By SALIM MANSUR, Toronto Sun
There comes a point at which diminishing returns on most issues begin to go negative.
Such a point in denouncing Islamist terrorism and equally the Muslim majority’s silence against this menace was reached sometime ago.
As Islamist terrorism, however despicable, became mundane occurrence in the daily news cycle, the deafening silence of Muslims — except for lonely voices of feeble opposition — has given credence to growing numbers of non-Muslims that Islam is as much a religion of peace as the Klanmen’s politics is an expression of multiculturalism.
But there is another side to this abject reality. The Muslim majority’s silence is greatly compounded by the appeasement mentality in the West of the mainstream liberal-left media, politicians trolling for ethnic votes and bureaucrats running public institutions.
An evidence of this comes from Scotland. Theodore Dalrymple, a retired physician and prolific writer, in New York’s City Journal reports:
“In an effort to ensure that no Muslim doctors ever again try to bomb Glasgow Airport, bureaucrats at Glasgow’s public hospitals have decreed that henceforth no staff may eat lunch at their desks or in their offices during the holy month of Ramadan, so that fasting Muslims shall not be offended by the sight or smell of their food. Vending machines will also disappear from the premises during that period.”
It is as if more diversity training for public officials, more accommodation of demands made by fundamentalist Muslims, greater willingness to self-flagellate for sins long past of western colonialism, more policing of what might be politically incorrect speech and writing about Islamists or Saudi Arabia’s official cult (Wahhabism) of bigotry masquerading as a world religion, will somehow mysteriously translate into taming suicide-bombers and their masters to reciprocate kindly to the liberal-left sensibilities of people in the West.
Dalrymple observes stories such as the one from Scotland tell us something about how civilizations commit suicide — they “collapse not because the barbarians are so strong, but because they themselves are so morally enfeebled.”
What do barbarians do? Kill indiscriminately as in the recent Aug. 14 massacre in northern Iraq reported by the New York Post with the headline “Savages Kill 175 in Iraq Bombings.”
Four trucks were exploded west of Mosul — Iraq’s third largest city in the Kurdish north — in an area predominantly inhabited by Yazidis, a people practising pre-Islamic faith. The toll of dead and wounded among this poor dwindling minority living at the edge of the Iraqi society far exceeds the numbers first reported.
This savagery is the work of al-Qaida associates preparing more predictable bombings ahead of the mid-September report in Washington to be given by Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. commander in Iraq.
BOMBINGS AND OPINION
There is now a pattern in al-Qaida bombings arranged to influence American public opinion during key moments in public policy debates and general elections.
But the liberal-left media, such as the New York Times, remains fixated with faulting the Bush administration for the savagery of Islamists while providing oxygen to apologists of terror spinning their endless refrain of “root cause” being oil and Israel for violence originating in the Middle East.
How morally enfeebled, as Dalrymple opines, is the West? Imagine the uproar denouncing any suggestion that the mainstream liberal-left media, in appearance at least, is treasonous on side with the newest enemies of freedom and democracy.
Dear bill:
Thanks.
We need 1.2 billion more like Prof Mansur.
Larry
In my dealings with Salim Mansur, he left me with the impression that Islam can be what you want it to be. In other words that he could take from it what pleased him and reject what didn’t. His values embrace womens rights, human rights, Israel and tolerance. Thus he rejects much of Islam or at least the Koran if you think they are not one and the same.
I do not know if he prays five times a day and follows other prescribed rituals.
So to my understanding He could not be considered “devout”, nor could it be said that he has reconciled the irreconcilable.
But there is no question that he is a brave democrat. He does not dispute that the bad parts of the Koran exist and he denounces those that embrace them. Thus he rejects the evil and the “evil doers” as Bush would have it.
Larry
I think you falsely accuse Mansur. To my mind he rises to the challenge. He believes that he can fight the bad and remain a Muslim. Thus embrace Islam as a religion of peace and reject it as a religion of war. You , on the other hand deny him the option by writing
It is not up to Mansur to remove these things from the Koran but to denounce them. And this he does.
Mansur and people like him say they are democrats first and Muslims second. This is a great starting point.
Bill is quite right to say,
Quoting from Bill –
“Prof. Mansur has distinguished himself an important advocate for unified Western sanity and strength to meet and defeat the evils and insanity of radical Islam.â€
But this is exactly the problem we face with Islam and people like Prof Mansur.
150,000 % of all Muslims believe the Koran is the divine word of God – the laws of God.
The Koran remains for all Muslims, not just “fundamentalists,” the uncreated word of God Himself. It is valid for all times and places; its ideas are absolutely true and beyond all criticism. To question it is to question the very word of God, and hence blasphemous. A Muslim’s duty is to believe it and obey its divine commands.
There is no such a creature as – radical Islam. The Koran is Islam. What we must demand of the Prof is an iron clad declaration that – THE KORAN IS NOT THE DIVINE WORD OF GOD. THE TEACHINGS OF THE KORAN ARE NOT THE LAWS OF GOD.
“They also serve who only stand and watch?” In the Muslim world you are “moderate” if you stand by and say nothing when innocents are murdered in your name so long as you don’t do the killing yourself? Well, if so, then “moderate” Muslims are as useful to those being murdered by Muslims as the “good” Germans were to those being murdered by the Nazis.
If Christians or Jews were murdering people, would those who said nothing but did not participate directly in the killing be called “moderates?” “Moderates” are those who enable others to do nasty things for which they, the “moderates” disavow any knowledge or responsibility.
So called moderate Muslims like the Prof. by not challenging the evil of Islam – who do not renounce, and denounce all violence in the Koran WITHOUT EQUIVATION are, by leaving these violent and abhorrent teachings in the Koran, in effect saying that these teachings are NORMAL. They are acquiescing to evil. Once you accommodate evil, you lose your moral center and become willingly or unwillingly an accomplice to evil. You cannot be a Good Muslim – pray 5 times a day etc – and ignore the evil – the moral black hole that lies at very the heart of Islam.
