The truth about the Qur'an

Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 52, Number 233 :
Narrated by 'Abdullah bin 'Umar: Allah's Apostle forbade the people to travel to a hostile country carrying (copies of) the Quran. Quran 2:3-Those who believe in the unseen and keep up prayer and spend out of what We have given them (abrogated-Mansukh). Quran 9:103-Take alms out of their property, you would cleanse them and purify them thereby, and pray for them; surely your prayer is a relief to them; and Allah is Hearing, Knowing (abrogator-Nasikh). This is just one example of abrogation, there are a lot more, you can look it up on WikiIslam. The Myth:

Muhammad Raided Meccan
Caravans to Retrieve Stolen Property

The Truth:

After his eviction by the Meccans, Muhammad and his Muslims found refuge many miles away in Medina where they were not being bothered by their former adversaries. Despite this, Muhammad sent his men on seven unsuccessful raids against Meccan caravans before finally finding one, whereupon they murdered the driver and plundered the contents. This particular caravan was especially vulnerable because the attack came during the holy months, when the merchants were least expecting it due to the generally agreed upon rule that the tribes of the area would not attack each other during that time: [A Muslim raider] who had shaved his head, looked down on them [the Meccan caravan], and when they saw him they felt safe and said, "They are pilgrims, you have nothing to fear from them." (Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 424)

The shaved head caused the Muslims to look like pilgrims rather than raiders, which instilled a false sense of security in the drivers. However, Islam was a different sort of religion than what the Meccans were used to: [The Muslim raiders] encouraged each other, and decided to kill as many as they could of them and take what they had. Waqid shot Amr bin al-Hadrami with an arrow and killed him... (Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 425)

According to Ibn Kathir, the Muslims living in Mecca did not dispute that their brethren in Medina had killed, captured and stolen from the Quraish, but they were reluctant to accept that this had occurred during the sacred months: The Quraysh said that Muhammad and his Companions violated the sanctity of the Sacred Month and shed blood, confiscated property and took prisoners during it. Those who refuted them among the Muslims who remained in Makkah replied that the Muslims had done that during the month of Sha`ban (which is not a sacred month). (Ibn Kathir)

Faced with to losing face by admitting his error, Muhammad went into his tent and then later emerged with a convenient and timely revelation from Allah that provided retroactive permission for the raid (and, of course sanctioned the stolen possessions for his own use): They ask you concerning the sacred month about fighting in it. Say: Fighting in it is a grave matter, and hindering (men) from Allah's way and denying Him, and (hindering men from) the Sacred Mosque and turning its people out of it, are still graver with Allah, and persecution is graver than slaughter (Qur'an 2:217)

Notice that the Qur'an does not say that the Meccans were guilty of killing Muslims, only that they were "persecuting" them by preventing them from the 'sacred mosque' (the Kaaba). The killing of the Meccan driver by the Muslims was the first deadly encounter between the two adversaries. This is of acute embarrassment to contemporary Muslim apologists, who like to say that Islam is against killing for any reason other than self-defense.

Sahih Bukhari, 59:713-Narrated 'Aisha:The Prophet in his ailment in which he died, used to say,''O 'Aisha! I still feel the pain caused by the food I ate at Khaibar, and at this time, I feel as if my aorta is being cut from that poison''. Quran 69:44-46- And if he (Muhammad) had forged a false saying concerning Us (Allah). We surely would have seized him by the right hand (or with power and might), And then We certainly would have cut off his life artery (aorta). "I have fabricated things against God and have imputed to Him words which He has not spoken." Muhammad (Al-Tabari 6:111).

The freedom of religion is allowing Islam to expand into the western democracies. I think it needs to be recognized as a political system not a religion. We created a catch 22 once Islam grows they set up sharia law. I think we all need to wake up.

@mattamal1 You got that right, especially those far left liberal ass clowns need to wake up.

@SuperShia786 1)During Abu Bakr's election, Ali remained in Muhammad's house in order to prepare the funeral. He did not give allegience to Abu Bakr until six months later when his wife died; this may be due to Fatima's quarrel with Abu Bakr over her inheritance. Cont. below

@SuperShia786 2)According to Muslim chronicles, Ali was a trusted advisor of the first three caliphs on legal matters; however, with regard to administrative and political matters, Ali disagreed vehemently with his predecessors, and during Uthman's reign (644-656) he aligned himself with the opposition. Cont. below

@SuperShia786 3)His failure to punish Uthman's murderers after his accession in 656 provoked outrage. Ali was first faced with a rebellion headed by two of his former supporters and one of Muhammad's former wives, then with the refusal of the governor of Syria, Muawiya, to pledge allegiance to the new caliph. The first was ended in 656, while the second resulted in a stalemate which caused many of his supporters to abandon him; these seceders became known as Kharijites. Cont. below

@SuperShia786 4)Ali was killed by a Kharijite in 661. Ali's supporters after Uthman's death were known as the shi`at Ali, the party of Ali, or Shi`a for short. The Shi`a revere Ali as the first rightful religious and political leader (imam) after Muhammad. Both Shi`ite and Sunni tradition portray Ali as a courageous and extremely pious man.

@kuttenkijker How do these Holy verses proof your fanatic criticisms?

[SuperShia786]

@kuttenkijker You don't even know about Shiite Islam do you mate?

Just because the Sunni's are the majority, it doesn't mean that they are necessarily right.

Go do some research mate

@SuperShia786 All you people do is deny everything, but you never give an explanation. You can't or don't want to tell me how the Quran is constructed. It's a deceitful book, that's what it is. The Surahs aren't in chronological order.
