The Critical Qur'an: Key Islamic Commentaries & Historical Research | Robert Spencer |

The talk is based on Robert Spencer's 2022 book, 'The Critical Qur'an: Explained from Key Islamic Commentaries and Contemporary Historical Research,' a unique resource for understanding the Islamic Holy Book.
• The Critical Qur'an: K...
Book - amzn.to/3URM8sM
As Islamic terrorism becomes a distressingly common feature of life in North America and Europe, it has become increasingly important for non-Muslims to be aware of the ideology that animates and motivates jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women and others-an ideology that’s rooted in Islam’s holy book, the Qur’an.
English-speaking people, however, have found attempts to understand the Qur’an and Islam impeded by unclear, densely worded translations and explanatory notes written by Islamic apologists attempting to conceal, rather than reveal, how Islamic jihadis use the texts and teachings of the Qur’an to justify violence and supremacism, and to make recruits of peaceful Muslims.
The Critical Qur’an, in contrast, makes clear the passages that are used to incite violence. Historian and Islamic scholar Robert Spencer elucidates the Qur’anic text with extensive references to the principal tafsir, or commentaries, that mainstream Muslims use today to understand the Qur’an, showing how interpretations that sanction violence are unfortunately not outliers, but central in Islamic theology.
The Critical Qur’an is the Islamic counterpart to numerous critical and skeptical editions of the Bible that have appeared over the last century and more. It is the one edition of Islam’s book that doesn’t shy away from elucidating why the holy book of Islam is so frequently quoted and referred to with reverence by people who commit and/or justify acts of violence. It is a basic resource for everyone who wishes to understand the persistent phenomenon of Islamic terrorism, and the peculiar provenance of this most provocative book.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
ROBERT SPENCER is the director of Jihad Watch, a program of the David Horowitz Freedom Center, and has published over twenty-six works, including the New York Times bestsellers The Truth About Muhammad and The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades). Spencer is a weekly columnist for Human Events and FrontPage Magazine, and has led seminars on Islam and jihad for the United States Central Command, United States Army Command and General Staff College, the U.S. Army's Asymmetric Warfare Group, the FBI, the Joint Terrorism Task Force, and the U.S. intelligence community.

[@premprakashjauhari2751]

Very good work by Robert Spencer. It must be popularized. Allah of Islam does not know even basic science e.g. Earth is flat?

[@bluesky45299]

Quran (only scripture with 100% accuracy/preservation) says Allah is “Al-Ahad”(one/indivisible).Philosophically, It is impossible for 3 distinct perfections to exist simultaneously. Father (Perfection 1/distinct1) =Son (Perfection 2/distinct2)=idolatry.This is due to addition of two extra perfections that are Co-equal/Co-eternal&distinct with Allah(the most Exalted). Not just the Quran, but also the old/New Testament textually establish tauheed(monotheism). So, then why believe in trinity and associate two imaginary parts to Allah(one/indivisible/Self-Sufficient/All-Loving)? How could your love/worship be undivided/exclusive for Allah(the most Exalted) when there are two other equally unique/perfect entities to adore? The verses of bible used by trinitarians are extremely vague and require hard interpretation to extract the understanding that Father/Son/Holy Ghost are Co-equal/Co-Eternal&distinct.

[@rexweller3759]

Laser experiments, ultra violet camera photos and Nikon P900 and P1000 photographs prove the earth is flat. See video "200 Proofs the Earth is not a Sphere" by Eric Dubay.

His first nine sentences were 8.4.2015 in the morning. Since then I have told people and timestamped many prescient visions that came true. His last sentence to me was four years ago after months. He said one sentence. " You are Princess Messenger of God " Is God lying or did Muhammad lie?

[@bluesky45299]

Abandon the worship of self(desires), desires that manifest as idols in many forms.

➡️ Regarding men’s superiority in the Bible, ‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭2‬:‭11‬-‭15‬ ‭NIV _”A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. But women will be saved through childbearing-if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety”_ Even if you try to explain it by placing in some “context” then remember there’s a reference to the Genesis which makes a try of contextual clarification just a simple rationalisation. The reference to Adam & Eve’s story - the order of creation and Eve’s transgression is beyond any doubt in this passage.

I read the whole Critical Qur'an and I love it. It took me quite a long time to read it but I could not put it down because it is so bril. BTW, why are the pages ultra thin? It makes the pages so hard to separate and the gold print on the cover comes off so easily. I also read Did Muhammad Exist and enjoyed it. If Muhammad didn't exist does that mean Aisha didn't exist either? What about Uthman? Can you write a book about if he existed or not? Thanks.

[@indianmilitary]

What about Uthman? Who is "uthman"? 🤣🤣 " could not put it down because it is so bril" yeah since Quran claims 'Earth is flat like a flying carpet" But my all time favorite one in Quran is that stars are used as spears to keep demons away from heaven. That is hilarious. Almost as good as the sun setting in a muddy pool! 😂😂🤣🤣

[@FFGFOREVER]

@@indianmilitary I meant that Robert Spencer's Critical Qur'an is brilliant because it has honest translations and says it how it is. The footnotes are the best because they explain it all honestly and clearly too. I don't like 'normal' Qur'ans because they play it all down and try but fail to sanitise what it really says. No normal Qur'an would ever dare to be as honest as Robert Spencer. I like the part about the muddy spring at the end of the world too. Some twat tried to scare me with Sura 55 and I told him that if I was scared of it then I'd run to the muddy spring at the end of the earth just to hide from him.😂😂😂 About the shooting starts to keep demons away, I laughed the first time I heard that on Apostate Prophet's channel.

janardan singh Be specific. It is just blind belief Abrahamic religions based on monotheistic assumptions like god, heaven and hell cannot be validated by logic or experiment or embodied experience. It is the reason why eminent quantum/astro physicists rejected Abrahamic religions based on blind belief and accepted/acknowledged well validated Hindu/Vedic metaphysics ERWIN SCHRODINGER (ONE OF THE FOUNDING FATHERS OF QUANTUM MECHANICS) Schrodinger's biographer Moore wrote -- “His system - or that of the Hindu Upanishads/Vedas - is delightful and consistent: the self and the world are one and they are all. He rejected traditional western religious beliefs (Jewish, Christian, and Islamic) not on the basis of any reasoned argument, nor even with an expression of emotional antipathy, for he loved to use religious expressions and metaphors, but simply by saying that they are naïve--and will NOT understand Quantum physics and consciousness. (CONSCIOUS, IMMANENT AND OMNIPRESENT SELF = SHIVA and THOUGHTS/BODY/W0RLD/UNIVERSE = SHAKTHI OR THE INTELLIGENT ENERGY) Erwin Schrodinger wrote: “Vedanta teaches that consciousness is singular, all happenings are played out in one universal consciousness and there is no multiplicity of selves.” Albert Einstein ``Whenever I read Bhagavad Gita, everything else seems superfluous. I've made Vedas as the guide for the formation of my theories and scientific investigation" Werner Heisenberg _ (One of the pioneers in the field of quantum mechanics) - "Quantum ideas which seemed so crazy made sense only after reading hindu/vedic metaphysics" Carl Sagan (Astrophysicist) “The Hindu/Vedic tradition is the world’s greatest tradition dedicated to the idea that the cosmos itself undergoes an immense number of deaths and rebirths. It is the only tradition in which the time scales correspond no doubt to those of modern scientific cosmology. The cycles run from our ordinary day and night to a day and night of Brahma - 8.64 billion years long. It is longer than the age of the Earth, the Sun, and half the time since the Big Bang.” It also means, 'Big Bang" does not mean "one time" 'creation" of the universe (out of thin air) around 4004 BCE at 8.30 am in the morning by some transcendent god with a magic wand. 😀😀

Sangam Talk provides great platform and content for rival of Bharath and its glory, at the same time it also falls victim to Trojan Horses. While dealing with Islam is a challenge in India, alienating 200millions+ Muslim population, often larger than sum and total in most Islamic country is not in the best interest of India and its progress. Ways have to be explored to bring these converts back in the ethos of Bharat and its soul, following advises and views of western so called “scholars ” is counter productive as they always “connive” to destabilize, create chaos and civil war within nations for their “divide and conquer” strategy. Weather Republicans or Democrats all sides wants to advance American interest, which is not the interest of any other nation and particularly that of India. We have last 75+ years of geopolitical history to prove where America stands when its come to the well being of India. "Robert Spencer" wants to incite conflict between Hindus and Muslim to portray both religions are violent and intolerant in an international light and to advocate for sanctions against India for oppressing its minorities namely "Muslim, Christians etc" at the same time offer Christianity as an alternative option and convert more Indians into Abrahamic Faith. Game of "Poking the baby and swaying the cradle at the same time", Sangam Talk should screen its presenters, otherwise a platform with so much potential to do good to Bharath and its Culture would be hijacked and used for the exact opposite for its original intended purpose. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Solid Hg ~ By the end of the day, rhetorics of 'inclusiveness' notwithstanding, who is going to stand by, protect and rescue common Sanatanis (Hindus) like us against the daily onslaught of islam? The government? the constitution? The police force? The judiciary? If it wasn't for an avowed christian 'trojan horse' like Bob Spencer & his tireless work on dissecting islam & explaining its expansionist, evil machinations to common folks, my family & I would been run over by the jihadis by now. Today, as a woman I am solidly equipped to fight these cancer cells that I am surrounded with, simply because of the clarity I have on this desert cult, thanks to Bob Spencer.

Islam is the source of conflict, there is no need to incite it. Clear instructions within the book given to believers to kill heretics and unbelievers and terrorise and subdue servants and slaves. It is cowardly to incite submission just because there are many deluded by this most modern of the invented religions

I was one of the first in line to purchase this book my only disappointment is in the layout, the commentaries are all too brief and presented in the tiniest type font known to humankind.

