Three Men Going Through Menopause

Bill Maher; Rudy Giuliani; Fareed Zakariya


Three Men Going Through Menopause
What do Bill Maher, Rudolph (Rudi) Giuliani, and Fareed Zakaria
have in common? They are three grumpy men going through menopause;
all three of them attack Islam to relieve the pressure. This is their tale.

Bill Maher: An Atheist Jew!


Maher, a Jew, pretends to be an atheist. Ive never heard of or met an
atheist Jew. An atheist Jew represents a perfect contradiction in terms. It
isnt possible that a Jew would become an atheist and thus lose their
favored status with God, being His children and loved ones, or so we
have been told about the Jews for countless centuries. Also, since Judaism
is a religion, hence the term, Jew, how can one belong to a religion, yet
claim to be without a religion? Further, does Maher ever denounce
Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, or Hinduism nearly as much as he
denounces Islam? Being an atheist makes one anti-religion itself, hostile
to all religions and religious people, not only Islam and Muslims.
For Maher to claim that he is an atheist yet frequently attack Islam
the age-old favorite target of the Jews, far more than attacking any other
religion, proves that he is a Jew, not an atheist. By maintaining atheism as
his religion, Maher deflects from criticism directed at the Jews, Judaism,
and/or the Old Testament. But, to an atheist, all religions, including
godless religions such as Buddhism, and atheism itself, should be the
same, without discriminating against one religion from others.
Maher criticizes Islam for the mistakes of some Muslims,
concentrating on violence in specific. Yet, he has never shown even a hint
of mercy, compassion, or humanity towards the tens of thousands of
innocent women, children and men killed as a result of Israels relentless,
extremely violent, inhumane wars against Muslim and Christian
Palestinians, especially in Gaza. Furthermore, he never associates these

Three Men Going Through Menopause

crimes to Judaism or the Old Testament. After all, what claim do Jews
have to Palestine, if it wasnt for the Old Testament, which the Jews wrote
with their own hands and then ascribed it to God, claiming that
Palestine belongs to them? An atheist would denounce the very existence
of Israel, considering its existence is almost entirely ascribed to a religious
promise found in a religious book.
A mediocre comedian, Maher landed a late-night show on HBO
instead of a major mainstream television station. Ive frequently watched
his show and its embarrassing how he often struggles to make his
audience laugh at his jokes. Even when they laugh, it is a light laugh as if
theyre just being polite. Knowing that his jokes, and how he tells them,
are unexceptional, Maher spices up his jokes with foul words; he
compensates for his humorless nature by usually using the F word.
Lately, he has found another way to, so he thinks, make people tune
into him by using: the I word. Attack Islam like others, and maybe his
ratings will go up, even if a little, and even if only for a short time. This is
consistent with his life struggle, his jihad, that is, to stay on some channel,
no matter the price others have to pay for his ambition.
When one faces the menopausal stage of his uninspiring comedian
life, when even the most-faithful audience struggles (make jihad) to laugh
at ones jokes, one attacks Islam to recapture ratings and audience.
Meanwhile, Israel has killed more civilian Palestinians than all jihadi
groups combined- managed to kill of Muslims and non-Muslims. Does
this move the atheist Jew? An atheist and a Jew, really!
Bill Maher in Brief
1. Claims to be an atheist:
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ORpiAc1f_A);
But, denies the established fact that atheism is a religion.
Atheism is a belief, a creed, just as religion is a belief, a creed.
Religion is: an interest, a belief, or an activity that is very important to a
person or group (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/religion).
There are countless religions in the world all believing in something or
someone: no god, one god, multiple gods, the devil, multiple devils,
cows, rats, snakes, stones, trees, graves, men, women, dead men, dead

