<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Kufr </i>is an Arabic word meaning disbelief - specifically disbelief in the truth claims of Islam.<br />
<br />
<i>Kufr</i> is the absence of Islamic belief. To love <i>kufr </i>is to love the absence of Islamic belief.<br />
<br />
<i>Kufr </i>can be any degree of doubt about the truth of Islam right up to complete rejection of its claims.<br />
<br />
Islam at its core is an assertion. The assertion is that Muhammad's claim about himself is true. The whole edifice of Islam is built around that assertion. The <i>shahada</i>, the Muslim declaration of faith, is an affirmation of related assertions: One, that there is a God and, two, that Muhammad is his final messenger. "There is no God but Allah and Muhammad is His messenger".<br />
<br />
Islam grew as a means of defending and extending the scope of that assertion. To be committed to that assertion is to be a Muslim and any doubt regarding its truth is a failure of belief; that is <i>kufr</i>. This failure of belief is treated as disloyalty and betrayal in Islam.<br />
<br />
<div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdjukeLXGiq5rdLSQSxHrjgDTEEgVIGDwHUnfJapGVoIy487MjrkkpqC34mhV_EuZN6eEN4qCYjuXX4bNpl0AXWEgDoZrbX7gIqm1TE1Cm_VtyttdUY3e7LI13cd0YQfXikQ-l4P0hdFFC/s1600/IloveKufrlrg.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdjukeLXGiq5rdLSQSxHrjgDTEEgVIGDwHUnfJapGVoIy487MjrkkpqC34mhV_EuZN6eEN4qCYjuXX4bNpl0AXWEgDoZrbX7gIqm1TE1Cm_VtyttdUY3e7LI13cd0YQfXikQ-l4P0hdFFC/s200/IloveKufrlrg.png" width="191" /></a><i>Kufr </i>can therefore be used to refer to all that negates Islam in some way. All that lies outside Islam and which Islam is programmed to eradicate, all this is <i>kufr</i> or unbelief. All that can lead Muslims to abandon the core assertion of Islam is a form of <i>kufr. Kufr </i>is a useful little word for summing up everything that is not Islam or which runs against it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
All those things that are not Islam stand in opposition to Islam by virtue of Islam's opposition to them. To say "I love <i>kufr</i>" is to make a stand for all that Islam would like to destroy in order to defend its core assertion.<br />
<br />
Devious Islamists and their brain-dead supporters on the Left like to portray those opposed to Islam as "haters" but we are really not haters but lovers: we love <i>kufr</i>; all those things which are not Islamic.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We can use the term <i>kufr</i> to refer to the plurality of beliefs, ideas, cultures, and activities which are not Islamic and which, by virtue of Islam's own opposition to all that is not Islamic, are threatened with annihilation by Islam. It is not enough that these things present no threat to Muslims in themselves because by their mere existence they present temptations for Muslims to abandon Islam and must therefore be removed.</div>
<div>
</div>
<br />
<div>
Some of the many things we can put in the category of <i>kufr</i> are:</div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkzhOGebF34F9UGNfmbbdmd-dkATLsOdbqDpQi6RbjDvvLru3b3DY9UE4MvDgiqq6nPzTwcU0-ohm8MwcQMXBZjgPkVVT0Z-R_aRAnhOMwFO15496MRKcPcfoMlaysTzH6fbUGJujD6zc/s1600/i+heart+kufr+%2528red+and+white%2529.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="191" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkzhOGebF34F9UGNfmbbdmd-dkATLsOdbqDpQi6RbjDvvLru3b3DY9UE4MvDgiqq6nPzTwcU0-ohm8MwcQMXBZjgPkVVT0Z-R_aRAnhOMwFO15496MRKcPcfoMlaysTzH6fbUGJujD6zc/s200/i+heart+kufr+%2528red+and+white%2529.gif" width="200" /></a>
<li>free inquiry</li>
<li>freedom of conscience</li>
<li>freedom of speech</li>
<li>figurative art in all its wonderful variety</li>
<li>music in all its wonderful variety</li>
<li>democracy</li>
<li>cultural pluralism</li>
<li>dancing and fun in all their wonderful variety</li>
<li>science</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
"I love <i>kufr</i>" is a way of saying "Islam's core assertion is false. I repudiate and reject it.". It is a way of affirming all things non-Islamic. It is a way of saying "I refuse to be intimidated by Islam's vile nonsense." It is a statement of defiance and rebellion.<br />
<br />
<i>Kufr </i>is any failure to strictly uphold the beliefs of Islam and since the beliefs of Islam are so terrible it is a cause for celebration when Muslims are less Islamic to any degree. Better still is the loss of belief altogether.<br />
<br />
Why should one love the absence of Islamic belief? Why love <i>kufr</i>?<br />
<br />
Because where Islamic belief is absent:<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>there is no <i>Sharia</i></li>
<li>there is room for innocent fun</li>
<li>there is more freedom</li>
<li>there is music and dancing</li>
<li>life can move on and evolve</li>
<li>there are no <i>burkhas, chadors, niqabs, </i>or <i>hijabs</i></li>
<li>there is no <i>jihad</i></li>
<li>life is better for everyone</li>
</ul>
<div>
And in that blessed moment of <i>kufr</i> when a Muslim loses his or her belief all Creation smiles.<br />
<br />
