Islamic Child Brides (Part 2)
In this day and age we would even consider Muhammad a confused pedophile. Muhammad's sexual appetite was legendary. Even "Sahih Al-Bukhari" says Muhammad slept with his 11 wives in one night. Muhammad is estimated by scholars to have had somewhere between 15-25 wives. All agree that he had 9 wives at the time of his death. Whether you would class Muhammad as a pedophile by today's understanding is moot. The essential feature of pedophilia is that an individual is sexually attracted exclusively or in part to prepubescent children. It can encompasses just desire, not just physical sexual activity. We don't know what Muhammad's thought in life but his actions certainly don't look good: at a minimum history attests to Muhammad's gross moral turpitude and sexual abuse. We also know that Muhammad was a heartless terrorist who tortured people by cutting off their heads (over 700 Jews in Medina alone), their hands and their feet. He also made captives die of thirst, and made people bleed to death after cutting off their limbs. Muhammad took captives attractive female slaves into his harem, and distributed the wives and children of his enemies to his followers as slaves.
Muhammad’s was sexually involved with at least 22 women. Although in the Quran he would limit his followers to having four wives, he himself took more than four wives and many concubines. The question of the number of women with whom Muhammad was sexually involved either as wives, concubines or devotees was made a point of contention by the Jews in Muhammad's day. Ali Dashti comments:
"All the commentaries agree that verse 57 of Surah 4 (on-Nesa) was sent down after the Jews criticized Mohammad's appetite for women, alleging that he had nothing to do except to take wives" (Ali Dashti, 23 Years, pp. 120-138).
Muhammad's first wife - Khadija, died a few years before he fled to Medina. Later, he was encouraged to take another wife. At the age of 49 he was betrothed to Aisha, age six in 624 A.D. Aisha was his closest friend's, Abu Bakr's, daughter. Abu Bakr was Muhammad’s daily companion and one of his first believers and successor of Muhammad. We can rightfully imagine 6 year old Aisha picking up her toys and moving to Muhammad's house, where he demurely waited until she was nine to have sexual intercourse with her.
In the first year of Muhammad's residence at Yathrib (now Medina) the "Prophet" who never prophesized, celebrated his marriage to Ayisha. Ayisha was then only a young girl (jariyah) of 9-years old per Al-Bukhari, Abu Dawud and Tabari Aisha was 9 when they Muhammad sexually consummated his marriage with her. Muhammad 52.
Aisha herself testified to these facts:
“The messenger of God betrothed me when I was six years old and then married me when I was nine years old.”
Source: Sahih Muslim (by Imam al-Mawawy), vol. 3, p. 577.
Lying with a 9 year old girl in this century or in the 7th century is abominable. It was abominable then in Arabian society also. Particularly distasteful about Muhammad, is that after Muhammad deflowered this young 9 year old girl, he also taught that his followers were to follow his "sunnah" or lifestyle. And his followers do follow the example of this warrior "prophet", who made no prophecies. In the last century, the cruel Iranian Ayatollah Khomeini married a ten-year old girl, when he was 28 years old. This "mad Ayatollah" called marriage to a prepubescent girl a "divine blessing". He is quoted to have said to fellow Muslims; "Do your best to ensure your daughters do not see their first blood in your house".
Ayatollah Khomeini told the Muslim faithful that marrying a girl before she begins menstration was a "divine blessing." He then told Muslim fathers: "Do your best to ensure that your daughters do not see their first blood in your house."
The following is the story of Safiyah Bint Huyeiy Ibn Akhtab, the Jewish woman who was captured when Muhammad’s troops attacked Kheibar and brought her to the Prophet as part of his share of the booty. This story, is reported in the Book of Tabaqat Safiyah was seventeen and very beautiful when Muslims killed her father, husband and many of her relatives. In the same day the Prophet of Allah wanted to sleep with her. Here is the exact text of the story:
She was groomed and made-up for the Prophet by Umm Sulaim, the mother of Anas ibn Malik. They spent the night there. Abu Ayyub al-Ansari guarded the tent of the Prophet the whole night. When, in the early dawn, the Prophet saw Abu Ayyub strolling up and down, he asked him what he meant by this sentry-go; he replied: "I was afraid for you with this young lady. You had killed her father, her husband and many of her relatives, and till recently she was an unbeliever. I was really afraid for you on her account". The Prophet prayed for Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (Ibn Hisham, p. 766) Safiyah had requested the Prophet to wait till he had gone a stage away from Khaibar. "Why?" asked the Prophet. "I was afraid for you on account of the Jews who still happened to be near at Khaibar!"
The reason Safiyah rejected the sexual advances of the 57-year-old Muhammad should be obvious to any objective person. I believe most women prefer to mourn than jump into bed with the killer of their father, husband and many relatives on the same day of their death. But the fact that the prophet of Allah could not contain his sexual urges for one day to let this young girl grieve, says a lot of his thinking and moral character.
“The next day a Walima (we dding-feast) was arranged on behalf of the Prophet…
Note that the historian is saying that the wedding took place one day after the prophet got private with Safiyah and made his moves to have sex with her. This presented no problem for the Muhammad as he had his Allah reveal a verse personally agreeable to himself saying it is okay to sleep with women captured in war without marrying them even if they are married.
“And all married women (are forbidden unto you) save those (captives) whom your right hands possess…” (Qur'an 4:24 )
Non-consent forced Marriages in Islam:
What a disgraceful and degrading thing a temporary, contractual marriage is for a woman! This is something which Muhammad made lawful according to all the scholars and chroniclers without exception. What an insult to a woman whom Muhammad stripped of her humanity and dignity in order to become a mere instrument for man’s enjoyment!