Three Men Going Through Menopause

women, Hereafter, eternal incarnation in this life, atheism, mother nature,


universalism, and so forth. They all are comprised of a set of beliefs, a
creed; an interest that is very important to a person or group.
Then again, Maher is not an intellectual, just a clown. A clowns
mission is to make believe. He propagates a creed, a religion that
pretends that there is no god, and thus, no justification for classical
religion. Maher calls this religion, evidence based belief. No one should
attempt asking Maher what this evidence is, or where it can be seen,
touched and/or felt!
2. Believes that most Muslims, at least half of them, I think, around the
world think its okay to kill somebody if they insult the prophet.
(http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2012/09/23/bill_maher_on_islam
_all_religions_are_not_alike.html)
Maher thinks that most Muslims, at least a half of them, i.e., 800
million out of 1600 million Muslims, think what he says they think. He
must have asked them all! And what makes Maher think he has the right
to insult other peoples religions and prophets? Insulting any prophet,
including Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, or Muhammad, is a
major crime. Crime brings about legal consequences for the criminal.
However, the punishment for this, and other crimes, is not to be carried
out by individuals or groups, such as modern-day jihadis who terrorize
Muslims far more than non-Muslims, especially among them jihadist
European
rappers
and
jihadi
women
in
bikini
(http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-30722038). It is an exclusive
right of the Islamic State to carry out this punishment. The same state
that should also punish rebels against Islamic law, especially modern-day
jihadis, including jihadist European rappers and jihadi women in bikini,
who think they are Islams enforcers and so, on their own, kill mediocre
French journalists who ridicule Islams Prophet, thus, helping them sell
far more copies of their almost unknown magazine, than ever before.
3. States that not all religions are alike.
(http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2012/09/23/bill_maher_on_islam
_all_religions_are_not_alike.html)

Three Men Going Through Menopause

Agreed! How can a religion that clearly prohibits the killing of noncombatant men, women and children, be compared to a religion that
specifically orders this, When thou comest nigh unto a city to fight
against it, then proclaim peace unto it. And if it make thee answer of
peace then all the people therein shall be tributaries (slaves) unto
thee, and they shall serve thee. And if it will make no peace with thee, but
will make war against thee, then thou shalt smite every male thereof
with the edge of the sword. But the women, and the little ones, and the
cattle, and all that is in the city all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take
unto thyself. (Deuteronomy 20:10-4)
The jihadis couldnt have been reading a book, the Quran, that orders
this, {Fight in the way of Allh those who fight you, but transgress not the
limits; Truly, Allh likes not the transgressors} (2:190), sent to a prophet,
Muhammad peace be on him, who forbade killing women and children
(Bukhari and Muslim). Scholar As-Sa`di said, The prohibition of
committing aggression [in ayah (Quranic statement) 2:190 above] entails
all types of aggression, including killing non-combatants, such as women,
the insane, children, monks, and so forth mutilation of the dead
killing of animals, cutting down trees and similar acts (Tafsir As-Sa`di).
However, the jihadis may have been reading a book that says, Thus
saith the Lord Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that
they have spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and
suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass (I Samuel 15:2-3); a book that
claims this about a prophet, Moses: And they smote all the souls
therein with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them: there was
not any left to breathe and burnt Hazor (a city in Palestine) with fire.
As the Lord commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command
Joshua so did Joshua. (Joshua 11:12)
Lets not forget the terrible atrocities being committed against
Muslims by the followers and religious leaders of Buddhism, such as in
Burma, and Hinduism, such as in India. True, not all religions are the
same.
4. Rallies liberals to stand up to Islam'
(http://eaglerising.com/13702/bill-maher-tells-liberals-wake-fight-backislam/).

Three Men Going Through Menopause

What can a few liberals do against Islam which 1400 years of Jewish
and Christian slander, resistance, open warfare, extreme violence against
the entire religion and its followers, couldnt do? Empty words uttered by
a true Jew who claims to be an atheist.
5. A bigot: New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof, who was also
a guest on last week's show, attempted to make that very point. Kristof,
who was interrupted before finishing his thought, remarked about
Maher's comments on Islam: This does have a tinge a little bit of how
white racists talk about African-Americans. Kristof was right. How can
Maher not see that he's mimicking that same type of hateful mindset?
(http://edition.cnn.com/2014/10/07/opinion/obeidallah-maher-muslimcomments/)
Maher sees it, but he doesnt care as long as he can get a few rating
points, a few laughs, for a few humorless jokes he makes about the largest
religion on earth.
6. Weed-lover: Say you are Muslim. And you love love love you
some Islam. Its what uplifts you and inspires you and you cant imagine
your life without it or why everyone else doesnt love it too. Believe me I
get that, thats how I feel about weed. But when someone criticizes weed,
I think, good, more for me, not off with their head.
(http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/jan/17/bill-maher-liberalbullying-on-islam-debate-makes-/#ixzz3T9amqfZu)
Such an intelligent discussion, coming from someone who earns his
living from being a clown! Weed makes people lose track of their life,
sidestep their human consciousness, escape reality, act foolishly and
dishonorably, suspend their mental ability, become disoriented, talknonsense, appear -as in fact they are- stoned; sort of like Bill Maher on a
good day. Islam ordains monotheism, which ordains fulfilling the rights
of the Creator and then the rights of creation, and enjoins prayer, fast,
compassion, kindness, charity, patience, keeping ties with parents and
relatives, truthfulness, and severe punishment for violent criminals, such
as modern-day jihadis who intentionally direct their indiscriminate
violence at Muslims and non-combatant non-Muslims.