When Islamic belief gives way to <i>kufr </i>beautiful things <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0plC24YuoJk&feature=youtu.be" target="_blank">happen</a>. This blog pays homage to the beauty of <i>kufr.</i></div>
<div>
<br />
One thing that I hope to do is to show how many great Muslim people have rejected Islam in total or in part and that this will demonstrate that there is nothing immovable or sacrosanct about Islamic belief; that Westerners who are afraid to criticize Islam for various reasons will take heart from the courageous examples of others; and also that it will take the fight to the enemy by celebrating the negation of Islam and repudiate its core assertion.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Mona Walter originated in Somalia but moved to Sweden. She discovered that the Muslim community in Sweden was very radicalized. In Somalia, Islam was adopted rather unconsciously but in Sweden it was more articulated. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
She began to study the Koran and the life and character of Muhammad. She was shocked by what she found. She realized very quickly that Muhammad was a very immoral person and that the teachings he gave were also immoral.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
These observations led her to abandon Islam. Instead, she began to try and educate other Muslims about the real nature of Islam. She now travels incognito and sometimes has police protection. There are even idiotic "progressives" who have accused her of racism.</div>

<br />
<b>Ibn al-Rawandi</b> was a Persian skeptic, critic of Islam and religion in general who lived between 827 and 911 CE. He abandoned Islam for atheism and used his knowledge of Islam to refute the Koran. He rejected the authority of any scriptural or revealed religion. He described the Muslim traditions as "lies endorsed by conspiracies".<br />
<br />
He points out that Muhammad's own statements regarding the corrupted nature of the Talmud and the Bible show that revealed scriptures are untrustworthy and that the same skepticism must necessarily be applied to the Koran. I recently came across an ex-Muslim blogger who put forward a very clever argument which can be summarized thus:<br />
<br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Muhammad bases his claim to being a prophet on references that he ascribes to himself in the Talmud and the Bible</li>
<li>Muhammad says the Talmud and the Bible are corrupted and untrustworthy books</li>
<li>Muhammad's claim that the Talmud and the Bible endorse his prophetic status therefore falls apart because he declares his own sources to be corrupted</li>
</ol>
<br />
al-Rawandi ridicules certain Muslim traditions. For example, the tradition that angels rallied round to help Muhammad is not believable because if they were willing to help him at Badr why were they absent at Uhud when they were so badly needed?<br />
<br />
In the Book of the Emerald he criticizes prayer, ritual purity and the ceremonies of the hajj; throwing stones, circumambulating a house that cannot respond to prayers, and running between stones that can neither help nor harm.<br />
<br />
He maintained that religious dogmas are not acceptable to reason and must therefore be rejected; the miracles attributed to 'prophets', many of whom are charlatans, are pure invention; the greatest 'miracle' in the eyes of Muslims, the Koran, is neither a revealed book nor even an inimitable literary masterpiece.<br />

<b>Abu Isa al-Warraq </b>was a 9th-century Arab skeptic (born circa 815 CE) and an early critic of Islam and of religion in general. He was a mentor and friend to Ibn al-Rawandi and appears in his book "The Book of the Emerald" which is a bold attack on prophets and prophecy, Muhammad in particular, and the validity of the Koran.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
al-Warraq was obviously a man of unwavering rationality and courage. He argued that God was unlikely to exist because, "He who orders his slave to do things that he knows him to be incapable of doing, then punishes him, is a fool."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Echoing European Enlightenment thinkers of the 18th century he also argued that we do not require revelations from God to work out that forgiveness is good; we should not heed the claims of self-appointed prophets if what is claimed runs contrary to good sense and reason. Contemporary skeptics such as Sam Harris argue in very similar terms today.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
He admired the intellect not for its ability to submit to God but for its ability to understand the world and the universe and its irrepressible inquisitiveness.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
He also doubted that Muhammad was a prophet.</div>

Ibrahim Issa is an Egyptian TV host. In a remarkable discourse on Egyptian TV he challenged the Islamic authorities to admit that the despicable crimes committed by ISIS are all consistent with the prophetic record of Muhammad and not in anyway departures from it.<br />
<br />