We can no longer allow Peace Loving Muslims to declare Islam as a religion of Peace and Love and tolerance etc while leaving in the Koran and Islamic texts -teachings of terror, death and destruction, subrogation of women, intolerance, hate etc. We can no longer allow these Muslims to live in a fantasy world of an ALLAH of all Goodness and Muhammad – The Prophet of Peace while the Koran contains teachings of a hateful, murderous ALLAH – the ANTI ALLAH. By demanding that Peace Loving Muslims prove that they are Truly Peace Loving – by removing these evil teachings from the Koran – will be a TRUE MOMENT OF CATHARSIS FOR ISLAM.

Thanks Bill for that background.
On CCD some months back I had an exchange with Prof. Salim Mansur. I posed a number of questions to him about some of the teachings that we find troubling in the Koran.
While Prof. Mansur did not provide me with direct answers to my quesitons, the answers he did give suggested to me he saw himself as a devout Muslim. I did not question him in that regard, but just formed that opinion that he considered himself a devout Muslim.
I also formed the opinion that somehow he managed to either reconcile these troubling teachings of Islam with other Koranic teachings that are more in line with Judeo-Christian teachings or that he found a way to ignore those troubling parts and follow only those parts consistent with Western norms and values. I really was not sure from his answers just how he perceived those Koranic teachings that we find objectionable. Prof. Mansur’s views however are not consistent at all with host kinds of Koranic teachings and indeed what he advocates essentially denounces such teachings.
I also vaguely recall Al Gordon at some point commented on CCD that Prof. Mansur was Muslim or did so in an e mail discussion with me. I do not recall Al Gordon saying Prof. Mansur was a devout Muslim or Prof. Mansur saying that of himself, but again from the exchanges I had with Prof. Mansur on CCD, it struck me that is how he saw himself and that is therefore how I came to see him.
My statements about Prof. Mansur as being a devout Muslim as opposed to just Muslim are therefore really based on my impressions of him from my exchanges with him on CCD some months ago.
Regardless of Prof. Mansur’s degree of devotion to Islam that he has as a Muslim, I hold him in the highest regard as I know you do. That respect and regard has nothing to do with the fact that Prof. Mansur is Muslim. It has everything to do with what Prof. Mansur believes and stands for and for his brilliance as an historian, political scientist, communicator, writer and advocate for Westerners including non-Muslim and Muslims alike to cherish and defend our Western values from radical Islamists who wage war against the West and Westerners, be they non-Muslim or Muslim.
Prof. Mansur has distinguished himself an important advocate for unified Western sanity and strength to meet and defeat the evils and insanity of radical Islam.
Bill, you write,
On what basis do you describe him as a devout Muslim. Surely Salim Mansur must speak for himself. I don’t believe that he has taken a position that the bad aspects of Islam are not intrinsic to Islam. Thus if he accepts that they are , he would not be considered a “devote Muslim” because he doesn’t follow those dictates. How do you know he that he has reconciled them.
So what are you talking about?
Dear Mustafa:
Christianity and Judism are religions of peace. There is absolutely no moral equivalence between Christianity/Judism and Islam.
Islam is an ideology of war against infidels. This war is absolute and permanent until all infidels have converted to Islam, pay a submission tax or are murdered.
Lo! Allah hath bought from the believers their lives and their wealth because the Garden will be theirs: they shall fight in the way of Allah and shall slay and be slain 9:111
9:111 is the teaching that has been used by Muhammad and his lieutenants to mobilize the suicide bombers, the beheaders, the jihadists to kill and slaughter millions. An estimated 270,000,000 people have been murdered because of 9:111 over the past 1400 years.
No ALLAH would ever teach 9:111 for if ALLAH gave such a law He would be the greatest killer in all the universe – not an ALLAH of love and peace and goodness but a mass murderer on the scale of a Hitler or Stalin or Muhammad.
Fight against such of those who have been given the Scripture as believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, and forbid not that which Allah hath forbidden by His messenger, and follow not the Religion of Truth, until they pay the tribute readily, being brought low. 9:29
9:29 is the declaration of war as a law of ALLAH against the infidels. The LAW OF WAR is permanent and will not end until all the infidels are murdered or pay a subrogation tax or convert to Islam. This is criminal. Again and again – this is not ALLAH’s law – this is Muhammad’s law. There is no way you can claim to be a peace loving Muslim and leave this evil in the Koran.
33:25-26 / 33:60-61 is the massacre and beheading of the Banu Qurayza Jews described later in this article. The hate of Muhammad pours like rivers of blood from these hideous words. The Koran is coated in the blood of the innocents.
Following are the Quranic teachings from ALLAH that celebrate the slaughter at Banu Qurayza. Muhammad personally beheaded 600 to 900 Jews. The women and children were sold into slavery.
Quran-8:17—It is not ye who Slew them; it is God; when thou threwest a handful of dust, it was not Thy act, but God’s…..†(Allah said, the killing of surrendered soldiers were done by the wish of Allah)
Quran-8:67—“It is not fitting for an Apostle that he should have prisoners of war until He thoroughly subdued the land….†(Allah insisting Prophet to kill all the prisoners, and should not keep any surrendered prisoners alive until He (Prophet) occupied entire Arabia.â€
Quran-33:25- “Allah turned back the unbelievers [Meccans and their allies] in a state of rage, having not won any good, and Allah spared the believers battle. Allah is, indeed, Strong and Mighty.â€
Quran-33:26- “And He brought those of the People of the Book [Jewish people of Banu Qurayza] who supported them from their fortresses and cast terror into their hearts, some of them you slew (beheaded) and some you took prisoners (captive)â€
Quran-8:67—“It is not fitting for an Apostle that he should have prisoners of war until He thoroughly subdued the land….†(Allah insisting Prophet to kill all the prisoners, and should not keep any surrendered prisoners alive until He (Prophet) occupied entire Arabia.â€
Quran-8:17—It is not ye who Slew them; it is God; when thou threwest a handful of dust, it was not Thy act, but God’s…..†(Allah said, the killing of surrendered soldiers were done by the wish of Allah)
These are just a small sample of close to 1000 teachings of hate and murder in the Koran. Again these are the laws of God and must be obeyed. Show me in the bible or torah teachings that are the Laws of God commanding Jews and Christians to go out and force the conversion of infidels and if they refuse then murdering them – taking their wives and chrildren as slaves – looting their property and then sharing the booty with God.