Three Men Going Through Menopause

I doubt Maher has ever read anything correctly attributed to Islam,


its creed or its practices. Otherwise, how can he ignore such aspects of
religion and compare it to weed? Islam prohibits weed, smoking and
drinking. Atheism doesnt.
7. Maher as a Christian preacher: Vast numbers of Christians do not
believe that if you leave the Christian religion you should be killed for it.
Vast numbers of Christians do not treat women as second class citizens.
Vast numbers of Christians do not believe if you draw a picture of Jesus
Christ you should get killed for it.
(http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/sep/11/bill-maher-toclaim-islam-is-like-other-religions-/#ixzz3T9bY09Sq)
Maher seems to accuse vast numbers of Christians of being
hypocrites, believing in Gods Word yet not believing in it. Vast numbers
of Christians' believe the Bible to be the, Literal Word of God. The Old
Testament, authored by Mahers Jewish ancestors, says this about a town
that attempts to convert the Children of Israel to other gods, You must
certainly put to the sword all who live in that town (Deuteronomy 13-18).
The New Testament, also written by Mahers Jewish ancestors, says this
about women; Paul wrote, As in all the congregations of the saints,
women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to
speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. If they want to inquire
about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is
disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church. (1 Corinthians 14:34-5).
The Old Testament prohibits intermarriages with people of other
faiths, denounces pictures, and calls for burning them, Thou shalt smite
them utterly destroy them make no covenant with them, nor shew
mercy unto them. Neither shalt thou make marriages with them For
they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other
gods But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and
break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their
graven images with fire. (Deuteronomy 7:2-5).
Vast numbers of Christians would be angry if their wives kept their
own family name, instead of carrying the name of their husbands family;
Muslim women keep their family name. Muslim women have a fixed
share in the inheritance. To the contrary, many Christians would rather

Three Men Going Through Menopause

leave their entire inheritance to a dog, a snake or even a donkey, than to


their daughters, sisters or mothers. Muslims cannot do this. Muslim
women freely cover themselves from the eyes of wicked men who have
no shame, who, with a disease in their hearts, wish to enjoy womens
beauty for free. Only a few decades ago, Jewish and Christian women
also covered as Muslim women cover.
8. Maher as a philosopher: "Not only does the Muslim world have
something in common with ISIS, it has too much in common with ISIS."
(http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2014/oct/02/rezaaslan/fact-checking-reza-aslans-retort-bill-maher/)
According to Maher, Muslims have something, even too much in
common with murderous gangs, who mainly target them with violence,
death, destruction, cause Christian occupation of Muslim lands, and call
Muslims, disbelievers? From every ten people modern-day jihadis kill, at
least nine are Muslim. This is the only connection most Muslims have to
ISIS. To the contrary of what Maher claims, most Muslims object to the
methods of modern-day jihadi groups, especially in Sunni areas that have
been devastated by the savagery of ISIS, which is now led by European
and American jihadis.
9. In an article we will discuss later, Allah willing, Fareed Zakariya
agrees with Maher that Islam has a problem today.
Maher plays the drum and Fareed dances to the tunes. Lets suppose
Islam has a problem today, how can a plagiarizer like Fareed and a clown
like Maher fix its problem? These two forget that Islam is the largest
religion on earth [even if Christians insist Christianity is, owing that at
least a third of Christians profess to be without a specific religion]. With
more than 1600 million adherents, Islam's followers will soon comprise a
third of the worlds population.
(http://www.nbcnews.com/news/religion/islam-fastest-growing-majorreligion-coming-decades-report-n334986)
Do these two seriously think that Muslims will allow them to reform
Islam for them while Muslims sing the praises of a Jew, who claims to be
atheist, and a fake Muslim, who is uncomfortable being called a Muslim?

Three Men Going Through Menopause

It would be a profound waste of time to challenge these two to


present proof where Islam went wrong, such as providing one sentence
in any authentic Islamic text that calls for the killing of civilians, suicide,
kidnapping women of non-combatants and selling them to European and
American jihadis, etc. An intelligent conversation requires intelligent
counterparts. Maher is still not funny. Maybe its the kind of weed he
uses.

Rudy Giuliani: A Liberal Christian!


