Jason Dahl was the Captain on United Flight 93 that crashed on September 11. Jason was my friend. I was also a Captain for United Airlines. Jason and I worked together as instructor pilots for United at the training center in Denver, Co. The Muslim terrorists that took out the four flights that day were considered “radical” Islamic. Fifteen of the 19 were Saudi.
Recently a Saudi pilot-in-training at the Naval Air Station Pensacola killed three Americans. Why did he kill? The same reason the terrorists did on 9/11. The Islamic Quran commands it.
How can the majority of Muslims claim it is a peaceful religion? Because… most have not read the Quran, or the “Hadiths” that expound on the verses in the Quran and the life of the prophet Mohammed. The culture of Eastern Muslims is to rely on and believe what those in authority say. And most of the leaders, or Imams, proclaim an innocent and tolerant version of the Quran and Mohammed. Obedience is a sacred trait of the Muslim faith. The word Islam means “to surrender.”
There are peaceful chapters or “Surahs” in the Quran. They were “revealed” to Mohammed in a cave called Hira near Mecca in 610 A.D. Mohammed’s god, Allah, wanted to correct the Jewish Old Testament and the Christian’s New Testament (with Jesus as part of a Triune God.) His gentle and tolerant Meccan revelations were intended to bridge the gap between Jews and Christians, winning both over to Allah’s “correction.” It didn’t work.
Mohammed was run out of town. He went to Medina. It was in Medina where the rest of the Quran was revealed to him by Allah. And there was a marked change. The Surahs became violent. And Mohammed became violent. He beheaded Jews. He fought wars. He raided and killed. He took “booty” in his victories. And the booty included human captives. Women. Unspeakable acts were allowed that I will not include here. You can read them for yourself… Surah 4:24, 23:5, 70:29.
This sexual injustice is reprehensible, but Allah wills it.
All of this was commanded by his Allah in the Medina Surahs. And those chapters in the Quran still apply today. It is not “radical” Islam. It is just Islam.
The hostile Medina Quran calls for Muslims to kill anyone who leaves the Islamic faith. Also, Medina Surah 9:5 command Muslims to “kill the infidels (non-Muslims) wherever you find them and take them as captives and besiege them and lay wait for them with every kind of ambush so if they repent (and become Muslim) and perform prayer, leave their way free.” Convert or die, and many other violent commands.
Allah also revealed to Mohammed…. If one is quoting from an early Meccan Surah and there is a contradicting Surah given later in Medina, the Meccan quote is no longer valid. It is called the Doctrine of Abrogation. This abrogation applies to 60% of the Quran. The early peaceful Surahs of Mecca no longer apply, but they are still in the Quran! And the Quran is not written in chronological order, so the reader can’t say which Surah is applicable. So peace-loving Muslims can claim Islam to be peaceful! And Medina Muslim followers can justify violence and killing! All in the name of Allah.
The unpleasant truth is that the Quran teaches faithful Muslims to be at war with non-Muslims until they are all subdued. That is one wacky religion.

It’s amazing that you are spreading such lies for slandering Islam. You never went explained the context behind any of those verses. And in the Quran it has been explicitly stated that a person must not unjustly kill another human being, be it a person of any religion. You are a disgusting person who is taking the verses of the Quran out of context and using it to slander Islam.

This guy talks about how Medina verses abrogates the Meccan verses, well the verses with sexual slavery 23:5 and 70:29 were revealed in Mecca so they are abrogated too, the Medina slavery verses say you have to marry them first.

Before we talk about you taking The Holy Quran Verses totally out of context. Let me ask you this… How did building 7 fell?
Hallubda Ognala says
You are very good at making up stories as well as insulting the religion of Islam, sorry sir, do not use the Quran in your slander. There is no Surah that commands the killing of others, because the holy Quran commands justice, and The Holy Quran, the word and will of Allah s.w.t, never ordered the killing of an unbeliever in Islam, because people have no right to take the life of a person like him. Only God can dictate to us and it is never people like us who dictate someone’s life that is why Allah never commanded to killing people, because no one can take human life, Except the one God and true God. Only God, the creator of all kinds here on earth, can decide to take human life. A Muslim can be forced to kill if it has a serious reason, such as when their country is occupied so that Christian politicians can rule so as to become a Christian conqueror. you Christians what is your reason for killing Muslims in their hometown, maybe I know why the Christian politicians want to control the town of the silent Muslims, also cause them to fight and kill for the sake of their country and religion. have you read the certification of Prophet Muhammad PBUH in the monks of Mount Sinai?
This is the certificate written by Mohammed son of ‘Abdallah, the Prophet of God, and His messenger unto all mankind, delivering both promises and threats, and having in his keeping the deposit of God unto His Creation, that men might have no plea after the coming of the Messengers. And God is mighty and wise. This he wrote unto the people of the Christian religion, and to such as profess the Christian religion in the East and West, near and far, clear-speaking and barbarous, known and unknown. He wrote it for them as a charter, and whosoever violates, alters, or transgresses the covenant that is therein, shall have violated the covenant of God, broken His promise, ridiculed his religion, and earned His curse, whether he be a sovereign or any other Moslem. If any monk or pilgrim entrench himself in mountain, valley, cave, township, level, sand or church, I shall be behind them defending them from any that shall envy them, by myself, my helpers, my people, my sect, and my followers, inasmuch as they are my subjects and the people of my covenant. And I exempt them from the vexation in victuals which is endured by the people of the Covenant in that they have to pay the tax, save so far as they themselves of their free will offer it, and there is to be no compulsion nor force employed. No Bishop is to be removed from his diocese, nor monk from his monkdom, nor ascetic from his cell, nor pilgrim from his pilgrimage, neither is any of their assembling-places or churches to be pulled down, neither shall any of the wealth of their churches be employed for the building of mosques or houses for the Moslems; and whoever doeth this shall have violated the charter of God and the charter of His Prophet; neither shall there be taken from monks, bishops, or ministers any poll-tax or fine. I shall maintain their security wheresoever they be, whether on land or sea, east, west, north, or south. They shall at all times and in all places be under my protection and within my covenant and immunity from all mischief. Likewise the hermits in the mountains and blessed places shall not have to pay land-tax nor tithe on that which they sow, nor shall a portion be taken from them seeing that it is only enough for their own mouths, nor shall they have to render assistance at harvest-time, nor shall they be forced to go out on service in time of war, neither shall more be demanded of them that pay the land-tax and the owners of property and estates and those that engage in merchandise than twelve dirhems altogether once a year. None of them shall be made to pay more than is due, neither shall they be striven with save in kindly dealing. They shall guard them under the wing of mercy by keeping off them the vexation of all mischief wherever they be and wherever they dwell. And if Christians dwell among Moslems, the Moslems shall satisfy them, and suffer them to pray in their churches, and shall not interfere in any way with the practice of their religion. And whoso violates the charter of God, and does the contrary thereof, shall be counted a rebel against His covenant and against His Apostle; further, the Moslems shall aid in repairing the Christian churches and places, which shall remain in keeping of the Christians on condition that they abide in their religion and act according to the charter. None of them shall be compelled to bear arms, for the Moslems shall protect them. And none shall violate this charter for all time, even unto the Day of Judgment and the end of the world. (qtd. Zaydan 123-124)

One small comment. There’s no such thing as a Christian politician.
Abdul says
First u did not read the whole text. People can sit here all day, and say the religion isn’t peaceful and is this and that and yada yada. Although, I beg to differ because it generally is a peaceful religion – when followed correctly.
It’s the same in any religion, you can create an oppressing nature if you cherry pick the bits you want and use them like toilet paper, as and when it suits you. Unfortunately, that’s what happens and is the reality. People cherry pick religion as and when it suits them.
Terrorism:
Since in your question, you had the tag “Islam and terrorism”. Let me throw you a few facts.
Islam and terrorism do not go together.
Why?
Because terrorism involves the killings of innocent humans. Humans which are Gods creation. Guess what, Islam (believe it or not) forbids the killings of innocent humans.
Surah Maida Ch 5 V 32 — “Whoever kills an innocent life it is as if he has killed all of humanity.”
So you really think we’re going to promote misguided idiots strapping bombs and blowing innocent people up, screaming god is the greatest? Erm, read our holy book and get back to us on that one.
All these people claiming to be muslim and doing heinous acts like this, are genuinely idiots – even they clearly don’t know what the religion promotes.
You think I’m sat here with nearly 2billion other muslims, celebrating every terrorist attack? Think again.
Every time I hear about honour killings, terrorism or any crime “in the name of religion” breaks my heart and I genuinely cry.
My religion has been here for me when no one else has. It’s supported me and guided me and no matter what, I’ll always feel this spiritual contentment that’s so rare to find. I often get annoyed and think “Are these terrorists and I, reading the same holy book?”
Of course not, and to be honest, I don’t even think they’ve ever picked up a Quran.
I can so easily cherry pick things from the bible:
“You must kill and destroy those who worship another God” Exodus :20
You see the problem?
Honour killings:
Let’s talk about honour killings because, apparently, they only come from islam.
Again, Islam doesn’t teach that and those who do honour killings will only be met with hell. They do honour killings for honour. Blood is thicker than water. Honour is thicker than blood. Honour is also thicker than religion, in some twisted minds.
These people who commit these acts, only care about their reputation and what they see fit. They don’t care about Islam. It’s so evident.
“Whoever kills a believer intentionally, their reward will be hell to abide theirein Forever, and the wrath and curse of Allah upon them, and a dreadful penalty is prepared for them”.
Forced Marriage, women’s rights and oppression:
This always gets brought up. However, this isn’t religion promoting this, I’d say it’s more a culture and honour thing.
“O you who have chosen to be graced with belief! It is not lawful for you to force a woman into marrying or holding on to them in marriage against their will”
Quran 4:19
As we can see, force marriage isn’t allowed. There are other verses from the Quran that explain that forced marriage is haram (forbidden on all grounds) but, this post is longer than expected and I appraise you, as a reader doesn’t have all day.
Women rights? Women are considered equal:
“Their Lord responded to them: “I never fail to reward any worker among you for any work you do, be you male or female – you are equal to one another.” (Qur’an, 3: 195)
However, the position of women is debated in every single religion. There’s quotes in every holy scripture that say women are equal but then at some point say men are above women. It’s debatable. I think you just have to study a religion as a believer and then make your own judgement.
Every religion’s holy scripture has violent and/or oppressing rules when cherry picked and taken out of context. Sometimes people can mistake culture and religion together and that creates nothing but a bloodbath. For everyone involved.
All these people on social media and everyday life that say islam isn’t peaceful and so on haven’t even studied or picked up the holy book themselves, just believe everything that’s fed to them.
I’m the type of man where if I see something I disagree with – I’ll say it. I say what I think, and this is what I think.
My sincerest apology if my religion offends you.
Kevin says
Exodus 20 does not in any way say to kill non believers. You might want to do actual research before commenting.
K.a.p.45 says
Well , It doesn’t change the fact that it promotes violence. Its more like a double edge sword.. their are many sects in christianity like roman catholic,orthodox, etc. And many2 more but none of these became a terror group or became a violent organisation. Some of them are even became a cult. Maybe some became violent but they are just a single grain in a bag of salt. Only ome particular religion became popupar and they shook the world for its violence and terrorism. Even if you don’t comsider them your brothers it doesn’t change the fact that what they believed came from the same source . And even not just one particular area. It’s all over the globe.

I would argue all religions are evil in some type of way but Islam is way scarier than them all. While some religions as Christianity are inclined towards hypocrisy, worldly prosperity and obsession with wealth, stealing from the poor, pedophilia, and finessed form of paganism, Islam is about extremism for me. I observe a sheer form of fanatism and direct obsession with the teachings that are in away direct opposite of peace. And is always about the prophet Mohamed rather than Allah. When you set out to behead someone for the prophet, where do you stand with Allah? And every time a Muslim brother does such a heinous act, other Muslims are quick to disown him. But he does precisely what the Quran commands them to do when it comes to “infidels”. Is like a mother disowning their biological son where they violate their law. Don’t get twisted. I am not religious and I have nothing against Islam. In fact, the majority of the people I respect most in my friends’ circle are Muslims. We drink alcohol and do weed together occasionally. I like how they observe their integrity. They are men of their word. But my question is, where do other Muslims find the courage to hurt others in the name of religion? That’s scary.
Common Sense says
There are an estimated 1.8 billion Muslims in the world. That’s nearly 1/4 of the world population. It’s not possible to paint that many people with a single brush.
Read a well-researched translation of the Quran, such as the one by M.A.S Abdel Haleem of Oxford University to get a real understanding of the Quranic message.
It is by and large a religion of peace and morality, encouraging Muslims to be mindful of God, humble, to give to the poor and orphans, to be good to parents, to speak kind words, among other virtues.
There are certain verses in the Quran that speak to violence, all of which are speaking in the context of a time when Muslims were being persecuted, giving the Prophet and his followers permission to fight back in self-defense.
There will always be people in the world who choose to do evil for selfish gain. Some of these people will manipulate the words of religious texts and take words out of context to achieve their own purpose.
The vast majority of Muslims are decent, hard-working, and peaceful people. Associating all Muslims with the behaviors of extremist and fringe groups is like associating all Christians with the KKK.
Rishi says
The majority of muslims may be honest, decent, upstanding,respectable, but they are like a hive of honey bees with a nest of radical hornets imbedded inside.— Only a pacifist coward psycho would leave the hive in his back yard to spare the bees…..and in this case, the bees could get rid of the hornets themselves, if they wanted to…..Instead they want us to leave the hive alone and absorb the hornet stings.

When was the last time you went out and fought the KKK. Your leap in logic is stupid.
jay says
you cant paint everyone altogether. there are different types of muslims the ones that follow it completely which I promise you will be humble, kind, calm and collected and extremely respectful. there are the people that may break some rules maybe the women won’t wear a shelia (scarf) and may not pray 5 times a day; and the lowest of the low the ones that hardly do anything to the religion, the people that only have their religion written as a muslim on their passport and that’s it. no proof. the less you believe in Allah (sub7anahu wa ta3ala) the less you know about the religion, therefore the higher chance you have on not knowing the difference between right and wrong.
this article tells you about ‘Surah 4:24, 23:5, 70:29’ when the Surah tells you to believe In god, help the poor and the orphans, and to be kind to one another. it tells you to be respectful towards the married women and single women and to marry the maximum of four women only. every single Sarah that talks about slaying pagans is in the times when they would go and burn Mohammad (pbuh)’s house and attempt to kill him. clearly its all self defence. why cant we all just love one another and respect each other’s religion god dammit. this man dont know nth abt my religion hopefully you al qiyama comes soon to show him what we mean. iykyk 😉

Anonymous says
That is very true. The bible’s greatest commandment is love, a true Christian displays love. Christians are not to judge other humans but are to respect peoples differing views all the while spreading the truth which is the Gospel. Everything you mentioned about Christianity is the exact opposite of what it really is. In the past many people made huge errors, by changing or adding to the bible (Catholicism) which is wrong, or preaching a false word which is also wrong, like false preachers that the bible repeatedly warns against. You should also know that some preachers are actually led and manipulated by the Devil. Ultimately, the only way to find the hardcore truth of Christianity is to be led by the holy spirit as you read the word which will give you insight and understanding on what it means. It is understandable if these are the kinds of so called Christians you have encountered but honestly those who really follow the word are few.

But you cant just say that about Muslims, since more then 95% of Christians do stuff that is forbidden in their religion too. Just because some Muslims dont follow every single rule of their religion doesnt mean they are bad people.

Anonymous says
yes, it does say that, but keep in mind it was talking about different times. Back then, Muhammad PBUH was being persecuted by the Pagans of Mecca, so it says this because the Meccans followed him to Medinah where he fleed to. So, in their time, the Pagans were oppressors of Islam, and Islam permits fighting back people who oppress them. So thats why it says slay the Pagans wherever you find them, because back then they were openly enemies of Islam and persecutors of Muhammad PBUH.

There are still things in the Quran that even us Arabs don’t know, Because even if the Quran is written in Arabic its almost like it a whole different language. These are the words of a god after all. And because we don’t understand it that much some sentences could have completely different meanings then what we think they do. And after you translate it to english it will stray from the true meaning even more.

This was literally in response to an Arab tribe that would repeatedly make peace agreements and then violate them, murdering the Muslims.

You Christian’s burned most people whoadard to defy your religion on stakes. Your Bishop’s of the past were corrupted people who only ever thought of themselves.

