Muslim offers $10,000 to anyone who shows Qur’an promotes terrorism

Mar 25, 2016 5:35 pm By Robert Spencer

quran2

Dear Omar Alnatour:

Thank you so very much for offering “anyone $10,000 if they can find me a verse in the Quran that says it’s ok to kill innocent people or to commit acts of terror.” My 1999 Toyota is on its last legs, and your generous gift will enable me to replace it with a modest but fully operational used midsize sedan. Or maybe (since it has been years since I’ve had a break), if I can keep the jalopy going for awhile, I will use your ten grand take a vacation to Paris and Brussels — before it’s too late, you know?

Anyway, here is my entry, which I am confident will win the $10,000 prize. I’ll make sure of that by giving you even more than you asked for: you wanted just a single Qur’anic verse that “says it’s ok to kill innocent people or to commit acts of terror,” I’ll give you more than one of each, just so there is no doubt:

  1. The Qur’an says it’s ok to kill innocent people

“Then, when the sacred months are drawn away, slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them, and confine them, and lie in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they repent, and perform the prayer, and pay the alms, then let them go their way; Allah is All-forgiving, All-compassionate.” (Qur’an 9:5)

The verse says to kill the idolaters – mushrikun – those who worship others besides Allah. Now I don’t know, Mr. Alnatour, if you might think “idolaters” are by virtue of being “idolaters” are not innocent and therefore worth killing, but I’m with Thomas Jefferson: “It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.” I don’t think my neighbor to have forfeited his innocence if he prays to gods I don’t recognize, and I hope you don’t, either.

Now I expect that you will say that this Qur’an verse refers not to all idolaters, but only to one very specific group of idolaters, the polytheist Quraysh tribe of Mecca that was making war against Muhammad, and that this verse has no force now that they have been conquered and Islamized, and doesn’t apply to any other idolaters. It would have been nice for Allah to make that clear in the pages of his perfect book, but who am I to question the will of a deity?

What’s more, classic Muslim commentators on this Qur’an verse give no hint that it has long expired. On the contrary, Ibn Juzayy notes that it cancels out peaceful verses; he says that it abrogates “every peace treaty in the Qur’an,” and specifically abrogates the Qur’an’s directive to “set free or ransom” captive unbelievers (47:4). As-Suyuti agrees: “This is an Ayat of the Sword which abrogates pardon, truce and overlooking” — that is, perhaps the overlooking of the pagans’ offenses. The Tafsir al-Jalalayn says that the Muslims must “slay the idolaters wherever you find them, be it during a lawful [period] or a sacred [one], and take them, captive, and confine them, to castles and forts, until they have no choice except death or Islam.” He is offering this as instruction for Muslims in his day; he seems to have no idea that this verse doesn’t apply to them.

Neither does Ibn Kathir. He writes that Muslims should “not wait until you find them. Rather, seek and besiege them in their areas and forts, gather intelligence about them in the various roads and fairways so that what is made wide looks ever smaller to them. This way, they will have no choice, but to die or embrace Islam.” He also doesn’t seem to subscribe to the view that this verse applies only to the pagans of Arabia in Muhammad’s time, and has no further application. He asserts, on the contrary, that “slay the unbelievers wherever you find them” means just that: the unbelievers must be killed “on the earth in general, except for the Sacred Area” — that is, the sacred mosque in Mecca, in accord with Qur’an 2:191.

So there you are, Mr. Alnatour: the Qur’an calling for the murder of those who are innocent, except for the crime of being “idolaters” – a “crime” that requires earthly punishment only in the Qur’an.

And there’s more:

“Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, of the People of the Book, until they pay the jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.” (Qur’an 9:29)

The “People of the Book” are Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians. The verse doesn’t provide any reason why they should be fought and made to submit to the Muslims except that they are People of the Book and don’t acknowledge Islam. Here again, you might consider them not innocent on that basis, but I hope you don’t, as I’m sure you would agree that people may differ on key questions in good faith.

Ibn Juzayy, however, does believe that the People of the Book should be fought simply because they are not Muslims. He says that this verse is “a command to fight the People of the Book” and explains that they must be fought because of their “denying their belief in Allah because of the words of the Jews, ‘Ezra is the son of Allah” and the words of the Christians, ‘The Messiah is the son of Allah’” (cf. Qur’an 9:30). He adds that Muslims must also fight them “because they consider as lawful carrion, blood, pork, etc.” and because “they do not enter Islam.”

So the Qur’an says that the People of the Book must be fought because they believe differently from the Muslims. But that is not a crime. These people are innocent.

  1. The Qur’an says it’s ok to commit acts of terror

“We will cast terror into the hearts of the unbelievers, for that they have associated with Allah that for which He sent down never authority; their lodging shall be the Fire; evil is the lodging of the evildoers.” (Qur’an 3:151)

Now, Mr. Alnatour (may I call you Omar?), I know what you’ll say here: this is Allah saying he will terrorize the unbelievers, not commanding the Muslims to do so. Fair enough, although I can’t help but recall that the Qur’an also says: “Fight them; Allah will punish them by your hands” (9:14). So if Allah is punishing the unbelievers by the hands of the believers, might part of that punishment involve casting terror into the hearts of the unbelievers? And that’s what terrorism is all about, right?

And yes, there is still more. “Make ready for them whatever force and strings of horses you can, to strike terror into the enemy of Allah and your enemy, and others besides them that you know not; Allah knows them. And whatsoever you expend in the way of Allah shall be repaid you in full; you will not be wronged.” (Qur’an 8:60)

Strike terror into the enemy of Allah and your enemy. Now you no doubt have some explanation for this, Mr. Alnatour, but I wonder how you would explain to a young member of the Islamic State (ISIS) or al-Qaeda that Allah’s command to strike terror into the enemy of Allah doesn’t mean that they should behead, or blow up, or otherwise terrorize unbelievers.

So there you have it. Not just one verse, but four, and I have plenty more. You don’t have to pay me $40,000 even though I fulfilled your requirements four times over; I’ll take the $10,000, and thank you very much for your generosity. I must say that I very much enjoyed your article in which you made this offer, “Why Muslims Should Never Have To Apologize for Terrorism,” if it is proper to say that one enjoyed such a lamentable tale as your own. It is lamentable to read about how your wife screams at you and your children hate you for matters beyond your control, and that then on top of that, Infidels have the temerity to want you to do something about Islamic terrorism beyond issuing pro forma condemnations.

My mind goes back, however, to those who were murdered by Islamic terrorists recently in Brussels, Paris, San Bernardino, and so many other places. I’m sure you would agree that the suffering of their families far exceeds that of Muslims who must suffer Infidels asking them (quite patiently, for over fourteen years now since 9/11) to clean their own house. I do hope that you will think a bit about them, and about your Qur’an. Instead of obfuscating its contents, as you’re writing out my check, you could do us all a favor by starting to ponder some strategies about how to limit the capacity of your holy book to incite murder and bloodshed. In light of my confidence that you will do that, I very much look forward to your next article.

With cordial best wishes from your fellow human being,

Robert Spencer

        Do not hold your breath. Muslim apologists are experts at explaining that when the Quran says something quite explicitly. it does not say it and also in explaining when it does not say something in a verse, it does say it.
        Thus, when the Quran repeatedly says the Earth is flat, it actually says it is round, when it says the Sun has a resting place for the night and sets in a muddy pool and rises from a place on Earth. it actually does not say so.
        Similarly when the Quran says “…. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who have disbelieved, so strike them over the necks, and smite over all their fingers and toes.” 8:12 (you missed that one Robert, and ,many other verses, it actually does not say so.

          Richard,

          Don’t you know that kafirs have an islamophobia-driven propensity to take everything written in the quran out of context? Only a true muslim (one who follows the book to the letter) would understand the complexity of the quran. A kafir can not.

          As regards the self-serving $10,000 offer, ask any true muslim to define “innocent people” or “acts of terror”. According to the quran, only true muslims are innocent and war-jihad conducted against the kafir in the name of islam or to counter islamophobia does not equate to terror. Why? Because it says so in the book that the book can not be wrong. Therefore, it is right.

          QED.

        PS Muslim Dairy Queen owner installs signs comparing Hindus to monkeys.

