  • this video is a bunch of garbage , ALLAHUAKBBBBAR

  • BTW the Quran has always been memorized by people from the prophet until now. So even if a false Quran or one that was F***ed was made into text, the true Quran(dictation) can never be messed up because so many people have memorized it. This is why it is unique, this makes it free from corruption. And this is also how the message can never be altered or changed.

  • Very weak arguments...similar languages share common words, but they have different meanings for each respective language. You must take the meaning of the language in which it was intended.

  • When the quran was first reveled, it was memorized by thousands of men

  • quran was preserved allahuakabar . 

  • Ha ha ha. Grapes for blowing yourself up!!

  • Taking a book, so obviously written by man, as the litteral word of an imagined beeing.. Is insane.

  • @TheJo4an ....well said....but that is the mentallity of the backward muslim faith

  • The pages shown in the video are Kufic script which is original language of the koran it is undecipherable so when it was translated into quranic arabic most of the translation had to be "made up" by the translators which is why the koran is so full of errors and contradictions as the translators did not care if it was correct or not they just tried there best to make sense of a code they knew nothing about.

  • @philipofportugal

    Kufic Arabic is Quranic Arabic you idiot. And Kufic was widely used by Arabs and "decipherable" to them. They wrote it for God's sake!! How could they write a script they culd not "decipher"? There are no "errors" or "contradictions" in the Quran. Only dots were added to make some of the letters more distinguished than others. Go read your stupid Bible which is full of scientific, historical errors and contradictions and alterations of the text.

  • @SCSA11 Kufic script is not koranic arabic the problem is reading it not writing it....there is plenty of errors and contradictions in the koran and in fact it is hard to find anything correct in the koran...and if the bible is a bad book why did the koran copy it and add more errors ?...you are a joker.

  • I'm Muslim and I have zero problem with what this German "scholar" is doing.

    Why? Because it's not going to work. He will essentially end up proving the authentic preservation of the Quran.

    In scholarship it is much more difficult to make up fake propoganda like what occurs when christian missionaries try to "analyze" the Quran

    I watched the entire video and there was nothing even remotely problematic. He'll soon have to start making stuff up if he wants to be convincing

  • @freeshyne1234 Exactly. He's doing his "Atheistic Job". He's paid for that after all.

  • Bull shit!!!

  • These "improvements" are CHANGES, because it was NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

  • My Dear Brothers, These are not changes these are just improvements for Non Native Arabs... Could anyone of you show me any EDITION of Quran as the holy Bible has (Bible has many editions and amazingly for every new century) Quran is toaday as it was 1000 yrs before. Hope you would get the answer.

  • @farrukhansari2003 Just like the bible the English editions of the Qur'an have a lot of altered editions. The Hebrewe (old testament) and Greek (new testament) Have very little changes and none in the last 1000 years

  • @farrukhansari2003 the koran has changed many times firstly there is the 7 different readings each with 2 interpretations of the vowels then there is the changes made by the people who assembled the koran then there is the translations and everytime there was errors or additions or redactions.

  • The Quran is amazing

  • I wasn't impressed by the Qur'an, the characters suck and the narrative of the story is all over the place. 1/5 stars!!!

  • @UnionGarside at least u read it but ur meant to ponder on it if u read the quran u would have found that verse i presume ur not an arab thats why its all over the place in your opinion but i agree i found it allover the place to but ur meant to ponder on the things sadi thats why when u ponder on it you will find you will rate it 5/5

  • the idea of suicide bombers getting a bowl of grapes makes me lols XDD

  • this infidels would try anything possible to alter muslims souls and make disbelievers like them. smh

  • The reason why no vowel markings or distinguishing dots are not found in the Quran shown in this video is because at that time the Arabs knew how to read the Arabic in the Quran without any vowel markings as it was their mother tongue. However when Islam spread many non-Arabs would embrace Islam and so these vowel markings or distinguishing dots where introduced so that the non-Arabs would not make mistakes when reading it as it is not their mother tongue. So NO, nothing got altered by man.

  • @ThisIsTheWay1991 no matter if the coran wasn't alterd by man , THE CORAN COME FROM SATAN ANYWAY , so with or without alteration the CORAN STILL SATANIC

  • Allah سبحانه و تعالى said,

    وَقَالُوا مَا هِيَ إِلَّا حَيَاتُنَا الدُّنْيَا نَمُوتُ وَنَحْيَا وَمَا يُهْلِكُنَا إِلَّا الدَّهْرُ ۚ وَمَا لَهُم بِذَ‌ٰلِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ ۖ إِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا يَظُنُّونَ

    And they say: "There is nothing but our life of this world, we die and we live and nothing destroys us except time. And they have no knowledge of it: they only conjecture.