This post is pellucidly biased… whoever learns the teachings of Islam with an open mind knows that it does not support terrorism. Our beloved prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) is considered as a paragon of kindness, patience and generosity even by the non-musIims; he lived with the Jews and christians who were not as powerful as he was but he exterminate them instead he teaches kindness and virtuous treatment to his companions and that was why many people accept islam then, I have the list of so many verses from the Bible that support terrorism to state the least, ” If any one even your own family, suggest worshipping another God, kill them.” ( Deuteronomy 13:6-10) it is also there in that same book of Deuteronomy: 13:12-15 “If you find out a city worships a different God, destroy the city and kill all of it’s inhabitants… even the animals.” still in the same book 17:2-7 “kill any one with a different religion.” I have so many of them… in fact Christianity supports terrorism more than Islam.

DON’T BE FOOLED By Quotes From The Quran That Freely Use Peaceful Terms To Describe Islam;—— All The SO CALLED Peaceful Verses In The Quran — Were Written By Muhammad In The Early Years When His PARA-MILITARY POLITICAL MOVEMENT Was In Danger Of Being Defeated By His Enemies..!!!!!
When Muhammad’s Power Increased So Did His vitriol And Violent Pronouncements Aimed At All Infidels And Even Non-Observant Muslims.— In Islam all subsequent verses on a topic supersede all previous verses on that topic.
Radical Muslims today, are looking to Muhammad’s later verses in the Quran as their mandate to brutally and savagely kill all who do not submit to their version of Islam as they see it in the later verses of the Quran.
How can Muslims, who claim to be moderate, claim that radical Islamists are perverting the Quran, when the Quran clearly states what is to be done to all Infidels..
Muslim says
The verses you say ordering Muslims to attack are to rescue and defend the poor people from your unfairness. Robbing and slaving are prohibited in Islam Allah said: As to the thief, Male or female, cut off his or her hands: a punishment by way of example, from Allah, for their crime: and Allah is Exalted in power-.
As for slaving, Allah prohibited that and the evidence is that in the early days if Islam, Abo Bakr Alseddeek, prophet Muhammed’s best friend, had payed a lot of money to buy the slaves from their owners and set them free. And finally as for killing, Allah said:
“whoever slays a person, unless it is for a murder or for spreading mischief in the land, it would be as if he slew all humans; and whoever saves a life, it would be as though he saved the lives of all human. Please read more about Muhamed’s life PBUH and Islam to stop ignorance.

People are dumb, life isn’t promised tomorrow, Allah could take your life right now if he wanted.

I am not offending you but that is the truth. Christianity, Islam, and Jew all command the same thing, which is worshipping Allah only. As for Isa (Jesus) Moosa (Moses) and Muhammed (Peace and prayers be upon all of them) they are all Messagers of Allah. They were sent to explain the religion. All Messagers from Adam to Isa are like one nice building, but missing a brick. Muhammad (PBUH) is that brick that completed the beautiful building.

Sounds like an excuse…I have read and understood the quran…please…pray tell and advise us in reference what “you” refer to, and not be the usual muslim all smug and smarmy believing you are smart! No evidence means no fact. The quran is evidence against islam…not for it. Its contradiction of self is a direct reference to it being a tool to say whatever you want it too…and only a cleric can say what it effectually means. Words were given to us by god…they mean what they say. Not what one interprets on a whim. You translate languages…not meaning. A translated meaning is something used to brainwash others to your wants.

Islam is really a religion for the military ranks. Not everyday people. What is important about the Quran is what it leaves out just as much as what it does talk about. The rules for which the Quran prescribes, mostly involve warfare regarding to non-Muslims such as treaties Then there is the laws for the believer themselves. I would compare jihadist to something like the Knight’s Templar where they had their own rights. The difference is Islam was tailor-made for the military. Coincidentally, both actually shared similarities in worship. Islam is really the creation of the areligious Abbasids who wanted to make a new religion palpable to lowest denominator in order unify the empire and expand it by theological purpose; that is Allah commands believers to spread his laws and the believers are the executors of his will and their reward is bounty in this life and the hereafter. What would be called Islam initially started off as Christian heresies, likely by the Ummayads, but the Abbadis supplanted them, and created Islam as we know today.

Before engaging in battle, the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) instructed his soldiers:
1. Do not kill any child, any woman, or any elder or sick person. (Sunan Abu Dawud)
2. Do not practice treachery or mutilation. (Al-Muwatta)
3. Do not uproot or burn palms or cut down fruitful trees. (Al-Muwatta)
4. Do not slaughter a sheep or a cow or a camel, except for food. (Al-Muwatta)
5. If one fights his brother, [he must] avoid striking the face, for God created him in the image of Adam. (Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim)
6. Do not kill the monks in monasteries, and do not kill those sitting in places of worship. (Musnad Ahmad Ibn Hanbal)
7. Do not destroy the villages and towns, do not spoil the cultivated fields and gardens, and do not slaughter the cattle. (Sahih Bukhari; Sunan Abu Dawud)
8. Do not wish for an encounter with the enemy; pray to God to grant you security; but when you [are forced to] encounter them, exercise patience. (Sahih Muslim)
9. No one may punish with fire except the Lord of Fire. (Sunan Abu Dawud).
10. Accustom yourselves to do good if people do good, and to not do wrong even if they commit evil. (Al-Tirmidhi)

And yet…there is no battle in history that Muslims have not burdened the world with the knowledge of not giving a rats ass for what Allah commanded……which makes the religion solely a tool for war….and after the battle…all are absolved of their crimes by clerics posturing as generals and government officials. Much like catholics kill today and confess tomorrow. This is why muslims cry “kill the infidel.” They are non believers…so it is ok. No one is born a believer…belief is what you develop as a witness….. violence, fear and helplessness caused so many to become “believers” in islam…yet never could any people be entirely converted….simply because some people believed in the truth. But think about that….Jesus even converted the romans. Without raising a sword. Allahu is not so Akbar. 🙁

the best thing to do is to kill all muslims you see. no need to do it publicly. ok if you want to do it publicly and you don’t have any problem with it, it’s ok but you can kill all of them step by step stealthily.
they are all poisons for this planet for sure in the future and if it is a race for them that who is gonna prove the other one was wrong, so every second living next to these people is a big warning.
they all believe that someone will come on save them. they all believe that everything is for afterlife and this life is nothing but the starter. so they’re all waiting for the main course and dessert. this is when we all know that everything is in this world and even scientifically this claim is totally false. now my question from you?
how do you wanna get deal with these people?
forget human rights for one second cos human rights say we must give same service to everyone around the world, even a killer or a poisonous, unproductive person.
how do you wanna get deal with such a person for the whole of your life while you know that you are gonna live only for once and you can’t take very big risks among these people.
did you know that if they had the power like before, they all wanted to kill pornstars, lgbts and etc…. while muslims countries are one of the largest supporters of porn websites like pornhub and xvideos?
just search about it. they all know that they can’t fight with their hormones and the facts but they actually do it and yes it is unbelievable. so nothing is better than killing those rats if you see one of them. they think they all come from heaven and were sent by god (now forget that what do these terms mean exactly?)
how can a human live with a heavenly creature? lol. kill all of them and don’t let their appointment with their god gets too late. help them to see they were wrong all these years.

Search up 9/11 or marathon bombing, or Surah 9:5… Jesus never said it was okay to cast violence but Muhammad permits it. It’s funny because Muslims claim they are dependents of Adam, yet they do not know they are descendentes of ah sinner therefore they think like sinners and they believe it is ok to kill ur enemy.. for god says when ur enemy strikes one cheek thou shall turn the other cheek next. Jesus is the essence of god because he was radiated with love..

The Quran, chapter 9 (At-Tawba), verse 5:[51]
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 Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
— translated by Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Prophet! Rouse the believers to wage war. If there are twenty amongst you, patient and persevering, they will subdue two hundred: if a hundred, they will subdue a thousand of the disbelievers: for these are a people without understanding.
— Quran, [Quran 8:65]
Muster against them all the men and cavalry at your disposal so that you can strike terror into the enemies of Allah and of the believers and others besides them who may be unknown to you, though Allah knows them. And remember whatever you spend for the cause of Allah shall be repaid to you. You shall not be wronged.
— Quran, [Quran 8:60]
O you who believe! when you meet those who disbelieve marching for war, then turn not your backs to them. And whoever shall turn his back to them on that day – unless he turn aside for the sake of fighting or withdraws to a company – then he, indeed, becomes deserving of Allah’s wrath, and his abode is hell; and an evil destination shall it be.
— Quran, [Quran 8:15]
Fight those who believe not in Allah or the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the Religion of Truth, from among the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission and are subdued.
— Quran, [Quran 9:29]
There are many more verses. Ask and ye shall receive them.
Besides the Quran, there is the history.
After Itmam al-hujjah (clarification of religion to the addressees in its ultimate form), Jews were subdued first and had been granted amnesty because of various pacts. Those among them who violated these pacts were given the punishment of denying a Messenger of God.[60] Muhammad exiled the tribe of Banu Qaynuqa to Khyber and that of Banu Nadir to Syria.[78] the Banu Qaynuqa at Khyber was crushed by an attack at their strongholds.[78] Prior to this, Abu al-Rafi and Ka’b ibn al-Ashraf were put to death in their houses.[79][80] The tribe of Banu Qurayza was guilty of treachery and disloyalty in the battle of the Ahzab.[81] When the clouds of war dispersed and the chances of an external attack no longer remained, Muhammad laid siege around them. When no hope remained, they asked Muhammad to appoint Sa’d ibn Mua’dh as an arbitrator to decide their fate. Their request was accepted. Since, at that time, no specific punishment had been revealed in the Quran about the fate of the Jews, Sa’d ibn Mua’dh announced his verdict in accordance with the Torah. As per the Torah, the punishment in such situations was that all men should be put to death; the women and children should be made slaves and the wealth of the whole nation should be distributed among the conquerors.[82][83] In accordance with this verdict pronounced, all men were executed.[84] John Esposito writes that Muhammad’s use of warfare, in general, was alien neither to Arab custom nor to that of the Hebrew prophets, as both believed that God had sanctioned battle with the enemies of the Lord.[85]
No other incident of note took place regarding the Jews until the revelation of At-Tawba, the final judgement, was declared against them:[60]
Since their emigration from Mecca (622), the Muslims in Medina had depended not on farming or trading, but on continuous raids on Meccan caravans. When word of a particularly wealthy caravan escorted by Abū Sufyān, head of the Umayyad clan, reached Muhammad, a raiding party of about 300 Muslims, to be led by Muhammad himself, was organized. By filling the wells on the caravan route near Medina with sand, the Muslims lured Abū Sufyān’s army to battle at Badr, near Medina, in March 624. Despite the superior numbers of the Meccan forces (about 1,000 men), the Muslims scored a complete victory, and many prominent Meccans were killed. The success at Badr was recorded in the Qurʾān as a divine sanction of the new religion: “It was not you who slew them, it was God…in order that He might test the Believers by a gracious trial from Himself” (8:17).[91]
Where is the peace? These are not verses taken out of context. They are fully within their place.
Nowhere in the New Testament will you find something like this. The Old Testament has violent laws, but those aren’t followed by Christians. This is because Jesus’ coming fulfilled the old laws, removing the traditions but keeping the morality.

Search up the Holocaust or how the British colony en slaved,raped and killed innocent people just for money and power.back then the British were made up of Christians so are all Christians/Jews rapists and murderers? Your answer is probably no right? Then why associate Muslims with the horrendous acts of other evil ‘Muslims’? Our prophet never promoted conflict/violence before engaging in battle he said to all his soldiers that:
•They should not kill children,women or the sick elderly
•They should never wish to fight the enemy and only attack when being attacked
The list goes on you can search it your self, before you come here with biased opinions do some simple research.

In contrast of non-Muslim stance, there are two parallel camps within Muslims. One camp on the fringe has no qualms in taking a public position that Islam enjoins fighting and subduing the non-Muslims, and this is a sublime religious duty. They urge the Muslims to take up a combative struggle – armed if necessary – to resist the evil of the “infidels” (kuffar) and to facilitate Islam’s victory over others. They cite the example of the Prophet as to how under his leadership the world of the unbelievers was subdued. This is in fact more than 90% of muslims. It is more than evident when you live in a muslim country….you dumbfk! Why are you so intent to remain within a religion that is so vehemently opposed to the so called peace that you “dumbfks” say you belive in….why not just become a christian…worship same god and beliefs and not be cast into the same waters as all the evil mofos claiming to be muslim. Oh I forgot…the religion of peace would kill you for doing that….probably even your dumbfk! family. get the idea…dumbfk! 🙂

157 An-Nisa’
English:
That they said (in boast), “We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah.;- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not-
Prophet Isa, or Jesus, we believe that he is a messager of Allah, the only Lord, and he wasn’t killed, nor was he crucified, but Allah raised Isa to Him. Moreover, we believe in Christianity and Jew but not what you have written wrongly, but the right Injeel (Bible) that Allah has given to Isa and the Tawrah (Torah) that Allah has given it to Moosa (Moses) that has been written in that there will be a prophet, after all previous prophets, who will complete all the religions that Allah created. Finally, this is for who say that Islam is “violent” you actually didn’t read the whole holy Quran to give out speech. Islam commands justice and goodness and right, and prohibites bad traditions and violence. Those verses every offender mentioned is when the non-Muslims’ hurted Muslims severely. The story began when prophet Muhammed PBUH announced his prophecy on Mecca. Some believed, and some did not. Most if non-Muslims wanted Muslims to resume praying to the stoney and woody statues so they hurt them severly and hardly, violence was everywhere in Mecca against Muslims. However, Allah told them to be patient he will defeat those who misjusticise. Eventually, they exited Mecca going to Medina, leaving their money, houses, and children in Mecca. Even thought they went far from Mecca to live in peace, Kuffar (non-believers) came after them to kill all Believers and the Prophet, and from here started the fighting an wars. For that reasons, the verses that you say they are “violent” were revealed to Muhammed PBUH. Allah was teaching them how to fight rightly. After a couple of wars, it was the reconciliation of Hudaibeya. After about a year, the Kuffar killed some Muslims who were spreading Islamic teaches to people. Thus, it was war again. In the 10th year after they left Mecca, they re-entered Mecca again but not killing for their right, but forgiving the Meccans. They were about 10 000 but without weapons, only for peace and forgiveness. Know the whole story before you write or decide because that is ignorance. If you wanna know more about the Islam’s forgiveness and serenity, read more about Islam’s history to differentiate between the right and the wrong. I wrote the most brief story of Muhammad and I hope you know the cristal clear truth.

This is the most ignorant article ever posted on the web.
As a Muslim, I must say that your words are vile as those of Abu Jahl. You my dear writer are an embodiment of his ignorance.
You’ve taken verses from the Quran out of context without referencing the tafsir. Unlike, the Bible, our Islamic scholars have written extensively on every single verse of the Quran. They have given us guidance in interpreting these verses so that we don’t misinterpret them as you have. We can’t go astray as you have.
As much as you’d like to portray Islam as an archaic, vigilante religion you fail at it. Speak to Rabbi Tova Singer, who praises the Quran and praises prophet Muhammad.
We believe in 1 God and in believing in his last messenger prophet Muhammad.

You are sadly mistaken sister.
“You’ve taken verses from the Quran out of context without referencing the tafsir. Unlike, the Bible, our Islamic scholars have written extensively on every single verse of the Quran.”
Indeed if we do look at the tasfir and the hadith, we notice very clearly that Surah 2:256 has been abrogated by the violence verse of the sword Suran 9:5.
https://www.altafsir.com/Tafasir.asptMadhNo=0&tTafsirNo=86&tSoraNo=2&tAyahNo=256&tDisplay=yes&UserProfile=0&LanguageId=2
Also, contrary to your naive opinion, the Bible has been carefully examined, line by line and verse by verse by both Jewish, Christian and secular scholars for thousands of years. If anything, the best Islamic scholars acknowledge that 20% of the Qur’an is not understandable and open to fiery debate among the Muslim scholars themselves. I recommend you not talk about the Bible if, like the vast majority of Muslims you have NO CLUE about it. Re-read carefully Surah 10:94, Surah 5:68, Surah 5:47, Surah 3:3-4. Get my point?
Adina says
Someone looking to portray Islam as violent could easily read into a Quranic text their own ideas and biases by plucking it out of context. This is called proof texting.
The same faulty method can be applied to the Bible:
“But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them- bring them here and kill them in front of me” (Luke 19:27)
Carl says
Tafsir is a dead link.
The ayat in Sura Yunus 94 you quoted is out of context: the prophet, if in doubt of his latest revelation, to ask the Jews to confirm the revelatory narrative in the last 4 ayas. The remanant of the Gospel is found on Sura Maryam.
I challenge you to find the aya where Muslims are to believe in the previous scriptures, as there is no explicit mention of the Bible (a collection of books) in the Qur’an.

The writer of the article suggests that the prophet fought in wars and raped women, but is that really true? What is the story behind this? I would love to know and hear it from someone who is Muslim themselves because I refuse to blindly accept someone’s point of view who isn’t even part of that relogion.

Please respect our religion and beliefs. I can tell you for a fact no where in the Holy Bible it says to disrespect other religions.

I may say that I have indeed read the Qur’an, Sahih Muslim and Sahih Bukhrari and the authoritative text on sharia – The Reliance of the Traveller. Would that qualify me to state an opinion then on Islam?
We don’t blame any Muslims, the issue that Western society has is with Islam and the supremacist ideology it contains and the violent way it encourages its adherents to propagate it.
“Its like saying all Christians are bad because of KKK”. Your argument would be valid if the Gospel encouraged behavior that consistent with the behavior of the KKK. Sadly, the same cannot be true of Islam. Jihad of the heart, the mind and the tongue, beheadings, subjugation and domination of non-believers, these are all contained as teachings of the Qur’an and confirmed by the hadith and sharia. To say that the Qur’s is not violent is akin to saying that a brothel is not sexual. The brothel is the embodiment and establishment of sexual behavior just like the Qur’an embodies violence towards kafirs, or non-Muslims.
You are right about one thing – the Bible definitely says to respect other people, their faiths and their religion. Again, the same cannot be held true for Islam or your stick-wielding ‘prophet’. Islam as a supremacist ideology holds in contempt anything that does not adhere to Islam. Imagine if these verses were in the Gospel and referred to Muslims: Surah 2:171, Surah 8:55, Surah 13:17, Surah 98:6, Surah 95:5, Surah 3:32, Surah 17:18, Surah 5:51, Sahih Bukhari 103/6 2926 (and these are just a handful of hundreds of verses or hadiths). For one second, read these verses and hadiths and imagine they referred to Islam rather than Judaism or Christianity. How as a Muslim would you view the ‘Christians’, their ‘prophet’ and their ‘God’. Take a few days and think about it seriously.

All terrorists aren’t Muslims. I remember a year where every terrorist attack wasn’t Muslim but a “white nationalist”, on the news.
I would also argue that Islam promotes female equality. Look at the tv – females are half naked very often – “sex sells” as they say, and namely means selling the bodies of women (I mean who cares about their minds anymore? It seems like 50% of a female’s value is her body these days…. utterly disgusting :/. Jewish, Christian, or Muslim ideology wouldn’t have things this way.)
Islam tells us to make men and women conservative, just like Christianity and Judiasm. The difference is quite small – in order for a man to be conservative, he must be covered, but it is not required for him to cover his head but it is liked for him to do so. Look up what a khufi is. A female must cover her head in order to be declared conservtive, due to differences in sexual attraction between males and females. That is all.

Hey Jasmine! I completely agree with you that the Bible never said to disrespect and be rude to anybody, instead, our religion is built upon love and acceptance of everyone who is different, and that includes that religions of course!!

I would like to hear from an actual Mulsim, when the writer of this article says that the prophet fought in wars and did horrible things to women, what does it really mean?

I was born into Islam and there isn’t a single thing I agree with or even like about the religion. As kids we were always told this was “gunah” (a sin) and that was “gunah” and every effing thing was “gunah.” This religion tells basically people, “This world is a lie, nothing on earth matters, it’s all about the afterlife.” Get the eff out of here with that nonsense. We are not arab muslims but as kids we were expected to read the koran in arabic, without actually learning arabic…so basically just making sounds with our mouths- really?!? And from my own personal experiences, the most disgusting behaviors I’ve ever seen have always come from muslims- disrespect (esp for women and animals), rudeness, filth, etc. The more religious a muslim is, the worse they seem to be as a human being. So when I hear about people being anti-muslim I don’t blame them one bit.

“The most disgusting behaviour come from Muslims”, did you carry out a survey of some kind? How do you so casually make such a dangerous statement? All Muslims don’t have the same ideology (no, they do not share one mind), it’s really surprising to see how when a normal person does a crime he’s nothing but a criminal. But when a Muslim does something immoral, then religion comes into play and they seem to represent not only an entire religion but also the two billion people that follow that religion. You were _expected_ to read the Qur’an, but were you forced to?
Shane Emmanuel says
it is surprising to know what different religions say about fighting in the name of religion. check this.
Fighting/Struggling (Jihaad) for Truth:-
GEETA 2:32, 2:37, 11:34; RIG VEDA: 1:132:4;
BIBLE: Numbers 25:17, Luke 19:27, Deuteronomy 2:33-34;
Quran 4:135. you can get full details on this link.

The Geeta doesn’t talk to kill people of other religions. First you need to know about the society in Hinduism. There were kshtriyas who were called soldiers who were instructed to kill those who were the embodiment of evil. The whole purpose is winning of good over evil.

I have read the quaran several times and have several friends who were raised muslim as well as my own theological research of religion over the past 21 years and this article is absolutely spot on. Islam is not a religion of peace but a religion of violence and genocide. The educated leaders of most arab countries know this but, continue pushing it as a way to keep their tribe in power – read Brookings Institute: Islam as statecraft: How governments use religion in foreign policy or the Washington Post: Middle East regimes are using ‘moderate’ Islam to stay in power. Additional sources are abundant in print, blog, documentary, etc… Netflix has an excellent documentary in their “Documentary” section called “Saudi Arabia Uncovered” where they explain some of the reasons the regime enforces conservative/sharia islamic law to help them stay in power. It is not a documentary for those with a weak constitution as it has undercover footage of beatings, floggings, beheading and crucifixions of prisoners. Saudi Arabia is one of the West’s closest allies……..
Additionally, there are countless surveys regarding the 1.8 Billion muslims in the world and their convictions in regards to implementing sharia law and jihad in the West and the rest of the world. The surveys range from 10%-35% in favor. Using a conservative percentage of 15% of the 1.8 billion muslims in the world, that still leaves 270,000,000 in favor of jihad and sharia law in the world. Yes, 270 Million. The entire US population is only 331 Million people.
The Old Testament has its share of violence and slavery but an evolved human understands that mankind has evolved. However, islam is dictated to the billions as a doctrine to be followed to the extreme.
Even within the tribalism bloodlust of islam, there is genocidal rage between the two dominant denominations, shia and sunni. The genocidal hate and bloodlust is abundant……..
Islam is not only a security risk to the west but also to mankind and the multiple peaceful people and religions in the world. If you doubt what I am writing, I encourage you to do the research for yourself. Do not just read and listen to what is being said, but do the research you self.

Look sir, i am a Muslim but i don’t support killing of anyone, neither a true Muslim can harm or kill anyone.islam is all about justice,love, brotherhood……..
But people with radical thinking have degraded its meaning.
PROPHET MUHAMMAD S.A.W WAS THE MOST NOBLE PERSON ON EARTH.
please do some research on your own.
Krista says
But when the writer of the article said that the prophet caused wars and dod horrible things to women, was he lying? I would like to know your opinion as an actual Muslim. What is the story behind this? Is it completely made up? Or is there a different meaning behind it? If it’s not a hustle, I would love to hear your answer.

Yes he was lying trying to taking Quran and Hadith out of Context.

First of all, he never caused wars, he only fought back when they attacked him. And he never did any bad things to women, he married a lot of women because at the time a lot of women were enslaved so he married them to get them out of slavery.

Assalmuakum brother. I do not know how to add my own comment on here but I will just reply to yours to get my message across. I am a 17 year old muslim. Who used to be a disbeliever. And you may ask why did I turn back to Islam. Let me tell you. The Quran is the most beautiful thing I have ever read and heard. I cried when I read the Quran in English. And I interpret it my way. This on the other hand is the most funniest article I have ever read. May Allah have mercy on your soul. Saying that Prophet Muhammad (Peace be Upon Him) beheaded Jews is just BS. Where is your evidence in this whole entire article. I will give you evidence that Prophet Muhammad (Peace be Upon Him) did not do such a thing. https://www.alislam.org/question/did-prophet-muhammad-kill-700-jews/ This website explains everything. And OMG at the end of it it tells you references. Wow! Also don’t say well it could be just one man writing this. Nope! This article that I linked was made by professionals unlike you sir. Also you said the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be Upon Him) was run out of Mecca. FALSE! He had heard of a plot possibly that would harm him and he slipped out of Mecca with Abu Bakr and went to Medina. Also all of those Quran verses you said were saying something bad about Women. Two of them say and who restrain sexual passions. Let me explain what I think this means. Verse 23:1-5 it explains how a believer is successful. It says humble to his prayers 23:2 , who shun what is vain 23:3( i will explain what this means before you say something else stupid and take it out of context who do not do bad things aka haram things), who act with a sake of purity 23:4, and finally 23:5 and who restrains their sexual passion. Honestly sir I hope I offend you right now. Do you have a brain? Do you know how to read? Did you fall and hit your head? WHERE DOES IT SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUT WOMEN? I hate people who talk bad about my religion and those who spread lies. I truly hate you. And to you it won’t matter because I am just one child. But the one true God knows about this article and I know he would be upset about this. Also let me tell you something sir. Allah literally means God. The same God for Christians, Jews, Catholics. The reason why we call him Allah is because if we add an (s) after it it would mean Gods. And polytheism is shirk. So sir please either delete this or edit it where it truly gives evidence and the right facts. Not lies that your drunk rednecks group of islamophobia friends and you came up with. May Allah forgive me and you.

Absolute nonsense says
So basically you got it all wrong hehe im gonna be nice, even though this is heartbreaking, these are just stories you hear. First of All, Islam is a peaceful religion. These terrorists and these people, are not muslims, if they do this stuff they are not officialy in the religion of the islam. If you ever read the quran then you will know. but apparently it doesnt even look like you touched the quran. The quran talks about all the peaceful stuff. PRophet Muhammad SAW fought wars. Is there a problem?? hes trying to spread islam, so while he was spreading islam, he asked them to go submit to islam if they say no then he fights a war with them, he takes captives, to make them learn quran. SO basically youre saying that christian wars they never took captives. and he took women, but he didnt force them, to do anything he didnt beat them, he just took them as captives, and then let them go. So you have to look deeply in the matter before saying anything this is just absolute offensive. Research before you talk. Think before you talk.

My friends I as a muslim do not believe in any religions especially islam and the process of circumcision still hurting me, fasting- got nothing to eat , slaughtering of million animals to feed Allah= Mohamaad. Going to Macca to gravel who ? Islam is not a practical religion for example , in Koran chapter 2 \ 245 says who is it that will offer to Allah a goodly gift , so He multiplies it to him manifold?

Have you considered your statement might be incorrect my Christian (I assume) brother? “If one professes to be a certain faith but he/she does not follow the tenets of that faith, then it is that person, not the religion which is held accountable”. Just as most people do not blame so called ‘Christians atrocities’ on certain so-called Christian groups like the Army of God, or the KKK (which professed to be Christians) but I’d doubt today followers of Jesus would call individuals in these groups, Christian. By the way how many Muslim people do you know?
Babja says
The wicked actions of those claiming Christianity is condone in the Bible. However, wickedness is approved by the quran. Did you know the muslim books said false prophet wore a dress? lol, so muhammad was a violent, transsexual pedophile. And this is the example of muslim?

Educating Idiots Since 2000 says
Seriously? You’re going to cling to things that happened hundreds of years ago instead of dealing with the truth of today? That’s faulty logic at best. At worst, you’re willing choosing to be ignorant to further a flawed world view.
What is the Christian church doing today that is persecuting women, wiping out indigenous peoples, etc.? Are you aware of the mass killings of Christians throughout the Middle East and Africa in the name of Islam?
Please educate yourself instead of regurgitating the same old, “well Christians did the crusades, blah, blah, blah…”. There is truth and reality and you’d do well to be present in both.

Prophet Mohammed quotes about women:
The most complete believer in faith is the best in morals, and the best among you is the best to their wives.
Observe your duty to Allah in respect to the women, and treat them well.
Verily, women are the twin halves of men.
Quran Verses about women:
And for women are rights over men similar to those of men over women.” (Qur’an, 2: 228)
Their Lord responded to them: “I never fail to reward any worker among you for any work you do, be you male or female – you are equal to one another. (Qur’an, 9: 71)
Prophet Mohammed quotes about violence:
Beware! Whoever is cruel and harsh to a non-Muslim minority, curtailing their rights, overburdening them, or stealing from them, I will complain [to God] about that person on the Day of Judgement.
Do you know what is better than charity and fasting and prayer? It is keeping peace and good relations between people, as quarrels and bad feelings destroy mankind.
There is reward for kindness to every living thing.
The best among you are those who have the best manners and character.
Verily, Allah is mild and is fond of mildness, and He gives to the mild what He does not give to the harsh.
When two persons are together, two of them must not whisper to each other, without letting the third hear; because it would hurt him.
Kindness is a mark of faith and whoever is not kind has no faith.
The greatest Jihad is to battle your own soul. To fight the evil within yourself.
Best way to defend Islam, is to practice Islam.
When a husband and wife look at each other with love, Allah looks at both of them with mercy.
When a husband and wife look at each other with love, Allah looks at both of them with mercy.
a bier passed by Muhammad (pbuh), and he stood up; and it was said to him, “This is the bier of a Jew.” He responded, “Was it not the holder of a soul?”
When the bier of anyone passeth by thee, whether Jew, Christian, or Muslim, rise to thy feet.”
Shall I not tell you who will be forbidden from fire? It will be forbidden for every gentle, soft-hearted and kind person.
Cliz says
Just like the writer said, there are both positives and negatives, you choose the ones you want. Here are some bad ones:
Quran 4.34:
ٱلرِّجَالُ قَوَّٰمُونَ عَلَى ٱلنِّسَآءِ بِمَا فَضَّلَ ٱللَّهُ بَعْضَهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ وَبِمَآ أَنفَقُوا۟ مِنْ أَمْوَٰلِهِمْ ۚ فَٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتُ قَٰنِتَٰتٌ حَٰفِظَٰتٌ لِّلْغَيْبِ بِمَا حَفِظَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ وَٱلَّٰتِى تَخَافُونَ نُشُوزَهُنَّ فَعِظُوهُنَّ وَٱهْجُرُوهُنَّ فِى ٱلْمَضَاجِعِ وَٱضْرِبُوهُنَّ ۖ فَإِنْ أَطَعْنَكُمْ فَلَا تَبْغُوا۟ عَلَيْهِنَّ سَبِيلًا ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيًّا كَبِيرًا
Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has given one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from their wealth. So righteous women are devoutly obedient, guarding in [the husband’s] absence what Allah would have them guard. But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance – [first] advise them; [then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike them. But if they obey you [once more], seek no means against them. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted and Grand.
Hadith 7099:
Narrated Abu Bakra:
During the battle of Al-Jamal, Allah benefited me with a Word (I heard from the Prophet). When the Prophet heard the news that the people of the Persia had made the daughter of Khosrau their Queen (ruler), he said, “Never will succeed such a nation as makes a woman their ruler.”
Hadith-304:
Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri:
Once Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) went out to the Musalla (to offer the prayer) of `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 Messenger (ﷺ) ?” 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 Messenger (ﷺ)! 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.”
Also he said dogs, donkeys and women break your if they pass infront of a praying person.

