“It’s a full-throated defense of the tradition in which Islam is presented as the perfect egalitarian, scientific, pluralistic, modern religion that doesn’t have the flaws of all the other religions. … It remains to be seen if it will be seen as preaching to the choir, or if it will succeed in persuading people outside the Muslim community.”
Let’s briefly go over those claims of egalitarianism and pluralism… How can we square that with the persecution of non-mahoundian minorities in every single damn mahound-worshiping naiton on this planet? How about a woman being worth half a man, according to mahoundianism’s insane tenets and its sharia? How about how Arabs refer to blacks, even mahoundian ones, as ‘abd’ and ‘abed’, the singular and plural forms of the word SLAVE in Arabic? On egalitarianism and pluralism, islam/mahoundianism fails.
As for the claims that islam/mahoundianism is a “scientific” religion, let’s have another look at Pajamas Media’s “Obama Flunks History at Cairo U”:

“The reason Muslims never developed fundamental physics is because the leading Muslim theologians declared the idea of fixed physical laws to be heretical. The Qur’an (verse 6:64) states: “The Jews have said, ‘God’s hand is fettered.’ Fettered are their hands, and they are cursed for what they have said. Nay, but His hands are outspread; He expends how He will.” The standard Muslim interpretation of this passage has been that there cannot be unchanging physical laws because Allah may change the laws at any moment. In 1982, the Institute for Policy Studies in Islamabad, Pakistan, criticized a chemistry textbook by saying: “There is latent poison present in the subheading Energy Causes Changes because it gives the impression that energy is the true cause rather than Allah. Similarly it is unIslamic to teach that mixing hydrogen and oxygen automatically produces water. The Islamic way is this: when atoms of hydrogen approach atoms of oxygen, then by the Will of Allah water is produced.” The implication is clear: next week, Allah may change his mind about water being a compound of hydrogen and oxygen. With this sort of worldview, how could one possibly be a scientist?”
On the test to check whether or not mahoundianism is a “scientific” faith, the grade is an F too.
As for mahoundianism’s compatibility or (lack thereof) with modernity, do we need to go there too? Puh-lease…
The fact is that all of these claims to mahoundianism’s tolerance, modernity, egalitarianism, pluralism and science are nothing but baseless lies, and products of both conspiracy theories and a self-image which has never stood the test of criticism, which only mahoundians and their Western apologists believe in. The problem with the distribution of this “foggy” DVD is that it might lead those more ignorant among us to start believing in those outrageous lies as well.
