| Phony Miracles of the Koran |
| 2007-01-05 |
| One of a number of works by Shabana Muhammad (undoubtedly a psydonym) "...To appreciate a Quranic miracle one needs to have an unlimited imagination and a willingness to believe what is against rational thinking. If there are any miracles in the Quran then only a few people could see them. But there aren't any, and we will see why." He has an amusing piece of the Koran's view of the earth's roundness. "..The late sheikh Abdul Aziz Bin Baz was in his time the highest Islamic authority in Saudi Arabia, and to many Muslims in the whole world. Sheikh Bin Baz was a man of unquestionable knowledge in Islam and the Arabic language, and a very dedicated Muslim. As recently as 1982, he issued a fatwa that earth is flat and those Muslims who say otherwise contradict the Quranic teachings. Sheikh Bin Baz was aware that scientific discoveries point to a round earth that orbits the sun. He was a true devout Muslim who had to choose between man made scientific discoveries and the Quranic revelations. Being a dedicated Muslim Sheikh Bin Baz decided to side with Allah who never do mistakes. In 1982 scientists had no doubt about the shape of earth, but Sheikh Bin Baz, on the other hand, had no doubt about the clarity of the Quranic revelations that made him issue his fatwa with confidence. He knew how it is embarrassing for him in the scientific circles but he was willing to face the whole world because of his confidence in the Quran..." This is a wonderful site. A number of the people who post here are very capable scholars (although maybe not top notch english language writers). |

| #3 In 1975, the Woody Allen movie, "Love & Death", set in Russia, described a "Village Idiots Convention"... I think the suitase nukes aren't the only thigs that left after the breakup of the USSR in 1992... |