This whole article is BIASED and clearly from a hypocrite and conservative point of view. Islam is an Arabic word meaning “submission” and in the religious context means “submission to the will of God”. “Islam” is derived from the Arabic word “sal’m” which literally means peace. Secondly, The message of Islam is, “Say, we believe in God and that which was revealed unto us, and that which was revealed unto Abraham
and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes, and that which was revealed unto Moses and Jesus, and the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and unto Him, we have surrendered” (The Qur’an, 3:84). Islam can be traced to Adam, the first prophet of Islam. The Qur’an was however revealed in 610 AD to the Prophet Mohammad (peace be on him; PBUH).
Secondly, Islam condemns terrorism and the killing of innocent lives. The word terrorism and Islam are contradictory. One cannot be a true Muslim and terrorist at the same time. The Qur’an states, “Who so ever kills a human being…it shall be as if he has killed all mankind and who so ever saves the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind” (The Qur’an 5:32). Suicide is also a grave sin in Islam. Only God has the right to give and take life.
I can literally pick words from the Bible and put them together. Making it seem like a religion of terror as well. I can write a whole essay on that and end with (as I use your stupid words) “The unpleasant truth is that the Bible teaches faithful Christians to be at war with Muslims until they are all subdued. That is one wacky religion.” But Habibi, I’d rather not. Wanna know why? Because the Bible is also a sacred book to the Muslim: Tawrat (Torah or the Law) revealed to Musa (Moses), the Zabur (Psalms) revealed to Dawud (David), the Injil (the Gospel) revealed to Isa (Jesus).
So imma just end of with few quotes, so your illiterate brain can actually READ the whole Qur’an or even visit a mosque and learn from an Imam. Clearly, you’re making shit up. Don’t even bother replying to me. I’m a student with a Bachelors’s degree in World History at York University and now doing my Masters. I have a lot of knowledge than you. I can say that LOUD and PROUDLY. Clearly, you’re just a goof with a high school diploma.
“O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm for Allah, witnesses in justice, and do not let the hatred of a people prevent you from being just. Be just; that is nearer to righteousness. And fear Allah; indeed, Allah is Acquainted with what you do.”
(5:8)
“Whoever wrongs one with whom a covenant has been made, burdens him with more than he can bear or forcibly takes something from him, I will be his adversary on the Day of Judgment,” as narrated by Sawfan Ibn Sulaim through a number of the Companions’ children [30 narrators according to the version of Ibn Zangawiyah and al-Baihaqi] who directly narrated from their fathers. [Recorded by Abu Dawud in his Sunan, Ibn Zangawiyah in Al-Amwal and al-Baihaqi in As-Sunan Al-Kubra]
“And if they incline to peace, then incline to it [also] and rely upon Allah. Indeed, it is He who is the Hearing, the Knowing.”
(8:61)
“Indeed, those who have believed [in Prophet Muhammad] and those [before Him] who were Jews or Sabeans or Christians – those [among them] who believed in Allah and the Last Day and did righteousness – no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve.”
(5:69)
“[w]hoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land – it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one – it is as if he had saved mankind entirely.”
(5:32)

Wonderful, the only thing l could say about all this is, the people who have learnt the real so called peaceful islam should take efforts to teach other muslim who have learnt islam in wrong way, because there are majority of them who interpret this peaceful teachings as violance.
Cliz says
Absolute babble. The author never spoke of christianity, yet to resort to whatabout-ism. All religions are medieval ideas, so ofcourse all are quite pro-slavery and violent, gender inequal and homophobic.
Quran 4:89:
They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause of Allah. But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them and take not from among them any ally or helper.
Quran 2:216:
“Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not.”
Quran 9:5:
“So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captive and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them.”
Quran 9:123:
“O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness.”
Quran 25:52:
“Therefore listen not to the Unbelievers, but strive against them with the utmost strenuousness with it.”
Quran 47:35:
“Be not weary and faint-hearted, crying for peace, when ye should be uppermost (Shakir: “have the upper hand”) for Allah is with you,”
Quran 48:22:
Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. And those with him are hard (ruthless) against the disbelievers and merciful among themselves”
And these are just a few, the violent verses quite outnumber the ‘peaceful’ ones, and add the hadith, and it can become a bloodbath. Like the author pointed out, he was quite ‘tolerant’ at the start, with peaceful verses, but overwrote’em all when he gained power at medina, you should read the Quran with context.
Proud ExMuslim says
Lol, your quote is totally wrong and out of context.
“Who so ever kills a human being…it shall be as if he has killed all mankind and who so ever saves the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind”
The above quote is an instruction to Jews – people of the book and is not directed towards Muslims.
Apologists such as yourself like to pick and choose it to pretend you have good intentions…
Funny how you never fully quote 5:32 because then it would be clear that God is addressing Jews, not Muslims:
The real quote is;
“That is why We ordained for the Children of Israel that whoever takes a life—unless as a punishment for murder or mischief in the land—it will be as if they killed all of humanity; and whoever saves a life, it will be as if they saved all of humanity.”
Let’s dig a little deeper into this evil cult now, shall we?
Islam is full of violence.
* Quran (9:29) – “Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.”
* Sahih Muslim (19:4294) – “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”
* Ishaq 956 & 962 – “He who withholds the Jizya is an enemy of Allah and His apostle.”
**apostasy**
* 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). 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.”
* Quran (9:11-12) – “But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then are they your brethren in religion. We detail Our revelations for a people who have knowledge. And if they break their pledges after their treaty (hath been made with you) and assail your religion, then fight the heads of disbelief – Lo! they have no binding oaths – in order that they may desist.”
* Sahih Bukhari (52:260) – “…The Prophet said, ‘If somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him.’ ”
* Sahih Bukhari (84:57) – [In the words of] “Allah’s Apostle, ‘Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him.'”
* Sahih Bukhari (89:271) – A man who embraces Islam, then reverts to Judaism is to be killed according to “the verdict of Allah and his apostle.”
* Sahih Bukhari (84:64-65) – “Allah’s Apostle: ‘During the last days there will appear some young foolish people who will say the best words but their faith will not go beyond their throats (i.e. they will have no faith) and will go out from (leave) their religion as an arrow goes out of the game. So, wherever you find them, kill them, for whoever kills them shall have reward on the Day of Resurrection.'”
This keeps going on for quite a while so i will go ahead and move on
**slavery**
* Quran (33:50) – “O Prophet! We have made lawful to thee thy wives to whom thou hast paid their dowers; and those (slaves) whom thy right hand possesses out of the prisoners of war whom Allah has assigned to thee”
* Quran (23:5-6) – “..who abstain from sex, except with those joined to them in the marriage bond, or (the captives) whom their right hands possess…”
* Quran (4:24) – “And all married women (are forbidden unto you) save those (captives) whom your right hands possess.”
* Quran (2:178) – “O ye who believe! Retaliation is prescribed for you in the matter of the murdered; the freeman for the freeman, and the slave for the slave, and the female for the female.”
**forced conversion into islam**
* Quran (8:38-39) – “Say to those who have disbelieved, if they cease (from disbelief) their past will be forgiven… 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.”
* Quran (9:29) – “Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.”
* 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 practice regular charity, then open the way for them…”
* Quran (2:193) – “And fight them until fitna is no more, and religion be only for Allah. But if they desist, then let there be no hostility except against wrong-doers.”
**democracy**
* Quran (33:36) – “It is not fitting for a Believer, man or woman, when a matter has been decided by Allah and His Messenger to have any option about their decision.”
* Quran (18:26) – “Allah… makes none to share in His Decision and His Rule”
* Quran (45:21) – “What! Do those who seek after evil ways think that We shall hold them equal with those who believe and do righteous deeds,- that equal will be their life and their death? Ill is the judgment that they make.”
* Quran (5:44) – “Whosoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed is among the disbelievers.”
* Quran (4:141) – “…And never will Allah grant to the unbelievers a way (to triumphs) over the believers.”
* Quran (63:8) – “…might (power) belongs to Allah and to His messenger and to the believers;”
* Quran (5:49) – “So judge between them by that which Allah hath revealed, and follow not their desires, but beware of them lest they seduce thee from some part of that which Allah hath revealed unto thee”
* Quran (12:40) – “…Allah hath sent down no authority: the command is for none but Allah…”
**homosexuality**
* Quran (7:80-84) – “…For ye practice your lusts on men in preference to women: ye are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds…. And we rained down on them a shower (of brimstone)”
* Quran (7:81) – “Will ye commit abomination such as no creature ever did before you?”
* Quran (26:165-166) – “Of all the creatures in the world, will ye approach males, “And leave those whom Allah has created for you to be your mates? Nay, ye are a people transgressing”
* Quran (4:16) – “If two men among you are guilty of lewdness, punish them both. If they repent and amend, Leave them alone”
* Abu Dawud (4462) – The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “Whoever you find doing the action of the people of Loot, execute the one who does it and the one to whom it is done.”

It is interesting you blame the author of this article to be biased and a hypocrite.
And then you quote ““[w]hoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land – it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one – it is as if he had saved mankind entirely.”
(5:32)”
Have you even read the verse? I ask because you only quote half of the verse
“That is why We ordained for the Children of Israel that whoever takes a life—unless as a punishment for murder or mischief in the land—it will be as if they killed all of humanity; and whoever saves a life, it will be as if they saved all of humanity.1 ˹Although˺ Our messengers already came to them with clear proofs, many of them still transgressed afterwards through the land. ”
So this a verse for Jews. Not for muslims.
The verse for muslims is 5:33
Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and spread mischief in the land is death, crucifixion, cutting off their hands and feet on opposite sides, or exile from the land. This ˹penalty˺ is a disgrace for them in this world, and they will suffer a tremendous punishment in the Hereafter.
https://quran.com/5/33
Ibn Kathir explains what “Wage war” and “mischief in the land” means (https://quran.com/5:32/tafsirs/en-tafisr-ibn-kathir)
`Wage war’ mentioned here means, oppose and contradict, and it includes disbelief, blocking roads and spreading fear in the fairways. Mischief in the land refers to various types of evil.”
So CONTRADICTING MUSLIMS is sufficient ground for the punishment described in 5:33
Who is now the hypocrite? Or the ignoramus?
The Author? Ibn Kathir? or You?

I have WHY questions to muslims
WHY do you always think western people must be Christian? Well, THEY ARE NOT!! Do you think the Charlie Hebdo cartoonist are Christian? Many of western people don’t have any particular religion.. Yes there are a lot of churches in Europe but it doesn’t mean that European must be Christian. Christmas is just a festival. They don’t celebrate the birth of Jesus.
That’s the fact that in Quran there are sword verses and that’s the fact as well there are Islam terrorist around the world because they believe they are practising the Quran. Now, have you ever heard Christian terrorist? I don’t think so. I agree that massacre in Christchurch NZ is totally unacceptable. But do you think he did that based on verses in Bible? It is not. He just hate Muslim. So stop comparing Quran and Bible.
WHY there is slogan Islam is Peace? I have never heard any slogan Christian or Buddhist or Jews is Peace.. Peace is created by practising not slogan…so prove it please
For those who doesn’t like the freedom of expression in western world, well just leave the country. Nobody force you to live there.
Peace
Meener says
I always find it interesting how people are so shocked and offended when religions talk about killing or fighting or defending. If this is a real revaluation from our creator should it not give guidance on what to do in defense of Gods message? Two thousand years of humanity after Jesus and have we not had a need for war? Have we not had a need for punishment? Is there no crime? Is there no evil? How can a message survive if those who are meant to spread it die? “Beheaded jews?” Is that really mentioned without mentioning their role in the betrayal of the Muslims? Multiple times? They agreed to be a safe neutral state but instead betrayed their word and plotted against the Muslims. It didn’t matter if they were Jews or Christians or Hindus…what mattered were their actions.
I encourage everyone to review the guidance on violence during war from their own religions, if they even exist. I guarantee the religion with the most fair and logical rules and guidelines will be Islam.

The exact opposite, in fact. When typing “world’s most violent religions” in the address bar, the top results are entirely about Islam. This view you champion is ridiculous and despicable.

krishna murari says
islam is a religion which is a highly intolerant religion. koran’s alternate verse is directed towards annihilation of non muslims,which it calls kafir..it is most expansionist religion.it spread on the brute force of the sword..
at several places in the kuran muslims are told to force jehad on non muslims,polytheists &idolaters,these non muslims are to be put to swords or are to be thrown in burning .fire
they are promised a place in paradise where there is a garden for them with fruits and fragrant flowers. a stream of cold waters flows beneath them.beautiful young damsels dressed in satin clothes are there for their enjoyment.
talibanis promise 70 young girls(hurs) to induct new jehadis to jehads.these girls they will get when they die in jehad and they go to paradise.on earth rhey give them talbani girls for enjoyment and to be thrown away after enjoyment.
women are like cattle in islam.muslims can marry as many as 4 women and can keep as many concubines as they desire.they can throw away their wife by saying talaq 3 times.the meher is never paid because koran enjoins women to shun demand for payment of meher. muslim husbands are not reqd to pay alimony to their divorced wives.
paigambar mohd had 13 wives.one of them was his daughter in law,koran allows muslims to have sex with their dhaughter in lawhe had nothing in his character making him worshippable,he was a debauch.he was a mad warrior fighting for spread of islam.he had first wars with his own relatives.did nothing for the good of society or mankind.
muslims treat their women as substandard human beings,the worth of a woman in islam is half of that of man.
recently indian sunni muslim personal law board said women did not have any intelligence and are not fit to decide womens issue.
when muslim issues are discussed on indian television, the bearded illmannered maulanas openly abuse the women panelists & even physically assault them.
islam is an obdurant religion,is not amenable to change.it destroys local culture.muslims in india use umbrellas when it rains in saudi arabia.urdu is a very good but a dying language.who killed urdu ? muslims killed it by associating it with islam. otherwise urdu was rhe language of punjab.itwas the language of hindus,sikhs, christians and every punjabi. in the past punjabi hindus read gita,ramayan & mahabharat not in sanskrit but in urdu.
urdu is older than hindi.when muslims linked urdu to their religion, hindus discarded urdu and supported hindi. overwhelmingly more hindus were speaking urdu than muslims,so when hindus left urdu,irreparable damage was done to urdu.now in hindi states of india even muslims have left urdu and are learning hindi instead.
not that everything in islam is black.islam is having some attributes which are not there in any other religion.
islam forbids dishonesty,drinking,gambling which noother religion does. mussalman means some body having mussalam iman that is solid or rocklike honesty.
all religions are having many outdated traits.they need reforms, as the author rightly says,Christians are the leaders in reforms.just because they are educated.

It does not in any way. “O believers! It is not permissible for you to inherit women against their will1 or mistreat them to make them return some of the dowry ˹as a ransom for divorce˺—unless they are found guilty of adultery.2 Treat them fairly. If you happen to dislike them, you may hate something which Allah turns into a great blessing.”
This refers to the treatment of women. It has nothing to do with violence. Any religion that orders its followers to kill those who leave it does not deserve praise or reconciliation of any sort.

Please, sir, do your research BEFORE posting these lies.
Common senss says
Does that violence have anything to do with the scripture though? These are messed up people though the bible doesn’t command to do these acts. The ChristChurch terrorist killed around 50 innocent lives, terrible, but not hundreds. So are you then going to ignore Muslim suicide bombers weeks after who killed over 300 worshipers in church. The media didn’t cover that did they.
hello says
For sure forcing someone to join a religion is worse than killing them until they join your religion! For sure brutally impaling an invading army is completely immoral!
Yes, the Christchurch terrorist was an absolute piece of trash and deserves punishment even I can’t imagine. But where’s the hypocrisy in calling this out? Muslim beheadings of non-Muslims happened before the Spanish conquest era and happen after it. Vlad the Impaler was defending his country from an invading army. You also mentioned Spain but forgot about the fact that Spain was invaded and ravaged by Muslims for centuries until they finally lost the war in 1492

But as for these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slaughter them before me.’”
2 Chronicles 15:12-13
And they entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul, but that whoever would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, should be put to death, whether young or old, man or woman.
Leviticus 20:13
If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.
Leviticus 20:27
“A man or a woman who is a medium or a necromancer shall surely be put to death. They shall be stoned with stones; their blood shall be upon them.”
Deuteronomy 17:12
“The man who acts presumptuously by not obeying the priest who stands to minister there before the Lord your God, or the judge, that man shall die. So you shall purge the evil from Israel”.
A lot more in the Bible…..
Jenkins is a professor at Penn State University and author of two books dealing with the issue: the recently published Jesus Wars, and Dark Passages, which has not been published but is already drawing controversy:
Violence in the Quran, he and others say, is largely a defense against attack.
“By the standards of the time, which is the 7th century A.D., the laws of war that are laid down by the Quran are actually reasonably humane,” he says.
“Then we turn to the Bible, and we actually find something that is for many people a real surprise. There is a specific kind of warfare laid down in the Bible which we can only call genocide.”
Your understanding of Islam is very limited like many people out there, their hatred of truth and the belief of one of God blinds them from understanding their existence, so when they try to challenge Islam they lack the insight knowledge, therefore, they try to bring out of context arguments for deviation so they can justify their wrongdoing.
If you are an honest and intelligent human being with a sound mind searching for the truth, then read the Holy Quran properly and compare it to your Bible either Catholic Bible or Protestant or new version, old version or king james version or any other version of the Bible you can get your hands on it, see which ones make sense to your life.