  • The Koran was passed down orally, and after Muhammad's death it was gathered in texts!

  • Yes that is true... the Koran was gathered from believers and it wasn't written at the time of Muhammed, on the other hand, people who memorized it wrote it down after his death. Also, Arabic had no dots before that, which means an n sound can also be a t or th!! I took this at Islamic classes in my school, although they did not show it as if it would cause a problem in getting a precise text! .... ****Agnostic former-Muslim Palestinian***

  • Speaking as an ex-muslim; how can an oxford graduate believe in this shit! I mean wow! Humanity is stupid!

  • This is complete bulshit..

    These orientalists really dont know anything about the arab communities.

    Those societies were ORAL societies....

    Quran is like a POEM, that's why millions of Muslims learned it by heart and dont need the Text, the book...

    Dr Jamal Badawi destroys these kind of argument. I myself can see the stupidity of this kind of argument so muslims must really laugh....

  • @Logia1978 Even Tabari had a hard time finding meaning in some words, are you questioning him as well? Care to pin-point the "Bu-lsh-t"

    I dont think Islam teachs you to speak like this, does it?

  • @Logia1978 Yes. laugh at themselves for destroying their innate human curiosity and moral compass for the words of a child molesting, caravan raiding, power hungry flip flopping ,lying piece of shit.

  • May Peace Blessings of Allah Almighty be on him

  • the oldest was written in Prophet Muhammad's own life time..

    not sure about this one

  • simply to tell you that the quran found in yemen is actually a copy of a personcalled musailma who claimed to be a prophet and thus changed the quran to his liking otherwise if u check the real oriinal copy of quran from the one in egypt, cairo its still the same we have today. you people need to get your history right

  • Scope the real history of Islam free in your browser with moi and master all the key facts, see my profile.

  • : this video is a propaganda just read this its based on the syro-aramaic reading of the koran wish western Academic have been critical of his book

    source

    Google: Academic reviews The Syro-Aramaic Reading of the Koran

  • its not the oldest manuscript of the Quran

  • Allah سبحانه و تعالى said,

    تَنزِيلُ الْكِتَابِ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهِ مِن رَّبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

    The revelation of the Book (this Qur'an) in which there is no doubt is

    from the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists)!

    (Qur'an Surah as-Sajdah Ayah 2)

  • @Asqalane1405 The first thing you notice while reading the Quran is the extremely large numbers of errors and incoherence between certain Ayas !

    The Quran admits that Jesus is the Massih (The Annointed One) of God. The Elected that God Yehowah has choosen. Not Muhammad who was a mere mortal and sinner with 11 wives ! Astaghfirullah ! A3udibillahi Mina Al Shatane Rajjim !

  • O Amrruk

    Free and far far away is the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) from your ignorance and falsehood

    and free and far far away is al-Maseeh, 'Isa ibn Maryam (عليه الصلاة والسلام)

    (the Messiah, Jesus the son of Mary (upon him be blessing and peace)

    and his beloved, chaste mother from the ignorance and false you believe

  • Surely the Messiah is the Messenger of Allah and there is none co-equal or comparable unto the One who Created the heavens and earth,

    Say not: "three (trinity)!" Cease! (it is) better for you. For Allah is (the only) One Ilah (God), Glory be unto Him (Far Exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth.

  • O Amrruk

    Do good deeds in the life of this world and don't find yourself meeting your Creator with polytheism, as it is the utmost ignorance and unfortunate thing one can believe in

    and all the Messengers of God warned from it

    so don't lie about the Messengers of God

  • @Asqalane1405 But why is polytheism an unfortunate thing? If someone is a polytheist, he is not hurting anyone. Most people have been killed in the name of one God! Not in the name of many Gods.

  • O papputhegrate

    One who does polytheism, is by this action doing the greatest injustice to him/herself

    Ascribing that which solely belongs to his/her Creator to others from amongst the creation, is the greatest injustice, unthankfulness and ignorance one can do

    making others; whether it be men, carved stones, statues, animals, or matter (nature)

    equal with the Creator, is polytheism and the greatest injustice and ignorance

  • @Asqalane1405 OK OK Allah said that polytheism is bad. The question is why? How is it injustice? Why is it ignorance?