Islamic law has codified this principle of non-consent for under-age women based on Muhammad’s precedent:
“A father may give consent to have his young virgin daughter married without obtaining her permission, for she does not have a choice, exactly as Abu Bakr El Sadiq did to his daughter Aisha, when she was six years old. He married her to the prophet Muhammad without her permission.”
According to all Muslim scholars (especially in Sahih Muslim) the temporary, contractual marriage was made lawful by Muhammad simply to satisfy the sexual passions of his soldiers. The “marriage” only had to last 3 days, after which the woman could be deserted and left without any rights. Only the fact that it is temporary a “marriage” separates it from outright fornication and adultery (forbidden in Islam), but there is practically no difference. It was practiced during the beginning of the Islamic era (during the caliphates of Abu Bakr and Ibn Abu ‘Umar) and is continued in practice today by over 100 million Shi’ite Muslims worldwide.
Concerning this practice the following Islamic authority states:
“While in the army, Allah’s Apostle came to us and said, ‘You have been allowed to have Muta (“pleasure”), so do it.’ If a man and a woman agree to marry temporarily, their marriage should last for three nights …”
Source: Sahih al-Bukbari, part 7, p. 37.

Lessons in Islam (Part 1)
The Qur’an talks only about scourging and exiling the adulterer, yet Muhammad himself stoned some adulterers. Thus, stoning the married adulterer (male or female) and not flogging them, has become Islamic law. The reason for that is that Muhammad said and did so.
Under Iran's brutal Islamic Sharia Laws, women usually get stoned for crimes against chastity. While men who even murder someone in a fit of rage in these cases, usually get only a few years in jail.
Under Iran's strict Sharia law, women sentenced to execution by stoning have their hands bound behind their back. They are wrapped from head to toe in sheets before being seated in a pit. The ditch is filled up to their breasts with dirt, and the soil is packed tightly before people assemble to execute the woman by pitching rocks at her head and upper body.
Article 104 of the Iranian Penal Code states that the stones used for execution should "not be large enough to kill the person by one or two strikes, nor should they be so small that they could not be defined as stones."
Ironically, the court sentenced the woman's brother Abu Bakr Ghorbany and husband Mohammad Daneshfar to only six years in jail for killing her lover. According to Sharia law, murder carries a lesser penalty than "crimes against chastity."
Benevolence and Forgiveness?
One time a woman was brought to Muhammad who had committed adultery. They asked him, "What shall we do with her? Muhammad said, "Go away. Bring her back after the baby is born." So they brought her back after the baby was born, and Muhammad said, "Let her go and nurse the child. Bring her back when the child is two years old." So they brought her back, and Muhammad said, "Take the baby from her and kill her." And that is what they did.

America in crisis (The decline of the American Dream)
Most of my friends are going to think I am crazy for taking on this topic. But anyway.
What I have seen out of St Louis is nothing short of an American disgrace. A young man loosing his life is tragic enough, but the way people have responded to this event has been nothing short of third world in likeness. You have groups up there that are doing for themselves and trying to benefit from all of tragic events. We are a nation of laws and what has become so disconcerting is the fact that some people think they do not have to follow those laws or some should have the ability to go around them. This case should be tried in a court not on TV and damn sure not from enraged citizens. If this were the case people would resort back to western days and send out a posse and hang the man before any trial is conveyed. Thank God we have grown since that time. Or have we? All we want now days is fast as hell justice against white on black shootings and not so much on Black on Black shootings. Is that because black on black shootings are not so relevant? Or is there just more to gain from a white on black shooting. Lets see they are both human beings separated by only color. But if you were to hear and intellectual talk about it, they would seem to find every little thing they can pick out of it and rummage through it like a rat, just so they can find some asinine talking point they can later become famous with.
As I have set here and watched the coverage of this I have come to the conclusion that there is an agenda here for the media. Mostly just to keep it stirred up long enough to attain ratings. The story is just over a week old and the media has already adjudicated it for the American people. These conclusions have been racism, police brutality, authoritarian system and so fourth. But the one thing that has not come up is the responsibility for the damage they have cause their own neighborhood. Why are they not asking (why are they destroying their own businesses and property?) Answer by the media. "because they are angry and it is everyone in America's fault for the oppression they have went through," "before my time" and it is America's responsibility to keep feeling guilty for something they had nothing to do with 160 years ago. In other words WHITE GUILT. That gives people the right to use that excuse (Racism) as cover for total destruction.
I have very good friends that are people of color, all are hard working and very well educated and did not all come from rich homes and good neighborhoods. And yet they have offered no excuse for the people that have exploited the destruction that has gone on. They have asked the same questions I have and that is "Why?" why not let the law of the land reign in the problem and let a Jury of his Peers Judge him like the community standards dictate.
I have seen all manner of excuses used here except for the correct one. The families wishes have not been held, people have went out in this young mans name and destroyed a town and a community. All of them should be ashamed of themselves for this. But that will not happen because the excuses they have used they have used for so long that people have become accustom to hearing them. Even the President still uses the excuse of color for the destruction of their communities. From what I have read from Dr Martin Luther King is he would have been disappointed in what his struggle has become. And that it had been bastardized by self serving people that look out only for themselves.
Judge a Man not by the color of his skin but by the content of his character. Dr King.
The decline of the inter cities can be attributed to the lack of passion of the community to better themselves instead of using the blame and guilt tactic. Instead of walking around with your pants to your knees and yelling HO and Bitch and saying we do that because that is our culture. That just goes to show your own ignorance about African Heritage. The cradle of civilization was not founded by people yelling such things and generally walking around making an ass of themselves. Whites are just as guilty of this as anyone else. This will never end until we put the past behind us and we grow up and realize we are all human beings and we are responsible for what we want out of life. I have lived in countries where the people there have no choice in the matter. So pull up your big boy and girl pants and take some responsibility for your action and instead of making the problem worse, make it better.

