If someone were to lie about the American Constitution and say that it is a document that justified the KKK, crime in America, high divorce rates, immorality in America and other vices, I am sure ALL of us who are Americans will rise to the occasion to defend the Constitution. If someone were to lie about you, your children or your family I am sure you would want to correct the lie so that the truth would be known. If the liar is a belligerent knowing liar I am sure you will not be interested in trying to change him. Your interest will be in simply letting the truth be known. If you don't know something is a lie or just don’t care about the subject being lied about, then I could understand your indifference.

I believe as Americans we should want to know the truth about EVERYTHING!!! Why walk in darkness with a head full of lies about other people and their religions? Knowing the truth about someone else and their beliefs is simple common human courtesy. We should not feel intimidated or fearful of that especially when we are well grounded in our own beliefs. Our purpose should be to become enlightened and not be fearful of being converted. We should treat this the same way as we treat knowing about science, political situations, and world problems, etc, etc. It will be a very evil thing if we were to fight and even kill others only to find out we were hating and killing each other as a result of LIES! Divide and conquer that is the tactic of the Zionists. Enlightenment and understanding should be our tactic to defeat them.

The Zionists and Christian Zionists like Jerry Falwell are lying about Islam as they have been lying about the Palestinians, Muslims, Israel and many other things. Shouldn't those lies also be combated and exposed? Recently Mr. Falwell has called the Prophet of Islam a terrorist. We all know the purpose. It is to further demonize Muslims so that good Christians will feel in their hearts that war and deaths of Muslims are justified. Nevertheless they are lies and big ones at that. In the interest of exposing some of their lies I wrote the following:

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

Al-Islam must be a very serious threat to the Zionists and their dupes the Christian Zionists. I guess after all the negativity surrounding 911 about Muslims, Arabs and Al-Islam they expected the world to condemn Al-Islam and embrace Israel. But instead Al-Islam continues to be the fastest growing religion in the world. Some Mosques are reporting 4 times the increase in the rate of conversions and since 911 more than 34,000 people have converted to Al-Islam right here in the good ole US of A. The Zionists are really mad and have decided to unleash their Christian Zionist dupes with more venom to spout than ever before.

They now have the Christian Zionists in the written and spoken media in full force using among other tools Biblical justification both for supporting Israel and smearing Al-Islam and Prophet Muhammad. Their aim is to achieve what 911 didn't. That is hatred between the Christians and the Muslims. But you notice that in all their media they will dare not try to get any Muslim Imam of note to debate with in order to discredit Al-Islam publicly. No! They dare not do that. After witnessing what happened to Jimmy Swaggart a few years ago when he tried to do that with Imam Ahmad Deedat they said never again. Needless to say Mr. Swaggart was crushed.

But anyway let me go ahead and answer some of the specific charges and accusations made by Jerry Falwell and people of his ilk:

1. How many wives did Prophet Muhammad have? The most reliable sources in the Islamic world has said that the number is 15 not 25. Compared to the hundreds of wives and consorts that David and Solomon had, according to the Old Testament, the Jews and their dupes should not be complaining. Among the 15 wives, 9 of them were widows with most of them having children, none of them had wealth except Khadijah his first wife and 2 of them not much is known about but nuptial relations could not be established as a result of death or other circumstances. The Prophet first got married at the age of 25 to Khadijah who was 40. He was married to her ONLY for 25 years until her death. Please be aware that this was significantly contrary to the custom of the day in which the Arabs married as many women as they wanted.

2. Why did he marry so many women? The Christian Zionists want you to believe that he was a sex maniac like Jimmy Swaggart. Keep in mind that the Prophet was the leader of the Muslim society and came from the wealthiest and noblest tribe. He could have any woman and as many as he wanted. But most of his marriages were to women who needed support. Remember that in those days there were no welfare or government handouts to poor women. Rather than see the women suffer and turn to prostitution or other social vices the Prophet took them in and supported them. Some of the women with children were not wanted by other men.

The reasons for the number of marriages are varied. Here is a listing of some of those reasons. I will briefly comment on some but if needed I could point out the wives and circumstances regarding each reason:

- To spread the message of Al-Islam
- To win the enemies of Al-Islam. The Prophet had 4 marriages for this reason with one of them being to a Jew. The effect of these marriages had the power to stop the wars between the Muslims and the people to whom the Prophet's wives belonged to.
- To establish diplomatic relations. These were marriages that established good relations between the Muslims and other nations that they were not at war with. The marriages were not requests by Muhammad but gestures by the other nations.
- To abolish slaves and war-captives. Al-Islam chose to abolish slavery. Many of the things done by the Prophet were aimed at showing the equality of a slave to anyone in society. Through marriage and other means he gave slaves the most honourable positions in society.
- To fight evil customs.
- To ameliorate the plight of women
- To help the helpless
- To crystallise the formalities and legalities of marriage. Through marriage he gave legal rights and responsibilities to women that were not there in Arab society for women before.
- To check crime and establish order.
- To look after children and take care of the household.
- To demonstrate how to lead married life.

3. Did Muhammad fornicate with a 9 year old girl, Aisha? Boy, what would you Zionist and dupes think of next??? Please be aware that the customs of the people in the time of Muhammad was much different than what it is today. As was the practice of that day the marriage was not consummated until Aisha reached puberty years later. This marital relationship turned out to be one of the most beneficial occurrences for Al-Islam. The Prophet was able to train Aisha at an early age and as a result she became the most erudite, of the profoundest knowledge, of the maturest brain in her time. In fact no better woman-jurist than her has been produced by the world before or after. As a historian, as an orator she had few parallels. She left the largest number of Hadiths (sayings and practices of the Prophet Muhammad), 2210 in all. To the unenlightened, after the Quran the Hadiths is the most important authority for Muslims.

