Top ten reasons why Islam is not the religion of peace
Ever since 9/11, Muslim leaders who have access to the national media have told us that Islam is the religion of peace and that violence does not represent the essence of Muhammadââ¬s religion.Even President Bush and Britainââ¬s Prime Minister Blair have repeated this assertion, saying that Islam has been ''hijacked'' by a few violent fanatics. Is this true? Sadly it is not, for empirical, observable facts demonstrate beyond doubt that Islam at its founding is filled with violenceââ¬"in the life of Muhammad himself and in the Quran itself. Hence, these Muslim apologists must stop misleading unsuspecting Westerners, and they must be honest about the heart of their religion, for once and for all. Here are ten clear, verifiable reasons that explain why Islam is not the religion of peace. Clear? In order to prevent the standard, reflexive ''out of context'' defense from Muslim apologists, the context of each verse in the Quran is explained either in this article or in the links provided within each of the ten reasons. No verse is taken out of context, and Muslim translators are used. Verifiable? The readers are invited to look up each verse in the Quran in multiple translations, by visiting this website and typing in references, like so: 61:10-12. (61 is the chapter or sura, and 10-12 are the verses). Once at the site, they should ignore request for the transliterated Arabic titles of the chapters in the Quran, and just type in the numbers. 10. Muhammad nicknames his weapons. 9. Muhammad commands in his Quran that adulterers and adulteresses should receive a hundred lashes. 8. Muhammad in his Quran permits husbands to beat their wives. 7. Muhammad in his Quran commands that the hands of male or female thieves should be cut off. 6. Muhammad assassinates poets and poetesses. 5. Muhammad commands death or the cutting off of hands and feet for fighting and corrupting the land. 4. Muhammad aggressively attacks Meccan caravans. 3. Muhammad in his Quran promises sensuous Gardens for martyrs dying in a military holy war. 2. Muhammad unjustly executes around 600 male Jews and enslaves the women and children. 1. Muhammad launches his own Crusades. Hit the link to read the back-up Posted by: Mrs. Davis 2005-03-09 |