        “Mohammad Dar, a 65-year-old Muslim and U.S. citizen from Pakistan, claims he is not prejudiced for installing the signs — instead saying Hindus are the “racists,””

        “Hindus don’t follow any limit or law, they follow desires like an animal – that is the foundation of Hinduism,” Dar told mySA.com. “Monkeys don’t plan anything, they just do what they desire, but humans follow the limit and law.”

        “It’s nothing personal, it’s educational,” he reportedly added. “I’m really making people mad, but what I’m doing is communicating and inviting them to communicate […] they think I am attacking their religion, but I am not.”

        Excellent!! Now they will realise that when we tell the truth about Islam we are not attacking it. merely inviting Muslims to communicate.

        Alas Islamic “communication” is with bombs and beheadings.

          This is so silly. IN fact, it is the Muslim who is an animal and not a human. They even admit that they cannot control their sexual urges when they see female hair uncovered. In fact, one of the voo-doo hoo-doos even compared Musim men to a cat and a woman to a piece of uncovered meat which the cat is unable to resist. Now who’s the animal? IMO Hindus are cleaner and clearly more civilized than Pakis. Yuk.

          For those Muslims and their apologists, let me enlighten you:

          When the coward Muhammad ran away from Mecca to Medina in the tear 622AD he made himself the leader of the first Crime Syndicate in history using Medina as his base of TERROR operations plundering, slaughtering, raping and enslaving his way over the following 10 years to rule most of the Arabian Peninsula

          His followers, the so called Muslims, have continued for the last 1400 years and continue as we speak today the same criminal and terrorist methodology

          Islam & Muslims represent the number one Crime Syndicate and Organization on Earth

        The Shafi’i Sharia manual ‘Umdat al-Salik says that “an expiation is due to Allah Most High from anyone who kills someone unlawful to kill…” (o5.1). However, “there is no expiation for killing someone who has left Islam” (o5.4). In other words, someone who kills is liable to punishment, but he isn’t liable to punishment if he kills an apostate.

    Since he supposedly opposes the killing of innocents does this mean that if he accepts the truth of what you assert about Islam that he will not only pay you the money but that he will declare his apostasy from Islam? For if he does not make such declaration then he must personally favor the killing of innocents.

        The Islamist come to us directly from 6th century tribal warfare and the Koran and Sharia are just codified savage customs and prejudices. In that culture and even since they are persistently using one another against someone else so Tagiyya is as natural as breathing, particularly against infidel dogs. When their leaders are talking as us they are in full combat.

  9. Molly Brown says

    Mar 25, 2016 at 7:17 pm

    There are 109 violent passages in the Qu’ran. Several command Muslims to strike fear into the hearts of the unbelievers and to kill the apostates.

    Approximately 28,000 violent acts have been committed in the name of Islam since 9-11. It is incompatible with Western society and must be outlawed immediately. Mohammed was the “perfect man”. The Qu’ran is immutable. Not one word can be added or deleted. So there is little hope of reformation by “moderate Muslims” who had “nothing to do with the recent Brussels, San Bernardino, and Paris bombings.”

    • Sovereign Man says

      Mar 26, 2016 at 3:36 am

      Incorrect Molly. 28,000 deadly terrorist attacks carried out by Muslims that have been reported in the media have taken place since 2001-09-11. Uncounted millions of violent acts have been carried out Muslims, not all of them deadly, most unreported, such as wife beating and honor killings. Islam’s brutality is incalculable.

  10. Voytek Gagalka says

    Mar 25, 2016 at 7:24 pm

    To win that prize is very easy for anyone who knows even very little of Qur’an. Catch is, however, that if one tries to collect that prize there will be doubtless awaiting him Qadi (Islamic judge) who will promptly send such winner to the gallows for blasphemy. No, thanks.

  11. LetsTalkCandidly says

    Mar 25, 2016 at 7:29 pm

    The trick of course is the word “innocent”. Is the guy making the offer the judge of innocence? If so, you’ve been had. According to Islam everyone other than another Muslim, even those of a different Muslim sect, are guilty. Or if that doesn’t work there is always taqiyya he can fall back on. Sorry, Robert, but you are stuck w/ your old Toyota a little longer, it seems. Return this challenge: where in the New Testament of the Bible does it call for killing people, period, innocent or not?

    Muslim offers $10,000 to anyone who shows Qur’an promotes terrorism
    …………………..

    Of course, this is not a legitimate offer from Omar Alnatour–just an effort to make ignorant people believe that the Qur’an *must* be peaceful–after all, why else would someone offer $10,000 if they can prove otherwise?

    Who is Omar Alnatour? He is a “Palestinian” American apologist for Islam. He has written for the Huffington Post, including such articles as “Why Muslims Should Never Have To Apologize for Terrorism” and “10 Reasons You Should Not Fear Muslims”–which he compares to the idea that he was frightened of ladybugs when he was a child. No mention, of course, that ladybugs are not waging a bloody Jihad against us.

    Perhaps his most outrageous story is this one: “Muslims Are Not Terrorists: A Factual Look at Terrorism and Islam”–where he doesn’t even claim that most Muslims are not terrorists, but absurdly takes issue with the idea that Muslims commit terrorism at all. Once again, he makes the claim here that toddlers and household furniture are more dangerous that is violent Jihad.

    There’s much more from this creep, but this gives a pretty good idea of what a meretricious wanker he is.

    One last thing: this is not the only time he has offered that mythical $10,000 prize. Here he is on Twitter addressing Hillary Clinton:

    “I’ll give $10,000 to your campaign if you can factually prove that Palestinians are the terrorists in this conflict.”

    I think we have trick here.

    While there are countless verses in the Koran that authorize or mandate slaughter of innocents and acts of terror, there is no verse that says exactly:

    “it’s ok to kill innocent people or to commit acts of terror”

    I think this is primarily because the Angle Gabriel was unfamiliar with modern vernacular and hence was unaware of the abbreviation of “OK” when the Koran was supposedly recited to the fictional illiterate character commonly called “Mo Mo” in the dark cave.

    Mar 25, 2016 at 8:30 pm

    The author of this article, Mr Alnatour, actually has a valid point. His article is titled:

    “Why Muslims Should Never Have To Apologize for Terrorism”

    I actually agree with this. I am sick of hearing hollow apologies and pro forma condemnations of terrorist acts that are so clearly mandated by Canonical Islamic Ideology and readily available in the core Islamic texts.

    The Islamic “community” clearly supports these acts and does nothing to prevent them.

    Does anybody really want to hear any more apologies? I certainly don’t.

    The time for apologies is long gone. If you self identify as Islamic then you are responsible and need not apologize to me.

    ‘

    • Fessitude says

      Mar 26, 2016 at 2:11 pm

      Yes, the time for apologies should be over (but it’s not, unfortunately). And the time for discussion and debates should be over (but it’s not, unfortunately). And that’s just with regard to the counter-jihad. The broader mainstream isn’t even to the point of demanding apologies, while discussion and debates are going on, but only carefully ensured to have the right answer beforehand, rather than open-ended as they should be. While we’re waiting for a genuine, honest Conversation about this from all sides — and getting only dishonest sophistry & taqiyya (or, on the side of the counter-jihad, wishful expectancy of something different) — the problem is getting horribly worse, and the destruction of our civilization is unfolding before our eyes like a disastrous train wreck in a century-long slow-mo. Before this twenty-first century ends, the West will be destroyed, unless it stops indulging in the nonsense of political correctness with its many shibboleths, chief among which is the notion (shared by many in the counter-jihad) that not all Muslims are the problem.

    • RonaldB says

      Mar 26, 2016 at 5:57 pm

      I think you have it wrong.

      ” the time for apologies should be over”
      The apologies have never begun.

      “Apology” and “condemnation” are different things. The Muslim groups and imams condemn jihad like crazy, because its part of their claim that terror has nothing to do with Islam. The terrorists don’t really take offense, since they understand that the condemnations and denials that this is part of Islam are all part of the game.

      “Apology” is a different story. It implies real responsibility. Omar Alnatour claims that he’s tired of apologizing for Islamic terror, but I’ll go on a limb and say you could safely offer to pay $10,000 for any actual apology made by Alnatour. Condemnation, yes, but no apology. That would be a statement of responsibility, which he would never, never do.