    We are setting up a rival to Allah? How?

    And if we are why is allah so insecure if he is so powerful?

  • The Messenger of Allah (صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ) said that Allah (عَزَّ وَجَلَّ) said,

    (in what would mean)

    "O My servants, you sin by night and by day, and I forgive all sins, so seek forgiveness of Me and I shall forgive you. O My servants, you will not attain harming Me so as to harm Me, and will not attain benefitting Me so as to benefit Me.

  • O My servants, were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and the jinn of you to be as pious as the most pious heart of any one man of you, that would not increase My kingdom in anything.

    O My servants, were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and the jinn of you to be as wicked as the most wicked heart of any one man of you, that would not decrease My kingdom in anything.

  • O My servants, were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and the jinn of you to rise up in one place and make a request of Me, and were I to give everyone what he requested, that would not decrease what I have, any more that a needle decreases the sea if put into it.

  • O My servants, it is but your deeds that I reckon up for you and then recompense you for, so let him finds good praise Allah and let him who finds other than that blame no one but himself."

    [Muslimm, at-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah]

  • O papputhegrate

    Allah عَزَّ وَجَلَّ is not in need of anyone, He is al-Ghani (Free from all wants, the Rich)

    al-Hameed (Worthy of all praise)

    By doing shirk (polytheism) you're just harming yourself,

  • @Asqalane1405 You are still going on saying that Allah will punish us for polytheism. This is supposedly because polytheism is bad. I am asking WHY is it so bad?

    Don't quote out of the quran, just tell me of your own thinking, why is it bad? No polytheist is harming others. The polytheists are the same humans as you. They are as successful as you, they have the same feelings and dreams. So how they harming themselves?

  • O papputhegrate

    By doing polytheism, even thoug you may not believe that the item being devouted to did not Create the universe, still

    you are ascribing the powers and attributes of your Creator to whatever it is you're calling upon, worshipping

    and by doing so you're doing a great wronging

  • O papputhegrate

    Do you believe in God?

    If so, ask your Creator for guidance sincerely

    and may Allah تعالى guide you to Islam

    surely polytheism, making equals with Allah is indeed a great wronging

  • @Asqalane1405 'surely polytheism, making equals with Allah is indeed a great wronging'

    Why? I am not hurting anyone, not stealing, not affecting anyone. So why is it wrong?

  • O papputhegrate

    It is great that you are not doing any of those bad deeds

    Polytheism and arrogance are of the worst things a person can possess in the heart

    and I hope I explained why

    the objects that are devouted to, did not create anything, they have no power of harm nor benefit, they can't grant anything, nor do they hear or know

    So making such, equal with the Creator of heavens and earth; asking them as you are suppose to ask your Creator is and enormous wronging

    do you see what I mean?

  • @Asqalane1405 'the objects that are devouted to, did not create anything, they have no power of harm nor benefit, they can't grant anything, nor do they hear or know'

    Equal with the creator? When the objects we make cannot do anything as you have said, then how are we making equals to Allah?

    And if we are not making equals, how are we doing 'enormous wronging'?

    Many people have been killed in the name of God. More in the name of one God than in the names of many Gods.

  • O papputhegrate

    Such deny Justice and Wisdom for their Creator, Subhana

    ذَ‌ٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمُ اسْتَحَبُّوا الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا

    That is because they loved and preferred the life of this world

    and because of it

    in the life of this world; accumulate bad deeds

    the heart becomes covered up, due to them not feeling no accountability and seeing death as something doubtful, while it should have made them reflect

    and heavy will their burden be, because of such mistakes

    it's a disease in the heart

  • O papputhegrate

    So what is better than telling people to not deny their Creator, to do good deeds sincerely only for the pleasure of their Creator

    and not to make equals with your Creator

    Islam would lead you to Eeman and good deeds and close to your Creator

    polytheism is that which makes you very distant from your Creator

    so consider Islam

  • "do good deeds sincerely only for the pleasure of their Creator"

    What? You don't do good things just to please your sky daddy, there are REAL pragmatic reasons to be good. If you didn't believe in god(s), you would kill everyone? Madness.

    "polytheism is that which makes you very distant from your Creator"

    Of course a monotheistic religion would say this. It's like a Ford salesman telling you that a Lexus car will make you distant from pleasure XD

  • Comment removed

  • @Asqalane1405 See, I don't believe in this Jannah neither do I believe in your Quran. Nor do I think Muhammad was a messenger, I only consider him a great leader.