Most of Verses u mentioned were out of context so shut up
John says
The verses of the bible you show are not practiced nowadays. They are intended for the old testament times when God asked his people to practice according to all His commandments about ceremonial law, health law, social laws etc. So nearly all Christians don’t practice in this age.
And a newtestamet verse you show is not actual Christ’s order – that is the thing in the story Jesus said.
So Christians do not commit terrorism with the Bible verses just as Muslims do with their Quran verses.
M.A. says
Most of what you listed was the punishment for Jews who commited sins worthy of death.
The God of the bible actually told his people to KILL EVERYONE that was left alive in the lands they were sent into to conquer. It also describes repeatedly that more died by acts of God (hailstorms, plague,famine,floods,earthquakes) than by the swords of the Jews. This is because God went ahead of them by about a week before the army followed. The scriptures say those people were “set apart for destruction” by God because of the very sins you pointed out along with others. He told them DO NOT SPARE ANY OF THEM IF YOU DO THEY WILL CORRUPT YOU WITH THEIR WAYS. It would be hypocritical to condemn an entire people to death for those sins and let Jews live if they commited them. Those scriptures are proof God is no respector of persons, what was worthy of death for the inhabitants of those lands was also worthy of death for a Jew as well.
The fact is the scriptures repeatedly say those other people that were intergrated into the Jewish community (against Gods warning) continued to worship their gods, built alters, sacrificed to them and enticed Jews to do the same and corrupted them, they were not required nor did they covert to Judaism.
The fact is God only began offering gentiles a chance to convert after Jesus came, until then a person followed the gods of their fathers.
This conversion is NEVER forced, in fact it is a drawing to the spirit of God. In short it is a DESIRE to come to God, you can not make someone love God. You can force someone to do everything scriptures say and yet they can hate God in their heart and the God of the bible knows the heart of man and desires their love along with obedience….not just obedience. This is why Jesus never forced conversion, he said those who will hear/see will hear/see and he NEVER said to kill or enslave those who don’t convert, their fate was left to judgement day.
The clear differences in how your god thinks compared to the God of the bible makes it all to clear they are not the same being not a misunderstanding.
In fact the koran and the hadiths make it clear they are enemies.
The God of the bible says in 1Timothy 6:14-16 Jesus is ‘KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS’ The allah of the koran hates that very king. In fact he says the most vilest name in his sight is the king of kings. The most wretched person in his sight on the day of judgement and target of all his wrath is the person who is called ‘the king of kings’.
I will point out allah said ‘person’ not persons or people called king of kings, thus only ONE person holds that name.
Never has their been nor will there every be anyone else who will be called King of Kings except Jesus, he has that title it is litterally written on his thigh and the armies of heaven follow him in Revelations 19: 11-16. The rider that is the king of kings is NAMED ‘the word of God’ so allah hates the word of God.

My Dear Mighty Muslima,
There is a difference between old and new testaments. Jesus came to fulfill the law. Jesus is the new covenant.
The scripture in Luke is a parable that Jesus was speaking to his disciples. Do you know what’s a parable?
Dont rely on muslims to teach you anything.
Anika says
You are quoting verses in the Bible where death is condoned. But I don’t see Christians out killing people- as we often see with Muslims.
There are Muslims who murder- who do follow these instructions in the Quran to kill. This is why the author has penned this article. So quoting another religion’s idiotic doctrine to kill isn’t really solving anything. It is only pointing out more foolishness and darkness of humanity, in yet another religion. It’s all so heartbreaking. It points out where we’ve lost our way, missing the entire point of the preciousness of why we are here.
☦️ says
Hello idiot. Christians don’t follow Old Testament ceremonial laws of punishment. You should be familiar with the general concept since abrogation is such a core part of your religion. As for Luke 19:27, if you actually read the chapter instead of parroting it from others, you would know that it is a parable about the last judgement, not a command for everyday Christians AT ALL. 2 Chronicles 15:12-13 is referring to a group of people that made a covenant with God and imposed on THEMSELVES death if they themselves broke it. Don’t think you can just get away with misinterpreting scripture and not get called out on it.

Im telling u don’t know the follow of quran and u re liar
Abdul Muid says
im a muslim and the amount of bs in this just went over my head.
Do you know what comes before this verse?
No?
It says : Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you but do not trangress limits for Allah loves not the transgressors. (Quran 2:190)
In the earlier verse it is very clearly stated to fight only those who attacks first.
Then Allah says : And kill them wherever you overtake them and expel them from wherever they have expelled you, and fitnah is worse than killing. And do not fight them at al-Masjid al- Haram until they fight you there. But if they fight you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers. (Quran 2:191)
Now,do you know what verses come after this?
No?
Okay. I’ll let you know.
It says : And if they cease, then indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. (Quran 2:192)
Fight them until there is no [more] fitnah and [until] worship is [acknowledged to be] for Allah . But if they cease, then there is to be no aggression except against the oppressors. (Quran 2:193)
This is one of the verses which Islamophobes use against us to prove that we are violent, when in fact Allah orders us not to fight unless attacked. And even then if they stop, we are to discontinue fighting.
please do complete research before posting BS

The KKK is a terrorist group isn’t it? Does that mean all Christians are terrorists, no. I shouldn’t receive hate for practicing my religion the same way as other religions shouldn’t. In my 13 years of living I’ve had my hijab pulled off, called many vulgar things, and even some violence for being a muslim yet we are always labeled the violent ones. Based on my experiences would it be right for me to hate all Christians, no. I have common sense and realize everyone has a mind of their own and their actions are a result of it, not their faith.
Dan Atatakai says
Well stated! So many people take the claims of radical people who have twisted meanings without realizing that their assumption of meanings does not mean what they think.
The “Infidel” of which the Qur’an mentions to “kill” is the invader of one’s lands, who would rape, pillage, and murder people in their homes. It had nothing to do with anyone who is not Muslim.
Is there not also the passage that says something to the effect of:
“To harm a single person is equivalent to harming all of humanity. To help a single person is the same as helping all of humanity.”?
Amazing how many people do not decide to include that in their claims of hatred.
Lordez says
I doupt, the hands of muslims are not clean and the worst part about islams the hide many of their doctrine.

Well said! Please then, tell this to the other people in the religion of Islam. It seems there’s a misunderstanding and so people who are not Muslim are being killed.
When Westerners or Christians write responses, it is not because they are looking for someone to randomly insult. It seems to me they are responding because some Muslims are murdering people. If the verses are so very clear, why is there a misunderstanding among some people who follow Mohammed?
Proud ExMuslim says

Funny how they never fully properly quote 5:32 because then it would be clear that God is addressing Jews, not Muslims:

Syncrow says
Well that is quite the cherry picking approach way of reading those verses if you read them and only see that you should only kill when attacked. Here, I’ll highlight the sections you decided to skip over:
“It says : Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you but do not trangress limits for Allah loves not the transgressors. (Quran 2:190)” The limits invoked include killing non-Muslims.
“Then Allah says : And kill them wherever you overtake them and expel them from wherever they have expelled you, and fitnah is worse than killing.” It says to kill them whenever you overtake them first. The later passage is when the enemy has overtaken you. Not to mention it only says you shouldn’t fight them in at al-Masjid and al- Haram.
Muhammed Was A Peado. says
There is nothing that makes a sane person wince than human beings who indiviual minds have been completely obliterated and indoctrinated into a cult ideology and they rant and rave and have no rational objectivity or sense.
The more pressure you put on Muslims with argument and critical analysis the more insane most of them get, the more emotional they get, the more cognitive dissonance between was has been shovelled into their heads in the religion echo chamber of fanatical Muslims they’ve been surrounded by all their lives and people outside of that who criticise it. A killer rage is the end result in many situations where they are in the majority and can do so with impugnity, like in Pakistan or somewhere devoutly fundamentalist. Even in countries where they are a minority and they’ll be inprisoned many reach that level. Because it is pure fanaticism wrapped up in an ideology or pure totalitarian, created by a peadophilic maniac with a messiah complex..
Most of the ‘BS went over your head’? No, you mean you do what all brainwashed people do, you ignore everything you don’t want to acknowledge and pick those bits you think you can reason away.
If they fight you, then kill them. Not take them as prisoners, but simply kill all of them. Not trying to sue for peace with diplomacy, self-control, tolerance, but kill them.
And yet, ”oh, no, you try to say Islam is violent. This is lie from Islamophobe. You know not real Islam. Go and read the Qu’ran properly my brothers’.
Absolute nutters. In truth, your religion and it’s spread in the West, the most advanced society ever, which went through it’s own dark period of religious fanaticism and all the violence, intolerance, irrationality, murder that entails, only to go through a scientific revolution that freed people from having to adhere to religion on fear of being put to death for being a heretic if they dared question religion.
We discovered how things really worked. And when we did, the primitive, ridiculous ways that books like the Koran told its ignorant, illiterate, credulous early audience and which has been swallowed since, and those in the Bible and other man made books, were made to look pathetic and just the same magical thinking as believing in father Christmas or fairies.
Here’s a list of the absurdities in the Quran. But you guys will convince yourself and lie to yourself about anything, because to even doubt Islam for a second makes you freak out.

But I wonder why a full God would encourage to kill. I mean am a Christian and u will say oh ok the Old Testament God killed, yes He did and that was to fulfill his promises. But when u come to the New Testament everything changes. God does not permit such violence and that’s the God I would like to follow. In fact he warns us of the troubles to come for the sake of the gospel and never at once did he ever say kill whoever does not blv. Bse Faith is a personnel choice.

The bible says turn the other cheek and forgive not fight. The Bible says violence begats violence. Whereas, as you have just stated, the quoran says kill people who attack you. Very different view of peace there eh.

Hi Everyone,
My brother in humanity Flip Huggenvik the writer, I really feel sorry for him, he is either ignorant of Islam or he just wants to divert people from knowing the true Islam, I challenge him to show me a verse in the Holy Quran that force non-Muslims to accept Islam, Islam is a religion that does not need intermediator between God and his servant, if you force someone to accept Islam you turn them into hypocrites, they become faithless, and God (Allah) does not like the hypocrites.
In the Holy Quran, Chapter 1 Verse 256 of (Al-Baqar) God Said:
“There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion. The right course has become clear from the wrong”.
And in another verse Chapter 16 Verse 125 (An-Nahl):
“Invite (all) to the way of your Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching, and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious: for thy Lord knoweth best, who have strayed from His Path, and who receive
guidance”.
And many other verses in the Holy Quran Allah (God) instruct the Muslims to call to Islam with wisdom and good manners, and I invite everyone to read the Holy Quraan with an open mind to see for themselves.
In relation to the ignorant about Islam Flip Huggenvik who seeking fame, please read the Holy Quran properly if you are a genuine human being seeking the truth, but if you are a liar and manipulating person you won’t be able to fool everyone.
Finally, I don’t know if you believe in Christianity, Judaism or anything else you know & I know that Almighty Allah (God) will judge us all. Salaam Peace.

Thank you for this comemnt. I almsot cried when i read this article about our religion because its totally not true. Islam doesn’t tell us to do such stuff. Infact allah told us that those who inflicts violence and abuse against the innocents including the non muslims will have the worst place in hell. This was for the terrorists. Our religion forbids us to harm any living thing. Even a plant. And not to use violence unless its for self defence and even islam says to spare your enemy in war if rhe enemy asks for it. Islam doesnt claim people like the extremists. Also apparently Muhammad pbuh established the mecca with the jews so he didnt kill them. Im so happy that ypu made this comemnt. Rhank you and have a nice day. Stay safe too :))
Jiniya amin says
And also sorry for all the typos.
John Gleeson says
”Our religion forbids us to harm any living thing.”
Have you ever watched a stoning? A beheading? Have you ever seen people get their hands cut off for being a thief?
”Our religion forbids us to harm any living thing. Even a plant. And not to use violence unless it is for self-defence?”
This is beyond words. It’s shows you how insane brainwashing is and what is does to people.
In the same paragraph you claim your forbidden from harming anyone. And yet, in the next say it’s cool to kill people in self-defense.
It’s scary. Nearly 2 billion people believe this lunacy. The ramblings of a influencial, charismatic, powerful man with severe psychological issues and a messiah complex who rambled so much contridictory crap over the years depending on his whims at the time, and some how managed to create a following of fanatics and sycophants to hang on every word and lionise him and take him and his mad, delusional claims to be true.
If a man came along in 2020 in a Western country and made the same claims, he’d be institutionalized, or would be given pariah status, like David Icke.
Shane says
Read the Quran again buddy
It is clear how to gain Paradise
It is clear to those that wish to have it
The only ways are to wage Jihad which is not a struggle .
To promote Islam and Sharia in a non Sharia land .
Nothing in History has killed Or Raped more Women than Islam .
It is clear that the Sword Verses teach the violence and to be a Martyr .
It is also clear by Muhammad lying to us .
He says a true Prophet cannot lie
It is not possible
But yet he says Jesus a man mentioned much more than him in the Quran is a true Prophet but not the Son of God as Jesus claimed ?
Which way did Muhammad lie to us ?
Rashmin says
Hi Shane,
Your vague comment did give NO proofs from the Holy Quran, bring forth a verse from the Holy Quran that allow any true Muslim to transgress and force any other human being regardless of their faith to accept Islam.
Firstly, It is clear that you did not understand my previous comment, here to you again “ Islam is a religion that does not need intermediator between God and his servant if you FORCE someone to accept Islam you turn him or her into a hypocrite, he or she becomes faithless, and God (Allah) does not like the hypocrites.” And whoever transgresses and force another human being to accept Islam, he or she commits a very serious sin.
Allah (God) says in the Holy Quran:
Chapter 2 Verse 256 (Al Baqara)
“ There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion. The right course has become clear from the wrong. So whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy handhold with no break in it. And Allah is Heareth and knoweth all things.’’
Chapter 29 verse 46 (Al Ankabut)
“And do not argue with the People of the Scripture except in a way that is best, except for those who commit injustice among them, and say, “We believe in that which has been revealed to us and revealed to you. And our God and your God is one; and we are Muslims [in submission] to Him.”
To enter paradise you must fulfil what Allah (God) commands you, but you falsely assumed forcing people to accept Islam gets you to paradise, that’s why many of Christians and Jews lived with Muslims side by side throughout the centuries in peace and respect of each other’s faith. Read the following verse, Allah (God) said in the Holy Quran:
Chapter 4 Verse 124 (An-Nisa)
“And whoever does righteous deeds, whether male or female, -and have faith, they will enter Paradise and will not be wronged, and not the least injustice will be done to them.’’
Read what Allah (God) said about Muhammed(PBUH)
Chapter 10 Verse 41 (Yunus)
“And if they deny you, [O Muhammad], then say, “For me are my deeds, and for you are your deeds. You are disassociated from what I do, and I am disassociated from what you do.”
Allah (God) knows well that they will be many people like you who will deny the truth, reject and slander the last prophet (PBUH) but they will only fool and mislead people like them, read what Allah (God) said in the Holy Quran.
Chapter 6 Verse 34 (Al-An’am)
“And certainly were messengers denied before you, but they were patient over [the effects of] denial, and they were harmed until Our victory came to them. And none can alter the words of Allah. And there has certainly come to you some information about the [previous] messengers.’’
Jesus (PUH) worshipped on God and he was denied by the Jews , Moses called for the worship of one God and he was denied by pharaoh and his people, Jacob, Isaac, Ibrahim(Abraham) and many other prophets and messengers peace & blessing of God upon them all were rejected, denied and belied by their people because they called for the worship of one God, so Allah(God) told Muhammed(PBUH) that many of your people and many of the people will come after them will deny your messge and slander you until the end of time because you call them to the worship one God, read what Allah (God) said:
Chapter 24 Verse 54 (An-Nur)
Say, “Obey Allah and obey the Messenger; but if you turn away – then upon him is only that [duty] with which he has been charged, and upon you is that with which you have been charged. And if you obey him, you will be [rightly] guided. And there is not upon the Messenger except the [responsibility for] clear notification.”
Finally, I will leave you to read and to ponder what Allah (God) said in this chapter in the Holy Quran.
Chapter 109
1. Say, “O disbelievers.
2. I do not worship what you worship.
3. Nor do you worship what I worship.
4. Nor do I serve what you serve.
5. Nor do you serve what I serve.
6. You have your way, and I have my way.”
It’s your life Shane, you decide what you want to believe or what you want to take or deny, for sure you and I one day will die and meet our creator who will judge between all of us, Salaam Peace.