Rudolph William Louis Rudy Giuliani tried, and failed, to run for
president as a republican.
(http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/30/us/politics/30giuliani.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0)

Conservative republicans, who think they are the only true


Christians, not only were suspicious of Juilianis true adherence to
conservatism, but clearly and publicly considered him a liberal. To begin
with, supporting gay rights and abortion is a major no, no, to
conservative Christians that is. A liberal and a conservative Christian!
How does that work.
(http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/10/20/giuliani-tells-christian-right-i-am-notyour-enemy/?_r=0)

It didnt help Rudys standing with conservatives that during his


reign as mayor of New York, he managed to clean up Times Square,
from blacks that is, and institute racial profiling and heavy-handed police
tactics. Look at his-own press release:
(http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/?pid=94899)

However, the Federal Government had another conclusion:


(http://www.nytimes.com/2000/10/06/nyregion/giuliani-defends-police-against-federal-findingof-racial-profiling.html)

Giuliani had his moment when he refused to take a check from Saudi
prince, Al-Waleed Ibn Talal, after 911, as if Al-Waleed had anything to do
with Islamic extremism, or with 911. Al-Waleeds associations and
practices make even Al-Waleeds own brother, the religious Prince
Khalid, publicly disagree with Al-Waleeds practices and dealings. For
example, Al-Waleed partnered with Michael Jackson. Therefore, it is not
possible he would be considered an, Eezlamist. Nevertheless, Rudy
wanted to prove his patriotism, his loyalty to his country, by refusing to
take blood money, or so the money was described.
(http://www.cbsnews.com/news/10-million-nyc-says-no-thanks/)

Rudy as a typical republican patriot: he never fought for America. If


Rudy were elected as president, he would have joined other presidents
who sent Americans to war, but never fought for America, such as
Clinton, G. W. Bush [and Dick Cheney], and Obama.

Three Men Going Through Menopause

(http://nymag.com/news/intelligencer/30661/)

However, on the subject of loyalty, Rudys multiple wives and/or


mistresses may object to Rudy being described as, loyal. Yet, we admit,
Rudys loyalty to his wives was, at least, steady. He would steadily date
his future wife, while still steadily married to his current wife.
(http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20134534,00.html)

Rudy was soundly defeated in his bid to gain republican nomination


for president; Rudy is no longer in the news; Rudys life is boring; Rudy
is boring; his political and marrying careers have reached the menopausal
state. Solution: attack Islam.
Rudy says, You've got to be able to criticize Islam for the parts of
Islam that are wrong," Politico quotes Giuliani as saying. You criticize
Christianity for the part of Christianity that is wrong. I'm not sure how
wrong the Crusades are. The Crusades were kind of an equal battle
between two groups of barbarians: the Muslims and the crusading
barbarians. What the hell? What's wrong with this man that he can't stand
up and say there's a part of Islam that's sick?
(http://www.newsweek.com/giuliani-cruz-criticize-obama-over-islamic-extremismremarks-308004)

Typically, Giuliani never mentions which specific part of Islam is


sick. We wish he would give us even one ayah from the Quran, with a
clear authentic interpretation, then, state why the chosen part is sick. But,
how could he; he has never read anything about Islam from authentic
Islamic resources; he doesnt even know about the Crusades! If one mixes
rulings from Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and
flavors the mix with a pinch of atheism, then present the product to
Rudy, Rudy will never know which is which.
Fanatical Christian Crusaders came from Europe, which was then in
total ignorance, and attacked Muslims in their own lands. Muslims, at
this time, were enlightened, far more advanced than Europe. Christian
historians admit the atrocities the Crusaders committed. Yet, Rudy
brands both, aggressor and victim, as barbarians. History has been
rewritten, by a Rudy.
Why is it that those who attack Islam are simply not normal? Why
does every one of them have major defects in character, demeanor, ideas,
and practices? Why are so many of them bizarre, ruthless, bigots,

10

Three Men Going Through Menopause

indifferent to the suffering of others, especially Muslims, yet seek to


inflict more harm on Islam and Muslims, then complain about how sick,
horrible and violent Islam and Muslims are?
Rudy Giuliani should never rule over anything, given his character,
past, and weird, fantastical sense of history. If elected, he will only be
loyal to his bigoted self and sick desires. Ask his wives, or mistresses,
whats the difference, and they will tell you how loyal he is and to what.
Rudy Giuliani in Brief
1. The patriot who used favoritism to get deferment for not fighting in
Vietnam.
(http://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2015/02/23/guiliani-obama-patriot-wickhamcolumn/23844289/)

2. To look good, and to punish foes, he had some people arrested then,
for lack of evidence, had charges dropped on their high-profile criminal
cases, rather than go to trial.
(http://www.nytimes.com/1995/08/06/books/junk-bondage.html)

3.