A Life Changing Experience. Update.
A Life Changing Experience.
In 2010 me and my wife Ashley decided to make a change in the way we lived and see how it would affect us over he next couple of years. So the first thing we did was sell the house. First off it was too big for the two of us in the first place, so downsizing was appropriate. So we went out and bought a class C (RV) and right off the bat we knew that was too small. So we traded it for a 32 ft Pilgrim Travel Trailer. Remodeled from front to back to fit our lives and business. Total cost for the change 15.000. So we started out with everything paid for and wanted to see what would happen next. So we traveled for about 6 months and stayed at several different places in Missouri and Tennessee and Mississippi, and so fourth. We decided to settle in one area in January 2011. We decided to work camp for a park owner in Alabama. (That is where you work a day or two a week and your stay is free) There is a big call for work campers today, and I was surprised how many parks in the states use them and where some of them are at. But it is an amazing experience. Now getting back to the story. We have stayed here sense January 2011, just to see how much money we will save over the next 3 years.
In 2010 the House payment was $1400.00 a month, Utilities were $450.00 a month. Pool Maintenance was $300.00 a month. Yard maintained was $350.00 a month. So the total per month was:$2500.00 a month. So in 36 months we have saved $90.000 over three years. That is just in payments. We went back into the account for this and realized we have saved well over $100.000 in three years, and we are tickled to death. We have use half the electricity and half the amount of water and we could not be more surprised at how this has turned out. After talking to my wife we have decided to stay the course, we could not be happier and could not be any closer than we are now. When you have nothing to worry about and you live a simple life you can wake up every day and do what you want, but most of all spend the time with the person you love and cherish in life, there is no better feeling. So I think we will continue this experiment and just enjoy the time we have with each other, and the stress free life we have come to love.
Robert and Ashley Moore
Update: Me and Ashley have continued to live this lifestyle and have enjoyed it even more than I could ever had anticipated it. We have went to a little bigger Rv a 32ft 5th wheel (More room for my work computers and mainly just a tad bit living and comfort room) We have traveled to some very beautiful places and meet some wonderful people. And some of these people are from all over the world and now have become very good friends with us. We love the simplicity of the whole life style and most of all we leave a very small footprint on our planet with electric costs of around 60 a month and the stress free days in which we start with a smile and no concerns about anything. Who knew that simplifying your life would be so much fun. Not to mention the nice amount of money you can save over the years not paying for all those high utility cost and house insurance and don't forget the large house payment. When we get ready to retire we will have acquired enough money to pay cash for our house and still have a very nice nest egg to live on. But I think instead of a house we will invest in a nice large Allegro Bus and continue to travel around and visit the beauty of this wonderful country and continue to meet people. I have found Joy in Life in the little things and me and my beautiful wife Ashley could not be more happy. This experiment has turned out to be the best Idea we have ever come up with. As one of my friends once told me (Ms Terri Maxwell) Life is good:)

The Islamic Koran and the cruelty toward Women #17
The Islamic Qur'an itself is responsible for cruelty toward Muslim women, both young and old. In short, this evil book likens a woman to a field (or a tilth). This "field" is to be used by a Muslim man as he sees fit. This "model" was set forth by Muhammad himself, and what he said and how he treated women. If a woman does not consent to make love, civil law of western countries consider this as rape, plain and simple. However the Quran does not ask women. It takes into account only the will of the husband.
The Quran in Surah (Chapter) 2:223 says:
Your women are your fields, so go into your fields whichever way you like . . . . (MAS Abdel Haleem, The Qur’an, Oxford UP, 2004)
Christians believe their lives should be modeled after that of the Lord Jesus who spent time teaching women, which broke with the customs of his day (Luke 10:38-42). His respect was demonstrated even toward sinful women who turned to him for compassion (Luke 7:36-39). Jesus, the true prince of peace, crossed racial and cultural barriers to reveal his true identity to a Samaritan woman (John 4:1-42). Jesus healed a woman on the Sabbath and Jesus He freed the woman caught in adultery from being stoned. And, after his resurrection, Jesus honored the female disciples by appearing to them first (Matthew 28:8-10).
Aisha, the most beloved of Muhammad's many wives said to Muslim women: "O womenfolk, if you knew the rights that your husbands have over you, every one of you would wipe the dust from her husband's feet with her face."
This satanically-inspired Islamic religion has also managed to enslave women, which the true God would never be part of. If the husband wants to have sex with his wife he can, even by force - which in the west, and in Christian and Jewish tradition, is considered cruelty and rape. Under Egyptian law, Muslims are not allowed to change their religious identities to any other faith, although Christians are free to convert officially to Islam.
The Koran (Qur'an) is the biggest enemy of civilization, liberty and truth that the world has ever known. Inherent in the Qur'an are polygamy, divorce, slavery, elevation of jihad as a sure way to heaven, hatred of non-believers, and even lying if it is gainful.
Cruel Muslim mullahs, imams and ayatollah's insist a woman must wear a veil as a way to remove the female sex from its just position and influence in the world--itself a form of slavery. You may think this to be a small issue. You wouldn't if you were a woman and had to bundle up in 110 degree weather every day, just because of extreme male chauvinism. This comes from Muslim interpretation of the way Muhammad treated his own wives to apply to all women.