    So stop talking to me about Jannah or Quran. Stop saying that because it is written in the Quran it is bad (this is what you have been saying since the beginning.)

    Besides the fact that it is forbidden in ancient books, how is polytheism wrong when I am not hurting anyone? Is there any other reason you can give me?

  • O papputhegrate

    Jannah is true and Jahannam is true

    those who deny the hereafter are of those who ascribe deficiency unto their Creator

    it is the hearts that will be examined on the of Resurrection

    وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِي الصُّدُورِ

    And that which is inside the chests is made known

  • O papputhegrate

    Allah سبحانه و تعالى said,

    That Ibraahim (عليه السلام) (Abraham) said,

    قَالَ أَتَعْبُدُونَ مَا تَنْحِتُونَ - وَاللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ

    He said: "Do you worship that which you (yourselves) carve?

    While Allah has created you and what you make!''

    (Qur'an Surah as-Saaffat Ayat 95-96)

  • @Asqalane1405

    "O papputhegrate"

    O spammer

    Do you not realise that you will not sell your religion by dumping pamphlets in peoples letter boxes, but by rational discourse?

    O spammer

    I quote men who speak honestly, but not those men pretending to know the mind of god(s) (Moohammad, Moses, Jesus, etc)?

    “Nothing is permanent in this wicked world – not even our troubles.” Charlie Chaplin

  • @Asqalane1405 Can you do anything more than quote from the Quran?

  • @papputhegrate if you believing in the Qur'an with all your heart and soul You can healing anything. you can lift and move anything. You can even walk to thru fire if you was trap in one. the Qur'an can protect you from anything. if you read and resist it right and follow it correctly, righteously and believing in its messages, It will give you knowledge behind the education that mankind have to give to us. read for yourself

  • @lassinad51 If what you said is all true, then the Muslim majority and Islamic nations of the world should have been the best in the world! Unfortunately, it is not so. The best nations of the world are Sweden, Japan, Norway etc. which have a large percentage of atheists!

  • @papputhegrate : i hope u get a hidayah..yo how about USA with largest Percentage of crishtian and Turk With the Islam,are they are not one of the greatest nation of the world??and how about with indonesia or the arab nation?they are got a lots of resources

  • @rulanoz I have already got a hidayah, you need one. More than a hidayah, you need a brain. USA is not a Muslim majority or Islamic country. Indonesia is a developing country and the arabs, in spite of all the resources are not the best of nations. Japan, Sweden, Norway are the best of countries, and they have majority atheists. A simple thing that your little brain refuses to understand!

  • @papputhegrate who says america is muslim majority,i sayin america with largest Percentage of crishtian ...of course a resources is the high thing that a country must have,i think u should check ur brain

  • It was related by Hudhaifa (رضى الله عنه),

    that the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said,

    تُعْرَضُ الْفِتَنُ عَلَى الْقُلُوبِ كَالْحَصِيرِ عُودًا عُودًا

    "The trials (tests) are offered to the hearts, just as the straws that are sewn into a woven mat, one after another.... "[Muslim]

  • @Asqalane1405 Can you do anything more than quote from the Quran and the Hadiths and the Sira?

  • Jabir bin Abdullah (رضى الله عنه) reported that Allah's Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) happened to walk through the bazar coming from the side of 'Aliya and the people were on both his sides. There he found a dead lamb with very short ears. He took hold of his ear and said:

    "Who amongst you would like to have this for a Dirham? They said: We do not like to have it even for less than that as it is of no use to us. He said: Do you wish to have it?

  • They said: "By Allah, even if it were alive (we would not have liked to possess that), for there is detect in it as its ear is very short; now it is dead also."

    Thereupon Allah's Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said:

    فَوَاللَّهِ لَلدُّنْيَا أَهْوَنُ عَلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ هَذَا عَلَيْكُمْ

    By Allah, this world is more insignificant in the Sight of Allah as it is in your eye." [Muslim]

  • O papputhegrate

    Wealth is something Allah سبحانه و تعالى bestows upon people to test them thereby

    Material gains brings not rest to the heart. And evaluating truth thereby is not truth

    One should be grateful for the good one has and help the those less fortunate with it

    and Allah عز و جل says, أَلَا بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ الْقُلُوبُ

    ..Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest..