Thats right the Koran – as the Law of God allows Muslims to keep slaves, rape them,sell them.
One can find all these verses of Sura Anf’al from Allah inviting Muslims to enjoy booty sanctioned for them. Below are some examples how Quran openly supported Islamic jihadi’s immoral acts:
And all married women (are forbidden unto you) save those (captives) whom your right hands possess. It is a decree of Allah for you. Lawful unto you are all beyond those mentioned, so that ye seek them with your wealth in honest wedlock, not debauchery. And those of whom ye seek content (by marrying them), give unto them their portions as a duty. And there is no sin for you in what ye do by mutual agreement after the duty (hath been done). Lo! Allah is ever Knower, Wise.4:24
Quran-8:69—“But (now) enjoy what ye took in war (booty), lawful and good; but fear God…†(Allah encouraging Muslims to accept booty spoils of war “Maal-E-Ganimatâ€) Had there not been a previous sanction from God, you would have been sternly punished for what you have taken. Enjoy therefore the good and lawful things which you have gained in war, and fear God. (Surah 8:69)
Quran-8:1— “They ask thee concerning (things taken as) spoils of war (booty). Say: “(such) spoils are at the disposal of Allah and the Messenger: So fear Allah, and keep straight the relations between yourselves: Obey Allah and His Messenger, if ye do believe.”
Quran-8:41— “And know that out of all the booty that ye may acquire (in war), a fifth share is assigned to Allah, – and to the Messenger, and to near relatives, orphans, the needy, and the wayfarer, – if ye do believe in Allah and in the revelation We sent down to Our servant on the Day of Testing, – the Day of the meeting of the two forces. For Allah hath power over all things.
Quran-33:27- “And He made you heirs of their lands, their houses, and their goods, and of a land which ye had not frequented (before). And Allah has power over all things.†[Merciful Allah asked Prophet Muhammad to confiscate entire properties of the surrendered Jews]
How can any normal person faced with such evil – ignore this evil – pray 5 times a day with a book filled with evil. To an ALLAH that is the incarnation of evil. To a founder – Muhammad – an evil criminal – a man who was personally guilty of murder, including by beheadings and crucifixion, rape, torture, kidnapping, extortion, slavery, mutilations, theft, adultery, false witness, abuse of women, physically and sexually, and sexual abuse of at least one child. Muhammad slaughtered unbelievers and masterminded over 60 massacres.

Mustafa
Saying it doesn’t make it so. you have to prove your case.
All religions contain an element of militancy (self-preservation and relation to other religions) esp. Judaism, Islam. It is naive to emphazie one while ignoring another. If you you assume there is no “moderate” Muslim, there is neither “moderate” Jewish or Cristian as well.
Dear Bill:
The problem is that all Muslims believe that the Koran is the divine word of ALLAH. The teachings of the Koran are the laws of ALLAH for all eternity.
But the Koran and its teachings are evil. Islam is a declaration of war against the infidels. There is no radical Islam, Islamo facists, etc – these people are following EXACTLY the teachings of Islam. These manics are obeying exactly the Laws of ALLAH as set down in the Koran. In the end – ITS ALL ABOUT ISLAM. Therefore the question is – how can any normal person be a Muslim unless and until Islam is reformed. Following are the Criminal Laws of ALLAH.
THE UNETHICAL, IMMORAL, EVIL TEACHINGS OF THE KORAN
The Koran is a book of evil and an obscenity against everything ALLAH stands for.
Islam is a morally bankrupt and unethical ideology. Slavery, raping slave girls, murdering infidels, killing apostates of Islam, selling boys and women as trophies of war, looting and pillaging the property of murdered infidels, sharing the booty obtained from the sale of boys and women and the proceeds of looting with ALLAH – Himself, the subjugation and beating of women, martyrdom for those who kill and are killed for ALLAH, a depraved Paradise filled with virgins who re – generate as virgins after sex as the sex slaves of the killers of Islam – these are just some samples of utterly unethical and evil teachings in the Quran
1. Raping slave girls:
QURAN – 70:22-30: “Not so the worshippers, who are steadfast in prayer, who set aside a due portion of their wealth for the beggar and for the deprived, who truly believe in the Day of Reckoning and dread the punishment of their Lord (for none is secure from the punishment of their Lord); who restrain their carnal desire (save with their wives and their slave girls, for these are lawful to them: he that lusts after other than these is a transgressor…” This verse shows that Muslim men were allowed to have sex with their wives (of course) and their slave girls.
QURAN – 23:5,6: “…who restrain their carnal desires (except with their wives and slave girls, for these are lawful to them…” Again, Muslim men were allowed to have sexual relations with their wives and slave girls.
QURAN – 4:24: “And all married women are forbidden unto you save those captives whom your right hand possess. It is a decree of Allah for you.
QURAN – 33:50: “Prophet, We have made lawful to you the wives whom you have granted dowries and the slave girls whom God has given you as booty;…”
This verse is for Muhammad. ALLAH allows Muhammad to own and rape his slave girls.
The above verses are only a few out of numerous such verses scattered throughout the Quran. What could be more unethical than owning slaves and raping slave girls? ALLAH graciously allowed Muslims to own and rape slave girls. Prophet Muhammad himself and his disciples routinely raped their slave girls.
