is American, European, Chinese, or Asian. They are our partners in humanity. An American Muslim may be better in Allah's view than all the Arabs."
[...]
"But if this person is an infidel - even if this person is my mother or father, God forbid, or my son or daughter - I must hate him, his heresy, and his defiance of Allah and His prophet. I must hate his abominable deeds. Moreover, this hatred must be positive hatred. It should make me feel compassion for him, and should make me guide and reform him."
Just try and fathom that for a moment. This a professor of Islamic law. Note that Islam has a law they want to impose on everybody, unlike the religions we are familiar with. Islamic law is called Sharia. Under Sharia, a woman's testimony is worth 1/2 that of a man's in court. Under Sharia, people are stoned to death for the crime of "fornication." Under Sharia, anyone who's not a Muslim must pay a tax, and assume second-class citizen status, or convert to Islam. That's the law this Al-Fawzan is a professor of.
And this professor is flat-out promoting hate. He calls it by that name: he says he's talking about "hate." He says it's his duty as a Muslim to hate non-Muslims.
According to this noted professor of Islamic law, Islam is a religion of hate, specifically, hatred of non-Muslims.
It's a self-perpetuating system, the main characteristic of which is to kill everyone who isn't part of the system, or convert them to that system. Other than that it has little meaning or purpose of any kind.
Conclusions:
