Why do people not know enough of recent history? especially in the west. Before the US and it's allies obliterated Iraq, Syria, Libya, Egypt, and continuous destabilizing of Pakistan and sanctions on Iran believe it or not doesn't make a difference they were all progressive and developed socities. The portrayal of Sadam as a mad dictator, or Ghadafi, Bashar Al Asad, Mubarak, Khumeni etc..... is only because these countries were not in line with the west expansionist policies of the new world dominance, basically to control the supply route of oil and to keep the Petro dollar as the only currency for world oil trade. This obviously would allow the US to continue it's global dominance and killing rampage. Read the head ex CIA Michael Scheuer's public statements who was in charge in the crucial years of the systematic destruction of the Islamic civilizations. CIA operate if you are not aware in a sequential process. First they will try to negotiate with the head of state and bend their will to allow US policies to be adopted, if not successful they will create an uprising within the country against their leader via third party fronts that supply the financing to rouge fringe elements present within the country as well as implanted to allow for control. That was the rise of the Arab spring, next if that is unsuccessful they will declare war by calling it an 'operation' just so the majority of the Western and the sheep populas of the world are neutralized by not calling it a war to occupy the independent country. At the same time contracts are given to agencies and to mercenaries to assassinate the target. The system is inherently designed to keep the common working people go about their day, keep their heads buried in the daily constraints of life, so they don't have time to use their intellect. The media is as everyone knows by now push out the rest of the false narratives and thereby keep the world in a state of hypnosis like zombies. This type of control drives nuclear families apart as well, both man and woman must work overtime to pay mortgage, taxes, bills, government service fees... Just to turn another day. Few of the intellectuals in the west knew about realities and we're expats most often in Syria, Iraq, Libya due to this. They would get fair compensation, next to no income or sales tax, lodging and transportation, round trip plane tickets provided by employer and good weather year round. The night life, food, culture, shopping is another thing that the west has never experienced that was part of these vibrant societies attraction. Employees had stronger protection against dismissal at will by corporations unlike in the west where the employment standards act has been amended around 1990 to hand more power to the corporations. Majority of the people are made to believe the middle East was a poor and underdeveloped area (through media) yet not shining the light on welfare states in the US, where the people on food stamps far exceed the ones holding jobs with decent wages. Ghadafi had been warning and at times blackmailing the west to keep him on their side or the tide of migrants into Europe and the US that Libya is keeping a lid on will bust open. He knew they were planning to remove him from their way. Look at the situation now, Europe and the US will see migrants infiltrate their borders. Anyway, the west would have kept people believing in this orchestrated narrative if Russia had not stepped in and exposed their agenda. Since they were being rattled for their actions in Crimea. It was payback for Putin. It's much better to know reality and not be in a bubble. You get the true prospective only if you have lived in both societies. How can you know if majority of the Western world especially the Americans have not even traveled out of their towns in their lifetime and made to believe they have it better than any other country or that they have a democracy, it's more of a hypocracy the president has no power, the Senate and the big Business lobbies control the country. Only the few at the high levels of the society know, the rest are fodder.

You may want to check out some of the videos of Hamza Yusuf, an American revert, or Abdurraheem Green, a British revert to Islam. The two can claim to speak for Islam, not Asslan.

This is very interesting but 1.I can find no references to Nestorian versions of Christian stories, can someone provide a link? 2. Historians like Tom Holland who look at Islam in a real historical context, as Rushdie describes, actually say that Islam was not born in the full light of history. One of the major parts of Holland's work is to show that Islam probably wasn't born of Mohammad, but attributed to him at a later date by a warlord who did invent it. The earliest evidence we have of any reference to"Muslims" rather than simply "Arabs" is considerably later than the Arab conquests. This would suggest a later effort to unite the growing Arab empire under Islam, much like what the Romans did with Christianity but on a smaller scale.