Many erudite Islamic pundits emphatically claim that Allah sent the Quran as the super guidance for not only Muslims, but for all mankind. My questions to them are as follows:
Can you tell us if you find some man in any civilized country who owned slaves let alone raping slaves, what will be your conclusion about that guy? Can you tell us how a man who Muslims claim was the Apostle of ALLAH – The Prophet of Peace – was authorized by ALLAH – to own and rape slaves – an ALLAH who created evil laws that allowed the ownership of slaves, their purchase and sale, and their sexual abuse. Should all human kind follow this unethical Quranic guidance to day?
2. Hilla Marriage-A curse, shame, and humiliation for women
Quran-2:230: So if a husband Divorces his wife (irrevocably), he can not, after that, re-marry her until after she has married another husband and he has divorced her. In that case there is no blame on either of them if they re-unite; provided they feel that they can keep the limits ordained by God (Translation by Maulana Yousuf Ali).
Sahi Bukhari: #564: Syed ibne ukair..Aisha (ra) narrated that wife of Rifakurzi told to the apostle of God that (because) my husband Rifa has divorced me I married another man named Abdur rahman ibne kurzi but I want to go back to my former husband. Then Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) told—if you want to go back to your former husband you must have sex with Abdur Rahman and then if he divorce you then you can go to your former husband, otherwise it can not happen.
These Quranic verse and sahi hadith are totally unethical. After reading the above holy verse#2:230—any elementary student will agree with that, Qur’an and Hadith strongly and clearly commands Hilla marriage to purify the divorced wife to be taken back by the former husband. The irony is, how can this Hilla marriage do the purification of an innocent divorced wife? Who is at fault, in the first place, in this scenario of a hasty divorce? Quite obviously it was the husband who had made the mistake. Then, why in the world poor wife has to be punished (sleep with another strange man) for the crime she did not commit? Because – merciful Allah said so in the Holy Qur’an, Period. What a compassionate judgment from our Merciful Allah!
3. Adoption in Islam was prohibited by ALLAH.
Islam prohibits adopting children, Period. Adoption in the technical sense is not allowed in Muslim Shriah law. This is because Allah does not like this gesture of adopting orphan children. So Allah commanded his prophet to marry Zainab Bint Jahsh in order to abolish pagan custom (Fatawa al-Imam).” Al-sabuni states, “As to Zainab Bint Jahsh, the Messenger of Allah married for no higher wisdom than to abolish the heresy of adoption (A-sabuni).”
It follows from this revelation that the adopter may marry the ex-wife of his adopted son and vice-versa.
(Sura al-Ahzab 33:40): “Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but [he is] God’s Messenger and the Seal of the Prophets. God is Aware of everything!”
(Sura al-Ahzab 33:37): “We married her off to you so that there would be no objection for believers in respect to their adopted sons’ wives once they have accomplished their purpose with them. God’s command must be done!”
Thus Prophet Muhammad married Zainab in order to provide a good example of what the all-wise legislator was seeking to establish by way of rights and privileges for adoption.
In the verse (33:37) there is stated a particular purpose for this revelation and action of Muhammad. It is not for himself, but it is for the future of the Muslim community. It is so that in future there may not be a problem if anybody (father-in-law) wants to marry the divorced wife of an adopted son. “We permitted you to marry her so that it may hence be legitimate and morally blameless for a believer to marry the wife of his adopted son.†It is a mystery why in the world any father-in law will need to marry his adopted son’s wife which is extremely unethical.
Pre-Islamic Arab Custom: Adoption of orphan/helpless child was a very popular and moral practice amongst pre-Islamic Arabs. By adopting orphan/helpless child, they used to consider adopted child as their own. And they used to pass onto them the adopter’s genealogy and name, his investment of them with all the rights of the legitimate son including that of inheritance and the prohibition of marriage on grounds of consanguinity. I don’t know – how in the world Allah could dislike such noble deeds. How and why was this noble custom among human being prohibited? Only Merciful Allah knows it!
4. Muhammad’s booty is ALLAH’s booty, which was how ALLAH made Muhammad rich:
All the booty received from the sale of boys and women into slavery, and looting and pillaging the property of murdered infidels must be shared with ALLAH. Raping slaves, selling women and children , killing people for their property and sharing the proceeds with ALLAH is evil incarnate – these laws of ALLAH – are so morally outrageous – that too claim that these teachings in the Koran are the word of ALLAH – is the greatest sin that Muslims have committed against ALLAH. Again – the Koran is an evil book and an obscenity against ALLAH.
Whatever booty goes to Muhammad belongs to Allah; it shall go to the relatives, the poor and the travelling alien; accept whatever booty Muhammad gives…59:7
Muhammad was poor; Allah made him rich…93:8
The booty of Banu Nadir belongs to Muhammad; this is because no fighting, either with horses or on foot took place; one must obey Muhammad’s decision (blindly and totally)…59:6
In verse 8:41 Allah forcefully claims His share of an Islamic plunder. On the interpretation of this verse, ibn Kathir writes that one-fifth (twenty per cent) of the loot, designated for Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad) is one and the same.
The share of plunder (one fifth of booty) designated for Allah and the Messenger is one and the same—ibn Kathir (8:41). Supporting this is what Imam Al-Hafiz Abu Bakr Al-Bayhaqi recorded, with a Sahih chain of narrators, that `Abdullah bin Shaqiq said that a man from Bilqin said, “I came to the Prophet when he was in Wadi Al-Qura inspecting a horse. I asked, `O Allah’s Messenger! What about the Ghanimah’ He said, (Allah’s share is one fifth and four-fifths are for the army.) I asked, `None of them has more right to it than anyone else. He said, (No. Even if you remove an arrow that pierced your flank, you have no more right to it than your Muslim brother.)
