"I had a kind of revelation in the Sinai desert, where Moses received the Ten Commandments. Suddenly I experienced a total rejection of monotheism. In this very rocky, inspiring land, I said to myself that the idea of believing in only one God was cretinous. I could not think of another word. And the stupidest religion of all is Islam. When one reads the Koran one is devastated, devastated. At least the Bible is very beautiful because the Jews have a sacred literary talent which can excuse a lot of things." (Michel Houellebecq)

cool picture, but i totally disagree. i am completely against insulting any religion, whatever it may be.

Please read the Koran (not just the nice passages) & Sharia law and then the above opening quote will make sense. "devastating" is not an insult. It is an exactitude. I have never read anything more insulting to humanity!

the kinda stuff Hebrews went through for their freedom is reality. it's worth being remembered so they know the strength that got them where they are.

Agreed the Hebrews went through hell. Their remembrance of those past events is the glue that binds all Jews in one way or another. And rightly so!

What I am saying is not about Judaism but rather how the "religion" of Islam is little more than a totalitarian edict upon whomsoever may be ensnared by it. It may have at one distant time had a true spiritual nature but now, in far too many ways it woefully oppressive.

To take from the above, "And the stupidest religion of all is Islam. When one reads the Koran one is devastated, devastated." I take as not to say that all who follow Islam are despicable but rather, that which is promoted within Sharia and by association, the Koran, there is a despicable and "devastating" nature.

I have read the various demands and edicts of Sharia and a good bit of the Koran and there is nothing I have found which speaks to the favor of Islam.

The above statement by Michel Houellebecq denotes his aversion to Islam and I for one, until I see a different face of Islam am inclined to agree. Show me the kind, compassionate & forgiving face of Islam and I will stand corrected.

To that I will state accordingly, that all religions or "isms" have those veins of zealotry that taint the waters for all others of the respective faiths and as well all onlookers.

If Islam does not want the insults, then perhaps it is up to Islam to clean it's own house before chastising others of their habits and behaviors.
