et me apologize in advance for I will take up a minute of your time to tell you, first of all, about myself in this article.
The past three-and-a-half years has been the most traumatic of my life. I have been ostracized, called deaf, dumb and blind, threatened and even begged, cursed and prayed at to come to my senses. The more I was subjected to the above the more I became determined to get to the bottom of my predicament. I call it my predicament because I was most bewildered as to why my own loved ones have gone against me. My friends abandoned me, my relatives scorned me, even my wife of 15 married years threatened to leave me. The people, who did not even know me, sent me emails threatening dire consequences in this world and afterlife. They prayed for my early death and scorching in hellfire for eternity. But all that is past me. Since writing the previous two articles, I have been subjected to levels of hate previously unknown. If cyberspace was capable of shredding one into barbequed pieces of chewed up and spat out meat, I would resemble that. Receiving this huge smack in the Cyberface has prompted me to explain my understanding of Islam in simplified terms; I urge all "alleged" Muslims to refute me in a logical manner, if they please.
Islam may be many things for many people from different sects, but one thing on which every sect of Islam will agree, and which is beyond dispute, is the "five-pillar" theory. Those five pillars are:
It is these five pillars on which Islam is supposed to be resting upon. The absurdity of a ‘belief’ resting on rituals is as diabolical as the idea of transubstantiation. For now, let's move on to the rituals of Islam and how they may be beneficial or not for humanity as a whole.
Belief
I implore the Muslim readers for a moment to just think, think for a moment about the vastness of our universe, the complexity of its function, the time of its existence, the wonder of life arising on speck of dust called earth (as well as the probability of life arising on another billion planets in hundreds of billions of galaxies similar to ours) and then imagine a Being which runs all that. How complex and how vast that imagined Being must be. Even the comparison in size between me and the ants living in my garden is beyond scale by millions of time. Can you imagine that Being caring an iota about a microscopic and most inferior being ‘believing’ in it or not. Its existence would not require confirmation or the threats of eternal torture for non compliance. If it existed it would be totally free of such needs. It’s like you creating an army of robots and started torturing them for an eternity for not believing in you. Allah the sadist is not that Being.
Prayers
The 5 times a day prayers are a most mind numbing ritual for the simple reason that little minority that practice it do not know what they are reciting even the ones who are familiar with Arabic. The first Surah recited in that is Surah Fatihah in which the reciter is praying to Allah to send him on a straight path. That Surah is a prayer and therefore does not belong in Quran. One of the many smaller Surahs which are often recited by Muslims in these prayers is 111. It is full of curses. The other small surahs are also meaningless and devoid of any piety and contain abstract verses. No Muslim knows what they are reciting and the repetitive and incomprehensibleness of this forces the mind to wonder to anything but Allah. Multiply this boredom and also just imagine reciting Surah 33 and Surah 66 detailing Muhammad’s sex affairs during travehs in Ramadan.
There are many other unsolvable puzzles created by an ignorant Muhammad in the prayers. I list some of them below.

- Belief (Reciting Kulma)
- Prayers (5 mandatory prayers during the course of the day)
- Fasting (30 day mandatory period)
- Zakat (2.5% alms given from ‘income’)
- Hajj (Once a lifetime pilgrimage)
