Egyptian Muslim cleric: Allah prefers immoral, licentious warriors - Jihad Watch

Quote:
If there are two men, and one of them is stronger spiritually, while the other is stronger physically, (the latter) is more beneficial to that nation. In war, for example, the strong man offers his courage, even if he is immoral or licentious. The weak man (only) offers his impotence, even if he is faithful.
I find this message to be very revealing about Islam. A strong immoral man is preferred over a righteous man. Now the context is one of war and battle (when isn’t that the case in Islam?) so one might forgive them for choosing an immoral stronger man to fight alongside instead of a weaker righteous man. After all, when your life is on the line you want the best guy possible watching your back. However, that is a fairly modern, secular attitude. In Mohammad’s day most people who believed in a god of Gods believed that righteousness overcame evil despite physical differences. In Christianity and Judaism we have stories like David and Goliath and Daniel and the lion’s den where weaker men who were righteous overcame superior opposition. It seems Islam is a more ‘practical’ ideology where such things like morality and righteousness are put on the back burner in favor of more important things like winning and conquering. I take this as further evidence that Islam is a political ideology that just has religious elements attached to it for motivational purposes.

I personally am very happy to have had some bad, violent men fighting on our side in the past.

Having said that, he said the immoral man is "more beneficial to that nation". That is islam for ya.

Islam is nothing more than lies wrapped up in contraditions.
