Islam Spread By The Sword

2006-05-23T16:39:00.000-07:00

Lets examine how many 'Islam is peace and tolerance' myths can be busted using just one page of the tafsir (explanation of the quran to understand its context) of Ibn Kathir website at tafsir.com. To understand who Ibn Kathir was (notice how tafsir.com doesnt even tell who he was because its assumed everyone reading knows who he was), lets look at the wikipedia bio page where it states:

Tafsir Ibn Kathir is famous all over the Muslim world and among Muslims in the Western world, and is one of the most widely used explanations of the Qu'ran today. (source)

8.39-41 tafsir (source):

1) Tolerance?

The Order to fight to eradicate Shirk and Kufr.

On the source page, kufr is defined as disbelief. Eradicate disbelief. Thats the complete opposite of tolerance. By islamic definition, shirk is 'any type of worship outside of the islamic mold'. This is a direct challenge to 'freedom of religion', because quran 8.39 is saying to eradicate freedom of religion and disbelief, based on their nauseating, zealot, self-proclaimed 'monopoly on truth'. In the tafsir of quran 9.5, this fighting is commanded to be fought 'on the earth in general'. (9.5)

then fight and kill the idolators wherever you may find them.' Allah's statement
next, (then fight the Mushrikin wherever you find them), means, on the earth
in general

2) Spread by the sword and take their money and resources is proven with the statement:

I was commanded to fight against the people until they proclaim, `There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah.' If and when they say it, they will preserve their blood and wealth from me

3) What is the purpose of this fighting?

Theocratic imperialism. Whoever says fighting in islam is only in self defense is lying.

"Whoever fights so that Allah's Word is the supreme, is in the cause of Allah"

4) A non-muslim telling a lie to a muslim is unacceptable, but a muslim telling a lie to a non-muslim is acceptable. This little story below is Muhammad detailing how a last minute conversion in the face of death or calamity to save your skin is illigitimate, hence the references to the 'day of resurrection', and that Muhammad did not condemn Usamah's action.

It is recorded in the Sahih that the Messenger of Allah said to Usamah bin Zayd when he overpowered a man with his sword, after that man proclaimed that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah; (Have you killed him after he proclaimed, `La Ilaha Illallah' What would you do with regard to `La Ilaha Illallah' on the Day of Resurrection.) Usamah said, "O Allah's Messenger! He only said it to save himself.'' The Messenger replied (Did you cut his heart open) The Messenger kept repeating, (What would you do with regard to `La Ilaha Illallah' on the Day of Resurrection) until Usamah said, "I wished I had embraced Islam only that day.'' Allah said next, (And if they turn away, then know that Allah is your protector, an excellent
protector, and an excellent helper!) Allah says, if the disbelievers persist in defying and fighting you, then know that Allah is your protector, master and supporter against your enemies. Verily, what an excellent protector and what an excellent supporter.

Yet, if the tables are turned, a muslim lying to a non-muslim is acceptable (tafsir of quran 3.28) Note the hypocrisy:

(unless you indeed fear a danger from them) meaning, except those believers who in some areas or times fear for their safety from the disbelievers. In this case, such believers are allowed to show friendship to the disbelievers outwardly, but never inwardly. For instance, Al-Bukhari recorded that Abu Ad-Darda' said, "We smile in the face of some people although our hearts curse them.'' Al-Bukhari said that Al-Hasan said, "The Tuqyah is allowed until the Day of Resurrection.'' The tafsir of Ibn Abbas (Muhammad's cousin) says: "With your tongues, but not with your hearts". That's called 'lying'.)

Nice double standard huh? It gets plenty worse believe me. Continue reading down the rest of this blog.

5) Muhammad and Islam's profit motive (more like a mafia pyramid scheme) is declared at the bottom of the page:

And know that whatever of war booty that you may gain, verily, one-fifth of it is assigned to Allah, and to the Messenger, and to the near relatives (of the Messenger), the orphans, the poor, and the wayfarer

For more dirty politics for financial gain, also note the tafsirs of quran 9.29:

The Order to fight People of the Scriptures until They give the Jizyah (source)

and if your wondering what jizya is, read the next page:

Paying Jizyah is a Sign of Kufr and Disgrace (source) and an examination of the ' Pact of Umar '.

More Islam Spread By The Sword

Notice that by reading the verses from the english translation of the quran below, you might just gloss right over it, because the 'spread by the sword' mentality isnt immediantly apparent.

quran 18:83 - And they ask you about Dhul-Qarnain. Say: "I shall recite to you something of his story."
18:84 - Verily, We established him in the earth, and We gave him the means of everything.
18:85 - So he followed a way.
---
editors note: Is 18:85 the 'straight path' muslims claim to be following? If so, note what it recommends/commands them to do as they journey to the furthest reaches of the earth, (or is it the literal end of the flat earth?)
---
18:86 - Until, when he reached the setting place of the sun, he found it setting in a spring of black muddy (or hot) water. And he found near it a people. We (Allah) said (by inspiration): "O Dhul-Qarnain! Either you punish them, or treat them with kindness."
18:87 - He said: "As for him (a disbeliever in the Oneness of Allah) who does wrong, we shall punish him; and then he will be brought back unto his Lord; Who will punish him with a terrible torment.

What does this story, and specifically 'we shall punish him' mean? Lets go to three islamic tafsirs (explanation of quranic verses) to get some insight, Notice how all three tafsirs say to kill:

(1) Tafsir by Ibn Kathir (source) :

(We (Allah) said (by inspiration): "O Dhul-Qarnayn! Either you punish them or treat them with kindness'') means, Allah gave him power over them and gave him the choice: if he wanted to, he could kill the men and take the women and children captive, or if he wanted to, he could set them free, with or without a ransom. His justice and faith became apparent in the ruling he pronounced:
As for him who does wrong,) meaning who persists in his Kufr and in associating others in worship with his Lord,
(we shall punish him,) Qatadah said, i.e., by killing him.

(2) Tafsir of al-Jalalayn (source) :

He said, 'As for him who does wrong, by way of [practising] idolatry, we shall chastise him, We shall slay him. Then he shall be returned to his Lord and He shall chastise him with an awful chastisement (read nukran or nukuran), that is, a severe [one], in the Fire.

(3) Tafsir of Ibn ‘Abbâs (source) :

(He said: As for him who doth wrong) as for him who disbelieves in Allah, (we shall punish him) in this worldly life by killing him, (and then he will be brought back unto his Lord) in the Hereafter, (who will punish him) by means of the Fire (with awful punishment!) with a severe punishment.

---
There you have it. The quran teaches to go out and create murder and mayhem in the name of islam. This is a common theme in the quran. In fact killing and dying in the name of islam is considered the 'supreme success' per quran 9.111

quran 9:111 - Verily, Allah has purchased of the believers their lives and their properties; for the price that theirs shall be the Paradise. They fight in Allah's Cause, so they kill (others) and are killed. It is a promise in truth which is binding on Him in the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel) and the Qur'an. And who is truer to his covenant than Allah? Then rejoice in the bargain which you have concluded. That is the supreme success.

Book 019, Number 4292:
Ibn 'Aun reported: I wrote to Nafi' inquiring from him whether it was necessary to extend (to the disbelievers) an invitation to accept (Islam) before m". ing them in fight. He wrote (in reply) to me that it was necessary in the early days of Islam. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) made a raid upon Banu Mustaliq while they were unaware and their cattle were having a drink at the water. He killed those who fought and imprisoned others. On that very day, he captured Juwairiya bint al-Harith. Nafi' said that this tradition was related to him by Abdullah b. Umar who (himself) was among the raiding troops. ---

---
("He killed those who fought" is actually "He killed those who defended themselves.")
---

Book 019, Number 4294
(EXCERPT) Invite them to (accept) Islam; if they respond to you, accept it from them and desist from fighting against them. Then invite them to migrate from their lands to the land of Muhairs and inform them that, if they do so, they shall have all the privileges and obligations of the Muhajirs. If they refuse to migrate, tell them that they will have the status of Bedouin Muilims and will be subjected to the Commands of Allah like other Muslims, but they will not get any share from the spoils of war or Fai' except when they actually fight with the Muslims (against the disbelievers). If they refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the Jizya. If they agree to pay, accept it from them and hold off your hands. If they refuse to pay the tax, seek Allah's help and fight them.

Sheer Insanity & Dhimmitude

2006-05-15T09:36:00.000-07:00

Many muslims and the mainstream media are carefully setting up non-muslims like lambs to the slaughter.

Here's a typical news headline:

Study: English Muslims face deprivations

They are more likely to be jobless, have poor housing than other minorities
Associated (with terrorists) press (source)
Updated: 8:40 a.m. ET May 15, 2006
LONDON - Muslims are more likely than other religious minorities to be unemployed and live in poor housing in the most deprived parts of England, according to a government study Monday.
Half of English Muslims over the age of 25 are not involved in the formal labor market and a third live in the most deprived areas of the country, according to the study commissioned by the government.
Muslims are also particularly vulnerable to long-term illness and experience poor levels of education, said the researchers from the universities of Derby, Warwick, Birmingham and Oxford.
“Taking the Muslim population as a whole, they face some of the most acute conditions of multiple deprivation,” the report said.

Sticking close together

The report said members of the Muslim, Sikh and Hindu communities were likely to remain concentrated in the same areas because families want to stay close together and many prefer to live near their places of worship.
A government spokeswoman said the academics had reviewed a variety of data, including information from the 2001 national census.
The government will use the study in its work to encourage equal opportunities for members of all religious communities, the spokeswoman said.
Sir Iqbal Sacranie, secretary-general of the Muslim Council of Britain, said the research showed the poverty and other deep-seated problems that have contributed to the marginalization and disaffection felt among many young Muslims.
“We hope that this report serves to highlight the need to develop policies that are able reach into these communities and fulfill their needs,” Sacranie said.
end of article.
----------
This article is a typical attempt to portray muslims as persecuted, marginalized, disaffected, discriminated against, etc. Deceptive articles like this one from the Associated Press and carried by major news outlets like msnbc in this case, are why people are rapidly losing trust in the mainstream media. Note where the information in the article is partly coming from: (- Iqbal Sacranie, secretary-general of the Muslim Council of Britain, said - . )

Remember that a major component of taqiyya is withholding key information, so now let's take a look at what they dont tell you.

What They Dont Tell You:

The source of this divisive behaviour comes from islam itself.

quran 3.149 - O ye who believe! if ye obey those who disbelieve, they will make you turn back on your heels, and ye turn back as losers.
quran 3.151 - We will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve, because they set up with Allah that for which He has sent down no authority, and their abode is the fire, and evil is the abode of the unjust.

Muslims have no intention of assimilating. Quite the opposite. Its all part of Allah's identity theft of 'God', or evils identity theft of good.... however you want to look at it.

quran 5.51 - O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.

quran 4.144 - O you who believe! do not take the unbelievers for friends rather than the believers; do you desire that you should give to Allah a manifest proof against yourselves?

quran 98.6 - Verily, those who disbelieve from among the People of the Book and the idolaters, will be in the Fire of Hell, abiding therein. They are the worst of creatures.

quran 9.123 - O ye who believe! fight such of the disbelievers as are near to you and let them find hardness in you; and know that ALLAH is with the righteous.

---The strategy tactic of 9.123 is like that of a circular ripple effect. The article would like you to believe that the muslims want to keep their families togethor and be close to the mosques, but the real tactic is to band tightly togethor and then expand outward by making life miserable for the non-muslims. The tafsir (explanation) confirms this:
Tafsir al-Jalalayn of quran 9.123
O you who believe, fight those of the disbelievers who are near to you, that is, the nearest, followed by the next nearest of them, and let them find harshness in you, that is, severity, in other words, be harsh with them, and know that God is with the pious, helping and granting [them] victory.
'Helping and granting them victory' is what Iqbal Sacranie, (secretary-general of the Muslim Council of Britain), has in mind with the statement 'fulfill their needs' in the article. ---

quran 8.39 - And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism: i.e. worshipping others besides Allah) and the religion (worship) will all be for Allah Alone [in the whole of the world]. But if they cease (worshipping others besides Allah), then certainly, Allah is All-Seer of what they do.

This Associated (with terrorists) Press article carried by MSNBC.com (and whoever else) is playing the public for fools! The public should feel severely insulted at this blatant islamic propaganda. Read this link below and see from an islamic website that muslims consider non-muslims guilty of worse than murder simply for existing:

http://inshallahshaheed.wordpress.com/2006/11/13/al-walaa-wal-baraa-part-2-hating-all-non-muslims-for-their-shirk/

quran 4.101 - And when you journey in the earth, there is no blame on you if you shorten the prayer, if you fear that those who disbelieve will cause you distress, surely the unbelievers are your open enemy.

quran 28.86 - And you were not expecting that the Book (this Qur'an) would be sent down to you, but it is a mercy from your Lord. So never be a supporter of the disbelievers.

quran 9.29 - Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allah, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islam) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

And feel themselves subdued??? And they have the NERVE to claim they are being marginalized???!!!!! Again, this Associated (with terrorists) Press article is pure islamic propoganda. The Arabic word used in 9.29 is 'saghiroona'. For reference, note that in quran 27.37 is it also used in context of disgraced, humiliated, shame, humbled. See 9.29 and 27.37 here. Another fine example of islamic perpetual victims syndrome is pointed out here. Dont let a muslim tell you jizya is 'just a tax'. It is a symbol of humiliation and degradation as demonstrated in the weblink below.

Paying Jizyah is a Sign of Kufr and Disgrace (source)

Jizyah is 'protection money' just like the mafia. See it referenced as 'protection' (protection from who? from the muslims of course!) in

Book 19, Number 2955: He fixed stipends for Muslims, and provided protection for the people of other religions by levying jizyah (poll-tax) on them .

Book #19, Hadith #3031: He spared his life and made peace with him on condition that he should pay jizyah (poll-tax).
Book #34, Hadith #425: jizya (a tax taken from the non-Muslims, who are in the protection, of the Muslim government).
Book #53, Hadith #386: Our Prophet, the Messenger of our Lord, has ordered us to fight you till you worship Allah Alone or give jizya (i.e. tribute); and our Prophet has informed us that our Lord says:-- "Whoever amongst us is killed (i.e. martyred), shall go to paradise to lead such a luxurious life as he has never seen, and whoever amongst us remain alive, shall become your master."
Book #019, Hadith #4294: If they refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the jizya.
Muslims will say this is something that doesnt apply anymore, yet their texts contradict that:
Sahih Bukhari Volume 3, Book 43, Number 656:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until the son of Mary (i.e. Jesus) descends amongst you as a just ruler, he will break the cross, kill the pigs, and abolish the Jizya tax. Money will be in abundance so that nobody will accept it (as charitable gifts).

Its interesting how muslims want to be percieved as persecuted and marginalized when their very own islamic texts tell them to persecute and marginalize all others. (Side note: Hijab and burqas for women are similar to jizya in a symbolic sense because they provide a visual seperation to identify which women are not to be harassed by muslim men. Source: islamic tafsir)

quran 9.33 - He it is Who hath sent His messenger with the guidance and the Religion of Truth, that He may cause it to prevail over all religion, however much the nonbelievers may be averse.

Note the word 'religion' in 9:33. There is no seperation of 'church and state' in islam, therefor, the plan is to stuff political islam down you and your children's throats whether you like it or not. The Associated (with terrorists) Press, MSNBC.com, whatever other news outlet carried this story (and ones like it), and Iqbal Sacranie, (secretary-general of the Muslim Council of Britain), would really appreciate your support and dhimmitude. Ponder this: Does Iqbal Sacranie care about what the people of Britain think, or the 'great reward' promised in quran 4.74?

quran 4.74 - Let those then fight on the path of Allah, who barter this present life for that which is to come; for whoever fighteth on Allah's path, whether he be slain or conquer, we will in the end give him a great reward.

I'm sure Iqbal Sacranie, in his fancy suit and tie, will find some gullible suckers to help pave his way to 'great reward'. Pure deception, zealotry and propaganda. Dont fall for it.

It never ends. Read more here and here.

Read the Pact of Umar . Note how it is the enforcement of quran 9.29, and is a prime reason why conflict follows muslims wherever they go. Remember that the next time someone TRIES TO portrays islam as a 'spiritual philosophy' or a 'peaceful source of inspiration' (George W. Bush - Hillary Clinton - Condoleeza Rice). Personally I'll never endorse a politician or political party unless I feel they have a true grasp of the motives of political islam.

---

Its blatantly obvious that the way muslims WANT to be percieved, and what their true motives are, are two different things. A trojan horse virus on your computer works the EXACT same way. Now notice this statement from islam-qa.com discussed here (down near the bottom):

showing enmity towards the disbelievers) is one of the basic principles of Islam, and one of the most important duties of the believers.

Dont be fooled into thinking islam is a 'peaceful religion'. Read about Malaysia and especially the Pact of Umar.

Pact of Umar - islam

2006-05-01T11:09:00.000-07:00

Muslims always try to downplay the the 'Pact of Umar'. Read this from tafsir.com regarding it:

Do not initiate the Salam to the Jews and Christians, and if you meet any of them in a road, force them to its narrowest alley.) This is why the Leader of the faithful `Umar bin Al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, demanded his well-known conditions be met by the Christians, these conditions that ensured their continued humiliation, degradation and disgrace. (source)

http://www.annaqed.com/english/is/pact_of_umar.html -

http://www.annaqed.com/english.html

http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/source/pact-umar.html

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pact_of_Umar

http://www.christianitytoday.com/history/newsletter/2002/jul26.html

The pact of Umar is an agreement between the Christians of Syria (whom fell under the occupation of the Muslim invaders) and Umar Ibn Al-Khattab the second successor (khalifa) of Muhammad.

In this pact, Umar agreed to allow the Christians to keep practicing their faith with several conditions. Muslims claim that this pact shows how tolerant Islam was in dealing with non-Muslims in newly invaded territories.

Contrary to that claim, this pact was very humiliating to Christians, clearly showing how arrogant and oppressive the Muslims were in dealing with non-Muslims who fell under their rule. Although the pact was written to seem like the Christians themselves had drafted it, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that the terms were actually dictated on them!

Sadly, there are some naïve Christians who reiterate the Muslims' propaganda without ever bothering to read the details of the pact. In fact, some Christians are so stupid that they brag about it more than the Muslims do! A recently elected Christian Orthodox patriarch praised the pact in his speech during a reception held in his honor in Jordan!

The "Pact of Umar" reflects the general teaching of Islam concerning non-Muslims, and accordingly, millions of Christians continue to live as second class citizens in Islamic countries.

The following is a translation of the pact:

***************

The Status of Non-Muslims Under Muslim Rule We heard from 'Abdul-Rahman Ibn Ghanam [died in year 78 H. 697 AD.] as follows: When Umar Ibn Al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, accorded a peace to the Christians of Syria, we wrote to him as follows:

In the name of Allah, the Merciful and Compassionate. This is a letter to the servant of Allah Umar [ibn al-Khattab], Commander of the Faithful, from the Christians of such-and-such a city. When you came against us, we asked you for safe-conduct (aman) for ourselves, our descendants, our property, and the people of our community, and we undertook the following obligations toward you:

ARTICLES OF THE PACT OF UMAR
We Christians:
1 - We shall not build, in our cities or in their neighborhood, new monasteries,
2 - churches,
3 - convents,
4 - or monks' cells,
5 - nor shall we repair, by day or by night, such of them as fall in ruins
6 - or are situated in the quarters of the Muslims. . . .
7- We shall not give shelter in our churches or in our dwellings to any spy,
8 - nor hide him from the Muslims. We shall not teach the Quran to our children.
9 - We shall not manifest our religion publicly
10 - nor convert anyone to it.
11 - We shall not prevent any of our kin from entering Islam if they wish it.
12 - We shall show respect toward the Muslims, and
13 - we shall rise from our seats if they wish to sit.
14 - We shall not seek to resemble the Muslims by imitating any of their garments, the headgear, the turban, footwear, or the parting of the hair.
15 - We shall not speak as they do,
16 - nor shall we adopt their honorific names.
17 - We shall not mount on saddles,
18- nor shall we gird swords nor bear any kind of arms nor carry them on our persons.
19 - We shall not engrave Arabic inscriptions on our seals.
20 - We shall not sell fermented drinks. . . .
21 - We shall not display our crosses or our books in the roads or markets of the Muslims.
22 - We shall only use clappers in our churches very softly.
23 - We shall not raise our voices in our church services or in the presence of Muslims,
24 - nor shall we raise our voices when following our dead.
25 - We shall not show lights on any of the roads of the Muslims or in their markets.
26 - We shall not bury our dead near the Muslims.
27 - We shall not take slave who have been allotted to the Muslims.
28 - We shall not build houses over-topping the houses of the Muslims. . . .
(When I brought the letter to Umar, he added, "And we shall not strike a Muslim. We accept these conditions for ourselves and for the people of our community, and in return we receive safe-conduct.

If we in any way violate these undertakings for which we ourselves stand surety, we forfeit our covenant [dhimma], and we become liable to the penalties for contumacy and sedition.

Umar Ibn Al-Khittab replied: Sign what they ask, but add two clauses and impose them in addition to those which they have undertaken. They are: "They shall not buy anyone made prisoner by the Muslims," and "Whoever strikes a Muslim with deliberate intent shall forfeit the protection of this pact."

From Al-Turtushi's book, Siraj al-Muluk.

Islamic Twisted Logic

2006-03-22T20:17:00.000-08:00

Welcome back to my ongoing series of pointing out the twisted logic of islamic teachings and thought processes. In order to understand this post, one has to understand the islamic concept of bid'a. Since finding a defacto definition of bid'a is a total mind scramble, we'll go with the reference from the MSA at USC website which states the #1 duty and responsibility of the khalifa is:

Safeguard Islam in its original form, and to protect against the introduction of new things (bid'a) into Islam.

Bid'a basically means 'innovation' and is regarded as haraam (illegal, forbidden). Its like a constitution where amendments are not allowed. When bicycles first showed up on the black market in Saudi Arabia, they were declared haraam and fatwas were issued to prevent people from obtaining them. Its a well known fact that women cant drive a car in Saudi Arabia, but did you know it is also forbidden for them to ride a bicycle or jog? Believe it.
As you can imagine, this went on and on with everything else (cars, televisions, cameras, phones, satelite dishes, radio, etc.) and resistance to innovation permeates cultures influenced by islamic politics and teachings. But those are material goods... how do islamists react to concepts? Well...

Since I dont bother with lightweight fluff, lets dig into some serious human rights issues. In promoting islam; kidnapping, enslavement, murder, rape and seizing the possessions of whomever they decide is the 'enemy of allah' isnt regarded as immoral, sinful or barbaric. In fact these are teachings of islam and changing this would be bid'a.

I'll prove my points.

On the topic of rape:

You cant show me an islamic sharia law legal source where rape is considered an across the board illegal act. It doesnt exist. It doesnt exist in the quran therefor making such a declaration would be bid'a. The concept of 'rape is rape' doesnt exist in islam.

Marry a woman you own:

quran 4.3 - If ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, Marry women of your choice, Two or three or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or (a captive) that your right hands possess, that will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice.

Sex with a new captive or existing slave:

quran 4.24 confirms this with this statement: Also (forbidden for sex are) women already married, except those (captives and slaves) whom your right hands possess.

This is confirmed by the hadith which the header clearly states in ALL CAPS no less:
IT IS PERMISSIBLE TO HAVE SEXUAL INTERCOURSE WITH A CAPTIVE WOMAN AFTER SHE IS PURIFIED (OF MENSES OR DELIVERY) IN CASE SHE HAS A HUSBAND, HER MARRIAGE IS ABROGATED AFTER SHE BECOMES CAPTIVE source Chapter 29

Unmarried sex is permitted with slaves and captives of war (Quran 4:24) - (wikipedia -sharia)

Islamic Tafsir (explanation) of al-Jalalayn : source

And, forbidden to you are, wedded women, those with spouses, that you should marry them before they have left their spouses, be they Muslim free women or not; save what your right hands own, of captured [slave] girls, whom you may have sexual intercourse with, even if they should have spouses among the enemy camp, but only after they have been absolved of the possibility of pregnancy [after the completion of one menstrual cycle]; this is what God has prescribed for you (kitāba is in the accusative because it is the verbal noun).

and

Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs - source

(And all married women (are forbidden unto you save those (captives) whom your right hands possess) of captives, even if they have husbands in the Abode of War, after ascertaining that they are not pregnant, by waiting for the lapse of one period of menstruation.

Tafsir of Ibn Kathir: Forbidding Women Already Married, Except for Female Slaves source