4. Can a Muslim father give his daughter in marriage without her consent? Keep in mind that this is not a Muslim practice it is more a cultural practice of many societies that may or may not be Muslim. The motivation behind this is that parents know their child better than anyone else and have the best interest of their child in mind. They knowing other parents are able to learn about the natures and tendencies in their children and therefore better able to match their child with others. When you compare the divorce rates from marriages done like this to the divorce rates of the western world, this method of marriage produces significantly less divorce. It makes you wonder about the judgement of adults in our society. But nevertheless a marriage that is agreeable by both parties is the most desired method in Al-Islam.

5. Did Muhammad have an Egyptian concubine? No, he had an Egyptian wife! This Egyptian wife was a gift sent by the Egyptian leader to establish good diplomatic relations with the Muslims of Arabia. Sending girls as gifts had great diplomatic significance in those days. This was supposed to be the best token and best pledge of mutual peace, goodwill and good relations between nations.

6. Did he watch over the beheading of Jews and took the chief's wife for himself? The answers to both of these concerns are described below. But in short yes, he did watch over the beheading of Jews and no, he did not take the Jewish chief’s wife to himself. But before you judge you should know some background regarding this.

During the time of Muhammad he had the most difficult time with the Jews. On numerous occasions they broke their treaties with the Muslims and were responsible for instigating and causing a lot of deaths to Muslims. They made fun of Islam and took words out of their original sounds and with a slight variation in pronunciation they twisted their meanings.

They were hypocritical. Pretending and acting like Muslims in front of the Muslims but behind their backs ridiculing the Muslims. There are numerous examples of their treachery against the Muslims in the history of Islam.

Muhammad tolerated their evil for a long time. A small example of the kind of toleration and mercy practiced is in the story about Muhammad and his Jewish neighbour. His neighbour use to put her garbage in front of Muhammad's house everyday. She did this for years as an insult to Muhammad. One day Muhammad noticed that the garbage was not there. He immediately went to visit his Jewish neighbour and offered to provide help if she was sick. He showed love in the face of this woman showing disrespect and hate.

Another example is referred to in the history as Al Ahzab or Al-Khandaq. In Medina Muhammad had a treaty with the Jews in which they both agreed to be at peace with each other. At that time Muhammad's Pagan enemies in the city of Mecca decided to attack the Muslims in Medina with a huge army. The Jews seeing the size of the army of the Pagans broke their treaty with Muhammad and joined the Pagan army to fight against the Muslims. They fought and when Muhammad eventually won he banished the Jews from Medina.

The Jews behaviour has been typical throughout history. They have been double crossing deceitful lying devils and aggressively so.

The Prophet only had one Jewish wife, Safia. She was the daughter of Hai Bin Akhtab, chief of the clan of Banu Nazir. Before this marriage, the Jews always played a prominent role, openly or secretly, in all wars against the Muslim state of Medina; they incited and always sided with the enemies of Al-Islam. After this marriage, the Jews never participated, openly or secretly in any war against Muslims. As such a single marriage achieved what a dozen wars could not.

7. Did Muhammad authorize his soldiers and himself to marry the wives of other soldiers killed in war? Emphatically yes! He did so himself and took these women and their children in rather than see them suffer or turn to vices as a result of not having husbands around to support them.

8. Does Muslim law allow temporary 3 day marriages to satisfy lusts? There is nothing in the Quran that supports that. Yes it is true that some Muslims practiced that. But still it is not sanctioned by Al-Islam. The Quran describes marriage as a sacred relationship and one that should be entered in to please Allah. In fact Al-Islam teaches that half of our religion is completed when we get married. Men and women are described as help-mates to each other. Their purpose in this lifetime is to help each other meet God. It describes divorce as one of the most hated actions by God and encourages the married couple to do all they can to keep their marriage together. These temporary lustful marriages are contrary to all the teachings about marriage in the Quran.

9. Lastly the Quran was revealed over a period of time. Some of the Prophet's wives died before him and some of the marriages only lasted a few months as a result of death. The Arabs at that time were taking on limitless wives. The revelation received by the Prophet limited that number to 4. After that revelation the Prophet did not take on anymore wives. But is polygamy the rule in Al-Islam or monogamy? There is only one verse in the Quran which discusses polygamy. It is:

"If ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, marry women of your choice - two or three or four. But if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one or whom your right hand possesses. That will be more suitable to prevent ye from doing injustice". (An-Nisa, 3)

This verse shows that the Quran favours the natural course of monogamy over polygamy. In fact monogamy is the current practice of most of the Muslims in the world today. This verse aimed at making Muslims feel that they need not worry about the upshot of orphans due to martyrdom or Muslim men being killed in wars, that it was an easy solution to resort to polygamy which was permissible from before.

An important point to look at is what the current practice of a people is. For Hindus even though the Brahmin deities, Raja Dasarath and his pride-son Ramchandra are said to possess wives and non-wives in four or five figures the average Hindu shuns polygamy. Why? The examples set by his gods and goddesses have no practical value; they are not the least binding upon him. He is free to do or not do what is in the best interests of himself or his society or politics. The same can be said about the Jews with David and Solomon having hundreds of wives and consorts.

For Muslims 4 wives is permissible, but the majority practices monogamy.