Appointed corrupt officials.

Richard Roberts, appointed by Giuliani as chairman of New York


City Health and Hospitals Corporation, pleaded guilty to perjury. He lied
to a grand jury about a car that [Russell A.] Harding bought for him with
City funds.
(http://www.nytimes.com/2004/09/01/nyregion/01housing.html)
(http://www.villagevoice.com/2004-08-31/news/a-going-away-gift-from-russell-harding/)

A longtime backer of Bernard Kerik: Under the plea, Mr. Kerik


will pay $221,000 in fines and penalties for accepting the renovations and
failing to report [a] loan - $28,000 from a friend, the real estate developer
Nathan Berman - to the Conflict of Interest Board a stunning fall for
Mr. Kerik who began his remarkable ascent in city government in
1993. Then a third-grade police detective, he became a volunteer
bodyguard and chauffeur for Rudolph W. Giuliani in his mayoral
campaign. After his election, Mr. Giuliani appointed him to a high-level
post in the Correction Department, where he rose to the commissioner's
office. The mayor later made him police commissioner, a post he held at
the time of the Sept. 11 terror attacks.

4. While married, Rudy had an affair, that is, committed adultery, with
a married woman. In Christian culture such a woman is called, mistress.
Later, he married his mistress, i.e., his ex-adultery partner. Meanwhile,
Rudy says that Islam is sick! Well, Islam prohibits adultery; Islam is clean;
adultery is sick; Rudy commits adultery; Rudy is sick.
(http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/05/us/politics/05judith.html?pagewanted=all)

5. Giuliani says that Obama doesnt love America. However, Giuliani


loves America so much, he skillfully dodged the draft. Also, As historian
Jason Sokol told NPR last year, Giuliani built his political career in large
part on racial animus, exploiting the white backlash against black Mayor
David Dinkins during his successful 1993 mayoral campaign. Following
the Crown Heights riots, Giuliani appeared at a rally of white police
officers protesting Dinkins policies, where one officer held a sign
reading, Dump the washroom attendant.
(http://www.salon.com/2015/02/20/rudy_giuliani_same_as_he_ever_was_why_his_derang

Giuliani is not only rude, hes Rudy.

Fareed Zakariya: Plagiarism is Stealism!


In the spirit of, freedom of speech, CNN fired Octavia Nasr, an
experienced Arab-Christian reporter, just because she tweeted her
admiration for Hussein Fadlallah, founder of Hezbollah!
(http://www.theguardian.com/media/2010/jul/08/octavia-nasr-cnn-tweet-fired)

Fareed Zakaria plagiarized, i.e., stole someone elses work, was


suspended by CNN, but was then allowed to return to CNN to lead his,
GPS, show. It seems that his GPS was defective, pointing to the wrong
direction; so Zakariya ended up shopping in the wrong writing-store.
Why would a smart, high profile reporter steal a published report from a
contemporary historian who lives in the same country? Zakaria lifted
several passages from an article by historian Jill Lepore that was
published by the New Yorker magazine in April [of 2012].
(http://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/fareed-zakaria-suspended-by-cnn-timefor-plagiarism/2012/08/10/f6315e96-e335-11e1-ae7f-d2a13e249eb2_story.html)

Is it Islam or Muslims?
Zakariya says that Islam has a problem today, then says, The places
that have trouble accommodating themselves to the modern world are
disproportionately Muslim.
(http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/fareed-zakaria-islam-has-a-problem-rightnow-but-heres-why-bill-maher-is-wrong/2014/10/09/b6302a14-4fe6-11e4-aa5e7153e466a02d_story.html)

Typically, Zakariya confuses the troubles Muslims face today with


Islam. However, Islam is a religion, while Muslims are people who
ascribe themselves to be followers of Islam. If it is true that Islam is the
cause of the troubles Muslims have, then where is the clear connection
between Islam and Muslims troubles?
An example: Some Muslim areas have a tremendous problem with
illiteracy. This trouble has a direct adverse impact on Muslims, leading
to a lack of knowledge in their religion among them, which caused them