Also (forbidden are) women already married, except those whom your right hands possess.) The Ayah means, you are prohibited from marrying women who are already married,
(except those whom your right hands possess) except those whom you acquire through war, for you are allowed such women after making sure they are not pregnant. Imam Ahmad recorded that Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri said, "We captured some women from the area of Awtas who were already married, and we disliked having sexual relations with them because they already had husbands. So, we asked the Prophet about this matter, and this Ayah was revealed, e
(Also (forbidden are) women already married, except those whom your right hands possess). Consequently, we had sexual relations with these women.''
~~~
The alleged prophet of islam (muhammad) participates in this very activity. Read about it here

Notice the statement 'we disliked' above. The consent of the women is never an issue. That's because the women were mere possessions. Spoils of war. Big deal. The worst of creatures (98.6). Even the consent of muslim women isnt an issue discussed here (note the examination of quran 65.4). Muhammad understood that raping the women in the presence of their husbands was a terrific terror tactic. So he had no problem with condoning it. Islamic twisted logic.

Muslims often try to hide what 'right hands possess' means. See it clearly referenced again as 'slaves' here # 4458 and specifically lady slaves here #321. Note how many sites about islam will sugarcoat and downplay this by saying 'what you already have', knowing full well that gullible people will just gloss right over it. Its amazing how HUMAN BEINGS can be referred to as 'what you already have'. Its also interesting to note that in Islam, adultry and fornication can be casually overlooked if the women being raped are simply defined as 'captives'. Remember bid'a. Slavery and rape are alive and well in islam and no one on the planet can prove me wrong. (verses to look at are: 4:3 - 4:24 - 23:6 - 70:30 - 33.52 - 33:55 - ) Anyone is welcome to try to prove me wrong though. All they will do is prove contradiction, and quran 4:82 states: Were it from any other than God, they would surely have found in it many contradictions. TRAPPED. CHECK MATE. Rape and slavery are alive and well in islam, or the quran is not from 'God'. Take your pick. I choose both.

quran 5.44 (in part) states - Whoso judgeth not by that which Allah hath revealed: such are disbelievers.

There it is. The verse that makes islamic dominated societys stand still and reject innovation, bicycles and concepts. Nowhere in the quran is the thievery, rape and enslavement of the fabricated 'enemies of allah' condemned. Muhammad wasnt about to condemn the very fuel that runs the machine ( in 8.41 - note the words: whatever, all, any, anything) Islamic twisted logic.

Dictionary.com defines rape as:
The crime of forcing another person to submit to sex acts, especially sexual intercourse.

There you have it. Conditional rape. Is rape rape? Or is there a time and a place for it?

If you believe that there is never a time or place for forced unconsentual criminal sexual penetration (rape), then you have a problem with the teachings of islam.

Now apply this same concept to slavery, murder, kidnapping, theft, lying, human trafficking, terrorism, vandalism, etc.

Whether you want to admit it to yourself or not, whether they will admit it to you or not.... this is what muslims believe.

Many people have been trying to warn the western world about this for years, but people have been content to believe that islam is a 'religion of peace' and be done with it. When they become aware of acts ot terrorism or criminal behaviour committed in the name of islam, they are content to believe its a rogue element who are 'misinterpreting' or 'hijacking' the 'religion'.

Something many people dont understand about islam is based on their own perception AND misperception of what a 'religion' is. They make the elementary mistake of comparing apples to oranges. Islam is a totalitarian theocratic belief system. This means that there is no seperation of religious doctrines and government (aka; church and state). To be practiced as it was designed, believers in islam are commanded to spread this totalitarian theocratic belief system throughtout the world with dogmatic reward (heaven/paradise) as the goal if they do, and dogmatic threat (hell / lesser status) as the penalty if they dont, AND ALSO material and human spoils here on earth. They are commanded to maintain islam in its original 7th century (610+ AD) form as covered above.

When they are low in population, they act one way, and when they feel they have sufficient population, they act quite another. They propogate by immigrating and forcing the host citizens to act in a way that is against their nature. They band togethor and slowly turn parts of town into 'no go' areas for non-muslims (muslims in malmo sweden watch the videos. (1 - 2 - 3 -). Then slowly start to impose their own rules (using the twisted logic concepts we covered above) until the previous inhabitants of the land can no longer deal with it and leave. The islamists will claim 'islamophobia' and 'demonization' at any attempts to publicize or resist it. Politically correct politicians, law enforcement and the media will sell you out before they ruffle the feathers of the muslims. That's going to stop.

The islamists are helped by those who still erroneously believe islam is a 'religion' and that 'islam means peace' (wrong on both counts ref:1) and claim those who resist the islamists are persecuters, haters, racists etc. ( If you have school aged children, I would recommend to keep an eye on their curriculum and textbooks to see how islam is sugarcoated. You just need to know what to look for first.)

Islamic history has been 1400 years of what we've covered above. The suras and ayats (chapters and verses) from the quran, along with history of islamic conquest and hadith, make the theocratic imperialism tactics of islam quite clear.

For example:

Whats their plan?

quran 9:33 - He it is Who hath sent His messenger with the guidance and the Religion of Truth, that He may cause it to prevail over all religion, however much the idolaters may be averse.

---"however much the idolaters may be averse": Anytime you hear ANYONE quote "no compulsion in religion", your islamic propoganda meter should go off the scale. This is muslims blatant attempt to take advantage of gullibility.---

They start by using divisive terms for non-muslims such as polytheists, pagans, disbelievers, kafirs, najis, blasphemers, idolators, etc and fabricate them as 'enemies of allah'. Then they lump them all togethor and declare them the 'worst of creatures (quran 98.06) and not to befriend them and alot of other nasty stuff . 'People of the book' is a ploy to entice Christians and Jews into converting to islam by creating the illusion that the quran is the sequel to the previous scriptures (bible, torah). Another ploy is to claim that the most symbolic event in chrisitianity (crucifixion) never happened. And that jesus christ himself will stab all christians in the back (testify against them) on judgement day unless they convert to islam (quran 4.157-162), AND adopt most of the pre-islamic rituals and traditions of worship practiced by the Arabian tribes of Mecca (Makkah) (specifically Muhammad's tribe, the Quraysh) in order to recieve 'great reward'. The cheif deity at this time was the 'moon god', and the symbol of islam is the crescent moon. Crescent moon symbols adorn mosques throughout the world, although they are actively trying to disassociate themselves from this for OBVIOUS reasons. Islam is based entirely on the premise/deception that the allah of the quran is the same entity as the god of the bible. Identity theft.

Infidel is a recent term that they basically use to call anyone who disagrees with their politics or isnt 'muslim' enough. Then...
---
quran 8.39 - And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism: i.e. worshipping others besides Allah) and the religion (worship) will all be for Allah Alone [in the whole of the world^]. But if they cease (worshipping others besides Allah), then certainly, Allah is All-Seer of what they do.
---
In case your not hip to 7th century arabic religious lingo, the above english translation is pretty accurate. Whats going on in this verse is the command for islamists to conquer the planet, and eradicate the world of non-muslims in body, mind, soul and influence (fitnah). Very clear. Definately note that in many english translations they refer to fitnah as 'tumult and oppression'. In islamic twisted logic this means that the existence of and influence from non-muslims is 'tumult and oppression'. The word translated as 'fight' definately doesnt mean just 'fight'. It means fight to the death. Kill and be killed. This verse does not apply to a specific event, place or time. Anyone who tells you this verse means anything else is lying. Remember that a prime motive of the muslims is to keep the non-muslims as confused, soft targets.

---
quran 8.67: No prophet hath been enabled to take captives until he had made great slaughter in the earth. Ye desire the passing fruitions of this world, but God desireth the next life for you. And God is Mighty, Wise.

---Allah's Messenger said: I have been commanded to fight against people till they testify that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, perform the Prayer, and pay Zakah. If they do that, their blood and property are guaranteed protection on my behalf except when justified by law, and their affairs rest with Allah.--- source

Below is a direct quote from understanding-islam.com concerning verse 9.29 in the quran. Note that 'call of the messenger' means 'convert to islam', and 'life of its members can be spared' means they'll kill you, UNLESS you pay the dhimmi extortion tax (jizya) and acknowledge your second class citizen status (accept political subservience). This is a sharp contrast to the often parrotted line of 'no compulsion in religion'. Remember that next time someone wants to portray islam as a 'spiritual philosophy', or a 'religion'. Islamic twisted logic.

Quote:---On the other hand, if a non-polytheist group refuses to accept the call of a messenger, the life of its members can be spared if they accept political subservience and, as a symbol for such political subservience, pay Jizyah.

Volume 4, Book 53, Number 388:
Narrated Juwairiya bin Qudama At-Tamimi:
We said to 'Umar bin Al-Khattab, Jo Chief of the believers! Advise us." He said, "I advise you to fulfill Allah's Convention (made with the Dhimmis) as it is the convention of your Prophet and the source of the livelihood of your dependents (i.e. the taxes from the Dhimmis.) "

And they had you believing islam is a tolerant 'religion'. And all of our politicians and leaders are asleep at the wheel. Organizations like CAIR try to paint a happy face on islam to non-muslims, but the motives of islam are to subjugate non-muslims sooner or later. Read on and you'll see how the muslims do it.

Islamists throw around phrases like 'great satan' and 'evil foreign policy', they burn flags, and people (you know who they are) run with that. The media runs with that. Islamists flip out over cartoons. They hold posters that incite other islamists to behead, annihilate and massacre. Then when they are arrested for inciting violence they claim "islamophobia'. Islamists quote the abrogated (canceled out) portion of the quranic verse which states: "there is no compulsion in religion"... regardless of verse 8.39, and that the penalty for leaving islam is death (example) . The 'moderate' muslims perform their function by being 'moderate' (it's all part of the 'good cop bad cop' routine). People erroneously feel guilty as if their governments have done something wrong... that they've offended 'religious sensibilities'. Non-muslims are chasing their tails like dogs trying to figure it all out. Sound familiar? Islamic twisted logic.... complete deception... smokescreens... and lies. 1400 years of islamic business as usual.

Wow. So whats in it for them?
---
quran 8.41 (2 verses later) And know that whatever you take as spoils in war, a fifth thereof is for ALLAH and for the Messenger and the kindred and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer, if you believe in ALLAH and what WE sent down to Our servant on the Day of Distinction, - the day when the two armies met - and ALLAH has power to do all that HE wills.
---
Same deal as above, pretty accurate translation. This verse explains how the warlord muhammad manages to get followers to raid, kill and steal the possessions of (including women) the previously fabricated 'enemies of allah' who in islamic twisted logic are guilty of 'fitnah' by simply existing and/or resisting. Keep 80%, give 'allah' (muhammad) 20% and he mentions himself again for good measure and buys converts with the remainder of the stolen merchandise.
Did you do the math?

a fifth = 20%
whats left over?
ummm 80%
yes. nice cut huh?
unreal.
definately... material reward for the followers. The 20% cut made the warlord muhammad wealthy through conquests (#495). Muhammad reiterates the incentive plan in 48.19 - 20.

Where are the virgins?
We're getting to that. First you have to realize that to islamists, this world is nothing. Its all about the payoff of heaven/paradise (janna) and where they will rank in it:
---
quran 9.38 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. 9.39 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 God hath power over all things.
---
and
---
quran 4.95 - Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) and receive no hurt, and those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their goods and their persons. Allah hath granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with their goods and persons than to those who sit (at home). Unto all (in Faith) Hath Allah promised good: But those who strive and fight Hath He distinguished above those who sit (at home) by a special reward,- 4.96 : Ranks specially bestowed by Him, and Forgiveness and Mercy. For Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
---
According to islamic beliefs, all muslims who qualify to go to paradise must pass through hell first EXCEPT one group: Martyrs and killers. Slay and be slain. This is regarded as the 'achievement supreme'. The supreme rank in paradise is to be a martyr and they will bypass hell. Lets see Oprah or Barbera Walters talk about this. The US media thinks its OBSESSION with tabloid journalism is actually important. This will come back to haunt your children and grand children. Veterans are turning over in their graves from the sheer complacency.
---
quran 9.111 - God hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise: they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in truth, through the Law, the Gospel, and the Qur'an: and who is more faithful to his covenant than God? then rejoice in the bargain which ye have concluded: that is the achievement supreme.
---
quran 4.74 - Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, on him We shall bestow a vast reward.

quran 3.169 - Think not of those, who are slain in the way of Allah, as dead. Nay, they are living. With their Lord they have provision.

quran 3.170 - They rejoice in the bounty provided by God: And with regard to those left behind, who have not yet joined them (in their bliss), the (Martyrs) glory in the fact that on them is no fear, nor have they (cause to) grieve.

Hadith supports this:
---
If anyone fights in Allah's path as long as the time between two milkings of a she-camel, Paradise will be assured for him. If anyone sincerely asks Allah for being killed and then dies or is killed, there will be a reward of a martyr for him. source #2535

Volume 4, Book 53, Number 352:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "Allah guarantees him who strives in His Cause and whose motivation for going out is nothing but Jihad in His Cause and belief in His Word, that He will admit him into Paradise (if martyred) or bring him back to his dwelling place, whence he has come out, with what he gains of reward and booty."
---

Volume 4, Book 53, Number 382:
Narrated Ibn Umar:
In our holy battles, we used to get honey and grapes, as war booty which we would eat and would not store.
---

Invading and stealing resources is what that is. Of course the woman in the picture (yes it's been photoshopped to demonstrate the point) would be a bloody pulp under a pile of stones for making such a statement in an islamic country. The hypocrites.

Article 8 of the hamas charter:
Allah is its target, the Prophet is its model, the Koran its constitution: Jihad is its path and death for the sake of Allah is the loftiest of its wishes. source here
---
What is 'fighting in the cause of allah' that they believe justifies all this?
Well... islamists and their defenders would like you to believe that it is defensive and because of oppression, discrimination and 'evil foreign policy' and all that, but thats a lie. The real goal is an islamic world. An islamic 'new world order' (NWO). Of course islamists and their defenders will deny and downplay this but the hadith makes it quite clear with this statement:
---
" The Prophet raised his head (as the questioner was standing) and said, "He who fights so that Allah's Word (Islam) should be superior, then he fights in Allah's cause." source
---
The islamists and their defenders have the western world so completely fooled its unreal. In the process of 'fighting (kill and be killed) so allahs word (islam) should be superior', the twisted logic concepts of 'divine justification' of rape, kidnapping, murder, enslavement, theft, human trafficking, terror and whatever else they come up with is necessary to drive out the fitnah (non-muslims and their influence) from the land. It is considered a 'fundamental' that the alleged 'prophet' of islam (muhammad) claimed that terror was how he was 'made victorious':
---
I have been made victorious with terror source #220
---
In the course of 'fighting so that islam should be superior', terror is what made muhammad victorious and he commands all muslims to follow his lead (33.21). The muslims and their defenders dont want you knowing this stuff. This is straight from their playbooks. This is what is being taught in mosques worldwide and near you or coming soon near you. They will deny it, change the subject, answer questions with questions, bring up conspiracy theories, want you to compare apples to oranges, anything to downplay this stuff and divert attention from it. Their tactics are based on you not knowing this stuff. They want to keep the attention focused on evil foreign policy, great satan and all that and portray themselves as victims at all cost and deceptively portray muhammad as a great 'noble' example. Exposing the true muhammad would expose the true motives of islam so they pretend to be all offended at cartoons and such to support this illusion. Public Broadcasting (PBS) in the US (among others) produces documentaries to promote the illusion of muhammad being a hero and a great man. Islamic websites and college professors (!) tell blatant lies and quote abrogated (canceled out) verses from the quran to further promote the cause. Lies. Deception. Taqiyya.

Is quran 61.10-12 cutting a deal with the devil or just a madman? The incessant promise of material reward in paradise. Material reward for conquest. Terrorism. All the references to slay and be slain. Spoils of war. 80%. Virgins. Rivers of wine. No compulsion in religion. Death for apostasy. Smite their necks. Beautiful mansions. Boys that never bleed. Martyrdom. Let them find in you a harshness (9.123 'gird you about' is a lie) Forgiveness of sins. Supreme achievement. Satanic verses. Worst of creatures (98.06) Islamic NWO (8.39). Create division, do not befriend them (5.51 5.82 4.144 3.118) Highly suspicious. Serious illusion, serious deception going on in the quran.

Take it as you will, I'm not selling anything, but these verses from the bible provide something very intriguing:

Mat 7:15 - Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Mat 7:16 - Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

Read and evaluate. Its very clear that islam and muslims present themselves as one thing and yet their 'fruits' are quite another. The biggest mistake a non-muslim can make is to think that only a muslim can tell you about islam. The so-called 'moderates' protect the fundamentalists as the shell protects the yolk. But at the end of the day, they are the same egg.

Here is an example of the typical whitewashing of islam:

Visit about.com's religion section on islam and for examples sake, this page in particular titled

Q. What does the Qur'an say about Christians?

source http://islam.about.com/cs/jesus/f/christians.htm

Notice how on that page there is no mention of:

quran 5.51 - O ye who believe! take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors: They are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily Allah guideth not a people unjust.

quran 5.14 - From those, too, who call themselves Christians, We did take a covenant, but they forgot a good part of the message that was sent them: so we estranged them, with enmity and hatred between the one and the other, to the day of judgment. And soon will Allah show them what it is they have done. (Yet notice how islamists will claim they are being 'stereotyped', 'demonized', that they are victims of 'islamophobia', and that a false image of them is being fabricated by the 'media'. Islamic Twisted Logic)

You can easily find outright lies in islamic websites and publications. You just have to know their tricks, and understand that in islamic twisted logic, any means is acceptable to achieve the goal. Spin doctoring,outright lying and withholding key information is a prime tactic. This is based on the notion that 'who would know islam better than a muslim'? Muslims exploit this. A muslim may tell you something like "Its against islam to kill an innocent person". Sounds reasonable enough right? But what they dont tell you is that a non-muslim isnt considered innocent. They are always very careful to use the word 'innocent'. See this demonstrated in this video here.

no Muslim should be killed in Qisas (equality in punishment) for killing a Kafir (disbeliever)." source #50

In islam, non-muslims are considered 'kafirs' (kuffar, kufr). Their are several different spellings, but they mean the same thing conceptually. Kafir is generally a noun and refers to a non-muslim person (That guy is a kafir), and kufr is generally used in the verb form to denote disbelief (eating pork is kufr). Kufr is a main ingredient in deciding who the 'enemies of allah' are. Next you need to understand what 'najis' means. Najis means filthy, untoucheable, impure (in mind and body if applicable). Other things in islam that are considered najis are excrement, rotting flesh, urine and several other unflattering things. You guessed it, non-muslims are considered kafirs and najis thus 'without sanctity' and thus not innocent. But unless its been presented to you with all of this information, you would go around thinking 'Its against islam to kill an innocent person', and worse, end up passing that deception to someone else, like a computer trojan horse virus but for the human brain. Islamists have been doing this for 1400 years and people have been falling for it. Things in islam definately arent always what they seem to be. And yet sometimes they are exactly as they seem. The real islam is exposed more and more everyday.

That she heard Allah's Apostle saying, "He who makes peace between the people by inventing good information or saying good things, is not a liar." source #857

Here is a perfect example. Read the text quote below * . In Islamic twisted logic, the word abolished doesnt really mean abolished. Scroll back up a little ways to where i said 'any means is acceptable'. I'll prove it again here. The text below is a website that bills itself as the 'supreme council for islamic affairs'. Sounds reputable huh? fancy website even. They are banking on making a statement that makes islam sound like the 'peacemakers' and 'noble'. "We abolished slavery! Hooray!" But read closer. The first point I made was about rape. I said I would prove conditional rape and I did. Here we have conditional slavery straight from the 'supreme council of islamic affairs'. Remember the law of bid'a (innovation is illegal). Remember that 'fighting in allahs cause' is so islam should be superior (source). Remember that terror is what made muhammad 'victorious' and he was 'wealthy through conquests', and manufacturing or concealing evidence is not lying. Islamic twisted logic.

Quote * : Slavery was abolished by Islam and no one had to be subjugated by anyone else except in only one case, when fighters were taken prisoners. By this Islam wanted only to discontinue and limit aggression. source (add a w to the beginning when you paste it into your browser. I wont even link to this filth: ww.islamic-council.com/prophetstories_u/Chapter1-2.asp

(Notice how the 'supreme council of islamic affairs' desperately wants to use the word 'abolished'. This is simply because they want to use the word 'abolished'. It has no meaning... they just want that word to appear.) Remember that the quran declares the permissibility of raping captives / slaves, the hadith confirms it in detail, and the 'supreme council of islamic affairs' and 'islam-qa.com' (below) also confirms the islamic twisted logic.

This is from Islam Q&A: islam-qa.com #5707 (below *) Note how casually slavery, kidnapping, human trafficking, racism and rape are discussed. Also note how the word 'urges' is used because they KNOW that islam never abolished slavery, in fact the argument that it is even encouraged or 'urged' is WEAK. Islamic twisted logic. Also note how the in the 'answer' below, it says "if there is jihaad"... We've already established that fighting is to make islam superior. And this definately refers to Jihaad as war. Arent islamists always trying to sell that jihaad means 'inner struggle'? Mein Kampf means 'My Struggle'. Welcome to islam folks. Coming soon to your area or already there. Dont forget quran 9.123! O ye who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are near to you, and let them find harshness in you

(Quote from al-islam.com question #5707 below)

*Question :
I've heard that it is allowed for men to have intercourse with their slaves. Does that stand for women too, & if men can have intercourse with their slaves (the ones they have bought) then why is it so much ill thought of the prostitutes...they too are, kind of bought at others will, for shorter time period perhaps. Can you make all this clear & why is it so that Islam did not stop slavery....they are humans as well, & are against their will kept in captivity & against their will may be forced into intercourse?

Answer :
Praise be to Allaah.
Slavery in Islam was originally prescribed because of Kufr. If there is jihaad between the Muslims and the kuffaar, and a number of kuffaar are taken prisoner, the commander is given the choice of sharing them out, doing them a favour (by releasing them) or paying their ransom. If they are shared out as part of the booty, they become slaves, subject to the laws governing products which may be sold. But at the same time, Islam urges the freeing of slaves and makes doing so an act of expiation for numerous sins. In principle, slavery is not something that is desirable; what is encouraged in Islam is the freeing of slaves. If a woman is enslaved according to sharee’ah, it is permissible for her master to have intercourse with her. This is unlike prostitution or zinaa, which Islam has forbidden as a precaution against mixing lineages and other reasons for which it is forbidden. There is no comparison between the two, because if a slave woman becomes pregnant, the child belongs to the master and she becomes free when he dies, because she has become the mother of the master’s child (umm walad), and is subject to the same rulings as a wife. And Allaah knows best.

Book 11, Number 2126:
Narrated Basrah:
A man from the Ansar called Basrah said: I married a virgin woman in her veil. When I entered upon her, I found her pregnant. (I mentioned this to the Prophet). The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: She will get the dower, for you made her vagina lawful for you. The child will be your slave. When she has begotten (a child), flog her (according to the version of al-Hasan). The version of Ibn AbusSari has: You people, flog her, or said: inflict hard punishment on him.

Afghan Faces Death Penalty

2006-03-21T19:55:00.000-08:00

This story has played out countless times over 1400 years with no media around to report it. The difference is that they would have just killed him. Done. Muslims love to quote the misleading and abrogated verse from the quran that states in part "there is no compulsion in religion'. This is a pure lie. Why do they tell this lie? Because they want you to believe it! But like most anything else a 'follower of islamism' SAYS, the actions are quite different. Doesnt the death penalty imply 'compulsion in religion'?

quran 003.083 Do they seek for other than the Religion of God?-while all creatures in the heavens and on earth have, willing or unwilling, bowed to His Will (Accepted Islam), and to Him shall they all be brought back.

No compulsion? Liars! RESIST! Islam is trying to take over the world! Spread the word!

KABUL, Afghanistan, March 20, 2006 — Despite the overthrow of the fundamentalist Taliban government and the presence of 22,500 U.S. troops in Afghanistan, a man who converted to Christianity is being prosecuted in Kabul, and a judge said Sunday that if convicted, he faces the death penalty.
Abdul Rahman, who is in his 40s, says he converted to Christianity 16 years ago while working as an aid worker helping Afghan refugees in Pakistan.
Relatives denounced him as a convert during a custody battle over his children, and he was arrested last month. The prosecutor says Rahman was found with a Bible.
Human rights workers have described the case as an unsettling reminder that the country's post-Taliban judiciary remains deeply conservative, and they have called on President Hamid Karzai to intervene. During Taliban times, men were forced to kneel in prayer five times a day, and couples faced the death penalty for sex outside marriage, for example. Reform efforts have been slow, say experts, since there are so few judges and lawyers with experience.
The U.S. State Department is watching the case closely and considers it a barometer of how well democracy is developing in Afghanistan.
"Our view … is that tolerance, freedom of worship is an important element of any democracy," State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said. "And these are issues as Afghan democracy matures that they are going to have to deal with increasingly."
A number of Christian nonprofit groups do humanitarian work in Afghanistan. Dominic Nutt of Christian Aid calls the Rahman case a step backward for the country, especially if Rahman is executed.
Nutt, who has spent time in Afghanistan, tells ABC News "few practitioners are used to the concept of democracy and toleration … [many] are educated only in Islamic law."
Presiding judge Ansarullah Mawlazezadah tells ABC News a medical team was checking the defendant, since the team suspects insanity caused Rahman to reject Islam.
"We want to know that the doctors have given him a green light on his mental state, because he is not normal when he talks," says the judge.

Yemen editor 'faces death calls' source

Yemeni lawyers have called for a newspaper editor to be sentenced to death for showing cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad, his paper says.
Muhammad al-Asadi was arrested after his publication, the Yemen Observer, showed the Danish cartoons in February.

Asadi denies the charge of offending IslamYemeni lawyers have called for a newspaper editor to be sentenced to death for showing cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad, his paper says.
Muhammad al-Asadi was arrested after his publication, the Yemen Observer, showed the Danish cartoons in February.
He denies the charges of offending Islam, under which he is being tried. The English-language newspaper has had its licence to publish suspended, although its staff have continued to produce material online.
Lawyers leading a civil case against publishers of the cartoons - in addition to the public case - cited precedents from Muslim history when the prophet was insulted by a woman and then praised her killer.
Prosecutors have reportedly requested that the Yemen Observer be closed permanently and have its property and assets confiscated.
The trial was adjourned until 22 March.

~~~~~~~~~~
CultFree's note:Here is the hadith used as the basis of the lawyers, state and cleric's demanding the death penalty. Note how muhammad condones and dismisses the murder of a pregnant slave woman who was critical of him, and that she was already the mother of two children of the murderer. This once again illustrates the primitive (not to mention misogynist) basis of political islam and sharia law. Hadith is #4348

Taqiyya From Juan Cole

People have every right to be concerned about the growing threat of islamism in the world. Yet hardcore partisan liberal and so-called 'expert' on the issue, Mr. Juan Cole, wants to create the smokescreen that its somehow a fabrication of the 'political elite' and the 'media' and 'select special interests'. He'd have a point if he were referring to the 'political elite' in Iran and Saudi Arabia, the 'media' such as Al-Jazeera, and the 'select special interests' such as CAIR and muslims themselves.

quote from the Washingtom Post article titled: Negative perceptions of Islam increasing
~~~
Juan Cole, a professor of modern Middle Eastern and South Asian history at the University of Michigan, agreed, saying Americans "have been given the message to respond this way by the American political elite, mass media and by select special interests."
~~~

Obviously, Juan Cole is still playing on the ridiculous notion that only he is the great provider of islamic knowledge and history to the western world. What was Bali, Beslan, Madrid, London, 911, WTC bombings, Theo Van Goghs murder, the blatant advocation of violence in the cartoon stupidity, the OU football game explosion, the UNC muslim claiming religious reasons for running over multiple people etc etc etc.

Media?

Quran 9.5 - But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practise regular charity, then open the way for them: for God is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.

Juan Cole would never be the one to bring it to your attention that in the process of 'seizing and beleaguering', muslims are 'divinely' allowed to keep 80% of stolen merchandise / slave women (they justify it as 'war booty'), as long as they provide muhammad and his family with 20%. Muhammad can then use a portion of the 20% to 'pander to the constituency'. That means 'give them stuff'. They will like you if you 'give them stuff'. A combination of Hitler, Robin Hood and Ali Baba. Grease those palms. Stolen Merchandise. Human trafficking. Dirty politics. Read quran 8.039 - 8.041.

Quran 8.039 establishes the outlawing of other political entities, by making everyone else guilty of practicing 'tumult and oppression' under the false pretense of somehow being 'enemies of 'god'. (Note the words 'altogethor and everywhere', this is your basic spread by the sword imperialism that Juan Cole and muslims worldwide would like you to believe they are the victims of). That fabricated / created an enemy which would become fertile fields in which to cultivate the spoils to finance, feed and provide the comforts of home to the bandits outlined in 8.041 (war spoils, keep 80%, one fifth = 20%). I say 'comforts of home' because of this statement from authentic (sahih) hadith: and took captive some excellent Arab women; and we desired them, for we were suffering from the absence of our wives.
Yes indeed read it for yourself as outlined in my post here. I discuss 8.39-8.41 here

Quran 9.123 - O believers, fight the unbelievers who are near to you; and let them find in you a harshness

Media?

Qur’an tells to kill unbelievers in these surahs, read carefully. 9:5- 2:191-2-193-3:118-4:75,76-5:84-4:104-5:33-5:51-5:57-5:80.81-8:12-8:13-8:14-8:50-8:65-9:23-9:38.39-9:42-9:49-9:73-9:123-21:109-21:52-27:69.60-31:21-33:60.61

Media?

Juan Cole! Do you think we're stupid? Your taqiyya act is so worn out. Juan Cole and CAIR perform the same function for political/militant islam as the nuclear membrane for the nucleus:

Nuclear membrane: surround and protect the nucleus; control the movement of materials into and out of the nucleus; gate of the nucleus.

Lets look at what Juan Cole is defending. Lets use the Muslim Student Association website from the University of Southern California as our source of reference.

1) There is no seperation of religion and state in islam.

QUOTE: We avoid the word religion because in many non-Islamic societies, there is a separation of "religion and state." This separation is not recognized at all in Islam. source
Think about this. When political islam is scrutinized, it suddenly becomes a religion, and screams religious discrimination, religious persecution. This is their clever way of being 'above scrutiny', and utilizing / hiding behind the very religious freedom laws they ultimately wish to eradicate. Same story for freedom of speech.

2) The word 'Islam' does not mean 'peace' in any way shape or form.

QUOTE: It might seem strange to think of this as a misconception, but in fact it is. The root word of Islam is "al-silm" which means "submission" or "surrender." It is understood to mean "submission to Allah." In spite of whatever noble intention has caused many a Muslim to claim that Islam is derived primarily from peace, this is not true. source under heading 'misconception 1'.

Seeds of dhimmitude.

Is this a glimpse into a Juan Cole classroom?

Muslims want to take the world back to the 7th century.

Under the heading of 'Duties and Responsibilities of the Khalifa' we have this:

QUOTE: Safeguard Islam in its original form, and to protect against the introduction of new things (bid'a) into Islam. source

'Nuff said.

Fitna Fitnatun Quran Hadith

2006-03-08T18:46:00.000-08:00

This post is to expose the deceptive way that the word 'fitnatun' is translated and presented by muslims.

This explanation will also shed light on why muslims kill and harass apostates.

Muslims like to say that fitna means 'persecution'. But does it really mean that? Its clear that fitna refers to anything percieved to be un-islamic. Lets read quran 8.39 and then examine the tafsir (explanation of the quran to understand it's context) of Ibn Kathir:

quran 8.39 (in part) - And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism: i.e. worshipping others besides Allah) and the religion (worship) will all be for Allah Alone [in the whole of the world].

~~~

Notice how the title below says "The Order to fight to eradicate Shirk and Kufr". Further down the page, kufr is defined as disbelief. Eradicate disbelief. And it says those who disbelieve have their blood and wealth in danger. Pay special attention to the statement "if and when". And the motive for all this is clealry defined in quran 8.41, with muhammads declaration of how he and islam at large will profit from this. The profits / spoils gained by this violent totalitarian zealotry include females, even little girls. The 20% muhammad keeps for himself and the other 80% is an incentive plan to get people to fight for him. The stated objective of the fighting is to make islam superior. Spread by the sword. The reference to Zakah shows how the plan was to squeeze money from everyone... one way or another. Muhammad and company shrouded pure evil in a plethora of false piety and false righteousness to make all this seem justified.

Tafsir of Ibn Kathir:

The Order to fight to eradicate Shirk and Kufr (source)
Allah said,

(And fight them until there is no more Fitnah, and the religion will all be for Allah alone.)
Al-Bukhari recorded that a man came to Ibn `Umar and said to him, "O Abu `Abdur-Rahman! Why do you not implement what Allah said in His Book,

(And if two parties (or groups) among the believers fall to fighting...)[49:9]. What prevents you from fighting as Allah mentioned in His Book'' Ibn `Umar said, "O my nephew! I prefer that I be reminded with this Ayah rather than fighting, for in the latter case, I will be reminded by the Ayah in which Allah, the Exalted and Most Honored, said,

(And whoever kills a believer intentionally...) [4:93]''
The man said, "Allah, the Exalted, said,

(And fight them until there is no more Fitnah...).'' Ibn `Umar said, "We did that during the time of the Messenger of Allah, when Islam was weak and the man would be tried in religion, either tormented to death or being imprisoned. When Islam became stronger and widespread, there was no more Fitnah.'' When the man realized that Ibn `Umar would not agree to what he is saying, he asked him, "What do you say about `Ali and `Uthman'' Ibn `Umar replied, "What do I say about `Ali and `Uthman! As for `Uthman, Allah has forgiven him, but you hate that Allah forgives him. As for `Ali, he is the cousin of the Messenger of Allah and his son-in-law,'' and he pointed with his hand saying, "And this is his house over there.'' Sa`id bin Jubayr said, "Ibn `Umar came to us and was asked, "What do you say about fighting during Fitnah'' Ibn `Umar said, "Do you know what Fitnah refers to Muhammad was fighting against the idolators, and at that time, attending (or residing with) the idolators was a Fitnah (trial in religion). It is nothing like what you are doing, fighting to gain leadership!'' All these narrations were collected by Al-Bukhari, may Allah the Exalted grant him His mercy. Ad-Dahhak reported that Ibn `Abbas said about the Ayah,

(And fight them until there is no more Fitnah...) "So that there is no more Shirk.'' Similar was said by Abu Al-`Aliyah, Mujahid, Al-Hasan, Qatadah, Ar-Rabi` bin Anas, As-Suddi, Muqatil bin Hayyan and Zayd bin Aslam. Muhammad bin Ishaq said that he was informed from Az-Zuhri, from `Urwah bin Az-Zubayr and other scholars that

(until there is no more Fitnah) the Fitnah mentioned here means, until no Muslim is persecuted so that he abandons his religion. Ad-Dahhak reported that Ibn `Abbas said about Allah's statement,

(and the religion (worship) will all be for Allah alone.) "So that Tawhid is practiced in sincerity with Allah.'' Al-Hasan, Qatadah and Ibn Jurayj said,

(and the religion will all be for Allah alone) "So that La ilaha illa-llah is proclaimed.'' Muhammad bin Ishaq also commented on this Ayah, "So that Tawhid is practiced in sincerity towards Allah, without Shirk, all the while shunning all rivals who (are being worshipped) besides Him.''
`Abdur-Rahman bin Zayd bin Aslam said about,

(and the religion will all be for Allah alone) "So that there is no more Kufr (disbelief) with your religion remains.'' There is a Hadith collected in the Two Sahihs that testifies to this explanation. The Messenger of Allah said,

(I was commanded to fight against the people until they proclaim, `There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah.' IF AND WHEN they say it, they will preserve their BLOOD AND WEALTH from me, except for its right (Islamic penal code), and their reckoning is with Allah, the Exalted and Most Honored.)
Also, in the Two Sahihs, it is recorded that Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari said, "The Messenger of Allah was asked about a man who fights because he is courageous, in prejudice with his people, or to show off. Which of these is for the cause of Allah He said,

(Whoever fights so that Allah's Word is the supreme, is in the cause of Allah, the Exalted and Most Honored.)''
Allah said next,

(But if they cease), and desist from their Kufr as a result of your fighting them, even though you do not know the true reasons why they did so,

(then certainly, Allah is All-Seer of what they do.)
Allah said in similar Ayah,
(But if they repent and perform the Salah, and give Zakah, then leave their way free.) [9:5],

(...then they are your brethren in religion.) [9:11], and,
(And fight them until there is no more Fitnah and the religion (worship) is for Allah (alone). But if they cease, let there be no transgression except against the wrongdoers.) [2:193]
It is recorded in the Sahih that the Messenger of Allah said to Usamah bin Zayd when he overpowered a man with his sword, after that man proclaimed that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah;

(Have you killed him after he proclaimed, `La Ilaha Illallah' What would you do with regard to `La Ilaha Illallah' on the Day of Resurrection.)
Usamah said, "O Allah's Messenger! He only said it to save himself.'' The Messenger replied,

(Did you cut his heart open)
The Messenger kept repeating,

(What would you do with regard to `La Ilaha Illallah' on the Day of Resurrection) until Usamah said, "I wished I had embraced Islam only that day.'' Allah said next,

(And if they turn away, then know that Allah is your protector, an excellent protector, and an excellent helper!)
Allah says, if the disbelievers persist in defying and fighting you, then know that Allah is your protector, master and supporter against your enemies. Verily, what an excellent protector and what an excellent supporter.

(41. And know that whatever of war booty that you may gain, verily, one-fifth of it is assigned to Allah, and to the Messenger, and to the near relatives (of the Messenger), the orphans, the poor, and the wayfarer, if you have believed in Allah and in that which We sent down to Our servant on the Day of Criterion, the Day when the two forces met; and Allah is able to do all things.)

So much for peace and tolerance huh? And so much for 'no compulsion in religion'. I'm 100% serious when I say that the information muslims tell non-muslims and what their actual motives are usually very different. One of the main purposes of this blog you are reading now is to point out that the motives of islam are to create an islamic new world order (NWO). Dont let the islamic propoganda machine try to sell you that muslims are being 'marginalized', when quran 9.29 CLEARLY commands muslims to marginalize all non-muslims. Dont let them try to sell you that muslims are being 'demonized' when the quran is PACKED with demonization of non-muslims. Yet how many people actually know that? The islamic propoganda machine is banking on very few.

Fitna (fitnah, fitnatun) and the way it is used in quran 8.39 and 2.193 is a clear demonstration of this. For muslims, much of creating this islamic NWO is based on exploiting the gullibility of the west, exploiting the west's lack of knowledge of islamic imperialism, and muslims ability to decieve non-muslims about their motives (taqiyya, tuqya). Look at the arabic transliteration and specifically the word 'kulluhu' in 8.39. Kulluhu means 'entirely'. In short, quran 8.39 is saying 'fight non-muslims throughout the world'. And of course the Profit Muhammad© benefits from this in quran 8.41, and the idea was to finance islam on the material and human spoils of conquest.

Study the rise of the Third Reich in nazi Germany, and you'll see that Hitler used the same tactic to rid Germany of 'fitna'. He simply outlawed opposing political parties. This is how dictatorships and totalitarian theocracies and ideologies are born, and explains why these are the main forms of government historically in the Middle East. Apostates and non-muslims are considered kufr and the reasons for 'fitna' and quran 8.39 clearly calls for their eradication. Look at the translations of quran 9.123 and you'll see a similar deception of how some of the translators are trying to portray this verse in a defensive posture instead of the offensive posture that it is. 9.123 is instructions on how to establish a foothold in an area and expand by treating the non-muslims in a harsh manner to drive the fitna out. This is happening in Europe and many other places now. A more in depth look at this is discussed here.

It's very clear that the:

existance of
influence from
temptation from

non-muslims is perceived as 'tumult and oppression' and 'persecution' to muslims. THIS is something that the muslims dont want non-muslims to know. The muslims want the focus to be stricly on 'great satan' and 'evil foreign policy' and being portrayed as victims to disguise the motives of their very own intentions and imperialistic policies.

When the muslims and their defenders portray it as 'tumult and oppression' and 'persecution', the gullible non-muslims take them at their word for it and the deception continues.

Kill For 'God'

2006-03-05T09:11:00.000-08:00

14: Both Men in Paradise Because of Jihaad
Jihad: The forgotten obligation
14: Both Men in Paradise Because of Jihaad
http://islam.worldofislam.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=517&Itemid=51

Narrated Abu Huraira (r) Allah's Messenger (saw) said, "Allah welcomes two men with a smile; one of whom kills the other and both of them enter Jannah. One fights in Allah's cause and gets killed. Later on Allah forgives the killer (ie he embraces Islam) who also gets Shaheed (in Allah's cause)." (Sahih Bukhari, p.396, vol.1)
An incident similar to this has been stated in Jam'ul Fawa'id (p.6, vol.2) Abu Musa (r) narrated that the Prophet (saw) was present in a battle when a Muslim confronted a kafir challenging him. The mushrik killed the muslim. Another Muslim also confronted him but was also killed. Then the unbeliever asked the Prophet (saw), "What is the aim of your fighting?" The Prophet (saw) answered, "it is part of our religion that we fight till they bear witness that there is no God but Allah and the Prophet (saw) is Allah's servant and messenger", and we fulfill the rights of Allah." The mushrik said, "This is a beautiful ideology and I bring Iman on Allah." Then he switched towards the Muslims and attacked the kafirs and kept on fighting till he was Shaheed. The Muslims placed him with the two Muslims whom he had killed. The Prophet (saw) said, "They will love each other a lot in Jannah." (Baz'az, Jamul Fawa'id, p.6, vol.2)
It is stated in a hadith that the meaning of Allah laughing is His pleasure and blessing. Some experts of hadith have stated that the explanation of Allah laughing is giving reward. We can conclude from this hadith the greatness of Jihaad and the merit of Shahadah and that accepting iman is the condition for Jihaad. There is no other prerequisite or attainment of a certain level of Iman for fulfilling the duty of Jihaad. We understand from the above hadith that this person had killed Muslims and was subsequently shaheed, he received glad tidings from the Prophet (saw).
The main issue is that when one prepares himself for this noble cause, the rivers of blessings from Allah are showered upon him, but the human's main enemy, the nafs, does not let one prepare for Jihaad and somehow raises unacceptable excuses, because Jihaad is the way to death for the nafs and the humiliation for Shaytan. The nafs and Shaytan are determined to distance the Muslim from Jihaad. It is therefore a very fortunate person who selects the path of Jihaad, thereby exposing himself to the showers of blessings from Allah. It is important to note however that the Mujahid's sole intention in participating in the Jihaad, is to fight for the pleasure of Allah.
---
quran 4.74 - Let those (believers) who sell the life of this world for the Hereafter fight in the Cause of Allah, and whoso fights in the Cause of Allah, and is killed or gets victory, We shall bestow on him a great reward.
---
Quran: 9:111, Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in truth, through the Law, the Gospel, and the Qur’an.
---

Now read this: Abrogation in the Quran - and especially this statement:

When we look at some of the abrogated and abrogating verses, e.g. the principle "there is no compulsion in religion" (S. 2:256) which was later abrogated by "fight and slay the pagans wherever you find them" (S. 9:5) — see these two articles (*, *) for details —, then it seems that oftentimes the earlier and abrogated verses are the better ones, while the later abrogating verses are of the evil and violent variety. Pondering this, one could then come to the conclusion that it was actually the other way around, i.e. Satan managed to abrogate the verses that Allah had originally given. Or, if we stick to the conclusion outlined in the main section of this paper, then the character of Allah in Islam is worse than that of Satan!

From an internet bulletin board:

To the infidels of the West:

Constitution for the new Islamic Republic of EU and USA is under construction.

We will fight the infidel to death.

Meanwhile American laws will protect us.
Democrats and Leftist will support us.
UNO will legitimize us.
CAIR will incubate us.
ACLU will empower us.
Western Universities will educate us.
Mosques will shelter us
OPEC will finance us
Hollywood will love us.
Koffi Annan will pass politically correct sympathetic statement for Jihadists.

Our children will immigrate from Pakistan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Indonesia and even from India to the US and to the other Western countries. They will go to the West for education in full scholarship. America is paying and will continue to pay for our children’s educations and their upbringing in state funded Islamic schools.

We will use your welfare system. Our children will also send money home while they are preparing for Jihad.

We will take the advantage of American kindness, gullibility, and compassion. When time comes, we will stab them in the back. We will say one thing on the camera and teach another thing to our children at home. We will give subliminal messages to our children to uphold Islam at any cost. Our children in America will always care more about Islamic Country’s interest than US interest.

We will teach our children Islamic supremacy from the very childhood. We will teach them not to compromise with Infidel. Once we do that from the very early age our children won’t hesitate to be martyr. We will take over the Europe first and then US will be the next. We already have a solid ground in the UK, Holland, Sweden, Spain, Italy, Germany, and now in the US.

Our children will marry Caucasian in Europe and in America. We will mixed with intricate fabric of the Western society but still will remember to Jihad when time comes. Who are we?
We are the “sleeper cells”.
We will raise our children to be loyal to Islam and Mohammad only. Everything else is secondary.

At the time of the real fight we will hold our own children as our armor. When American or Israeli troops shoot at us the world will be watching. Imagine,… Imagine the news in the world “Death of Muslim babies by infidels”.

We know CNN, ABC, CBS are broadcasting live. Al-Jazeera will pour gasoline on the fire. The news will spread like wildfire. “Americans killed 6 babies, 10 babies”. “Jews killed two women”,

Keep your Nukes in your curio cabinets. Keep your aircraft carrier or high-tech weaponry in the showcase. You can't use them against us because of your own higher moral standard. We will take the advantage of your higher moral standard and use it against you. We won’t hesitate to use our children as suicide bomber against you.

Visualize the news flash all over the world, …Moslem mother is sobbing, ….crying. ….Her babies are killed by Jews and Americans, the whole world is watching live. Hundreds of millions of Muslims all around the world are boiling. They will march through Europe. We will use our women to produce more babies who will in turn be used as armor/shield. Our babies are the gift from Allah for Jihad.

West manufactures their tanks in the factory. We will manufacture our military force by natural means, by producing more babies. That is the way it is cheaper.

You infidels at this site cannot defeat us. We are 1.2 billion. We will double again. Do you have enough bullets to kill us?

On the camera:
We will always say, “Islam is the religion of Peace.”
We will say, “Jihad is actually inner Jihad.”
Moderate Muslim will say there is no link between Islam and Terrorism and the West will believe it because the West is so gullible.
Moderate Muslim all over the world will incubate Jihadists by their talk by defending Islam.
Using Western Legal system we will assert our Sharia Laws, slowly but surely.
We will increase in number. We will double again.

You will be impressed when you meet a moderate Muslim personally. As your next-door neighbor, coworker, student, teacher, engineer, professionals you may even like us. You will find us well mannered, polite, humble that will make you say, “wow, Muslims are good and peaceful people”, But, we will stab you in your back when you are sleeping as we did on 911.
There will be more 911 in Europe and in America. We will say, “We do not support terrorism but America got what it deserved.”

Muslims, CAIR, ISNA, MPAC and other international Islamic Organization will unite. We will partner with Leftist, ACLU, with Koffi Annan, and the UN, and if we have to then even with France. Fasten your seatbelt. The war of civilizations has just begun.

We will recite Quran and say Allah-Hu-Akbar before beheading infidels, as we have been doing it. We will video tape those and send it to all infidels to watch. They will surrender - ISLAM means surrender, not peace.

We will use your own values of kindness against you.

You are destined to loose.

Must be very depressing for you. Isn’t it?

Allah-Hu-Akbar
as we say just before beheading.

21st Century Islamic Warfare
Let's see the effectiveness of Islamic warfare. Muslims Vs. the West. THE RULE HAS CHANGED. There is new game in town. Bill Clinton ordered 50 Tomahawks Cruise missiles costing $100,000,000 each to destroy $50 mud houses that belonged to Osama's family. What a stupidity? What a poor ROI (Return On Investment) In return Osama's attack on the US. Cost: 19 martyrs and less than $500,000.Cost to the West: over 3,000 dead.
At least $1,000,000,000,000 (one trillion) dollars economical loss in one year. This includes the ripple effect. Osama's ROI with respect to: life = 3,000/19 = 158 fold.Dollar = $1 tr./500K = 2,000,000 fold That is modern warfare. The West will loose. Allah-Hu-Akbar. Islam will rule the world. There is nothing you can do. Even if the per capita GDP of the world drops to half of its present level as a consequence of Islamic laws in place all over the world but still Islam will rule the word.

From your point of view we bring to the world to the dark ages, so be it. But still Islam wins, West looses.
Are you sure you want to play this game?Jihad, ..Jihad...Jeeehaaad... You are destined to loose. Allah-hu-Akbar

Saudi Arabia's $100 billion investment over the last 3 decades on over 60 thousands Madrassas and school all over the Islamic world is finally paying off. While the West was busy inventing medicine, increasing life expectancy, decoding human gene to find cure for Cancer, heart disease etc, launching space shuttle, inventing internet, working on new laws/theory for human rights, developing better economical models for a more prosperous world, while ACLU was gaining control over common sense, while American ingenuity was benefiting the rest of the world, we Muslims were busy producing over 200 million out of 1.4 billion, Walking, Talking, Non-Thinking, West-Hating, Pre-Programmed, Suicidal, Parasitic, Terrorist Robots. You can't win. The Genie is out of the bottle.

We will use American’s kindness, fairness, compassion, freedom of speech and non-discriminatory policy against them. We will stab them in the back.

What are you going to do? You are doomed.

Saudi Women

2006-02-27T18:13:00.000-08:00

Hard to believe this is an issue in 2006.

JEDDAH, Arab News: Women are disproportionately affected by identity theft in the Kingdom’s court system due to the lack of adequate identification systems, Asharq Al-Awsat reported. Compounding this problem is the disregard of ladies services in the legal system as a whole, says one would-be female lawyer. “I joined Islamic studies at university because I wanted to work in law,” said Areej Abdul Hay. “Specialized study is not open for women but I finished my Islamic studies and I do not see any problem in us joining the court system to help women.” Areej, who hopes one day to be a lawyer, says that while as many as half of all cases affect and involve women, there is a lack of legal services for them, services that are in particular demand due to the propensity for women to be unaware of court procedures. The lack of attention to women in the court system also creates other civic problems. In one reported case, a woman posing as another woman was married without having to prove her identity. Since the courts do not request proof of identity for women, the marriage was certified based only on proof of the groom’s identity. The fraud was revealed later only after the victim of identity theft discovered that she was robbed of her father’s inheritance when the other woman claimed it without having to prove her identity. Mamdouh Salem, a court employee, supports the idea of opening of a female branch in the court system, but pointed out that it would not solve the problem of identity theft. “I support the idea of opening a female branch in all government departments. I do agree that the biggest problem in court is confirming female identity. I do not think that by opening the female section, all problems would be solved. What will solve the fake identity problem is the female identification card. If it were compulsory then the problem would be solved because court clerks could ask for proof of identification. But I am sure that most women will reject this idea,” said Salem. Saudi Arabia recently began offering women the option of having their own identification cards separate from the traditional family IDs. However, many women choose not to have the card because it requires them to provide a full-facial photograph. Abdullah Al-Othaim, a judge, concedes there are cases of fake identity. “It is possible that people are faking other people’s identity,” said Othaim. “What we can do is try to limit it as much as possible. Banks are depending more on female signatures than their pictures. We do the same but if we see that it is important to confirm the female identity, we do that.” Opening the court system to women, says Areej, would also help the Kingdom achieve the stated goals of employing more women. However, judge Othaim said that he is against the idea of opening a women’s branch in the court system because it would lead to unnecessary duplication of state expenses.

hmmm... Was the Coalition just borrowing a tactic from islam in the war in Iraq? Check this out, seems like a page was ripped straight from their playbook. Read the part below and remember that the constitution of Iran make it clear that they are and Islamic state:

The form of government of Iran is that of an Islamic Republic, endorsed by the people of Iran on the basis of their longstanding belief in the sovereignty of truth and Qur'anic justice source below

The duties and responsibilities of the Khalifa

Safeguard Islam in its original form, and to protect against the introduction of new things (bid'a) into Islam.
Establish justice (including punishments for crimes) among the people.
Ensure the protection of the ummah. People within the boundaries of the Muslim state (regardless of whether they are Muslims or not) should feel secure enough to be productive.
Protect the physical boundaries of the state through the use of arms and other methods.
Defend the rights of Muslims abroad, and to see to it that Islam can spread freely in non-Muslim lands (including the use of force).
Organize jihad against any non-Muslim government which prevents Muslim da'wah from entering its land.
Collect and distribute zakat and the spoils of war according to the Qur'an and Sunnah (and ijtihad, if necessary). This must be done without the use of fear as an incentive (unless a person refuses to pay). Zakat is not to be taken from the best or worst of people's possessions, but rather from the middle.
Pay the salaries of Bayt-ul-Mal employees, i.e., those people whose job is the collection of zakat and other state-levied taxes. Their salaries should be reasonable and be paid on time.
Hire honest people as helpers, aides, governors, etc. The Khalifa must appoint to public office those who are competent and who can give good advice. This especially applies to Bayt-ul-Mal officials.
Be heavily involved personally in the acts of governing. The Khalifa must be actively checking and overseeing the duties of the government, and constantly be guarding against internal corruption.

the allah of the quran is NOT the same entity as the god of the bible

Islam is based on allah's identity theft of 'god'.

Muslims are actively misrepresenting who Muhammad was and what Islam is.

Several hundred years after the death of Muhammad and completion of the Quran, Muslims have developed their theory of Bible Corruption because they realized the teachings of Bible and Quran contradicted each other. However, this theory fails to achieve its purpose, i.e. to maintain the authority of the Quran.

A French far-right leader standing in the 2007 presidential election set conditions for building mosques in France, and said that the government shouldn’t accept compromises on Muslim issues. Philippe de Villiers, who has overtaken the veteran extreme-right leader Jean-Marie Le Pen in opinion surveys, said that Muslims can be allowed to build mosques only if they ensured equality between the sexes, and the freedom to change religions. Many Muslim groups want to build proper mosques to replace the garages and factories they use for praying, but their plans are often opposed by non-Muslim neighbors.Villiers also said that France shouldn’t accept compromises on Muslim issues such as serving “Halal” food, or allowing “women only” hours in swimming pools.He also said France must confront what he called "the progressive Islamisation of French society.""It's not up to France to adapt to Islam but to Islam to adapt to France," Villiers said."We have to impose our concept of freedom, and not that of others," he said.France's five million Muslims make up the largest Islamic community in Europe.

Muhammad

2006-02-10T12:10:00.000-08:00

There are only six hundred verses relating to prayer and ritual and some eighty verses relating to crime and punishment and inheritance laws. Thus it can be simply stated that the Quran is not a book of law. The basis of Islamic law or shari'a is, however, to be found in the hadith - giving the hadith a fundamental importance in the religion of Islam.

Yes indeed. All of the sources for this post are from authenticated (sahih) hadith.

Muhammad the terrorist

Muhammad kidnapping, condoning rape (participating?) and a bonus biology lesson

Muhammad the child molester

Muhammad condoning murder #4348 Muhammad condones the murder of a pregnant woman AND her unborn child, leaving her children (at least 2) motherless. All because of muhammads vanity and insecurity.

Islamic websites claim 'Muhammad never struck a woman'. Well here's islamic historical evidence that he struck a very young girl: I said: Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be ransom for you, and then I told him (the whole story). He said: Was it the darkness (of your shadow) that I saw in front of me? I said: Yes. He struck me on the chest which caused me pain source #2127

Muhammad saw his sons wife naked, thought she was hot and just had to have her and bingo, down came the verse that made it so: quran 33:37-38

Tabari VIII:4 “One day Muhammad went out looking for Zayd. Now there was a covering of haircloth over the doorway, but the wind had lifted the covering so that the doorway was uncovered. Zaynab was in her chamber, undressed, and admiration for her entered the heart of the Prophet. After that Allah made her unattractive to Zayd.'”

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 795:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet cut off the hands and feet of the men belonging to the tribe of 'Uraina and did not cauterise (their bleeding limbs) till they died.

Chapter 29: IT IS PERMISSIBLE TO HAVE SEXUAL INTERCOURSE WITH A CAPTIVE WOMAN AFTER SHE IS PURIFIED (OF MENSES OR DELIVERY) IN CASE SHE HAS A HUSBAND, HER MARRIAGE IS ABROGATED AFTER SHE BECOMES CAPTIVE source

Dont plan on reasoning with muslims on this issue because of quran 33:36 and 5:101 which makes it clear to muslims that it is he who questions the morality of these things, who is in the wrong. Is 8:17 teaching that muslims arent responsible for their actions?

'Where is the little one? Call the little one to me.' Hasan came running and jumped into his lap. Then he put his hand in his beard. Then the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, opened his mouth and put his tongue in his mouth. Then he said, O Allah, I love him, so love him and the one who loves him!'" source #1183

Muslims often say: "Its's against islam to kill innocent women and children in war". There is a reason for this. Women and children are considered a commodity as spoils of war. Dead women and children have no value on the slave market, or as reward to fighters. Muhammad encouraged the eradication of non-muslims and their influence (8.39), offered an 80% incentive of ANYTHING they acquired in the process (8.41 - do the basic math), then when the muslim men expressed sexual interest in the females they acquired as booty, he condoned their rape (4.24).

Muslims will try to refute this by saying that quran 4.24 refers only to marriage, but they are either misinformed or lying. Quran 4.3 refers to marriage. Quran 4.24 refers to sex.

Hijab, burkas, chadors came about as a visual symbol of the women who were supposed to be immune from this.

Volume 5, Book 59, Number 362:
Narrated Ibn Umar:
Bani An-Nadir and Bani Quraiza fought (against the Prophet violating their peace treaty), so the Prophet exiled Bani An-Nadir and allowed Bani Quraiza to remain at their places (in Medina) taking nothing from them till they fought against the Prophet again) . He then killed their men and distributed their women, children and property among the Muslims, but some of them came to the Prophet and he granted them safety, and they embraced Islam. He exiled all the Jews from Medina. They were the Jews of Bani Qainuqa', the tribe of 'Abdullah bin Salam and the Jews of Bani Haritha and all the other Jews of Medina.

Ignore That Turd In The Punchbowl (hehe):

Book 1, Number 0067:
Narrated AbuSa'id al-Khudri:
I heard that the people asked the Prophet of Allah (peace_be_upon_him): Water is brought for you from the well of Buda'ah. It is a well in which dead dogs, menstrual clothes and excrement of people are thrown. The Messenger of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) replied: Verily water is pure and is not defiled by anything.

In all of these links, notice the words 'fundamentals' and 'sunnah'. Sunni muslims are called that because they are followers of the sunnah. The MSA in the links means 'Muslim Student Association'.
http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/abudawud/001.sat.html

Trust me folks, dont underestimate the moral depravity of muslims. Dont compare apples to oranges.

There is NO SUCH THING as a 36% or a 84% muslim. DO NOT assume they embrace 21st century concepts of human rights, and equality, and seem nice and peaceful. This is primitive 7th century political ideology and they exploit the misguided fact that they are percieved as a 'religion', and exploit that they have created the illusion that islam a 'religion of peace', or 'islam means peace'.

DO NOT buy into the myth that islam has been 'hijacked' or has been given a false image by the media.

Any muslims who claim otherwise is denouncing their very own islamic teachings. Why would a muslim deny that what I'm saying is true? SIMPLE! They want you to believe what THEY want you to believe!

I have EXTENSIVE experience dealing with muslims. I've never heard a single one of them denounce the hadiths mentioned above as even the SLIGHTEST bit questionable in justice or morality.

Muhammad is not a true Prophet of God

Women in Islam

2006-02-06T13:42:00.000-08:00

Read this hadith and note how muhammad advocates rape and is even present and more than likely participating.

Muhammad and his gang went out and acquired some "excellent Arab women" as slaves. They wanted to have sex with them (rape would be a more appropriate word), but were concerned that impregnating the girls would ruin their value on the slave market (ransom). Perplexed, they decided to ask muhammad what they should do (since he was there with them). They asked him if they should 'pull out' before ejaculating to prevent this. Instead of condemning rape as an immoral act, Muhammad replies: Dont worry, the child doesnt come from you, it comes from allah. And, Dont worry, "The child does not come from all the liquid (sermen) - look at 3381 -(semen in english). Read more about "Muhammads Excellent Adventure" starting at 3371 in the link below: Book 008, Number 3371 (note the word 'fundamentals' in the link)

(Imam Muslim is the author of the 'Sahih Muslim' collection of hadith, and is considered the second most accepted author of hadith after Bukhari. )
http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/muslim/008.smt.html#008.3371
Book 008, Number 3371:
Abu Sirma said to Abu Sa'id al Khadri (Allah he pleased with him): 0 Abu Sa'id, did you hear Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) mentioning al-'azl? He said: Yes, and added: We went out with Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) on the expedition to the Bi'l-Mustaliq and took captive some excellent Arab women; and we desired them, for we were suffering from the absence of our wives, (but at the same time) we also desired ransom for them. So we decided to have sexual intercourse with them but by observing 'azl (Withdrawing the male sexual organ before emission of semen to avoid-conception). But we said: We are doing an act whereas Allah's Messenger is amongst us; why not ask him? So we asked Allah's Mes- senger (may peace be upon him), and he said: It does not matter if you do not do it, for every soul that is to be born up to the Day of Resurrection will be born.

here is the same 'excellent adventure' in the Bukhari hadith which is recognized as the most authentic hadith:
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 137
http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/bukhari/062.sbt.html

If you present this to a muslim they will deny it, downplay it, and accuse you of making it up. These are authentic (sahih) hadith that have been accepted by the 'Ummah' (Islamic community) for centuries. This is what makes up the 'sunnah' (traditions of the Ummah based on the lifestyle and teachings of muhammad via the hadith). Thats why in the link it says 'fundamentals/hadithsunnah. This is islamic sharia law. If these are fabricated or 'weak' hadith, why are they there and why have they BEEN THERE for centuries? Muslims very own islamic texts say muhammad participated in kidnapping, rape, human trafficking, murder, pedophilia, terrorism and want us to believe he was the 'perfect man'? Are you kidding me? Of course they will only present the sugarcoated version complete with smokescreen words like 'noble' and 'glorious' and 'exemplory' to hide that islam is deeply rooted in primitive, despicable 7th century tribalism and superstition.

"Women and Their Short comings" it gets better! read this:

O' ye peoples! Women are deficient in Faith, deficient in shares and deficient in intelligence. As regards the deficiency in their Faith, it is their abstention from prayers and fasting during their menstrual period. As regards deficiency in their intelligence it is because the evidence of two women is equal to that of one man.
read it all here

an ayat (verse) concerning this from the quran is here . (And if two men be not (at hand) then a man and two women). Notice how in that verse, only the woman is capable of erring. The quran said it! it must be true! right?

and a hadith:
Volume 1, Book 6, Number 301: source
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
Once Allah's Apostle went out to the Musalla (to offer the prayer) o 'Id-al-Adha or Al-Fitr prayer. Then he passed by the women and said, "O women! Give alms, as I have seen that the majority of the dwellers of Hell-fire were you (women)." They asked, "Why is it so, O Allah's Apostle ?" He replied, "You curse frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you. A cautious sensible man could be led astray by some of you." The women asked, "O Allah's Apostle! What is deficient in our intelligence and religion?" He said, "Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man?" They replied in the affirmative. He said, "This is the deficiency in her intelligence. Isn't it true that a woman can neither pray nor fast during her menses?" The women replied in the affirmative. He said, "This is the deficiency in her religion."

quran 53:19-22 says that siring females is an insult. Saying allah has children is bad enough but females! Gasp! Insult to injury! This is called misogyny.

WHAT!… For you the male sex, and for Him, the female? Behold, such would be indeed a division most unfair!”

We've heard that muslim men get 72 virgins (Hoor Al-`Een) and all that, but whats in it for muslim women?
Good question. Apparently allah (muhammad) didnt bother to spend any time to clarify this. Check out this fatwa and notice how the sheik cant bring himself to simply say NO. :
---
Dear Sheikh! We always hear that men will have Hoor Al-`Een in Paradise. What about women? Will they have their own Hoor Al-`Een or what?

