[@thecloudtherapist]

You clearly haven't read anything by Dr William Lane Craig, then, and his critique of islam. How deficient its doctrine of God's justice is. How ineffective its doctrine of salvation is. And how it makes out God to be a liar and deceiver, to have made billions of people think that Jesus actually died on the cross but in fact, it was only made to appear that way.

​@@BloggingTheology The story of the satanic verses is true not only because of the criterion of embarrassment, but mainly because your early scholars affirm that it happened. al-Tabari's account is more than enough to demolish any of your objections. Additionally to that, the koran testifies it happened in 22.52. Your false prophet bowed down and worshiped satan. You can dance around the fact all you want - it shall remain indisputable. I challenge you to post a comprehensive list of ALL your scholars [up until 250 years AH] that rejected the truthfulness of this incident, and necessarily labeled al-Tabari and ibn-Hisham as blasphemers for including it in their writings.

[@h20taku60]

Well, no. Yasir Quadhi presents it as legitimate, as in "look at these famous scholars who said this was real, I'm not saying it's real, but it could totally be real" which is just one of many things Yasir Quadhi says that are problematic. Anyway, if they are fabricated, and we are certain they are fabricated, that means they don't have any chance of being real. Meaning Yasir Quadhi either spoke of it without knowing that or he deliberately misrepresented the issue for some reason. It's either clearly fabricated or "it may have some truth to it because others believed it before", it cannot be both

This story if true it actually proves the sincerity of the prophet because why would he not exploit the pagans through verses like these when according to the story they believed in him after the verse ? Why would he chose to remain on monotheism when he and his companions would be persecuted ? This was to be the peak of his power why would he give that power up for monotheism ?

What I don't get is how on earth did a man armed with knife pass the security? And how did attacker post about this on FB when they have an AI that IMMEDIATELY flags posts about Gaza /Hamas or against LGTV, but let this guy post to his heart content. Search Google for Rushdie's location, then arriving at the scene , pass the security with a knife. Let's be honest, nobody's heard Salman Rushdie's name perhaps in decades. Onky a few articles about him a few months ago for some reason. He's 75 years of age.The Iranians gov actually made this guy popular. They've done far far worse in term of insulting Quran, the ahadeeth and the sahaba! It's a joke. The endgame is to use this guy as a symbol against Islamic extremism. Nobody's gonna care the assailant who's American citizen, is pro-Iran, pro Solemani & pro-Khomeini. Rushdie could've died died at 76 and be forgotten. But this attack serves the secular liberalists agenda as well as the far rights.

History shows that Momo attempted to coerce the Coreish Jews with a compromise. As far as the overwhelming majority of the Muslim community in the first two hundred years was concerned, the Messenger of God did indeed, on at least one occasion, mistake words of Satanic suggestion as being of Divine inspiration. For the early Muslims, the Satanic verses incident was something entirely thinkable. Shahab Ahmed, Before Orthodoxy: The Satanic Verses in Early Islam, Harvard University Press, pp. 2-3, ISBN 9780674047426, 2017 The Satanic Verses incident is reported in the tafsir and the sira-maghazi literature dating from the first two centuries of Islam, and is reported in the respective tafsīr corpuses transmitted from almost every Qur'anic commentator of note in the first two centuries of the hijra. It seems to have constituted a standard element in the memory of the early Muslim community about the life of Muhammad.[1] It has also been recorded in four early major biographies of Muhammad; al-Waqidi,[2] Ibn Saad,[3] al-Tabari,[4] and Ibn Ishaq,[5] and is indirectly and in part referred to in al-Tirmidhi and Sahih Bukhari, where it is recorded that Muhammad performed a prostration when he finished reciting Surat-an-Najm, and all the Muslims and pagans prostrated along with him.[6] Since in today's Qur'an, the pagan goddesses are attacked in that particular Surah, pagans and Muslims prostrating represents a remarkable memory of Muhammad holding a totally heterodox view to contemporary and historical Islam. He also saw him (Gabriel) at another descent, By the Lote-tree[8] at the furthest boundary, Near to which is the Paradise of rest. When the Lote-tree covered that which it covered, His sight turned not aside, neither did it wander. And verily he beheld some of the greatest Signs of his Lord. And see ye not Lat and Ozza, And Manat the third besides?-- When he had reached this verse, the devil suggested to Mahomet an expression of thoughts which had long possessed his soul; and put into his mouth words of reconciliation and compromise such as he had been yearning that God might send unto his people, namely:-- These are exalted Females, And verily their intercession is to be hoped for. It appears that the early Muslims worshiped four Gods, Lat, Ozza, Manat and Allah. So how many Gods do you have? RD
