Hans Jansen: Islam for pigs, apes, mules and other beasts

March 2008

It seems that Dutch Arabist professor Hans Jansen from the university of Utrecht had enough. Enough of relativism, enough of uninformed people and enough of the over the top cowardliness, especially when voiced by the Dutch government. On his website he announced his upcoming book as “Reading the Koran for unbelievers”. But now with all the idiocy going on in The Netherlands about the Islam critical film Fitna, he seems to have changed his mind. The title of his new book is now “Islam for pigs, apes, mules and other beasts”.

The title of the book is of course a reference to how the Koran speaks about the unbelievers. A book that, so believe the Mohammedans, is the literal and eternal word of god. Thus it’s God him selves that describes unbelievers as either pigs, apes, mules or worse. This is of course, from our Western viewpoint, not a very flattering picture about Islam. But Jansen does want to provoke Muslims. He wants unbeliever to understand the religion, as far as that is even possible if you’re not grown up with these dogmatic teachings. At a very minimum people should at least understand that Islam is in important aspects very different from Christianity...

What parts of the Koran are according to people like Wilders, who criticize the Islam, a danger to the Western legal order?

As good as all parts of the Koran in which unbelievers are threatened with violence (there are many) can be regarded as anti Western by any body.

Every call for the application of sharia, can be regarded as openly voiced support for actions that are contrary to Dutch law and the universal declaration of human rights.

That outsiders are not aware of this, is of course a pity for them, but that does not change this fact. Sharia calls for corporal punishment and dead penalty, also in cases of religious transgressions – something most Dutch don’t even know what it means. Sharia limits the religious freedom, undermines the position of woman and humiliates everybody who is not a Muslim...

The Koran preaches peace. True or false?

True, but that peace will only come about when every body has submitted to Islam. Only then there will be peace. In the mean time, every where on earth evil and unbelief has to be attacked.