In essence, he not only challenges them to admit these facts (which they can hardly be ignorant of), he also challenges them (and by implication Islam itself) to measure up to a higher moral standard than is demonstrated in the Islamic scriptures, laws, and traditions.<br />

<strong><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Why Islam is Worse Than
Nazism</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><b><br /></b>

<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I am an atheist author and poet,
who had lived as a Sunni Muslim for 23 years from birth, and I am still living
in a Muslim country, Turkey. Also, my parents and all of my relatives are still
Muslim. So, my critics about Islam can be easily consider this an inside view.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I know that the title of this
essay seems assertive, but I will explain the rightness of this title
step-by-step in this essay.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">First of all, you have to learn
about Islam that if you are an “outsider”, a non-Muslim, for example, a
Christian, an atheist, a Buddhist, a Jew or whatever else, all Muslims have the
“right” of killing and raping you, grabbing all your properties, your country,
land, money and anything else. They take this “right” from the book of their belief,
the Quran. In other words, they take this “right” from their belief’s core, the
theology of Islam.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Here are some examples of this in
verses from Quran.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">This verse of Quran is about “all
non-Muslims”, all “heretics”! — Christians, Buddhists, atheists, Jews, etc. —
describing them “who wage war<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><strong>against Allah</strong><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><strong>and</strong><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><strong>His
Messenger (Muhammad)”</strong><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><strong><br /></strong></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.5pt;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Surat Al-Ma’idah (5.33) </span></strong><span style="color: #2d6895; font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;"><a href="http://quran.com/5/33" style="line-height: 15.5pt;">http://quran.com/5/33</a></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.5pt;">
<em><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">“Indeed, the penalty for those
who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause]
corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and
feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That
is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great
punishment.”</span></em><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></em></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">And this verse of the Quran is
about<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><strong>the order to killing</strong><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>the humans who left Islam,<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><strong>the
apostates</strong>:<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.5pt;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Surat An-Nisa’ (4.89) </span></strong><span style="color: #2d6895; font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;"><a href="http://quran.com/4/89" style="line-height: 15.5pt;">http://quran.com/4/89</a></span><br />

<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.5pt;">
<em><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">“They wish you would disbelieve
as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among them
allies until they emigrate for the cause of Allah. But if they turn away, then
seize them and kill them wherever you find them and take not from among them
any ally or helper.”</span></em><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></em></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Look at the current situation in
Syria. How can Islamist terrorists slaughter Alawite people or rape Christian
women so easily? Because they take this “right” from their belief and they
believe that they will go to the heaven because of these vandalistic actions
against “outsiders”, who are out of Islam, who don’t believe the same religious
tenets — in other words, those who are the “heretics” according to their
belief. Some Muslims say, “But they are not the real Muslims.” That is a big
lie; that is the exact form of real Islam, because these vandalistic actions
are in accord with the orders of Quran.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">You have heard many times that
“Islam is a tolerant religion”. That is the biggest lie that you can hear all
over the World, and this lie is used as a mask to hide the terrible face of
Islam. There is NO difference between Islam and Islamism. This is the main
error that the modern world make about Islam. There are not different forms as
Islam and Islamism, they are the same thing, and they have the same content.