    (Qur'an Surah ar-Ra'd Ayah 28)

  • O you

    Allah تعالى‎ said

    إِن تَدْعُوهُمْ لَا يَسْمَعُوا دُعَاءَكُمْ وَلَوْ سَمِعُوا مَا اسْتَجَابُوا لَكُمْ ۖ وَيَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَكْفُرُونَ بِشِرْكِكُمْ ۚ وَلَا يُنَبِّئُكَ مِثْلُ خَبِيرٍ

    If you invoke (or call upon) them, they hear not your call; and if (in case) they were to hear, they could not grant it (your request) to you. And on the Day of Resurrection, they will disown your worshipping them. And none can inform you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) like Him Who is the All-Knower.

    Narrated by 'Abdullah (ibn Mas'ud) (رضى الله عنه):

    I asked the Prophet ( صلى الله عليه وسلم), "What is the greatest sin in the Sight of Allah?"

    He said, ‏"‏ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ لِلَّهِ نِدًّا وَهْوَ خَلَقَكَ

    "That you set up a rival unto Allah though He Alone created you."

    I said, "That is indeed a great sin...." [Bukhari]

  • Allah سبحانه و تعالى said,

    وَإِذَا مَسَّكُمُ الضُّرُّ فِي الْبَحْرِ ضَلَّ مَن تَدْعُونَ إِلَّا إِيَّاهُ ۖ فَلَمَّا نَجَّاكُمْ إِلَى الْبَرِّ أَعْرَضْتُمْ ۚ وَكَانَ الْإِنسَانُ كَفُورًا

    And when harm touches you upon the sea, those that you call upon vanish from you except Him. But when He brings you safe to land, you turn away. And man is ever ungrateful.

    (Qur'an Surah al-Israa' Ayah 67)

  • @Asqalane1405 Muhammad was no Messenger (has revealed new messages) nor a Prophet (has never declared a prophecy that had accomplished) neither a Man of God except maybe of Shaytan. Muhammad did not even respect the Torah Laws or the Laws of Jesus teaching.

    He was a ruthless and blood-thirsty sinner false prophet !

  • and regarding the finding its not the oldest, Uthman version is. this work is equivalent of fox TV shame they forgotten to use naked women!

  • What makes me laugh is if the west cannot understand it then there is some things wrong, who gave them the right to judge. Now they are going to tell us muslims what is our religion is. as of these so called idiot researchers using their stupid method to re intrepet the Holy Qur'an, thats just pathetic its like saying lets intrepret english using french, what a pathetic attempt to discredit Islam.

  • obviously just another western orientalist attack against Islam, on one hand their western military crusade against muslim world and on the other against islam. And History is proof of it how the west has always been the enemy of islam.

  • Comment removed

  • It is well known that the first manuscripts of the Quran were written without vowel marks or arabic consonant dots. This is because Islamically, there are atleast 7 different ways to recite the Quran, with different rules for consonant placements.

    In fact there is a manuscript written well before this one ordered by Uthman Ibn Affan RadhiAllahu Anhu, without the mentioned dots. Al-Waleed came much later.

    wikipedia: Uthman_Quran

    I think you need to do more research.

  • @theottoman786 Furthermore, by consensus of >1400 years of Islamic scholarship, a written copy of the Quran was never the standard for its presentation. Preservation was always passed down through rigorously established chains of transmission through memorization through multiple chains of recitation.

  • @theottoman786 "was never the standard for its presentation"

    Meant *preservation* - not presentation.

  • @Asqalane1405 How does it feel to know that the Quran is not the Word of God and is a bad plagiarism of the Holy Bible !?

  • O Amrruk

    Allah سبحانه و تعالى says,

    وَمَا كُنتَ تَتْلُو مِن قَبْلِهِ مِن كِتَابٍ وَلَا تَخُطُّهُ بِيَمِينِكَ ۖ إِذًا لَّارْتَابَ الْمُبْطِلُونَ

    Neither did you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) read any book before it (this Qur'an), nor did you write any book (whatsoever) with your right hand. In that case, indeed, the followers of falsehood might have doubted.

    (Qur'an Surah al-Ankabut Ayah 48)

  • @Asqalane1405 Surat Al Anqaboot 29:27: "And We gave (Abraham) Isaac and Jacob, and ordained among his progeny Prophethood and Revelation, and We granted him his reward in this life; and he was in the Hereafter (of the company) of the Righteous."

    The Messianic and Prophetic line came through the seed of Abraham with his wife Sarah, Itshaac and through Yaaqob not through Ishmael the son of an Egyptian slave.

