Trying to remove information from the Internet is like trying to remove pee from a swimming pool.

In case you haven't heard, Dubai wants your tourist dollars. They are using their oil money to set up a fantasy land for the world's wealthiest tycoons. The city includes an indoor ski mountain, a 7-star hotel, and soon to be the world's tallest building. However, there is a dark side to Dubai: Islam.

Islam is quite possibly one the world's most dangerous religion. Now, I know that one can point to bits of the Bible/Torah that are as nasty as the Koran, and I would totally agree. I sure as hell wouldn't want to run into a Christian in a dark alley in 1215, and I definitely would hate to encounter a Jew in 2500 BCE (if they did indeed commit one of the most atrocious campaigns of ethnic cleansing in the history of mankind like their holy book brags). But there is one main difference between Christianity/Judaism and Islam. That difference is the fact that the mainstream elements of Christianity and Judaism have actively rejected those violent, primitive laws in their holy books and Islam has not.

A Christian or Jewish suicide bomber would be condemned by most mainstream churches, not to mention one who stones his child to death for being rebellious or making fun of important bald men. Christians and Jews have learned to not take their holy books so literally.

Islam, on the other hand, embraces violence. Oh sure, maybe some of the moderate muslims that live in the comfort and convenience of the United States, Canada, and Europe don't, but that is only because the areas they live in are not ruled by Sharia law. Believe me, many of these so-called "moderates" would be lynching rape victims along with their desert-dwelling cousins in a heartbeat if they were. Look at the muslim leadership in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Iran. Almost if not all of those men fully support muslim violence, and continue to do nothing about the violence in Darfur. Not a single one of them has stood up and condemned the countless suicide bombers that kill innocent people just trying to have some damn breakfast. Instead, they give religious bigotry, hatred, and ass-backwards laws from the middle ages a nod and a wink. Those that do condemn it are usually only paying lip service to appease their western oil customers.

So, what are we going to do about it? I for one wish we could nuke every last muslim on the face of the earth and say 'good riddance' to bad rubbish. I wish I could personally castrate the rape gangs in Dubai that prey on foreign tourist, knowing that they can commit their crime with complete impunity and actually have their victim thrown in jail for it. Then, I wish I could continue on to the lawmakers that blame western culture for their citizens' bad behavior when it is them who refuse to prosecute any muslim on non-muslim crime. Face it, Dubai is a pervert's paradise, a rapist's wonderland. So imagine me, at the seat of the big red button. If I push, the Islam problem goes away. But I don't push, I wouldn't.

I wouldn't push the button because every fiber of my being would want to. Every inch of me realizes that we can no longer tolerate the violently intolerant. We can no longer tolerate men that rape in a country that prosecutes the victim. We can no longer tolerate laws that allow a man to beat his wife with a cane so long as it's a smaller diameter than his finger. For this very reason, we must tolerate it. If I give into my base instinct, as represented by the above paragraph, I become the same animal these muslims are. I'm better than that. Getting rid of them isn't the answer, because you can't get rid of intolerance. What we really need to do is become independent from the one thing that's keeping us involved with them: oil. It will happen, whether we like it or not. All that cheap, easy-to-drill oil is going to run out one day, and their civilization will either evolve or die. They have to realize now that they aren't always going to be holding the Oil trump card, and that they're going to have to start making some non-oil friends and evolve their religion if they want to survive as a society for the next couple hundred years. I guess I'm a little sad that I won't be around to see the good side of Islam come back into the light. There are too many minds going to waste in the desert, too many descendents of the minds that gave us algebra. I'm a little sad that I won't be around to see this large segment of the population start to contribute so much to the world. But the sadness is reason enough why I wouldn't push the button, it's reason enough why no one should.