what Mr Salman Rushdie said is true, that is a scholarly consensus. He is well-informed. Nestorian Christianity prevailed in arabia at that time. Now the question is- who's to say that the version of the Jesus narrative that was promulgated in Arabia through Nestorians was not the correct one? It is a million dollar question if you stop and think about it one that many scholars of our time struggle to answer or just duck the question. Because to answer this you need to know how much of the canonical narrative was true and how much of the aporcrypha that were thrown out, was false?? Apocrypha is borrowed from Greek apokryptein, meaning “to hide away” or that is hidden. To be a little ironic here, what is being hidden away from the original narratives? The believer might ask, didn't the Quran scold the priests of the people of the book for hiding away the truth? Not all of the apocrypha as much as I understand it, was BS. It went through a very humane process of subjective choosing which books and stories to include and which to throw out, and I agree some apocrypha such as the gnostic books are just too exotic, mere fantasies to be added. But who is to say other apocrypha (new testament) were garbage, untrue? I have been seeking good scholarly source that answers this but there seems shockingly nothing on this. I know that the child Jesus speaking from cradle, and Mary being fed by the angel are stories found in some extra-biblical books, but these stories are sombre, decent and while miraculous, are quite in line with the tone of other prophetic stories in the NT, the Quran and the Old testament. Which makes me wonder why were these really sombre stories not included?? Simply because they could not be found in those other 4 gospels that went on to be canonized? These are some really important questions, without answering these questions it is a fool's act really, to critique any sources that refer to the extra-biblical texts.

The Quran will speak for itself: -Praise,belongs to God, Lord of the heavens and earth, and all of humanity. (Quran 45:36). -Say to the people, “He is God, the one and only, God the eternal and perfect, He begets not, nor is he begotten, and there is nothing like Him.” QURAN chapter 112. -This Quran is without a doubt a revelation from the Lord of all that exists. (Quran 32:2). -It is a revelation from He who created the earth and the high heavens. (Quran 20:4). -He is the one and only true God. (Quran 112:1). -He sent the Quran with truth, confirming the scriptures that came before it, the Torah and the gospel. (Quran 3:3). -Say to them: we believe in God, and what was revealed to us, and what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the tribes, and what was given to Moses, and Jesus, and that which was given to all the Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we surrender ourselves. (Quran 2:136). -God commands justice, goodness, and kindness. He forbids imorality, injustice, and oppression. (Quran 16:90). -Your Lord is not unjust and does not wrong anyone. (Quran 18:49). -Whoever commits evil and is consumed with sin, his final end will be hell. (Quran 2:81). -Whoever does an atoms weight of good will be rewarded for it, and whoever does an atoms weight of evil will be punished for it. (Quran 99:7-8). -Holy scripture is from God the Almighty, All-knowing. He is severe in punishment, but He accepts repentance and forgives sins. He is the most compassionate, most merciful. To Him is your ultimate return. (Quran 40:2-3). -The heavens, We have built them with power. And verily, We are expanding them. (QURAN 51:47). -Don’t the disbelievers realize that the heavens and earth were ˹once˺ one mass then We split them apart? And then We created from water every living thing. Will they not then believe? (QURAN 21:30).

[@graymatter6661]

Alright let me address this one by one 1.I deserve all the praise, I made everything, I am the only one true being, You have to surrender to me, whatever I do is always correct, I can never do wrong, If you do good I will reward you, If bad then I will punish you, If you don't accept me I will punish you but if you do I will be compassionate and merciful to you, To me is your destiny. # IDK about you brother but to me this sounds a lot like what an "Abusive partner" will usually say. 2. Quran 51:47, With power and skill did We construct the Firmament: for it is We Who create the vastness of space. Yusuf Ali's a Muslim scholar translation. Quran 21:32 Dr. Mohammad Mahmoud Ghali, And We have made the heaven as a roof well-preserved, and (yet still) from its signs they are veering away. # Heaven is used for both sky and space to me seems very contradictory unless translated in a way where it fits the narrative. Babylonians had a similar creation story it is known as "The song of the hoe". Not only did the lord make the world appear in its correct form, the lord who never changes the destinies which he determines - Enlil - who will make the human seed of the Land come forth from the earth - and not only did he hasten to separate heaven from earth, and hasten to separate earth from heaven, but, in order to make it possible for humans to grow in "where flesh came forth" [the name of a cosmic location], he first raised the axis of the world at Dur-an-ki. Clearly the creation story of Babylonians existed thousands of years before Islam yet had similar story to me this looks like prophet Mohammad fabricated it and wrote it as his own. Don't take my word for it just go on google and type "creations myths of different religions". All of them mention water, space, fire Etc Non-scientific verses of Quran Semen doesn't come from spine and ribcage (Quran 86:6-7) Moon did not split in two (Quran 54:1) Sun does not set in muddy water (Quran 18:86) Stars aren't missiles which you can throw at devils (Quran 67:5) Birds are not held by force of Allah (Quran 16:79) I could go on for a day to put up Non-scientific verses of Quran. In the Quran itself Prophet Muhammad was accused of fabricating many times to this he never gave any definitive evidence rather just said disbelievers will be punished and burnt in hell.