    Wake up ! The Quran is full of lies, contradictions and corrupted ! 

  • And the thing about the grapes. ok cool story. theres a chance that the dots are in the wrong place. and it means grapes. Oh wow look grapes are everywhere in manmade christianity. CONNECTION???

    see how silly that sounds even IF it was true?

  • @hyperion5000 It sounds silly to me whatever the reward is. Point is, the Koran is not and never was stable and early writings prove that.

  • @NoFaithNoPain you wrong, if you don't study arab language history, how is develloped you will understand it, but i can read the old writing.

  • @ahmrou82 Did you read the text from the Oman Mosque? There are many scholars who tell me otherwise. The Koran has only been stable since the Cairo text was established. Salman Rushdie certainly hit a nerve didn't he...

  • @NoFaithNoPain

    The problem is that you absolutely dont know that the Quran was memorized by heart at that society which was an ORAL society.

    They dont need the text, the BOOK!

  • @Logia1978 I absolutely know that there were many versions of the Koran/Quran and memory by heart without a guiding text is notoriously innacurate. This is why us Kuffar laugh at silly muslims who think the Koran is stable and accurate.

  • Comment removed

  • @ingehs You can certainly learn something accurately orally. You can't keep complex stories stabe over large numbers of people and over generations without text to refer back to. There is EVIDENCE of a changing Quran, I don't need to argue. My argument is not destroyed in seconds I am afraid. Your Quran is still wrong, and frankly a bit silly. I suggest you go to the web page of the council of Ex Muslims to guide you in your wobbling faith.

  • @NoFaithNoPain There is no point arguing with you when you have drawn your conclusions without conducting research. This kind of research is not acceptable. You can carry on large amounts of stories to next generations without a text if and only if the stories are in Quranic Arabic. Your argument is true for all other languages except Aramaic languages. There is a reason Arabs used to call Non-Arabic people ''mute''.

  • @NoFaithNoPain I laugh at the council of ex-muslims who feel they need to tell the world they had renounced their faith. I never see other people leaving their religions and rejoicing on it on a website and telling the world. Funny. They themselves are wobbling in their faith.

    Secondly Quran is not mine, i am not copyright holder of Quran. Correct yourself.

  • @ingehs I am afraid I have conducted a lot of research. You have only seen what the crazy Islamic scholars tell you. The Council of Ex Muslims have to form a council to help others because the penalty for apostacy is death!

  • @NoFaithNoPain You have conducted research? Good for you, but to engage in an argument you can't just say ''I have done lot of research''. You need to show your research. The penalty for apostasy is not death. Where it is? Prove it if have done lot of research.

  • @ingehs If you do not know the penalty is death it is you who has to prove it to me you have done research

  • @NoFaithNoPain I renounced what you said first that penalty of apostasy is death so the burden is on you to prove the penalty is death. Wait a second, penalty is secondary, apostasy is not even a crime.

  • @NoFaithNoPain The one thing I know about Muslims is their utter dishonesty when interpreting the Koran and the Hadiths. The Hadiths are fine to tell you that you must prey five times a day or as the basis for Sharia but when you want to deny the unpleasant nonsense in your faith you say the Hadiths are untrustworthy. There is no Muslim Pope so you can interpret your faith any way you want. If you go to a Muslim country they will soon show you the error of your ways.

  • @NoFaithNoPain Try to understand he difference. Praying 5 times a day is derived from hadith not Quran, correct but there is no denial of praying 5 times in Quran hence no clash between hadith and Quran.

    In the case of apostasy, Hadiths sanction apostasy but Quran says otherwise, so there is big clash.

    We know hadiths explain Quran, not contradict Quran. So if any hadith contradicts Quran, we reject it. Hadith is only recorded form of man's words, recorded by erroneous men.

  • @ingehs I understand the difference perfectly. The Koran says many contradictory things, so what it has to say about Apostacy is irrelevant, especially since you can interpret the Koran how you like. Muslim countries under Sharia disagree with you on the pealty for apostacy so who is right? Islam is, as Muslims do, not what they variously claim what the Koran says.

  • @NoFaithNoPain I can see, don't think that if you can interpret Quran bad (which you are good at) Muslims will do tha same. It aint going to happen, never ever.

    Quran says nothing about apostasy. FULL STOP, you want to believe in the Quran or narrations of hadith by an erroneous human? Which text is more sacred Quran or Bukhari?