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. All thanks and praise are due to Allah and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger. Dear questioner, we would like to thank you for your good question and we implore Almighty Allah for His help in furnishing you with the best answer. In the very beginning, we would like to cite Ibn Kathir’s comment on the issue of men having Hoor Al-`Een. It reads:“ Almighty Allah tells us that He will provide the residents of Paradise with beautiful wives who have big and lustrous eyes and 'whom no man or Jinn before them has touched' and who are 'Like unto rubies and coral'”. In fact, Paradise is the abode of the believers in the Hereafter. Allah has prepared for His believing servants, males and females, in Paradise indescribable bliss that which no eye has seen, no ear has heard of and that has never ever crossed the minds of people, to the extent that even the person who has the least blessings in Paradise will think that he is the most blessed one. In more than one Qur'anic verse, Allah, Most High, calls upon His servants to do their utmost in order to be favored with Paradise. For example, He says, "And vie one with another for forgiveness from your Lord, and for a Paradise as wide as are the heavens and the earth, prepared for those who ward off (evil)." (Al `Imran: 133) All this indicates that in Paradise believing men and women will be showered with blessings; there is no room for discrimination based on gender in Paradise. Focusing more on this issue, Sheikh `Atiyyah Saqr, former Head of Al-Azhar Fatwa Committee, adds: “Here Allah mentions the Hoor Al`Een because in most cases men pursue women and not vice versa. As for women, Allah Almighty may marry them to any of the believers in Paradise, if they did not get married during worldly life, or He may compensate them by making them feel content with their position. It is also said that Allah may grant women some kind of beauty with which they will feel that they are better than the Hoor Al-`Een and that they are their mistress, so they will not love anyone other than their own husbands nor will they feel jealous of the Hoor Al-`Een.”
Allah Almighty knows best. source

Islamic spin doctors capitolize on the fact that most people are clueless to islamic history. They've gotten away with people believing whatever they tell them long enough.

Volume 7, Book 62, Number 126:
Narrated Imran:
The Prophet said, "I looked at Paradise and saw that the majority of its residents were the poor; and I looked at the (Hell) Fire and saw that the majority of its residents were women."

When and if the man should not find his bride a virgin on the wedding night, he may call in her father and/or brother and tell them with utter contempt, "Take away from me your bitch"; and the bride’s father or in his absence, her brother would shoot her dead in the room or in the yard, besides which all the money and presents given would be returned."

Volume 6, Book 60, Number 318:
Narrated Aisha:
Sauda (the wife of the Prophet) went out to answer the call of nature after it was made obligatory (for all the Muslims ladies) to observe the veil. She was a fat huge lady, and everybody who knew her before could recognize her. So 'Umar bin Al-Khattab saw her and said, "O Sauda! By Allah, you cannot hide yourself from us, so think of a way by which you should not be recognized on going out. Sauda returned while Allah's Apostle was in my house taking his supper and a bone covered with meat was in his hand. She entered and said, "O Allah's Apostle! I went out to answer the call of nature and 'Umar said to me so-and-so." Then Allah inspired him (the Prophet) and when the state of inspiration was over and the bone was still in his hand as he had not put in down, he said (to Sauda), "You (women) have been allowed to go out for your needs."

Free Speech - Lock & Load

2006-01-31T12:43:00.000-08:00

Just think, millions of muslims throughout the world are taught to be rabidly anti-semetic, anti-non-muslim, yet they all have polio vaccinations courtesy of Jonas Salk, and utilize western freedoms, innovations and technology to denounce those very things. The appalling practices of islam are a bottemless pit, no matter how muhammad tried to shroud and wrap it in the illusion of piety and righteousness, and no matter how muslims try to perpetuate the myth of islam being 'peaceful'. Look around the world folks. The islamic war on free speech, islamic death for apostacy, the multitude of verses from the quran and hadith promoting violence, subjugation, coercion, intimidation and outright primitive policy is a threat to the civilized world. Look at how muslims completely flip out over these drawings, yet are silent over disgusting acts of terrorism. Why? Because if the terrorism is done in the name of islam, then they consider it acceptable. But print some pictures of muhammad and you get wordlwide condemnation. Remember what Osama Bin Ladin said: "We love death as you love life'.
and article 8 in the hamas charter:
Allah is its target, the Prophet is its model, the Koran its constitution: Jihad is its path and death for the sake of Allah is the loftiest of its wishes. source here

Taqiyya - How to Lie and Call It Diplomacy

2006-01-26T19:06:00.000-08:00

Taqiyya has several spellings and means dissimulation.

dissimulation definition:

To disguise (one's intentions, for example) under a feigned appearance. Synonyms: disguise.

To conceal one's true feelings or intentions.

Concealment of the truth about a situation, especially about a state of health, as by a malingerer.

This post is dedicated to all the politicians who are telling the public that islam is a 'spiritual philosophy' and a 'peaceful source of inspiration'. Here we have a blatant point blank admission that islam teaches muslims to shun non-muslims, participate in civil disobedience, seperatism, and to lie and spin doctor (tuqya, taqiyya, taqiya). Remember that 'enemies' refers to any and all non-muslims, because disbelief is considered a great sin in islam. 'Enemies' does not refer to an act or acts, but the mere existance thereof. I'm sure Oprah, or Barbera Walters, or Michael Moore are planning an expose' on this.... Hah! Dream on. Be sure to read the rest of this site about islam.
quran 3:28 - Let not the believers take the unbelievers for friends (awliyaa) rather than believers; and whoever does this, he shall have nothing of (the guardianship of) Allah, but you should guard (tattaqoo) yourselves against them, guarding carefully (tuqatan); and Allah makes you cautious of (retribution from) Himself; and to Allah is the eventual coming." (Shakir)

Tafsir of quran 3.28 - Tafsir al-Jalalayn:
Let not the believers take the disbelievers as patrons, rather than, that is, instead of, the believers - for whoever does that, that is, [whoever] takes them as patrons, does not belong to, the religion of, God in anyway - unless you protect yourselves against them, as a safeguard (tuqātan, 'as a safeguard', is the verbal noun from taqiyyatan), that is to say, [unless] you fear something, in which case you may show patronage to them through words, but not in your hearts: this was before the hegemony of Islam and [the dispensation] applies to any individual residing in a land with no say in it. God warns you, He instills fear in you, of His Self, [warning] that He may be wrathful with you if you take them as patrons; and to God is the journey's end, the return, and He will requite you.

Look again closely: through words, but not in your hearts. This is called LYING. Creating a false image to disguise ones motives. Fly under the radar until they have the population necessary to enforce their agenda, which is defined in 9.33 and 8.39 among other verses.

quran 3.28 - Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
(Let not the believers take) the believers ought not to take [the hypocrites:] 'Abdullah Ibn Ubayy and his companions [and] (disbelievers) the Jews (for their friends) so as to become mighty and honourable (in preference to believers) who are sincere. (Whoso doeth that) seeking might and honour [by taking the hypocrites and disbelievers as friends] (hath no connection with Allah) has no honour, mercy or protection from Allah (unless (it be) that ye but guard yourselves against them) save yourselves from them, (taking (as it were) security) saving yourselves from them by speaking in a friendly way towards them with, while your hearts dislikes this. (Allah bideth you beware (only) of Himself) regarding the shunning of unlawful killing, unlawful sex, unlawful property, consuming intoxicants, false testimony and associating partners with Allah. (Unto Allah is the journeying) the return after death.

The Prohibition of Supporting the Disbelievers (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Allah prohibited His believing servants from becoming supporters of the disbelievers, or to take them as comrades with whom they develop friendships, rather than the believers. Allah warned against such behavior when He said,

(And whoever does that, will never be helped by Allah in any way) meaning, whoever commits this act that Allah has prohibited, then Allah will discard him. Similarly, Allah said,

(O you who believe! Take not My enemies and your enemies as friends, showing affection towards them), until,

(And whosoever of you does that, then indeed he has gone astray from the straight path.) [60:1]. Allah said,

(O you who believe! Take not for friends disbelievers instead of believers. Do you wish to offer Allah a manifest proof against yourselves) [4:144], and,

(O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as friends, they are but friends of each other. And whoever befriends them, then surely, he is one of them.) [5:51].
Allah said, after mentioning the fact that the faithful believers gave their support to the faithful believers among the Muhajirin, Ansar and Bedouins,

(And those who disbelieve are allies of one another, (and) if you do not behave the same, there will be Fitnah and oppression on the earth, and a great mischief and corruption.) [8:73].
Allah said next,

(unless you indeed fear a danger from them) meaning, except those believers who in some areas or times fear for their safety from the disbelievers. In this case, such believers are allowed to show friendship to the disbelievers outwardly, but never inwardly. For instance, Al-Bukhari recorded that Abu Ad-Darda' said, "We smile in the face of some people although our hearts curse them.'' Al-Bukhari said that Al-Hasan said, "The Tuqyah is allowed until the Day of Resurrection.'' Allah said,

(And Allah warns you against Himself.) meaning, He warns you against His anger and the severe torment He prepared for those who give their support to His enemies, and those who have enmity with His friends,

(And to Allah is the final return) meaning, the return is to Him and He will reward or punish each person according to their deeds.

(29. Say: "Whether you hide what is in your breasts or reveal it, Allah knows it, and He knows what is in the heavens and what is in the earth. And Allah is able to do all things.'') (30. On the Day when every person will be confronted with the good he has done, and all the evil he has done, he will wish that there were a great distance between him and his evil. And Allah warns you against Himself and Allah is full of kindness with the servants.)

"Any one who, after accepting faith in Allah, utters Unbelief, except under compulsion, his heart remaining firm in Faith, but such as open their breast to Unbelief, on them is Wrath from Allah, and theirs will be a dreadful Penalty." Sura 16:106

Chapter 25: FORBIDDANCE OF TELLING A LIE AND THE CASES IN WHICH TELLING OF LIE IS PERMISSIBLE

Humaid b. 'Abd al-Rahman b. 'Auf reported that his mother Umm Kulthum daughter of 'Uqba b. Abu Mu'ait, and she was one amongst the first emigrants who pledged allegiance to Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him), as saying that she heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: A liar is not one who tries to bring reconciliation amongst people and speaks good (in order to avert dispute), or he conveys good. Ibn Shihab said he did not hear that exemption was granted in anything what the people speak as lie but in three cases: in battle, for bringing reconciliation amongst persons and the narration of the words of the husband to his wife, and the narration of the words of a wife to her husband (in a twisted form in order to bring reconciliation between them). (Sahih Muslim, Hadith number 6303-05; see also Sahih al-Bukhari 3.857)

Allah's Apostle said, "Who is willing to kill Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf who has hurt Allah and His Apostle?" Thereupon Muhammad bin Maslama got up saying, "O Allah's Apostle! Would you like that I kill him?" The Prophet said, "Yes," Muhammad bin Maslama said, "Then allow me to say a (false) thing (i.e. to deceive Kab). "The Prophet said, "You may say it." ... (Sahih al-Bukhari 5.369, cf. the article on Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf for further details)

Volume 3, Book 49, Number 857: source #857
Narrated Um Kulthum bint Uqba:
That she heard Allah's Apostle saying, "He who makes peace between the people by inventing good information or saying good things, is not a liar."

Remember that anytime you see 'enemy' or 'war' or 'fighting' pertaining to islam, remember what constitutes fighting in islam:

"He who fights so that Allah's Word (Islam) should be superior, then he fights in Allah's cause." source

also quran 9:33 - 8:39 - 9:111 - 9:5 - 9:123 .

9:12 teaches that violence is the way to settle differences. Remember that muslims say islam is a 'complete way of life', therefore they will take anything and everything as an attack on their 'religion'. Acts of terrorism and violence arent condemned in the muslim world because they believe it is the doings of allah and not the terrorists: - quran 9:14 Fight them, and Allah will punish them by your hands -

He replied: "O Messenger of Allah, he said it in dissimulation (taqiyyatan)." The Prophet -- Allah bless and greet him -- said: source #26

From Terror-watch.net Also see this from al-islam.org (How to lie and call it diplomacy)

The principle of Al-Takeyya The Arabic word, "Takeyya", means "to prevent," or guard against. The principle of Al Takeyya conveys the understanding that Muslims are permitted to lie as a preventive measure against anticipated harm to one's self or fellow Muslims. This principle gives Muslims the liberty to lie under circumstances that they perceive as life threatening. They can even deny the faith, if they do not mean it in their hearts. Al-Takeyya is based on the following Quranic verse: "Let not the believers Take for friends or helpers Unbelievers rather than believers: if any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah: except by way of precaution (prevention), that ye may Guard yourselves from them (prevent them from harming you.) But Allah cautions you (To remember) Himself; for the final goal is to Allah." Surah 3: 28 According to this verse a Muslim can pretend to befriend infidels (in violation of the teachings of Islam) and display adherence with their unbelief to prevent them from harming him.Under the concept of Takeyya and short of killing another human being, if under the threat of force, it is legitimate for Muslims to act contrary to their faith. The following actions are acceptable: â€¢ Drink wine, abandon prayers, and skip fasting during Ramadan. â€¢ Renounce belief in Allah. â€¢ Kneel in homage to a deity other than Allah. Utter insincere oaths. The implications of the principle of Al-Takeyya Unfortunately, when dealing with Muslims, one must keep in mind that Muslims can communicate something with apparent sincerity, when in reality they may have just the opposite agenda in their hearts. Bluntly stated, Islam permits Muslims to lie anytime that they perceive that their own well-being, or that of Islam, is threatened. In the sphere of international politics, the question is: Can Muslim countries be trusted to keep their end of the agreements that they sign with non-Muslim nations? It is a known Islamic practice, that when Muslims are weak they can agree with most anything. Once they become strong, then they negate what they formerly vowed. The principle of sanctioning lying for the cause of Islam bears grave implications in matters relating to the spread of the religion of Islam in the West. Muslim activists employ deceptive tactics in their attempts to polish Islam's image and make it more attractive to prospective converts. These texts are peaceful and exemplify tolerance towards those that are not followers of Islam. All the while, they are fully aware that most of these passages were abrogated (cancelled and replaced) by passages that came after he migrated to Medina. The replacement verses reflect prejudice, intolerance, and endorse violence upon unbelievers.
In conclusion, it is imperative to understand, that Muslim leaders can use this loop-hole in their religion, to absolve them from any permanent commitment.It is also important to know that what Muslim activists say to spread Islam may not always be the whole truth. When dealing with Muslims, what they say is not the issue. The real issue is, what they actually mean in their hearts.

An interesting thing is how islamists will typically respond to this. They're standard tactic is to:
1) TRY TO portray islam solely as a 'religion'. They do this to TRY TO establish that any further scrutiny will be taken as an offense to 'religious sensibilities'. Expect phrases like 'other peoples faith' and 'bashing' and 'hating' and 'racist' to be thrown around. Islam isnt a race, and Islam IS a political entity. This tactic is done to try to divert attention from that.
2) Act Offended. Islamists will TRY TO establish themselves as the victims .
3) Say that tuqyah is only a 'shia thing'. They even lie about lying.
4) Change the subject.
5) Accuse you of 'generalizing' and 'demonizing'. This is very interesting because the quran contains an enormous amount of generalizing and demonizing of non-muslims. Lets examine that:

First and formost, remember that islam is an imperialistic, offensive postured, totalitarian theocratic belief system. These verses from the quran below make that quite clear. Also remember that by demonizing, generalizing and fabricating enemies, muhammad (and whoever else wrote the quran) stood to profit from this (quran 8.41). Slavery, fear and stolen goods are what financed islam. Note that 80% is the motivation. Do the math. 100% - 1/5 (20%) = 80%.

quran 8.41 - And know that whatever you take as spoils in war, a fifth thereof is for ALLAH and for the Messenger and the kindred and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer, if you believe in ALLAH and what WE sent down to Our servant on the Day of Distinction, - the day when the two armies met - and ALLAH has power to do all that HE wills.

quran 9:33 - He it is Who hath sent His messenger with the guidance and the Religion of Truth, that He may cause it to prevail over all religion, however much the idolaters may be averse.

quran 8.39 - And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism: i.e. worshipping others besides Allah) and the religion (worship) will all be for Allah Alone [in the whole of the world^]. But if they cease (worshipping others besides Allah), then certainly, Allah is All-Seer of what they do. ---- This is a common theme and is discussed more in this site about islam. Quran 8.39 covered in depth

Now lets examine some generalizing and demonizing.

Judaism does not consider Ezra (Uzair) to be 'the Son of God'. Yet muhammad wanted muslims to believe they do, so he generalized and made that claim. Note how in quran 9.30, 2 of the 10 translators try to hide that it says THE son by saying A son here . This points out a blatant historical innaccuracy in the quran, a blatant generalization in the quran, as well as an attempt to cover it up by the translators. (in depth examination) This is a common theme in the quran that shows muhammad (and whoever else) were getting wrong information and attributing it as stereotypes to others. Pure generalization. Dont forget that the warlord Profit Muhammad has plenty to gain from this (20% $$$ quran 8.41).

98.6 - Verily, those who disbelieve (in the religion of Islam, the Qur'an and Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) from among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) and Al-Mushrikun will abide in the Fire of Hell. They are the worst of creatures.

Worst of creatures? If that isnt demonization, WHAT IS! Further observations, and study into the tafsirs and hadith show that muslims have bought into these myths for centuries. Read this.

The strict traditions, rituals and customs of islam have a purpose. They are to lay down a defining line between who they can point the finger at as being 'al-mushrikun' (another devisive term for non-muslims and humanity in general). If you're like me and find the whole religious zealot 'holier than thou' attitude nauseating, then islam is your worst nightmare. Imagine George Orwells's '1984' in a hardcore theocratic setting and that is where islam is heading. The question is... how much it will be allowed to become a reality. Muslims are actively engaging in a full assault on the freedoms we sometimes take for granted. Keep an eye on what the islamic spin doctors are doing and remember that its sometimes hard to tell just who they actually are. They come in many disguises, and they have a network of defenders.

Abrogated means 'canceled out'.

Read this about Abrogation in the Quran. I couldnt agree more. Especially this observation:

When we look at some of the abrogated and abrogating verses, e.g. the principle "there is no compulsion in religion" (S. 2:256) which was later abrogated by "fight and slay the pagans wherever you find them" (S. 9:5) — see these two articles (*, *) for details —, then it seems that oftentimes the earlier and abrogated verses are the better ones, while the later abrogating verses are of the evil and violent variety. Pondering this, one could then come to the conclusion that it was actually the other way around, i.e. Satan managed to abrogate the verses that Allah had originally given. Or, if we stick to the conclusion outlined in the main section of this paper, then the character of Allah in Islam is worse than that of Satan!

To understand the above statement and especially the underlined part, you need to understand that the numerical suras (chapters) in the quran do not appear in the chronological order in which they were revealed. The suras and ayats (chapters and verses) coincide with events in the life of muhammad. An example would be that when muhammad needed to justify how he didnt practice what he preached, a conveniently timed ayat was revealed. Quran 33.50 suddenly appeared when muhammad needed to justify how he could have as many wives and slave women as he wanted, including whatever women wanted to throw themselves at his feet, but no one else could. Notice how muhammad claims allah himself participates in human trafficking.
---
quran 33.50 - O Prophet! WE have made lawful to thee thy wives whom thou hast paid their dowries, and those whom thy right hand possesses from among those whom ALLAH has given thee as gains of war, and the daughters of thy paternal uncle, and the daughters of thy paternal aunts, and the daughters of thy maternal uncle, and the daughters of thy maternal aunts who have emigrated with thee and any other believing woman if she offers herself for marriage to the Prophet provided the Prophet desires to marry her; this provision is only for thee, and not for other believers - WE have already made known what WE have enjoined on them concerning their wives and those whom their right hands possess - in order that there may be no difficulty for thee in explaining the Law to them. And ALLAH is Most Forgiving, Merciful.

"How conveeeeeeenient". Apparently Aisha noticed the funny business as well:

Volume 6, Book 60, Number 311:
Narrated Aisha:
I used to look down upon those ladies who had given themselves to Allah's Apostle and I used to say, "Can a lady give herself (to a man)?" But when Allah revealed: "You (O Muhammad) can postpone (the turn of) whom you will of them (your wives), and you may receive any of them whom you will; and there is no blame on you if you invite one whose turn you have set aside (temporarily).' (33.51) I said (to the Prophet), "I feel that your Lord hastens in fulfilling your wishes and desires."
---

I think its safe to say that Aisha knew the asbabul nuzul (historical context).

Its interesting to note that right around the time that muhammad moved to Medina, his wife Khadija (15 years older) died and he married 6 year old Aisha (48 years younger).

Also keep in mind the concept of abrogation. Since chronologically the Medina suras came after the Mecca suras, many of the the Mecca suras have been canceled out. This is all part of the deception, ambiguity and confusion that is going on in the quran. Remember that the 'Sura of the sword', sura 9, was the next to last sura revealed. Muslims routinely quote certain verses from the quran based on when muhammad was weak and had no power, knowing full well that the verses were abrogated (canceled out) by the Medina suras. The non-muslim general public runs with that and propogates the deception which is the exact same way a trojan horse virus infiltrates your computer and then propogates itself to other computers.

quran 2:106 - And for whatever verse We abrogate or cast into oblivion, We bring a better or the like of it; knowest thou not that God is powerful over everything?

Since I opened this post by dedicating it to politicians, here is something interesting concerning that. This post is about islamic Tuqya (lying / spin doctoring to create diplomacy). Note this demonstration complete with sources:
---
definition; iftaar: meal served at the end of the day during Ramadan, to break the day's fast
---
George W. Bush says (partial quote with source):
Islam is a religion that brings hope and comfort to more than a billion people around the world. It has made brothers and sisters of every race. It has given birth to a rich culture of learning and literature and science. Tonight we honor the traditions of a great faith by hosting this Iftaar at the White House.

Now look at this from islam-qa.com #38125: Iftaar with non-Muslims

Question :
Is it haram to have iftar with non muslims like hindu,christian.etc...?.

Answer :
Praise be to Allaah.
It is permissible to have iftaar with non-Muslims if there is a shar’i reason for doing so, such as calling them to the true religion, or softening their hearts towards Islam, etc, which are what is hoped for if they come and eat iftaar at the tables set up for communal iftaar, as happens in some countries. But if it is done just to be friendly towards them and enjoy their company, this is a dangerous matter, because the principle of al-wala’ wa’l-bara’ (befriending the believers and showing enmity towards the disbelievers) is one of the basic principles of Islam, and one of the most important duties of the believers. This principle is referred to in a number of verses in the Book of Allaah and ahaadeeth of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), for example:
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“You (O Muhammad) will not find any people who believe in Allaah and the Last Day, making friendship with those who oppose Allaah and His Messenger (Muhammad), even though they were their fathers or their sons or their brothers or their kindred (people). For such He has written Faith in their hearts, and strengthened them with Rooh (proofs, light and true guidance) from Himself. And He will admit them to Gardens (Paradise) under which rivers flow, to dwell therein (forever). Allaah is pleased with them, and they with Him. They are the party of Allaah. Verily, it is the party of Allaah that will be the successful”
[al-Mujaadilah 58:22]
“O you who believe! Take not for Awliyaa’ (protectors or helpers or friends) disbelievers instead of believers. Do you wish to offer Allaah a manifest proof against yourselves?”
[al-Nisa’ 4:144]
“O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as Awliyaa’ (friends, protectors, helpers), they are but Awliyaa’ of each other. And if any amongst you takes them (as Awliyaa’), then surely, he is one of them. Verily, Allaah guides not those people who are the Zaalimoon (polytheists and wrongdoers and unjust)”
[al-Maa'idah 5:51]
“O you who believe! Take not as (your) Bitaanah (advisors, consultants, protectors, helpers, friends) those outside your religion (pagans, Jews, Christians, and hypocrites) since they will not fail to do their best to corrupt you. They desire to harm you severely. Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, but what their breasts conceal is far worse. Indeed We have made plain to you the Ayaat (proofs, evidences, verses) if you understand”
[Aal ‘Imraan 3:118]
Based on this, the ruling on gathering with these people for iftaar depends on the intention. And Allaah knows best.

Religion of peace and tolerance my ass. Islamists have no plans of assimilating into society. The plan is to immigrate, infiltrate, seperate, terrorize, conquer. Expect to see seperatist movements in the near future. Western countries had better ditch the politically correct nonsense and prepare. Read about the Pact of Umar.

Islamic Imperialism - Bid'ah and offensive fighting

2006-01-26T11:47:00.000-08:00

Muslims will always try to portray the nature of islam as being oppressed and persecuted. When someone scrutinizes political islam, muslims will hide behind the religious component of islam and scream 'religious persecution'. That way, they can create an illusion that their political party and its motives are above scrutiny. No political party or religious entity is above scrutiny.

The concept of monotheistic theocracy is a one party state ruled by so-called 'divine laws' and is entirely imperialistic. Islam and its imperialism are rooted in the primitive notion that man is incapable of seeing, evaluating and innovating his own plight on earth. With this islamic school of thought, slavery would be legal because slavery is not condemned, abolished nor made outright illegal in the quran, sunnah or sharia law. To abolish slavery would be considered Bid'ah (an innovation that is not covered in the quran, innovation that is considered a deviation from Muhammads teachings). Bid'ah is not exclusive to rules and etiquette of prayer. Bid'ah spans politics, ethics, social code and conduct etc. A good modern day example of Bid'ah would be if women should be allowed to vote or drive a car in Saudi Arabia. The reason women cant do these things are that it is considered haraam (illegal) for a woman to travel alone or have a say in political matters. Another example is a woman leading a prayer session. Remember the big stink about that in recent current events? (It would be Bid'ah to allow that and it would be blasphemous to 'gods' laws).
Welcome to primitive islamic politics. Concepts of human rights, equality, gender equality, religious freedom and freedom of speech are considered bid'ah and illegal. Yet all many people know about islam is that is a 'religion of peace' and has been somehow hijacked by those who dont truly understand it. Hardly.
Now, remember the primitive concepts that arent allowed to be changed, notice them in action today in the modern world and examine the source of how and why this is spreading.A man came to the Prophet and asked, "O Allah's Apostle! What kind of fighting is in Allah's cause? (I ask this), for some of us fight because of being enraged and angry and some for the sake of his pride and haughtiness." The Prophet raised his head (as the questioner was standing) and said, "He who fights so that Allah's Word (Islam) should be superior, then he fights in Allah's cause."
http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/bukhari/003.sbt.html#001.003.125

Under the heading of: "The duties and responsibilities of the Khalifa" Note that the concept of bid'ah (bid'a) is at the top of the list: Safeguard Islam in its original form, and to protect against the introduction of new things (bid'a) into Islam. source
Now lets take a look at one of muhammads little 'parties': Apparently, muhammad and his gang went out and acquired some "excellent Arab women" as slaves. They wanted to have sex with them, but were concerned that impregnating the girls would ruin their value on the slave market. Perplexed, they decided to ask muhammad what they should do. They asked him if they should 'pull out' before ejaculating to prevent this. Muhammad replies: Dont worry, "The child does not come from all the liquid (sermen) - look at 3381 -(semen in english). Read more about "Muhammads Excellent Adventure" starting at 3371 here: http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/muslim/008.smt.html#008.3371

When people say "Islamics want to take the world back to the 7th century". They arent joking.

When muslims or islamic apologists say "Islam is a religion of peace' or "fighting in islam is only in defense" They are lying and assuming that the people they are talking to don't have any knowlege of the quran, hadith and sharia law (which would be most people).
---
This statement below proves that the 'religion of peace and tolerance' is tuqya (lies, spin doctoring).
---
Narrated Abu Huraira (ra) Allah's Apostle (saw) said, "I have been ordered to fight with the people till they say, "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah," and whoever says, "None has the right to be worshipped except Allah", his life and property will be saved by me except for Islamic law, and his account will be with Allah (either to punish him or forgive him)." (Sahih Bukhari, p.414, vol.1)
The above hadith states clearly that Jihaad is an obligation ordained by Allah. The obligation is binding until everyone professes that there is no God (worthy of worship) but Allah. The understanding of this is that either the unbelievers accept Iman or surrender themselves to live under the system of the Believers. source

In summary, the message of this post is that:
1) According to muslims, 'Man' cannot innovate 'muhammad's laws' (muslims call it 'god's laws')

2) The islamic concept of muhammads laws cannot be scrutinized because muslims will hide behind man-made laws of religious freedoms and declare it persecution. They hide behind and utilize the man-made laws to denounce man-made laws. They use religious freedom laws to denounce religious freedom. Hypocracy abound.

3) Remember that 'gods' laws never condemned, nor abolished slavery (in any of slavery's historic variations), in any islamic text. Is this a fitting stance for something known as a 'religion of peace', or 'god's final message to mankind'? Muhammad recognized the value of human trafficking to subjugate, enslave, terrorize and strike fear into non-muslims and also to provide a commodity/bargaining chip for muslims to promote their primitive politics. Driven by the lure of 80% of war spoils (8.41) and pleasure and materialistic reward in paradise. When discussing this with muslims, they will always try to portray slavery as a 'western thing', a 'christian thing' or an 'American thing', even though slavery existed long before any of them existed!. Final message to mankind? All Knowing? Most merciful?

4) Islam is an entirely imperialistic and offensive (as opposed to defensive) in its motives.

Note article 8 of the Hamas Covenant:Allah is its target, the Prophet is its model, the Koran its constitution: Jihad is its path and death for the sake of Allah is the loftiest of its wishes.

Barbary Pirates

The barbary pirates were muslim pirates who in the Red Sea, imitated the caravan raiding tactics of muhammad in Arabia. Below is a paragraph from an article about them from the Enyclopedia of Islam:

~With the passage of time the aw§sim grew bolder, ranging as far afield as the coasts of Kutch and Kathiawar, the ports of the 0a'ramawt and the lower reaches of the Red Sea. They sailed in squadrons of up to twenty dhows, taking their prizes by closing alongside, grappling and boarding. As often as not they would put the entire crew of a captured vessel to the sword—generally amid clamorous avowals of religious fervour. Women, children and slaves taken captive were afterwards either distributed among their captors or, in the case of the first two, held for later ransom. A fifth of all booty taken was reserved for eventual consignment to the Sa#ådÊ im§m at Dir#iyya [q.v.], the Wahh§bi capital. A good portion of the remainder was customarily disposed of at BaÈrayn, which served as the principal clearing-house for the proceeds of §simÊ piracy.~

Note that 20% of the booty was sent to the Imam / mosque at the Wahhabi capitol in Arabia (now Saudi Arabia) as specified by muhammad in the quran verse 8.041 which in part states:~And know that out of all the booty that ye may acquire (in war), a fifth share is assigned to Allah,- and to the Messenger, and to near relatives, orphans, the needy, and the wayfarer,~

When you hear a muslim say "It's against Islam to kill women and children in fighting". There are two key pieces of information they arent telling you. They don't tell you that fighting in islam is to make islam superior, and they also don't tell you that the reason women and children aren't killed is because dead women and children have no value on the slave market. In the process of propogating islam, women and children are a commodity. Women and children were passed out to reward the fighters, with the prettiest going to the best fighters or the highest ranking officers. The age of the children didnt seem to be a problem as muhammad himself had a six year old wife and several pretty slave girls acquired this exact way.

Aisha - Ayesha the Child Wife of Muhammad

2006-01-21T12:30:00.000-08:00

To understand this post, we have to make note of 2 specific verses from the quran:
quran 33.49: O you who believe! When you marry believing women, and then divorce them before you have sexual intercourse with them, no 'Iddah [divorce prescribed period, see (V.65:4)] have you to count in respect of them. So give them a present, and set them free i.e. divorce, in a handsome manner.
---
The word 'Iddah mentioned here is similar to alimony, yet it is more like 'severance pay' from an employer. It is a one time payment upon the dissolving of the marriage. 'Iddah is only necessary (according to quran 33.49 above) if the marriage has been consummated through sexual intercourse. Now notice below how quran 65.4 specifies that this rule applies even if the female is pre-pubescent. This also brings up the question that their rape is permissable as spoils of war per quran 4.24 . Also notice how the translation below refers to 'your women' and then refers to pre-pubescent girls in the same statement. Little girls are women? This verse is really referring to 'females in general'.

quran 65.4 - And those of your women as have passed the age of monthly courses, for them the 'Iddah (prescribed period), if you have doubts (about their periods), is three months, and for those who have no courses [(i.e. they are still immature) their 'Iddah (prescribed period) is three months likewise, except in case of death] . And for those who are pregnant (whether they are divorced or their husbands are dead), their 'Iddah (prescribed period) is until they deliver (their burdens), and whosoever fears Allah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make his matter easy for him.

Key point of quran 4.24 - Also (forbidden are) women already married, except those (captives and slaves) whom your right hands possess. Thus has Allah ordained for you.