13

Three Men Going Through Menopause

to lag behind in modern scientific advancements. Did Islam contribute to


this trouble?
Islam instructs Muslims to learn. The first word revealed from the
Quran was, {Read!} (96:1). Muhammad, the Prophet of Islam, says,
Seeking knowledge is required from every Muslim (Sahih Ibn Majah 184). So,
when Muslims dont seek knowledge, they are disobeying a requirement
of their religion. Therefore, Islam is not responsible for their trouble.
Another example: Islam prohibits theft (including plagiarism), so if
Muslims steal (such as plagiarize), is Islam to blame for the theft
(including plagiarism) and for the thief (such as Fareed Zakariya)?
Zakariya also overlooks the fact that most Christian countries and
societies today face similar, even bigger troubles than Muslim countries
and societies. Christian areas of South and Central America, Africa,
Eastern Europe, the Philippines, Greece, and other Christian countries
and communities, are by no means in better conditions than Muslim
countries and communities. Why not connect their troubles to
Christianity and say, Christianity has a problem today? These societies
are places that have trouble accommodating themselves to the modern
world [and] are disproportionately [Christian].
Muslim Malaysia, Arabian Gulf area, Turkey, and many other
Muslim areas, are better off than most of the above-mentioned Christian
areas; also better off than Hindu India, where hundreds of millions of
Indians do not yet have an indoor toilet, if they have an indoor anything
that is. Did Zakariya forget? Is Hinduism to blame for India virtually
being the dirtiest place on earth, where massive illiteracy and
backwardness exist in every sphere of life and science, where rats and
cows are worshipped? Buddhist Nepal, Burma, Srilanka, Thailand, and so
forth, are indeed worse off than most Muslim countries. What about idol
worshippers in the jungles of Africa and the Amazon? What about
aborigines in Australia? Zakariya needs a new GPS.
A Muslim, who complains of being made to be a Muslim, should
not be allowed to represent Islam or Muslims. While practicing,
knowledgeable Muslims are completely shut out of the media in the
West, especially in America, protector of the free world, a fake Muslim is

14

Three Men Going Through Menopause

used to represent Islam even though he admits he finds the role of token
Muslim explainer in the American media slightly uncomfortable.
(http://www.villagevoice.com/2005-08-09/news/the-interpreter/)

Fareed Zakaria in Brief


1. Fareed Zakaria is the son of a so-called Muslim scholar and politician
from India. However, we are told, his own upbringing was open-minded
and secular. He sang Christian hymns at school and celebrated Hindu as
well as his own Muslim holidays.
(http://www.villagevoice.com/2005-08-09/news/the-interpreter/)
(http://nymag.com/nymetro/news/politics/national/features/n_8621/)

How can Fareeds father be a Muslim scholar, who teaches Islam to


others, yet allowed his own son to live like a secularist non-Muslim who
sings hymns of religions that are extremely different from, and
contradictory to, each other? Muslims are responsible, in this life and in
the Hereafter, for the religious wellbeing of their children, so what
happened with his Muslim scholar father?
This reminds me of an equally bizarre story. Someones brother, an
Arab Muslim, married a western Christian. The couple agreed that
during the day the mother would teach their son Christianity, and when
the father would return from work, he would teach their son Islam. They
agreed that when their son grows up, he could choose whichever religion
he wished to follow. I said, This poor kid, every night he goes to bed
with one god and wakes up in the morning with three!
2. He is a scholar who knows about the world of Islam, without
reading about Islam, so it seems: I do know a lot about the world of
Islam in an instinctive way that you can't get through book learning, he
says thoughtfully, but admits he finds the role of token Muslim explainer
in the American media slightly uncomfortable. I occasionally find myself
reluctant to be pulled into a world that's not mine, in the sense that I'm
not a religious guy.
(http://www.villagevoice.com/2005-08-09/news/the-interpreter/)

The world of Islam is not Zakarias; he says that. He also says that he
knows the world of Islam, a religion that is based on knowledge, in a way
that one cant get through reading, meaning, without gaining knowledge

15

Three Men Going Through Menopause

about a knowledge-based religion. Here, there is typical confusion that


also plagues Jews and Christians, especially since Zakariya was raised to
sing Christian hymns. They mix Islam with Muslims, even if such
Muslims practice what Islam considers an act of disbelief, such as
worshipping graves as many Arab, Asian, African and sub-continent
Muslims do. But, what really exposes his ignorance is his instinctive
knowledge of Islam. How can one know something instinctively, yet
behave and do the kinds of contradictory things he does, like stealing

A Professional Plagiarizer
3. Enigmatic media critics @crushingbort and @blippoblappo say
theyve found more examples of Fareed Zakaria lifting material from
other texts. The purportedly purloined passages, they say, appear in
Zakarias 2008 book The Post-American World and in Newsweek and
Foreign Affairs cover stories. On more than a number of occasions,
Zakaria has taken entire paragraphs from the authors and shifted them
around in an apparent attempt to avoid detection, they write.

