Let's read the "testament of Mohammed" further. The talk about the rebellious infidels is long gone. Many poems are not mentioned about them anymore. And, therefore, we are talking simply about "infidels". "O you who believe! For polytheists are unclean. May they not approach the holy mosque after this year! Fight against those who do not believe in Allah and the Last Day, who do not forbid what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden, and who do not obey the religion of truth, until they pay their own money and are humiliated" (9:28-29).

It is worth considering that not only pagans are considered "polytheists" in the Koran: "And the Jews said: 'Uzair is the son of Allah.' And the Christians said, "The Messiah is the son of Allah." These words in their mouths are like the words of those who did not believe before. May Allah smite them! How disgusted they are! They took their scribes and monks for their masters, besides Allah, and the Messiah, the son of Mary. And they were commanded to worship only one God, besides whom there is no deity. Praise be to Him, He is higher than what they give Him as partners! They want to extinguish the light of Allah with their lips, but Allah does not allow anything else but to complete His light, even though the polytheists hate it" (9:30-32). This means that the norms concerning the treatment of polytheists apply to both Christians and Jews.

So the effort is not needed to look for reasons in the Qur'an for wanting to fight. Considerable interpretive effort must be made in order to draw the opposite, peaceful conclusion from the reading of the Qur'an. And this effort is clearly lacking in the world of Islam today.

Instead, there are routine excuses. Speaking at a round table meeting in the State Duma devoted to the improvement of anti-terrorist legislation, Muhammad Biji-ulu, deputy chairman of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of the European part of Russia, accused journalists of "ignorantly" imposing on society the opinion that terrorists speak on behalf of Islam. "There can be no religious terrorism, because no one calls Chikatilo an Orthodox ogre."[17] Yes, if Muslims are led by people with such an intellectual and moral level, then you can only express your sympathy for them... Did Chikatilo, when killing people, exclaim "Christ is Risen"? Did any Christian theologians express their encouragement of his crimes? Did he himself justify his actions with quotations from the Bible? No. Do not confuse crime and terror. Do not confuse war and terror. If the leaders of Islam do not even see the problem of Islamic terrorism, if they do not want to recognize even such a term, then they will certainly not be able to solve the problem whose existence they deny.

And one should not believe the usual explanation (for some reason the host of "Echo of Moscow" Andrei Cherkizov loves it very much) that, they say, Islam is active and aggressive because it is young. Like, teenage pranks. Islam is only 1400 years old. Christianity at a similar age, they say, was also not good.

This is only a semblance of culturology.

Firstly, such a thesis is humiliating for the Muslims themselves, because it declares them "backward". Here, they say, let's endure, they will develop to our level of civilization and become "also tolerant."

Secondly, Christianity has long been moving towards executions and wars carried out in the name of Christ. Islam from the very beginning, from the life of Mohammed himself, did not separate one from the other. Between the Sacrifice of Christ and the first plague in His name, three and a half centuries passed. The first execution of a heretic by the Orthodox falls on the year 385. The heretic Priscillian was put to death in Trier with six of his disciples. At the same time, "a loud cry of indignation was heard throughout Europe. Of the two bishops who persecuted Priscillius, one was expelled from his see, and the other himself retired. St. Martin of Tours, who did everything possible to prevent this cruel decision, refused to have communion not only with these bishops, but also with those who were in contact with them. And St. Ambrose of Milan excommunicated the persecutor Priscillian, the tyrant of Trier, Maximus[19].

The sword lay at the cradle of Islam. It is stupid to deny this. It is better to think about how to blunt this sword, and even better – to discourage religious desire to use it.

And here is another reason for the responsibility of the entire Muslim world for its scum: a large part of the Muslim world considers terrorists not scum, but heroes.

So Yuli Kim is right:

Islam, Islam...

No matter how bitter it is for us,