Also remember that chronologically, the sura numbers (in this case 33 and 65) arent based on anything other than their length. The suras (chapters) are placed in the bookform quran based on largest to smallest. In this case sura 33 does come before sura 65 chronologically as well as numerically. I make this point to show that the 'scholars' of islam I quote below are well aware of the advocation of sex with pre-pubescent girls, and muslims believe this is acceptable conduct today:

From the Tafsir of quran 65:4: source: http://www.altafsir.com/ Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs

And for such of your women as despair of menstruation) because of old age, (if ye doubt) about their waiting period, (their period (of waiting) shall be three months) upon which another man asked: “O Messenger of Allah! What about the waiting period of those who do not have menstruation because they are too young?” (along with those who have it not) because of young age, their waiting period is three months. Another man asked: “what is the waiting period for those women who are pregnant?” (And for those with child) i.e. those who are pregnant, (their period) their waiting period (shall be till they bring forth their burden) their child. (And whosoever keepeth his duty to Allah) and whoever fears Allah regarding what he commands him, (He maketh his course easy for him) He makes his matter easy; and it is also said this means: He will help him to worship Him well.

Tafsir al-Jalalayn source: http://www.altafsir.com/ 65.4

And [as for] those of your women who (read allā'ī or allā'i in both instances) no longer expect to menstruate, if you have any doubts, about their waiting period, their prescribed [waiting] period shall be three months, and [also for] those who have not yet menstruated, because of their young age, their period shall [also] be three months - both cases apply to other than those whose spouses have died; for these [latter] their period is prescribed in the verse: they shall wait by themselves for four months and ten [days] [Q. 2:234]. And those who are pregnant, their term, the conclusion of their prescribed [waiting] period if divorced or if their spouses be dead, shall be when they deliver. And whoever fears God, He will make matters ease for him, in this world and in the Hereafter.

Tafsir of Ibn Kathir 65.4: source
The same for the young, who have not reached the years of menstruation. Their `Iddah is three months like those in menopause.

(65.4) And the 'Iddat for the girl before puberty is three months (in the above Verse). source # 63

There is the proof that the often disputed 'age of Aisha' from the hadith is verified in the quran. The reason that the hadiths stating that Aisha was 6 at marriage and 9 at consumation are sahih (authentic) was proven above in the references to 33.49 and 65.4. Even worse, quran 8.41 offers an 80% incentive plan to get muslims to fight and obtain 'whatever they gain as spoils of war'. When asked if this includes females, along came quran 4.24 which says yes. Think about it. Little girls offered as incentive as spoils of war and in 'paradise'. Promoting violence and pandering to lust for profit.

Notice this statement from the tafsir of quran 36.55:

Indeed today the inhabitants of Paradise are busy (read fī shughlin or fī
shughulin), [oblivious] to what the inhabitants of the Fire are suffering,
[busy] delighting in pleasures such as deflowering virgins - not busy
with anything wearisome, as there is no toil in Paradise - rejoicing, blissful
(fākihūna is a second predicate of inna, the first being fī shugulin,
'busy'); source: al jalalalyn 36.55

Below is from: http://islam.tc/ask-imam/view.php?q=6737

According to the Shari’ah, if a girl is a minor (did not attain puberty), she may be given in marriage by her father. When she attains puberty, she has the right to maintain the marriage or discontinue the marriage. There is no age limit to be intimate with one’s wife even if she is a minor.

Volume 7, Book 62, Number 63: source #63 'And for those who have no courses (i.e. they are still immature). (65.4) And the 'Iddat for the girl before puberty is three months (in the above Verse).

By Ali Sina

The thought of an old man becoming aroused by a child is one of the most disturbing thoughts that makes us cringe as it reminds us of pedophilia and the most despicable people. It is difficult to accept that the Holy Prophet married Aisha when she was 6-years-old and consummated his marriage with her when she was 9. He was then, 54 years old.
Sahih Muslim Book 008, Number 3310:
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) married me when I was six years old, and I was admitted to his house when I was nine years old.
Sahih Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 64
Narrated 'Aisha:that the Prophet married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old, and then she remained with him for nine years (i.e., till his death).
Sahih Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 65
Narrated 'Aisha:that the Prophet married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old. Hisham said: I have been informed that 'Aisha remained with the Prophet for nine years (i.e. till his death)." what you know of the Quran (by heart)'
Sahih Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 88
Narrated 'Ursa:The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with 'Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death).

Some Muslims claim that it was Abu Bakr who approached Muhammad asking him to marry his daughter. This is of course not true and here is the proof.

Sahih Bukhari 7.18 Narrated 'Ursa:The Prophet asked Abu Bakr for 'Aisha's hand in marriage. Abu Bakr said "But I am your brother." The Prophet said, "You are my brother in Allah's religion and His Book, but she (Aisha) is lawful for me to marry."

Arabs were a primitive lot with little rules to abide. Yet they had some code of ethics that they honored scrupulously. For example, although they fought all the year round, they abstained from hostilities during certain holy months of the year. They also considered Mecca to be a holy city and did not make war against it. A adopted son’s wife was deemed to be a daughter in law and they would not marry her. Also it was customary that close friends made a pact of brotherhood and considered each other as true brothers. The Prophet disregarded all of these rules anytime they stood between him and his interests or whims.
Abu Bakr and Muhammad had pledged to each other to be brothers. So according to their costoms Ayesha was supposed to be like a niece to the Holy Prophet. Yet that did not stop him to ask her hand even when she was only six years old. But this moral relativist Prophet would use the same excuse to reject a woman he did not like.

Sahih Bukhari V.7, B62, N. 37
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:It was said to the Prophet, "Won't you marry the daughter of Hamza?" He said, "She is my foster niece (brother's daughter). "
Hamza and Abu Bakr both were the foster brothers of Muhammad. But Ayesha must have been too pretty for the Prophet to abide by the codes of ethics and custom.
In the following Hadith he confided to Ahesha that he had dreamed of her before soliciting her from her father.
Sahih Bukhari 9.140
Narrated 'Aisha:Allah's Apostle said to me, "You were shown to me twice (in my dream) before I married you. I saw an angel carrying you in a silken piece of cloth, and I said to him, 'Uncover (her),' and behold, it was you. I said (to myself), 'If this is from Allah, then it must happen.' Then you were shown to me, the angel carrying you in a silken piece of cloth, and I said (to him), 'Uncover (her), and behold, it was you. I said (to myself), 'If this is from Allah, then it must happen.' "

Whether Muhammad had actually such dream or he just said it to please Ayesha is not the point. What matters here is that it indicates that Ayesaha was a baby being “carried” by an angel when the Prophet dreamed of her.
There are numerous hadithes that explicitly reveal the age of Ayesha at the time of her marriage. Here are some of them.
Sahih Bukhari 5.236.Narrated Hisham's father:Khadija died three years before the Prophet departed to Medina. He stayed there for two years or so and then he married 'Aisha when she was a girl of six years of age, and he consumed that marriage when she was nine years old.
Sahih Bukhari 5.234Narrated Aisha:The Prophet engaged me when I was a girl of six (years). We went to Medina and stayed at the home of Bani-al-Harith bin Khazraj. Then I got ill and my hair fell down. Later on my hair grew (again) and my mother, Um Ruman, came to me while I was playing in a swing with some of my girl friends. She called me, and I went to her, not knowing what she wanted to do to me. She caught me by the hand and made me stand at the door of the house. I was breathless then, and when my breathing became Allright, she took some water and rubbed my face and head with it. Then she took me into the house. There in the house I saw some Ansari women who said, "Best wishes and Allah's Blessing and a good luck." Then she entrusted me to them and they prepared me (for the marriage). Unexpectedly Allah's Apostle came to me in the forenoon and my mother handed me over to him, and at that time I was a girl of nine years of age.
And in another Hadith we read.
Sunan Abu-Dawud Book 41, Number 4915, also Number 4916 and Number 4917 Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin:The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) married me when I was seven or six. When we came to Medina, some women came. according to Bishr's version: Umm Ruman came to me when I was swinging. They took me, made me prepared and decorated me. I was then brought to the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him), and he took up cohabitation with me when I was nine. She halted me at the door, and I burst into laughter.
In the above hadith we read that Ayesha was swinging, This is a play of little girls not grown up people. The following Hadith is particularly interesting because it shows that Ayesha was so small that was not aware what was going on when the Holy Prophet “surprised” her by going to her.
Sahih Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 90 Narrated Aisha:When the Prophet married me, my mother came to me and made me enter the house (of the Prophet) and nothing surprised me but the coming of Allah's Apostle to me in the forenoon.
Must have been quite a surprise! But the following is also interesting because it demonstrates that she was just a kid playing with her dolls. Pay attention to what the interpreter wrote in the parenthesis. (She was a little girl, not yet reached the age of puberty)
Sahih Bukhari Volume 8, Book 73, Number 151
Narrated 'Aisha:I used to play with the dolls in the presence of the Prophet, and my girl friends also used to play with me. When Allah's Apostle used to enter (my dwelling place) they used to hide themselves, but the Prophet would call them to join and play with me. (The playing with the dolls and similar images is forbidden, but it was allowed for 'Aisha at that time, as she was a little girl, not yet reached the age of puberty.) (Fateh-al-Bari page 143, Vol.13)
Sahih Muslim Book 008, Number 3311'
A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) married her when she was seven years old, and he was taken to his house as a bride when she was nine, and her dolls were with her; and when he (the Holy Prophet) died she was eighteen years old.
The holy Prophet died when he was 63. So he must have married Ayesha when he as 51 and went to her when he was 54.
Sahih Bukhari Volume 8, Book 73, Number 33
Narrated 'Aisha:I never felt so jealous of any woman as I did of Khadija, though she had died three years before the Prophet married me, and that was because I heard him mentioning her too often, and because his Lord had ordered him to give her the glad tidings that she would have a palace in Paradise, made of Qasab and because he used to slaughter a sheep and distribute its meat among her friends.
Khadija died in December of 619 AD. That is two years before Hijra. At that time the Prophet was 51-years-old. So in the same year that Khadija died the prophet married Ayesha and took her to his home 3 years later, i.e. one year after Hijra. But until she grow up he married Umm Salama.
In another part Ayesha claims that as long as she remembers her parents were always Muslims.
Sahih Bukhari Volume 5, Book 58, Number 245
Narrated 'Aisha:(the wife of the Prophet) I never remembered my parents believing in any religion other than the true religion (i.e. Islam),

If Ayesha was older i.e. 16 or 18 as some Muslims claim, she would have remembered the religion of her parents prior to becoming Muslims. Now someone may still claim that all these hadithes are lies. People are free to say whatever they want. But truth is clear like the Sun for those who have eyes.
No sane person would be aroused by a 9-year-old child. Decent people wince at the thought of this shameful act. Yet some Muslims deny them. The question is why so many followers of Muhammad would fabricate so many false hadithes about the age of Ayisha, which incidentally confirm each other?I can tell you why people would attribute false miracles to their prophet. Babis believe that Bab started to praise God as soon as he was born. There is a Hadith like that also about Muhammad. Christians believe the birth of the Christ was miraculous and the Jews believe Moses opened a dry passageway through the Red Sea. Believers love to hear these stories. It confirms their faith. There are many absurd miracles attributed to Muhammad in the hadiths, despite the fact that he denied being able to perform any miracles. But why should anyone fabricate a lie about the age of Ayisha that would portray his Prophet as a pedophile?

Fatwa (Real Media audio Arabic. Right click / 'save target as' to save)

* Praise be to Allah and peace be upon the one after whom there is no [further] prophet. After the permanent committee for the scientific research and fatwahs (religious decrees) reviewed the question presented to the grand Mufti Abu Abdullah Muhammad Al-Shemary, the question forwarded to the committee by the grand scholar of the committee with reference number 1809 issued on 3/8/1421 (Islamic calendar). The inquirer asked the following: It has become wide spread these days, and especially during weddings, the habit of mufa’khathat of the children (mufa’khathat literally translated means "placing between the thighs" which means placing the male member between the thighs of a child). What is the opinion of scholars knowing full well that the prophet, the peace and prayer of Allah be upon him, also practiced the "thighing" of Aisha - the mother of believers - may Allah be please with her. After the committee studied the issue, they gave the following reply: It has not been the practice of the Muslims throughout the centuries to resort to this unlawful practice that has come to our countries from pornographic movies that the kufar (infidels) and enemies of Islam send. As for the prophet, peace and prayer of Allah be upon him, thighing his fiancée Aisha. She was six years of age and he could not have intercourse with her due to her small age. That is why [the prophet] peace and prayer of Allah be upon him placed HIS [MALE] MEMBER BETWEEN HER THIGHS AND MASSAGED IT SOFTLY, as the apostle of Allah had control of his [male] member not like other believers..

Islam Q&A (islam-qa.com #22442) http://www.islam-qa.com/index.php?ref=22442&ln=eng

Marrying a young girl before she reaches the age of adolescence is permitted in sharee’ah;
indeed it was narrated that there was scholarly consensus on this point.

(a) Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And those of your women as have passed the age of monthly courses, for them the ‘Iddah (prescribed period), if you have doubt (about their periods), is three months; and for those who have no courses [(i.e. they are still immature) their ‘Iddah (prescribed period) is three months likewise” [al-Talaaq 65:4]

In this verse we see that Allaah has made the ‘iddah in the case of divorce of a girl who does not have periods – because she is young and has not yet reached puberty – three months. This clearly indicates that Allaah has made this a valid marriage.

(b) It was narrated from ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) married her when she was six years old, he consummated the marriage with her when she was nine and she stayed with him for nine years.
(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 4840; Muslim, 1422)

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) married ‘Aa’ishah when she was six years old and consummated the marriage when she was nine.”

(Narrated by al-Bukhaari and Muslim; Muslim says ‘seven years’)

The fact that it is permissible to marry a young girl does not mean that it is permissible to have intercourse with her; rather that should not be done until she is able for it. For that reason the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) delayed the consummation of his marriage to ‘Aa’ishah. Al-Nawawi said: With regard to the wedding-party of a young married girl at the time of consummating the marriage, if the husband and the guardian of the girl agree upon something that will not cause harm to the young girl, then that may be done. If they disagree, then Ahmad and Abu ‘Ubayd say that one a girl reaches the age of nine then the marriage may be consummated even without her consent, but that does not apply in the case of who is younger. Maalik, al-Shaafa’i and Abu Haneefah said: the marriage may be consummated when the girl is able for intercourse, which varies from one girl to another, so no age limit can be set. This is the correct view. There is nothing in the hadeeth of ‘Aa’ishah to set an age limit, or to forbid that in the case of a girl who is able for it before the age of nine, or to allow it in the case of a girl who is not able for it and has reached the age of nine. Al-Dawoodi said: ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) was reached physical maturity (at the time when her marriage was consummated).
Sharh Muslim, 9/206
It is preferable for a guardian not to marry off his daughter when she is still young unless there is a valid reason for that.

(Notice how in the above, "Age of consent" in islam pertains to neither, as there is no age and consent isnt a requirement.)

Al-Nawawi said:
It should be noted that al-Shaafa’i and his companions said: It is preferable for fathers and grandfathers not to marry off a virgin until she reaches the age of puberty and they ask her permission, lest she end up in a marriage that she dislikes. What they said does not go against the hadeeth of ‘Aa’ishah, because what they meant is that they should not marry her off before she reaches puberty if there is no obvious interest to be served that they fear will be missed out on if they delay it, as in the hadeeth of ‘Aa’ishah. In that case it is preferable to go ahead with the marriage because the father is enjoined to take care of his child’s interests and not to let a good opportunity slip away.
And Allaah knows best.
Sharh Muslim, 9/206.

Islamic websites claim 'Muhammad never struck a woman'. Well here's islamic historical evidence that he struck a very young girl (Aisha): I said: Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be ransom for you, and then I told him (the whole story). He said: Was it the darkness (of your shadow) that I saw in front of me? I said: Yes. He struck me on the chest which caused me pain source #2127

ISLAM AND THE WEST: THE THREAT, THE DEFENSE

2006-01-20T15:46:00.000-08:00

ISLAM AND THE WEST: THE THREAT, THE DEFENSE
by Srdja Trifkovic
Al Kresta is a broadcaster, journalist and author who runs one of the liveliest and most popular Catholic talk shows in the country. Currently heard on some thirty stations, Kresta in the Afternoon looks at current affairs through the lens of Scripture. Its guests have included Mother Angelica, William Bennett, Pat Buchanan, Michael Novak, Judge Robert Bork, Jerry Falwell, Steve Allen, Cal Thomas, Avery Cardinal Dulles, Chuck Colson, Ken Starr, James Earl Ray, Mary Higgins Clark, C. Everett Koop, and Ollie North. Last month (Sept. 9) Mr. Kresta interviewed Dr. Trifkovic on the nature of Islam and its impact on the West and the rest. Here is the transcript of that program.
KRESTA: What is the relationship between traditional, historic Islam, and people like Osama bin Laden? Is there danger inherent in the spread of Islam, just like there was danger inherent in the spread of communism and nazism? Is this just a small bunch of politically motivated Islamist or are they in fact the faithful cutting edge? Who defines the soul of Islam? Joining us now is Serge Trifkovic. He is the author of The Sword of the Prophet-Islam: History, Theology, Impact on the World. He is foreign affairs editor of Chronicles . . . Is Islam inherently violent, imperialistic, and must it dominate the world?
TRIFKOVIC: The answer is "yes." It is unpleasant having to say so, since one is naturally inclined in today's liberal, multicultural West to award each creed and each world outlook the equality of esteem in a mutual celebration of our beautiful diversity. But since you put the question as starkly as you did, the answer is "yes."
KRESTA: Does this go back to its founding, or is it a tradition that developed over time. The canonical material that the Muslims have to deal with-the Koran, the Hadith, the life of the Prophet and early Muslim communities-is it that material which encourages imperialism, the use of the sword, and eventually world expansion and domination?
TRIFKOVIC: The terms of the relationship between Muhammad, the founder of the cult, and his followers with the "infidels" were clearly set in his lifetime, particularly with the destruction of three Jewish tribes in the city of Medina, where Muhammad had established a theocratic statelet. The first two tribes he expelled and simply sequestered their property. That was a prime example of ethnic cleansing, to use contemporary terminology. To the third tribe, Banu Quraiza, he offered conversion or death. Obviously, well versed in the Old Testament theology and faithful to the Torah, these Jews were somewhat reluctant to submit themselves to the mumbo-jumbo that this illiterate Arabian shepherd was offering to them. The result was decapitation of nine hundred grown-up men followed by mass rape of women that same night. Muhammad chose as his concubine one of them, whose husband and father were killed hours earlier before her own eyes. The children were enslaved.
It is important to remember that in all primary texts-the Koran, the Traditions of the Prophet (the Hadith), or the example of the so-called "Four Rightly-Guided Caliphs"-the early successors to Muhammad-we have a certain pattern that has been replicated for thirteen hundred years. The world is divided into the world of faith, where Islam is triumphant, and Dar-ul-Harb, the world of war, where it is not. It is the Allah-ordained destiny of the Muslims to fight until the entire world succumbs to the faith and the entire planet bows to Allah, kisses the carpet. As you've mentioned in the intro, the similarity with the mindset of communism, with its insistence on the global triumph of the proletariat as the precondition for the end of history-the secular parousia of the classless society where state and money will cease to exist-is remarkable. Furthermore, if we are looking for historical parallels, the one with Nazism is even more apt because German National Socialism had found a willing ally in Islam, in the person of the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem who not only went to Berlin in 1941 and raised the banner of Jihad against the British, but also materially helped in the recruitment of Chechens, Kosovo Albanians and Bosnian Muslims into the SS, where they committed all the usual, to-be-expected atrocities against their Orthodox Christian neighbors.
KRESTA: Let's leap from to the Muslim next door. If what you describe is endemic to Islam, it is part of its basic standards, part of its history, why is it that in, say, Dearborn, Michigan, Muslims that I know do not seem as though they like Osama bin Laden?
TRIFKOVIC: This is a difficult question, especially for a Christian who should and does have the natural tendency to take his neighbors at face value and seeks to discover their humanity. From Muhammad's time onwards, taqiyya-duplicity-is openly preached in Islam as the preferred and condoned tactic of softening resistance of non-Muslims to Muslim encroachment. When their numbers are low, with single-digit percentages, when they are only establishing themselves in an area, they will project an acceptable face. One may compare that to the early Muhammad, in Mecca: spirituality, tolerance, and all those Kuranic verses that were to be abrogated later on when he moved to Medina.
For a Christian the real task is to help our fellow humans who are trapped in Islam and to help them become free. But the more pressing task than that is to help our fellows former Christians, or post-Christians, to become aware of who they are and to become proud of their civilizational and spiritual legacy, because that's the only defense we have. If we fall into the pattern of post-Christian hedonistic and functionally nihilistic post-modern West as we have it today, our goose is cooked-demographically, spiritually, materially, and politically. One can almost not blame Muslims for doing what they are doing, immigrating into the West, procreating at five times the rates of Western nations, because, to paraphrase Martin Luther, they kann nicht anders, they cannot do otherwise. But we do have ourselves to blame for having fallen victim to the putrid, horrible, lukewarm ideology of multiculturalism that cannot be the basis of defense of anything at all. It is a form of anti-culturalism that opens the floodgates of hell.
KRESTA: But can Muslims work together across national boundaries? There's this pan-Islamic ideal, but if it wasn't for the issue of Israel in the Middle East, wouldn't the Muslim nations be fighting one another?
TRIFKOVIC: The Muslim nations have been fighting one another ever since the earliest days. If you look at the birth of the Shiite sect of Islam, it is rooted in the intra-Islamic civil war that was raging in the second half of the seventh century. But at the same time when it comes to the perception of the outside world as the Great Satan, the enemy, the World of War, the infidels, with whom according to the Koran a Muslim must not be friends or else he becomes worse than they, we have to realize that this mindset unites the Muslims regardless of whether they are in Indonesia, or immigrants into Dearborn or Buffalo or west London. What unites them is the abhorrence of the Other. Since Islam is a violent cult [characterized] by the fundamental lack of love, agape, it will always find the uniting sources of common sentiment and belonging, the glue that bonds that group together, in the way that the members of a gang in west L.A. find their common bond: through animosity vis-а-vis the outside group that defines the insiders. They do not have a true identity because there is no real content: Islam is a totalitarian ideology based on hate and violence. Therefore, the only way it can find adherents willing to sacrifice their lives in what they perceive as a higher cause is to have the Enemy, and that Enemy is the Christian, the European, the more successful civilization that has given us the cathedrals, the cantatas, the icons, the Shakespeares and Goethes. None of that can be produced in the Islamic world. It has always been good only at producing arid deserts.
KRESTA: I thought that there was a "golden age" for Islam?
TRIFKOVIC: We keep hearing from the apologists, the Karen Armstrongs and John Espositos of this world, that Cordoba, or Granada, or Baghdad at a certain point were eminently capable of producing civilization and were fit for a civilized person to live in. Well, this happened in spite of Islam, not because of it. Most of their prominent names in philosophy, mathematics, and speculative thought were in fact Persians, Jews, and Christians. Claiming that the "golden age of Islam" was due to Islam is just like saying that the fact that scholarship on Pushkin, Dostoevsky and Tolstoy survived in Stalin's Russia was due to Bolshevism.
KRESTA: Let me ask a few geopolitical questions. What do you make of the United States' continued friendly relations with Saudi Arabia, given the fact that the Wahabi sect of Islam dominates the Kingdom and tremendous amount of Saudi money goes to create these schools where kids are indoctrinated so that we end up producing more Islamic warriors? What is the U.S. to do?
TRIFKOVIC: The nature of the regime in Saudi Arabia is inherently unstable. The pressure on the admittedly unpleasant and kleptocratic royal family to reform and become more democratic is likely to result in the Teheran syndrome: the revolution of rising expectations among the populus, the toppling of the regime, and the coming to power of people who'd look upon Osama bin Laden as their model. So it's the lesser of two evils. While I hold no brief for the eminently ugly Saudi Wahabis who run the show, I have to warn that any attempt at democratization of the Middle East-the neoconservatives' favorite phrase-will mean further Islamization of the Middle East. There isn't a single traditionally Muslim country in the world where, if you had real democracy, political Islam would not triumph. The Jihadists of different shapes and colors, the Muslim Brotehrood in Egypt, or Ayatollah al-Sistani in Iraq, or al-Qaeda in Saudi Arabia, would be elected by democratic means. Then we'd have a similar situation to that in Germany after January 30, 1933: the will of the people produces an unpleasant political result, bringing people who want to fight you to power.
The United States should treat the Middle East as just another spot on the map. It is strategically damaging to be obsessive about the Middle East, to treat it as particularly important to the American psyche. We should treat it as an unpleasant part of the world where people have long-standing disputes over land, resources, and various metaphysical claims. We should treat those claims strictly on their merits. The identification of the American interest with a single country in the region-and the country that has been discriminating not only against the Muslims but against the Christians as well for the 50-plus years of its existence-is unhealthy. I support the survival of the state of Israel on geopolitical grounds, but not on some heretical grounds of confusion of the modern state of Israel, secular as it is, with the Israel of the Old Testament. To any Christian traditionalist the zany, insane mumbo-jumbo of some of our more excitable Protestant brethren is offensive. It is also damaging in terms of the political impact.
KRESTA: It has been said that the Eastern Orthodox were better off under Muslim rule than they were under Catholic crusaders. What's the story there?
TRIFKOVIC: It is indeed remarkable that this year we are remembering the 800th anniversary of one of the great crimes in Christendom-and by the way, as an Eastern Orthodox I believe we are talking about one civilization. The folly of the West is 800 years old this year: the sack of Constantinople during the infamous Fourth Crusade. The Franks did not understand that New Rome, the Orthodox Constantinople, was the guardian and protector of the West. The treachery of the Crusaders in 1204 opened the way for the Ottoman onslaught against Europe that did not stop until it reached Vienna in 1683. And today, the rampant Serbophobia-and let me declare my interest, I am Serbian by birth and an American by naturalization-the Serbophobia reflects the same folly on a much larger scale. The consequence, the price of the emerging post-national global empire, is the obliteration of Christendom, first of all; but secondly, the obliteration of the ethnic identity of peoples, of their special color and uniqueness, and the loss of diversity of the European civilization, both in its North American offshoot and in its heartland. It will result, ultimately, in the demographic replacement of Europeans by North African and Middle Eastern immigrants, and the obliteration of America as we know it into a kind of post-modern Blade Runner-L.A. writ large.
KRESTA: You mention demographics, and they say "demographics is destiny." Are Muslims reproducing significantly more than the allegedly Christian Europe?
TRIFKOVIC: Oh, absolutely, and let us not even pretend that Europe is still Christian. Today there are more Muslims at prayer on Fridays in Britain, France, or Germany than there are Christians at mass or liturgy in those countries on Sundays. To change this, Christian traditionalists belonging to different denominations should forge anti-ecumenical unity.

Slavery In Islam

2006-01-19T17:45:00.000-08:00

I suggest reading this: Abrogation in the Quran

this: Muhammad

and this: Slavery in Islam

islam thievery and slavery

this is from islam.tc/ask-imam
Question 1928

What is the ruling of Slavery in Islam? How can a person be a slave to someone other than Allah SWT.

Please explain the concept of slavery in Islaam. Is it alowed in this day and age? If there was an Islamic government then would slavery be allowed. Please explain te issue in detail as we are not knowledge in the islamic rulings.

Answer 1928
2001-01-19

Allah is our creator and ultimate Master. We, as his creations and slaves are obliged to express our servitude to Him Alone. If one does not submit his slavery to Allah, which of course is far more heinous and unjust to Allah in comparison to the 'injustices' of slavery and sexual relationship, etc. by a human master. Since the human being did not willingly submit to the ultimate Master, Allah, He condemns them to the unwilling slavery of his sincere slaves. And by understanding the powers of a man master, they may understand the Powers of the True Master, Allah. In fact, the concept of slavery should be regarded as a concept of mercy, as the heinous crime of rejecting Allah as our Master demands immediate terminating of life. Allah, our kind Master, has granted an opportunity to his very negators to enjoy a second chance of life and redirect it to the right avenue by submitting to Him as the ultimate Master. and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best Mufti Ebrahim Desai FATWA DEPT.

Woo Hoo!!! Keep letting those immigrants pour in! Nothing like some good ol 7th century superstition to make a true 'mutli-cultural' society. I'm sure your future generations will thank you for selling them out to these zealots.

Muslims can own muslim slaves:

quran 2.221 - Marry not idolatresses until they believe; a slave who believeth is better than an idolatress, though she please you more. And wed not your daughters to idolaters until they believe; for a slave who is a believer, is than better an idolater, though he please you. They invite to the Fire; but God inviteth to Paradise, and to pardon, if he so will, and maketh clear his signs to men that they may remember.

Death For Apostasy In The Quran & Hadith

2006-01-09T19:30:00.000-08:00

UPDATE: Notice the horrible message that is being sent in quran chapter18:

Killing Of The Boy

Starting at 18.65, we see that the one who killed the boy was someone who according to quran 18.65 was:

Then they found one of Our slaves, unto whom We had bestowed mercy from Us,
and whom We had taught knowledge from Us.

This is alleging that this person will make all the right decisions and set the example straight from 'god' himself.

Read further and you see that during his journey with the character alleged to be Moses (just like all the characters in the quran are the identity theft of someone else, the character of Musa is the identity theft of Moses), you will see that he kills a boy. Why?

quran 18.74 - Then they both proceeded, till they met a boy, he (Khidr) killed
him. Musa (Moses) said: "Have you killed an innocent person who had killed none?
Verily, you have committed a thing "Nukra" (a great Munkar - prohibited, evil,
dreadful thing)!"

Remember this is just a boy. The quran never names the killer of the boy who is allegedly annointed from 'god', yet you'll notice that the Hilali-Khan translation used above supplies the killer with the name "Khidr". Now notice how this person explains why he killed the boy:

quran 18.80 - "And as for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared
lest he should oppress them by rebellion and disbelief.
quran 18.81 - "So we intended that their Lord should change him for them for one better in righteousness and near to mercy.

Wow. Kill even little kids if they dont buy into muhammads lies. This is a good example of the violent zealotry teachings of the quran. This proves the source of:

1: So-called "honor killings"
2: Death for apostasy teachings.
3: Kill non-believers, people who reject the filth of islam.
4: Make special note of quran 9.14 saying this is to be carried out by muslims themselves:

quran 9.14 - Fight against them so that Allah will punish them by your hands and
disgrace them and give you victory over them and heal the breasts of a believing
people

This is how muhammad got people to do his dirty work, with of course the 80% incentive specified in quran 8.41, and that these 'spoils of war' include women, specified in quran 4.24.

This story is very well explained in a youtube video available here.

For reference, this story is in quran 18.65-81.

There is tons more on this blog. Be sure to read it from the beginning here.

http://www.islam-qa.com/index.php?ln=eng&ds=qa&lv=browse&QR=7328&dgn=4

Check this out. The commonly accepted penalty for apostasy (leaving, renouncing faith, changing your mind, converting from etc.) within islam is death. But this is often downplayed/disputed because many muslims/apologists say that there is no basis for it from the quran or hadith. Are they assuming that you may not have the ability to find this information for yourself? Would it tarnish the moniker of the 'religion of peace' for this to be a topic of conversation, especially in the west? Lets examine why this post on an islamic website here is whitewashing ( lying, taqiyya ) about what is actually in the quran and hadith. The reference for the article is given as:

Transcribed from
Review of Religions
April, May 1989
No. 4, 5
Vol. LXXIV

And I suspect that a muslim added some commentary for the web posting. Now let's imagine the resources available to find information in 1989 as compared to 2006. In 1989, if you had an interest in exploring this topic, the resources available to you would be severely limited, tedious and intricate to explore. Personally I find the website posting from alislam.org to be a typical blatantly misleading example of what is actually in the quran. Lets examine what they are saying:
~~~~~
begin quote
The fair name of Islam has recently been darkened by the murderous directive issued by certain Muslim leaders and endorsed by their supporters that Salman Rusdhie must be assassinated as a result of his making blasphemous remarks about the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in his book Satanic Verses. No doubt Salman Rushdie has been guilty of blasphemy but this is not an offence for which the death penalty is prescribed by Islam. Not at all. No such instruction is contained in the holy Quran and it is a significant point to bear in mind that not one protagonist demanding his assassination has quoted a single verse from the Holy Quran as a basis of authority.