One can find all the following verses of Sura Anf’al from Allah inviting Muslims to enjoy booty sanctioned for them. Below are some examples how Quran openly supported Islamic jihadi’s immoral acts:
Quran-8:69—“But (now) enjoy what ye took in war (booty), lawful and good; but fear God…†(Allah encouraging Muslims to accept booty spoils of war “Maal-E-Ganimatâ€) Had there not been a previous sanction from God, you would have been sternly punished for what you have taken. Enjoy therefore the good and lawful things which you have gained in war, and fear God. (Surah 8:69)
Quran-8:1— “They ask thee concerning (things taken as) spoils of war (booty). Say: “(such) spoils are at the disposal of Allah and the Messenger: So fear Allah, and keep straight the relations between yourselves: Obey Allah and His Messenger, if ye do believe.”
Quran-8:41— “And know that out of all the booty that ye may acquire (in war), a fifth share is assigned to Allah,- and to the Messenger, and to near relatives, orphans, the needy, and the wayfarer,- if ye do believe in Allah and in the revelation We sent down to Our servant on the Day of Testing,- the Day of the meeting of the two forces. For Allah hath power over all things.
Quran-33:27- “And He made you heirs of their lands, their houses, and their goods, and of a land which ye had not frequented (before). And Allah has power over all things.†[Merciful Allah asked Prophet Muhammad to confiscate entire properties of the surrendered Jews]
5. The Qur’an is written in the language of the terrorists. It is filled with numerous verses urging the Muslims to terrorize the non Muslims, kill them, and take possession of their lands and properties. In the previous parts of this essay much has been written on this Islamist terrorism. The important point/s to remember is that whatever Muhammad did to terrorize the infidels was actually the actions of God. Among the many verses which exhort Islamist terrorism, the following verses stand out as naked aggression of God/Muhammad on the unbelievers: 2:63, 3:151, 8:12, 8:60, 8:59, 9:55, 11:102, and 17:59
Quran-8:67—“It is not fitting for an Apostle that he should have prisoners of war until He thoroughly subdued the land….†(Allah insisting Prophet to kill all the prisoners, and should not keep any surrendered prisoners alive until He (Prophet) occupied entire Arabia.â€
Quran-33:25- “Allah turned back the unbelievers [Meccans and their allies] in a state of rage, having not won any good, and Allah spared the believers battle. Allah is, indeed, Strong and Mighty.â€
Quran-33:26- “And He brought those of the People of the Book [Jewish people of Banu Qurayza] who supported them from their fortresses and cast terror into their hearts, some of them you slew (beheaded) and some you took prisoners (captive)â€
Quran-8:67—“It is not fitting for an Apostle that he should have prisoners of war until He thoroughly subdued the land….†(Allah insisting Prophet to kill all the prisoners, and should not keep any surrendered prisoners alive until He (Prophet) occupied entire Arabia.â€
Quran-8:17—It is not ye who Slew them; it is God; when thou threwest a handful of dust, it was not Thy act, but God’s…..†(Allah said, the killing of surrendered soldiers were done by the wish of Allah)
6. ALLAH is a god of war – the only god of war still worshiped in the 21st century.
ALLAH is a god of war because the beliefs associated with his worship encourages its devotees to violence and war. What are these beliefs?
To begin with, Islam has this belief that a warrior, who dies in a jihad to spread or defend Islam, goes straight to heaven and be awarded with 72 Virgins. This belief was firmly planted by Islam’s Prophet himself who led a Holy War against his enemies and promised Paradise to fallen warriors. He even encouraged Islam’s first suicide warrior.
Sahih Bukhari Volume 5, Book 59, Number 377:
Narrated Jabir bin ‘Abdullah:
On the day of the battle of Uhud, a man came to the Prophet and said, “Can you tell me where I will be if I should get martyred?” The Prophet replied, “In Paradise.” The man threw away some dates he was carrying in his hand, and fought till he was martyred.
To encourage jihad, recruiters would quote Koran 9:111:
Verily, Allah has purchased from the believers their selves and their wealth, in return for Heaven being theirs. They fight in the path of Allah and they kill and are killed.â€
The modern Islamist preachers calling for young Muslims to sacrifice their lives in order to kill infidels are calling for the blood of innocents.
Classical Islam has always divided the world into two parts – darul Harb (abode of war) and darul Islam (abode of peace). It is the duty of Muslims to conquer and subjugate darul Harb so that Islam prevails. This idea is still alive today. Ayatollah Khomeini sums it up best: “Islam makes it incumbent on all adult males, provided they are not disabled and incapacitated, to prepare themselves for the conquest of (other) countries so that the writ of Islam is obeyed in every country in the world.
But those who study Islamic Holy War will understand why Islam wants to conquer the whole world … Those who know nothing of Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war. Those (who say this) are witless.”
These beliefs are what we politely call radical Islamism or Islamism for short. But the truth is that it is also classical Islam practiced since Islam’s earliest days. This war-like ideology was developed in Islam’s early years based on the teachings and deeds of Prophet Muhammad.
Muslims regard Prophet Muhammad as the perfect man and role model. In his life-time, Muhammad waged war, killed his enemies and critics. While his behavior was not unusual for a 7th century ruler, he did start a religion. To repudiate his example would be tantamount to rejecting Islam.
7. ALLAH created a deviant sexual paradise filled with a new sub species of Homo Sapiens called Hurs – virgins with big breasts and big eyes. These Hurs were created by ALLAH only to service the righteous men of Islam in Paradise. These virgins re- generate as virgins every time a believer has sex with them. These righteous Muslim killers and murderers of ALLAH are blessed with eternal hard-ons. They are permitted by ALLAH to engage in all forms of orgies, group sex, and sexual depravity.
The Quranic teachings of this morally corrupt and despicable Paradise with ALLAH acting as brothel master and slut director is another example of the evilness of Islam. Millions are being murdered in the name of and to the greater glory of ALLAH so these killers of ALLAH can ascend to this Paradise of madness. No normal rational person can believe that ALLAH – the Creator of the Universe – An ALLAH of all goodness – could create such an evil Paradise. Islam is morally depraved.