You were doing the same thing i just pointed out how exactly it sounds and made counter points using specific verses in Quran. When I touch the flame I don’t have to question if it’s real, cause i can literally see it and additionally i’d feel extreme pain and blisters will form on my skin. If that is how i’ll feel in afterlife I’m good. I don’t believe in it regardless. Feelings: A schizophrenic person might feel as if the FBI is onto them that doesn’t mean they actually are. Feelings aren’t always true. When you are walking all alone in the middle of the night you might have feeling that you’re being followed or watched, in all reality you might not be. So feelings aren’t true. When we are talking about god who is all knowing all merciful all wise and has very specific rules to follow and certain lifestyle to maintain the last thing you want to base your argument is on feelings and thoughts and assertions without evidence. You seem like a good person brother, you immediately did not start getting defensive and resort to attacking, I hope you will realize the truth that “Islam” like any other religion (There are more than 1000 religions and 3000 recorded gods) is completely made by man. The fact that normal people like you and me could point out mistakes in Quran is a tell tale sign that it is not word of god.

[@truthseeker5097]

@@graymatter6661 Hello friend. Always good to hear from you. Unlike the many 1000’s of other religions and gods you mentioned, Islam makes sense. Muslims don’t worship a man, cow, river, the sun, the moon, a tree, or an idol, etc. Nor do they believe nothingness is a viable reality. The true God is not bound by time and space. Nor is he divided into different personalities. One small chapter from the Quran sums it all up: “God is one and only. He is eternal and perfect. He begets not nor is He begotten, and there is nothing like Him.” (Quran chapter 112). Despite vicious attacks internal and external over 1400 years, Islam is the fastest growing religion, and will be the largest religion within the next 50 years! This is indeed a miracle, not because of the trend, but because God said it would be so in the Quran 1400 years ago: “He has sent his messenger with guidance and a religion of truth, and will make it prevail over all other religions.” (Quran 9:33).

fofr the narrative side of the Quran I get his point. But for the whole Quran his argument that looking at the Quran as an event inside history cant hold its ground. Otherwise many chapters could not have been revealed how they have been. F. e. when the prophets wife was seen with a nother man riding a camel, the people of the town backbited about her, which the Prophet reacted to. For this reason God revealed to the prohpet about the backbiting and it's fault. Or when the Prophet overlooked a poor mans desire to hear about islam, when the prophet instead rushed for the influential people in the city, god immediately gave him a revelation. At least thats the muslim traditions standpoint, which oh course is not part of a scientifc historian approach i guess?

1. The Holy Unchanged Quran does not state that Jesus was born in an oasis, it states that he was born under a palm tree, whereas the Bible is silent about his birth. 2. The Holy Quran resembles the Bible because it corrects the corrupted scriptures of the Bible: "And surely We created the heavens and the earth and what is between them in six days, and never were we touched by any fatigue." Surah Qaf 50:38; and 3. we know nothing about Prophet Muhammad. The Holy Quran is silent about his life and the things he claims to know about him have been written 200 years upon his death, therefore the Prophet did not marry a child because Allah forbids pedophilia in His unchanged Book: Surah An-Nisa 6 and 23 + Surah An-Nur 58-59.

