HISTORICIZATION OF THE QURAN: HOW ISLAM CAN EVOLVE INTO A MODERN RELIGION WHICH CO-EXISTS WITH ALL OTHERS AND ATHEISM

All Muslims have to do - to forge a form of Islam which can co-exist with the West and modernity - is come to accept that the bellicose directives in the Quran were historically relative: they were for Mohamed's time and his time ONLY, and not for all time or for everyone.

So when Mohamed says that Allah - via Gabriel - told him to behead and/or pillage this tribe or that one, it was not a generalizable dictum to be applied anywhere and anytime, but one specific time and place.

This historicization would allow contemporary Muslims to make an effort to find ways to fulfill the Quran's bellicose directives in peaceful ways much more acceptable in today's times.

Either they accept this, or - ultimately - we shall have to vanquish them, utterly.

In a war between 11th Century Islam and 21st Century Western Civilization we mustn't let the past win. And we must be willing to do ANYTHING to prevent them from winning - or even ENCROACHING our hard won liberties. (Sadly - because of the Left and multiculturalism and cultural relativism, they have already begun encroaching on our liberties all over the West - with "creeping sharia".)

Muslims will have to come to accept the secularization of the political realm and historicization of the religious.

Or they must be erased. We cannot co-exist with an ideology which embraces genocide and suicide.