Following are some of the criminal acts in the Koran that are sanctioned by ALLAH – that are not a sin or violation of the laws of ALLAH but are THE LAWS OF ALLAH.
THE CRIMINAL LAWS OF ALLAH
1. Killing, murder, slaughter of all infidels that have not converted to Islam.
2. Killing, murder, slaughter of all apostates of Islam.
3. Islam orders death for Muslims and possible death for non-Muslim critics of
Muhammad and the Quran and even sharia itself.
4. Muslims deserve death for doing any of the following (Reliance of the Traveler pp. 597—98, o8.7): (1) Reviling Allah or his Messenger; (2) being sarcastic about ‘Allah’s name, His command, His interdiction, His promise, or His threat’; (3) denying any verse of the Quran or ‘anything which by scholarly consensus belongs to it, or to add a verse that does not belong to it’; (4) holding that ‘any of Allah’s messengers or prophets are liars, or to deny their being sent’; (5) reviling the religion of Islam; (6) being sarcastic about any ruling of the Sacred Law; (7) denying that Allah intended ‘the Prophet’s message . . . to be the religion followed by the entire world.’
5. Islam allows the ownership of slaves – it is a law of ALLAH.
6. ALLAH permits the raping of female slaves. Indeed in Islam – rape is not a sexual weapon – it is a weapon of war. Having murdered the woman’s man, Muslims can now – sanctioned by the law of ALLAH complete their final humiliation and domination of her body.
7. ALLAH sanctions the seizing, looting and pillaging of property of murdered infidels.
8. ALLAH demands a share of the proceeds realized from the sale of women and children and looted property. It is the law of ALLAH.
9. ALLAH condemns most Muslim women upon their death to the fires of hell.
10. The ALLAH depicted in the Koran is no ordinary god. He is the greatest slut master of the entire universe. ALLAH has created a deviant sexual paradise filled with virgins with big breasts and big eyes. These virgins re- generate as virgins every time a believer has sex with them. These righteous Muslim killers and murderers of ALLAH are blessed with eternal hard-ons. They are permitted by ALLAH to engage in all forms of orgies, group sex, and sexual depravity.
11. ALLAH permits the following crimes to be committed in His name and greater glory. (1) Women and children are enslaved. They can either be sold, or the Muslims may ‘marry’ the women, since their marriages are automatically annulled upon their capture. (2) Muslims may have sex with slave women. Ali, Muhammad’s cousin and son—in—law, did this. (3) Women and children must not be killed during war, unless this happens in a nighttime raid when visibility was low. Not as an act of mercy but as a commercial decision. They are money and sex on the hoof. (4) Old men and monks could be killed. (5) A captured enemy of war could be killed, enslaved, ransomed for money or an exchange, freely released, or beaten. One time Muhammad even tortured a citizen of the city of Khaybar in order to extract information about where the wealth of the city was hidden. (6) Enemy men who converted could keep their property and small children. This law is so excessive that it amounts to forced conversion. Only the strongest of the strong could resist this coercion and remain a non—Muslim. (7) Civilian property may be confiscated. (8) Civilian homes may be destroyed. (9) Civilian fruit trees may be destroyed. (10) Pagan Arabs had to convert or die. This does not allow for the freedom of religion or conscience. (11) People of the Book (Jews and Christians) had three options (Sura 9:29): fight and die; convert and pay a forced ‘charity’ or zakat tax; or keep their Biblical faith and pay a jizya or poll tax. The last two options mean that this immoral money flows into the Islamic treasury, to fund Muhammad’s jihadist army so why would Muhammad receive a revelation from God to dry up this money flow?
12. ALLAH rewards suicide bombers and other killers and murderers Islamic martyrdom which guarantees Paradise to those who “kill and are killed” for Allah.
14 All unbelievers are to be sentenced to Hell for all eternity.
15. Murder is only wrong if the victim is a fellow Muslim.
16. ALLAH teaches that women are fields to be used by men as they will.
17. ALLAH teaches that women are worth one half of a man.
18. ALLAH sanctions men to beat their disobedient wives.
19. ALLAH does not allow Muslims to be friends with the infidels.
20. ALLAH sanctions that Muslims must disown family members who reject Islam.
21. Thieves have their hands cut off.
22. ALLAH ordered that prisoners of war must be killed until all Arabia was conquered for Islam.
23. ALLAH sent the Angel Gabriel with his merry band of warrior Angels to bring war, death and destruction to the enemies of Islam.
24. ALLAH created a law allowing Muhammad to marry his adopted son’s wife. This law applied to all Muslim men.
25. ALLAH created a law abolishing adoption.
26. ALLAH created a law allowing Muhammad to rape slave women.
27. ALLAH created a law allowing Muhammad to possess more then 4 wives.
These are just some of the criminal teachings of ALLAH. Of course, these are not the teachings of any ALLAH. No ALLAH who is ALLAH would ever teach the evil and criminality of the Koran. These are the teachings of Muhammad. The ALLAH of the Koran never existed. He was created by Muhammad. Muhammad was ALLAH.
All violence in the Koran is not the teachings of ALLAH. All references in the Koran to war, terror, violence are not the words of ALLAH. Waging war in the name of ALLAH and to the greater glory of ALLAH to spread Islam as the word of ALLAH is an obscenity against ALLAH himself. All teachings in the Koran are evil and an obscenity against everything ALLAH stands for. All Muslims who do not renounce, and denounce all violence in the Koran WITHOUT EQUIVATION are, by leaving these violent and abhorrent teachings in the Koran, in effect saying that these teachings are NORMAL. They are acquiescing to evil. Once you accommodate evil, you lose your moral center and become willingly or unwillingly an accomplice to evil. You cannot be a Good Muslim – pray 5 times a day etc – and ignore the evil – the moral black hole that lies at very the heart of Islam.