O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies. Surah 33:59, The Noble Quran
And speaking of seeing a woman's face:
It is no sin before their fathers, or their sons, or their brothers, or their brother's sons, or the sons of their sisters, or their women, or their (female) slaves. Surah 33:55, The Noble Quran

| Jesus is God (John 1, Col. 1) and here. Jesus forgave sins and dispelled demons in His own name. He said "I and the Father are one". | Muhammad admitted he is only a man (Surah 18:110) |
| Jesus raised Himself from the dead (Matthew 28:6)and rose into heaven in front of many witnesses. | Muhammad remains dead |
| His Birth, Life, Death, Resurrection was foretold bynumerous prophets. See here Proverbs 30:4 (written 700 B.C./1300 yrs before Muhammad): "...What is His name, and what is His son's name, if thou canst tell?" | Nothing predicted about Muhammad. The "Comforter" was the Holy Spirit Jesus promised the apostles. |
| Jesus lived a sinless life (2 Corinthians 5:21). | Allah himself refers to Muhammad as sinful (Surah 40:55, 48:1-2). |
| Jesus did numerous miracles to prove His divinity, including raising the dead and command over nature (All Gospel writers and Josephus). While teaching his apostles Jesus said; "Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves" (John 14:11 and Matthew 9:2-7) | On two occasions in the Qur'an Muhammad admitted he could do no miracles to show any sort of divinity or divine calling (Surah 17:90-95; 3:183, also see: 29:50-51) |
| Jesus cared for His enemies (Matthew 5:43-44).Jesus promised to save those who believe and trust in Him. | Killed his enemies and anyone who disagreed with him (Surah 9:5) |
| Held a high view of marriage and hated divorce - as God the Father does (Matthew 19:7-8). | Muhammad ccommanded his adopted son to divorce his wife so that she would become his (Surah 33:36-38) |
| Accurately prophesied many verifiable events that took place after His time (Matthew 24). | Delivered only one -questionable-guess/prophecy about the Romans winning a future battle. No date or place given. (Surah 30:1-4) |
| Jesus gave his disciples authority to drive out evil spirits and to heal every disease and sickness (Matthew 10:1; Mark 6:12-13) | Muhammad gave his followers the authority to wage war on unbelievers.Muhammad is Allah's apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to unbelievers. (Surah 48:29) |
Jesus told his disciples not to ask for money, and not to carry money with them. (Matthew 10:8-9, Luke 10:7) | Muhammad instructed his followers on how to divide booty they seized from unbelievers. He insisted on 20% for himself. |
Jesus said to his followers that if anyone will not welcome you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town. (Matthew 10:14-15, 23) | Muhammad ordered Muslims to attack any city that rejected Islam. |
Jesus told his followers to get ready, because unbelievers would flog them, arrest them, and put them on trial (Matthew 10:16-19) | Muhammad told his followers to fight (militarily) hard against unbelievers. "Kill the Mushrikun (unbelievers) wherever you find them, and capture them and besiege them, and lie in wait for them in each and every ambush..." Surah 9:5. Also see Surah 9:29. |
Jesus washed his disciples' feet.He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself. After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded. John 13:4-5, 12-17 | One day after battle, Muhammad came back home and said to his daughter Fatima, "Wash the blood from this sword and I swear in the name of Allah this sword was obeying me all the time." Muhammad then took the swords of his friend Ali ibn Abu Talib and washed them for him. |
Jesus never took up a sword or encouraged anyone else to do so. Once a close follower took it upon himself to take up a sword. Jesus soundly reprimanded him. Jesus warned; "all who take the sword will perish by the sword" (Matthew 26:52) | According to Muslim scholar Pickthal, "the number of campaigns (military) he (Muhammad) led in person during the last ten years of his life is twenty-seven, in nine of which there was hard fighting. The number of expeditions which he planned and sent out under other leaders is thirty-eight" (n.d., pg. xxvi) |
| Jesus said: "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? (Matthew 5:44-46) | Surah 9:29: PICKTHAL: "Fight against such of those who have been given the Scripture (Christians & Jews) as believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, and forbid not that which Allah hath forbidden by His messenger, and follow not the Religion of Truth, until they pay the tribute readily, being brought low." |
Jesus's last message to his followers about himself and his mission:Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. Luke 24:46-47 | Muhammad's last speech to his followers on Mt Arafat:....."I descended by Allah with the sword in my hand, and my wealth will come from the shadow of my sword. And the one who will disagree with me will be humiliated and persecuted." Reference: Ibn Hisham (828 A.D., "The Life of Muhammad", 3rd ed., pt. 6, vol. 3 (Beirut, Lebanon: Dar-al-Jil, 1998), p. 8 |

Muhammad dies June 8, 632 A.D. in Medina
In the third month of the eleventh year of Hijra, Muhammad fell sick and layed in the house of his wife Ayisha in Medina. The recent death of his infant son, Ibrahim weighed his spirits down, and the poison he had consumed at Khaibar still bothered him. A short time after returning from Medina there were signs of serious illness in him, and his mind became somewhat unhinged by fever. During this time his faithful servant Abu Muwaihibah says that during a fit late at night he accompanied Muhammad to the cemetery called El-Bahia, where Muhammad asked forgiveness of the dead who were buried there.
While dying, Muhammad said; "I have been sent with the shortest expressions bearing the widest meanings, and I have been made victorious with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy), and while I was sleeping, the keys of the treasures of the world were brought to me and put in my hand". Reference: Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 56, Number 2977
A little after midday of 8 June, 632, the 62 year old Muhammad stretched himself gently and was no more. Later in the night his followers dug his grave on the same spot where he breathed his last. They spread his red mantle on the bottom of the grave, and his body was lowered into it. The grave was made level with the floor, and brickwork was added. Muhammad's tomb is now close to the mosque of Medina. Six mosques have stood on the same site as the present one.