        ***********
        What I meant was that the time for expecting apologies should be over; but unfortunately many in the counter-jihad still seem to be wired to expect Muslims to change. For, what would they think about the future and what the West should do, if they really, really registered that all Muslims are the enemy and Muslims are not going to change in any degree relevant to our safety (= our increasing vulnerability to destruction)?

    Vigilante murder is normative Islam, rather than an aberration.

    Vigilante murder of apostates is authenticated by the fatwa department of Al Azhar University, Islam’s top Sharia authority.
    Bukhari (84:64-65) – “Allah’s Apostle: ‘During the last days there will appear some young foolish people who will say the best words but their faith will not go beyond their throats (i.e. they will have no faith) and will go out from (leave) their religion as an arrow goes out of the game. So, wherever you find them, kill them, for whoever kills them shall have reward on the Day of Resurrection.’”
    Sharia law: The “Bill of Legal Punishments” says (p.12), “A person guilty of apostasy (man or woman) shall be put to death if repentance is not made within the period allowed which shall not exceed sixty days. Repentance of a person who commits apostasy more than twice shall not be accepted.”
    In 1992, Islamist militants gunned down Egyptian secularist Farag Foda. Before his death, he had been declared an apostate and enemy of Islam. During the trial of the murderers, Al Azhar scholar Muhammad al-Ghazali testified that when the state fails to punish apostates, somebody else has to do it.
    No doctrine in Islam depends on a single Koranic verse, but on the Koran, hadiths, Sira and canonical rulings. What is ‘normative Islam’ is decided by the fatwa department at Al Azhar University, not by private opinion. In the 1992 murder of apostate Farag Foda, Al Azhar’s scholars argued that when the state fails to punish apostates, “somebody else has to do it.”

    This impertinence by Alnatour is offensive to me. It’s the kind of brash taqiyya subterfuge we might expect from a sick muslim apologist. It’s an insulting challenge that spits on the soul of every person that has died for that demented, fake religion. The islamic religion and culture is rife with murder for allah and muhammad. Millions have died and suffered for it and still are every day. The evidence for islam’s violent agenda is in every bomb, every “allah akbar” while cutting heads, raped and beat woman, every honor killing, every child rape, acid in the face, the dangerous enclaves, the threatening riots, the jihad-preaching imams, and “kill the infidel” sentiment in their holy books. I don’t need one verse pr*ck. I’ve got a world of suffering to prove my case against that vile, evil, hateful, sh*t called islam. Your challenge is a lie, bravado and arrogance dropped in the lap of human suffering. You are a complete fake, a disgrace to human decency with your backhanded denial of islam’s vile enterprise against human rights. You are a person of low character who spits on the dead with your pompous denial of the obvious.

Then turn your life around, move away from that demented, ignorant faith and fight for human rights instead. If your best example is a pedophile murderer and a bigoted god then you are not fit to teach anyone about anything. The only smart muslim is a former muslim who has rejected the absurdities of that pathetic excuse for a religion. And I read your #5, what an embarrassment. You sound like a bratty child, wa wa, why should we muslims have to apologize when the other naughty kids don’t? Whether you should have to apologize or not does nothing to address the active influence your faith is having in the world of terror and murder. The important thing here, are you and your fellow muslims going to reform? and remove all jihad murder and hate from your faith? Are you going to care about equal rights for women? child rape and sexual mutilation? religious freedom without sharia duress? You’re preaching from an awfully low perch when the basis of your convictions is a faith the condones violence against non-muslims. You can’t be a dispenser of moral wisdom when your highest morality is so contrary to human rights. You end up looking like a propagandist for evil. You aren’t “detached” from terrorism, Alnator. You are its defender.

But this exercise demonstrates in its own way the incredible frustration felt by those of us who have made an effort to familiarise ourselves with Islam and its relationship to Jihad Terrorist groups. The Political establishment and mainstream media, like Omar, stubbornly refuse to examine Islamic texts and instead keep up the maintenance of a ‘magic cocoon’ surrounding Islamic scripts. The general public cannot be fobbed of indefinitely by this game and the longer it continues the harder will be the fall from grace for those who try to lead with their heads in the sand.

    Hahahah this demonstrates a true muslim’s taqiyya, check this out people:
    The following are just a few of KILLINGS obliged by Al-Quran to non muslims:

    (QS 47:4) So when you meet those who disbelieve [in battle], strike [their] necks until, when you have inflicted slaughter upon them, then secure their bonds, and either [confer] favor afterwards or ransom [them] until the war lays down its burdens. That [is the command]. And if Allah had willed, He could have taken vengeance upon them [Himself], but [He ordered armed struggle] to test some of you by means of others. And those who are killed in the cause of Allah – never will He waste their deeds.

    For Islam apologists who say “…but that’s only in a war, you can’t kill when it’s not in a war…”, the following will make sure at anytime every Moslems should make war:

    (QS 9:29) Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture – [fight] until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled.

    (QS 9:123) O you who have believed, fight those adjacent to you of the disbelievers and let them find in you harshness. And know that Allah is with the righteous.

    And for Moslems who still hesitate to go to war:

    (QS 9:38) Believers! What is amiss with you that when it is said to you: “March forth in the cause of Allah,” you cling heavily to the earth? Do you prefer the worldly life to the Hereafter? Know well that all the enjoyment of this world, in comparison with the Hereafter, is trivial.

    (QS 2:216) Jihâd (holy fighting in Allâh’s Cause) is ordained for you (Muslims) though you dislike it, and it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allâh knows but you do not know.

    Talk about apologists and re-interpreters.

    Listen to this Canadian (he sounds Francophone) commentary. While he seems like a kind-hearted sincere man, I can’t help thinking ‘wouldn’t life be easier for him if he just became a Jain, rather than telling of how prisoners must be executed humanely, and ‘war is hell’, especially in the desert’ plus ahistorical delusions of misplaced hopefulness.

    Look up on Youtube key words ‘On war & beheading Faraz Rabbani’

    You gotta like the guy for recommending that his fellow Canadian Muslims be peaceful. But actually, I prefer ISIS, because they tell it like it is rather than try to squirm out of what Mohammed did and said. Not to mention Abu Bakr etc.

    • Demsci says

      Mar 26, 2016 at 3:35 am

      You are understandably preferring ISIS over such apologists.

      Who lull into sleep non-Muslims by their arguments and assurances of innocence of Islam and Muslims.

      However, my distinction about this to me also obvious pernicious deceipt is this:

      Implicitly this apologist and others like him, and also Islam-defenders among our own citizens, ALL SAY THAT ISLAM HAS ONLY ONE TRUE VERSION, namely that of a benign one, or at least quite neutral one! Including our own leaders, like Obama and Cameron!

      And THAT is really the monumental deception.

      Because if such apologists and Islam-defenders would admit that they just have a different interpretation from ISIS, but both these interpretations were equally valid, as might still other interpretations be, how would people react THEN?

      They would react, as I have seen written by professor Kedar in Israel National News, and have heard normal people say: That Islam is a “Smorgasbord” for various people to choose various interpretations.

      And the very existence of several, at least, equally valid interpretations of Quran-Hadiths-Sira, would undermine decisively the credibility of Apologists and Islam-defenders in the minds of average critical people if they only let sink this in.

      So we do not have to reject all those peaceful interpretations of Islam, or Quran-Hadiths-Sira, but see them as proof of the lack of clarity, therefore lack of authority, of Islam and use that to our advantage.

      What we should reject and fight all the way is that pernicious lie that Islam is “one true clear religion” with a benign, neutral character. Noooooo, that is only ONE of several VALID interpretations!!!

    Jihad declare only the people who broken the agreement/mischief land/terrorism/injustice :

    22:39. Permission to fight is given to those (i.e. believers against disbelievers), who are fighting them, (and) because they (believers) have been wronged, and surely, Allâh is Able to give them (believers) victory
    8: 56. They are those with whom you made a covenant, but they break their covenant every time and they do not fear Allâh.
    57. So if you gain the mastery over them in war, punish them severely in order to disperse those who are behind them, so that they may learn a lesson.
    58. If you (O Muhammad SAW) fear treachery from any people throw back (their covenant) to them (so as to be) on equal terms (that there will be no more covenant between you and them). Certainly Allâh likes not the treacherous.
    59. And let not those who disbelieve think that they can outstrip (escape from the punishment). Verily, they will never be able to save themselves (from Allâh’s Punishment).
    60: 9. It is only as regards those who fought against you on account of religion, and have driven you out of your homes, and helped to drive you out, that Allah forbids you to befriend them. And whosoever will befriend them, then such are the Zâlimûn (wrong-doers those who disobey Allah).
    42: 42. The way (of blame) is only against those who oppress men and wrongly rebel in the earth, for such there will be a painful torment.
    9: 12. But if they violate their oaths after their covenant, and attack your religion with disapproval and criticism then fight (you) the leaders of disbelief (chiefs of Quraish – pagans of Makah) – for surely their oaths are nothing to them – so that they may stop (evil actions).
    9:13. Will you not fight a people who have violated their oaths (pagans of Makah) and intended to expel the Messenger, while they did attack you first? Do you fear them? Allah has more right that you should fear Him, if you are believers.
    4: 75. And what is wrong with you that you fight not in the Cause of Allah, and for those weak, ill-treated and oppressed among men, women, and children, whose cry is: “Our Lord! Rescue us from this town whose people are oppressors; and rise for us from You one who will protect, and rise for us from You one who will help.”
    5: 33. The recompense of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and do mischief in the land is only that they shall be killed or crucified or their hands and their feet be cut off on the opposite sides, or be exiled from the land. That is their disgrace in this world, and a great torment is theirs in the Hereafter.

        Malik :: Book 46 : Hadith 46.1.3

    killing innocent people not part of religion of Islam:

    17: 33. And do not kill anyone which Allah has forbidden, except for a just cause. And whoever is killed (intentionally with hostility and oppression and not by mistake), We have given his heir the authority [(to demand Qisâs, Law of Equality in punishment or to forgive, or to take Diya (blood money)]. But let him not exceed limits in the matter of taking life (i.e he should not kill except the killer only). Verily, he is helped (by the Islamic law).
    25: 68. And those who invoke not any other ilâh (god) along with Allah, nor kill such life as Allah has forbidden, except for just cause, nor commit illegal sexual intercourse and whoever does this shall receive the punishment.
    49: 6. O you who believe! If a rebellious evil person comes to you with news, verify it, lest you harm people in ignorance, and afterwards you become regretful to what you have done.

    Bukhari :: Book 6 :: Volume 60 :: Hadith 134
    …………… “I do not know that killing a person is lawful in Islam except in three cases: a married person committing illegal sexual intercourse, >>>one who has murdered somebody unlawfully<<<>>>>>A person who killed somebody unjustly, was killed (in Qisas,) <<<<<<<<(2) a married person who committed illegal sexual intercourse and (3) a man who fought against Allah and His Apostle, and deserted Islam and became an apostate."
    Bukhari :: Book 9 :: Volume 83 :: Hadith 6
    Narrated 'Abdullah:
    The Prophet said, "No human being is killed unjustly, but a part of responsibility for the crime is laid on the first son of Adam who invented the tradition of killing (murdering) on the earth. (It is said that he was Qabil).

    but some terrorist religion blindly killing innocent people:

    1 Samuel 15:3,8
    Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy everything that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.' " … He took Agag king of the Amalekites alive, and all his people he totally destroyed with the sword.
    Hosea 13:16
    Deuteronomy 13:6-9 "If your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you love, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying: Let us go and worship other gods (gods that neither you nor your fathers have known, gods of the peoples around you, whether near or far, from one end of the land to the other, or gods of other religions), do not yield to him or listen to him. Show him no pity. Do not spare him or shield him. You must certainly put him to death. Your hand must be the first in putting him to death, and then the hands of all the people."

    Also let us look at Deuteronomy 17:3-5 "And he should go and worship other gods and bow down to them or to the sun or the moon or all the army of the heavens, …..and you must stone such one with stones and such one must die."
    Samaria shall bear her guilt, because she has rebelled against her God; they shall fall by the sword, their little ones shall be dashed in pieces, and their pregnant women ripped open.
    "The Jews are called human beings, but the non-Jews are not humans. They are beasts."
    Talmud: Baba mezia, 114b

    "The Akum (non-Jew) is like a dog. Yes, the scripture teaches to honour the the dog more than the non-Jew."
    Ereget Raschi Erod. 22 30
    "It is permitted to take the body and the life of a Gentile."
    Sepher ikkarim III c 25
    "It is the law to kill anyone who denies the Torah. The Christians belong to the denying ones of the Torah."
    Coschen hamischpat 425 Hagah 425. 5

    "A heretic Gentile you may kill outright with your own hands."

      Jay Smith also points out that there are now 6 known earliest versions of the Quran, none are from before the 8th century and there are multiple differences in their texts. Anyway, at least 30 % of the Quran can be shown to be Plagiarized!

    We’re like the naive tourist who would as an oriental bazaar trader if his rugs are really made of pure wool. Then he would casually touch his beard and say “Absolutely pure wool.”

    The key is the definition of “innocent”. To muslims, no unbeliever is innocent. Most of them aren’t even human. So no, they would never kill an “innocent human”.

    Everything muslims say is based on their very own epistemology. You can’t argue with them until you understand that. They themselves understand it very well and know how to turn our weakness against us.

    Define innocent. Define enemies. Only Muslims can be innocent, all others are “waging war against Allah and his Messenger” as per 5.33, refer to Tafsir Ibn Kathir: “includes disbelief”. See also Hedaya 2.212 & 216: Jizya is a payment in lieu of destruction and punishment for infidelity. Disbelief is an evil to be removed by death or Islam.

    Allah commands Muslims to “strike terror” in 8.57 and “terrify thereby” in 8.60.

    Allah promises to impue acts taken to injure or enrage infidels to the terrorist as “righteous good deeds” in 9.120. In 59.13, Allah tells Moe and his army are more a terror in the Jew’s hearts than Allah.

    Moe said he was helped by awe Bukhari 1.7.331 and “made victorious with terror” in 4.52.220.

      8: 56. They are those with whom you made a covenant, but they break their covenant every time and they do not fear Allâh.
      57. So if you gain the mastery over them in war, punish them severely in order to disperse those who are behind them, so that they may learn a lesson.

      Non Muslim Women & children no need to pay jizya & only for wealthy non Muslim:
      Malik :: Book 17 : Hadith 17.24.46
      Malik said, “The sunna is that there is no jizya due from women or children of people of the Book, and that jizya is only taken from men who have reached puberty. The people of dhimma and the magians do not have to pay any zakat on their palms or their vines or their crops or their livestock. This is because zakat is imposed on the muslims to purify them and to be given back to their poor, whereas jizya is imposed on the people of the Book to humble them. As long as they are in the country they have agreed to live in, they do not have to pay anything on their property except the jizya.
      Jiziya for the protection for non Muslim
      Dawud :: Book 19 : Hadith 2955
      Narrated Umar ibn al-Khattab:
      A son of Adi ibn Adi al-Kindi said that Umar ibn AbdulAziz wrote (to his governors): If anyone asks about the places where spoils (fay’) should be spent, that should be done in accordance with the decision made by Umar ibn al-Khattab (Allah be pleased with him). The believers considered him to be just, according to the saying of the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him): Allah has placed truth upon Umar’s tongue and heart. He fixed stipends for Muslims, and provided protection for the people of other religions by levying jizyah (poll-tax) on them, deducting no fifth from it, nor taking it as booty.

        NEVER in the stories about Muhammad nor the history of Islam were either of them VICTIMS of aggression. because Muhammad and his followers had been and continue to be the first and foremost aggressors against all human beings whether Infidels or not

        So far, you have not answered a single item I brought to your attention nor would I expect any kind of meaningful ‘debate’ between a Muslim and any rational human being

    The best way to a peaceful future would be if Islam managed to redefine itself as non-violent. I fear that wiithout this peace can only be achieved by the destruction of Islam as a religion, and the war that would be needed to make that happen is not something anyone should want. That is why posts like this make me uncomfortable.

    When Muslims claim their religion does not advocate violence and seek to reinterpret and explain the many troubling verses of the qur’an in a non-violent way, part of me really wants to cheer them on. Isn’t that exactly what we want them to do? Isn’t this an attempt to reform Islam? Isn’t that the best way for us to avoid having our children kill each other?

    And when people here then rain on their parade and insist that only a bloodstained interpretation of the qur’an is possible, do we not then paradoxically find ourselves making the same argument as the jihadis, that Islam is inextricably linked to bloody jihad. I don’t want that to be true. Because if it is if leaves us with no alternative to world war to resolve the problem of Islam.

