In
this interview, Copitc priest Zakaria Botros explains how he takes Islam apart on his television show "Truth Talk." As an Arab well-versed in Islamic writings, he exposes Islam for what it is - an absurd religion founded by a moral monster:
But faith aside, common sense alone makes it clear that, of all the world’s major religions, Islam is most certainly false. After all, while I may not believe in, say, Buddhism, still, it obviously offers a good philosophical system and people follow it apparently for its own intrinsic worth. The same cannot be said about Islam. Of all the religions it is the only one that has to threaten its adherents with death if they try to break away; that, from its inception, in order to “buy” followers, has been dedicated to fulfilling some of the worst impulses of man—for conquest, sex, plunder, pride. History alone demonstrates all this: while Christianity was spread far and wide by Christians who altruistically gave up their lives, simply because they believed in Christ, Islam spread by force, by the edge of the sword, by fear, threats, and lurid enticements to the basest desires of man. Islam is by far the falsest religion—an assertion that is at once theologically, philosophically, and historically demonstrable.
Mohammed belongs in the same category as many others who placed an unusual religious charisma in the service of their sexual appetites. They would include John of Leiden (leader of an Anabaptist sect), John Humphrey Noyes (founder of the Oneida community), Joseph Smith (Mormonism), Jim Jones (People's Temple), and David Koresh (Branch Davidians).