The so-called "Prophet of Peace" who the Qur'an (Koran) commanded to fight 26 battles, and who planned no less than 86 expeditions against innocent people (only the battle of the Ditch was defensive) was no more. He gave no prophecies and performed no miracles. Within a century after Muhammad's death, Muslim armies had reached as far as India in the east and Spain in the west. They gave two choices to the people they encountered; either convert to Islam or die.
“THE BLOODIEST STORY IN HISTORY”
Will Durant in his The Story of Civilisations, describes the Muslim invasion of India as “probably the bloodiest story in history.” The North Western region of India is called the Hindu Kush (“the slaughter of the Hindu”) as a reminder of the vast number of Hindu slaves who died while being marched across the Afghan Mountains to the Muslim slave markets in Central Asia. The Buddhists were also targeted for destruction. In AD 1193 Muhammad Khilji burned to the ground their famous library and the Buddhist stronghold of Bihar.
And History is now repeating itself.

Muhammad & Allah Fickle? #15
Muhammad & Allah Fickle?
Hoping to garner Jewish support for those military campaigns, Muhammad had yet another vision that his Allah wanted Muslims to do their praying (salla or sallatun) facing (Qibla) the then Christian city of Jerusalem.
Muhammad stopped this practice when he realized there was no hope that the Jews would join Islam. Henceforth Muhammad and his Allah stopped the practice of facing Jerusalem and ordered all prayers to henceforth be said while facing in the direction of Mecca. Yusuf Ali points out in footnote 141, commenting on Surah 2:142, Muhammad chose Jerusalem for this purpose, but later on, when they proved stubborn in rejecting his apostleship, he came up with a complete change in the direction of prayer; that is, towards Mecca rather than Jerusalem.
In Surah 2:106 the Qur'an teaches, "And for whatever verse We abrogate or cast into oblivion, We bring a better or the like of it; knowest thou not that God is powerful over everything?" But didn't Allah say in Surah 10:65, "There is no changing in the Words of Allah," after this abrogation clause?
Apparently then, the Qur'an teaches that some verses that Allah has brought down have been abrogated - that is, they are no longer binding or applicable. Apparently, Allah changed his mind about some of the verses he gave through his prophet. In this Allah is different to the God of the Bible, "with whom there is no shadow of turning" (James 1:17), who is "the Lord, who changeth not" (Malachi 3:6), whose Word "endureth forever". The real God has infinite wisdom and cannot contradict Himself.
The Islamic Doctrine of Abrogation - is a Contradiction in the extreme. It basically says -on one hand Allah is firm and unchanging in what he says - but on the other hand if it helps Muhammad's cause or Muhammad's life style, Allah will change his words to suit Muhammad. This is a doctrine which is spurned by many Muslims who believe it reflects most unfavorably on the supposed textual perfection of the Qur'an. The uninspired Muhammad sometimes forgot his own revelations, and had to do a "tap dance" and quickly issue new "revelations" that excused and justified himself. See Surahs 2:106 above, and also 87:6-7, and 6:68
The fact is that there are 225 verses in the Muslim Qur'an, which are cancelled out by later ones
The biggest contradiction in the Qur'an (Koran) is that it says the Qur'an can be contradicted at any time. God can change his mind, and change verses in the Qur'an, with or without telling Muslims. This principle is called the "Doctrine of Abrogation."
The doctrine arose from a practical dilemma. Muhammad wanted to marry his daughter in law, but he had already "revealed" the suras that prohibit Muslims from marrying their daughters in law. Muhammad's solution was the doctrine of abrogation - the idea that Allah, through Muhammad, can change his mind about anything at anytime and Muslims have to shut up and obey:
Furthermore, this Muslim doctrine of abrogation extends so far as to dismiss all previous revelation, given in the Jewish-Christian Bibles. Thus Muslims see no problem in that the Qur'an has re-written biblical history with stories and historical accounts that contradict the Bible. To deal with the contradiction between the Bible and the Qur'an, Muslims throughout history have claimed that the Jews and Christians have corrupted their Bible so that the original Bible no longer exists. No matter what evidence for the truth and reliability of the Bible and Torah is provided, Muslims refuse to face the possibility of the truth of the present Bible as we know it.
As related in Zamakh-shari, part I, p. 303 - Muhammad very frequently stated something to his followers with the claim that it was revealed to him through the angel Gabriel. Just as frequent though, Muhammad would tell them that God had changed his mind and invalidated it. Thus the infidels used to say, "Muhammad utters something today and abolishes it tomorrow" (refer to ).
In Asbab al-Nuzul, p. 19, the Suyuti says that,
"Ibn ’Abbas himself said, ‘Sometimes the revelation used to descend on the prophet during the night and then he forgot it during daytime, thus God sent down this verse: 2:106." ( that says, "Whatever communications We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, We bring one better than it or like it.")
Is it acceptable or sensible to think that God changes His mind during the night? Ibn ’Abbas is not the only one who insists on that because ibn ’Umar says,
"Two men read a Surah which the apostle of God had taught them, yet one night they rose up to pray but they failed to remember one word of it. The next morning, they went to the apostle of God and related it to him. He told them, ‘It is one of those, which have been abrogated, thus, forget about it.."’ (Refer to the Itqan, 3:74).
There is no changing the words of God;
that is the mighty triumph.
-- Surah 10:64
And recite what has been revealed to you of the Book of your Lord,
there is none who can alter His words;
and you shall not find any refuge besides Him.
-- Surah 18:27
Compare the above with these:
Whatever communications We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, We bring one better than it or like it. Do you not know that Allah has power over all things?
-- Surah 2:106
When Muhammad was accused by his opponents of giving contradictory statements in the Qur’an, as a result, he is said to have received the following revelation that Allah replaced some of the text of the Qur’an with a later text:
And when We exchange a verse in place of another verse --
and God knows very well what He is sending down --
they say, 'Thou art a mere forger!'
