The folIowing two paragraphs are extracted from an article at Jihad Watch by an ex-Muslim, Saleem Smith:
Islam is essentially a cult of personality centered around an illiterate human being named Muhammad Ibn Abdullah, who is said to have wandered the Arabian Peninsula roughly fourteen hundred years ago. Although Muhammad was likely a mythical figure created by a group of perverse Arab men for the purpose of acquiring power and booty, Muslims unfortunately believe that he really did exist and that his words are to be believed and enforced for all time.
Islamic theology teaches that Muslims are to obey Muhammad’s every word and example, no matter how depraved or outlandish, believing him to be the mouthpiece of Allah. Islamic theology (the Quran and Muhammad’s Sunnah) studied by the impartial person is clearly a poorly written jumble of lies designed to create a fear of hell in its adherents and offers false promises of a carnal paradise in the hereafter for those foolish enough to live and die for its demands.