and

There is no mention in the Holy Quran or anywhere else of any punishment for an apostate which may be meted out to him by any other person.
end quote
~~~~~
This goes on and on in the article until you start to believe it and take their word for it right? They even throw in the typical 'No compulsion in religion' verse.

We already discussed the killing of the boy, now lets look at 4.089 from the quran:
~~~~~
They long that ye should disbelieve even as they disbelieve, that ye may be upon a level (with them). So choose not friends from them till they forsake their homes in the way of Allah; if they turn back (to enmity) then take them and kill them wherever ye find them, and choose no friend nor helper from among them
~~~~~
Let's analyze this verse. Obviously it is dealing with disbelief. Then it addresses conversion to islam (till they forsake their homes in the way of Allah) Then it addresses leaving islam (turn back to enmity). Then it addresses penalty for leaving ( take them and kill them wherever ye find them). This is blatant proof that the quran advocates man to enforce the penalty of death (as opposed to dogmatic penalty ie; heaven/hell) for those it considers to be apostates (turn back to enmity). Does this sound like 'no compulsion'? This is murder. Many other verses in the quran imply that the only penalty is to be enforced on the dogmatic concept of judgement day. It also abrogates (cancels out, contradicts) the smokescreen verse of 'There is no compulsion in religion' and others like it.
---
Here is a more accurate translation that muslims and muslim websites are actively trying to hide: (Remember that before the internet, they had a relatively easy time doing this)

quran 4.89: They wish that you reject Faith, as they have rejected (Faith), and thus that you all become equal (like one another). So take not Auliya' (protectors or friends) from them, till they emigrate in the Way of Allah (to Muhammad SAW). But if they turn back (from Islam), take (hold) of them and kill them wherever you find them, and take neither Auliya' (protectors or friends) nor helpers from them.

---
Here is the tafsir (explanation) of 4.89 from Ibn ‘Abbâs (Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs)

(They long that you should disbelieve) in Muhammad and the Qur’an (even as they disbelieve, that ye may be upon a level (with them)) in following idolatry. (So choose not friends from them) in religion or for seeking assistance and backing (till they forsake their homes) until they believe again and migrate (in the way of Allah) in obedience of Allah; (if they turn back) from faith and migration (then take them) as prisoners (and kill them wherever you find them) in the Sacred Precinct or anywhere else, (and choose no friend) in religion or for seeking assistance and backing (nor helper) a protector (from among them),
---
A true 'god' and a true 'prophet of god' don't need 20% of spoils of war to 'finance their operation' (8.41) Nor do they need people to kill for them. This is pure evil.
Another common theme within the quran is the shunning of non-muslims. As you can imagine, this leads to the non-muslim being ostracized, coerced, intimidated, and subjected to violence. Meanwhile all we hear is it's a 'religion of peace' and the smokescreen verse of 'there's no compulsion in religion'. The true nature of islam is concealed by those who claim 'the terrorists arent true muslims' or 'you're taking it out of context' or 'you need to read it in arabic'. This goes on and on until your chasing your tail like a dog, which is exactly where they want you.

See more commands of coercion and violence from the quran and hadith here.

Remember that the reference article would like you to believe that:
quote
"All Muslims look upon the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, as a perfect exemplar for mankind and they would do well to be moved and guided by his noble example".
end quote

But hadith tells us that:

Allah's Apostle said, "I have been sent with the shortest expressions bearing the widest meanings, and I have been made victorious with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy), and while I was sleeping, the keys of the treasures of the world were brought to me and put in my hand." Abu Huraira added: Allah's Apostle has left the world and now you, people, are bringing out those treasures (i.e. the Prophet did not benefit by them).

quote from alislam.org:
There is no mention in the Holy Quran or anywhere else of any punishment for an apostate which may be meted out to him by any other person.
end quote

As far as 'anywhere else' goes, apparently they (alislam.org) arent aware of Al Bukhari Vol. 9:57 Hadith which states:
It is narrated that the Prophet (pbuh) said: [From among the Banu Ishmael,] whoever changes his religion, kill him. ~~~~
and
Allah's Apostle said, "The blood of a Muslim who confesses that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that I am His Apostle, cannot be shed except in three cases: In Qisas for murder, a married person who commits illegal sexual intercourse and the one who reverts from Islam (apostate) and leaves the Muslims." Volume 9, Book 83, Number 17
and
Abu Muisa said, "He was a Jew and became a Muslim and then reverted back to Judaism." Then Abu Muisa requested Mu'adh to sit down but Mu'adh said, "I will not sit down till he has been killed. This is the judgment of Allah and His Apostle (for such cases) and repeated it thrice. Then Abu Musa ordered that the man be killed, and he was killed.
Volume 9, Book 84, Number 58: http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/bukhari/084.sbt.html

and

Sahih Al-Bukhari: Volume 5, Book 59, Number 630:
There was a man tied with his hands behind his neck. Mu'adh said to Abu Musa, "O 'Abdullah bin Qais! What is this?" Abu Musa replied. "This man has reverted to Heathenism after embracing Islam." Mu'adh said, "I will not dismount till he is killed." Abu Musa replied, "He has been brought for this purpose, so come down." Mu'adh said, "I will not dismount till he is killed." So Abu Musa ordered that he be killed, and he was killed.

and

Volume 9, Book 84, Number 64 (same source as above)
and will go out from (leave) their religion as an arrow goes out of the game. So, where-ever you find them, kill them, for who-ever kills them shall have reward on the Day of Resurrection."
This is just part of the long continuing 'kill for god's reward' theme of the quran and hadith. But dont worry, I'm sure right now Oprah is talking about something fun, and I'm sure QVC has some cute trinkets that will be far more amusing than researching this stuff.

<<-- Taqiyya from a 'useful idiot' (I may say things just to cheat my enemy) source here Volume 9, Book 84, Number 64

Could 'islamic death for apostasy' be based on muhammads own megolomania? Are his followers trying to make sure this happens? Read this:

So I hope that my followers will outnumber the followers of the other Prophets on the Day of Resurrection." source #504

Many muslims love to say they reject hadith. But Saudi Arabia feels it is authentic enough to base their laws on it (Sunnah' means 'collection of hadith and traditions of the Ummah'. Ummah means the islamic community) :
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a sovereign Arab Islamic state with Islam as its religion; God's Book and the Sunnah of His Prophet, God's prayers and peace be upon him, are its constitution, Arabic is its language and Riyadh is its capital.

The greatest evidence of this is the book of Ahâdîth an-Nabawî he compiled, commonly known as Sahîh al-Bukhârî. It is universally acknowledged as the most authentic book after the Holy Qur'ân. source here

If you notice in the web address of this link:

it is in the University of Southern California Muslim Student Association website (MSA) in the section of 'fundamentals'. Feel free to be intrigued as to why it wasnt Michael Moore, Code Pink, Cindy Sheehan, Howard Zinn, Rachel Corrie, Juan Cole or Noam Chomsky who brought this to your attention. You'd think this would be right up their alley. ssshhhhhhh..... hush little babeeee dont say a word............

As for non-muslims, lets consult this verse from the quran

The Jews say: "Allah's hand is tied up." Be their hands tied up and be they accursed for the (blasphemy) they utter. Nay, both His hands are widely outstretched: He giveth and spendeth (of His bounty) as He pleaseth. But the revelation that cometh to thee from Allah increaseth in most of them their obstinate rebellion and blasphemy. Amongst them we have placed enmity and hatred till the Day of Judgment. Every time they kindle the fire of war, Allah doth extinguish it; but they (ever) strive to do mischief on earth. And Allah loveth not those who do mischief.

disbelief = enmity -->> But the revelation that cometh to thee from Allah increaseth in most of them their obstinate rebellion and blasphemy. Amongst them we have placed enmity and hatred till the Day of Judgment. quran 5.064 apostacy, disbelief = war

All Things Beautiful

Abdullah Al Araby
Both Christians and Muslims share belief in a sovereign Deity who is one, heavenly, spiritual, the creator of heaven and earth and the judge of all mankind. Christians call Him "God" and Muslims call Him "Allah". One may thus presume that the attributes of God and Allah are the same. A careful examination of the matter, however, will prove that it is not exactly so.
Muslim activists in the West have been using the tactic of claiming that they worship the same god as the Christians in order to gain legitimacy and acceptance. They have been using the name "God" in place of "Allah" in many translations of the Qur'an.
There is nothing new under the sun! This reminds us of what happened 14 centuries ago. When Mohammed started preaching his new religion in Mecca he was conciliatory and appeasing to Christians. He told them: "We believe in What has been sent down to us and sent down to you, our God is the same as your God." Surah 29:46. Compare this with what happened later, in Medina, after Mohammed gained strength. Allah then tells him to "Fight those who believe not in God nor the last day...Nor acknowledge the religion of truth (Islam), (even if they are) of the people of the Book, until they pay Jizya (tribute tax) with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued". Surah 9:29

However, the attributes of "God of Christianity" and "Allah of Islam" are quite different. God of the Bible is loving and personal, Allah, on the other hand, is wrathful and non-personal.

THE GOD OF CHRISTIANITY
Christianity believes in a one triune God, while Islam rejects this concept as blasphemous.
"They do blaspheme who say Allah is one of three in a Trinity, for there is no god except One Allah". Surah 5:73

The reason behind Islam's rejection of the concept of the triune God is a misunderstanding of the real meaning behind it. It seems that Islam's understanding of the Trinity was derived from a Christian heresy which existed in Arabia at the time of Mohammed.
This heresy taught a trinity consisting of God the Father, God the Mother (the Virgin Mary), and God the Son (Jesus). The Qur'an says:
"And behold! God will say: O Jesus the son of Mary didst thou say unto men, worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of Allah? He (Jesus) will say: Glory to thee, never could I say what I had no right (to say)". Surah 5:116
Christians, in fact, believe in one God who has made Himself manifest in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Jesus declared this doctrine when He instructed His disciples, saying:
"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost".Matthew 28:19 & 20
The Father
Islam doesn't know the loving Fatherhood of God. That intimate relationship with God is foreign to Islam and condemned by the Qur'an.
"(Both) the Jews and the Christians say, 'We are sons of Allah and His beloved'. Say: why then doth He punish you for your sins? Nay, you are but men of the men He has created". Surah 5:18
On the other hand, the concept of God being our heavenly Father is at the core of the Christian faith. Jesus taught His disciples to pray, saying:
"Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name..." Matthew 6:9
The relationship between Jesus the Son and God the Father is exhibited on the Cross. We see Jesus addressing God as the Father:
"Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do." Luke 23:34
"Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit." Luke 23:46
The New Testament is full of references to God as the Father of all believers.
"Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God... Behold, now are we the sons of God." 1 John 3: 1 & 2
The Son
Islam cannot accept the role of Jesus as the Son of God.
"O People of the book! Commit no excess in your religion: nor say of Allah aught but truth, Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) an apostle of Allah, and His Word, which He bestowed on Mary, and a spirit proceeding from Him. So believe in Allah and His apostles. Say not 'Trinity': desist! It will be better for you. For Allah is One Allah. Glory be to Him: (Far exalted is He) above having a son." Surah 4:171
Nor does Islam accept the deity of Jesus
"In blasphemy indeed are those that say that Allah is Christ the son of Mary. Say: who then hath the least power against Allah if His will were to destroy Christ the son of Mary, his mother, and all - everyone that is on earth? For to Allah belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is in between... For Allah hath power over all things." Surah 5:17
The God of Islam possesses all power over all things, including the power to erase sin if He so desires and when He so desires. This is completely different from the God of Christianity who is just and merciful, and who must work within the plan of salvation, to satisfy both His mercy and justice. The plan cannot be carried out without the sacrifice of Jesus, the Son of God, on the cross, on our behalf, in order to pay the penalty of our transgression.
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16
The love of God towards sinners is against the spirit of Islam. Islam vehemently rejects the crucifixion of Jesus.
"That they said (in boast). We killed Christ Jesus, the Son of Mary. But they killed him not, nor crucified him." Surah 4:157
The Holy Spirit
Islam looks upon the Holy Spirit as a created spirit the same as an angel. In many instances the Quran uses the name "Holy Spirit" to mean an angel. In the story of the birth of Jesus, the Quran states that God has sent to Mary "His Spirit" (meaning the Angel Gabriel) to announce to her the news that she was chosen to be the mother of Jesus.
"Then We (God) sent to her Our Angel (in the original: Our spirit), and he appeared before her as a man in all respects." Surah 19:17
The Spirit of God (as the Angel Gabriel) was also the one who allegedly carried the message of the Qur'an to Mohammed.
"Say the Holy Spirit (The Angel Gabriel) has brought the revelation from thy Lord in truth." Surah 16:102
Because Muslims do not recognize the Holy Spirit, they cannot accept the Lordship of Jesus.
"No man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost." 1 Corinthians 12:3
And because Muslims don't have the Holy Spirit dwelling in them, they don't have the assurance of salvation.
"The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God, and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ." Romans 8:16 & 17

THE "ALLAH" OF ISLAM

In theory Allah in the Qur'an has 99 names or attributes such as: Omniscient, Omnipotent, Sublime, Living, Everlasting, Holy, Light, Creator, Powerful...etc. In reality, however, the Qur'an paints a picture of Allah that in many ways resembles Mohammed's own personality.
Whatever Mohammed wanted, Allah wanted for him. However Mohammed reacted, Allah reacted for him. Aisha, (one of Mohammed's 13 wives) was quoted as saying to Mohammed scornfully:
"O Allah's Apostle, I do not see but that your Lord hurries in pleasing you." Al-Bukhari Vol 7:48
Here are just a few examples: When Abu Lahab criticized Mohammed, telling him. Perish you, Mohammed! Did you invite us here for this? Allah immediately sends down Surah 111 to condemn both Abu Lahab and his wife.
"Perish the hands of the Father of Flane (Abu Lahab). Burnt soon will he be in fire of blazing flame. His wife shall carry the wood as fuel."
When Al Walid Ibn Almoghira and Omaya Ibn Khalaf mocked Mohammed and boasted of their wealth, Allah sends down Surah 104 rebuking them.
"Woe to every (kind of) scandal-monger and backbiter who pileth up wealth and layeth it by, thinking that wealth would make last forever. He will be sure to be thrown into the fire (of the wrath) of Allah kindled (to a blaze)."
When Mohammed fell in love with Zaynab, wife of his adopted son (Zaid), God approved of divorcing her from Zaid and joined her in marriage to Mohammed:
"Then, when Zaid had dissolved (his marriage) with her We joined her in marriage to thee, in order that there might be no difficulty to the believers in marriage to wives of their adopted sons." Surah 33:37
When Mohammed's wives demanded higher allowances out of the booty taken from the massacred Banu Qorayza Jewish tribe, God settled it by telling the wives to either be content with their present allowance or face divorce. (See Surah 33:28 & 29)
When Hafsa caught Mohammed, in her bed, making love to his concubine Mariya, Mohammed tried to please angry Hafsa by promising her that he will stay away from Mariya. At this point Allah intervenes in Mohammed's behalf: -
"O Prophet why holdest thou to be forbidden that which God has made lawful to thee? Thou seekest to please thy consorts. But Allah is oft forgiving, most merciful." Surah 66:1
The next time you attend one of those "bridge-building" meetings, where a panel of a Catholic priest, a Protestant minister, a Jewish rabbi and a Muslim imam, hold hands in solidarity declaring that they all worship the same God, remember these differences.
That bridge they are building is a one way bridge, leading only towards Islam.

Churchill on Islamic Fundamentalism

Winston Churchill's grandson says radical Islam at war with the world

Winston S. Churchill III speaking at the John Locke Foundation's 16th anniversary dinner in Raleigh on Feb. 10.
RALEIGH — Winston S. Churchill III maintains that Islamic fundamentalism is as destructive as the malevolent "isms" of the 20th century: Nazism, Communism and Facism. In a speech on Feb. 10 at the John Locke Foundation's anniversary dinner, the grandson of Winston Churchill urged the West to stay the course in the fight against extremist Islam.

Here is the text of his speech:

It is both an honor and a pleasure to be your guest here tonight and to have the privilege of addressing the John Locke Foundation. First and foremost, may I congratulate you for honouring the memory of John Locke, who was very much involved in the establishment of the Governments of the Carolinas and who, most important of all, was one of the great philosophers of the English-speaking world.

Locke’s message — the vital importance of resisting authoritarianism — is as relevant to the strife-torn times of the world in which we live, as it was in the strife-torn times of the 17th Century. Authoritarianism constantly rears its ugly head, even within our own societies on both sides of the Atlantic, in so many guises and disguises, and in every field, be it religion, government or the military.

At its most extreme, authoritarianism is exemplified by the isms of the 20th Century — Communism, Fascism and Nazism. The Fascists and Nazis were responsible for the deaths of more than 30 million human beings, while more than 50 million are estimated to have been murdered by Stalin and the Russian Communists, while Mao-Tse-Tung and the Chinese Communists are believed to have accounted for some 80 million.

But today a new challenge — another ism — confronts us, and that is the challenge of Islamic fundamentalism. Extremist Islam has declared war on the rest of the world, as evidenced by their ruthless attacks across the globe — overwhelmingly targeted at innocent civilians. Beside the outrage of 9/11, the bombings in Madrid, in Bali, in London and, most recently, in Jordan come to mind.

Those who have declared jihad against the West, and Western values, such as freedom of speech, are doing all in their power to mobilize against us the large Muslim communities living in our midst. In North America, there are an estimated six million Muslims in the USA, plus a further three-quarter million in Canada; while in the European Union, they number an estimated 20 million, including nearly 2 million in Britain. Unlike most other categories of migrant, the Muslims are reluctant to assimilate and, all too often, wish to pursue their own agenda.

Unbelievably, Washington is urging Europe to admit Turkey to the EU. Were that to happen, the Muslim population of Europe would skyrocket to 100 million — an act, in my view, of consummate folly. Already Judeo-Christian Europe is under siege from a tidal wave of Islamic immigration. The admission of Turkey would hasten its demise. While I have a great regard for the Turks, the only democracy in the Muslim world and stalwart members of NATO, I am firmly opposed to their admission to the EU. I would accord them most-favoured nation status, but not the right to settle in Western Europe and become EU citizens.

The scale of the problem confronting Europe today is epitomized by France, which has a Muslim community of some 6 million, or 10 percent of its population. But, if you take the population aged 20 and below, the figure rockets to 30 percent, such is the birthrate of the immigrant communities. In other words, within one further generation, France will be a Muslim country — a truly horrifying prospect.

At the same time it is vital that, in our pursuit of the men and women of terror — we do all we can, not to alienate these large Muslim communities already established among us. For, without the active support of the Muslim communities, we shall never excise this deadly cancer in our midst.

Intriguingly, the dangers of extremist Islam were foreseen by Winston Churchill all of 85 years ago, as I discovered to my amazement, while compiling my most recent book NEVER GIVE IN! The Best of Winston Churchill’s Speeches.

Churchill is, of course, well-known for his gift of prescience and, specifically, for being the first to warn of the menace of Hitler and Nazism as early as 1932, and of the Soviet threat in his famous Iron Curtain speech in 1946 in Fulton, Mo. But how many know that he also warned the world of the dangers of Islamic fundamentalism? I certainly did not!

On 14 June 1921, hard on the heels of the Cairo Conference, at which he had presided over the re-shaping of the Middle East, including the creation of modern day Iraq, he warned the House of Commons:

A large number of [Saudi Arabia’s King] Bin Saud’s followers belong to the Wahabi sect, a form of Mohammedanism which bears, roughly speaking, the same relationship to orthodox Islam as the most militant form of Calvinism would have borne to Rome in the fiercest times of [Europe’s] religious wars.

The Wahabis profess a life of exceeding austerity, and what they practice themselves they rigorously enforce on others. They hold it as an article of duty, as well as of faith, to kill all who do not share their opinions and to make slaves of their wives and children. Women have been put to death in Wahabi villages for simply appearing in the streets.

It is a penal offence to wear a silk garment. Men have been killed for smoking a cigarette and, as for the crime of alcohol, the most energetic supporter of the temperance cause in this country falls far behind them. Austere, intolerant, well-armed, and blood-thirsty, in their own regions the Wahabis are a distinct factor which must be taken into account, and they have been, and still are, very dangerous to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina…

In Churchill’s day, of course, the viciousness and cruelty of the Wahabis was confined to the Saudi Arabia peninsula, and their atrocities were directed exclusively against their fellow Muslims, whom they held to be heretics for not adhering to the Wahabi creed — but not anymore.

Today the combination of the oil wealth of Saudi Arabia and the supine weakness of the Saudi royal family which — as the price for not having their own behavior subjected to scrutiny and public criticism by these austere, extremist clerics — has bank-rolled the Wahabi fundamentalist movement, and given these fanatical zealots a global reach to their vicious creed of hatred and extremism.

The consequence has been that the Wahabis have been able to export their exceptionally intolerant brand of Islamic fundamentalism from Mauritania and Morocco on Africa’s Atlantic shores, through more than two dozen countries including Bosnia, Chechnya, Afghanistan, Pakistan and the Middle East, to as far afield as the Philippines and East Timor in the Pacific. This is the stark challenge that today confronts the Western world and I fear it will be with us, not just for a matter of years, but perhaps even for generations.

Just in the past two weeks the temperature in the Middle East has risen markedly with three significant developments. First, we have seen the wild and furious reaction, whipped up by firebrand clerics throughout the Islamic world, to the publication some five months ago in a Danish newspaper of a cartoon depicting the prophet with a smoking bomb in his turban, as tattered suicide bombers were being greeted at the Muslim pearly gates by a gate-keeper shooing them away and shouting: “Get lost! We’ve run out of Virgins!” The fury that this mild piece of satire engendered, epitomizes the clash of civilizations that is the key factor confronting us today.

Secondly, the stunning election victory in the Palestinian elections of Hamas — a terrorist organization committed to the destruction of Israel — provided a rude shock to those in Washington who naively imagined that democracy would provide the answer to the problems of the Middle East. For many within the Beltway, free elections have been an article of faith, even though it was in a free election that Hitler first came to power, before establishing his Nazi dictatorship.

Such is the anger of the Moslem world against the West, inflamed by extremist clerics and fanned by the Al-Jazeera and Al-Arabia television networks, that truly democratic and free elections would result in the election of fundamentalist governments throughout the Muslim world. It is a frightening fact, that in 50 Muslim countries countless millions of Muslims tell pollsters that they regard Osama Bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri as more trustworthy than President Bush.

The third and by far the most serious development, is the decision of the Iranian government of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to remove the U.N. seals from its nuclear research facilities. He it is who not only denies the Holocaust ever happened, but who declares that Israel is a “tumor” that should be “wiped off the map”! Some Western analysts state that the Iranian president doesn’t really mean what he says. There were, of course, many who said just that of Hitler’s Mein Kampf, and we saw the result.

Having reported events — including two wars — in the Middle East over the past 45 years, I think I know the Israelis well enough to say that Israel is not about to wait to find out whether or not the Iranian president means what he says. In 1981 Israel took decisive steps to take out Saddam Hussein’s Osirak nuclear facility with a long-range air strike. I do not see how she can fail to do the same in the case of the even greater threat posed to Israel by a nuclear-armed Iran.

This time it will not be so easy, as the mullahs have dispersed their nuclear facilities across 16 sites and built them deep underground, making them far more difficult to attack. But with 500 ‘bunker-busting’ bombs from the U.S. and precision-guidance technology they will certainly make a mess of the place. The whole Muslim world will be enflamed with outrage and Iran’s reaction may well be to deploy 100,000 guerrilla fighters to Iraq to fight the Americans and British — not a happy thought.

But even before these developments, siren voices could already be heard on Capitol Hill, raising the cry: “Bring the Boys home.” I tell you: Nothing could be more disastrous than if, at this juncture, the United States were to cut and run. It would, at a stroke, undermine those forces of moderation we are seeking to establish in power, betray our troops as they fight a difficult, but necessary, battle, and break faith with those of our soldiers who have sacrificed their lives to establish a free Iraq.

Gravest of all, we should be handing a victory of gigantic proportions to our sworn enemies. Let no one imagine that by pulling out of Iraq, the threat will simply evaporate. On the contrary, it will redouble, it will come closer to home and our enemies will have established in Iraq the very base that, by our defeat of the Taliban, we have denied them in Afghanistan. We shall see a desperately weakened United States, with its armed forces undermined and demoralized, increasingly at the mercy of our terrorist enemies.

Precipitate withdrawal is the counsel of defeatism and cowardice, which, if it holds sway, will immeasurably increase the dangers that today confront, not just America, but the entire Western world. It is something for which we shall pay a terrible price in the years ahead. When great nations go to war — and they should do so only as a last resort — they must expect to suffer grievous losses and must commit to war with an unconquerable resolve to secure victory.

In Iraq the United States has lost some 2,200 men and women, Britain just over 100. Compare that to the first day of the Battle of the Somme — 1 July 1916 — when the British Army in a single day, nay, before breakfast, lost 55,000 men killed, wounded or missing in action. Did we talk of quitting?What has happened to the mighty United States? Is it going soft? Are the elected representatives of the American people ready to surrender to those who threaten their homeland — indeed their civilian population — with death and destruction? I pray that they are not, and I call to mind the words of my grandfather, addressing the Canadian Parliament on New Year's Day 1941, in which — referring to the British nation dwelling around the globe, but it applies equally to our American cousins today — when he declared:

We are a tough and hardy people! We have not travelled across the centuries, across the oceans, across the mountains & across the prairies, because we're made of sugar candy!

In conclusion, I would remind you — and especially the legislators on Capitol Hill — of Winston Churchill’s words to the House of Commons on becoming prime minister in May 1940, which applies every bit as much to the situation that confronts us today.

You ask: What is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror. However long or hard the road may be; for without victory there is no survival.Provided we have the courage to stay the course, I am convinced that we can, in the end, prevail. Any alternative is too terrible to contemplate. There are no quick, easy solutions; on the contrary it will be a long, hard slog. But more leadership is needed from on high and, above all, more guts and determination if we are to see this through to victory.

Let us fight the good fight — and let us fight it together! How pleased my grandfather would be to know that — 40 years on from his death — the Anglo-American alliance is still strong and that British and American soldiers stand shoulder-to-shoulder in Iraq and in Afghanistan, confronting the peril of the hour! Long may we stand together! God bless America!

Perpetual War = Ticket To Paradise

2006-01-04T07:45:00.000-08:00

http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/009.qmt.html#009.111

Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in truth, through the Law, the Gospel, and the Qur'an: and who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah? then rejoice in the bargain which ye have concluded: that is the achievement supreme.

aint blind faith grand?

But muslims say that Jihad means 'inner struggle'. Take a look at the commands of violence from the qu'ran and hadith.

Volume 6, Book 61, Number 577:
Narrated 'Ali:
I heard the Prophet saying, "In the last days (of the world) there will appear young people with foolish thoughts and ideas. They will give good talks, but they will go out of Islam as an arrow goes out of its game, their faith will not exceed their throats. So, wherever you find them, kill them, for there will be a reward for their killers on the Day of Resurrection."

Volume 4, Book 52, Number 46:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "The example of a Mujahid in Allah's Cause-- and Allah knows better who really strives in His Cause----is like a person who fasts and prays continuously. Allah guarantees that He will admit the Mujahid in His Cause into Paradise if he is killed, otherwise He will return him to his home safely with rewards and war booty."

There's the good ol kill and be killed for divine reward theme again. Simply declare them to be "enemies of allah" and paradise and material reward await. Juan Cole is betting that the average joe will never dig this deep into this.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. - Al-Qaida conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui told a roommate in Oklahoma that fighting a holy war was the only way to get to paradise, according to testimony Tuesday. and “This is the only way for me to get to paradise.” source (associated press)

Must see (RealMedia Video)

Muslims always say "Its against Islam to kill an innocent person". BUT did you know that a non-muslim is NOT considered innocent by muslims? Muslims consider non-muslims as najis and 'without sanctity' therefore NOT innocent. Note how the guy in this video makes that clear. American/British/Polish/French/German/ETC Foreign Policy? Dream on!

Also, make note of how he says non-muslims are 'guilty' of being 'enemies of god'. This is the 'fitna' referred to in quran 8.39. Note how quran 8.39 commands muslims to eradicate the world of this 'fitna'. This is discussed more in depth on my post here called:

Muhammad Charges 20% Kickback

2006-01-02T15:48:00.000-08:00

qu'ran 8:039-041 Note how the the word 'fitna' is translated as 'tumult and oppression'. In reality it means 'temptation/disbelief from non-muslims'. In the muslim mind this is considered tumult and oppression apparently..... simply by existing. This is considered opposition in the same sense as a candidate will have another candidate running in an election as the 'opposition'. The goal is to eliminate the 'opposition' just like Hitler did in 1930s Nazi Germany when he outlawed all other political parties or 'opposition'. This is why you will have a bible or any Christian paraphenalia confiscated at the airport when you arrive in Saudi Arabia. The islamic world is commonly referred to by muslims as Dar al Islam (house of islam) and the rest of the world as Dar al Fitna (house of non-muslims, disbelief, temptation) or sometimes Dar al Harb (lands that muslims are required to take through war (harb)). But you see, the translators figure that 'tumult and oppression' sounds more patriotic. See this discussed elsewhere about this very same verse from the quran. Here is a way to see how the word 'fitnatun' is used in the quran: Go to www.quranbrowser.com and type in fitnatun. Notice how it is used to denote trial, test and temptation. The translation of 'Sale' is the most accurate because it clearly says 'opposition'. Fitnatun refers to temptation from anything non-islamic and 8.39 clearly says 'fight' them (as we learned from the cartoon demonstration pictures and videos, this means massacre, behead, annihilate, slay, etc.) until
~~
And fight them on until there is no more tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in Allah altogether and everywhere; but if they cease, verily Allah doth see all that they do.

And know that out of all the booty that ye may acquire (in war), a fifth share is assigned to Allah,- and to the Messenger, and to near relatives, orphans, the needy, and the wayfarer,