Nay, but the most of them have no knowledge.
-- Surah 16:101

Muhammad received the initial Qur'an in a Cave: #14
Muhammad received the initial Qur'an in a Cave:
Muhammad claimed the angel Gabriel transmitted the entire Koran to him from Allah while he was living in the Hira Cave. At first Muhammad feared he had been overtaken by a "Jinn", a troubling spirit (see picture below). But Muhammad's wife Khadijah encouraged him that his visions were indeed from God and that he had been chosen as his special messenger. Amr ibn Sharhabil says Muhammad mentioned to his wife Khadijah that he feared he was possessed by demons and wondered whether others might consider him possessed by jinn (Pfander 1910:345). He says Muhammad said; “ When I went into seclusion I heard a voice. By Allah I feared that something wrong was going to happen.” Also revealing is the report by Al Waqidi that Muhammad had such an aversion to the form of the cross that he would break everything brought into the house with a shape of the cross on it (Nehls 1990:61).
When Muhammad began to preach his new religion in 610 A.D. the leaders of Mecca were strongly opposed. In 622 A.D. Muhammad was approached by the elders from a town located some 250 miles north of Mecca who asked Muhammad to be their ruler. Muhammad accepted on the conditions that they would also accept him as a prophet and that he could bring his followers. The exodus to this town, later known as Medina is known by Muslims as the "hijra". The Meccans attacked the Medinans several times, but the Medinans always managed to drive them off. In 627 A.D. the Meccans were defeated by Muhammad's forces, and the Muslims returned to Mecca and cleansed the "kaba" of all its idols. Muhammad continued to rule Medina, where he died in 632 A.D.
Muslims should be reminded of Muhammad's own humanity, fickleness and unworthiness. Muhammad was extremely close to Jews in the beginning of his campaigns of rape, plunder, and murder. In those days, Muhammad realized he could only capture Mecca and Medina with Jewish help.

Would a true and righteous God do this? #13
Muhammad is infatuated with adopted son's wife. Takes her for himself.
According to the Qur'an (Koran):
Muhammad adopted Zaid (aka: Zayd) because Muhammad had no sons. Zaid married a stunningly beautiful woman named Zainab (aka: Zaynab). Once when Muhammad was visiting Zaid's home he accidentally saw Zaibab in scanty attire. Muhammad was overcome with lust. In the Koran we are told that it was Allah who caused Muhammad's heart to desire Zainab. And that it was Allah's Will for Zaid to divorce his wife so that Muhammad could marry her. Muhammad married Zainab in June 626 A.D. This Allah therefore desires lust and coveting a "neighbor's" wife. Naturally, his followers began to murmur about their pious prophet acting this way. So, lo and behold yet another Surah was miraculously given some months after the fact from Allah that absolved Muhammad personally (Surah 33:37).
There are three obstacles to Zaid's proposal to relinquish his wife to Muhammad. (1) The Islamic stance regarding the evil of divorce; (2) The Quranic limitation of four wives per man; and (3) the strong social principle that no distinction should be made between adopted sons and sons by birth. After Muhammad took Zaid's wife he did a quick razzle-dazzle to cover his tracks. He conveniently received another revelation (Surah 33:4-5, 40) that said; henceforth adopted sons should retain the name of their natural fathers and that Muhammad had no blood tie to Zaid. Muhammad promptly changed Zaid's name from Zaid ibn Muhammad, back to Zaid ibn Harithah. (The Quran Unveiled, pg 20)
Surah 33:37-38 (Noble Qur'an) Behold! Thou didst say to one who had received the grace of Allah and thy favour: "Retain thou (in wedlock) thy wife, and fear Allah." But thou didst hide in thy heart that which Allah was about to make manifest: thou didst fear the people, but it is more fitting that thou shouldst fear Allah. Then when Zaid had dissolved (his marriage) with her, with the necessary (formality), We joined her in marriage to thee: in order that (in future) there may be no difficulty to the Believers in (the matter of) marriage with the wives of their adopted sons, when the latter have dissolved with the necessary (formality) (their marriage) with them. And Allah's command must be fulfilled. There can be no difficulty to the Prophet in what Allah has indicated to him as a duty. It was the practice (approved) of Allah amongst those of old that have passed away. And the command of Allah is a decree determined.
Or, was it more of Muhammad's scheming, and making up the rules to get his own way with this beautiful woman? We note elsewhere where Muhammad laid with a 9 year old girl (Ayisha) when Muhammad was in his 50's, and also a beautiful 17 year old Jewish girl (Safiyah) - one day after Muhammad had her family massacred. Although Muhammad fixed the legal number of wives as 4 for his followers, Muhammad let it be known that Allah gave Muhammad himself the special privilege of any number of wives. Muhammad again miraculously received a Surah giving himself the privilege of cohabitating with his female slaves.
In the Jewish-Christian Bible Jewish Kings were chastised, disciplined and ostracized by the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob for this sort of coveting behavior that the Islamic Allah applauds. This behavior issue is another reason that Allah is not the One and true God. Wouldn't one expect the true Lord to insist on good Christian behavior? The true just God of the Bible simply would not give Muhammad special dispensation over others. Would a just God exempt one man (Muhammad) from the law. All the while expecting other men to keep it? The Prophets of God were never given the right to sidestep God's laws. Remember, this was supposedly a divinely directed law, Muhammad was under obligation to obey. Jesus said; "Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery." (Matthew 19:9)
Does Allah desire you live in Paradise? Or, your torment in Hell?
how can Muslims miss what Allah really has in store for them?
