What's in the Quran/Koran?
After being accused of
reading a "bad translation" of the Quran, I went to a huge secular
bookstore and compared over 8 different translations of the Quran/Koran,
all very pro-Islam; they all said the same things in these verses,
to claim bad translation is a cover up. To mystically claim "one
must read Arabic" is ludicrous, if you learned the language you would
still get the same translation, anything can be translated, and the Quran
was not purely Arabic anyway!

confirmed. Additionally, clerics will tell you it's "out of context"
so I found the "context" in the Hadith and Sira, Islam's other holy
books. They show the "method of Muhammad," approaching other countries
with covert groups (cells) prepared to carry out violence on
Christians, Jews, infidels. Read Yale Professor
Mary Habeck, military historian, on this topic.
Direct quotes from the Quran:
ANNOUNCE PAINFUL PUNISHMENT TO THOSE WHO DISBELIEVE (9:3)
O Prophet! urge the
believers to war; if there are twenty patient ones of you they shall
overcome two hundred... (8:65)
Surely the vilest of animals in Allah's sight are those who disbelieve
(8:55)
And fight with them until there is no more persecution and religion
should be only for Allah (8:39)
When the sacred months have passed away, THEN SLAY THE IDOLATERS
WHEREVER YOU FIND THEM, AND TAKE THEM CAPTIVES AND BESIEGE THEM AND LIE
IN WAIT FOR THEM IN EVERY AMBUSH, then if they repent and keep up prayer
[become believers] and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them
(9:5)
And if they intend to act unfaithfully towards you, so indeed they acted
unfaithfully towards Allah before, but He GAVE YOU MASTERY OVER THEM
(8:71)
FIGHT THEM: ALLAH WILL PUNISH THEM BY YOUR HANDS AND BRING THEM TO
DISGRACE, AND ASSIST YOU AGAINST THEM. (9:14)
FIGHT THOSE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE IN ALLAH, nor in the latter day, nor do
they prohibit what Allah and His Messenger have prohibited, NOR FOLLOW
THE RELIGION OF TRUTH, OUT OF THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE BOOK
[Christians and Jews], until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of
superiority and THEY ARE IN A STATE OF SUBJECTION. (9:29)
O Prophet! strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be
unyielding to them; and their abode is hell, and evil is the
destination. (9:73)
O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you
and let them find in you hardness; and know that Allah is with those who
guard (against evil). (9:123)
I WILL CAST TERROR INTO THE HEARTS OF THOSE WHO
DISBELIEVE. THEREFORE STRIKE OFF THEIR HEADS AND STRIKE OFF EVERY
FINGERTIP OF THEM. THIS IS BECAUSE THEY ACTED ADVERSELY TO ALLAH AND HIS
MESSENGER; AND WHOEVER ACTS ADVERSELY TO ALLAH AND HIS MESSENGER - THEN
SURELY ALLAH IS SEVERE IN REQUITING (EVIL). THIS - TASTE IT, AND (KNOW)
THAT FOR THE UNBELIEVERS IS THE PUNISHMENT OF FIRE. O you who believe!
When you meet those who disbelieve marching for war, then turn not your
backs to them. And whoever shall turn his back to them on that day -
unless he turn aside for the sake of fighting or withdraws to a company
- then he, indeed, becomes deserving of Allah's wrath, and his abode is
hell; and an evil destination shall it be. So you did not slay them, but
it was Allah Who slew them and you did not smite when you smote (the
enemy) but it was Allah Who smote, and that He might confer upon the
believers a good gift from Himself; (8:12-17)
And that you should judge between them by what Allah has revealed, and
do not follow their low desires, and be cautious of them, lest they
seduce you from part of what Allah has revealed to you; but if they turn
back, then know that Allah desires to afflict them on account of some of
their faults; and most surely many of the people are transgressors. Is
it then the judgment of the times of ignorance that they desire: and who
is better than Allah to judge for a people who are sure? O YOU WHO
BELIEVE! DO NOT TAKE THE JEWS AND THE CHRISTIANS FOR FRIENDS; THEY ARE
FRIENDS OF EACH OTHER; AND WHOEVER AMONGST YOU TAKES THEM FOR A FRIEND,
THEN SURELY HE IS ONE OF THEM; SURELY ALLAH DOES NOT GUIDE THE UNJUST
PEOPLE. (5:49-51)
The punishment of those who pit themselves against Allah and His
Messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that
they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet
should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this
shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they
shall have a grievous chastisement, except those who repent before you
have them in your power (5:33-34)
Believe therefore in Allah and His apostles, and say not, Three. Desist,
it is better for you; Allah is only one god: far be it from his glory
that He should have a son. (4:171)
What is the matter with you, then, that you have become two parties
about the hypocrites, while Allah has made them return (to unbelief) for
what they have earned? Do you wish to guide him whom Allah has caused to
err? And whomsoever Allah causes to err, you shall by no means find a
way for him. THEY DESIRE THAT YOU SHOULD DISBELIEVE AS THEY HAVE
DISBELIEVED, SO THAT YOU MIGHT BE ALL ALIKE; THEREFORE TAKE NOT FROM
AMONG THEM FRIENDS UNTIL THEY FLY THEIR HOMES IN ALLAH'S WAY; BUT IF
THEY TURN BACK, THEN SEIZE THEM AND KILL THEM WHEREVER YOU FIND THEM,
AND TAKE NOT FROM AMONG THEM A FRIEND OR A HELPER. (4:89)
As for those who disbelieve in Our communications, We shall make them
enter fire; so oft as their skins are thoroughly burned, We will change
them for other skins, that they may taste the punishment (4:56)
Surely they who disbelieve in the communications of Allah - they shall
have a severe punishment; and Allah is Mighty, the lord of retribution.