4. The Washington Post is likely to add editors notes to five columns by


Fareed Zakaria following a report by plagiarism watchdog, Our Bad
Media. The report encourages The Post to correct six columns in which
Zakaria used material from other sources without proper attribution.
Our Bad Media also reported seven additional columns of Zakarias that
required correction, which Newsweek eventually modified.

5. Has troubles in his marriage, but has not yet blamed Islam for his
troubles. We dont want to dwell on stories of affairs, i.e., adultery, or
Zakariya being a wine lover.

6. Deaf, but demands to be spoken to: And yet, there is a problem


within Islam. It is not enough for Muslims to point out that these people

16

do not represent the religion. They don't. But Muslims need to take more
active measures to protest these heinous acts. They also need to make
sure that Muslim countries and societies do not in any way condone
extremism, anti-modern attitudes and intolerance towards other faiths.
Muslims are right to complain that there is anti-Muslim bigotry out there.
But they would have a more persuasive case if they took on some of the
bigotry within the world of Islam as well.
(http://edition.cnn.com/2014/10/26/opinion/zakaria-islam-problem/)
For decades, Muslim scholars and politicians, Islamic centers all over
the world, authors, groups, individuals, and devastated areas under jihadi
rule, have denounced the indiscriminate violence of modern-day jihadis
that has brought them more harm than any other community. Western
media, governments, religious institutions, and public dont and wont
hear them. Western media has also shut true Muslims out completely,
leaving token Muslims to speak for Islam, a religion token Muslims do
not know. Muslims keep repeating the same thing, but the West and an
arrogant plagiarizer keep demanding more action, more apologies.
In addition, since Zakariya says that It is not enough for Muslims to
point out that these people do not represent the religion; they don't, then
why insist that Islam has a problem if said people do not represent Islam
to begin with? If he says, Islam has a problem: Muslims, then we would
agree in that many Muslims today represent a problem for Islam because
they dont want to learn Islam, practice it properly, or teach it to their
own-selves, families or others.
However, steadily, Zakariya aims to reform Islam according to his
ideas and instinct. Yet, he doesnt want to reform his beloved world of
Christianity, especially in the West, especially the immense oppression of
Islam and Muslims, the widespread ridicule of Islam and Muslims, and
using the media to attack Islam in a massive way, without allowing
Muslims a slight chance to defend or at least explain Islam. Let alone the
attack on Islam in every way possible by Christian churches, Christian
media, and Christian conservatives and liberals in government and other
political institutions, which has been going on since before the Crusades.
Zakariya blatantly exaggerates by claiming that the world of Islam
has bigotry within it. Bigotry, within the world of Islam; really! Lets not

17

Three Men Going Through Menopause

mention the great European bastions of freedom, such as France, Italy,


Germany, Holland, Denmark, and others, who systematically
discriminate against their own Muslim citizens, who continuously
ridicule Islam and Muslims in the name of freedom of speech, yet prevent
Muslims the same right of free speech so they can defend their religion.
Lets just restrict our observation to America, a model of the
unbigoted world of Christianity, to use Zakariyas reasoning. Do we need
to give details about how unbigoted America is; how in America, all
segments of the society are equal in every respect: blacks, whites, browns,
yellows, Christians, Muslims, Jews, men, women? The blind can see
clearly, why cant Zakariya?
How does Islam encourage anti-modern attitude? What does that
even mean? Clearly, this Muslim man hasnt visited modern Muslim
countries, some of which are being described as ultra conservative, yet
are far better socially and economically than any country in Eastern
Europe, for instance. The claims Zakariya makes are very poor on
evidence and specifics. His words are empty, without a soul, since the
world of Islam is not his; without knowledge, since he admits his
knowledge about the world of Islam cant be gained through reading.
Additionally, Zakariya demands that Muslims combat bigotry, i.e.,
they should submit to western aggression and domination, or else they
are branded anti-modernists, bigots, terrorists.
Meanwhile, Zakariya dislikes Arabs and thinks them backward and
inferior to his exceptional intelligence. It seems that open-mindedness
doesnt go a long way with Zakariya.

