What if Christians made an advertisement in the newspapers of Saudi Arabia announcing that we have a lot in common, we love Muslims and respect their religion, but we don’t believe Allah is God or Muhammad is a prophet of the God of the Bible?

Would they let us run these advertisements in their newspapers?
Would they see this as an expression of love and respect?
The answer is a resounding NO. Not only would they not allow such advertisements, but the Muslim world (as usual) would go into a rage with uproar of insults and cries of accusations against all Christians for blaspheming their prophet and Allah, followed by fatwas to kill the people that dared to even suggest those advertisements.

Well, this is exactly what CAIR is doing to the Christians of America and the world by putting these deceiving, blasphemous and hugely insulting ads on the pages of American newspapers. And to add insult to injury, CAIR offers us the poison wrapped in Islamic honey as an act of love and respect, expecting us to swallow it with tears of gratitude in our eyes and choked of emotion as we, the kafirs that believe falsely in a God incarnate Jesus of the Bible, rejoice and recite after CAIR thank you Islam.

Now, let’s prove this deception and this insult from the Koran point by point:

First of all, how would Muslims like it if we call Muhammad "Medo"? Would they take that as sign of respect?
That’s exactly what Muhammad and Muslims did with the name of Jesus; they transformed it to Eissa. Of course, they use the deception of saying that Eissa is the Arabization of the name Jesus, which is a lie. Why do the Christians of Arabic speaking countries never use the name Eissa, but Ya’ssou, derived from the Hebrew Ya’shou, the origin of the name Jesus? Why in the Arabic Bible is there no mention of Eissa? The established doctrine of the Bible is that every name have a specific meaning. Therefore, the name Ya’ssou means The Savior. What does Eissa mean? No Muslim will be able to tell us the meaning of Eissa. Simply, because it has no meaning. Even if we go with the Arabization excuse, how would they like us Americanizing Muhammad to Moody or Modison or Muhamadelson, or Africanize it to Mamadou, and in Italiano it would be Muhammadiano or Muhammadsconi. Isn’t that in itself a big insult to Jesus, the Bible and Christians?

5:51, 9:29, 5:9, 5:57
Second, CAIR ads tell us "Like Christians, Muslims respect and revere Jesus. Islam teaches that Jesus is one of the greatest of God's prophets and messengers to humankind."
And this is the POISON, "like Christians."
Let me make it clear from the beginning that my aim here is not to indulge in comparative religions debate. But to expose a DELIBERATE deception with the intentional aim of disinformation and misleading lies. Slandering the Christians of the world and the Christians of America in particular by insulting their intelligence, abusing their religious tolerance, and making them in spite of themselves having things in common and partners with a so called religion of an Allah that desire nothing less than their extermination unless they follow that Allah and Muhammad, and ad to the manpower of Islam to fulfill its commandments in spreading the extermination of others. All this, in full sunlight, proudly displayed by (who else) CAIR in a perfidious media blitz campaign with full blown ads on the pages of American newspapers.

There is a wealth of material from the Koran and Islamic sources that not only refute that deceiving claim "Like Christians", but actually warns Muslims that they have nothing in common with Christians, and call the Christians and Jews "Kafirs" which is the most degrading Arabic insult used by Muslims towards Christians and Jews that literally equal pagans and allude to something unclean. And since the most unclean animal for a Muslim is the pig, that’s what the word popularly alludes to, and not the Western understanding of the deliberate misleading translation as "unbelievers" which is a different Arabic word. To emphasize the degrading insult of the word kafir let me ad this detail. In a respectful discussion or (as usual) when addressing Western audiences a Muslim would never use the word Kafir. He will use "non Muslim" or "unbeliever." Last but by all means the most condemning point of the degrading and insulting language of the "holy" book of Islam the Koran towards Christians and Jews, is specifically this particular point of its use of the word Kafir while a Muslim abstain from using it when addressing Western audience. This is but one example that shows the embarrassment and shame or the de-facto implicit condemnation of none other but Muslims of the hostility of their "holy" Koran. Furthermore, Christians and Jews are accused of being polytheists, damned, people that strayed from the right path, sons of apes and pigs that should not be taken either as friends or as associate, co-workers, authority (meaning no allegiance to any Christian or Jew in any position of authority whether in a work place or the institutions of the country), and ultimately should either pay the Jeziah (blood money), convert to Islam or be killed.

And what’s the reason for all this? And why have Christians "strayed from the right path," damned and deserve to be killed as kafirs? Very simply, because they believe in the Jesus of the Bible and denounce the Eissa of the Koran.

According to the Koran, all who believe in the crucified Jesus, the Son of God, His crucifixion, death on the cross, the trinity of the Godhead (which includes every Christian on the face of this earth) are Kafirs "Kafirs are those who say Allah is one of three in a Trinity, for there is no god except One Alah". Surah 5:73, which means, to apply on them all the above as commanded in the Koran.

Then we see CAIR, with a magical twist of "advertisement", trashing in one stroke all Christians’ belief in the divinity of Jesus and lowering Him to a second class Prophet behind Muhammad. After all, according to Islam, Muhammad is the most honorable of all creations, of all messengers, the seal of the Prophets, the light of the Throne of Allah, and the one that Allah and his Angels pray on and greet every moment of day and night. Trashing the Bible that declares the divinity of Jesus and his atonement by the redemptive life and death of Jesus on the Cross.

Muhammad the prophet of Islam, 600 hundred years after Jesus, also with a stroke of a pen, trashed the crucifixion of Jesus and His divinity, thereby destroying the foundation of Christian dogma (Hebrew 22:9) since there wouldn’t be any Christianity on the face of this earth if there was no crucifixion and death on the Cross of Jesus. The Cross is the cornerstone of Christianity, no Cross no Christianity, period, coupled with the denial of His divinity "And behold! God will say: O Jesus the son of Mary didst thou say unto men, worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of Allah? He (Jesus) will say: Glory to thee, never could I say what I had no right (to say)". Surah 5:116. Here the Koran is denouncing the Jesus of the Bible as a blasphemer and liar for His claim of divinity, corrupting and crediting the Bible with the false teaching of the divinity of Marry the mother of Jesus. Then, according to Islam, all Christians have been fooled and scammed for 2000 years, deceived by a corrupted Bible (which is another claim fed to Muslims worldwide since birth by their Islamic authorities to deny them the reading of the Bible).