~~
This actually means fight until there is no more OPPOSITION (trial, test, tempatation), and islam rules the world with no constraints of time or borders. This is islamic totalitarian imperialism. Just like the mafia, Muhammad feels it necessary to SPECIFICALLY include HIMSELF and HIS FAMILY as a recipient of the stolen material spoils! UNREAL! 'God' needs 20% of war spoils? Are you kidding me? A 'Prophet of God' needs 20% of war spoils? What a complete hoax.
Lo! Go out, eradicate the opposition, take their stuff, keep 80% and give me 20% kickback of the spoils (of course this includes slave women, or as the quran terms it: what your 'right hands possess'). After I take what I want, I'll throw some stuff to my family and friends and some junk to the needy. Its great for public relations! Pander to the constituency! Afterall....... God said! And.. pant pant... 'God' also said I can have as many wives as I want but you cant! Quran 33:50
Pssst.... But dont worry! Just call them 'spoils of war' or cute little names like 'handmaidens', 'bondwoman', or 'right hand possess'.... wink wink. Allah knows best!

Side note: Although the alleged 'God' in the quran can discuss at length the distribution of blood money (money acquired through murder), material spoils of war, the etiquette of handling and 'enjoying' slave women, and other despicable practices, he never quite found the time to abolish slavery. No matter how muslims will try to spin it, nowhere in the quran, hadith or sharia will you find anything even resembling an outright banning of slavery. But allah (ie; 'god' according to muhammad and muslims) can say "What favors of your lord will ye deny?" 32 times! But not once can he bring himself to abolish slavery in the alleged 'final message to all mankind (so-called 'last testament'). Most merciful? All knowing? But I'm a 'hater' for pointing this out, right?

Saudis have radicalized 80% of US mosques

2006-01-02T12:26:00.000-08:00

Mainstream US Muslim organizations are heavily influenced by Saudi-funded extremists, according to Yehudit Barsky, an expert on terrorism at the American Jewish Committee.
Worse still, Barsky told The Jerusalem Post last week, these "extremist organizations continue to claim the mantle of leadership" over American Islam. The power of the extremist Wahhabi form of Islam in the United States was created with generous Saudi financing of American Muslim communities over the past few decades. Over 80 percent of the mosques in the United States "have been radicalized by Saudi money and influence," Barsky said.
Before the 1970s, she explained, "Muslim immigrants who came to the United States would build a store-front mosque somewhere. Then, since the 1970s, the Saudis have been approaching these mosques and telling them it wasn't proper for the glory of Islam to build such small mosques." For many Muslims, it seemed the Saudis were offering a free mosque. However, Barsky believes for each mosque they invested in, the Saudis sent along their own imam (teacher-cleric)… Barsky, who heads the AJC's Division on Middle East and International Terrorism and is the executive editor of Counterterrorism Watch, said this means that "the people now in control of teaching religion [to American Muslims] are extremists. Who teaches the mainstream moderate non-Saudi Islam that people used to have? It's in the homes, but there's no infrastructure. Eighty percent of the infrastructure is controlled by these extremists." The same is true, Barsky said, of many of the mainstream Muslim organizations in America. Many of them are "pro-Saudi and pro-Muslim Brotherhood organizations."
As examples, she listed three important groups: the Islamic Society of North America, which "supports the Muslim Brotherhood and the Saudi regime;" the Islamic Circle of North America, which "is composed of members of Jamaat e-Islami, a Pakistani Islamic radical organization similar to the Muslim Brotherhood that helped to establish the Taliban;" and the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), "founded in the 1980s by pro-Hamas activists." The problem is most acute when it comes to interfaith relations. When advising colleagues on interfaith work with their Muslim counterparts, Barsky tells them "to proceed with caution, [since] some of the [extremist] organizations have concluded that interfaith dialogue is a good way to spread the ideology."

Time to Act Against Saudis Over Religious Persecution

2005-12-28T20:00:00.000-08:00

Nov 9, 2005
By Patrick GoodenoughCNSNews.com International Editor
A statutory body that advises the U.S. government on religious freedom has welcomed the State Department's decision to keep Saudi Arabia on a list of egregious religious freedom violators -- but it wants to see further steps taken.
A Saudi expert and critic of the regime says that in the absence of punitive measures, the designation of the kingdom as a "country of particular concern" is a pointless exercise.
The State Department says Saudi authorities deny religious freedom to non-Muslims as well as to Muslims who do not adhere to the state-sanctioned version of Salifi Sunni Islam, including Shi'ites.
"The government prohibits the public practice of other religions; non-Muslim worshippers risk arrest, imprisonment, lashing, deportation, and torture for engaging in religious activity that attracts official attention," especially that of the religious police, it said in a report to Congress Tuesday.
The report, which surveys 197 countries, identifies Saudi Arabia and seven others -- Burma, China, North Korea, Eritrea, Iran, Sudan and Vietnam -- as "countries of particular concern" (CPCs).
The annual report to Congress and CPC designations are requirements under the 1998 International Religious Freedom Act (IRFA), which provides for the administration to take steps against violators including sanctions -- although temporary waivers are permitted.
So far, IRFA sanctions have only been taken against Eritrea. Others on the list are already subject to pre-existing U.S. sanctions, although no action has been taken against Saudi Arabia.
The IRFA also set up the U.S. Commission for International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) to give independent recommendations to the executive branch and Congress.
For four years, the Commission urged the State Department to designate Saudi Arabia as a CPC, but until last year the department demurred.
Over the year since the Sept. 2004 designation, steps taken have been limited to the raising of U.S. concerns with what Tuesday's report called "a wide range of senior government and religious leaders."
Two months ago - six months behind schedule - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice finally authorized a 180-day waiver of action against Saudi Arabia, "in order to allow additional time for the continuation of discussions leading to progress on important religious freedom issues."
USCIRF communications director Anne Johnson said Tuesday the Commission was pleased to see Saudi Arabia again on the CPC list, but hoped for further action.
"We continue to call for the State Department to take action on last year's designation," she said by phone, noting that steps could be taken at any stage, and did not have to await the end of the 180-day waiver period (next March).
"They can determine before that that there's no progress likely to be made and that they need to take action," she explained.
The Commission has recommended travel bans and restrictions on the export of "dual use" items to Saudi government elements responsible for violating religious freedom or promoting a "hate ideology."
Johnson pointed out that Saudi Arabia has evaded punishment despite getting what amounts to the department's harshest evaluation.
"There are only two countries in the world that the State Department says there is no religious freedom -- or religious freedom does not exist -- Saudi Arabia and North Korea."
Improvement, or getting worse?
At a press conference Tuesday, John Hanford, the State Department official who heads the religious freedom office, was critical of Saudi Arabia but also said the kingdom had "demonstrated a willingness to engage with us to improve religious freedom."
He cited Saudi pledges to deal with the problem of "hateful messages in Saudi-sponsored literature" and efforts by the government to promote dialogue with the Shi'ite minority.
The religious police "are kept largely under control from raiding private worship groups," Hanford said, but added that there had been exceptions, with several groups of people arrested this year.
Asked about the waiver authorized by Rice last September, Hanford said the option was taken "because we feel like our discussions are productive, unlike discussions with some other countries. We feel like the government of Saudi Arabia is moving in the right direction."
In the view of Saudi scholar Ali Al-Ahmed, however, the situation in Saudi Arabia has not improved. On the contrary, he said last Tuesday, "in historical context it has gotten worse."
"Any expression of religious or cultural identity by anyone else is forbidden."
In the past, the authorities were not as well organized as they are today in acting against illicit religious items, he said in a phone interview. Now, along with Bibles, even non-religious items associated with Christianity, such as Christmas trees, were banned.
Al-Ahmed said a recent exhibition by the religious police in the southern city of Asir included, in a display of confiscated contraband, copies of the Bible.
"This is poisonous to them - it is not allowed, not legal."
He said the exhibition had been opened by, and was held under the auspices of, a "so-called liberal" member of the ruling family, Prince Khalid Al-Faisal.
Al-Ahmed, a Shi'ite who heads the Institute for Gulf Affairs think tank, was critical of the State Department report and its handling of Saudi Arabia in general, describing it as "very apologetic" and "very careful."
He claimed that the report was "harsher" on Iran than on Saudi Arabia, even though "Iran has a better religious freedom record than Saudi Arabia - there are churches and synagogues and ... non-Muslim celebrations on Iranian TV."
Without taking punitive steps against Riyadh, he said, the CPC designation was "pointless and actually counterproductive."
'Making excuses'
Al-Ahmed's criticism went beyond the religious freedom issue, saying the department in other areas too -- including the treatment of women and the question of human trafficking -- was "making excuses for the Saudi government."
In an annual report on trafficking, a phenomenon sometimes described as "modern-day slavery," the department over the summer found that Saudi Arabia and 13 other countries were not doing enough to combat the problem, making them eligible for denial of non-humanitarian U.S. aid.
But in September, the administration waived sanctions against Saudi Arabia, and several others among the 14. It argued that, in the kingdom's case, this was "in the national interest because it will allow us to continue democracy programs ... and will permit continued security cooperation to effectively prosecute the war on terror."
At the time, Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.), author of legislation combating human trafficking, said he was disappointed by the waiver decision.
"Ally or not, America cannot condone human trafficking by any nation, and that is what we seem to be doing," Smith said. "I have said it time and time again, 'friends don't let friends commit human rights violations."

Azam Kamguian
We Need to Fight the Battle for Enlightenment

I am delighted to be here today to speak at such a wonderful conference. Here, I talk as an apostate, an atheist who left Islam and religion altogether at the age of 15, a veteran activist of women’s rights who survived the atrocities committed by political Islam in Iran.
My being a Muslim, like all other children who are accidentally born into Muslim families, was hereditary. My parents were ordinary Muslims. My father was relatively open-minded but my mother indoctrinated us and used religious rules for protecting her children. In my childhood, faith meant that I had an all powerful all knowing father figure watching over me. Anything bad that happened to me – he’d take care of me. To me it was comforting to Know that evil would not triumph, that the anguish of the innocent in this world would not go un-avenged was comforting. The temptation to subordinate your being to a deity ; to a god was immense.
My doubts about god began seriously when I was 12 years old. I would give a lot to be able to believe. But in the end I had to tread the rocky and non-comforting path of atheism. I gave up the shelter of a divine shadow – but I gained a life that could question and explore the life and human existence. I questioned and rejected religion and became an atheist because I could not answer the inconsistencies and hypocrisies of religion to myself, and because religion limited me as a human being – I remain an atheist because I have discovered myself as human being not alienated by any god or religion and I do not need religion to tell me who I am.
But those years of exploring and searching for truth was soon replaced by horrors years of brutality and atrocities by political Islam in Iran. Though I left Islam, I had to live Islam. In my youth and young adulthood in Iran, I lived through thousands of days when political Islam shed blood. Since 1979, a hundred thousand men, women and children have been executed in the name of Allah. I have lived through years of assassination of infidels, apostates and opponents of the Islamic republic inside and outside Iran. Years of suppression of women and brutal treatment of those women who resisted the misery of mandatory Hijab and the rule of sexual apartheid. I, along with thousands of non – believers and political prisoners, was tortured by order of the representative of Allah and Sharia; tortured, while the verses of the Koran about non-believers were played in the torture chambers. The voice reading the Koran was mixed with our cries of pain from lashes and other brutal forms of torture.
Non-believers - atheists under Islam do not have "the right to life ". They are to be killed. According to Islamic culture, sins are divided into great sins and little sins. Among the seventeen great sins, unbelief is the greatest, more heinous than murder, theft, adultery and so on. Courageous apostates aim to skewer the hypocrisies and inconsistencies of a faith that commands the allegiance of a billion people–as well as the hypocrisies of those Western defenders of Islam who would not tolerate its strictures in their own cultures.
A free discussion of Islam is extremely dangerous not only in countries under Islamic rule but also in the west. Most keep their feelings to themselves. Those Muslims who disown or even criticize their faith publicly are likely to be accused of apostasy, a crime punishable by death under Islamic law–a penalty enforced by a number of Islamic states, including Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Sudan.
The Islamic position on apostasy has been described as: “total disbelief that any sane person could possibly have a genuine reason for leaving ‘the most perfect religion’. He or she must therefore, by definition, be acting in bad faith. Essential aspects of our civilised humanity, such as freedom of speech and freedom of belief, are best exemplified in Islam by those thinkers and writers it calls apostates. The importance of apostates and other religious dissidents is crucial.
Freedom from and of religion does not mean merely the freedom to have a faith but also the freedom to change one's religion, and freedom to be free from religion. But under the Sharia, apostasy (either advocating the rejection of Islamic belief or announcing such rejection by word or deed) is not permitted and for a man is punishable by death. The punishment for a woman is more lenient - she must stay in prison until she reverts, however long it takes. Even when the death penalty is not applied, those accused of apostasy can be subject to the most violent treatment. This discrimination is clearly contrary to freedom of religion and belief and to the principle that religion should be a private matter for the individual.
In a feeble attempt to disguise the Islamic attitude to apostasy, apologists often quote the Koranic verse: “There shall be no compulsion in religion”. For a Muslim wishing to leave Islam this is simply not true. In Yemen it’s punishable by death as it is in Iran, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan under the Taliban and other Islamic states. The most famous incidence of Apostasy was in 1989 when Ayatollah Khomeini announced a fatwa, or death sentence against Salman Rushdie for his alleged apostasy in writing “The Satanic Verses”. In a similar vein in Iran in July 1998 a man was executed for allegedly converting a Muslim woman to the Baha’i faith, this was even though the woman claimed that her mother was Baha’i and that she was raised according to that faith. Freedom House's Centre for Religious Freedom recently protested the forthcoming trial, before a Sharia court of Islamic law, of Hamid Pourmand, the 47 year old lay leader of a small Assemblies of God church in the southern port city of Bandar-i-Bushehr. Pourmand, a convert from Islam, is facing charges of apostasy from Islam and proselytising Muslims, both capital offences in Iran. The government of Iran puts someone on trial for his life solely for his religious belief. The state's criminalisation of apostasy is always subject to political manipulation and indicates an absolute negation of individual rights and freedom. Iran applies an extremist interpretation of Shiite Islamic law or Sharia, which harshly represses the free expression of belief, including religious conversion by Muslims. Iran's Sharia courts view non-Muslims as second-class citizens, whose testimony is given less weight than Muslims, and sometimes even as non-persons, without any legal protections.
In countries ruled by Islamic law and where political Islam holds sway, writers, thinkers, philosophers, activists, and artists are frequently denied freedom of expression. Islamic regimes are notorious for the violent suppression of free thought. Often, as a government allies itself closely with Islam, any critics of the government will be accused of blasphemy or apostasy.
In Islam, there exists a horror of putting the Koran to critical scrutiny. Ordinary people do not dare to question the Koran. The result is tyranny, thought police, and stagnation, no intellectual and moral progress. Even in the academic community it is a taboo to discuss the Koran scientifically. While there exist a growing critical movement to criticise religion, particularly Islam, Islamists, apologists for Islam, and western governments have come up with the idea of Islamophobia. They try to silence critics. Islam must be subject to critical examination. By silencing critics and calling them racists, Islamists and apologists intend to keep religious domination intact. In Iran the price for criticising Islam is death in its most horrendous way. How many more fates of Theo Van Gogh’s are we expecting in the west?
The moment you say that any idea system is sacred, the moment you declare a set of ideas to be immune from criticism, satire, derision, or contempt, freedom of thought becomes impossible. We must win the right to criticize the religion without fear of retribution. Criticism, free speech, is the foundation of an open society. We need to criticise and use reason to solve our problems.
No belief, rational or irrational, scientific or divinely inspired, should be exempt from critical examination. If a belief is sound it will stand on its own merits. If it is not it deserves to fail. No religion should seek immunity from the examination of its claims, or seek freedom from moral criticism of its practices.
In the West, the Enlightenment brought about defence of individual freedom and civil liberties. The battle against the Church and backward culture caused a deep change in society's horizon and values and advanced the society. Western society shook off backward and religious thoughts and beliefs. Most of our contemporary ideas about freedom of speech and civil liberties come from the Enlightenment.
We the atheist and freethinkers need to fight the battle for enlightenment in the East. We need to push Islam back to where it rightfully belongs. We should fight for unconditional freedom of speech including freedom to criticise Islam. We atheists have to challenge religious authority. For every vilified and oppressed atheist, two more, ten more, a thousand more will spring up. No matter how brutal inquisitions and slaughter, atheists and freethinkers will spring up because people's minds and needs cannot be imprisoned forever. Today our society under political Islam is being held prisoner by Islamic captors, who fight to dominate this world.
And I am delighted to say that hopes continue coming from Iran where the society has changed dramatically and deeply since 1979. The movement for secularism and atheism, for modern ideas and culture, for individual freedom, for women's freedom and civil liberties is widespread. Contempt for religion and the backward ruling culture is deep. Women and the youth are the champions of this battle; a battle that threatens the foundation of the Islamic system. Any change in Iran will not only affect the lives of people living in Iran, but will have a significant impact on the region and worldwide.
Therefore, we must fight the battle for Enlightenment in Iran and elsewhere in the Middle East.

Bravo!

Islam condones wife beating

2005-12-17T23:17:00.000-08:00

Note that in most of the non-arabic translations of verse 4:34 of the quran, the word lightly is added to soften and sanitize it to western audiences. The word 'lightly' or any insinuation of 'lightly' does not appear in the Arabic quran.

source: http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/004.qmt.html#004.034

004.034 YUSUFALI: Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has given the one more (strength) than the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in (the husband's) absence what Allah would have them guard. As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (Next), refuse to share their beds, (And last) beat them (lightly); but if they return to obedience, seek not against them Means (of annoyance): For Allah is Most High, great (above you all).
PICKTHAL: Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath made the one of them to excel the other, and because they spend of their property (for the support of women). So good women are the obedient, guarding in secret that which Allah hath guarded. As for those from whom ye fear rebellion, admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and scourge them. Then if they obey you, seek not a way against them. Lo! Allah is ever High, Exalted, Great.
SHAKIR: Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.

No evidence needed. Look! They all say 'you fear'. The mere suspicion... Beat her!

and the hadith confirms this!
Book 11, Number 2142:
Narrated Umar ibn al-Khattab:

The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: A man will not be asked as to why he beat his wife.

http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/abudawud/011.sat.html <<--#2142 note the word 'fundamentals' in the link! religion of peace???? This is sharia law!

cant find it on the page? press control and F at the same time on your keyboard on the usc.edu page, a little box comes up, type in the words 'beat his wife' and bingo... there it is.

Note that the arabic word waidriboo is used in both 4:34 and 8:12 and in both verses it is used to refer to physically striking. (waidriboohunna is the feminine plural ie; them - wives)

Muslim Clerics on the Religious Rulings Regarding Wife-Beating By Steven Stalinsky & Y. Yehoshua*. Introduction On January 14, 2004, Sheikh Muhammad Kamal Mustafa, the imam of the mosque of the city of Fuengirola, Costa del Sol, was sentenced by a Barcelona court to a 15 month suspended sentence and fined € 2160 for publishing his book 'The Woman in Islam.' In this book, the Egyptian-born Sheikh Mustafa writes, among other things, on wife-beating in accordance with Shar'ia law.
On pages 86-87, Mustafa states: "The [wife-]beating must never be in exaggerated, blind anger, in order to avoid serious harm [to the woman]." He adds, "It is forbidden to beat her on the sensitive parts of her body, such as the face, breast, abdomen, and head. Instead, she should be beaten on the arms and legs," using a "rod that must not be stiff, but slim and lightweight so that no wounds, scars, or bruises are caused." Similarly, "[the blows] must not be hard." [1]

Mustafa noted in his book that the aim of the beating was to cause the woman to feel some emotional pain, without humiliating her or harming her physically. According to him, wife-beating must be the last resort to which the husband turns in punishing his wife, and is, according to the Qur'an, Chapter 4, Verse 34, the husband's third step when the wife is rebellious: First, he must reprimand her, without anger. Next, he must distance her from the conjugal bed. Only if these two methods fail should the husband turn to beating.

In his verdict, the judge said that Sheikh Mustafa's book contained incitement to violence against women, that today's society is completely different from society 1400 years ago, and that the sections of the book in which the sheikh wrote of wife-beating constitute a violation of the penal code and of women's constitutional rights. In his defense, Sheikh Mustafa's attorney argued that his client was not expressing his personal opinion, but only reiterating the writings of Islam from the 13th and 19th centuries. [2]

The book, which sold around 3,000 copies in Islamic cultural centers across Spain, was removed from the shelves. [3]

The following report will review the writings and statements of Muslim clerics and of other Islamic religious institutions that instead of condemning wife-beating, discuss it as a legitimate way of "disciplining" the wife, based on the Qur'an (4:34).

Sheikh Yousef Qaradhawi: 'It is Permissible For The Husband to Beat Her Lightly' Sheikh Yousef Qaradhawi, one of the most influential clerics in Sunni Islam and head of the European Council for Fatwa and Research, has advocated non-painful wife-beating.

In his 1984 book 'The Lawful and the Prohibited in Islam,' he wrote: "Because of his natural ability and his responsibility for providing for his family, the man is the head of the house and of the family. He is entitled to the obedience and cooperation of his wife, and accordingly it is not permissible for her to rebel against his authority, causing disruption. Without a captain the ship of the household will flounder and sink.

"If the husband senses that feelings of disobedience and rebelliousness are rising against him in his wife, he should try his best to rectify her attitude by kind words, gentle persuasion, and reasoning with her. If this is not helpful, he should sleep apart from her, trying to awaken her agreeable feminine nature so that serenity may be restored, and she may respond to him in a harmonious fashion. If this approach fails, it is permissible for him to beat her lightly with his hands, avoiding her face and other sensitive parts. In no case should he resort to using a stick or any other instrument that might cause pain and injury.Rather, this 'beating' should be of the kind which the Prophet (peace be on him) once, when angry with his servant, mentioned to him, saying, 'If it were not for the fear of retaliation on the Day of Resurrection, I would have beaten you with this miswak (tooth-cleaning stick)' [as reported by Ibn Majah and by Ibn Hibban, in his Sahih].

"The Prophet (pbuh) admonished men concerning beating their wives, saying 'None of you must beat his wife as a slave is beaten and then have intercourse with her at the end of the day.'

"It was reported to the Prophet (pbuh) that some of his Companions beat their wives, whereupon he said, 'Certainly those are not the best among you [as reported by Ahmad, Abu Daoud, and al-Nisai. Ibn Hibban and Al-Hakim classify it as sound, as narrated by Iyas ibn 'Abdullah ibn Abu Dhiab].'

"Says Imam Al-Hafiz ibn Hajar, 'The saying of the Prophet (pbuh), 'The best among you do not beat,' could imply that beating wives is in general permissible. To be specific, one may beat only to safeguard Islamic behavior and if he (the husband) sees deviation only in what she must do or obey in relation to him. It is preferable to warn (her) or something of the sort, and as long as it is possible to achieve things through warning, any use of force is disallowed because force generates hatred, which is inimical to the harmony expected in marriage. Force is applied only when sin against Allah Ta'alah (masiyah) is feared. Al-Nasai has reported 'Aishah as saying, 'The Prophet (pbuh) never beat any of his wives or servants; in fact, he did not strike anything with his hand except in the cause of Allah or when the prohibitions of Allah were violated, and he retaliated on behalf of Allah.'

"If all these approaches fail, and the rift between the husband and wife deepens, the matter then devolves on the Islamic society for solution. Two individuals of good will and sound judgment, one from the wife's and one from the husband's side, should meet with the couple in order to try to resolve their differences. Perhaps the sincerity of their efforts may bear fruit and Allah may bring about reconciliation between the spouses." [4]

On the Al-Jazeera weekly program 'The Shar'ia and Life' of October 5, 1997, Al-Qaradhawisaid: "Beating is permitted [to the man] in the most limited of cases, and only in a case when the wife rebels against her husband… The beating, of course, will not be with a whip, a stick, or a board. The beating will be according to what the Prophet said to a servant girl who annoyed him on a particular matter, 'If it were not for fear of punishment in the Hereafter, I would have beaten you with this miswak.'

"Likewise, the beating must come only after admonishment, and expelling [the wife] from the bed [as is said in the Qur'an 4:34], 'Admonish them, leave them alone in their beds, and beat them.'

He also said: "Beating is not suitable for every wife; it is suitable for certain wives and for other wives it is not. There is a woman who cannot agree to being beaten, and sees this as humiliation, while some women enjoy the beating and for them, only beating to cause them sorrow is suitable…

"The Prophet said about those who beat their wives: 'Those are not the best among you.' The respectable and honest Muslim man does not beat his wife, and his hand is not accustomed to beating. If [the husband] beats [his wife] he must beat her in the way of which we spoke. He must refrain from beating her in sensitive places or on her face." [5]

In a Fatwa posted on http://www.islamonline.net,/ Qaradhawi said on the same matter: "It is forbidden to beat the woman, unless it is necessary, and she 'is in a state of rebellion' against the husband and flouts him. This is temporary discipline [ta'adib] that is permitted to him according to the Qur'an in exceptional circumstances, when other efforts of admonishing [the wife] have failed and removing her from the bed as Allah said: 'As to those women on whose part you fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (next), refuse to share their beds, (and last) beat them; but if they return to obedience, seek not against them pretexts (for annoyance): for Allah is Most High, Great (above you all).'[Qur'an 4:34] Despite this permission for the hour of necessity, the Prophet said: 'The good men from among you do not beat [their wives].'" [6]

Islamic Affairs Department of Saudi Arabia's Washington, DC Embassy: Men Have a Supervisory Authority because of Their Physical Advantages

According to the website of the embassy of Saudi Arabia's [7] Islamic Affairs Department (IAD), [8] wife-beating is permitted in accordance with Qur'anic verses and Hadiths used by the IAD to explain the rights a husband has over his wives: [9] "The husband's rights on his wife are greater than hers over him." Another source states, "Men have a supervisory authority on account of the physical advantage they possess…" [10] It is also stated, "When the husband calls his wife to his bed and she disobeys, and he spends the night in anger against her, the angels keep cursing her till the morning." [11] In addition, "If a woman dies while her husband was pleased with her," it is explained that "she will enter into Paradise." [12]

The IAD explains that the Qur'an [13] authorizes a husband to beat his "disobedient wife." Like many sources in modern Islamic history, the IAD tries – by basing its interpretation on Hadith – to explain this authority as limited in circumstances as well as in harshness (i.e. limited to use of small, non-harmful methods, such as beating with a toothpick). [14]

If a woman does not follow authority, the IAD explains at what point men are allowed to discipline her: "The maximum disciplining measure is limited by the following: a) It must be seen as a rare exception to the repeated exhortation of mutual respect, kindness and good treatment. Based on the Qur'an and Hadith, this disciplining measure may be used in the case of lewdness on the part of the wife or extreme refraction and rejection of the husband's reasonable requests on a consistent basis. Even then other measures such as exhortation should be tried first. b) As defined by the Hadith, it is not permissible to strike anyone's face, cause any bodily harm or even be harsh. What the Hadith qualified as dharban ghayra mubarrih, or light beating, was interpreted by early jurists as a (symbolical) use of the miswak." [15]

Prominent Muslim-American Leader: 'Beating Does Not Mean Physical Abuse'

Answering the question: "Does Islam allow wife-beating?" Dr. Muzammil H. Siddiqi, former president of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) stated: "It is important that a wife recognizes the authority of her husband in the house. He is the head of the household, and she is supposed to listen to him. But the husband should also use his authority with respect and kindness towards his wife. If there arises any disagreement or dispute among them, then it should be resolved in a peaceful manner. Spouses should seek the counsel of their elders and other respectable family members and friends to batch up the rift and solve the differences.

"However, in some cases a husband may use some light disciplinary action in order to correct the moral infraction of his wife, but this is only applicable in extreme cases and it should be resorted to if one is sure it would improve the situation. However, if there is a fear that it might worsen the relationship or may wreak havoc on him or the family, then he should avoid it completely."

According to Siddiqi, "The Qur'an is very clear on this issue. Almighty Allah says: ' Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has given the one more strength than the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient and guard in the husband's absence what Allah would have them to guard. As to those women on whose part you fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (next), refuse to share their beds, (and last) beat them (lightly); but if they return to obedience, seek not against them means (of annoyance); for Allah is most High and Great (above you all). If you fear a breach between them twain, appoint (two) arbiters, one from his family and the other from hers. If they wish for peace, Allah will cause their reconciliation; for Allah has full knowledge and is acquainted with all things. (4:34-35)'

