It is so hard to say this.
Because I may be wrong. I could be misinterpreting history. Maybe others are right, and I am wrong. And if I am wrong, I will be doing a great disservice to good people, for whom I nothing but good will.
However. That said.
Islam seems to me to have become a most evil religion. Dark, lustful, bloody and hateful. As if a crack has opened in the Earth and this ugly, dark thing has emerged. Obsessed with stonings, and hackings, and the cutting off of limbs; the control of women; bombings and killings and the slaughter of innocents.
There is no light here. No colour. No playfulness. No creativity. Nothing of the golden age. It has all been sucked into a darkness so profound that it can only be equated with the death itself.
Beheadings. On video. On YouTube. On Al Jerzera TV. Let's all watch, shall we? In the name of religion. Has there has been anything like this since the Kali cult or the Aztec abominations? Glowering clerics in black robes screaming jihad against the Other? Brutal boys blowing up subways and dreaming of dead children? Twisted faces shouting sharia now, don't you know we're going to get you when we get in power?
Would we be out of order to label this satanic? If not that, then what?
How did these people get so far from the wonderful Islam of its golden age?
I guess it can happen to any religion.