(3:4)
Allah 's Apostle said, " I have been ordered to fight with the people
till they say, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah,' and
whoever says, None has the right to be worshipped but Allah,' his life
and property will be saved by me except for Islamic law, and his
accounts will be with Allah, (either to punish him or to forgive him.)"
(Hadith 4:52:196)
Allah's Apostles said, "When a slave (of Allah) commits illegal sexual
intercourse, he is not a believer at the time of committing it; and if
he steals, he is not a believer at the time of stealing; and if he
drinks an alcoholic drink, when he is not a believer at the time of
drinking it; and he is not a believer when he commits a murder," 'Ikrima
said: I asked Ibn Abbas, "How is faith taken away from him?" He said,
Like this," by clasping his hands and then separating them, and added,
"But if he repents, faith returns to him like this, by clasping his
hands again. (Hadith 8:82:800e:) [So, with the clap of a hand, they can
do whatever they want?]
The Prophet said, "The one who commits an illegal sexual intercourse is
not a believer at the time of committing illegal sexual intercourse and
a thief is not a believer at the time of committing theft and a drinker
of alcoholic drink is not a believer at the time of drinking. Yet, (the
gate of) repentance is open thereafter." (Hadith 8:82:801)
(Isolated incident) ...then prostrated himself, and all who were with
him prostrated too. But an old man took a handful of dust and touched
his forehead with it saying, "This is sufficient for me." Later on I saw
him killed as an infidel. (Hadith 5:59:311)
[yes the Jews and Muslims are both descendents of Abraham, but here is the attitude towards descendants of Abraham through Isaac (the Jews]: "If they find you, they will be your enemies, and will stretch forth towards you their hands and their tongues with evil, and they ardently desire that you may disbelieve. Your relationship would not profit you, nor your children, on the day of resurrection; He will decide between you; and Allah sees what you do. Indeed, there is for you a good example in Abraham and those with him when they said to their people: Surely we are clear of you and of what you serve besides Allah; WE DECLARE OURSELVES TO BE CLEAR OF YOU, AND ENMITY AND HATRED HAVE APPEARED BETWEEN US AND YOU FOREVER UNTIL YOU BELIEVE IN ALLAH ALONE (60:2-4)
Contrast that with what
Jesus said:
"But I say to you, love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
Be merciful as your Father is merciful. This is My commandment, that you
love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no man than this,
that a man lay down his life for his friends." Jesus, SON of God
See What about the Old
Testament?
and What about
the Crusades?
Again, Mohammad first went to the Jews as a prophet, writing of peace; was rejected. Mohammad then went to the Christians claiming to be a prophet and wrote peace; was rejected. Mohammad went back to his own people and was rejected until he (for a short time) said Allah allowed them to worship Allah's daughters. Mohammad then began to slaughter unbelievers and masterminded over 60 massacres, and the Quran changed dramatically to hate, that is why there are so many contradictions. That is also why there are so many familiar phrases and precepts between the religions. Mohammad appeared on the scene over 600 years after Jesus was resurrected, he tried to claim to be a prophet, though illiterate, he knew the scriptures of the Bible well. But "Allah" is certainly NOT the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The characters are exactly opposite! In fact the Hebrew phonetic word Allah (aw-law) means to lament, mourn and curse. (Strong's Exhaustive Concordance #421, 422, 423)
Hate Muslims? NO! Jesus would never have advocated hating anybody! But should we insist our children "assume you are a Muslim soldier" about to conquer a nation? Should they memorize the tenants of Islam, repeat the words, pray to Allah, build Mosques, imagine they are Muslim and write what they like about it? NO!!! And at the same time, school textbooks claim that the Old Testament prophets could not tell the future (yes they could when God revealed it to them countless times!). Additionally, the textbooks actually teach that the Israelites only accepted what the prophets told them so they could explain away the disasters they went through!
"Across the Centuries" and "Message of Ancient Days" claim the religion of Islam is truth, (beliefs are given as fact) and that Judeo-Christian beliefs are false. Public schools INSIST our children learn this. WHERE ARE OUR RELIGIOUS FREEDOMS???