The question now for every Christian on the face of this earth, and more pointedly, the Christians of America who are the target of this deceptive advertisement, what did the advertisement of the Islamic organization CAIR leave of your Christianity? In other words, WHAT IN CHRISTIANITY AND CHRISTIAN FAITH DID CAIR, ACCORDING TO THE ISLAMIC "HOLY" BOOK THE KORAN, NOT TRASH PROUDLY IN THEIR ADVERTISEMENT? And which Christian on the face of this earth would see himself or herself included in that "Like Christians…."?

CAIR states that "Muslims respect and revere Jesus." How much respect would it be to tell people that their King, let alone the King of Kings for the Christians worldwide, is a great second class ambassador?

If that was all, we could still live with it. After all, every one is free to believe or not to believe whatever he chooses, EXCEPT in Islam where Muslims face death if they dare to think differently or choose another religion. No, the poison in CAIR’s advertisement was designed to be wrapped well in sweet honey for the victim’s delight so as not to feel the lethal harm.

Now, back to "Muslims respect and revere Jesus" which CAIR advertisement as well as Muslims addressing Western audiences. Ohhh .. let’s not forget the "Like Christians .."

I’ll start this by a question. What is the symbol of Islam? For who doesn’t know , it’s the crescent (don’t ask me why now, that’s another story.) Another symbol of Islam is the black banner with two crossed swords and the inscription of "La Ellah Ella Allah Wa Muhammad Rasoul Allah" which translate to "No God but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger." As for the two swords, you don’t need a translation

Lying in Islam

By Abdullah Al Araby

Like most religions, Islam in general, forbids lying. The Quran says, "Truly Allah guides not one who transgresses and lies." Surah 40:28. In the Hadith, Mohammed was also quoted as saying, "Be honest because honesty leads to goodness, and goodness leads to Paradise. Beware of falsehood because it leads to immorality, and immorality leads to Hell."

However, unlike most religions, within Islam there are certain provisions under which lying is not simply tolerated, but actually encouraged. The book "The spirit of Islam," by the Muslim scholar, Afif A. Tabbarah was written to promote Islam. On page 247, Tabbarah stated: "Lying is not always bad, to be sure; there are times when telling a lie is more profitable and better for the general welfare, and for the settlement of conciliation among people, than telling the truth. To this effect, the Prophet says: 'He is not a false person who (through lies) settles conciliation among people, supports good or says what is good."

In exploring this puzzling duplicity within Islam, we will examine first some examples from recent and ancient Islamic history. These examples demonstrate that lying is a common policy amongst Islamic clerics and statesmen.

In June of 1967 Egypt was defeated by Israel and lost the Sinai Peninsula during the "Six Day War." Subsequently, Egypt's primary focus became to regain the lost territory. President Nasser, and then, President Sadat, adopted the motto: "No voice should rise over the voice of The Battle." The soldiers that had been drafted in 1967 were kept in service and remained on high alert in the expectation that at any day "the battle" would ensue. Nonetheless, years pasted and Egypt's people became disgruntle with the political hype and the "no peace, and no war" status. In 1972 Sadat proclaimed with finality that it was to be the year for the long anticipated battle. Throughout the year he swore, "I swear to you by my honor that this year will not pass by, before we launch The Battle." People believed him because he was staking his reputation and honor through an oath. To everyone's amazement the year passed without a single shot being fired. As a result many, inside and outside Egypt, began to dismiss him as a "hot air bluff". This opinion was confirmed in the following year of 1973. He made no further mention of his oath about the battle. Many of the draftees were released and numerous officers were given vacation furloughs. Then without warning, in October of 1973, he launched the attack and what was known as the Yom Kippur war began.

As a military commander, Sadat was expected to use the element of surprise to trick the enemy. As a devout Muslim, Sadat was not the least bit concerned about his un-kept oath. He understood that the history and teachings of Islam would exempt him from spiritual accountability if he used lies as a foundation for a strategic military maneuver.

This point is proven by many incidences in the life of Mohammed. He often lied and instructed his followers to do the same. He rationalized that the prospect of success in missions to extend Islam's influence overrode Allah's initial prohibitions against lying. A good example of sanctioned lying is the account of the assassination of Kaab Ibn al-Ashrf, a member of the Jewish tribe, Banu al-Nudair. It had been reported that Kaab had shown support for the Quraishites in their battle against Mohammed. This was compounded by another report that infuriated Mohammed. It was alleged that Kaab had recited amorous poetry to Muslim women. Mohammed asked for volunteers to rid him of Kaab Ibn al-Ashraf. As Mohammed put it, Kaab had "Harmed Allah and His Apostle." At that time Kaab Ibn al-Ashraf, and his tribe were strong, so it was not easy for a stranger to infiltrate and execute the task. A Muslim man by the name of Ibn Muslima, volunteered for the murderous project on the condition that Mohammed would allow him to lie. With Mohammed's consent, Ibn Muslima, went to Kaab and told him fabricated stories that reflected discontent about Mohammed's leadership. When he had gained Kaab's trust he lured him away from his house one night and murdered him in a remote area under the cover of darkness.