Man’s natural concept of ALLAH, is a conception of Peace and Love, Goodness and Forgiveness, an All Wise, All Loving ALLAH for all mankind. All human beings are created in the image of ALLAH. All mankind is created equal and all their lives are precious and sacred to ALLAH. As the Omniscient Omnipotent Glorious Exalted Creator – the creator of the universe and all living things – ALLAH is PERFECT.
As PERFECTION, ALLAH is the embodiment of All Peace and Love. War and violence are abhorrent to ALLAH – an obscenity to the intelligence He bestowed on mankind.
ALLAH never lead an army into battle, changed the weather allowing (His) side to win or any other form of divine intervention etc. There is no – “His” sideâ€. For ALLAH there are no believers or unbelievers. No one true religion.
If ALLAH killed only one human being (or any other alien life form throughout the universe who exercises free will) then ALLAH is a murderer and ALLAH is no longer ALLAH. If ALLAH thru any teaching incited violence that lead to the death of only one human being then ALLAH would be a accomplice to murder and no longer ALLAH.
All teachings in the Koran of violence, of war are evil and stand against ALLAH Himself.
THE KORAN IS NOT THE WORD/TEACHINGS OF ALLAH
In order for the Koran to be the divine word of ALLAH – every word, every teaching must be PERFECT. Since ALLAH is PERFECT every word, every teaching of PERFECT – A PERFECT ALLAH must be PERFECT. ALLAH cannot have some PERFECT teachings and other teachings that are IMPERFECT. In order to be the divine word of ALLAH, the Quran must be a work of PERFECTION – the PERFECT word/teachings of a PERFECT ALLAH. All teachings in the Koran and all Islamic texts (written or verbal) that are not PERFECT – that are not PERFECTION are not the teachings of ALLAH – A PERFECT ALLAH but the teachings of man – the teachings of Muhammad – The ANTI – ALLAH.
This means that all teachings recorded in the Koran and all other Islamic texts, revelations, writings, sayings, fatwa’s of murder, killing, death and destruction, violence, hate, violent jihad, terrorism, torture, brutality, savagery, maiming, wife beating, inferiority of woman, women as instruments of sexual pleasure in paradise, honor killings, stoning, cutting off limbs, child sex, sharia law, bigotry, intolerance, extortion, slavery, mutilations, looting, pillaging, slavery, inequality of infidels, inequality of any human being, that infidels can be murdered and their property stolen as a holy duty, that Muslims who renounce Islam can be killed, that Muslims (or anyone) who challenge the teachings of Islam can be murdered, etc are evil and irrational AND NOT THE PERFECT TEACHINGS OF ALLAH – A PERFECT ALLAH – AN ALLAH OF ALL PURE LOVE AND PEACE – BUT THE TEACHINGS OF THE ANTI-ALLAH – THE TEACHINGS OF MUHAMMAD
No ALLAH who is ALLAH would ever preach that killing and murdering of any human being in his name will be rewarded by accession to Paradise. You cannot climb to heaven on the corpses of the murdered. No ALLAH who is ALLAH would ever create a depraved Paradise full of big breasted, sexual nymphs for suicide bombers, terrorists, murderers to molest for all eternity. If ALLAH commanded that infidels (or any other human being) be killed then he would be irrational and evil and no longer PERFECT – no longer ALLAH. If any teaching of ALLAH incites violence that leads to the killing of any human being then ALLAH is an accomplice to murder and therefore no longer ALLAH. To have ALLAH go to war on behalf of His religion and believers is an obscenity and a very great sin against ALLAH. To have ALLAH send angels into battle as instruments of war, death and destruction is an obscenity against ALLAH. To record in a so called Holy Book – the Koran – teachings of the rules of war, slavery, looting, pillaging, hate, terror is a very great evil. Just declaring that such evil teachings in the Koran are the divine word of ALLAH is evil incarnate and an obscenity against everything ALLAH stands for – a blasphemy against ALLAH himself. KILLING, MURDER, SLAUGHTER, LOOTING ARE ALL CRIMES TO ALL NORMAL RATIONAL HUMAN BEINGS. MURDER IS NOT A MULTI CULTURAL DIFFERENCE. RELIGION IS SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT THE BEST OF MANKIND NOT THE WORST.
Therefore the Koran is not the word/teachings of ALLAH.
NOT ONE WORD IN THE KORAN OR ANY OTHER ISLAMIC TEXT IS FROM ALLAH. NO ALLAH WHO IS TRULY ALLAH WOULD EVER SPEW SUCH PURE HATRED AND INTOLERANCE. NO ALLAH WHO IS ALLAH WOULD EVER CREATE A RELIGION OF WAR, DEATH AND DESTRUCTION. NO ALLAH WHO IS ALLAH WOULD EVER PREACH TEACHINGS OF MURDER, TORTURE, AND CRUELTY. NO ALLAH WHO IS ALLAH WOULD EVER SANCTION MURDERING PEOPLE AND THEN STEALING THEIR PROPERTY. NO ALLAH WHO IS ALLAH WOULD EVER ALLOW ANY HUMAN BEING TO BE THE SLAVE OF ANOTHER. NO ALLAH WHO IS ALLAH WOULD EVER TEACH THAT WOMEN AND CHILDREN CAN BE SOLD INTO SLAVERY AS PROCEEDS OF WAR BOOTY. NO ALLAH WHO IS ALLAH WOULD EVER DEMAND THE PROCEEDS OF WAR BOOTY, LOOTING AND PILLAGING. NO ALLAH WHO IS ALLAH WOULD EVER TEACH THE RAPE OF SLAVE WOMEN. AGAIN AS STATED ABOVE – NO ALLAH WHO IS ALLAH WOULD EVER TEACH THAT INFIDELS CAN BE MURDERED AS A HOLY DUTY, THAT MUSLIMS WHO RENOUNCE ISLAM CAN BE KILLED, THAT MUSLIMS (OR ANYONE) WHO CHALLENGE THE TEACHINGS OF ISLAM CAN BE MURDERED. NO ALLAH WHO IS ALLAH WOULD EVER PREACH THAT KILLING AND MURDERING OF ANY HUMAN BEING IN HIS NAME WILL BE REWARDED BY ACCESSION TO PARADISE. NO ALLAH WHO IS ALLAH WOULD EVER CREATE A SEXUAL PARADISE OF BIG BREASTED NYMPHS FOR SUICIDE BOMBERS, TERRORISTS, MURDERERS TO MOLEST FOR ALL ETERNITY. NO ALLAH WHO IS ALLAH WOULD EVER PREACH THE FAMILY VALUES LISTED FURTHER IN THIS ARTICLE. NO ALLAH WHO IS ALLAH WOULD EVER DEMONIZE AND SUBROGATE WOMEN AND MAKE THEM IMFERIOR TO MEN. NO ALLAH WHO IS ALLAH WOULD EVER SEND AN EVIL, CRIMINAL LIKE MUHAMMAD AS HIS PROPHET TO CREATE A RELIGION TO TERRORIZE MANKIND. THE KORAN IS THE TEACHINGS OF MUHAMMAD – THE TEACHINGS OF THE ANTI-ALLAH.