This separation is just only an illusion, and it is used by Muslims to hide the
brutal, hateful, oppressive,murderous, genocidal face of Islam.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Islamic theology is based on the
verses of the Quran and Hadith. Hadiths are the words and actions of the
Islamic prophet Muhammad, and all Muslims must follow these words and actions
in addition to the orders of Quran. For example, you have to defecate as
Muhammad did, and you have to clean yourself as he did, or you can rape and
enslave a “heretic” woman in a war as a sex slave as Muhammad did, or you can
torture your enemy in a war to learn the place of his hidden money, as Muhammad
did.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">You “must” cut the hand of a
thief as Muhammad did, not give him any prison sentence as do the modern laws.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">You must stone a woman to death
as Muhammad did, because she had sex outside of the rules of Islam (but you
must only whip her partner a hundred times). If you are a Muslim, you can never
set them free while considering that their sexual actions are about their own
personal relations and freedom, in accord with modern laws. You must definitely
apply the punishments of Muhammad such as stoning the woman to the death and
whipping her partner a hundred times if you want to be a good Muslim.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">You must kill the man who left
the belief of Islam, as Muhammad did. You can’t say “This is his own choice and
he has the freedom of thought and belief”, because it is an order of the Quran
that you “must” kill the persons who were Muslim before and then left the
Islamic religion.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">You must kill all homosexuals
according to the orders of Islam. No Muslims can say according to Islam that
their sexual orientation is their own natural right, in accord with the human
rights norms of our age.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">You have the “right” to marry a
little girl at 9 years old, as Muhammad did. In other words, you can rape a
little child legally in Islam and make her a sex slave, and also a domestic
slave till the end of her life.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">You can lie alongside of your
dead wife for 6 hours, as Muhammad did. In other words, you can rape the dead
body of your wife for 6 hours after her death.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Here is Islam…Here is the
“tolerant religion”…Here is the right way to the heaven…Here are the orders of
Allah…Here are the actions of Muhammad…<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">You can easily see how civilized
the Muslim countries of the world are because of Islam, such as Afghanistan,
Nigeria, Turkey, Iran, Sudan and the others. You can see how much they have
contributed to the history of philosophy, the history of art, and the history
of science of the whole world. You can see how respectful they are to human
rights, women’s rights, children’s rights, the freedom of expression and
thought, the freedom of the press, the freedom of belief, etc.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The first genocide wave of 20th
century, the Armenian Genocide, the Assyrian Genocide and the Pontic Greek Genocide,
was perpetrated by Turkish and Kurdish people of the Ottoman Empire and the new
Turkish Republic, getting motivation from the “rights” that they had because of
Islam: the “rights” of killing and raping the non-Muslims, enslaving their
women and little girls as sex slaves and also domestic slaves, and grabbing
their money, houses and lands. However, “The Committee of Union and Progress”
(CUP) (Turkish: İttihat ve Terakki Cemiyeti) was based on Turkish nationalism;
they used Turkish and Kurdish people easily for these genocides because of the
Islamic religion’s content about non-Muslims. All the Turkish and Kurdish
Muslims believed that they would go to the heaven if they killed more
non-Muslims, as do today’s Islamist terrorists.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The owners of the second genocide
wave of 20th century were Nazis, as you know. They took the genocides of the
Turks as a sample. It is know that Adolf Hitler said to his military
commanders,<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><em>“Who, after all, speaks today of the
annihilation of the Armenians?,”</em><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>while
they were talking about the reaction of the world about the genocides that they
were planning to perpetrate.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Nazism was considered a legal and
