“Islam promises success to its followers in this life and the next.” ~ Mark Durie
Is this what Muslims see in the Islamic world? 1
To the jihadist, success is measured by how many lands are made to submit to sharia. But when sharia is enforced, many Muslims see how cruel and unjust it is and so turn from Islam. This, along with events like the Bondi massacre in Sydney, are causing many Muslims to examine the supremacist elements in the Islamic texts.
For 14 centuries Muslims would rarely—if ever—hear any criticism of Islam. They had no reason to question its validity. Now, for the first time, many are.
And many of those same Muslims are coming to the conclusion that the world is not a better place because of Islam. They have no trouble sharing videos like this. (Notice how many ex-Muslims commented below the following YouTube video.)
They do not want to live under sharia because they regard it as barbaric.