To make his case, Houle ignores that there are Muslims such as Prof. Salim Mansur, a devout Muslim who does not fit his seemingly inclusive negative view of all Muslims.
I do not know how Professor Mansur reconciles those aspects of Islam of which Houle speaks, but he does.
If the vast majority of Muslims practiced Islam and promoted an Islamic world view the way Prof. Mansur practices his religion, advocates for peace, tolerance and mutual respect between all religions and denounces all aspects of radical Islam and further denounces the West for not standing up to radical Islam, Islam would indeed be perceived by far more Westerners as a religion of peace in the same sense that Judaism and Christianity are perceived by Westerners as religions of peace.
Unfortunately the Prof. Salim Mansurs of the Islamic world number relatively few, though one can hope that their numbers will increase and they will in time come to represent the majority Muslim view.
The silence of the vast majority of Muslims is no evidence at all as to how the vast majority of Muslims think, contrary to the politically correct wishful thinking West that such silence means the vast majority of Muslims are peaceloving or moderate as that almost meaningless world is used.
I concur with Houle that there are no Moderate Muslims, but only to the extent that such phrase has very uncertain meaning and ought to be avoided in seeking to classify Muslims.
The phrase has been used broadly enough to refer to Muslims from those who want to practice their religion in peace with the rest of the non-Muslim world to those who are virtually radical Muslims, save for the fact that they advocate against usuing terrorism and violence.
There is a world of difference between Muslims such as Prof. Salim Mansur and Muslims whose views are similar to radical Islamists, but who are not considered as such, because they advocate against using violence and terrorism against non-Muslim and Muslim to further their beliefs.
A more precise definition of the phrases moderate Muslim and moderate Islam must be found. Better yet more precise adjectives should be chosen to communicate exactly which Muslims are being referred to in the context of whatever issue is being discussed or written of.
The greatest myth that’s been created concerning Islam is that of the great silent majority of moderate Muslims. THERE ARE NO MODERATE MUSLIMS.
How can any Normal person read the Koran with it’s language of pure hate, terror, violence – a blue print of murder, war,slaughter and not immediately realize that these are not the words/teachings of any ALLAH – not the teachings of any ALLAH – The Creator of the Universe – a God of Peace and Goodness but the words and teachings of a 7th century Arab chieftain – Muhammad.
All Muslims believe that every word of the Koran is the divine word of ALLAH. Not only is the Koran the divine word of ALLAH but the LAWS OF ALLAH TO BE OBEYED WITHOUT QUESTION.
To any rational, normal person reading these Kornic verses (and these are just a small sample of the 1000’s and 1000.s of the total teachings of hate, terror, cruelty, depravity etc that are Islam.) the claim by Muslims that they are reading the words, teachings, laws of ALLAH is insanity. There is no Islamic fundamentalism,Islamic fascism, political Islam, jihadists etc who have hijacked the religion. There has been no hijacking. These demented souls are following exactly the teachings of the Koran – they are following in the footsteps of their founder – the man of evil – Muhammad. In the end – IT’S ALL ABOUT ISLAM.
How can you be a normal person and believe in a religion that preaches a Paradise of big breasted, big eyed sexual nymphs called Hurs that you can molest with eternal hard ons for all eternity in the presense of God who teaches you how to engage in orges, group sex etc.
How can you be normal and believe that by fulfilling Kornic teaching 9:111- “Lo! Allah hath bought from the believers their lives and their wealth because the Garden will be theirs: they shall fight in the way of Allah and shall slay and be slain” you will go to this demented sexual whorehose of God and not directly to hell and damnation.
9:111 is the teaching that has been used by Muhammad and his lieutenants to mobilize the suicide bombers, the beheaders, the jihadists to kill and slaughter millions. An estimated 270,000,000 people have been murdered by Islam because of 9:111 over the past 1400 years.
No ALLAH would ever teach 9:111 for if ALLAH gave such a law He would be the greatest killer in all the universe – not an ALLAH of love and peace and goodness but a mass murderer on the scale of a Hitler or Stalin or Muhammad.
No ALLAH would ever create the depraved Paradise of Islam described as:
“Men with protracted erections and engaging themselves in sex present a scene worth watching: most of them, if not all, remain locked, like the dogs, with the Hurs and the young boys for a protracted period of time. Lying on the top of the Hurs (this position changes, on the basis of the men’s fancy), and riding the boys from their back, they create a scene that no human has seen before in his lifetime. In a sentence, it is a mass orgy.
Allah loves orgy, but it does not cause arousal to His own sexual desires, as He is impotent. He, however, visits His honored guests from time to time to make sure they have been doing fine in the Gardens. He helps them with guidance where they need it in order to make their stay in them most pleasurable. After all, this is what He had promised them all along. “