A similar example can be found in the story of killing Shaaban Ibn Khalid al-Hazly. It was rumored that Shaaban was gathering an army to wage war on Mohammed. Mohammed retaliated by ordering Abdullah Ibn Anis to kill Shaaban. Again, the would-be killer asked the prophet's permission to lie. Mohammed agreed and then ordered the killer to lie by stating that he was a member of the Khazaa clan. When Shaaban saw Abdullah coming, he asked him, "From what tribe are you?" Abdullah answered, "From Khazaa." He then added, "I have heard that you are gathering an army to fight Mohammed and I came to join you." Abdullah started walking with Shaaban telling him how Mohammed came to them with the heretical teachings of Islam, and complained how Mohammed badmouthed the Arab patriarchs and ruined the Arab's hopes. They continued in conversation until they arrived at Shaaban's tent. Shaaban's companions departed and Shaaban invited Abdullah to come inside and rest. Abdullah sat there until the atmosphere was quiet and he sensed that everyone was asleep. Abdullah severed Shaaban's head and carried it to Mohammed as a trophy. When Mohammed sighted Abdullah, he jubilantly shouted, "Your face has been triumphant (Aflaha al- wajho)." Abdullah returned the greeting by saying, "It is your face, Apostle of Allah, who has been triumphant. (Aflaha wajhoka, ye rasoul Allah)."

Provisions for lying in Islam

Most Muslims are familiar with the principles of Islam that will justify lying in situations where they sense the need to do so. Among these are:

For reconciliation among people.

In war.

Amongst spouses, to keep peace in the family.

One passage from the Hadith quotes Mohammed as saying: "The sons of Adam are accountable for all lies except those uttered to help bring reconciliation between Muslims."

Another says, "Aba Kahl, reconcile among people."(Meaning: even through lying.)

The following quote demonstrates the broadness of situations in which the prophet permitted lying. "The sons of Adam are accountable for all lies with these exceptions: During war because war is deception, to reconcile among two quarreling men, and for a man to appease his wife."

The principle of Al-Takeyya

The Arabic word, "Takeyya", means "to prevent," or guard against. The principle of Al Takeyya conveys the understanding that Muslims are permitted to lie as a preventive measure against anticipated harm to one's self or fellow Muslims. This principle gives Muslims the liberty to lie under circumstances that they perceive as life threatening. They can even deny the faith, if they do not mean it in their hearts. Al-Takeyya is based on the following Quranic verse:

"Let not the believers Take for friends or helpers Unbelievers rather than believers: if any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah: except by way of precaution (prevention), that ye may Guard yourselves from them (prevent them from harming you.) But Allah cautions you (To remember) Himself; for the final goal is to Allah." Surah 3: 28

According to this verse a Muslim can pretend to befriend infidels (in violation of the teachings of Islam) and display adherence with their unbelief to prevent them from harming him.

Under the concept of Takeyya and short of killing another human being, if under the threat of force, it is legitimate for Muslims to act contrary to their faith. The following actions are acceptable:

Drink wine, abandon prayers, and skip fasting during Ramadan.

Renounce belief in Allah.

Kneel in homage to a deity other than Allah.

Utter insincere oaths.

The implications of the principle of Al-Takeyya

Unfortunately, when dealing with Muslims, one must keep in mind that Muslims can communicate something with apparent sincerity, when in reality they may have just the opposite agenda in their hearts. Bluntly stated, Islam permits Muslims to lie anytime that they perceive that their own well-being, or that of Islam, is threatened.

In the sphere of international politics, the question is: Can Muslim countries be trusted to keep their end of the agreements that they sign with non-Muslim nations? It is a known Islamic practice, that when Muslims are weak they can agree with most anything. Once they become strong, then they negate what they formerly vowed.

The principle of sanctioning lying for the cause of Islam bears grave implications in matters relating to the spread of the religion of Islam in the West. Muslim activists employ deceptive tactics in their attempts to polish Islam's image and make it more attractive to prospective converts. They carefully try to avoid, obscure, and omit mentioning any of the negative Islamic texts and teachings.

An example of Islamic deception is that Muslim activists always quote the passages of the Quran from the early part of Mohammed's ministry while living in Mecca. These texts are peaceful and exemplify tolerance towards those that are not followers of Islam. All the while, they are fully aware that most of these passages were abrogated (cancelled and replaced) by passages that came after he migrated to Medina. The replacement verses reflect prejudice, intolerance, and endorse violence upon unbelievers

In conclusion, it is imperative to understand, that Muslim leaders can use this loop-hole in their religion, to absolve them from any permanent commitment. It is also important to know that what Muslim activists say to spread Islam may not always be the whole truth. When dealing with Muslims, what they say is not the issue. The real issue is, what they actually mean in their hearts.

Putting Tolerance to the Test:

Vanhecke said, "This is the kind of people we are dealing with - people who do not come to our country to adapt, to make a new life, to start again, to make a living, to be thankful for the country that accepts them. We are talking about people who, in fact, come to us as rulers, who want to become masters in our country. And I personally think, I fear, that this is a part of the Islamic religion."

THE ISSUES of Life According to the "Quran"

By Abdullah Al Araby

Jump to:   Women's Rights   Sex and Marriage   Human Rights   Democracy  
Eternal Security

Islam is more than a religion; it is a comprehensive way of life. The Quran, Mohammed, his immediate followers, and generations of theologians prescribed numerous regulations governing every aspect of the Muslim social, political, economic, and religious life.

In this article we will examine only a few of these Islamic regulations, based on the most reliable source of all Islamic teachings, the Quran. The reader must determine whether it is acceptable to live under such teachings.

WOMEN'S RIGHTS

Are women equal to men according to Islam?

o Islam teaches that women are inferior to men.

"...And women shall have rights similar to the rights against them, according to what is equitable; but men have a degree over them..." Surah 2:228

In what areas are women unequal to men in Islam?

o Islam teaches that women are less than equal to men in at least two major areas:

First, in inheritance: A woman's share is half that of a man.

"To the male a portion equal to that of two females..." Surah 4:11

Second, in court witness: The witness of two women equals the witness of one man.

"And get two witnesses out of your own men, and if there are not two men, then a man and two women such as ye choose, for witness..." Surah 2:282

What is the status of a wife in relation to her husband?

o Islam considers the wife a possession.