      I am sure you have read the Qur’an? I am far from a scholar of Islam, but well educated. 62 years old and have 8 grandkids. If I can read a Qur’an and Hadith and read exactly what ISIS is DOING in that book, then so can any Muslim. The problem is, Muhammad forbids any rewriting or reinterpreting of this book. It CANNOT be changed because those who do so are considered apostate. So, yes, one BILLION Muslims either are lying or living in the torment of denial-these are the “peaceful” Muslims. If one of them said”What the heck, let’s just take out the bad violent verses?”Mayhem would fall onto that person. So what to do? It can’t be changed and when young devout Muslims read their book they are reading “kill the non believer” and wonder WHY none of their parents, aunts, cousins aren’t following the Quran, they become radical. The only hope for ISLAM is to rewrite that book, and it isn’t going to happen.

        Linnte; you said:
        //’The problem is, Muhammad forbids any rewriting or reinterpreting of this book. It CANNOT be changed because those who do so are considered apostate.”//

        Linnte, Jay Smith and many other real Islamologists Discern:
        First there are Quran-Sahih-Hadith-Sura, then *much) later the “Tafsirs” begin.

        It is they who clarify, explain, choose interpretations, codify a LOT for Islam, dictating that to Muslims. Very influential too, but …. distinctive from Quran-SahihHadits-Sira itself. And yes, the authority and influence of Tafsirs may be IMMENSE, but they WERE HUMANs, and their authority therefore need not be total.

        This means that those Muslims who consider others “Apostate” do not have automatically the utmost authority and indeed grounds for declaring that. With multiple possible interpretations of divine core-texts there can hardly be REAL APOSTATES.

        The problem is not what Mohammed forbids, because left to themselves, without the damned Tafsirs, Quran-SahihHadiths-Sira are really a bit of a mess.

        They leave a lot to be clearly explained (Robert wrote; “it would have been nice if Allah had explained this”, didn’t he?) it has many contradictions, and downright gibberish (Christoph Luxenbourg asserted that 20 % of the Quran was unintelligible).

        And remember, the biggest deceit of apologists is their implicit contention that Islam had only one true version, which is benign. But Quran-SahihHadiths-sira are simply not that clear! So a valid “Democratic interpretation of Islam divine core-texts, if presented as being only ONE OF MORE valid interpretations is not lulling non-Muslims into sleep.

        Linnte, I think that is to our advantage! Compare our own laws, many important guiding texts, we MAY change them, when times change or misunderstandings appear.. The Muslims cannot correct or update or augment their Most Important guiding texts. And there are plenty of misunderstandings!

        And look at the timeline; In the early days Islam was fresh, but by now it is very stale, and in my opinion very wanting in clarity, completeness, coherence, and it is very contradicting and ambiguous. What kind of a God is it that forbids altering such texts for already 1200 to 1400 years and counting?

        Granted, there were and are Tafsirs, explainers, schools of thought, Al Azhar etc. But we, and Muslims too, can point out that they were and are all human.

      Ian H wrote: (refusing reform of Islam) “… leaves us with no alternative”

      Who said Islam can be reformed? The CONSENSUS OF ISLAM says Islam may not be reformed on penalty of death.

      Bida (innovation) is a crime in Islam punishable by death. The teaching of bida makes Islam unreformable. No one has the right to change Allah’s words or their canonical interpretations.

      Some of the types of bida are the following and are called ‘kufr’ (thought crimes):

      Kufrul-Istihaal: Disbelief out of trying to make haram into halal by convoluted reasoning.
      Kufrul-I’raadh: Disbelief due to avoidance. This applies to those who turn away and avoid the teaching of Islam, such as jihad, hatred of kafirs, etc.
      Kufrul-Istibdaal: Disbelief because of trying to substitute human laws for Allaah’s Laws. Muslims who refuse jihad or the death penalty for apostates in favour of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights are considered apostates who should be executed.

      Ian H. believes he can impose Western logic on Islam which is an entirely closed system…a violently obscurantist system protected by the sword of vigilantes.

      • Demsci says

        Mar 26, 2016 at 4:18 am

        Mortimer, you yourself do have profound knowledge and logic both, I know. But it behooves you to answer Ian H in full, not just in part.

        But what Ian H pointed to was two-fold; not only did he assert the possibility of reform in Islam by Muslims themselves, which you almost totally refuted, granted,

        he also pointed out where NOT acknowledging the slightest possibility of reform in Islam leads to. This namely means that Muslims can only be seen as enemies or as so-called “sleepers” or “tepid believers”.

        And under the circumstances such a situation seems to lead only to war. The Islam that you describe leaves Muslims who take their religion seriously, no choice. And yes, 99,9 % of Muslims seems to lean to the “bad choice” if there were a choice.

        But you, in your description of Islam, do rely on so-called “Tafsirs”, and not solely on Quran-Sahih-hadiths-Sira, who can be considered more divine than Tafsir and interpreted independent of them. As Omar Alnatour is certainly attempting.

        Anyway, to Ian I say, regardless of what Muslims say, and Mortimer is very right about that, you can still convince swingvoters and fence-sitters, among ourselves, that yes, Quran-Hadiths-Sira can in theory be interpreted without the Tafsirs, which in theory have no authority, although in reality a lot, but still.

        But that means you can tell Westerners that Muslims, in Democratic Nations, in theory do have a choice. And that it is vital that they are choosing a democratic Islamic interpretation OVER AND AGAINST any anti-democratic interpretation, no matter how popular and threathening the followers of that last interpretation are.

        And no matter how much these followers will declare Democratic Muslims “Apostates”. Because to the best of my knowledge, theoretically Democratic Muslims are NOT APOSTATES. The main problem seems to me that Muslims almost never choose our side over the side of our enemy.

        Mar 26, 2016 at 10:25 pm

        Yes, there is consensus in Islam about forbidding BIDA, on pain of death, as you point out. But that is based on manmade tafsirs, schools of thought.

        And indeed, trying to implore Muslims to change is hopeless. But how about to persuade our own “swingvoters and fence-sitters?” now seemingly so infuriatingly out of reach? Due to this forbidding red line they ever use: “Do not paint all Islam and all Muslims with the same (black) brush”.

        But I now follow Jay Smith. And he tries to show how pathetic Islam’s core texts are. Without the tafsir, without the consensus in Islam. Call it the Achillesheel of Islam. Fascinating stuff he is saying.

      “//do we not then paradoxically find ourselves making the same argument as the jihadis, that Islam is inextricably linked to bloody jihad//”

      Ian, as I see it, it is (almost) a TENET of Islam that the Quran is clear, that there can only be found ONE TRUE VERSION of Islam. President Erdogan asserts as much. I have often spoken to Muslims about Islam and not one dared admit that “Islam is not clear”.

      The paradoxical similarity between Muslims & Islamdefenders on the one hand, and many counterjihadists on the other hand is about this “ONE TRUE VERSION” narrative. Only of course the Muslims talk about a PEACEFUL Islam and the counterjihadists about a Supremacist, hostile, violent Islam. I call this; Both sides say “Islam is mono-interpretable”.

      It is LESS respectful to Islam if Islam is described as not mono-interpretable, but multi-interpretable. To describe it as unclear, incomplete, ambiguous, obsolete. At least without the “Tafsir”.

      And I have visited JW a lot, and I have seen Robert Spencer joking a lot about the never-ending “misunderstanding of Islam by Muslims”, referring of course to the huge and ever appearing contradictions among Muslims about what is or is not Islam, What it orders, forbids, or permits.

      Seeing Islam as multi-interpretable is not “lulling non-Muslims to sleep” I think when it is clearly broadcast that Islam is NOT MONO-Interpretable.

      Meaning that both the Muslims&Islam-defenders and the counterjihadists get criticism on their absolute stand. Although I hasten to say that the counterjihadists always had a very very good well informed case and I too see the Muslims as completely hopeless, unless severely pressured to take sides.