7. Cheers the states that legalized same-sex marriage and marijuana on


his GPS, lauding it "a picture of America at its best, edgy, experimental,
open-minded and brilliantly diverse."
(http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/fareed-zakaria-the-emergingamerica/2012/11/07/6d976cac-2916-11e2-bab2-eda299503684_story.html)

He would be cheerful (happy, gay) for gays, noting that marijuana


makes one elated (happy, gay). This is yet another proof that Zakariya
does not belong to the world of Islam.

8. A philosopher: That is not how Christianity moved from its


centuries-long embrace of violence, crusades, inquisitions, witch-burning
and intolerance to its modern state. On the contrary, intellectuals and
theologians celebrated the elements of the religion that were tolerant,
liberal and modern, and emphasized them, while giving devout
Christians reasons to take pride in their faith. A similar approach reform
coupled with respect- will work with Islam over time.
(http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/fareed-zakaria-islam-has-a-problem-rightnow-but-heres-why-bill-maher-is-wrong/2014/10/09/b6302a14-4fe6-11e4-aa5e7153e466a02d_story.html)

Modern Christian states made improvement only after discarding the


stifling chokehold Christianity had on life and science. Yet, Zakariya
makes a most bizarre claim, that intellectuals and theologians celebrated
the elements of the religion [Christianity] that were tolerant, liberal and
modern. It appears he has never read any history book, because if he
had, he would learn that this move away from its centuries-long embrace
of violence, crusades, inquisitions, witch-burning and intolerance to its
modern state, was made by the Christians gaining scientific knowledge,
for one, from Muslim Arabs.
Contrary to Zakariyas false claim, the rift between intellectuals,
historians, scientists, and Christianity, especially Catholicism and the
papal system, is legendary, almost total, encompassing. By no means do
intellectuals, historians, or scientists, consider any part of Christianity
modern or tolerant. Western historians dispute the existence of Jesus
himself. Western scientists dispute Christianitys scientific information,
such as the age of the universe, etc. The Christian sect, Evangelicals, even
deny that dinosaurs ever existed. The examples are countless.
As for Zakariyas claim that Christianity moved from its centurieslong embrace of violence, crusades, inquisitions, witch-burning and
intolerance to its modern state, who, then, fought WWI during which
tens of millions of civilians died by the hands of the civilized nations of
Christian Europe, all claiming God was on their side? Who fought WWII
over other peoples lands causing the death of more than 50 million
civilians, including 6,000,000 Jews (dare not say 5,999,999 or else France
will put you in jail)? Why did the West, and the Vatican, look the other
way while European Christian nations of Poland, Romania, France, Italy,

19

Three Men Going Through Menopause

etc., rounded up Jews and sent them to concentration camps in Germany?


Who killed millions of Vietnamese? Who caused the death of 200,000
Muslims in the Balkans in the 1990s, led by Christian churches and
leaders? Not to forget Rwanda and Burundi, where a million Christians
were killed by fellow Christians? What about Ireland, where for decades,
Christian sects fought religious wars against each other? Who caused the
death of a million Muslims in Iraq after it was invaded?
These horrific crimes were committed in modern times, within the
last 100 years, by Christian states described by Zakariya as being modern,
tolerant. Did Muslims do this; did Islam instruct it? Did Muslims devise
and then use all types of killing machines: chemical weapons, nuclear
weapons, tanks, planes, napalm, and other mass destruction weapons?
What planet does Zakariya live on? Fortunately, Fareed Zakariya does
not represent Islam or Muslims.

Three Men on PMS


Islam is the largest religion on earth. Every second, a Muslim is
born into this world; every two seconds, a non-Muslim is born into
a world that has seen Islam increase in following from one man
who called to Islam more than fourteen centuries ago, to close to
two billion today.
Islam does not have a problem. Men on PMS have a problem,
though. Having absolutely no knowledge of or about Islam,
suffering from failure in their professional and personal life, they
grumbly seek quick fame at the expense of Islam and Muslims.
Their unkind nature and seeking fame make them indifferent to
who they harm by their bigoted words. They dont care.
Western media may one day shock the world and invite
practicing knowledgeable Muslims to explain Islam. Until then, we
may keep seeing and hearing Jews, Christians, liberal Muslims,
atheists, anyone, everyone, represent Islam at the exclusion of the
only group qualified to represent Islam: knowledgeable, practicing
Muslims who rely on Islams holy sources and the ways of
Muhammads Companions to practice, teach, defend and explain
Islams true tenets.