Whereas, Yahweh (I Am) has provided eternal salvation and life to those who believe in Jesus (Isa); because Jehovah's wrath has already been poured out on Jesus, for the sins of those who trust and believe in Jesus...
Consider what Allah really desires: The Islamic Qur'an says that Allah desires to lead people astray (Surah 6:39 , 126). He does not help those who are led astray by him (Surah 30:29) and desires to use them to populate hell (Surah 32:13).

Other notable errors in the Qur'an: #12
Other notable errors in the Qur'an:
Flip Flops: The origin of calamity? Is the evil in our life from Satan [Surah 38:41]; Ourselves [Surah 4:79]; or Allah [Surah 4:78]? Can slander of chaste women be forgiven? Yes [Surah 24:5], No [Surah 24:23].
Abrogation? "The words of the Lord are perfect in truth and justice; there is NONE who can change His words" (Surah 6:115). Also see Suras 6:34, 10:64, and 50:28,29. But then Allah (or Muhammad?) sees the need to exchange some of them for "better ones" (Suras 2:106, 16:101). And it is not for ignorant people to question Allah because of such practices! Let us Reason. How can a divine revelation be improved upon? If divine, would it not have been perfect from the start?
Suras 6:34, 6:115, 10:64 and 50:28,29 clearly says to Muslims, "No change can there be in the words of Allah" and that Allah cannot alter (or abrogate) his words." So the Torah and Christian Gospels are correct, because Allah did verify this fact -- this clearly makes the Muslim Qur'an is false; because it contradicts Allah.
- Consider the change of amount of days creation took, first from 6 days (Suras 7:54, 10:3, 11:7, and 25:59) and then it gets changed to 8 days (Suras 41:9-12). Is someone not playing with a full deck?
- Allah can have a son. (Surah 39:4). Allah can't have a son. (Surah 6:101, and 25:2).
- All angels obey Allah. (Surah 16:49-50). Not all angels obey Allah. (Surah 2:34)
- In Surah 19:19-22, the human Mary was told she would have an "immaculate conception," or be impregnated by Allah. Yet, Surah 6:100-101 denies that Allah could have a son or daughter through mortals.
- Face Mecca while praying. (Surah 2:144). Face Jerusalem while praying. Originally Muhammad instructed Muslims to face Jerusalem when praying; probably because Solomon established the practice of praying while facing Jerusalem (1 Kings 8:29, 30, 44; 2 Chronicles 6:21; Daniel 6:10). Apparently, Muhammad believed at first that God wanted him to pray facing Jerusalem and he did so for nearly 16-17 months - at least while he thought the he could convert the Jews to his religion. However, later, when the Jews rebuffed him Muhammad preferred to pray towards the Ka'ba in Mecca which, during this point in time, contained 360 idols.
Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 8, Number 392:
Narrated Bara' bin 'Azib:
Allah's Apostle prayed facing Baitul-Maqdis for sixteen or seventeen months but he loved to face the Ka'ba (at Mecca) so Allah revealed: "Verily, We have seen the turning of your face to the heaven!" (2:144) So the Prophet faced the Ka'ba and the fools amongst the people namely "the Jews" said, "What has turned them from their Qibla (Bait-ul-Maqdis) which they formerly observed"" (Allah revealed): "Say: 'To Allah belongs the East and the West. He guides whom he will to a straight path'." (2:142) A man prayed with the Prophet (facing the Ka'ba) and went out. He saw some of the Ansar praying the 'Asr prayer with their faces towards Bait-ul-Maqdis, he said, "I bear witness that I prayed with Allah's Apostle facing the Ka'ba." So all the people turned their faces towards the Ka'ba.
- Is Jesus a Prophet or not? Will Jesus burn in hell? In Surah 4:158 Jesus is raised to Allah, and in Surah 3:45 Jesus is stationed near Allah. Jesus is worshiped by billions of Christians. Yet Surah 21:98 says, that all that are worshiped by men besides Allah will burn in Hell together with those who worship them. Or, is Jesus Allah, the same substance with the Father?
- Did Jesus Die or Not? Surah 3:144 is quite adamant that all messengers died before Muhammad. But then Surah 4:158 claims that Jesus was raised to God (alive?) and 4:157 falsely says Jesus did not die.
- In Surah 4:157 we read that Jesus certainly did not die, yet in Surah 19:33 we read that not only did he die, but he arose again! 19:33 reads about Jesus: "And peace be upon me the day I was born, the day I die, and the day I get resurrected."
- What is the punishment for adultery? Surah 24:2 -Flogging with a 100 stripes (men and women); Surah 4:15 -"confine them to houses until death do claim them (lifelong house arrest - for the women); Surah 4:16 - For men: "If they repent and amend, leave them alone". Surah 24:2 contradicts both the procedure for women and men in Surah 4:15. And why is the punishment for women and men equal in Surah 24.2 but different in Surah 4:15?
- In Surah 19:67, "But does not man call to mind that We created him before out of nothing?." In Surah 15:26, man is created from clay (We created man from sounding clay, from mud molded into shape;)." Since clay is something, we have a contradiction since "nothing" excludes the possibility of "clay."
- The Koran is a divine revelation with no errors. Hmm! "This Qur'an is not such as can be produced by other than Allah; on the contrary, it is a confirmation of (revelations) that went before it, and a fuller explanation of the Book - wherein there is no doubt - from the Lord of the worlds" Surah 1:37; and "The revelation of the Book is from Allah, the Exalted in Power, Full of Wisdom" Surah 45:2 . But then look at this. "Never have We sent a prophet or apostle to you with whose wishes Satan did not tamper. But Allah abrogates the interjections of Satan and confirms His own revelations." Surah 22:52
Flip Flops: The origin of calamity? Is the evil in our life from Satan [Surah 38:41]; Ourselves [Surah 4:79]; or Allah [Surah 4:78]? Can slander of chaste women be forgiven? Yes [Surah 24:5], No [Surah 24:23].