I don’t like the way Muslims treat the woman.
In some countries it is way to strict on the woman. Can’t even drive! Married off when still to young.
Genitalia operations.
Making them wear certain clothing.
It’s not right, surpression.
My should these humans just because they are female be treated so poorly.
The day any Muslim woman can swim toppless or in a bikini at the beach just because SHE feels like is want true respect is about. Stop bullying the woman.
Johnny says
You need to calm down and get a grip. You’re reactions are typically emotive and the response of someone brainwashed to believe something is perfect.
Somehow Muhammad had that ‘IT factor’ that Hitler had, where he could totally convince those around of his view point to the point that they’re worshipped him and followed him blindly.
What you are doing machine gunning all these quotes from a book that is abjectly ridiculous to normal people, as if those things are facts, rather than nonsense statement that you need to indoctrinated into and believe without real proof are true, is simply cherry picking and selective bias.
Logical fallacies that do no prove your point. They show your personal interpretation of a very select versus out of many, many thousands of contradictory ones.
You thinking doing the wall ‘o text thing and just spamming as many as possible will prove your point.
For many Muslims, spreading the religion is paramount. It’s encouraged. Yes there are versus which say you can’t for people or compel them against their will.
But many other versus that are taken that way, because of the history of Islam shows Muslims doing that. There was outrage in Pakistan recently about a law that sought to outlaw forced conversions, which it was claimed by fundamentalists was ‘anti-Islamic’.
You don’t have any self-awareness or objectivity, and just have your conception of Islam, which your follow devoutly, because you seriously believe in this day and age, the brainwashing that says one day you’re going to be in front of the headmaster and asked to explain your life choices and will either go to heaven for eternity or be burnt in hell. But you can avoid all that by just submitting your mind and giving it away completely to follow whatever Muhammad asserted to be while claiming he channeling God himself.
It so utterly childish and foolish. Only those of us free from religion indoctrination could ever grasp what a massive con it is. Children are forgiven for believing if they are a good little boy or girl Santa will come to their house on Christmas and deliver all the things they want, because they are children and innocent.
But for adults to still believe this whole thing was set up so a perverse male superbeing could decide who to let live in heaven and who to burn to death for eternity is psychotic.
It’s the most pathetic manifestation of human stupidity, gullibility and derangement you can get.
It’s pathetically paranoid, subservient, squirming, ingratiating, cowardly to live your live conforming to a truly warped sense of morals concocted by a lunatic who took fancy to a 6 year old and sexually molested her at 9, who condones polygamy, mass murder, maiming, stoning, domestic violence, genital mutilation and peadophilia, just in the most fawning, submissive, lickspittle manner, and in the most selfish and self-serving way you can possibly get, just to get in his good books and be granted ‘eternal paradise’.
It’s insane. And I’m shit scared there are nearly billion people who believe that and are spreading like wild-fire in the West, because they are going to make what we see throughout the Islamic world, more and more prominent in the West.
God's most faithful says
Nicely stated, now the prophet or disciple of Jesus who is called John has said:
John 3:16 “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.”.
Now, this is God who has truly created the world, allowed sin by Adam and Eve and all their descendants, then saves the entire planet by his own blood to forgive our sin…
Try reading the teachings of Jesus within the New Testaments please for your sake and the sake of your children, and children’s children…
NOTE: Old testament describes the Law of God, the New Testament is the love of God!
Hamza says
The “Sword verse” were revealed for those polytheists who broke their treaty.
“This is a declaration of] disassociation, from Allah and His Messenger, to those with whom you had made a treaty among the polytheists”(9:1)
“Excepted are those with whom you made a treaty among the polytheists and then they have not been deficient toward you in anything or supported anyone against you;”(9:4)
“And if any one of the polytheists seeks your protection, then grant him protection so that he may hear the words of Allah . Then deliver him to his place of safety.”(9:6)
“How can there be for the polytheists a treaty in the sight of Allah and with His Messenger, except for those with whom you made a treaty at al-Masjid al-Haram?”(9:7)
“Would you not fight a people who broke their oaths and determined to expel the Messenger, and they had begun [the attack upon] you the first time?”(9:13)
Do you know what’s funny?
Qur’an 9:5 doesn’t even have the word sword in it ,here are some verses which do have the sword:
“Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.”(Mathew 10:34)
Adam says
Oh buddy buddy buddy read whole thing Mathew 10:34-38 34 “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to turn
“‘a man against his father,
a daughter against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—
36 a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’
37 “Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it. Now that´s make this clear these verse doesn´t say in this This passage is not a prooftext for Jesus as a warrior or the Christian use of violence, as Jesus’s use of sword in this passage is clearly metaphoric– he even goes on to explain what he meant. He explains that he’s not talking about a sword that kills, but a sword that causes division in relationships. (This same metaphor using sword to indicate division is also used in Hebrews 4:12.) Plus, if Jesus was speaking of literal, physical violence he would have contradicted his own teachings earlier in Matthew. So, metaphor is where this passage is at not in literal. God bless you and have a great day or night.

Carlos says
You always say that. I have read the Quran and more hadiths than most Muslims to know that Muslims kill innocent civilians because the Quran, the hadiths, the Sira of Ishaq, the tafsirs of Ibn Kathir are all filled with hatred, violence, calls to kill against non-Muslims. What you don’t have in a Quran is a single text that tells Muslims to love and live in peace with non-Muslims. But lots like these:
9:5 When the sacred months are over, KILL the idolaters wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them.
4:89 But if they turn renegades, seize them and KILL them wherever you find them.
2:191 And KILL them wherever you overtake them and expel them from wherever they have expelled you, and fitnah is worse than killing.
9:111 Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties [in exchange] for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah , so they KILL and are KILLED.
4:91……..So if they do not withdraw from you or offer you peace or restrain their hands, then seize them and KILL them wherever you overtake them.
47:4 So when you meet those who disbelieve [in battle], strike [their] necks until, when you have inflicted slaughter upon them, then secure their bonds, and either [confer] favor afterwards or ransom [them] until the war lays down its burdens…..
9:29. Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.
9:73 O Prophet, fight against the disbelievers and the hypocrites and be harsh upon them. And their refuge is Hell, and wretched is the destination.
9:123. O you who believe! fight the unbelievers who gird you about, and let them find firmness in you: and know that Allah is with those who fear Him.
8:65. O Messenger! rouse the Believers to the fight. If there are twenty amongst you, patient and persevering, they will vanquish two hundred: if a hundred, they will vanquish a thousand of the Unbelievers: for these are a people without understanding.
8:12. Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): “I am with you: give firmness to the Believers: I will instil terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them.”
2:216. Fighting is prescribed for you, and you dislike it. But it is possible that you dislike a thing which is good for you, and that you love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and you know not.

First of all you are blinded by media and second of all read the quran it has nothing to do with this.

Journey says
By most conservative counts, the Quran contains over 100 passages that call Muslims to take up arms against unbelievers in the name of Allah.
“Kill them [unbelievers] wherever you find them… And fight them until there is no more unbelief and worship is for Allah alone” (Quran 2:191-193).
“Strike off their heads and strike from them every fingertip” (Quran 8:12).
“Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties; in exchange for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they slay and are slain” (Quran 9:111).
“Truly Allah loves those who fight in His cause in battle array…” (Quran 61:4)
“The Messenger of Allah 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” (Sahih Muslim 1:33).
The word translated “fight” in many of the verses above is the infamous word jihad, which loosely means “struggle.” And while it’s true that “jihad” can sometimes refer to the “inner struggle” of a faithful Muslim against sin, it’s plain that an “inner struggle” is not the meaning of passages that call for the removing of heads and fingers from every infidel. Indeed, virtually every major Muslim jurist (specialists of Islamic law) have for centuries understood that jihad was an inherently militaristic term.
Therefore, when Muslim terrorists take up the call to arms in the name of Allah, they are fulfilling the Quran, not opposing it.
Rashmin says
Firstly you need to do your research properly before bringing out of context argument, Here the verses below with a brief explanation.
You mentioned these verses:
1) Quran 2:191-193
2) Quran 8:12
3) Quran 9:111
4) Quran 61:4
You should have read them properly so you might understand why Allah (SWT) (God) ordained them.
Chapter 2 Verses 2:190 to 194 (Al-Baqarah)
“Fight in the way of Allah those who fight you but do not transgress. Indeed. Allah does not like transgressors.”
The above verse is self-explanatory, meaning in other word self-defense and don’t transgress. Keep reading until Verse 194.
Chapter 8 Verse 12 (Al-Anfal)
“[Remember] when your Lord inspired to the angels, “I am with you, so strengthen those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieved, so strike [them] upon the necks and strike from them every fingertip.”
Read it properly again so you will get to know why Allah (God) orders the believers to defend themselves and fight without fear.
This verse refers to the Badr battle, where about 300 Muslims were facing about a thousand heavily armed Meccan soldiers.
This verse, and help from angels by Allah’s permission, were meant to give confidence to the badly outnumbered Muslims to fight against the Meccan army. The Muslims won this battle.
Chapter 9 Verse 111 (At-Tawbah)
“Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties [in exchange] for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed. [It is] a true promise [binding] upon Him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur’an. And who is truer to his covenant than Allah? So rejoice in your transaction which you have contracted. And it is that which is the great attainment.”
A brief explanation of the above verse:
You should note it well at the outset that, in reality, this transaction is not in regard to the actual selling of the life and possessions of the servant to Allah in the literal sense, for Allah is in fact the real Owner of man’s life and possessions.
Allah alone has the right of ownership because He is the Creator of man and of everything he possesses and uses. Therefore there is no question at all of selling and buying in the worldly sense; for man possesses nothing of his own to sell, and Allah has no need to buy anything because everything already belongs to Him.
However, there is one thing which has entirely been entrusted to man by Allah, that is, the freedom of will and the freedom of choice, and the transaction concerns that thing.
Of course, it is true that this freedom does not make any change in the real position of man with regard to the right of ownership to his own life and his possessions. They belong to Allah Who has delegated to him only the authority to use or abuse these things as he wills, without any coercion or compulsion from Him.
This means that man has been given the freedom to acknowledge or not to acknowledge that Allah is the owner of his life and property.
Chapter 61 Verse 4 (As-saf)
“Indeed, Allah loves those who fight in His cause in a row as though they are a [single] structure joined firmly.”
As I have explained many times before, to fight in God’s way, does not involve the killing of the innocent. These passages always exhort people to fight tyranny, oppression and persecution.
These verses below show the beauty of what ‘Fight in His (God’s) way’ mean
Quran 2:190 “ Fight in the way of God those who fight you but do not transgress. Indeed. God does not like transgressors.”
Quran 2:246 “Would you perhaps refrain from fighting if fighting was prescribed for you?” They said, “And why should we not fight in the cause of Allah when we have been driven out from our homes and from our children?” But when fighting was prescribed for them, they turned away, except for a few of them. And Allah is Knowing of the wrongdoers.”
Quran 4:75 And what is [the matter] with you that you fight not in the cause of God and [for] the oppressed among men, women, and children who say, “Our Lord, take us out of this city of oppressive people and appoint for us from Yourself a protector and appoint for us from Yourself a helper?”
Terrorists are also killing many Muslims and the majority of people killed by terrorists are Muslims and in Muslim countries, so to your understanding, God is telling terrorists to kill the Muslims as well!!!
Your understanding of Islam is very limited like many people out there, their hatred of truth and the belief of one of God blinds them from understanding their existence, so when they try to challenge Islam they lack the insight knowledge so they try to bring out of context arguments for deviation so they can justify their wrongdoing.
You should know that many Jews and Christians lived in Muslim countries for over thousands of years, they have never been FORCED to accept Islam nor their places of worship destroyed and many of their buildings still standing up to know. Salaam Peace
John says
Do you seriously think your rebuttals would endear people to your appalling set of beliefs?
You have no idea what they infer. Or what sort of character you think they portray of the person you’ve been brainwashed from ancestor to ancestor down thousands of years to believe is the figure behind this beautiful universe.
There is no joy, freedom, individuality, joy in your religion.
You’ve just shown how the figment of imagination that you worship and obnoxious claim is the creator of everyone, how bigoted and murderous he is towards the other 5 billion plus people on this planet.
Even in the much beloved ‘context’ argument that Allah was speaking specifically to groups at that time and not to everyone throughout the rest of time henceforth, you’ve painted the picture of a vindictive, deranged, diaboligically evil psychopath who supposedly created all these people, but it only favouring a certain kind of people who just so happen to blindly follow every word Muhammad said. How convenient.
The greatest insult of Islam is it’s total ignorance of other groups, and it’s complete solipsism and self-absorbsion, it’s refusal to integrate and it’s focus in seeing themselves as special and apart from everyone else. This in group/outgroup think,
All you’re doing with these crackpot ramblings is showing that a god supposedly favours Muslims so much that, he’s on there side when they are ”attacked”, and that just being Muslim, they are allowed to kill people who attack them and be favoured.
No matter if a group attacks them out of self-defense, or to fend off tyranny or invasion. It doesn’t matter. You’re nutjob cult and the supposed creator would side with the Muslims and give them free reign to chop the heads of and remove the finger tips from their enemies.
Or, maybe he really did only mean that it’s ok for them to kill people who attack them, only for that group of Muslims around in his time, and it doesn’t apply today.
But that is nonsense, because the Koran is supposed to apply to everyone for all time, so this BS about certain verses only being able to be able to be understood in the context of the time is false.
You are taught you are a special group, that means more than other human beings, the disbelievers who god sees as worthy of being terrorised in their hearts and worthy of being beheaded and having their fingertips cut off. Not just fight persecution and tyranny like for like, in self defense.
You’re crazy. The verse goes well beyond defending yourself in a kill or be killed. It shows that god is psychopathically vengeful, proscribes a very barbaric, painful, evil, over the top way of killing his own creations.
You telling me you can only defend yourself when underattack by cutting other people’s heads off and all their finger tips?
The messages are clear. That God favours Muslims, and if they beleive they are under attack, then just on the very basis of being a Muslim, they are justified in inflicting a very specific, horrific, inhumane form of self-defense.
In fact that are commanded to do so and act in the most heinous, cruel despicable way, and told they are perfectly entitled to do because they are more special than other people.
You have no idea that your brainwashed, and YOU do not understand the implications or understand your religion fully. It’s not other people with the problem, or are ‘don’t understand the Koran’ and that their god is ‘loving, peaceful, and merciful’.
He’s more diabolical and violent than any psychopathic that has ever lived on planet earth.
That horrific, backwards death cult is an affront to humanity.
Issa says
Terrorists are also killing many Muslims and the majority of people killed by terrorists are Muslims and in Muslim countries, so to your level of understanding Allah (God) is telling terrorists to kill the Muslims as well in order to get to paradise !!!
Your understanding of Islam is very limited like many people out there, their hatred of truth and the belief of one of God blinds them from understanding their existence, so when they try to challenge Islam they lack the insight knowledge, therefore, they try to bring out of context arguments for deviation so they can justify their wrongdoing.

Then my friend, maybe you need to speak to those piece of shit Jihaadi’s because it seems they all dont know what most merciful allah meant….you know, since they are still beheading people when most merciful allah is totally against it?
You talk alot of garbage. I will never allow a Muslim to teach me the quran.
Vj says
Why, where ever Muslims goes it create chaos? Why they cannot be criticized? If say something bad about their prophet why they killing people? Why these people hates cartoons? Why they are not criticizing terrorists by the name Islam? If Jihadi hides some where why Muslims are not exposing them? Why they are not seriously critizing killing of Christians or other religion? Why they are not fighting against in Muslim terror and religious freedom on Muslim countries? Why they take over others churches and not even serious about critizing who did this? Why they kill innocent people all over world? Answer is simple their religion teaches these are right things to do. If you are serious about you Muslims teach your Muslim community this first about peace and take effort for it, I never know any organization among Muslim who teaches hate and killing is wrong by name of Allah, you silent that means you agree. Give Christians back Hagia Sophia and fight for it. Go to Pakistan , Nigeria etc and tell your Muslim community what your are doing is wrong by killing Christians show some initiatives, Educate your Muslim community killing Christian or other no believers are bad thing by your prophet. Instead of crying the whole world Islamophobiac. Come on show some initiatives and work hard for that killing is wrong by the name of your religion. Sure you will not do this or take it as challenge. Atleast create youtube chanel and say as per your book and believe killing humanbeings is wrong, keep saying this until this ends and your Muslim community understand this,Tell them you have to love your Christian fellows and other religions. Also educate your community weapon training of kids under 16 is bad, come on do it rather than saying everyone hates us. Show some initiatives and hardwork who killing by name of Islam. Allow relgious freedom in Saudi and other countries, fight for it like fighting here in West, Show us what ever you Muslim argued is you mean it.Start from Saudi and fight for religious freedom.