"...Fair in the eyes of men is the love of things they covet: Women and sons; heaped-up hoards of gold and silver; horses..." Surah 3:14

What is the extent of a husband's authority over his wife in Islam?

o Islam teaches that a wife is subject to punishment by her husband. As a punishment, beating a wife or abstaining from sexual relations with her is allowed.

"...As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, Admonish them, refuse to share their beds, beat them,..." Surah 4:34

"For those who take an oath for abstention from their wives, a waiting for four months is ordained; if they return, God is oft-forgiving, most merciful." Surah 2:226

What rules apply only to women regarding their appearance in public?

o Islam instructs women to veil themselves always when they are outside their homes.  And, even inside their homes, in certain situations.

"And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty..." Surah 24:31

"O prophet! Tell thy wives and daughters, and the believing women, that they should cast their outer garments over their persons (when abroad)..." Surah 33:59
 

top

SEX AND MARRIAGE

How many wives may a Muslim man marry?

o Islam allows polygamy: A man may marry up to four wives at one time.

"...Marry women of your choice, two,or three, or four..." Surah 4:3

Note: Extra privileges were given to Mohammed, "The Prophet of Islam." He was allowed unlimited wives. Mohammed had 13 wives in addition to several concubines which we know of for a fact.

Ayesha was only nine years old at the time he married her, Mohammed was fifty-three years old. Another wife, Zaynab Bint Jahsh, was his daughter-in-law. When Zaid, Mohammed's adopted son, saw that Mohammed desired his wife, he divorced her so that Mohammed could marry her.

What is the sexual role of the wife in marriage according to Islam?

o Islam considers the wife a sex object.

"Your wives are as a tilth (a field to be ploughed) unto you, so approach your tilth
when or how ye will." Surah 2:223

Is divorce allowed in Islam?

o A man can divorce his wife by oral pronouncement. The wife has no such right in the Quran.

"It may be, if he divorced you that Allah will give him in exchange consorts better than you..." Surah 66:5

May a man reunite with his wife after divorcing her?

o When a husband has pronounced divorce three times on his wife, he may not lawfully remarry her until she has married (and had sexual intercourse) and been divorced by another man called "Al Mohalil" (the legalizer).

"A divorce is only permissible twice; after that, the parties should either hold together on equitable terms, or separate with kindness,..." Surah 2:229

"...So if a husband divorces his wife he cannot after that, remarry her until after she has married another husband, and he has divorced her, in that case there is no blame on either of them if they reunite..." Surah 2:230

HUMAN RIGHTS

Does Islam permit freedom of choice regarding religion?

o Islam compels its adherents to force others to accept Islam. Muslims must fight until all their opponents submit to Islam, unless, of course, those opponents prefer death.   Christians and Jews may be spared if they pay "Jizya" (penalty tax) with willing submission, and humiliation.

"Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the last day... Nor acknowledge the religion of truth, (even if they are) of the people of the Book, until they pay the Jizya (taxes) with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued." Surah 9:29

"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 (ambush) 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." Surah 9:5 (see also Surah 2:193)

"Therefore; when ye meet the unbelievers (in a fight) smite at their necks; at length;
when ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind a bond firmly in (on them): thereafter (is the time for) either generosity or ransom, until the war lays down its burdens."  Surah 47:4

Does Islam teach the equality of all people?

o Islam teaches that Muslims are superior to others.

"Ye (Muslims) are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind..." Surah 3:110

Can Islam co-exist with and tolerate other religions?

o Islam condemns non-Muslims, other than Christians and Jews, as infidels.

"The life of this world is alluring to those who reject faith (infidels), and they scoff at
those who believe. But the righteous will be above them on the day of resurrection..." Surah 2:212

o Neither do Christians and Jews escape Islam's condemnation.

"The Jews call Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah.
That is a saying from their mouths; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers
(infidels) of old used to say. Allah's curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the truth!"  Surah 9:30

o Islam instructs Muslims to not befriend Jews or Christians.

"O ye who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors. They are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is one of them. Allah guideth not a people unjust." Surah 5:51

What happens to a person who converts to Islam and then later changes his mind?

o Islam teaches that any person who accepts Islam and then later turns away from it will be subject to death.

"But if they violate their oath after their covenant, and taunt you for your faith, fight ye the chiefs of unfaith: for their oaths are nothing to them." Surah 9:12
(See also Surah 4:89)
 

top

DEMOCRACY

Does Islam teach the "Separation of Church and State?"

o Islam teaches that the Quran is the Constitution, God is the author of law, and the State is the agent to implement the law.

"And fight them on, until there is no more tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in Allah (and the religion is Allah's)." Surah 2:193

"We have sent down to thee the Book (the Quran) in truth, that thou mightest judge between men, as guided by Allah: so be not as an advocate by those who betray their trust." Surah 4:105

"So judge between them by what Allah hath revealed and follow not their vain desires, diverging from the truth that has come to thee. To each among you have we prescribed a law and open way." Surah 5:48

"The command (the rule) is for none but Allah; He hath commanded that ye worship none but Him: That is the right religion, but most men understand not."  Surah 12:40

How Does the Quran consider those who do not abide by its laws?

o The Quran considers them wrong-doers, rebels, and unbelievers.

"And if any fail to judge by what Allah hath revealed, they are wrong-doers." Surah 5:45

"If any do fail to judge by what Allah hath revealed, they are those who rebel." Surah 5:47

"If any do fail to judge by what Allah has revealed,they are unbelievers." Surah 5:44

What are some of Islamic rules and punishments that must be implemented in an Islamic
State?

o Islam imposes a harsh code of punishment on those who violate its laws. Here are some examples:

§ Resisting Islam: punished by death, crucifixion or the cutting off of the hands and feet.

"The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Apostle, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of the hands and feet from opposite sides or exile from the land..." Surah 5:33
 

§ Adultery and Fornication: punished by public flogging for the unmarried person. For the married, the punishment is stoning.

"The woman and the man guilty of adultery or fornication, flog each of them with a hundred stripes; let not compassion move you in their case, in a matter prescribed by Allah, if ye believe in Allah and the Last Day; and let a party of the believers witness their punishment." Surah 24:2
 

§ Stealing: punished by amputation of the hands.