How to make Allah's kithab (Qur'an) *Ingredients:* 1. Verses-fed Aisha's goat's mutton - 2kg 2. Sabean / Mandean book Ginza Rabba - 1 kg 3. Manichean/Nestorian/Mervian cult's Aramaic lectionary or Keriana (translated by Waraqah ibn Nawfel) - 2 handfuls 4. Christian & Jewish Apocryphas & Fairy Tales (translated by Waraqah ibn Nawfel) - 2 handfuls 5. Teachings from Zoroastrianism (includes Arda Viraf's night journey on Barag to heaven to meet his god, jinns & houries) - 1 cup 6. Jewish Talmud (5 - this must be crushed and made into puree) 7. Mohammad's hallucinations, epileptic attacks and shaytan's interventions - 5 table spoons 8. Hatred against other religions - 4 handful thinly sliced into 4 parts. 9. Mohammad's self interest - 2 teaspoon 10. Epic of Gilgamesh - 1 teaspoon 11. Shehimo prayer stolen from Syrian Orthodox Christians - 1/2 teaspoon 12. Al Feter copied from Harranian Sabeans - 1 teaspoon 13. Hindu Manusmrithi (purity by sand), to taste - as needed 14. Poems of Imrul Qais, to taste - as needed 15. Luqman stolen from Suwaid bin Samith Ansari after killing him (by Muhammed) - 1 teaspoon *Preparation:* Chop verses-fed mutton from Aisha's goat into medium size pieces. Slice Sabean Ginza Rabba into small pieces. Pour the Manichean / Nestorian cult literature Keriana and Christian /Jewish Apocrypha and Fairy Tales into it and saute. Then pour the Teachings from Zoroastrianism into it and bring to boil. Keep this aside. In another pan, fry the Talmud and Mohammad's hallucinations as well as the rest of the ingredients, except Al Feter and Shehimo prayer. Take the Syrian Orthodox Christian Shehimo prayer and make it into the *first 6 lines* of the 'Al Fatiha' and add. Now knead the above into dough and flatten it into a book form. Add Al Feter copied from the Sabeans and rename it as 'Ramdan'. Take 2270 copies of different wordings and burn all but 1. Then cut it into several pieces and place in front of a table fan. Now switch the fan at full power, ensuring all pieces are well scattered. Now turn off the fan and scoop up all the bits and bind it onto a book. Start at 96th Chapter and end at 5th Chapter, verse 3. Make 9 copies and later 33 more of different wordings. For those of you who like dips, use never-pregnant Aisha's breast milk, whipped cream 😋, cucumber 🥒 and 7 Ajwa dates from "🌴 grown on the wayside". The suggested drink with this dish is warm camel-urine beer: Al Lah take-beer.🍺🍻. An alternative is Muhammed's favourite alcohol Nabidh. There you go -- now you have the most amazing spicy Qur'an for the whole mankind. Note: For those who like a smoke after dinner, they can roll up and use the white powder (the one Aisha scrapes off Mohammad's pyjamas) as special cigarette. *Without lies, Islam dies* *THAQIYYA IBN ISLAM*

What is the punishment for blasphemy in Islam? There is no punishment in Islam for blasphemy. No such punishment is prescribed in the Holy Quran, or in any of the traditions of the Prophet Muhammad(sa). Islam promotes the need for respect of all religions for the sake of peace in society, but it does not set out any punishment for blasphemy despite the offence it may cause people of faith. We have evidence in the traditions of the Holy Prophet(sa) where Abdullah bin Ubayyee (Chief of the hypocrites) continuously abused the Prophet(sa), and opposed him severely in Madinah. When he passed away, the Prophet(sa) stood to offer his funeral prayers but was asked by one of his companions, “O Allah’s Apostle! Do you offer the prayer for this man although he said so-and-so on such-and-such-a day?” and “that he is a hypocrite!”. The Prophet(sa) ignored his statements and continued to offer the funeral prayers of the dead man. (Sahih Bukhari, Volume 6, Book 60, Number 192) The above example shows that the Prophet(sa) never ordered any punishment for anyone who insulted or abused him or God; on the contrary he went to pray for them that they be guided aright. If somebody uses foul language against any holy person or teaching, Islam advises to keep away from such people as The Holy Qur’an says, And when you see those who trifle with our signs then turn thou away from them until then engage in a discourse other than that and if Satan cause thee to forget then sit not, after recollection, with the unjust people. (Ch.6: V.69) A book “ Rushdie Haunted by his unholy ghosts ” is a good read on this subject.

