Ibn Warraq citations célèbres

“La nature totalitaire de l'islam n'est nulle part plus apparente que dans le concept de Jihad, la guerre sainte, dont le but final est de conquérir le monde entier et de le soumettre à la seule vraie religion, à la loi d'Allah. […]. Les musulmans ont le devoir de se battre et de tuer au nom d'Allah.”

Ibn Warraq

Pourquoi je ne suis pas musulman, 1999

“N'y a-t-il pas meilleur symbole de soumission à l'impérialisme musulman que l'image du peuple algérien qui se prosterne cinq fois par jour vers son conquérant situé en Arabie?”

Ibn Warraq

Pourquoi je ne suis pas musulman, 1999

“Alors qu'on culpabilise tous les Européens avec le colonialisme et l'impérialisme occidentaux […], l'impérialisme arabe est au contraire présenté comme un objet de fierté pour les musulmans. […] Personne ne s'avise de faire remarquer que l'islam a colonisé des territoires qui appartenaient à des civilisations anciennes, et que ce faisant, il a écrasé et réduit à néant de nombreuses cultures.”

“After their spectacular conquests, the Arabs were unwilling to concede equality to the non-Arab converts to Islam, despite Islamic doctrine that expressively forbade discrimination.

Source: Why I am not a Muslim, p. 202.

“Spring 1989 will always remain as a kind of watershed in intellectual and world history. In February 1989, the Ayatollah Khomeini delivered his infamous fatwa on Salman Rushdie. Immediately following in its wake came short interviews with or articles by Western intellectuals, Arabists, and Islamologists blaming Rushdie for bringing the barbarous sentence onto himself by writing the Satanic Verses. John Esposito, an American expert on Islam, claimed he knew “of no Western scholar of Islam who would not have predicted that [Rushdie’s] kind of statements would be explosive.” That is sheer hypocrisy coming from a man who has published extracts from Sadiq al-Azm’s previously quoted book, that had also dared to criticize Islam.”

Ibn Warraq: Why I am not a Muslim, Chapter 1
Why I am not a Muslim

“Ibn Warraq is the pen-name of the author whose parents emigrated from India to Pakistan as a result of the Partition. He was brought up in Pakistan, which was supposed to be an Islamic Republic. His experience revealed to him that the Muslims of India had been cheated in the name of Islam and its projected principles of equality, free will and democracy. As he grew up, he noticed that Islam had become an effective tool of convenient morality and achieving political goals; a religious or secular leader could prove anything from the Koran and Hadith to suit his purpose, yet every faithful believes that there is no contradiction in the verses of the Koran!”