      Mar 26, 2016 at 8:53 am

      What you have seems fair on the surface. But I think your assessment of the problem is overly simplistic and short-sighted. The problem with islam isn’t just that a minority are misinterpreting some verses to justify their evil acts. Islam has a 1400 year tradition of human rights violations as a cultural and religious way of life. There’s a saying, “pretty is as pretty does.” Before I’ll have faith in reform I need to see changes where it really matters: No more child rape in marriage. No more threatening jihad protests or riots. No more misogyny. No more discrimination against non-muslims for their religion. No more sharia over human rights. No more honor killings. No more vitriolic hatred of the Jews–if they have offended you then forgive them. And totally excise those jihad verses, a god of human compassion would prefer it over the incitement they’re causing (even if due to misinterpretation).

      I don’t think a gentler interpretation of their faith’s violence is enough, not if a fundamentalist interpretation is still possible. No, there needs to be a bigger change in islam, a revolution–culturally, religiously, and socially. If muslims were truly reforming for the better it wouldn’t matter if others “rained on their parade.” Our doubts would not affect their “reform,” not if it was genuine. So I don’t think it’s acting unfair or detrimental to be skeptical about islam reforming. I think it’s more a case of being honest about the full depth and breadth of islam’s moral depravities and mental deficiencies.

      • Demsci says

        Mar 27, 2016 at 8:47 am

        No, it might be simpler than what you say; that a whole range of big changes among Muslims, somehow spontaneously coming from them, is NEEDED.

        What is needed is the choice by many, enough Muslims of choosing democratic system, with its pillars, constitutions, laws and principles OVER AND AGAINST theocratic system. And Zuhdi Jasser and some have chosen so! That choice is all important.

        But I acknowledge that left to themselves Muslims are completely and utterly unchangeable and hopeless.

        My aim all along was the “Swingvoters, fence-sitters” among ourselves, in order to get a majority, in order to get a legitimate, well supported policy to defend Democratic system.

        And what is more logical then showing many Muslims are now en masse anti-democratic and on the side of our enemies, and therefore what is more logical than demand a choice for our system and nation from them?!

        The more so, because Muslims and Islam-defenders insist how “innocent, peaceful” Islam is. So why would they NOT choose for our system and nation irrevocably? When we can convince our majority that tons of evidence show that Islam and Moslims pose much opposition to our system, culture and country, not to mention social cohesion?

        And once we have a majority plenty pressure can be exerted on Muslims in Democratic nations; because so many Muslims are so dependent on our health services, for themselves, their children and their elderly. So many are dependent on welfare. Even their businessmen depend much on our state.

        Maybe exerting pressure with diminishing those benefits will make Muslims more “flexible in their faith” and boost Zuhdi Jasser’s follower-group. Remember, once we have a majority who sees the logic of this, we CAN assert this pressure.

          Jasser’s change came from living in American culture and his intellect was open to seeing the contrast. Emphasizing democracy reminds me that we were intended to be a Republic, not a democracy, and the shift can be credited to our demise. Any suggestion that democracy or understanding our laws, even the bill of right, is enough to change a culture that has codified 6th century tribal customs and beliefs explains the neo-con failed idea that Iraq could be changed requiring democratic processes and telling them about our beliefs. A civilized society is the product of centuries of evolutionary cultural processes totally lacking in primitive cultures, which is a perquisite to lasting change. Jasser underrates himself or overrates fellow Muslims. Every society and culture has unique individuals that think for themselves, but if he lived in Sharia cultures, would he even be alive?

        Yes, yes, Taqqiya certainly works! Ever since 9/11, that’s 2001, we have tried to counter it, and our counterjihad could not convince a majority of our own! I don’t know know about you, but aren’t many of us still stuck in the surprise&shock-mode that taqqiya works? Why do you still need to state something as obvious as that? The question is; Is our counterjihad working? To convince a majority of our own people?

        Muslims are against Bida, innovation. By contrast, the Westerners are the most innovative people, or people with the most innovative culture.

        That is why I propose an innovative approach, not to excuse or change the Muslims, but to counteract the Taqqiya better!

        And there are new developments; you should check out what Jay Smith is saying about the origines of Islam. His dream it is to show how shaky, messy Islam really is. How plagiarized and altered the Quran is shown to be.

        This could blow holes in the biggest Taqqiya of all, which I have consistently exposed and that is:

        That the Islam is somehow a clear narrative, and that it has only one true interpretation, that is benign and neutral.

        I say that Islam is not worthy to be called clear and that it’s very multi-interpretability causes Islamic State and terrorism and non-integration etc.

        In short; You say; Islam is clear and mono-interpretable and very dangerous.

          I don’t think that making it a religious competition will work. We must attack the theory that all cultures are equal and reassert the superiority of our inherited American culture. Along with this we must emphasize critical judgment and abolish the idea that it is bad to judge. It is incorrect to assume one’s individual value based on the inherited culture but that must not apply to critical judgment of the cultural differences. Furthermore, the fundamental Muslim must accept his scripts without question and an emotional attachment is the result. Reason and facts, with a healthy dose of reality is the only way to open his eyes. As for infidels that are adamant about religious tolerance, I think that the only way of overcome such prejudice is through critical judgment of the culture in order to distinguish the people from the religion. From everything I have heard form reformist Dr. Jasser, it was his appreciation of the differences between American culture and the tribal culture that opened his eyes.

    The great Islamologist, Johannes J.G. Jansen wrote in “Religious Roots of Muslim Violence” that…

    “‘Fighting is prescribed for you’, Koran 2:216, cannot be misunderstood. Neither can 9:111, ‘They fight in the cause of Allah; they kill and are killed’. It is interesting to note that in the first verse of these two fragments, 2:216, the Muslims are referred to as ‘you’, and in the second one, 9:111, as ‘they’. This, however, does not make the message of these verses less menacing. It is, according to the Koran, moreover entirely reasonable that Muslims fight the Unbelievers, because ‘there is sickness in their hearts’, 2:10. And: ‘Urge on the Believers to fight!’, 8:65. Verse 4:74 is clear: ‘Let them fight in the way of God… Whosoever fights in the way of God and is slain, or conquers, We [God] shall bring him a mighty wage’. Someone who is not convinced by these verses will not be convinced by more or even much more of the same.”

    There is a consensus among Muslim scholars that K. 9.5 cancels all the tolerant verses in the earlier parts of the Koran and makes warfare against and killing (q-t-l) of non-Muslims compulsory.

    On the matter of executing apostates from Islam, there is a difference of opinion among Islamic scholars whether Koranic verses call for the death sentence for apostasy, but none when the hadiths are used:

    “Book 016, Number 4152:

    ‘Abdullah (b. Mas’ud) reported Allah’s Messenger as saying: It is not permissible to TAKE THE LIFE of a Muslim who bears testimony (to the fact that there is no god but Allah, and I am the Messenger of Allah, but in one of the three cases: the married adulterer, a life for life, and the DESERTER OF HIS DIN (Islam), abandoning the community.”

    The various collections of hadiths state clearly that apostates are to be killed. No one disputes this. Even the “Quran-only” types acknowledge that the hadiths are the basis for the apostate’s death sentence. These hadiths detail various times and situations in which apostates were killed. In some cases apostates fought against the political authority of Islam, in other cases they simply rejected belief in Islam, but in all cases leaving Islam was the fundamental reason to kill them.

    Omar Alnatour is a cunning, devious rascal, but most Muslims would not accept that jihad against disbelievers is wrong or that killing apostates is wrong.

    • mortimer says

      Mar 26, 2016 at 3:45 am

      Omar Alnatour is a cunning rascal playing semantic games. Various Islamic scholars have stated that the Quran does not mandate the death sentence explicitly, but traditional Islamic jurisprudence based upon the SUNNA and HADITHS clearly do mandate death. The Encyclopedia of Islam says plainly,

      “In Fikh (jurisprudence), there is unanimity that the male apostate must be put to death.”

      This ruling has been the accepted Islamic law for the last 1400 years and is unmistakably enshrined in Sharia law.

      Omar Alnatour’s cunningly crafted conditions are basically BS.