"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." Surah 5:38
 

§ Drinking: punished by 40 to 80 lashes according to the Hadith (Mohammed's sayings). - See Sahih al-Bukhari vol. 8:770
 

o Islam forbids wine.

"O ye who believe! Intoxicants and gambling, stones and arrows, are an abomination, of Satan's handiwork: Eschew such that you may prosper." Surah 5:90

o Ironically, the faithful are promised "rivers of wine" in Paradise.

"The garden which the righteous are promised...in it are rivers of wine, a joy to those who drink..." Surah 47:15

"...truly the righteous will be in bliss,,, their thirst will be slaked with pure wine sealed."  Surah 83:22, 25

Would these laws be imposed on non-Muslim minorities in an Islamic State?

o Non-Muslims must follow the same rules, and are subject to the same punishment.

"If anyone desires a religion other than Islam, never will it be accepted of him; and in
the hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost. "  Surah 3:85

Would an opposition party be allowed in an Islamic State?

o No, because the ruler rules by a mandate from God, and God must not be opposed.

"Whatever it be wherein ye differ, the decision (the rule) thereof is with Allah: such is
Allah my Lord: In Him I trust, and to Him I turn." Surah 42:10

"O ye who believe obey Allah  and the Apostle and those charged with authority among you. If you differ in anything among yourselves, refer it to Allah and His Apostle. "
Surah 4:59

Has the experiment of an Islamic State been applied in modern history? If so, how successful has it been?

o There are many countries today that rule, to different degrees, by Islamic laws. Some of the countries that rigidly apply Islam are: Saudi Arabia, Iran, Sudan, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. The condition of these countries speaks for itself; human rights violations, violence and terrorism, oppression and persecution. Most Islamic countries are economically bankrupt.

ETERNAL SECURITY

How sure can a Muslim be about his eternity?

o Islam teaches that "fate" decides everyone's eternal destination.

"Every man's fate We have fastened on his own neck: on the day of Judgment We shall bring out for him a scroll which he will see spread open." Surah 17:13
 

o The Quran teaches that every Muslim will pass through hell.

"Not one of you but will pass over it (originally: through it [hell]). This is a decree which must be accomplished." Surah 19:71
 

o The only assurance for a Muslim to go to heaven is through fighting for the cause of spreading Islam and being martyred in the process.

"And if ye are slain, or die in the way of Allah, forgiveness and mercy from Allah are far better than all they could amass." Surah 3: 157

Does the God of Islam lead each Muslim to eternal salvation?

o According to the Quran, God leads and misleads as He pleases.

"Allah leaves straying those whom He pleases and guides whom He pleases."  Surah 14:4

"Those whom God willeth to guide, He openeth their breast to Islam; Those whom He willeth to leave straying, He maketh their breast close and constricted as if they had to climb up to the skies." Surah 6:125
 

o God's will is that some be not guided aright, but He will inflict punishment on them for not being guided aright.

"If We had so willed, We could certainly have brought every soul its true guidance: But the word from Me will come "I will fill hell with jinns (demons) and men all together."Surah 32:13
 

o God makes it impossible for those who reject Islam to believe later.

"As to those who reject faith, it is the same to them whether thou warn them or do not warn them; they will not believe. Allah hath set a seal on their hearts and on their hearing, and on their eyes is a veil; great is the penalty they (incur)." Surah 2:6-7
 

o God orders people to transgress so that He will have an excuse to destroy them.

"When We decide to destroy a population, We (first) send a definite order to those among them who are given the good things of this life to transgress, so that the word is proved true against them: then (it is) We destroy them utterly." Surah 17:16
 

o It is up to Allah to forgive and punish as He pleases.

"He (Allah) forgiveth whom He pleaseth, and punisheth whom He pleaseth, for Allah has power over all things." Surah 2:284

What is Islam's concept of heaven?

o Heaven in Islam is the place where a Muslim man will be reclining, eating meat and delicious fruits, drinking exquisite wines, and engaging in sex with beautiful women, (and eternally-young beautiful boys or young men "Wildan or Ghilman," (according to some Muslim theologians). There is no mention of women's rewards.

"As to the righteous, they will be in gardens, and in happiness...(to them will be said:) "Eat and drink ye, with profit and health, because of your (good) deeds." They will recline (with ease) on thrones (of dignity) arranged in ranks; and We shall join them (in the original: marry them) to companions with beautiful, big and lustrous eyes... And We shall bestow on them, of fruit and meat, anything they desire. They shall there exchange, one with another, a cup free of frivolity, free of all taint of ill. Round about them will serve to them youths (handsome) as pearls well-guarded." Surah 52:17, 19, 20, 22-24 (see also Surah 4:57; Surah 76:12-22; Surah 55:54-56; and Surah 47:15)

The Peaceful Prophet of Mecca Changes into the Ruthless Warrior of Medina

Mohammed's decision to relocate his new movement from Mecca to Medina presented an economic challenge. He had to find a method of supporting himself and his followers that would also provide an adequate base to finance the ever-increasing demands of the Muslim movement. The traditional method for acquiring wealth among the Arabs at the time was attacking other tribes and seizing their possessions. Muslims living in Medina found no easier way than doing that. They started to make raids (Ghaswa) on other tribes and passing caravans.

The first raid was called an-Nakhla. Muslims, led by Abdullah bin Jahsh, waited in ambush near a place called an-Nakhla and took the passing Qorayshite caravan by surprise. Muslims killed the leader of the caravan and captured two men and the entire cargo goods.

The turning point in Mohammed's life, however, was the raid against Badr. Muslims were able to kill dozens of Meccans and take scores of prisoners and much booty. On their way back to Medina some of those prisoners were put to death. One of them was a man name Uqbah bin abi Muait. Before his execution Uqbah pleaded with Mohammed saying, "Who, then, will take care of my little girl?" Mohammed answered, "Hell-fire."

