Does ISLAM encourage altruism in man, OR, does ISLAM demean the human psyche, by offering moslem men ['lawful'] worldly and carnal incentives and rewards, for 'pleasing' Allah ?
Is ISLAM a virtuous philosophy ?
Does ISLAM encourage virtue in man ?
How ?
And in what way ?
No matter what moslem men may profess about their moslem virtue,
if we look at how good moslem men behave, rather than listening to what moslems tell us [and would have us believe], it is difficult to comprehend how it can be argued, that ISLAM teaches and instills virtue, into [moslem] men.
And if we try to uncover what seems to be really motivating moslem men to embrace ISLAM [i.e. all of the worldly and carnal incentives and rewards, in being a moslem man], then, imo, it is clear that moslem men are not embracing ISLAM, to benefit their fellow man.
ISLAM OFFERS WORLDLY [and carnal] MOTIVATION, IN THIS LIFE...The reward which ISLAM offers to moslem men, in this world, in the ideal ISLAMIC world, is the promise of 'lawful' rape, 'lawful' plunder, and a 'lawful' absolute authority over their own direct family, and 'lawful' direct control over those non-moslems [...enslaved by moslem terror], that Allah is kind enough to allocate to them.
To my eyes, ISLAM appears to 'legitimize' the oppression, enslavement, and robbery, of non-moslems,
...
BECAUSE THEY ARE, NON-MOSLEMS.
"....those who reject Allah have no protector."
Koran 47.008
v. 8-11
"Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission,
and feel themselves subdued. "
Koran 9.29
e.g.
Women, as war booty...
"..Also (prohibited are) women already married,
except those whom your right hands possess:..."
Koran 4.22-24
"O Prophet! We have made lawful to thee thy wives to whom thou hast paid their dowers;
and those whom thy right hand possesses out of the prisoners of war whom Allah has assigned to thee;..."
Koran 33.50
e.g.
And these ISLAMIC doctrines [relating to non-moslem captive women] are applied in the world today, by moslems...
Pakistan: Christian girls and women, some already married, abducted and forcibly converted to Islam
The marriages of captives are abrogated, by order of the Qur'an: "And all married women (are forbidden unto you) save those (captives) whom your right hands possess. It is a decree of Allah for you" (4:24). http://www.jihadwatch.org/2012/01/pakistan-christian-girls-some-already-married-...n.b.
It is clear that critics of ISLAM can present irrefutable proof [being ISLAMIC texts, and the example of the conduct of moslem men today], showing how immoral ISLAM is, as a philosophy....
The persecution of non-moslem minorities, by moslems, in majority moslem nations is easy to explore and to prove.

Q.
And yet, who among our moral leaders in the West, who among our political leaders in the West, and who among the mainstream media in the West, are challenging this open criminal behavior, sanctioned by mainstream ISLAM, in majority moslem nations ?
A.
No one.WHAT FURTHER WORLDLY MOTIVATION DOES ISLAM OFFER TO MOSLEMS, IN THIS LIFE ?...ISLAM offers to make moslem men 'lawful' *heirs*, to the possessions of 'unbelievers' [ISLAM making the possessions of 'unbelievers' 'lawful' plunder and war booty]... [n.b.
to be a *heir*, requires that there be a death of someone]
According to Allah [as per ISLAM's foundation texts, the Koran, and the Hadith],
THE WHOLE WORLD BELONGS TO MOSLEMS [as war booty]....
"Or have they gods that can guard them from Us? They have no power to aid themselves, nor can they be defended from Us.
...See they not that We gradually reduce the land (in their control) from its outlying borders? Is it then they who will win?"
Koran 21:43-44
"And He made you [moslems] heirs to their [non-moslem] land and their dwellings and their property, and (to) a land which you have not yet trodden, and Allah has power over all things."
Koran 33:27
According to ISLAM, the whole earth, and everything which it contains, belongs
exclusively to moslems.
Mohammed himself, defined the non-existent 'property rights' of non-moslems....
"While we were in the mosque, Allah's Apostle came out to us and said, "Let us proceed to the Jews."....The Prophet stood up and addressed them, "O Assembly of Jews!
Embrace Islam and you will be safe!" The Jews replied, "O Aba-l-Qasim! You have conveyed Allah's message to us." The Prophet said, "That is what I want (from you)." He repeated his first statement for the second time, and they said, "You have conveyed Allah's message, O Aba-l-Qasim." Then he said it for the third time and added, "
You should Know that the earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle, and I want to exile you from this land, so whoever among you owns some property, can sell it,
otherwise you should know that the Earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle." "
hadithsunnah/bukhari/ #009.085.077
hadithsunnah/bukhari/ #004.053.392
n.b.
"the earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle"
AND THERE IS CARNAL MOTIVATION, ENCOURAGING MOSLEMS TO 'SEEK' THE NEXT LIFE, THROUGH 'MARTYRDOM' [i.e. dying, while murdering Allah's enemies]...Should a moslem man die, fighting for Allah's cause, the moslem man is promised that he will [according to ISLAMIC doctrine] be instantly transported to Allah's bordello in the sky, where his most prurient and salacious desires will be satisfied, for all eternity.

72 virgins, reward, muslim martyrs
So-called moslem
'martyrdom' [being a perversion of the English language meaning of that word] brings a great reward in ISLAM, but Allah, makes it clear that he despises those men, those moslems, who refuse to embrace
WARFARE, in his 'cause'...
"O ye who believe!
what is the matter with you, that, when ye are asked to
go forth in the cause of Allah, ye cling heavily to the earth? Do ye prefer the life of this world to the Hereafter? But little is the comfort of this life, as compared with the Hereafter.
Unless ye go forth, He will punish you with a grievous penalty, and put others in your place; but Him ye would not harm in the least. For Allah hath power over all things."
Koran 9.38, 39
and,
"Allah's Apostle was asked,
"What is the best deed?" He replied, "To believe in Allah and His Apostle (Muhammad). The questioner then asked, "What is the next (in goodness)? He replied,
"To participate in Jihad (religious fighting) in Allah's Cause." "

CONCLUSION;Think about
the nature of the 'incentives' and promises, which ISLAM makes,
to entice men to embrace ISLAM.
If we examine what actually motivates moslem men, to embrace ISLAM, it seems reasonable to me, to conclude that those things which moslem men are seeking, are worldly and carnal rewards.
Rewards being;
#1, the war booty on earth [in this life], and,
#2, the 'delights' of Allah's [bordello in the sky] paradise, in the after life.
If those incentives are the real motivation of moslem men in embracing ISLAM, then i would argue, that the psyche of the moslem man, is essentially the psyche of a 'corrupt
secularist' [i.e. a greedy, grasping person, and an oppressor of his fellow men and women].
Are moslem men really so dumb ?
So dumb as to believe that their salvation, will come through the oppression and exploitation of others ?