are you talking about the video which was forwarded in the starting and then went normal... there are many videos editted intentionaly to malign the preach. And let me tell you dear logic is always more important to be understood than the emotion if you are taking me neutrally. And you are right.. Allah does nit intervene in our lives bcoz he have revealed Qur'an... as per Allah he want's to see whi amongst you and me does right or wrong.. Don't you think one man on earth killing 100 people brutally alone... when he falls guilty and comes under custody and sentenced to death...when this guy is sentenced to death he is killed once only right... what about the compensation of the balance 99... this 99 Allah will show him in here after... Allah says in the Qur'an that you think i won't put your life back the second time after death then you are indeed wrong.... Allah says i can even bring you fingerprints back which you had in your previous life... Look Allah says in Qur'an if the first party preaching the second party to Allah is not listening or not interested with the first partys preach.. and the second party does argue a lot... then over here Allah commands to tell the second party to wait and watch his future... and commands the first party to also let him wait and watch his future...Allah knows best dear... Don't mind my words.. This is what Allah tells in Qur'an and i can never force you to embrace Islam. Bcoz there is no compulsion in religion Islam.. Thankyou

[@MuhammadRashid-ww3ti]

Fine.. Good question.. this is showing that you are concerned a bit about the questions you have put forward... with regards to Prophet Muhammad's ancestors those who worshipped Allah alone and followed the Peophet of there era and didnot associate partner with him where Muslims who shall enter Jannah.. Prophet Ibrahim and Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him both of there fathers are the fuel of hell... they shall belong to hell because they where associating partners other than Allah... Allah's message is being sent through out the world and no body can deny that...we have Qur'an available through out the world we can see.... and with regard to the non Muslims, Christians, Buddhist etc.. let them work or dedicate there lives for humans... Unless they don't worship the god of the humans and unless they don't intend to believe that Allah is one and no deity is worthy if worship accept him and Prophet Muhammad is the kast and the final messenger... they won't enter Jannah after death. Let me tell u.. Muslims are not those who name themselves Muslim in passport or identity.. Muslims are those who follow the order of Allah mentioned in the Qur'an and are practising Muslims.... My name is Muhammad if you know... I Muhammad will never enter Jannah unless i don't pray 5 times which is compulsory for Muslims and if a Muslim stops praying then he does not remain a Muslim.. he need to repent and start bowing infront of Allah... and I Muhammad can never enter Jannah bcoz my passport content my name and my religion is Muslim....i need to follow the orders of Allah as mentioned in Qur'an...

[@MuhammadRashid-ww3ti]

All humans are aware of Islam and there are even name sake Muslims aware of Islam... but they don't want to lose there fake life which can leave there body anytime called soul.... and are really not ready to worship there creator there provider... And this will be the reason dragging them to hell fire.. we both will see that day... just like we where not in the world few decades back which seemed impossibe for people forementioning our name and we are alive this day....

Maybe Mr. Rushdie doesn't genuinely believe? He has said he has a "God shaped hole" in his life. He's not somebody that seems to disrespect the power of religion, even if he himself doesn't believe in God. I guess it's difficult to understand if you weren't raised with liberal European values, that there's a possible bifurcation between cultural expectations and your own personal beliefs, that they aren't necessarily one in the same, and that people can disbelief and still be people of goodwill.

And see what happened to Rushdi now! Why didnt he write something good for humanity and love

[@EvilForGoodVision]

He looks better here on personality and energy wise, but when he wrote his book at the time he looked like a possessed Writer. What he said is true, but still doesn't admit the prophecies in the Qura'an about human nature which is completley true. And most people when reading the Qura'an in search for truth they will find as if they were commanded and were being talk to by God. And he doesn't admit the Astronomical correct facts in the Qura'an a book that collected truth about life and the human existence purpose and all of the Galaxies indicating miracles of God in his creation of all things and setting purpose of living. Prophet Muhammad was revealed by God all of that knowledge, just like all prophets behind him were teaching and advising for guidance of mankind to live in peace and righteousness with one another. Of course to not believe in God after he shows you all the truth is worth punishment. Especially if you mischief by doing harmful things to yourself and/or to others. Allah is the same God since the creation of Adam and he must be worshiped by all creation. Then there's the best thing for mankind after this world finishes to them there's another world which is called heaven where nothing you ever saw on this universe you can imagine. So I hope all of you see light and I hope I to. Thank you,