After that, a confident Mohammed starting moving against his enemies in a series of attacks that resulted in the elimination of Jewish tribes and the assassination of certain individuals for the slightest offense. The assassination of Kaab ibn al-Ashraf, of the Jewish tribe Banu al-Nodair, was prompted by Kaab showing sympathy for the Qorayshites, and then when he returned to Mecca he recited amorous poetry to Muslim women. Mohammed was enraged and asked for volunteers to rid him of ibn al-Ashraf. Those who volunteered asked for permission to lie in order to lure him out of his house at night into a remote area where they were able to kill him.

A poetess named Asmaa bint Marwan was ordered to be killed for uttering a few verses of poetry against Mohammed. A Muslim assassin, acting on Mohammed's orders, crept at night into the women's bed while her suckling baby was attached to her breast. The man plucked the baby from her breast and then plunged his sword into her abdomen. Later, the killer, fearing the consequences of his crime, asked Mohammed, "Will there be any danger to me on her account?" Mohammed answered, "Two goats will not butt each other about her."

There were many other outrageous assassinations ordered by Mohammed. Abu Afak, an old man of 120 years of age was murdered for composing poetry critical of the Prophet. Another brutal assassination was against an aged women by the name of Umm Kirfa. They tied her legs to camels which were then driven in opposite directions. The poor woman was split into two pieces.

The reality of the Muslim assassin's brutality is punctuated by their practice of cutting off the heads of victims and bringing them to Mohammed. As the killers came into view carrying with them the evidence of Allah's victory over the enemies of Mohammed, a jubilant Mohammed would cry, "Allaho Akbar," (God is great)!

The list of these horrendous acts is too long, much is too repulsive to mention. What has been cited should be sufficient to say about the man that Muslims describe as the "prophet of peace and mercy"!

The essential problem is that the fruit of Mohammed's legacy exists today. As Muslims get deeper into Islam, they simply try to follow in the footsteps of their prime example. Can one still wonder why so much violence is committed, around the world, in the name of Islam?

The Abrogator and the Abrogated

In their attempt to polish Islam's image, Muslim activists usually quote the Meccan passages of the Quran that call for love, peace and patience. They deliberately hide the Medenan passages that call for killing, decapitating, and maiming.

Muslim activists also fail to reveal to people in the West a major doctrine in Islam called "al-Nasikh wal-Mansoukh" (the Abrogator and the Abrogated). This simply means that when a recent verse in the Quran gives a contradictory view to another verse that preceded it (chronologically), the recent verse abrogates (cancels and replaces) the old verse and renders it null and void.

This doctrine is based on the Quran, where Allah allegedly says in Surah 2:106, "None of Our revelations do We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, but We substitute something better or similar: Knowest thou not that Allah Hath power over all things?" Also, in Surah 16:101 "When We substitute one revelation for another, and Allah knows best what He reveals (in stages), they say, "Thou art but a forger": but most of them understand not."

One of Islam's classical reference books, written by a recognized Muslim scholar, deals in great detail with the subject. The title of the book is "al-Nasikh wal-Mansoukh" (The Abrogator and the Abrogated) by Abil-Kasim Hibat-Allah Ibn-Salama Abi-Nasr. The book goes through every chapter in the Quran and points in full detail to every verse that has been canceled and what verse replaced it. The author noted that out of 114 Surahs (chapters) of the Quran, there are only 43 Surahs that were not affected by this concept.

An example of the abrogation: there are 124 versus that call for tolerance and patience which have been canceled and replaced by this one single verse: "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)....." Surah 9:5

One doesn't help but wonder: how Allah, the all-powerful, the all-knowing, needs to revise himself so often?

The Real Attitude of Islam Towards Christians and Jews

We have discussed the facade that Muslim activists in the West have been displaying to Christians and Jews. They have been saying that Islam is compatible with Christianity and Judaism. Some Christian and Jewish leaders have been deceived into believing them. The following "Fatwa" (Sanction) by a prominent Islamist tells, exactly and bluntly, what Muslims really think of Christians and Jews.

From the Muslim site of Ibrahim Shafi on the Internet:
http://www.wam.uwd.edu/~ibrahim
[Answer by Shaikh Ibn Uthaimin]

Question:  One of the preachers in one of the mosques in Europe claimed that it is not allowed to consider Jews and Christians disbelievers. You know - may Allah preserve you - that most of the people who attend the mosques in Europe have very little knowledge. We fear that statements like this one will become widespread. Therefore, we request from you a complete and clear answer to this question.

Answer:  I say: The statement that came from that man is misguidance. In fact, it can be blasphemy. This is because Allah has declared that Jews and Christians are disbelievers in His Book. Allah has said, "The Jews call Uzair a son of Allah and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouths; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah's curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the truth! They take their priests and their anchorites to be their lords in derogation of Allah and (they take as their Lord) Christ the son of Mary: Yet they were commanded to worship but one Allah: there is no god but He. Praise and glory to him: (far is He) from having the partners they associate (with him)." [Al-Taubah 9:30, 31]

That shows that they are polytheists who associate partners with Allah. In other verses, Allah has made it clear that they are disbelievers:

"in blasphemy indeed are they who say that Allah is the Christ, son of Mary." {Al-Maidah 5:17 and 72]

"They do blaspheme who say, God is one of three (in a Trinity)." {Al-Maidah 5:73]

"Curses were pronounced on those among the Children of Israel who rejected faith by the tongue of David and of Jesus the son of Mary." {Al-Maidah 5:78]

"Those who reject (truth) among the People of the Book and the Polytheists will be in hellfire to dwell therein (for aye). They are the worst of creatures.." {Al-Bayyinah 98:6]

Many versus and Hadith express the same meaning. The one, who rejects the idea that the Jews and Christians who do not believe in Mohammed (peace be upon him) and deny him are disbelievers, is in fact denying what Allah has said. Denying what Allah has said is blasphemy. If anyone has any doubt concerning them being disbelievers, then he himself is also a disbeliever. This is a matter concerning which there is no room for doubt. And help is sought only with Allah.