      “By Allah, Allah’s Apostle never killed anyone except in one of the following three situations: (1) A person who killed somebody unjustly, was killed (in Qisas,) (2) a married person who committed illegal sexual intercourse and (3) a man who *******fought against Allah and His Apostle*********, and deserted Islam and became an apostate.”
      THAT IS ORDER OF KILLING NOT APOSTATE ,THEY FIGHT WITH PROPHETS(S)
      Bukhari :: Book 6 :: Volume 60 :: Hadith 134
      …………… “I do not know that killing a person is lawful in Islam except in three cases: a married person committing illegal sexual intercourse, one who has murdered somebody unlawfully, or ***** one who ””’wages war”””” against Allah and His Apostle******.
      peaceful Apostate not killed:
      Bukhari :: Book 4 :: Volume 56 :: Hadith 814
      Narrated Anas:
      There was a Christian who embraced Islam and read Surat-al-Baqara and Al-Imran, and he used to write (the revelations) for the Prophet. Later on he returned to Christianity again and he used to say: “Muhammad knows nothing but what I have written for him.” Then Allah caused him to die(not prophet(s)……….
      Muslim :: Book 20 : Hadith 4593
      It has been narrated by Salama b. al-Akwa’ that he visited al-Hajjaj who said to him: O son of al-Akwa’, you have ******turned apostate***** and have come to live again in the desert with the Bedouins (after your migration). He said: No, but the *******Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) has permitted me to live******** in the desert.

    In Robert’s outstanding response to this amazing offer by the quite naive Omar Alnatour, who seems to count on lingering massive ignorance about Islam,

    he distinguished immediate interpretation of literal Quran-texts from the interpretation by “Tafsir”, later fallible human interpreters, explainers, codifiers. Due to their human nature, it is in theory possible that Alnatour and other Muslims do not find them sufficiently authoritative in all their writings.

    Or more precisely, Muslims follow their interpretations massively among themselves but omit or deny and replace (with peaceful interpretations of their own) those in debate, relying on ignorance of counterdebaters I suppose.

    Muslims are so hopeless. But maybe, such a clear rebuttal of that deceitful article, such a concise, precise counterquestion of what does or does not constitute “innocents” in the minds of average humans,

    can give Political Correct People pause to think. especially when anti-Islam-parties keep piling pressure upon them with their rising popularity.

    And in his article Alnatour makes such a big deal about the condemning of Islamic State and terrorist Muslims, but it should be, by now, be considered null and void. All these “condemners” do is talk about what is or is not their religion, but inside their homes and mosques they are still free to say:

    We, with “our Islam”, we still condemn Kuffars, America, the democratic system MORE than we condemn Islamic State and violent Jihadi’s. So what is their condemnation worth?

    We should try to make this clear to “swingvoters, fence-sitters”. Muslims are by now totally untrustworthy and they should be asked to clearly choose sides, in order to restore trustworthyness. But choosing sides is conspicuously absent among the vast majority of “Western Muslims”.

    I suppose that, as you imply, much depends upon how this fool defines “innocent.” Presumably, you will force him to accept the dictionary definition. Among those are the following in Merriam-Webster:

    a : free from guilt or sin especially through lack of knowledge of evil : blameless

    b : harmless in effect or intention ; also : candid

    c : free from legal guilt or fault; also : lawful

    But by the definition of Islamic doctrine you are not innocent if you are a non Muslim. Will this affect Robert’s chance’s of getting the reward? If he refuses to pay you can take him to court where the definition is used in the Western sense! Perhaps wishful thinking!

      An infidel’s interpretation of holy script is also summarily dismissed as unqualified. We can say right here it says “kill” and they will answer when convenient that kill doesn’t mean kill. Anything they say or do matters and nothing coming from us does. It is like saying to a communist that in this law you are forcing people and he responds, only if they resist. By refusing to submit to Allah, you are causing your own death and they make no distinction for children.

    Just one example out of the thousands is the Somnath which has been reduced to the ground four times and rebuilt EVERY time, most recently in 1950.

    Why to Muslims continue to hack Hindu sculptures and destroy temples in Pakistan and Bangladesh?

      NO PROOF FOR DESTROY TEMPLE ,IT JUST LIE FROM HINDU POLITICIAN FROM INDIA……

      HINDUISM PROMOTE VIOLENCE /DESTROY NON HINDU PLACES:
      Following mantras from the Rig-Veda illustrate the hatred of other religious groups:
      “Around us is the Dasyu, practicing no religious rites, not knowing us thoroughly, inhuman, following other laws. Baffle, you Slayer of the foe, the strength of this Daasa.” [Rigveda 10/22/8]
      How many Dasyus were slaughtered? Let us turn to Atharvaveda 8/8/7 which says
      Great is your net, brave Indra, the mighty match for a thousand, Lord of Hundred Powers! Holding them, with his host, therewith has Indra slaughtered Dasyus a hundred, thousand, myriad, hundred millions.
      “Slay everyone who pours no gift, who, hard to reach, delights you not. Bestow on us what wealth he has: this even the worshipper awaits.” [Rigveda 1:176:4]
      “Indra abides, humbling the neglecters of holy rites, in favour of those who observe them, andpunishing those who turn away from his worship, in favour of those who are present with their praise).” [Rigveda 1/51/9]

      BUT ISLAM SAYS:
      Malik :: Book 21 : Hadith 21.3.10
      Do not kill women or children or an aged, weak person,Do not cut down fruit-bearing trees.Do not destroy an inhabited place. Do not slaughter sheep or camels except for food. Do not burn bees and do not scatter them. Do not steal from the booty,

        PERMISSIBILITY OF MURDERING WOMEN, AGED AND CHILDREN

        It is narrated by Sa’b b. Jaththama that he said (to the Holy Prophet): Messenger of Allah, we kill the children of the polytheists during the night raids. He said: They are from them. (Sahih Muslim, Book 019, Number 4322)

        • sham says

          Mar 26, 2016 at 1:28 pm

          generally killing women/children prohibited:
          Muslim :: Book 19 : Hadith 4320
          It is narrated by Ibn ‘Umar that a woman was found killed in one of these battles; so the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) forbade the killing of women and children.
          Volume 004, Book 052, Hadith Number 257.

          Narrated By ‘Abdullah : During some of the Ghazawat of the Prophet a woman was found killed. Allah’s Apostle disapproved the killing of women and children.

          Volume 004, Book 052, Hadith Number 258.

          Narrated By Ibn ‘Umar : During some of the Ghazawat of Allah’s Apostle a woman was found killed, so Allah’s Apostle forbade the killing of women and children.

          Sunan Abu Dawood

          Book 008, Hadith Number 2663.

          Narated By Rabah ibn Rabi’ : When we were with the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) on an expedition, he saw some people collected together over something and sent a man and said: See, what are these people collected around? He then came and said: They are round a woman who has been killed. He said: This is not one with whom fighting should have taken place. Khalid ibn al-Walid was in charge of the van; so he sent a man and said: Tell Khalid not to kill a woman or a hired servant.
          why killed those women/children?
          Volumn 004, Book 052, Hadith Number 256.

          Narated By As-Sab bin Jaththama : The Prophet passed by me at a place called Al-Abwa or Waddan, and was asked whether it was permissible to attack the pagan warriors at night with the probability of exposing their women and children to danger. The Prophet replied, “They (i.e. women and children) are from them (i.e. pagans).” I also heard the Prophet saying, “The institution of Hima is invalid except for Allah and His Apostle.”
          There are many possible meanings for these Hadith. I was kind of surprised when I read it at first. But we don’t know the EXACT situation or what the Prophet truly meant. Maybe, maybe THOSE particular women and children were planning to fight against the Muslims with the enemy.

          Maybe the Muslim army just could not have blown this chance to attack the enemy that they still had to attack them no matter at what cost in order to stop the risk of more blood shed (do a little bad for the greater good).

          The very fact that the companions of the Prophet asked the Prophet’s permission shows that the Prophet used to be strict regarding his prohibition on the killing of women and children. However, when a situation arises and there is no choice, things could get ugly. The Prophet even forbade the cutting down of palm trees in war, however during the siege of Banu Nadir the Prophet had to make an exception. So exceptions do arise unfortunately.

