You know why most people dont know these answers? Because no one fucking cares. They dont need to care. All they need to do is get out of bed every morning and go to work. Pay taxes, pay your bills, no one asks anything more than that of anyone. Thats why SMART people dont vote. All politicians are liars and have their own hidden agendas. Voting enables a crook to fatten his wallet, at the citizens expense. Fuck you and give me my paycheck. Dont ask me to do anything more to aid your agenda.

Houston America IS a PROBLEM! LMFAO

You failed to answer my simple challege of explaining how the verses that refer to divorce entitlements can be explained. How do you end up with more than what you began with?

This is just one very basic example. Why should I challenge you with something more when you can even give a simple explanation here.

There is no loss here muslim. Only you avoiding my question. If you can't provide a simple answer then get lost. You are of no use to anybody.

39:4 is reaffirming the Power of His will - reassuring us He has nothing equal to Him- a distinction us from Him - Note He stated "If"

Here I'll let the Qur'aan continue to refute you. Enjoy !

An-Nisa [4:107]

Al-Araf [7:89]

Al-Anfal [8:49]

At-Taubah [9:4]

I would love to continue yet destiny will not permit. History has just repeated itself. Your creed has no trust.

You have written more than one comment. You have broken the agreement. You forfeit loss.

Al-Anfal [8:56]

which adds up to more than the available estate.

allah can have a son. sura 39:4

allah can't have a son. sura 6:101, and 25:2

[mysticgatekeeper]

sura 96:1-2 allah made man from a blood clot. But in sura 21:30 it says man was made from water. sura 15:26 says man was made from clay. Which is it?

allah can't count:

Sura 4:11-12 and 4:176 state the koranic inheritance law. When a man dies, and is leaving behind three daughters, his two parents and his wife, they will receive the respective shares of 2/3 for the 3 daughters together, 1/3 for the parents together [both according to verse 4:11] and 1/8 for the wife [4:12]

Don't be pointing your finger at others until you clear up the contradictions found in your koran.

Here are just a few for you to explan:

muhammad claimed that he was the very first to bow to allah and the very first muslim EVER. How can adam be the first muslim then? How can abraham be a muslim then?

Who was the FIRST muslim?

alcohol: satan's handiwork. (5:90, also 2:219). in paradise are rivers of wine (47:15, also 83:22,25). How does satan's handiwork get into paradise?

If you break down the word Allaah. Al means the - laah means God. The God. The Qur'aan is the only book that states that Allaah is the One. Or in your grammatical understanding God is One. No other book states that Allaah is One God. All of the rest of the books have many contradictions that nullify their principles.

[mysticgatekeeper]

Show me your videos please. I'd love to see one. Where can I find them?

You failed to answer my question (challenge). Prove any one of my videos wrong if you can and I will appologize here on this forum.

Who exactly are you refering to here? You say God or is it allah? Which one?

[LearnToReadTheKuran]

@mysticgatekeeper

Yeah ... your videos seem not to get many views....

koran has massive undeniable errors .... How is what you quoted a massive error ? Or even an error ? If one is to believe in the Qur'an than you believe in the afterlife. This is what entire Qur'aan talks about ! Worshiping the One God and the afterlife ! You fail to to realize the books that were sent down with the previous Prophets where all from the same One God. The same One that warns His slaves about the afterlife.

I'll make life much easier for you. I've made numerous videos challenging muslims to provide PROOF that I have lied about anything I have presented in these videos. To date, not one muslims has ever provided anything other than vulgarity and unprovable "facts". If you can prove just one of my videos wrong with 100% validity then you will have proven that I am a complete liar and deserve to be laughed at and mocked. Here is your big chance to prove how right islam is. Your move.

First and fore most nothing needs to defend Islaam. Islaam defends itself. Second, if you are up for a debate than I will accept the challenge only on certain conditions.

1- Neither will write more than one comment at a time until the latter responds. I write one comment than you respond with one comment.

2- No derogatory language or insults.

Any one that violates any of these conditions will automatically forfeit loss.

Do you accept ?