"It is important to read the section fully. One should not take part of the verse and use it to justify one's own misconduct. This verse neither permits violence nor condones it. It guides us to ways to handle [a] delicate family situation with care and wisdom. The word 'beating' is used in the verse, but it does not mean 'physical abuse.' The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) explained it 'dharban ghayra mubarrih,' which means 'a light tap that leaves no mark.' He further said that [the] face must be avoided. Some other scholars are of the view that it is no more than a light touch by siwak, or toothbrush." Siddiqi cites a Hadith to use caution when beating one's wife: "Generally, the Prophet (pbuh) used to discourage his followers from taking even this measure. He never hit any female, and he used to say that the best of men are those who do not hit their wives. In one Hadith he expressed his extreme repulsion from this behavior and said, ' How does anyone of you beat his wife as he beats the stallion camel and then embrace (sleep with) her?' (Al-Bukhari, English Translation, vol. 8, Hadith 68, pp. 42-43)" Siddiqi adds: "It is also important to note that even this 'light strike' mentioned in the verse is not to be used to correct some minor problem, but it is permissible to resort to only in a situation of some serious moral misconduct when admonishing the wife fails, and avoiding from sleeping with her would not help. If this disciplinary action can correct a situation and save the marriage, then one should use it." [16]

Saudi TV Show: Disciplining Wives and Children Jasem Muhammad Al-Mutawah, an expert on family matters in Islam, hosts a show on Saudi Arabia's Iqraa TV. [17] In one episode, Al-Mutawa discussed wife-beating while holding a 10-foot pool cue which he said some couples keep in the home. The following are excerpts of one episode; to view in RealPlayer visit: http://stream.realimpact.net/rihurl.ram?file=realimpact/memri/memri_10-30-02_08.rm

Al-Mutawah opened the show by explaining: "Imposing discipline within the family is the right of the husband towards his wife, as it is the right of the wife towards the husband. As has always been our custom, on every program we present stories from the home of the Prophet Muhammad and how these stories serve the topic of our program. All the Prophet Muhammad's wives united against him on the matter of meeting their material needs because they had asked for more money, and demanded to live a life of luxury, but the Prophet told them: 'I cannot; this is my material level and this is what I am capable of giving.' On this point the Prophet was resolute, but they insisted on receiving a raise.

"The Prophet, to discipline them, banished them (from his bed) for 30 days until 'Omar Ibn Al-Khattab intervened, to present to the Prophet the wives' desires. But the Prophet was insistent, and then 'Omar Ibn Al-Khattab said to the Prophet: 'Your wives have relinquished their demand'… How did the Prophet handle the matter? With wisdom and calmness. The Prophet did not handle the matter with a rod. We have a proverb that says what? The proverb says: The rod… Ah? The rod for whom? 'The rod is for the disobedient.' What do you think, is it true or not? This is a small rod. I want to take now the large rod… this is not even a rod… Look at this rod with me, look… look… Some husbands and wives keep such rods at home."

Al-Mutawah explains when using the rod is allowed and also on what types of wood they are made from: "I once heard someone say that whenever he has a problem at home he has a very long rod like this. The moment my wife makes a mistake towards me, what I do to her with this rod… We say, then, that the proverb, 'The rod is for the disobedient' is, in truth, a perception that is wrong. On the contrary: The rod destroys our life and our homes. We should solve our problems with dialogue, in truth, we must solve our problems, with mutual understanding because we are human, civilized people. Therefore, every problem in marriage, or every educational problem, we encounter we handle with mutual understanding… The Qur'an states: First of all guidance, advice, and admonition; then, banishment from the bed, and then 'beat them.' When the Qur'an presented this verse, it did not present it for all cases, but for one case out of all ways of female behavior – the case of disobedience. Let's assume that one man, his wife made a mistake, then he comes and says to her: 'I implement the Qur'an on you – advice, banishment, and beatings.' No, brothers, no, sisters… this is a misunderstanding of the religion. So, how should we deal with the other party when they behave with obstinacy and arrogance? How will we impose discipline and change the behavior?

"There is a wife with whom using hard words is useful, and there is a wife with whom it is not. There is a wife with whom using quiet, good words is useful, in contrast, there is a wife with whom if you use hard words her obstinacy will only increase, and thus the problem will get worse. In contrast, there is a wife with whom the situation is the opposite: If you use calm words with her, she will not grasp them, and the problem will continue… We all know that Allah has given authority to the man, including admonishing and guiding the wife in cases of disobedience, banishing her from the bed, and then – the beatings. What is your opinion on the matter?…"

Dr. Muhammad Al-Hajj, lecturer on Islamic faith at the University of Jordan (Amman) was a guest on the show. His opening statement discussed disciplining one's wife: "We in Islam see the family as an institution, an institution that must succeed. This institution has foundations, and it has the elements for its success. Allah gave the management of this institution to the man. This is the concept of guardianship. Guardianship in Islam does not mean repression, concerning which there are penal and moral laws. The issue is who directs this institution, because two people cannot drive a car – there must be one driver. Islam has given the wheel of this car, the car of the family, to the man. The verse discussing the handling of problems that may crop up in the family is included in the passage discussing guardianship: 'Men are the guardians of women,' and then Allah says, 'Admonish those of them on whose part you fear disobedience, and banish them from the beds, and beat them. Then, if they obey you, do not seek a pretext to hurt them.' The order that appears in this verse is a wise order. It is not possible to move to the second stage before the first stage, or to the third stage before the second. The wonderful thing in this verse is that it mentioned this solution for the case of disobedience."

The following are excerpts from the episode:

Guest: "We are not talking about a man imposing discipline every day, asking any little thing of her, and she refuses, and then he banishes her or beats her. Such a thing does not exist in Islam at all."
Host: "All right, doctor, what does 'disobedience' mean?"
Guest: "Yes, Allah said, 'Those on whose part you fear disobedience.' Disobedience is defiance, rebellion, doing deplorable and ugly things about which there is a consensus among the people that they are deplorable. Therefore, not every little transgression at home, such as, she cooked something he didn't want, is considered disobedience. This is not disobedience. Punishment is limited to cases of disobedience, and for instances of making this family into hell, and into an unnatural situation. Then, in order to handle this problem, in the case of the wife's disobedience and rebellion – there must be a cure for such instances – to this end, there is this progression. First, the moment there is fear of disobedience, and even before the disobedience itself happens, comes the stage of admonition: admonition by mentioning Allah, mentioning the rights of the couple, mentioning the continuation of the family and the children's future…"
Host: "And the admonition continues for a long time, not a day or two…"
Guest: "No, no. Obviously, the admonition cannot end in a day or two. It must continue for a significant period, during which all means of persuasion are exhausted."
Host: "The admonition must be done with words, or the [husband] can use a cassette, a video film, a book, a meeting, a course, a magazine…"
Guest: "All these means are included in the method of admonition, which can include also enticements through money or gifts…"
Host: "He can get her an Internet program, so she will learn…"
Guest: "He can remind her of matters concerning this world and the world to come. All these are included in this admonition. And if this wife continues in her rebelliousness…"
Host: "After a long time…"

Guest: "Yes, yes. After all these attempts at persuasion with gentle language, there is still danger of corruption for the family…"
Host: "And the wife continues in her rebelliousness…"
Guest: "And the wife continues in her rebelliousness, there comes another stage, and this is the stage of banishing her from the bed, which is aimed at giving her a sense that 'I am not happy.'" Host: "Yes."
Guest: "And if she persists and he gives her another chance during this same period and she continues for months, and sometimes even for years, with her refusal and rebellion here is revealed the wisdom of Islam: another means must be introduced. This is the means of the not-hard beatings, and the condition 'not hard' appears in the texts, it is not an interpretation. It is said in the Hadiths of the Prophet that we are talking of 'not-hard' beatings…"
Host: "What is the difference between 'hard' and 'not-hard?'"
Guest: "Hard beatings are those that leave marks on the body or on the face. Thus, beating on the face is prohibited, because the face is a combination of the features of beauty, as it is said. It is forbidden to beat the face, it is forbidden to administer blows that leave fractures or wounds this is what our sages have said in their books."
Host: "Doctor, the Qur'anic verse directs the husband in how to deal with a disobedient wife while if the husband is disobedient, let us assume now the husband is the rebellious one, the husband does not listen, the husband is neglectful, and the husband… rebels! The wife does not have the right to treat the husband in accordance with the three steps stated by the Qur'an. The wife, as it has been written, is restricted to admonition and guidance. She cannot banish him from the bed, and she cannot beat him. Do you not find inequality in this?"
Guest: "No, I do not find inequality in this, because as I said from the outset, the ultimate responsibility for managing the institution of family is given to the husband and therefore when the wife encounters disobedience on the part of her husband, or negative deeds, there is no doubt that she must remark on them and express her dissatisfaction with these deeds; she can go to his friends, his relatives, or her relatives so that they will take care of the problem…"
Host: "You mean that there are other means she can use to handle the husband?"
Guest: "Many means. She can, uh… She can… uh… ask him to get treatment for his problem. All these means. "However, for the situation to get to the point of beating, for example, I think that it is a kind of corruption, if, say, the wife is the one punishing her husband using beatings, because in this there is aggression against (the husband's) rule and responsibility. Besides, Islam has spared her the need to use her hand to beat, in order to preserve the woman's femininity, honor, and morality."
Host: "Doctor, we thank you for the interview and for the good words we have heard from you." Al-Mutawah ended the show with a detailed explanation of wife-beating and how to deal with Western criticism of such activity.
Host: "The interview with the doctor was most enjoyable, and it gave us some of the meanings, but I would like to add to the doctor's words the claims spreading in the West today according to which, 'You Muslims are not giving the woman her rights; how have you given the husband three means for dealing with (the wife) and not give the wife three means for dealing with the husband? Why can't the woman beat the man?! Why can't the wife banish the husband from bed?!' And I say to you that anyone who studies Islamic religious law – who said that the wife cannot banish the husband from the bed in Islamic law?! Who said that the woman has no right to beat the man?! Do you want me to give you a lesson in Islamic religious law? Read the Islamic religious law and you will see that Islamic religious law gave women this right. There is, therefore, equality. Besides, on the subject of disobedience, there is no doubt that we are speaking of exceptional cases, as we have shown. And this, by the way, is an issue of choice – it is not compulsory. That is, even if the wife of a particular husband is disobedient, is he obliged to admonish and advise, to banish her from the bed, or to beat her? No, he is not obliged. If he says: 'By Allah, I have a brilliant idea that is not included in the three steps,' will we tell him: 'You cannot carry it out?' No, it is not prohibited. He may carry it out. Islamic religious law, therefore, comes to guide; the law comes to protect the family and stability… Therefore, although Islamic religious law permitted beatings, the sages came and discussed the subject of beatings. The most extreme of them was Ibn 'Abbas. I want to show you something that I keep in my pocket. Allah be praised, look… Ibn 'Abbas said that the husband must beat his wife with a handkerchief. Imagine this together with me. Can one beat with rods like we saw at the beginning of the program? No! He beats using a handkerchief! This is the interpretation of Ibn 'Abbas, which is an extreme interpretation. Another interpretation of the sages is that he beat his wife using toothpicks. This is because the point of the beatings is not revenge.

"If the beatings were for the purpose of revenge, the husband would sin. The point of the beatings is to convey a message: 'Oh so and so, I am not happy,' 'Oh so and so, behave yourself, behave like you should.' This is the lesson. Therefore, why did Ibn 'Abbas say that she should be beaten with a handkerchief? Can any of you believe this? Westerners are now coming to us complaining about the matter of beatings. All right, it doesn't happen among us that a wife dies because of husband's beating. And if something like this does happen in our society, it is considered rare, and all the newspapers talk of it, true or not? In contrast, the latest U.N. statistics from 1999-2000 say that every 12 seconds in the U.S. a wife is beaten by her husband and in some instances these beatings reach the point of killing the wife. Therefore, when the Westerners bring up complaints against us regarding our affairs, why shouldn't we be strong and bring up complaints against them regarding their affairs? Despite the existence of the verse in the Qur'an, no cases of death have been recorded in our society, and if there were, then these were rare cases. In contrast, they are without verse, religious law, or law, and despite this, every 12 seconds a wife is beaten by her husband! What is better?! A man must know… Therefore, when we have a dialogue with the West, we must talk with them based on foundations, based on culture, based on thought. That is one thing. Second, when they come and say to us that Islam gave the wife the right that her husband will banish her from the bed, but the wife does not banish the husband – Who said so?!

"The wife, in two instances, has the right to banish her husband from the bed. The first instance is if he asks to have sex with her in a place forbidden by religious law, let's say the anus and the second instance is if he behaves towards the wife in an offensive manner during sex. Then she is permitted to banish him from the bed. And who said that the wife has no right to beat her husband? This too is permitted her. This appears in a very important study by Dr. Muhammad Said Ramadan Al-Bouti. He said that Islam protects the soul of the woman, defends her biological structure. Her build is weaker than the man's and if Islam gave the wife the right to beat her husband – by Allah, her husband would break her! True or not? The husband with his build and muscles – the wife cannot handle him.

"But Islam gave the woman the right that the husband will be beaten by someone on her behalf. The husband is beaten by a man, and then the battle is waged between two men, and not between a man and a woman. Between two men. Therefore, if the husband scorned the wife, humiliated her, or treated her disrespectfully, the wife can go to court, and then the judge rules the wife her right. And so, if the wife wants the husband to be beaten, he will be beaten! But he will be beaten by court order, and then the battle is waged between the judge and the husband, and not between the husband and the wife, within the home. Therefore, my brothers and sisters, the matter must be discussed realistically and logically. If husband and wife … even in one of the psychology conferences, when they presented this Qur'anic verse, there was a psychiatrist who converted to Islam because of this verse. He said: 'This is the first time that I see, in the holy book of a monotheistic religion, a social and psychological problem being handled by the Qur'an.' We all know that some men are afflicted with a mental illness known as 'sadism' and some women are also afflicted with a mental illness known as 'masochism.' What is the treatment for these mental illnesses? Beatings! He must treat her harshly! Even one of the sages claimed that this verse descended for those afflicted with this mental illness. Therefore, a husband married to a wife afflicted by this illness, let's say sadism – well, let him beat her because the beatings, for her, are a cure."

Study of Egyptian Government TV: Viewers Believe 'Women Deserve to be Beaten'

The May 22-28, 2003 issue of Al-Ahram Weekly featured an article by Lina Mahmoud on violence against women shown on Egyptian television. The article focused on the results of a media monitoring project conducted by the New Woman Research Center (NWRC) and the Media House (MH), an independent production company. According to the article, the project, which monitored 18 television dramas [18] shown on Egyptian national television during Ramadan 2002, is the first of its magnitude to study the portrayal of violence against women in Egyptian media. The following are excerpts from the article as it appeared in English:

"The group counted the number of cases of violence shown on the programs. The study was conducted during the month of Ramadan because it is the month with the highest television viewer rates. According to Nalwa [sic] Darwish [of the NWRC], 'Audiovisual media has a great influence in shaping the collective consciousness of Egyptians. The extremely high illiteracy rates in Egypt, among women in particular, give media an uncontested role in dictating people's behaviour and ideas…'

"The report of the findings of the study shows that all of the programs reviewed last Ramadan included scenes of violence against women. 'The problem is that those who perpetuate the violence are the heroes of the episodes, are those who are closest to the hearts of the audience and hence have the largest impact on them,' said the report.

"The report also addressed the ways viewers react to violence. Just as disturbing as the portrayals of violence against women is the lack of public outrage to them. In many cases, observers responded with either indifference or approval, making such aggression seem commonplace or justifiable.

"The majority of the women portrayed in the television episodes were housewives, followed by a large number of students. Unemployed individuals comprised 5.1 percent of the characters. The report argued that this is not an accurate representation and that the actual unemployment rate for women is much higher… Many of the soap operas featured educated characters, particularly university graduates, ignoring the fact that half of the Egyptian population is illiterate.

"Beating was the most prevalent mode of physical violence against women in the dramas, accounting for 42 percent of all physical aggression. Other forms of violence included killing (13.1 percent) and forms of sexual abuse. Incidents of verbal and sexual harassment were found in many of the shows and withholding sex from wives was portrayed as a form of punishment.

"In all of the cases of violence against women, 41.9 percent of the 'heroines' displayed active resistance, whereas 31.1 percent accepted the abuse. This resistance was usually verbal in form, although one woman reacted by killing herself and another became physically paralyzed. Further, 67.3 per cent of the men who acted violently against women displayed no remorse. Thirty percent felt guilty and shameful.

"Most of the women in the programs played negative roles. The few women who were portrayed positively were shown as naïve or harmless wives, lovers, and mothers.

"Darwish expressed her uneasiness at the results of the report. 'In 12 serials, there were 500 violent episodes. This means there are one or two scenes of violence in each part of a serial. This is too much. Moreover, not a single series was free of violence against women.'

"After the completion of the report, a documentary was filmed in which people were questioned about their reactions to violence in television dramas. 'Women deserve to be beaten,' responded one viewer. 'A husband should beat his wife if she does something wrong,' said another. One woman said that 'men are so cruel to women. They should be merciful.' A young man commented that beating a woman makes her 'more stubborn.'

"The meeting convened by the NWRC and MH [in which the study results were released] posed several important questions. What is required of the media? Should the media portray violence against women? Should television programs condemn violence against women or reflect it as it is? Most everyone seemed to agree, however, that television should stop stereotyping women negatively and avoid showing violence against women in a positive light." [19]

Muslim-Canadian Professor Explains: "There Are Cases, However, In Which A Wife Persists In Bad Habits"

Dr. Jamal Badawi, professor at Saint Mary's University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, and a cross-appointed faculty member in the Departments of Religious Studies and Management, has also explained that Islam allows beating ones wife. Badawi explains which circumstances permit "striking" a disobedient wife:

"If the problem relates to the wife's behavior, the husband may exhort her and appeal for reason. In most cases, this measure is likely to be sufficient. In cases where the problem persists, the husband may express his displeasure in another peaceful manner, by sleeping in a separate bed from hers. There are cases, however, in which a wife persists in bad habits and showing contempt of her husband and disregard for her marital obligations. Instead of divorce, the husband may resort to another measure that may save the marriage, at least in some cases. Such a measure is more accurately described as a gentle tap on the body, but never on the face, making it more of a symbolic measure than a punitive one.

Dr. Badawi elaborates on six instances regarding the permissibility of wife-beating as follows:

"a) It must be seen as a rare exception to the repeated exhortation of mutual respect, kindness and good treatment. Based on the Qur'an and Hadith, this measure may be used in the cases of lewdness on the part of the wife or extreme refraction and rejection of the husband's reasonable requests on a consistent basis (nushuz). Even then, other measures, such as exhortation, should be tried first. "

b) As defined by Hadith, it is not permissible to strike anyone's face, cause any bodily harm or even be harsh. What the Hadith qualifies as dharban ghayra mubarrih, or light striking, was interpreted by early jurists as a (symbolic) use of siwak! They further qualified permissible 'striking' as that which leaves no mark on the body. It is interesting that this latter fourteen-centuries-old qualifier is the criterion used in contemporary American law to separate a light and harmless tap or strike from 'abuse' in the legal sense. This makes it clear that even this extreme, last resort, and 'lesser of the two evils' measure that may save a marriage does not meet the definitions of 'physical abuse,' 'family violence,' or 'wife battering' in the 20th century law in liberal democracies, where such extremes are so commonplace that they are seen as national concerns. "

c) The permissibility of such symbolic expression of the seriousness of continued refraction does not imply its desirability. In several Hadiths, the Prophet (pbuh) discouraged this measure. Here are some of his sayings in this regard: 'Do not beat the female servants of Allah'; 'Some (women) visited my family complaining about their husbands (beating them). These (husbands) are not the best of you.' In another Hadith the Prophet (pbuh) is reported to have said: 'How does any one of you beat his wife as he beats the stallion camel and then he may embrace (sleep with) her?' "

d) True following of the Sunnah is to follow the example of the Prophet (pbuh) who never resorted to that measure, regardless of the circumstances. "

e) Islamic teachings are universal in nature. They respond to the needs and circumstances of diverse times, cultures and circumstances. Some measures may work in some cases and cultures or with certain persons but may not be effective in others. By definition, a 'permissible' act is neither required, encouraged, or forbidden. In fact it may be to spell out the extent of permissibility, such as in the issue at hand, rather than leaving it unrestricted or unqualified, or ignoring it all together. In the absence of strict qualifiers, persons may interpret the matter in their own way, which can lead to excesses and real abuse. "

f) Any excess, cruelty, family violence, or abuse committed by any 'Muslim' can never be traced, honestly, to any revelatory text (Qur'an or Hadith). Such excesses and violations are to be blamed on the person(s) himself, as it shows that they are paying lip service to Islamic teachings and injunctions and failing to follow the true Sunnah of the Prophet (pbuh)."

Why There is No Islam without the Hadiths
** This is the first of a four part series regarding the difficulties faced in reforming Islam. Funk Soul Bruhva offers an excellent response to a "Quran only" Muslim, Ameer during a debate as to why the Hadiths cannot be separated from the Quran as a way to minimize the violence and oppression in Islam.
Qur'an-only Muslim, You Say?
There seems to be a growing number of Muslims who call themselves "Quran only" Muslims. Now why would that be anything to boast about, let alone be a trend? If you haven't read the Hadith, the answer may not be apparent. For in the Hadith, are the accounts of Mohammad's deeds and examples. This is the only place they are found, for the Quran is supposedly the world of Allah. No person can come to know Mohammad without knowing the Hadith. The reason a growing number of Muslims want to invalidate the Hadith, is that the Hadith depict Muhammad as a most unsavory person: a selfish, egotistical pirate, serial-murderer, sex-addict, pedophile, plagiarizer, liar, and bigot.
So it all comes down to this: If the Hadith Collections of Ishaq, Tabari, Bukhari and Muslim are true, Muhammad was the most evil man who ever lived, Allah was the most demented god ever conceived, and Islam was the most vile doctrine ever imposed on humankind. If, however, the Hadith Collections are untrue, then nothing is known of Muhammad, the conception of his god, or his formation of Islam. There is no rational reason to believe it, observe it, suffer under it, or die for it.
So, let's begin by examining how the Quran repeatedly commands Muslims to obey the prophet and follow his example:
Obey the Messenger (Mohammad): Qur'an 4: 64 "We sent not a messenger but to be obeyed, in accordance with the will of Allah." Qur'an 4:80 "He who obeys the Messenger obeys Allah." Qur'an 5:92 "Obey Allah and obey the Messenger, and beware!" Qur'an 24:53 "Say: 'Swear not; Obedience is (more) reasonable.' Say: 'Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger." Qur'an 48:10 "Verily those who swear allegiance to you (Muhammad), indeed swear their allegiance to Allah."
These are but a few listed commands to obey Mohammad. It is, in fact, a recurring theme found throughout the Qur'an. Let's see here, "He who obeys the Messenger obeys Allah". This sounds a lot like a confession to me.
Next I will highlight where the Qur'an orders Muslims to follow Mohammad's example:
Follow Mohammad's example:
Qur'an 33.21 "Verily in the Messenger of Allah you have a good example for him who looks unto Allah and the Last Day."
Qur'an 60.4 "There is for you an excellent example, a pattern in Abraham and those with him[ie: Mohammad], when they said to their people: 'We are through with you and with what you worship besides Allah. We reject you. Hostility and hate have come between us forever, unless you believe in Allah only.'"
Qur'an 6.83 "And this was Our argument which we gave to Abraham against his people. And We gave him Ishaq (Isaac) and Yah'qub (Jacob) [Oops. Abraham was given Isaac and Ishmael. Jacob came later]; each did We guide, and Nuh (Noah) did We guide before, and of his descendants, David and Solomon, and Job and Joseph and Moses and Aaron; and thus do We reward those who do good (following Muhammad's example in the Sunnah). And Zachariah and Yahya (John), Isa (Jesus) and Elias; every one was of the good [i.e. Muslims]; And Ishmael and Elisha and Jonah and Lot and every one We preferred above men and jinn."
Those of sound mind who have studied the Qur'an and Hadith understand that Mohammad merely repackaged moon-god worshiping Arab paganism into the form of a monotheistic cult. Monotheism was a big trend during those times with Judaism and Christianity as the major monotheistic religions gaining power. Mohammad wanted a piece of the action for himself, and so created his own religion by plagiarizing both Judaism and Christianity, as well as other bits and pieces of information he came across, like the work of Greek scientist Galen. Mohammad then mixed it all together with Arab pagan customs and ideas, like jinn, Hajj, praying to Mecca, prostration, etc. Some of these pagan practices, in fact, have become pillars of Islam. The Hadith only serve to confirm this, another reason why some Muslims wish to ignore or discard the Hadith.
The Hadith tell the stories of Mohammad's search to plagiarize Jewish scripture, at any price, which the Jews were happy to charge, and why Mohammad hated them so afterwards, and why Muslims still hate Jews today. Not only did the Jewish Rabbis charge Mohammad a high price, they also recited to him slightly inaccurate stories (Mohammad couldn't read). The rabbis likely knew what Mohammad was up to.
From the Hadith, Mohammad's Sunnah (or example) has become the basis for Islamic law-the most oppressive, repressive, violent and male-chauvinist code on earth. Muslims follow Mohammad's example, which is why they tend to be the most irrational, male-chauvinist and violent people on earth.
Muslims are also ultra-sensitive when comes to criticism of their "prophet" - much more so than criticism of Allah. Why is this? Could it be that most Muslims, deep inside, realize Mohammad was an immoral and evil man, therefore criticism should be hushed and quashed; questions should not be asked? Even drawing his face is prohibited. What is there to hide? Why do some muslims deny the Hadith? Is there something in there that disagrees with their human side? The answers can be found in the Hadith themselves, chronicled initially by Ishaq, then by Bukhari, Muslim and Tabari.
Below is an example of a Muslim, "Ameer", attempting to deny the validity of the Hadith, and thus try to sweep Mohammad's evil character under the carpet. Many Muslims, as the one below, go so far as to say that "fake" Hadiths exist. I suppose, perhaps, it must have been the Jews who made the fake Hadiths [sarcasm].
The problem with that excuse is that Ishaq, Bukhari, Muslim and Tabari are considered by Muslim scholars themselves as "Sahih Hadith". They are the most authenticated and accepted Hadith by the scholars. How can an ordinary Muslim dispute them? So when I'm debating with Muslims, I only reference Ishaq, Bukhari, Muslim and Tabari. There can be no argument to their authenticity, so any argument put forth a Muslim, means they are challenging the highest scholars. That could constitute heresy.
Below the Muslim's denial of the validity of the Hadith, is my rebuttal:
----------------------------------------------- Ameer wrote: I don't find things in the Qu'ran objectable [sic] but many Hadiths are objectable [sic], so I don't really follow Hadiths. Firstly, there are so many fake ones. And even if they were true, if they go against Islam's teaches, they are still wrong. I think the best thing to do is just not take Hadiths seriously. --------------------------------------------- Aye, there's the rub.... not taking them seriously is impossible.Without the Hadith, you cannot know Mohammad. Without knowing anything about Mohammad, you cannot follow his example, and there is no Islam. If you doubt the Hadith you doubt the entirety of Islam, and therefore are apostate/murtad/kafir (whatever applies to you).
In fact, 4 out of 5 of Islam's Pillars would not exist without the Hadith, and the Qur'an would be indecipherable.
Bukhari:V1B2N7 "Allah's Apostle said: 'Islam is based on (the following) five (principles):
First Pillar: To testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and Muhammad is Allah's Apostle.
The Qur'an orders Muslims to obey the Messenger. If you don't know what he ordered, that's impossible. The Qur'an alleges that it's entirely composed of Allah's commands, not Muhammad's, so you'd be out of luck. The Qur'an also tells Muslims that they must follow the Messenger's example, yet the only place that example is established is in the Sunnah. Therefore, Islam's First Pillar is utterly meaningless, and impossible to implement, without Ishaq and Tabari.
Second Pillar: To offer the (compulsory congregational) prayers dutifully and perfectly.
Once again, that's not feasible. The "compulsory congregational prayer" isn't described in the Qur'an. There aren't even any clues. In fact, the Qur'an says that there should be three prayers, none of which it depicts, and the Hadith demands five. The only explanation of the obligatory prostration is found in the Sunnah-and even then it's never described by the prophet himself. Muslims are performing a ritual without Qur'anic precedence. As such, the Second Pillar is rubble. However if we take a look at the pagan rituals of the times, we can see where this practice originated.
Third Pillar: To pay Zakat. (Bukhari:V1B2N7)
How is that possible when the terms of the Zakat are omitted from the Qur'an? The first to commit them to paper was Ishaq. A century later, Tabari referenced Ishaq's Hadith. The only reason Muslims can pay the Zakat is because Ishaq explained it to them.
Fourth Pillar: To perform Hajj.
Nope. That's impossible too. The only explanations of the Hajj are in the Sunnah. No aspect of the pilgrimage can be performed without referencing the Hadith. Muslims would be lost without it.
Do you suppose Allah will redeem himself and explain the final pillar in his "perfect, detailed, and final revelation to mankind?"
Fifth Pillar: To observe fast during the month of Ramadan. (Bukhari:V1B2N7)
Although the Qur'an does indeed describe the fast, without the Hadith, Muslims wouldn't know why Ramadhan was so special (unless they researched Arab paganism). The accounts of the meaning of Ramadan are in their Traditions - initially chronicled by Ishaq and then copied by Bukhari, Muslim, and Tabari.
Funny thing is, the one pillar that is actually described in the Quran, is actually a borrowed pagan ritual Qusayy invented pre-dating Mohammad's Islam. Qusayy's family took a cut on merchandise sold during the "truce of the gods" fairs of Ramadhan. Ramadhan and all the associated customs that go along with it (stoning of the devil, circumambulation of the ka'aba, the ka'aba stone itself, walking the mountains, etc.) are all of pagan origin.
If you follow the Qur'an, it is incumbent upon you to follow Mohammad's example and obey him. The only way to do this is to accept the Hadith.
You have a serious dilemma to ponder, Ameer. Funk Soul Bruhva
