I think my use of ‘blame’ is not very appropriate.
The process is like this;
- There are evils and violence in this world.
- As concerned citizens of humanity we must address ALL evil and violence.
- In breaking down the “ALL” we note there is a class of evil which are related to Islam.
- To resolve this specific class of evil we need to trace the ultimate root causes.
- The ultimate root causes are as follows;
…5a - a natural existence of a percentile of evil prone Muslims.
…5b -loads of evil laden elements in the Quran and within the ethos of Islam. - Elements 5b catalyze 5b and influence 5b to commit evils and violence.
- The Evil tendencies in humans must be addressed but it is not easy at present.
- What is easier to address at present are the evil laden elements in the Quran and Islam.
There is no need for us to use the term ‘blame’ but as concerned citizens of humanity we must address all evil and violence and this specific class objectively and rationally for morality sake and the well being of humanity.
The point is the very existence of the Quran and its ideology which partially contain very malignant evil elements results in terrible evils and violence around the world.
In contrast, note Buddhism, Jainism, and the likes which do not contain any leading verses in the holy texts that trigger naturally born evil prone Buddhists or Jains to commit evils and violence. If any Buddhists commit evils and violence it is because of his/her inherent active evil tendencies which has nothing to do with Buddhism at all.
It is the same for Christianity wherein the NT has a pacifist overriding absolute maxim to no killing another human except to love even the enemies.
From the above, it is obvious the critical root cause of Islamic-inspired evils and violence is due the tons of evil laden elements in the Quran. The Quran do not have an absolute overriding maxim of no killing. Where killing is ever restricted it is always conditional [just war, self-defense, etc.] and thus open up holes that easily enabled leakage.
As for the Muhammad factor it depends on which perspective we are looking from;
-
If Muhammad is merely the messenger [parrot, tape recorder] and the Quran specifically stated so, then we cannot accuse Muhammad at all.
-
If Muhammad is deemed the exemplar who must be obeyed based on historical texts outside the Quran [Ahadith and Sira] which the majority of Muslims subscribed to, then we can accuse Muhammad and his extensive evil deeds.
-
If we look from a wider perspective of reality and humanity, we have to take the following into consideration;
…3a- It is impossible for god to exists in reality, therefore no Allah to reveal any Quran.
…3b- If the historical person is claimed to exists, then we can compare Muhammad as any cult leader who have had altered states experiences to for example Rev. Jim Jones and his good and evil deeds.
…3c- If Muhammad is likely to be a myth, then the Quran was compiled by a group of men who had martial and imperialistic interests. The Quran was compiled and established as a means [opiate] to control the army and the masses.
I believe 3c is most likely to be the realistic perspective.