The Quran was written and rewritten at least 300 years after Mohammed. Plus who was around in Mohammed time to scribe all the prophecies..no one. I don’t think anyone knew him. It wasn’t until centuries later that a German author wrote about him. I think there are so many different Qurans out there that they are all misquoting.

You can't be sure to get an honest and true response about Islam just because you ask a Muslim.Could you necessarily trust an answer about Marxism just because it comes from a Marxist, or a response about Putin from one of his followers? Your post is an argument from authority and thus a logical fallacy.

It's not yoga but yog and there are 4 kinds of yog as explained in rigveda and further explained in bhagvat gita and yog is not at all about exesesise . Asana are mainly to make you body fit so that you can Performa yog sadhna through meditation. Without OM yog can not be performed. It is shatmic teachings on sprituality and you can call it philosophy bit after reading bhagvat gita you can also call it a theory and thus dharam is a fusion of philosophy and theory which is Aldo explained for the masses in story telling through poetry in mythlogy form. Piller for dharam is yog which very much a hindu way and teaching which was even adopted by non hindus like jains and budhists and Sikhs but to do yog they couldn't ignore OM thus even in non hindu dharmic way yog is puller and OM is the ultimate truth.

of course they are infidels, they know Muslims are hostile and treat them as dangerous enemies

[@maxb9315]

If Spencer is 'spreading Islam', he faces an uphill task as protagonists of the faith perpetually undermine it by proclaiming 'proof' and 'miracles' which a child of eight could see are no such thing, and spouting pseudo-scientific nonsense, such as Zakir Naik assuring us that eating pork makes you behave like a pig and asserting that such an idea is scientifically grounded.

That’s like saying Zakir Naik, Ahmad Deedat, and Ali Dawah are the best sources to study Hinduism. Absolute nonsense. Read the Qur’an yourself, and see. It is truly the word of God.

[@msjpassion6477]

​@@celestialknight2339 How come then you Muslims take for granted what your so called scholars say about the Bible and Christianity? Shouldn't you use the same standards for everyone?

[@celestialknight2339]

@@msjpassion6477 Yes, you’re absolutely right. We should use the same standard. So if I want to study the Bible, I will go read the Bible myself, and see what the experts of the Bible have to say (which I do). And whatever the scholars of Islam say about the Bible, I will fact-check it myself, and not just blindly believe them. So we agree there. (And by the way-the Qur’an tells us to believe the Bible; and I have great respect for it, just as the Qur’an itself commands) The problem is however-many Muslims AND many Christians (and others) don’t do this, and hence they blindly accept whatever they hear from their “people” online, or those who already support their assumptions. Their conclusions are much more emotional than they think-and so as long as the person on the screen speaks confidently, maybe even knows a little bit of the original language (whether it’s Arabic, Greek, or Hebrew), and cherry-picks some “ancient sources” here & here: then bam, suddenly that person is somehow an expert, and we can accept everything they say. And especially if you hear it over & over enough times? You’re hooked. But it simply doesn’t work like that. We have to be more intelligent thinkers. And people like Robert Spencer are a prime example of this clever distortion. Whether intentionally or not-people like him provide a narrowly-chosen, pre-prepared, sectarian narrative that claims to be doing nothing but repeating what the greatest classical scholars say; when in reality, it is like teaching a classroom full of Russians nothing about American life & politics except the Civil War, the KKK, and Jerry Springer. All of it may have truth-but it fails to look at the bigger picture or do any justice to the reality of the situation.

[@andrewjohnson8232]

@@celestialknight2339 You're a convert, Christianity is written all over what you say. What's the bigger picture you speak of?

[@celestialknight2339]

@@andrewjohnson8232 As a matter of fact, I am not a convert. I am only affirming what the Qur’an itself teaches. And that “bigger picture”, to answer your question, is the sheer beauty & richness of the Qur’an and its profound teachings-which can easily be uncovered by simply reading the Qur’an for yourself, in an open-minded and sincere way. Read it the way it was revealed by God-without the mass of outside sources, texts, traditions, and opinions of fallible human beings (whether scholars or laymen, past or present) to influence how it is read or understood; but rather, just see what the Qur’an ITSELF has to say to you. How about starting by listening to this passage? - One that rarely gets spoken of in these online “debates” and discussions about Islam and ‘ethics’ or ‘violence’. This is Sūrah 20 of the Qur’an (titled ‘Ta-Ha’), which is primarily about the Story of Prophet Moses-but is packed with moral, ethical, and spiritual teachings about God, our purpose in life, and our meaning & destination, as well as the things expected of us as humans. Be sincere and truly willing to listen and understand, and give it a listen (and you can follow along with the English Translation provided); and just see for yourself what the Qur’an actually teaches: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5i9aoWGe9eMgas Peace.

How could a religion change its Holy Scriptures? When I read the Qu’ran it made absolutely no sense to me; now listening to Mr. Spencer, it is obvious why it was so nonsensical! I ordered a copy of Mr Spencer’s The Critical Qu’ran.