My friend, you have raised a lot of important issues, and this is correct and good. But these are questions that are being played by the Western media. They are nothing but biased organized aggression and hatred.
Like any Muslim, I have nothing against the Christianity or any other religion. We are forbidden to show hatred.
Now ask yourself the following questions:
1. have You ever heard or seen a Muslim speak ill of, criticize, draw caricatures of Christians or about Jesus (peace be upon him)? (take a look at the network you’ll see only Christians negative comments like this Flip Huggenvik’s article).
2. Which religion Representatives exterminated millions of indigenous people in South and North America?
3. Which religion Representatives initiated first and second World Wars and organized the hugest genocide?
4. Do you even understand the meaning of the word “crusade”? In this context, the word campaign should be understood as – the Christians are going to kill. (for comparison, there is no such expression in relation to other religions). Here also it is necessary to remind that during the Crusades the Christian world slaughtered all Muslims and Jews.

My friend, you have raised a lot of important issues, and this is correct and good. But these are questions that are being played by the Western media. They are nothing but biased organized aggression and hatred.
Like any Muslim, I have nothing against the Christianity or any other religion. We are forbidden to show hatred.
Now ask yourself the following questions:
1. have You ever heard or seen a Muslim speak ill of, criticize, draw caricatures of Christians or about Jesus (peace be upon him)? (take a look at the network you’ll see only Christians negative comments like this Flip Huggenvik’s article).
2. Which religion Representatives exterminated millions of indigenous people in South and North America?
3. Which religion Representatives initiated first and second World Wars and organized the hugest genocide?
4. Do you even understand the meaning of the word “crusade”? In this context, the word campaign should be understood as – the Christians are going to kill. (for comparison, there is no such expression in relation to other religions). Here also it is necessary to remind that during the Crusades the Christian world slaughtered all Muslims and Jews. And when the Muslims recaptured Jerusalem, they released the surrendered Christians in peace.

Sure, hopefully I help you out. Islam is a religion of peace. The word of Islam does mean ‘to submit’ but not to corrupt rulers. To God. In the Quran there are many, many ayaats saying to befriend others, be kind, do not steal, fair treatment (an eye for an eye), do not fight, etc. There are also many Ayaat talking about violence. But these are in self defence. If you don’t belive me, then go read the Quran yoruself. People who use these Ayaats as evidence normally put the number, so go see the translation of the full ayah, the ayah before it, and the ayah after it. Then you will get a way better idea of what the message is. When you say Muhammad (peace be upon him and his pure family) is ‘first child rapist and sex addict who rape woman when ever he want and loot innocent people property including there family and play a game of bloodshed on name of islam to kill who dont believes them’, where are you getting this information from? When did Muhammad ever rape a woman? When did he ever rape a child and was a sex addict? Where are your sources? If you are talking about Aisha, let me explain. There are many ahadith regarding Aisha as 6 or 9, playing with her dolls or on the swings. Her parents must have been fine with it, no? Also, marriage is permissable right after the age of puberty. People go through puberty at different times, and we are talking about 1400 years ago. But anyway, I believe that Aisha was indeed not 6 or 9. There are books on the life of her elder sister which states that she was 10 years older than Aisha and was 27 during Hijrah. Aisha’s marriage took place on the 2nd of Hijrah, so that would mean that she was 19 when she got married. And you say that he raped women? He didn’t even physically fight. He was all about equal rights. He says that No arab is better than a non arab, and no non arab is better than an arab. No white person is better than a black person and no black person is better than a white. He treated his wives with the utmost respect. He says that Jannah is under the feet of your mother, not your father. There is a hadith where someone asked who is the first person I obey after Allah. The prophet replied, “Your mother’. He asked who next? ‘Your mother’ ‘who next?’ ‘Your mother’ who next? ‘your father’. The man asked why give the mother 3 rights over the father (this is paraphrasing). He replied because your mother went throguh all the pain of giving birth to you, raising you, nursing you, etc. He gives the utmost respect to women. If you are saying that women are discriminated in Islam cuz they have to cover themselves, that is not discrimination. Because of that, they have way more privilages then men do. They have to cover up because if they show their true natural beauty, men will get attracted to them a lot. That is why underage sex happens in the west so much. The girls don’t cover up they’re beauty. They can only show it to Mahram people ie her brothers, her fatehrs, her husband, and her sons. She can only show her body to her husband. This is modesty, not imprisonment. And you say that he loots people’s stuff. No. When Ali (as), his cousin, killed Amr ibn Abde Wudd in the Battle of Khandaq, his sister came to avenge him. But when he say that Amr’s armour was still on his body, he realized that Ali was a noble man. Like i said, the Prophet didn’t fight. Plus he never forced anyone to become Muslims. His greatest enemy, Abu Sufyan, tried to kill him countless times. Did the Propeht seek revenge? Did the Prophet order his death? No! When the Prophet visited the town of Taif and the kids and the people pelted stones and rotten fruit at him, the angels came down and asked if they should destroy the city, but the Prophet said no. And you say this man was a rapist and a sex addict who looted innocent people? The wars against the Quraysh started after the boycott when the Muslims were sent to Shibe Abi Talib and when they went to Madinah. The Quraysh broke the peace treaty and killed Muslims still in Makkah. If you are just gonna say ‘well why didn’t they go to Madinah with Muhammad’ then the asnwer is because 1) it was there home and 2) They had to go there for their Hajj. The Battles of Badr, Uhud, Khaybar, and Khandaq were all self defense. The Quraysh had called for the Jews to attack Muhammad and promised them gold, so Muhammad had to fight back. He fought against the Meccans and went to Khaybar because it was a tactical point. Ali won it for him and the Prophet gave it to his daughter as a gift. It had very fertile soil and was high in elevation so it made a lot of money. The conquest of Mecca was for peace and the only people who were killed were those stood out and fought. He sent a message saying if you do not want to get hurt, stay in your houses. And you call this man a man of violence? When you say the world was more peaceful before Muhammad, you call burying your daughters alive peace? You call stealing peace? You call pointless quarels peace? Please, think. God has given you intellect instead of others of His creation for a reason; please use it. Jihad is fighting in the way of Allah, and those who do terrorist acts and claim that it is Jihad is a fraud. The Prophet said that being kind is one of the best forms of Jihaud. Jihaud doens’t mean go kill innocent people. It means sacrificing yourself for Allah. Dying in the way of Allah. How is being killed the same thing as killing? I hope you consider this and rethink your thoughts. May Allah guide you. Also please read this. It took a lot of time and effort and if you don’t, that proves that you are just blindly following what Western social media says. That means you are stubborn and do not listen to proof. Thank you.

mashallah, this is is beautifully worded.
however I would like to correct the part where you said women in islam cover so as not to be harrased. from my understanding hijab is a way of life both muslim men and women are expected to practice. it is a modest way of behavior with the opposite sex that includes lowered gazes from both sides as well as proper dress from both sides. the reason men and women are instructed to cover their sexuality and be modest is so people judge them for their character rather then their physical appeareance.
i would also like to add that no matter how well we explain our religion to certain people, some will never learn because they are predujiced and god has closed their mind. we can only pray for them.

Whom can you believe between your prophet and Paul in the New Testament. Paul was chosen by God to preach the saving gospel of grace/Jesus Christ. (Acts 9: 15-16)The bible says in verse 20, “Immediately he preached the Christ in the Synagogues, that He is the Son of God. Apostle Paul was taken to heaven, was taught the words of the gospel ( see 2 Corinthians 12: 2). In Galatians 1: 6-9 Apostle Paul was speaking to gentile belivers in Galatia who had believed the gospel of grace but had then turned to Judaism. He told them that there is only one gospel. He even curses himself or any person or angel who would come up with a different gospel. Islam or any other religion falls into this category of a different gospel. It is as if Apostle Paul foreknew that Islam would be given by an angel. In 2 Corinthians 11: 4 the Apostle Paul says, “And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. How do you trust the quran when Muhammad was given the word by an angel. God never entrust His religion to angels. He spoke directly to Adam and Eve when He warned them not to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. He came down and spoke directly to Moses when He gave him the Torah. Jesus came down, preached the gospel and taught His disciples the gospel. The angels were only used by God to convey messages, but not to give or preach His word. How do you believe the words of a prophet to whom Satan cast his words upon his toungue (Qur’an 53: 19-22. THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY WAY TO BE RECONCILED WITH GOD AND BE A CANDIDATE OF HEAVEN. BELIEVE IN THE CHRISTIAN JESUS, NOT THE ISLAMIC JESUS AND BE SAVED.

The only smart statement you made here is “Islam is not a religion”. It’s a way of living. It’s too clear that you have zero knowledge in Islam because you were taught that way. You were taught to act harshly by saying that Islam is harsh. Loot innocent people’s property? Ha, that’s funny. We were taught to spread knowledge of Islam. Not force anyone. Nobody raped anyone and we do not wish to call them Muslim if what you’ve mentioned is done by people. I would’ve silently walked past you if you were a learned men in what you speak of. First of all, you just classified and discriminated people on the basis of religion. Go see a psychiatrist. I don’t mean to offend but if you want to be offended, I have no problem. But you’re the real devil here.

Yeah you want to call Islam evil, I’m an Indian who was born Hindu and is now athiest. Talk about every war the Hindu religion waged in the scriptures and wage to this day. Everything in India is controlled so that you are brainwashed to think this way. Modi and the BJP go against the constitution of India and so are you. You don’t want to allow secularism. if Mohammed is bad, then Hindu gods are 100X worse for killing, raping and doing all that shit. Do your research before you type shit. Tell me about the caste system again and how Modi wants to force Tamils to learn Hindi, a language that objectively has no good and wants to lessen our English learning? So that we can speak like all the Hindi speaking people and can’t even get a job in another country because we don’t know English well. If Muslims are so evil, are you going to call Dr. Abdul Kalam evil? Objectively both religions are peaceful but the only reason why Islamic terrorism started to happen around the world is because of the US seizing their countries. If this wasn’t the case, you’d only be calling Pakistanis bad. Hinduism has no reason to be voilent but is ultra voilent and how can you talk about Rape without talking about the rape capital which is India? There are only 6% Christians and 14% Muslims so tell me how it is the rape captial of the world? Read the laws of Manu and you will come to see the discrimination people faced under Hinduism.

You are wrong. Hindus never fight anybody in the name of religion. Hindus were always divided its the first time in the History of Modern India Hindus are getting United the reason is islamic terrorism and looting of public funds and reservations by Muslims in the name of religion. And yes India has high rape numbers and also India is Highly populous country. The rate of sexual crime is way low compared to other developed countries also just to inform some facts about 65 % of the crimes against women and children are done by Muslims. I’m not saying all muslims are raping kafirs in India im just saying that even with a population of 22% the crime done by muslims in India are more than 60%. We are proud of our Current Hindu Government and no one is capable of stopping a Hindu. It was muslims who killng Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Jains, Christians in Indian subcontinent. Indian people and Jews know Islam than anybody else. Islam is the religion of crimes and criminals we dont consider Muhammed as a prophet he is just a tribal King. Each and every chapters of Quran is filled with crimes and Killing. No thanks bro.

Jesus said that it not what goes into the body that matters but what comes out of it. The herd of pigs the demons were cast into ran down the hillside and into a lake. They were drowned. Eating pork does not mean we’re eating demons. You cannot be offended by what people say and think you’re doing the right thing by insulting them back. As a Christian, I was taught to turn the other cheek. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, God is love. Amen

Beware of the self-righteous who acts as though his garment has no stains, yet history shows the blood stains.
Back in those days many were married off young. My grandmother was married off when she was 12-13 years old.
But clearly those speaking within this text live in a bubble of denial and deceit.
And for your clarity
Islam –
does mean submission, but it not submission unto to man it is unto the will of God.
Muslim-
One who Submit’s. Is one one who belief is monotheistic as Abraham /Ibrahim alayhi wa Sallam. Being 1 God, and only he should be worshipped, not the his creation.
The character of a Muslim
1. Truthfulness 33:79, 8:119
2. Sincerity 39:2, 61:3,107:4-6
3. Unselfishness
“You cannot attain righteousness unless you spend (in charity) out of those things which you love 3:91
@They (the true believers) give food, out of love for Allah (God), to the poor, the orphan and the slave, saying :” We feed you only for the pleasure of Allah- we desire from you neither reward nor thanks 77:7-9
4. Humility
“ Do not turn your face away from people in contempt, not ago about in the land exultingly.” 31:18
(Arrogance)
I could go on but this is enough.
There are extremist in everything just as your accusation of Muslims and Islam.
Fix your hearts, we are all brothers and sisters. As we all came from Adam and Eve bloodline. It’s is so easy to be hateful- but such a better reward in being kind.
May God forgive us for our shortcomings, may he forgive those that inflict pain and hate on others. In the end we all will face our judgement and who can escape the judgement of the Most High – He is the knower and the seer of all things.

Just becuse you heard such terrible things from someone doesn’t mean you have to actually believe it whole heartedly. Not just people who claim themselves to be muslims but there are many people from many other religion killing, and causing sin and nobody seems to take that into account because of course, the whole world is focusing on ‘bad islam’. First of all, you classify and discriminate people on the basis of religion. Go see a psychiatrist.

The mind works in two ways, of which ,the most important is what we call the intuitive mind. What goes in to it, cannot be changed.. Ideas are put into the minds of children before they grow up. Religion is the most important venom injected in to their minds. There is no escape. I don’t find any scope for arguments.Those who believe in any kind of crap, will keep on justifying it, knowing very well that they are not right.Communists and Hitler also did the same.
Can I ask something? How many of you chose this religion you are trying to defend, after growing up, on your free will and after knowing about other religions too? Probably none !!

You told to read surah 23 and 70 of Quran. But I could not find any violence there. Yes there are violent verses in Surah 9. But except Surah nine I could not find violence in any Surah of Quran. So it would be better if you provide names of the Surahs of Quran which you claim to be violent
NameNomo says
I am a Muslim and I can assure you … That there is no violence in quarane … It’s true that the word ” Islam ” means surrender but that’s not the whole definition — it means surrender to god … Which itself means believe in god … We’re all brothers after all and … Christianit religion is the same as Islam religion except , you believe that Jesus is the son of god … While we don’t . but bro ! … After all — it doesn’t matter which religion are you from … The main thing is to believe in god . cuz clearly nothing can create itself without resources or energy … , and we’re not terrorists … These are just some fake racist information ☺ !! . ( “TBH I’m not that religious but I know these stuff cuz I’ve read the quarane once “)

If you say that, the two religions are serving one god, you are playing yourself, if u dont believe that Jesus is the son of God, what you just need say is that, islam is the way, but your nor believing it is like you are saying that, you are bold enough to face God’s judgement.

وَالْمُحْصَنَاتُ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ إِلَّا مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ ۖ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ ۚ وَأُحِلَّ لَكُم مَّا وَرَاءَ ذَٰلِكُمْ أَن تَبْتَغُوا بِأَمْوَالِكُم مُّحْصِنِينَ غَيْرَ مُسَافِحِينَ ۚ فَمَا اسْتَمْتَعْتُم بِهِ مِنْهُنَّ فَآتُوهُنَّ أُجُورَهُنَّ فَرِيضَةً ۚ وَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِيمَا تَرَاضَيْتُم بِهِ مِن بَعْدِ الْفَرِيضَةِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا – 4:24
And [also prohibited to you are all] married women except those your right hands possess. [This is] the decree of Allah upon you. And lawful to you are [all others] beyond these, [provided] that you seek them [in marriage] with [gifts from] your property, desiring chastity, not unlawful sexual intercourse. So for whatever you enjoy [of marriage] from them, give them their due compensation as an obligation. And there is no blame upon you for what you mutually agree to beyond the obligation. Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Wise.

« You mean this verse:
“And when the sacred months have passed, then kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they should repent, establish prayer, and give zakah, let them [go] on their way. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.” (Al Quran 9:5)
???
! OK, so here is what I need to inform you about this verse. First, to understand a Quranic verse, you need also to be acquainted with the Arabic history of the time when Islam came. This verse was revealed unto Prophet PBUH while the Islamic followers were engaged in the Battle of Tabuk. The battle was fought as a retaliation against the buildup attack on the city of Madinah by Byzantine Empire in the year 629.
It was also one of the first successful expansions of Islam in what is supposed to become a series of capturing major Arabian cities. Now, coming to the central aspect of the verse. The verse orders Muslims to fight those idolaters (and also those hypocrites who are the enemy within) when the sacred month is passed because fighting in a holy month is not allowed.
The Byzentiniam force consists of many Arabian allies in those regions that were pagan or either some people of the book as well (Christian, Jews) who are fighting alongside the forces of King Heraclius of Rome to demolish growing Muslim influence in Arabia. So, God ordered Muslims to fight those people so that Muslims may not be outdone and be killed or their tribe eliminated along with the prophet. The fight was a defensive one.
Now, in the last focus of this ayah, God also orders Muslims that if among the enemy, anyone who repents and eliminate the intention to assault Muslims, and better if they pray and give zakah (charity to poor), then the Muslims are not allowed to have any evil intentions against them as well and or find means to fight them at all. God is without a doubt merciful and loves forgiveness.