          Imam Ibn Hajar Al Asaqalani says in Fath Al- Baari that the point is not to target the women and children intentionally but if there is absolutely no other way to kill the enemy than by injuring the women and children because they are mixed with the men then there is no other choice. (Source:hadith.al-islam.com/Display/Display.asp?Doc=0&Rec=4747)

          Another possibility is that the hadith has been abrogated and that even if women and children accompany the enemy during war then they still should not be killed. (See hadith.al-islam.com/Display/Display.asp?Doc=0&Rec=4747 for the evidence)

          Imam Nawawi says in his tafseer of Saheeh Muslim that women and children are only killed only if they cannot be distinguished. But because it was so dark and they could not be distinguished, the Muslims had not choice. (Source: hadith.al-islam.com/Display/Display.asp?Doc=1&Rec=4215)

          The tafseer of Abu Dawud says the same thing here (Source: /hadith.al-islam.com/Display/Display.asp?Doc=4&Rec=3291)

    Their money is absolutely safe under the mattress. No only are idolaters and non-believers not innocents, we have no credible disagreement with fundamental Muslims because of their supreme grasp of every meaning of “their” text. They could pass any lie detector test on it. But your response is welcome among the rational. Offering a reward to the infidel carries no more moral or ethical obligation to them than promising to bring Fido home a bone but then forgetting the promise. No agreement is possible or enforceable with savages that claim superiority over the rational.

      • Jack Diamond says

        Mar 26, 2016 at 9:07 pm

        lie.

        If 9:5 is only about self-defense why were “idolators” given the choice convert or die? This is forced conversion not self-defense. The grounds for this mass murder or convert? “They attacked you first” which means they attempted to protect their caravans from being raided by Muslim brigands. Sorry, does not qualify as self-defense. “Attacked your religion with disapproval.” Sorry criticism is not a crime meriting the death penalty. Except with Muslims for whom the merest criticism of Muhammad or Islam is considered “fighting” the Muslims. Heck, disbelief itself is “waging war” against Allah. Sorry, not acceptable as self-defence.
        It’s also clear the Muslims first broke the treaty. But Muslims are not bound by treaties, when it is in their interest to break them.

        Verse 9:6 only allows protection for some idolators, for the purposes of converting them to Islam or allowing them to spread the message of Islam. The Islamic definition of “inclining toward peace”. Submission.

        Verses before 9.5 are about peace treaties dissolved after 4 months notice (with exceptions like the Damra tribe given 9 months). That’s it. 9:5 then frees all obligations to all treaties. Ibn Juzayy, (it abrogates) “every peace treaty in the Qur’an”; ibn Kathir, “this honorable ayat (9:5) was called the Ayah of the Sword..it abrogated every agreement of peace between the Prophet and any idolator, every treaty and every term. These ayat allowed fighting people unless and until they embrace Islam and implement its ruling and obligations…fighting the non-Muslims was prohibited in the four holy months…at the end ‘kill them wherever you find them’ means in ANY PART OF THE EARTH.” al-Shawkani “Islam is unanimous about fighting the unbelievers and forcing them to Islam, submitting and paying the jizya tax or being killed. The verses about forgiving them are abrogated…by the obligation of fighting.”

        The Jalalan “Muhammad had earlier made a covenant with them (infidels) not to kill them. After that this verse (9:5) was given in order to free God and Muhammad from any covenant with the infidels…it gives them a four months grace period, then kill the infidels wherever you find them. Capture them besiege them in their castles and fortresses until they are forced to accept Islam or be killed.”

        Fight and kill the idolators wherever you may find them “in any part of the Earth”, you fraud.

Why can’t we convince them about how detrimental Islam is to us?! Not even with all these tons of evidence, both from texts and from actual behavior of Muslims worldwide! and the connection between the texts and the actions. But at every turn, when we try to inform and debate, we get ignored or contradicted, not just by Muslims, but by our own majority!

      Who are the confused ones? Not the Muslims, however defunct in brains and logic, when it comes to Islam they are. It rather is our own majority, much of our own media and politicians, which, when it tries to think about Islam at all, is so very very confused.

      Every doctrine that requires unconditional acceptance of every word with the death penalty for doubters guarantees cognizant dissonance for believers. This is the essence of irrationality and every attempted discussion with the faithful does nothing more than provide them with a forum for public relations. They have no more feelings of moral or ethical responsibility with us and than we might have for dogs. Well, most of us probably feel a closer relationship with our dogs. You can’t let yourself feel too close with someone you might need to kill. Are they commanded that they can’t be friends with an infidel?

  59. UNCLE VLADDI says

    Mar 26, 2016 at 6:07 pm

    The Qur’an clearly and specifically tells muslims the Bible is wrong and also that all Christians and Jews are infidel criminals who worship a false god, and who must therefore be extorted, enslaved, and murdered for their “crime” of not being muslims:

    Sura (Chapter) 47:1-4 of the Qur’an:

    1: non-muslims are bad, (allegedly because they insult allah by dividing his nature*);
    2: muslims are good, (allegedly because to them allah is the cause of everything*);
    3: Allah made them both like that;
    4: So muslims should chop off the non-muslims’ heads.
    (“Allah could have done it himself, but he wants you muslims to do it for him”).
    …

    It’s all right there, in context: islamic violence is entirely general doctrine-driven, and not at all specific grievance-driven.

    (And chapter 47 isn’t by any stretch even remotely the worst, most violent chapter; that honor goes to either chapter 8 or 9).

    So don’t go looking for what actions of yours may have offended or provoked them; they have been taught from birth that your existence alone offends their god, and so should offend them.

    Muslims have been officiallly taught to believe that they are the “best of people” (Qur’an 3:110) and that unbelievers are the “most vile of created beings” (Qur’an 98:6).

    ——-

    Quran (4:89) – “They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing (as they): But take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (From what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks.”

    And so on, and so on.

    Really…..would be great to see this hit the courts, get some serious media coverage; and see Robert receive the paltry sum. Get people talking…..about the truth.

    The Qur’an tells Muslims to kill and go to war to fight for Islam: Quran, chapters (Surahs) 9:5, 2:191, 2:193, 3:118, 4:75, 76, 5:33, 8:12, 8:65, 9:73, 123, 33:60-62.
    Fight for Allah: “And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from whence they drove you out, and persecution is severer than slaughter, and do not fight with them at the Sacred Mosque until they fight with you in it, but if they do fight you, then slay them; such is the recompense of the unbelievers,” (Quran 2:191).
    Muslims are to battle for Allah: “Those who believe do battle for the cause of Allah; and those who disbelieve do battle for the cause of idols. So fight the minions of the devil. Lo! the devil’s strategy is ever weak,” (Quran 4:76).
    Kill those against Islam: “The only reward of those who make war upon Allah and His messenger and strive after corruption in the land will be that they will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet on alternate sides cut off, or will be expelled out of the land. Such will be their degradation in the world, and in the Hereafter,” (Quran 5:33).
    Beheading: “When thy Lord inspired the angels, (saying): I am with you. So make those who believe stand firm. I will throw fear into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Then smite the necks and smite of them each finger. 13That is because they opposed Allah and His messenger. Whoso opposeth Allah and His messenger, (for him) lo! Allah is severe in punishment,” (Quran 8:12).
    Allah urges war: “O Prophet! urge the believers to war; if there are twenty patient ones of you they shall overcome two hundred, and if there are a hundred of you they shall overcome a thousand of those who disbelieve, because they are a people who do not understand,” (Quran 8:65).
    Slay non-muslims: “Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful,” (Quran 9:5).
    Allah urges war: “O Prophet! strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be unyielding to them; and their abode is hell, and evil is the destination,” (Quran 9:73).
    Allah urges war: “O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness; and know that Allah is with those who guard (against evil),” (Quran 9:123).
    Allah urges killing: ” . . . the hypocrites and those in whose hearts is a disease and the agitators in the city do not desist . . . 61Cursed: wherever they are found they shall be seized and murdered, a (horrible) murdering. 62(Such has been) the course of Allah with respect to those who have gone before; and you shall not find any change in the course of Allah, (Quran 33:60-62).
    Beheading: “Now when ye meet in battle those who disbelieve, then it is smiting of the necks until, when ye have routed them, then making fast of bonds; and afterward either grace or ransom till the war lay down its burdens . . . ” (Quran 47:4).
    Allah loves those who fight for him: “Truly Allah loves those who fight in His Cause in battle array, as if they were a solid cemented structure,” (Quran 61:4).
    As you can see, the Qur’an definitely teaches that its people are to fight for the cause of Islam. This list of verses is important because they are within the holy book of Islam. What are we to conclude if a Muslim is to take the Quran seriously? Is he not obligated to slay non-Muslims, to go to war, to kill those against Islam, etc.? Isn’t this what the verses are teaching? Yes, they are. And this is the source of Islamic Terrorism.