True Islam

First and foremost...we believe in what we believe to be the TRUTH, and we don't try to, nor do we have the right to impose it on anyone.

If you don't agree with what is in here, that is TOTALLY YOUR CHOICE....YOUR GOD GIVEN SACRED FREEDOM TO CHOOSE....Make sure you recognize other's rights in that regard as well, and remember...GOD will be the ULTIMATE judge in the day of judgment.

[2:256] There shall be no compulsion in The "method of duty": the right way is now distinct from the wrong way. Anyone who denounces the devil and believes in GOD has grasped the strongest bond; one that never breaks. GOD is Hearer, Omniscient.

We are doing our duty in this life in conveying GOD'S MESSAGE in HIS BOOK to the whole wide world...a message that has ALL the answers to ALL major and essential Questions, The solution to every problem, and the guaranteed success in this life, and the life after.

[17:9] This QURAN guides to the best path, and brings good news to the believers who lead a righteous life, that they have deserved a great recompense.

A message that calarify, and explain GOD'S "METHOD OF DUTY" TO ALL MANKIND ( DEEN )... a Method of duty that is based on logic and rational, a Method that start with the sincere, progressive process of SEEKING GOD'S GUIDANCE AND SUBMITTING TO HIM, a Method that will lead to ULTIMATE SALVATION...a Method that is called....ISLAM.

[39:3] ABSOLUTELY, The "METHOD OF DUTY" shall be devoted to GOD alone. Those who set up idols beside Him say, "We idolize them only to bring us closer to GOD"!!, GOD will judge them regarding their disputes. GOD does not guide such liars, disbelievers.

A message of peace, freedom, equality, justice, and happiness.....a message of Knowledge and wisdom...a message of honesty and integrity....a message of mercy and compassion....a message of love and goodness......and MUCH, MUCH MORE!

A message that is "TOTALLY DIFFERENT" than what you see and hear, in and about the so-called Islamic world...in reality they are in believe, and in practice, are as far from ISLAM as they can be!!

In reality - as you will see in this site - they have been under GOD'S curse, for centuries now, for not only neglecting GOD'S pure, Genuine Message in the QURAN, but because they distort GOD'S message day and night by blindly and constantly following conjectures, hearsay, and blindly following their ancestors, and by spreading lies about GOD, HIS message, and HIS messengers, by imposing un-justified suffering and hardship on themselves and on their people, forbidding what if lawful, and making lawful what is frobidden, and by dividing themselves into SECTS abusing each others in the name of ISLAM!!!!

The only way-out is to SINCERELY AND HUMBLY SEEK GOD'S GUIDANCE....and when you SEEK...YOU WILL KNOW, FOR SURE, THAT YOU ARE GUIDED, WHEN YOU ARE TRULY GUIDED.

[14:4] We did not send any messenger except (to preach) in the tongue of his people, in order to clarify things for them. GOD then sends astray whomever SEEKS to go astray, and guides whomever SEEKS to be guided. He is the Almighty, the Most Wise.

But for the Arrogant, Insincere, Blind Follower...he well be led astray by GOD...WHILE HE THINK HE IS GUIDED, so he can dwell therein for the longest time for having deceived himself...and that is GOD'S punishment, here in this life, FOR HIM TO RECONSIDER, AND AS A LESSON FOR THE GUIDED ONES TO WITTINESS AND TO LEARN FROM, before the life-after.

The glorification of ancestors, prophets/messengers, Imams, traditions, etc, etc...is a form of IDOLTRY THAT HAS A BLINDING, DEVASTATING EFFECT ON PEOPLE.

[2:170] When they are told, "Follow what GOD has revealed herein," they say, "We follow only what we found our parents doing." What if their forefathers did not understand, and were not guided?

 

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

[31:20] Do you not see that GOD has committed in your service everything in the heavens and the earth, and has showered you with His blessings - obvious and hidden? Yet, some people argue about GOD without knowledge, without guidance, and without the enlightening scripture.

[31:21] When they are told, "Follow these revelations of GOD," they say, "No, we follow only what we found our parents doing." What if the devil is leading them to the agony of Hell?

TAKE CARE

SEEK GOD, AND DON'T RESPECT ANYONE ELSE MORE THAN HIM, AND NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO DOMINATE YOUR LIFE MORE THE ONE TRUE WORTHY GOD...BE AWARE AND USE YOUR GOD GIVEN SACRED FREEDOM...THERE IS NO COPMULSION IN GOD'S "METHOD OF DUTY"

[ 23:75-117 ]

DON'T LET ANYONE TERRORISE YOUR WAY OF THINKING, IT IS YOUR FREEDOM AND IT IS YOUR CHOICE...SO BE FREE AND RESPONSIBLE IN MAKING YOUR CHOICE...EXCUSES WILL NOT SAVE YOU IN THE DAY OF JUDGMENT. [ Chapter/Sura: 75 ]

[39:36] Is GOD not sufficient for His servant? They frighten you with the idols they set up beside Him. Whomever GOD sends astray, nothing can guide him.

DON'T FOLLOW ANYONE OR ANYTHING BLINDLY...THAT IS WHY GOD PROVIDED US WITH THE SIGHT, HEARING, AND ENTELLIGENCE. ( 7:172-179).

[17:36] You shall not accept any information, unless you verify it for yourself. I have given you the hearing, the eyesight, and the brain, and you are responsible for using them.

DON'T FOLLOW CONJECTURES AS CONJECTURES IS NO SUBSTITUTE TO THE TRUTH. [ 6:117, 10:66, 53:23/28 ]

LOOK FOR PROOFS AND EVIDENCE [ 21:24, 27:64 ]

AND WHAT IS MORE PROOF, AND MORE EVIDENCE FOR THOSE WHO CLAIM TO BELIEVE IN THE QURAN THAN THE QURAN ITSELF .