Instead you choose to follow Richard Dawkins ''Possessed by Science'' Anti-Christ got you people. :)

[@EvilForGoodVision]

By the way Glenys Wiseman .. it's enough 1400 years ago the Quraan has scientific fact of Embryo development stages. Go check it out ask any Muslim on this verse. ثم خلقنا النطفة علقة فخلقنا العلقة مضغة فخلقنا المضغة عظاما فكسونا العظام لحما ثم أنشأناه خلقا آخر فتبارك الله أحسن الخالقين Or you can copy-paste into Google translation, research which chapter. I gave you one of the Scientific facts in the Quraan. to research the Scientific verses that are agreed on by modern science. I believe the Torah and the Talmud, Psalms, Bible are corrupt by human intervention, but still there is word of God and laws given by Angels to Prophets. I believe after death there is life to other planets Heaven or Hell. Just like God put us here on this bubble... he can put us somewhere else.

[@diyaa_ulqamar]

Salman Rushdie is not an intellectual. His profession is writing; making up sensationalised stories to coerce his mass audience. His works are based on other sensationalised stories that he believes are authentic. When in reality, these stories are based on what is most appealing to certain demographics, not in the slightest deemed reliable. Take the "Satanic Verses" book for instance. He believes that the Quran had a satanic influence to it. But if you look at the evidence in the Qur''an itself, the argument he makes are easily refutable. In chapter 22:52, Never did We send a Messenger or a Prophet before you (O Muhammad), but that whenever he had a desire, Satan interfered with that desire. Allah eradicates the interference of Satan and strengthens His Signs.Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise. Ibn Katheer says this. The Arabic word tamanna has two meanings: “desire” and “to recite” something. If the first meaning is taken, it will imply: Satan tried to prevent the fulfillment of his desire. If the second meaning is taken, it will imply: When the Prophet recited the Revelations, Satan created different sorts of doubts about its truth and meanings in the minds of the people. If the first meaning is adopted, it will imply: Allah fulfills the Prophet’s desire and makes his mission successful in spite of the obstacles of Satan and confirms the truth of His revelations by fulfilling His promises to the Prophet. In case of the second meaning, it will imply: Allah eradicates all the doubts and objections inspired by Satan in the hearts of the people and clarifies the confusion created about any verse of the Quran in subsequent revelations. “Allah is All-Knower” and has full knowledge of the mischief worked by Satan and of its effects, and being All- Wise, He counteracts every mischief of Satan.

[@samantarmaxammadsaciid5156]

@Sven Andersson To express oneself is a natural, and the the fact that there is the expression "Freedom of Expression or Speech" shows that we humans naturally are not equal in our conditions or situations in we find ourselves, which brings forth the power differences within a group, hence the word "Freedom" in the "Freedom of Expression / Speech" expresses "Power itself" highlighting the contrasting power difference within a group or between different groups, therefore "Freedom of Expression / Speech" = "Free Rein", and no-one has free rein on anybody except on the weak to be exploited in anyway the one with the power to exploite can! It is humanity regardless of one's identity or affiliation which is always part and parcel of it! And the fact that someone or authority is telling you "you have a freedom of expression" means you are slave to that person or authority of power, except when expressed in delusion rather than with actual power! Freedom of Expression = slavery of Expression!

The account of Jesus's birth is one true account, now it couldn't be different in two books of God himself, could it? He his true that this account is similar if not same in the Quran and Old Testament but it was so because it's one account that happened. In Islam, there are four books of God out of which the Bible and the Quran are two. The Bible was believed to be altered by men with their own narrations, and since it wasn't pure anynore so it was rejected to be a guide for mankind. There on, the Quran was descended.

That's my problem with the narrative in the Quran God sent the Torah to Moses and it got hopelessly corrupted, before that God sent the Writings to Abraham and they got corrupted, God eventually sent the Zabuur to David and they got corrupted, than God sent the Injil to Jesus and that got corrupted. I'm already skeptical to trust the Quran because the god of Islam failed to protect and preserve 4 books by the time he gets to the Quran. Than I read the Quran and I read Surah 15 verse 91 and find out the Quran was being torn up while it was being written and the Hadiths say that Uthman burned several Qurans he thought had the wrong words. So certain Quran verses are legit lost to history.
