#1 It is said of Mohammed that "perhaps his greatest joy was when he beheld the severed heads of his enemies". That is disgusting, but not suprising.
The cult of the moon god is what the article says, the religion of the desert warrior. Its intolerance, call to violence, insistance of submission and its delusional nihlistic adherents have no place in the modern(western) world.
But since it is here, Islams' birth place is desperately in need of at least one 4000 degree day courtesy of the crusaders.

#2 I have read a number of scholarly accounts of the origin of Islam, all of them different. Why should I buy this particular one? The goddess worshipping religions of the ancient near east had a lot of unsavory practices such as human sacrifice. In that respect I see no reason to prefer a goddess over a god.

#3 It's some interesting stuff, although I think I'm going to have to go with Virginian on this one. Some of the claims it made were a little out there, in my opinion; has anyone else heard anything that would verify some of them?

#4 Muhammed, Mohammed...whatever! I think the important thing to note here, is that the second syllable is "ham". Mo * ham * med

That is the crux of the whole matter. These people are secretly craving a big old Ham & Swiss on Light Rye sandwich! With just a touch of Mayo and a Kosher Dill Pickle.

That would take the Jihad out of them.

#6 Forgive me if I don't rate the author as very credible.
While this 1.8 billion figure seems to be rather high for the present, according to various interpretations of the prophecies of Nostradamus and others, Islam will in fact sweep the world, but, contrary to the best wishes of some of its adherents, this invasion will not be peaceful. A certain Hopi prophecy has also been interpreted to state that Islam will become ...

#9 What's wrong, James? Don't you believe Nostradamus AND the Hopis?

#10 Doctor, the author of that site tries to use biblical critical studies / comparative religion to make his/her points.

Unfortunately, s/he doesn't really have much knowledge about the subject and the connections drawn are by and large not supported, either by the original languages or by good scholarship.