    Secondly, don't tell me muslim countries do this and that. Muslim countries economy is based on charging interest which against Quran, so that means...

  • @ingehs First you say Apostacy is opposed in the Quran, then you say the Quran says nothing about it. First logical failure. In fact since you say YOURSELF that the Hadiths are believed unless the Quran opposes it, if the Quran says nothing about Apostacy then by YOUR OWN LOGIC Sahih al-Bukhari, 9:83:17 and Sahih al-Bukhari, 9:84:57 are to be believed and the penalty is death. You are completely pwned.

  • @NoFaithNoPain So for you comments made by a person whose first language is not english and whose description of one subject differ because his vocabulary is limited is an acceptable reason for you to believe he is losing the argument? Is English standard of truth these days?

    Bukhari was ONE person compiling sayings of prophet on his own. Quran was compiled by hundreds of muslim in a major state funded project.

    Difference is clear..

  • @NoFaithNoPain Moreover, no muslim can memorize Bukhari. Quran and only Quran is the exception, the unchanging word of God.

    So yes, we can trust the memories of hundreds of muslims who memorized the Quran 1st hand.

  • @NoFaithNoPain "There is no compulsion in religion" <---that is the Ayah upon which the belief that it is against Islam to force someone to become, or remain, a Muslim. If I were you this would be the point at which I would say something childish like, "you are completely pwned". Please grow up and learn to debate with people without trying to act superior. That is actually a very theistic personality trait. :P

  • @boffan1988 What a hypocrytical reply. I responded with the same bad will he gave to me and although not my politest moment it stands as a fact that his logic was completely defeated. That Ayah does not stand regarding Apostasy since it only applies to initial choice of religion. The Koran DOES advocate compulsion anyway and is totally contradictory. People right now are being killed by Muslims for being apostates and yet you are denying it. That is like being a holocaust denier.

  • @NoFaithNoPain First of all, my apologies as I did not read the post in which he was being rude to you.

  • @NoFaithNoPain "That Ayah does not stand regarding Apostasy since it only applies to initial choice of religion." <---According to whom?

  • @NoFaithNoPain "The Koran DOES advocate compulsion anyway and is totally contradictory." <---verses please?

  • @boffan1988 ""The Koran DOES advocate compulsion anyway and is totally contradictory." <---verses please?" Sorry, not playing the scripture game, done that, been there, it would have us arguing all day. If you want to look yourself then look up the Jizya. If that is not just one example ofo tacit compulsion then I don't know what is.

  • @NoFaithNoPain If you are going to make a claim, I have the right to refute it and it would be hypocritical of you to not at least read my rebuttal, no? So my response to this claim about the Jizya is coming next...

  • @boffan1988 You can refute it as much as you want. I just said I wasn't playing the scriptures game, because scripture can be interpreted how you like.

  • @NoFaithNoPain "because scripture can be interpreted how you like." <---Of course it can. So why do you cite one interpretation(an extremist one) over liberal interpretations? Oh, we know why...because citing extremist interpretations serves your ideological agenda. Once again, we are seeing behavior from atheists eerily similar to the behavior from fundamentalist theists that they claim to abhor.

  • @boffan1988 I quote the extreme ones because the enemies of peace, knowledge and reason use them. Since the Koran is a floored book and is obviously the work of man not God then it is important that people like me go out and tell the truth so people can hear both sides of the argument before converting to a religion based upon a fundamental falsehood.

  • @NoFaithNoPain Jizya is mentioned in one place in the Qur'an: This verse in 9-29 is claimed to be the verse that approved offensive Jihad and the collection of taxes by Muslim authorities against non Muslims. So what does the Quran say?(CONT'D)

  • @NoFaithNoPain Wahhabism/Salafism is a cancer upon the Islamic faith. Regardless of the fact that it is unfortunately mainstream in Islam today, it is still wrong. I am a Sufi and according to Saudi Arabia's Wahhabi scholars, I am an apostate. :) Chill out.

  • @boffan1988 On this I agree. I am all for a milder Islam since it will be impossible to stamp Islam out completely - we have to work with it rather than against it all the time.

  • @NoFaithNoPain Why would you want to "stamp out" anything, though? I don't want to stamp out atheism. The person I am closest to in this world, my uncle, is a militant atheist. Muhammad(peace be upon him)'s uncle, Abu Talib, never converted to Islam. Yet he was the Prophet's close confidant and protector.