[10:31] Say, "Who provides for you from the heaven and the earth? Who controls all the hearing and the eyesight? Who produces the living from the dead, and the dead from the living? Who is in control of all things?" They would say, "GOD." Say, "Why then do you not observe the commandments?"

[10:32] Such is GOD, your rightful Lord. What is there after the truth, except falsehood? How could you disregard all this?

[10:33] This is what your Lord's decision does to those who choose to be wicked: they cannot believe.

[10:34] Say, "Can any of your idols initiate creation, then repeat it?" Say, "GOD initiates the creation, then repeats it."

[10:35] Say, "Does any of your idols guide to the truth?" Say, "GOD guides to the truth. Is one who guides to the truth more worthy of being followed, or one who does not guide, and needs guidance for himself? What is wrong with your judgment?"

[10:36] Most of them follow nothing but CONJECTURE, and conjecture is no substitute for the truth. GOD is fully aware of everything they do.

[10:37] This QURAN could not possibly be authored by other than GOD. It confirms all previous messages, and provides a DETAILED scripture. NO DOUBTS, for it comes from the Lord of the universe.

[10:38] If they say, "He fabricated it," say, "Then produceone sura like these, and invite whomever you wish, other than GOD, if you are truthful."

[10:39] Indeed, they have rejected this without studying and examining it, and before understanding it. Thus did those before them disbelieve. Therefore, note the consequences for the unjust.

[10:40] Some of them believe (in this scripture), while others disbelieve in it. Your Lord is fully aware of the evildoers.

[10:41] If they reject you, then say, "I have my works, and you have your works. You are innocent of anything I do, and I am innocent of anything you do."

[10:42] Some of them listen to you, but can you make the deaf hear, even though they cannot understand?

THE ULTIMATE TEST!

PASSING THE TEST BY BEING RESPONSIBLE OF OUR GOD GIVEN FREEDOM BY BEST USING OUR GOD GIVEN ENTELLIGENCE IN SEEKING HIS GUIDANCE AND SUBMITTING TO HIM

 

[6:114] SHALL I SEEK other than GOD as a source of law, when He has revealed to you this book DETAILED? Those who received the scripture recognize that it has been revealed from your Lord, truthfully. You shall not harbor any doubt.

Seeking GOD'S Guidance and submitting to him, does NOT mean you will become a fanatic or extremest...extremism is an un-healthy condition that could effect anyone in any believe system.

[16:90] GOD advocates justice, charity, and regarding the relatives. And He forbids evil, vice, and transgression. He enlightens you, that you may take heed.

No matter where you are, No matter where you come from...YOU ARE BEING MONITORED BY THE ALMIGHTY GOD, AND BEING TESTED BY HIM...[ 51:50-60 ]

The very important and essential part of the TEST is, after having CREATED, and PROVIDED you with everything...after having PROVIDED YOU WITH THE ENTELLIGENCE, THE WILL POWER, AND THE FREEDOM...THE FREEDOM TO CHOOSE, SEEK KNOWLEDGE AND GUIDANCE...WILL YOU THEN SEEK HIS GUIDANCE, OR DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING ELSE BETTER TO DO!!

[33:72] We have offered the responsibility (freedom of choice) to the heavens and the earth, and the mountains, but they refused to bear it, and were afraid of it. But the human being accepted it; he was transgressing, ignorant.

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

[67:1/2] Most exalted is the One in whose hands is all kingship, and He is Omnipotent.* The One who created death and life for the purpose of distinguishing those among you who would do better. He is the Almighty, the Forgiving.

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

[16:93] Had GOD willed, He could have made you one congregation. But He sends astray whoever SEEKS to go astray, and He guides whoever SEEKS to be guided. You will surely be ACCOUNTABLE for things you have done.

 

 

Passing the TEST will need Guidance...and you have to SINCERELY AND HUMBLY SEEK GOD'S GUIDANCE TO BE GUIDED.

GOD'S greatest gift to mankind is in providing Him with a spirit from HIS own spirit...the two greatest aspects of this spirit is, the ENTELLIGENCE and the FREEDOM ( will power )...and you know how they are very much related....the ability to think and make choices...that GREAT gift came with GREAT responsibility.

[17:70] We have honored the children of Adam, and provided them with rides on land and in the sea. We provided for them good provisions, and we gave them greater advantages than many of our creatures.

[17:71] The day will come when we summon every people, together with their record. As for those who are given a record of righteousness, they will read their record and will not suffer the least injustice.

[17:72] As for those who are blind in this life, they will be blind in the Hereafter; even a lot worse.

[17:73] They almost diverted you from the revelations we have given you. They wanted you to fabricate something else, in order to consider you a friend.

[17:74] If it were not that we strengthened you, you almost leaned towards them just a little bit.

[17:75] Had you done that, we would have doubled the retribution for you in this life, and after death, and you would have found no one to help you against us.

[17:76] They almost banished you from the land to get rid of you, so they could revert as soon as you left.

[17:77] This has been consistently the case with all the messengers that we sent before you, and you will find that our system never changes.

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

[14:4] We did not send any messenger except (to preach) in the tongue of his people, in order to clarify things for them. GOD then sends astray whomever SEEKS to go astray, and guides whomever SEEKS to be guided. He is the Almighty, the Most Wise.

 

The most basic fundamental aspect of this responsibility is to seek, recognize,and Thank the CREATOR, SUSTAINER, and PROVIDER of these qualities,and by doing the most rightful, logical, rational righteous Thing which is seeking HIS guidance and in reaching-out to HIM and HIS support to be worthy of these gifts/qualities and to make sure that they are WORKING FOR YOU NOT AGAINST YOU....AND ULTIMATELY MAKE SURE YOU PASS THE TEST.

Attempting to fool THE GOD, will only mean, your are fooling YOURSELF!!

AND WHO WOULD REJECT THE CREED OF ABRAHAM EXCEPT  ONE WHO FOOLS HIMSELF? WE HAVE SELECTED  HIM IN THIS WORLD, AND IN THE HEREAFTER HE IS OF THE RIGHTEOUS. [2:130]