respectable ideology at the beginning of the 1930s, and then the world saw how
dangerous Nazism was. Millions of people died because of Nazism, and today it
is illegal to support Nazism in any civilized country. You can never make
propaganda about Nazism legally. Today, Nazism is not considered as a genuine
thought alternative, and it is not included in the freedom of thought and
expression.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">As I have detailed above, Islam
is against the human rights norms of our age, and it has more dangerous content
than Nazism. Islam is not a belief alternative, it is just a crime against
humanity, and any crime shouldn’t have freedom in our modern world. So, Islam
must be declared illegal all over the world, as is Nazism, because of its
vandal content and commands that are against human rights. All actions about
Islam must be forbidden and the propagandists of Islam must be judged because
of instigating to the crimes of murder, rape, grab and crimes against humanity.
Otherwise, the world will meet with a big tragedy when the Islamists will get
more power, as the world suffered because of Nazism.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Turan Dursun (1934 – 4 September 1990)</div>
<div style="font-family: verdana;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: verdana; text-align: center;">

<div style="font-family: verdana;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana;">
Just look at those beautiful warm eyes, so full of humanity and intelligence! Turan Dursun was a Shia Islamic scholar and writer. His work is very critical of Islam and the founders of its major branches.</div>
<div style="font-family: verdana;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana;">
He worked as an Islamic cleric before becoming an atheist during his study of the history of monotheistic religions. He was a well-known critic of religion and was frequently threatened by Islamic fundamentalists.</div>
<div style="font-family: verdana;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana;">
Whilst preparing for a meeting with the Pope, Dursun studied Christianity in more depth and was immediately struck by the deceitfulness of Islam when he compared his vast knowledge of Islam with the Christian sources.</div>
<div style="font-family: verdana;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana;">
After drawing negative conclusions about religion, he became angry that Muhammad robbed people of their childhood and youth. He said:</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="font-family: verdana;">
So many people can't live their childhood properly because of him. So many people are sufferers of his disasters. So many people know what's right as wrong and what's wrong as right because they think the darkness that he chose exists. Human emotions and human creations haven't progressed in many ways, because of him.</blockquote>
<div style="font-family: verdana;">
For 2 or 3 years Dursun was a theist and during this time reached the conclusion that: If there is a God, he's not Muhammad's.</div>
<div style="font-family: verdana;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana;">
After this he became an atheist and accepted the findings of evolution. He was a keen student of anthropology.</div>
<div style="font-family: verdana;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana;">
After his resignation as a mufti, Dursun struggled to earn a living in Istanbul and even became a binman. His decision to quit as a mufti was a tough one, but Dursun stated that his principle was always "never to have a contradiction between what I thought and what I did."</div>
<div style="font-family: verdana;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana;">
He wrote many books during the 1980s collating his vast knowledge of Islam and languages of the Middle East. He opened the religion to internal criticism through the mass media, perhaps for the first time in the religion's history.</div>
<div style="font-family: verdana;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana;">
On 4 September 1990 Dursun was assassinated by two gunmen in Istanbul. It was later discovered that many items were missing from his bookshelves. On his bed was found a book entitled, "the Holy Terror of Hizbullah" which did not belong to Dursun and was probably left as a message by the terrorists.</div>
<div style="font-family: verdana;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana;">
As a result of the investigation, 15 suspects were arrested but they were immediately released after their first appearance in court.</div>