Abrogation? "The words of the Lord are perfect in truth and justice; there is NONE who can change His words" (Surah 6:115). Also see Suras 6:34, 10:64, and 50:28,29.

Just a Thought: Didn't Allah have a Basic Education? #11
Just a Thought: Didn't Allah have a Basic Education? #11: Didn't Allah have a Basic Education? - It just doesn't add up: Surah 4:11-12 and 4:176 state the Qur'anic inheritance law. Whe...
Didn't Allah have a Basic Education? #11
Didn't Allah have a Basic Education?
- It just doesn't add up: Surah 4:11-12 and 4:176 state the Qur'anic inheritance law. When a man dies, and is leaving behind three daughters, his two parents and his wife, they will receive the respective shares of 2/3 for the 3 daughters together, 1/3 for the parents together [both according to verse 4:11] and 1/8 for the wife [4:12] which adds up to more than the available estate. A second example: A man leaves only his mother, his wife and two sisters, then they receive 1/3 [mother, 4:11], 1/4 [wife, 4:12] and 2/3 [the two sisters, 4:176], which again adds up to 15/12 of the available property.
- In Suras 6:14, 6:163 and 39:12 we are told that Muhammad (born 570 years after Jesus) was the first to bow down to Allah; making him the first Muslim. But wait, yet earlier in Qur'an passages weren't we already told in the Qur'an that Abraham, his sons and Jacob were former Muslims (Surah 2:132), and that all the earlier prophets (Surah 28:52-53), and Jesus' Jewish disciples (Surah 3:52) were also Allah believing Muslims?.
- Does Allah's day equal to 1,000 human years (Surah 22:47, 32:5) or 50,000 human years (Surah 70:4)? "Verily a Day in the sight of thy Lord is like a thousand years of your reckoning." Surah 22:47; "The angels and the spirit ascend unto him in the Day the measure whereof is (as) fifty thousand years." Surah 70:4
- Heaven and Earth created? Surah 2:29 says first earth and then heaven was created. But wait, Suras 79:27-30 indicate, first heaven was created, and after that earth?.
- To Intercede or Not To Intercede? The Qur'an makes contradictory statements about whether on the Day of Judgment intercession will be possible. No: in Suras: 2:122-123, 254; 6:51; 82:18-19; etc. Yes: in Suras: 20:109; 34:23; 43:86; 53:26; etc. Typically, with Qur'an errors; each position can be further supported/abrogated by a later Hadith.
- Does Allah forgive shirk? Shirk can encompass any object that a person may hold in regard higher than Allah. It is the most severe of sins and will not be forgiven. But the author of the Qur'an seems unable to decide if Allah will ever forgive it or not. No in Suras 4:48 and 4:116; and Yes in Suras 4:153, 25:68-71. Another contradiction: According to lies in Surah 6:76-78 Abraham committed this sin of polytheism as he takes moon, sun, stars to be his Lord. Yet Muslims believe that all prophets are without any sin!
- In Surah 96:1-2 we read that God made man from a blood clot. But in Surah 21:30 it says man was made from water. And Surah 15:26 says man was made from clay.
- According to Surah 10:90-92, Pharaoh believed "in the sight of death" and was saved. But Surah 4:18 says that such a thing can't happen because Pharaoh did not also repent.
- Will Christians enter Paradise or go to Hell? Suras 2:62 and 5:69 say "Yes" to Paradise. Surah 5:72 (3 verses later) and Surah 3:85 say "No" to Paradise.
- In Surah 2:234 widows are to keep themselves apart for 4 months and 10 days after their husband's death. In Surah 2:240 it is one year.
- Allah, the god revealed in the Quran, is not a loving father. It says that he desires to lead people astray (Surah 6:39, 125-126)
- YES: Believers, Jews, Sabaeans and Christians - whoever believes in God and the Last Day and does what is right - shall have nothing to fear or regret. Surah 5:69
- NO: Unbelievers are those that say: "God is the Messiah, the son of Mary." For the Messiah himself said: "Children of Israel, serve God, my Lord and your Lord." He that worships other gods besides God, God will deny him Paradise, and the fire shall be his home. None shall help the evil-doers. Surah 5:72
- Wine: Good or bad? Suras 5:90-91 and 2:219 - Strong drink and ... are only an infamy of Satan's handiwork. . Suras 47:15, and 83:22, 25 - Yet on the other hand in Paradise are rivers of wine. How does Satan's handiwork get into Paradise? Surah 2:219 also says there is profit in intoxicants.
Contrast these blunders in the Qur'an (Koran) showing this book is not inspired by God with this example of something really divinely inspired and accurate from the Jewish/Christian Bible:
Millions of Europeans died of leprosy for hundreds of years. Some physicians thought the cause was eating hot food or the meat of diseased hogs. Others blamed malign conjunction of the planets. Approximately 60 million people died from the BLACK DEATH in the 14th century.
God divinely revealed in the Jewish Old Testament thousands of years earlier that the solution to leprosy and the black plague was separating those infected and proper hygiene, such as burying things that come in contact with infected individuals :
"Once the condition of leprosy has been established, the patient was to be segregated and excluded from the community..."
For centuries in Europe, multitudes perished because of improper hygiene, sanitation and sloppy hospitals. In many villages, human excrement and waste was dumped into the streets, bringing deadly epidemics of typhoid, cholera and dysentery.
The solution to the problem, the burying of wastes, and separating people, had been given by God 3500 years before (in Deuteronomy 23:12-13)
