The fact that 80% of Muslims do not support suicide bombings is nothing to take comfort in. The 20% figure supporting these killers means that potentially over 300 million Muslims support these brutal acts of murder. What we need to do is change Islam. This can be done by exposing the irrational teachings of the Islamic Fundamentalists. You must start with the following declaration: ALLAH AS THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE - THE CREATOR OF ALL LIVING THINGS IS PERFECT. ALLAH AS A PERFECT GOD - IS A GOD OF REASON AS A PERFECT GOD - A GOD OF REASON - ALLAH IS ALL PEACE AND LOVE ALL MANKIND ARE THE CHILDREN OF ALLAH ALL CHILDREN OF ALLAH ARE CREATED EQUAL AND THEIR LIVES ARE SACRED TO ALLAH ALLAH IS NOT AN IRRATIONAL BEING. IF ALLAH IS IRRATIONAL THEN ALLAH IS NOT PERFECT AND THEREFORE SINCE ALLAH CANNOT BE IMPERFECT AN IRRATIONAL ALLAH IS NOT GOD The above lays the intellectual framework for an Islamic Reformation. All teachings in the Koran and all Islamic texts (written or verbal ) that are not the teachings of ALLAH - A GOD OF REASON are the teachings of man. This means that all teachings recorded in the Koran of murder, killing, violence, hate, suicide bombers, violent jihad, torture, maiming, inferiority of woman, women as instruments of sexual pleasure in paradise, honor killings, child sex, bigotry, inequality of infidels, that infidels can be murdered as a holy duty etc are irrational AND NOT THE TEACHINGS OF ALLAH – A GOD OF REASON – A GOD OF ALL LOVE AND PEACE. All Imams/ Fundamentalists who quote these phrases from the Koran are blaspheming against Allah. Osma bin laden and all other terrorists who issue Fatwas calling for death and destruction are blaspheming Allah - A PERFECT GOD - A GOD OF REASON. By teaching young Muslims that ALLAH IS A GOD OF REASON - and that all teachings of Jihad, killing of infidels etc are sins against ALLAH - A PERFECT GOD - A GOD OF LOVE AND PEACE you will occupy the moral and intellectual unassailable high ground. This is the only way to rescue Islam from these brutal killers Any Muslim who refuses to accept that Allah is a PERFECT GOD – A GOD OF REASON – and refuses to follow the teachings of Allah – A GOD OF REASON are no longer Muslims. This means that the 20% who support suicide bombers - if they continue to support this evil - are not Muslims - they are blaspheming against the very essence of ALLAH – A GOD OF PEACE AND LOVE – A GOD OF REASON. All teachings in the Koran that are not of ALLAH - A GOD OF REASON - blaspheme ALLAH and are evil. In this way you can start to drive a stake through the heart of the evil irrational Islamic teachings. Sincerely, Larry Houle www.godofreason.com ALLAH – A PERFECT GOD – A GOD OF REASON

Why would you change a religion that, over 1,400 years ago gave women their rights, abolished slavery (while just a few decades ago the "superpower America" was segregating based on color), and prohibited war unless in self-defense? A religion that taught its believers not to force its teachings on those who will not listen; as Allah is the only One who can control the faith in ones heart. Why hate and change a religion that was meant to spread peace and education among men and women of all races and religious beliefs. For those of you who publish comments and speak publicly about such a complex issue without further investigating the true beliefs and teachings of Islam, who are content with the knowledge you gained about these issues based solely on what the western based broadcasting tells you, you are IGNORANT; and I challenge you to learn, investigate, and don’t base your judgments on what you ‘hear’ on the news. Trust only the knowledge you gain from your personal research. For your information, I don’t condone suicide bombers, but I can understand why they would be forced to commit the ultimate sacrifice of life. And what boggles my mind is how a country where a murderer can get off on a lighter sentence because he/she has the option to plead “temporary insanity” according to the laws of the United States of America’s legal system; a country where a great number of its population is being treated for depression; a country where psychiatrists and psychologists and anti-depression medications are so commonly utilized; why can’t you look into the issue and ask “why would a young adult, a child, strap him/herself to bombs and commit suicide?” You can examine why a person commits suicide in America using psychology, their mental state, and environment; why do the suicide bombers in the Middle East get categorized as “terrorists”! They are NOT TERRORISTS! These people don’t have a chance in life. These people have family members die in front of them every day. They see death and blood 24-7. Think about how you would feel if your child was killed in front of you. If you home was taken away from you; if you didn’t have the freedom to leave your city, or the neighborhood, or even your house. I watch CNN 7 hours a day and feel emotionally drained and depressed from all the horrible news I hear about in Iraq (for both sides). I can’t imagine living in such a war zone. You can’t come near to sympathizing with these people sitting on your couch in your house sipping on a cup of coffee. Wake up and get real. Get Educated. And stop basing your opinions of such a peaceful Religion on the actions of such a small group of people just because that is what the media chooses to exploit. If you are truly intellectual and educated people, then I challenge you to learn about Islam from a credible source. I bet on my life you will be amazingly enlightened with how wonderful it is. Just remember, the number of converts to Islam increased after September 11. Critical thinking question, WHY? For those who say Islam should be changed, I ask, why?