  • @boffan1988 "Why would you want to "stamp out" anything, though? " Why would you not want to stamp out all forms of stupidity, ignorance and repression? Religion is all of those.

  • @NoFaithNoPain I don't go around calling atheism any of that. Atheists like you are no better than religious extremists.

  • @NoFaithNoPain The Islamic Golden age was nothing of the sort. Just slightly better than what the Christians were up to at the time. How quickly we resort to that primitive time as an example of how great Islam is. If you want to interpret the Koran to suggest the Earth is NOT flat then you are welcome. You would be wrong though and you just start to look silly trying.

  • @NoFaithNoPain You're such a hypocrite! You're as sanctimonious and full of shit as religious fundamentalists are. All you do is empower them.

  • @boffan1988 "Muhammad(peace be upon him)'s uncle, Abu Talib, never converted to Islam. Yet he was the Prophet's close confidant and protector." Well, these kinds of double standards from the Charlatain Muhammed are not unknown. I do hope you are not using the "Hadith" as a reference here, because we all know how terribly untrustworthy those are (whenever it suits you).

  • @NoFaithNoPain The Hadith are very questionable. Some Muslims don't believe in them at all. Myself, I only accept a Hadith when it is in full agreement with the Qur'an and expands upon a topic already mentioned in the Qur'an. A great example is prayer. The Qur'an commands Muslims to pray daily but does not instruct as to how. The details of how to pray are in the Hadith. (CONT'd)

  • @NoFaithNoPain It's not cherry picking. There has been conflicting jurisprudence on how to interpret and accept Hadith as authentic for centuries. Religion is very personal and it's only natural that there are a myriad of interpretations; that is a good thing, in my opinion. During the Islamic Golden Age there were over 9,000 madhabs(schools of interpretation). (CONT'd)

  • @boffan1988 Of course its not Cherry picking. If you don't like the Hadith, then say it conflicts with the Koran which is interpreted how you like. If you do like the Hadith its genuine, then reinterpret the conflicting verse so it does not contradict. Perfect! If a Quranic verse looks dodgy then its out of context. If a verse is more moderate than you want then it is abrogated. Not cherry picked at all.

  • @NoFaithNoPain The problem with Islam over the last few centuries is that it became closed to the wide variety of interpretation you had in the early days. Christianity went through a similar period that we in the West now refer to as the dark ages. On the one hand, you talk about wanting a more moderate Islam then you turn around and try to undercut liberals like myself by saying that our liberal interpretation is intellectually dishonest.

  • @boffan1988 "On the one hand, you talk about wanting a more moderate Islam then you turn around and try to undercut liberals like myself by saying that our liberal interpretation is intellectually dishonest. " Actually you have a good point there. Unfortunately, I can not accept faulty reasoning or condone it even though it is much preferable to the Saudi Wahabi schools of viciousness that I have experienced first hand.

  • @NoFaithNoPain Man, I am sorry you experienced whatever you did. I'm a Sufi, so they'd string me up, too. lol. You have to realize, though, it's RELIGION. IT's ALL personal interpretation of texts which are, frankly, very vague and open to interpretation. It's both the great strength and great weakness of organized religion. As long as human beings are mortal and face death, religion isn't going anywhere. I rediscovered my faith in dealing with my father's death. (CONT'd)

  • "IT's ALL personal interpretation of texts which are, frankly, very vague and open to interpretation."

    This is why religion and science cannot intermingle.

    "As long as human beings are mortal and face death, religion isn't going anywhere."

    If 1 person can shed religious superstition, why can't a million, or a billion? We have a billion non-believers, people in Iceland and Norway who don't believe yet aren't afraid of death- they embrace the truth and live life.

    Why can't you?

  • And the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said,

    كُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ لِمَا خُلِقَ لَهُ

    "Everybody will find easy to do such deeds as will lead him to his destined place for which he has been created."

    وَقَالَ مُوسَىٰ إِنِّي عُذْتُ بِرَبِّي وَرَبِّكُم مِّن كُلِّ مُتَكَبِّرٍ لَّا يُؤْمِنُ بِيَوْمِ الْحِسَابِ

    Musa (Moses) said: "Verily I seek refuge in my Lord and your Lord from every arrogant who believes not in the Day of Accountability!"

  • @TurboDally It's irrational to me NOT to fear death. Don't you want to see your loved ones again, my brother? You're probably young and have not lost someone you can't live without. I'm young, too but I have dealt with more death in my lifetime than 90% of people my age.