Til then, try and listen to the people who’ve left the religion because of the violence, subjugation of women, terrorism, hatred , etc. They’re threatened to be killed everyday for leaving the religion, yet they do it because they know it’s the right thing to do.

Unfortunately, none of this article is based on fact, but a mix of hate-filled opinion and fabrication; all an attempt no doubt to spread division, hate, and fear. I hope people will be intelligent enough to learn for themselves from real sources, not the spewing of some racist extremist. Read the Quran, and see how every single verse begins with ‘In the Name of God, The Most MERCIFUL, the Most COMPASSIONATE.’ And how it says that all life is sacred, that God loves the just and forbids fighting those who are not fighting you. Read about the life of Muhammad (peace upon him) and how he implemented the first written constitution to promise freedom of religion to Jews and Christians, how he forgave those who killed his family when he had the opportunity for revenge or even justice; and how he was concerned even for the life and wellbeing of the animals and plants. Read history, about how Muslim protected Jews in the Spanish Inquisition, how Christians and Jews lived safely and thrived under Muslim rule for over 800 years in Spain, and how the First Nation to recognize the USA as a State was the Muslim nation of Morocco. Learn and don’t give way to ignorance.

So please dont take things out of context. There is no were in the quran that allows killing like that. Jesus was not sacrificed ad god has no partner associated with him.

One only has to look at history to understand. Just look at any culture, where Islam is 3% or more of the total population. Even at numbers that low, the Muhammadans start to demand Halal meals in public schools. They insist on being able to cover the heads of women. And, they start using the courts in an effort to spread Sharia. The countries that allow the unchecked spread of Islam, will ether submit to it, or will have to fight them, because they are commanded to take over. Even though this fact is written in their “holy book”, they deny the fact (al taqiyya deception). Then they call you an “Islamophobe” and try to destroy you. Muslims are okay in very small numbers. Muhammadans, on the other hand, are filthy back stabbing Allah lovers, who want to kill you. Islam has no place in the western world.
Jeffrey Erding says
After reading and re-reading all the negative comments about Mr. Huggenvik’s commentary, I noticed a pattern; no one offered specific information that refuted or corrected his positions or assertions.
Most readers, myself included, are not particularly well versed in our understanding of Islam. I found Mr. Huggenvik’s article to be well written and specific. If others find errors and omissions in the commentary, it would be proper to point those out in an equally informative and orderly way. Calling names, pointing out allegations of past Christian and American transgressions, and condemning him as Islamophobic is not a particularly effective method of rebuttal. Until someone submits a factual and well researched rebuttal, all the negative comments look like ” The truth hurts, don’t it!”
Perhaps Mr. Wojcik could find the time to write a rebuttal when he is not advocating for traffic clogging bike lanes and voting himself a 100% plus pay raise for

Je vois dans les commentaires les fameux hypocrites qui essaient de défendre l’islam dont ils sont savant. Notons qu’ils sont ignorants des recherches de nombreux spécialistes dénonçant cette blague religieuse appelée islam. Ils sont également ignorants de ce qu’est la foi chrétienne dont il est fort probable qu’elle fut exposée et proposée à Mahomet qui la refusa et à ce sujet (rejet de l’Évangile de Jésus-Christ) son histoire est édifiante.
Dés que cette secte en eut le pouvoir ils se livrèrent à la colonisation par le terrorisme, massacres, pillages et esclavage.
Mahomet à pompé dans l’Évangile de Jésus-Christ (yeshoua) et les autres écrits Juifs… Ainsi le Coran contient un peu de lumière. Suffisamment pour permettre aux musulmans de s’orienter vers YHWH qui n’est pas Allah et de s’ouvrir à la révélation chrétienne.
Sam Crofton says
All the jihadis in the comment section are trying to justify the killings and torture just as the Quran states. They have no counter point. Today Christianity, Hinduism are reformed according to modern norms. But Allah prohibits any modernisation of Quran. And thus, the brains of the muslims ae outdated and rusted!
Kirito Uchiha says
Dude I don’t understand why, but you guys actually are spitting nonsense. Like, you really should just get some actual facts and maybe even read some translated parts of the Quran before talking. It’s so dumb how people just blabber nonsense before getting proper info. This is coming from an actual Muslim.
Sane says
Can you specify the modernisation in Christianity and Hinduism? Islam is a way of living and that way of living has fit us perfectly just the way it did long ago. Why do you call us outdated and rusted as many scientific researches have proven so many things of Islam to be true and also it was Muslims who found many ways and things that the world’s following right now. Do not be so immature and waste your time in debating false statements about something you’re not completely aware of. Instead you could always ask and seek knowledge of various religions. this is just a request as it really hurts to be criticized even without doing no wrong.
MIKIMOTO Jaggi says
Over centuries there is too much horror in the actions of some Muslims- enough that to keep on repeating ‘Islam is religion of peace’ would not make it a religion I’d OEACE. The actions of Muslims will eventually determine how peace it is. Constantly repeating would not and it is not working.
The world does understand that it hearts peaceful Muslims when such articles are published. The author quoted from Islamic books, he did not make it up and not cherry picked.
Ahmadiyya Anjuman Ishaat Islam Lahore (UK) says
Yes I agree with you. Muslims should show this in practice. It is just dropping atom bombs on Japan, chemical warfare in Vietnam which is still causing deformed births, the merciless bombing of Iraq etc does not further the US claim to be the peacemakers and peacekeepers of the world.
Handsome Jack says
can you be any more vague than ‘the bombing of Iraq’? You do realize the US is sent in to settle skirmishes between rival Sunni and Shia fighting over oil pipelines, right? Mooslums have a long history of stealing Western advancements, such as the Suez canal.
Shahid Aziz says
There were no Sunni and Shia riots when the US attacked Iraq to destroy the WMDs (Weapons of Mass Deception). Would Iraqis have a right to bomb a US city if their are riots between some communities? As for the Suez, it was built on Muslim land occupied by force and Muslims took it back.
Handsome Jack says
I see a Mohammedan is displaying his ignorance of understanding history – accusing the author of cherry picking, while doing the exact same thing, except ignoring how slavery is a part of Islam from its start even to current time. The Americas were discovered because of the Islamic Ottoman blockade of the Silk Road.
Then there’s the dhimmi below him. The author of this article is correct.
Ahmadiyya Anjuman Ishaat Islam Lahore (UK) says
Slavery is not a part of Islam. Although, there were slaves kept by Muslims. However, the difference was that a slave could rise and become the leader of a country and that is why India had a ‘dynasty of slaves’. It has taken until now for the US to elect an African American as the President. Just because Muslims do something it does not make it a part of Islam. Again, Dhimmis are people who have a specific contract with a Muslim state to protect them in return for payment to the treasury rather than go out and fight with the army.
Perhaps you should mention KKK, killing of the Jews and Muslims in Spain, dropping atom bombs on countries when you compare these things.
Handsome Jack says
wait, what does a half black Barack Obama have to do with anything? Last I checked, Mohammed called blacks “Raisinheads:. Slavery very much is a part of Islam, there are many verses in the Quran allowing fornication with slaves. Dhimmi is also a term for any non-mooslum foolish enough to buy into and help propogate the cancer of Islam.
The KKK? You’re really grasping for straws now. The KKK came about after the slaves were freed and were people trying to run off Africans who – newly freed – were resorting to stealing and raping – See the Voodoo Uprisings. And who captured and sold those slaves? Ah mooslums. Islamic Ottoman Empire enslaved Greece for 400 years, twice as lon gas slavery existed in the US. And really? You’re going to bring up the atomic bomb that was used to END a war that the JAPANESE STARTED WITH PEARL HARBOR? Do you not understand that the death toll would have been even higher had a land war continued?
You mooslums really lack a connection to reality.
Shahid Aziz says
And I guess the African Americans were honoured in the US. There was no murder of native Americans and stealing their land. Quote where the Holy Quran says fornication is allowed with slaves. In fact, a large number of early Muslims were from Africa and it was an African King who gave Muslims sanctuary. The first ‘finance minister’ of Islam was an African slave. I’m glad you corrected me to show how much KKK loved African Americans and burned them alive to save them from the miseries of this world. Ottomans were the people who sent ships to Spain to rescue Jews being burnt alive by Christians. They also resettled these Jews in Palestine. How do you know how many people would have died if the US hadn’t dropped atomic bombs on Japan? I suppose defoliating the jungles with chemical weapons still killing babies also saved lives.
Sane says
That statement of Mohammed calling blacks raisinheads was not true. You presently classified and discriminated people on the basis of two things- religion and skin colour. Real mature eh?

WHAT A FUNNY ANSWER!
Just pray to God give you a full knowledge and understanding,
Because………………….
Question: “Why believe in Jesus?”
Answer: There are countless reasons to believe in Jesus. Many of us start on our journey of faith because we need something that Jesus can give us. We need help, hope, healing, or joy. Our lives are falling apart, and we want answers, solutions. But there’s one critical reason to believe in Jesus that underlies all others, and that is to bring us into right relationship with God. Reconciliation with God is the remedy for all that’s wrong with us and the resolution for everything we need.
Why did Jesus come to earth? Why did He die on the cross? He came and did all that He did to bring us into a relationship with God the Father: “For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them” (2 Corinthians 5:19, NLT).
Mending our broken relationship with God is the primary point of Christian salvation. The Bible says that all of us have a problem—it’s called sin (Romans 3:23; 1 John 1:8). Because we are born into this world as sinners (Psalm 51:5), we are separated from God and on a path that leads to eternal destruction.
But God loves us and wants to be in relationship with us. He wants to save us from destruction and give us everlasting life: “God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him” ( 1 John 4:9, NLT).
Jesus’ death on the cross paid the full price for our sin: “He himself is the sacrifice that atones for our sins—and not only our sins but the sins of all the world” (1 John 2:2). Jesus satisfied the debt we owed and took the punishment we deserved (Isaiah 53:5; 1 Peter 1:18–19; 1 Peter 2:24; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Galatians 3:13; Romans 6:23). When Christ rose from the dead, He conquered death for us (Revelation 1:18; Hebrews 2:14; John 3:16). We don’t have to die, because Christ died for us.
The only way to be forgiven of sin and restored to God is to repent and believe in Jesus (Acts 2:38; 17:30; Mark 1:4; Luke 13:3). Jesus is the only way to the Father (1 Timothy 2:5). In John 14:6–7, Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will know my Father as well.”
God longs to connect with us in an intimate friendship. When we believe in Jesus, we become children of God: “But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God” (John 1:12, ESV). When we believe in Jesus, we receive access to God’s holy presence to comfort, protect, lead, and guide us (Ephesians 2: 13, 18; 3:11–12; Hebrews 4:16). He teaches us and speaks to us through His Word (Psalm 119:105) and enables us to live for Him by the power of His Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 2:10–13; John 14:26).
When we believe in Jesus, we receive the greatest gift of all—the salvation of our soul (1 Peter 1:8–9). And this gift is free. We can’t do anything to earn it. We don’t deserve it, but He gives it to us anyway: “God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it” (Ephesians 2:8–9, NLT).
Believing in Jesus opens up our hearts to experience a love like no other—the kind of love that is willing to sacrifice and die for us (John 10:11; Romans 5:8). God’s love is the strongest and most profound loves ever known, and nothing will ever separate us from it (Romans 8:35–39).
Believing in Jesus and having a relationship with God sets us free from our old life of guilt, shame, and sin (John 8:36; Romans 8:2). Only through Christ can we experience the satisfaction our souls long for: “For he satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul he fills with good things” (Psalm 107:9, ESV).
When we enter into a right relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ, we learn who we were created to be and discover the true purpose of our lives: “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them” (Ephesians 2:10, ESV; see also Philippians 3:8–10).

Islam is not the problem, people are the problems. In every religion,
there is always a group that read and act upon information differently that the mass. After all, if Muslims were so evil and are” required” to kill non Muslims, how come we don’t hear that in news?
Stop scaring people and learn to talk and accept our fellow human being. Peace to all
Handsome Jack says
I guess chronology isn’t your strong spot. The Crusades came AFTER centuries of Islamic invasion and oppression of Spain, Greece, Italy, Byzantium, etc. Also, you’ve conflated “fight” with “kill”. They don’t literally mean the same thing.
“Stop scaring people and learn to talk and accept our fellow human being.”
Sounds like Mohammed / Allah needs to take your advice!
Quran 4:56 – “Indeed, those who disbelieve in Our verses – We will drive them into a Fire. Every time their skins are roasted through We will replace them with other skins so they may taste the punishment. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted in Might and Wise.”
So you were saying about ‘Islam not being the problem’?
Shahid Aziz says
It was the Christians who attacked Arabia at the dawn of Islam to extinguish the religion of Islam at its start which started the initial fighting which continued for many centuries. What Allah says He will do is up to him. The verse is about the next life not this. What about the Christian teaching that unless you believe in the blood of Christ you’ll burn in hell. Please show me the weapons of mass deception/destruction that US told the world that Iraq had.

Ahmadiyya Anjuman Ishaat Islam Lahore (UK) says
I sympathise with the author of this article for the loss of his friend. I am also saddened that the actions of a few criminals have made him bitter and made him hate Islam. There are those in the Islamic world who follow the doctrine described in the article but there are others, like this organisation the Ahmadiyya Association for the Propagation of Islam, who reject it and who have fought against it. This fight to restore the spirit of Islam was started by an Indian saint and sage by the name Mirza Ghulam Ahmad who ‘fought’ hard to take Islam back to pristine purity. For example, he exploded the Doctrine of Abrogation and showed all Quranic verses still apply and none are abrogated. I have used the word ‘fight’ here but Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad did not wage a war rather he fought with the pen. We have to learn to see the context in which words are used to understand the message properly. I could argue that Jesus said to turn the other cheek but Christians have never done that and abrogated the concept of forgiveness.
Unfortunately, the author cherry-picks and takes things out of context. For example, he talks about the battles the Holy Prophet Muhammad (s) had to fight. But these were fought on the outskirts of Medina, where the Prophet lived. If Muhammad (peace be upon him) was an aggressor why would these battles be in his city and not that of his opponents?
People tend to use religious and other texts to gain an advantage for themselves. The US constitution says all men are equal but at the same time Americans had slaves and the native Americans were shamefully treated. If that the fault of the US constitution or the Founding Fathers?

Mark Gruben says
While I realize that people have a right to express their opinions, and that a newspaper has a right to publish those opinions, I found this letter to be despicable. This writer offers assertions, posing as facts, adding opinion, misinterpretation, and conjecture, with the result being a truth that is neither true nor very truthful. But it does beg the question – what was his purpose in writing it? More to the point, what was the Journal’s purpose in publishing it? Was it to raise suspicions about Muslims? To create fear? To serve as a warning? Why this, and why now? Or did the Journal simply hope to generate controversy by presenting a dubious narrative, for reasons of its own, reasons it chooses not to reveal? I believe the community is owed an explanation. Accordingly, in the interest of journalistic fairness and integrity, I strongly urge the Journal to seek out the truth – not a partial truth, nor a purported truth – but the full truth, built from facts, and then present that truth to its readership. To do so would serve to fulfill its obligation and its mission to the community: that of a newspaper which is both responsible and responsive, one that endeavors toward a more engaged, enlightened, and informed citizenry. Thank you.

Over a period of time all human beings born on this earth die. Religions are created by human beings. Good human beings have created good part of religion. Any religion which emphasises on killing others or deriving pleasure at cost of others, is created by selfish people. In due course nature or so called God will take control and teach lessons. Just take good advises from all religious scriptures and ignore the selfish ones. Thou shall be happy.

All Muslims Are Not Terrorists and Many Muslims Are Peaceful;—— BUT Then Again,….”SO WERE MOST OF THE Germans..!!!!” There Were “MILLIONS Of PEACEFUL GERMANS TOO,”…….But….”Did That Stop The Nazis From Destroying Majority Of The WORLD..??”………OBVIOUSLY NOT..!!
Fact Is, ‘Muslims Are Only Peaceful While Under An Islamic controlled Dictatorship,’…….BUT Can Be Whipped Up To A Screaming Lather On Any Pretense Of Their Cult Being Wronged.
The Belief In Islam Is Like A Tank Of Gasoline. —— It Looks Innocuous, Until It Meets The Fire. For A Moderate’ Muslim To Become A Murderous Jihadist, All It Takes Is A Spark Of Faith.!!
Well, Reality Sucks When You Try To Sell A False Premise.
