Siddiqullah Chowdhury said: “For us, our holy scripture, the Quran Sharif, is supreme and if any constitutional provision or any law contradicts the Quran, then our scripture will prevail and not the law or Constitution.”
He was referring to India’s new law forbidding Islamic instant divorce. “No one will adhere to it, but will follow the religion and the holy book,” said Chowdhury, and he is doubtless correct.
Officials in Western Europe and North America should consider carefully the fact that Islamic law mandates death for criticizing Islam, institutionalizes an inferior status for women and non-Muslims, allows for polygamy, calls for the killing of apostates, and contains other provisions that contradict American law. Do Muslim leaders in the U.S. also believe that the law of the land should be set aside if it contradicts the provisions of Islam? Does anyone even dare ask them, or would simply asking the question itself be “Islamophobic”?
“Bengal minister Siddiqullah Chowdhury says Quran will prevail over Constitution,” The Statesman, September 22, 2018:
Siddiqullah Chowdhury, a Minister in West Bengal government, took the protest against the Centre’s ordinance on triple talaq to another level by saying that the Constitution is subservient to the Quran.
Chowdhury is the Minister of Mass Education and Library in the government led by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. He is also the state president of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind.
According to a report in The Indian Express, Chowdhury said that the Quran will prevail over the Constitution if any constitutional provision or law contradicts the Quran.
“For us, our holy scripture, the Quran Sharif, is supreme and if any constitutional provision or any law contradicts the Quran, then our scripture will prevail and not the law or Constitution,” Chowdhury was quoted as saying by The Indian Express.
Interestingly, Chowdhury accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of playing the religion card and toying with the Constitution.
Referring to the Ordinance introduced on Wednesday that made the practice of triple talaq a penal offence, Chowdhury said that it will “have no effect on Muslims”.
“No one will adhere to it, but will follow the religion and the holy book,” he said.
Drawing attention to the rising cases of violence against women, he said that the Centre is doing nothing to protect the women but “are hurting the sentiments of Muslims for cheap vote bank politics”….
Buraq says
The most dominant version of Al Qur’an is the Hafs’ version. But Hafs was a dishonest, plagiarizer. So, relying on a doubtful version of Al Qur’an from which to make statement of the kind that Siddiqullah Chowdhury has made is unwise, to say the least.
Check out the detailed evidence for Hafs’ doubtful version of Al Qur’an.

Now this is pure fact that Islam is ILLEGAL and should be banned from the U.S.
This idiot preacher or whatever he wants to call himself is from Bengal and probably has no problem preaching this stuff in mosques there…but how bout this….. How many Islamic preachers here in the U.S. are preaching the same thing in the mosques here trying to undermine our Constitution? Are mosques bring monitored? Are Islamic groups being monitored? Is the FBI on top of this?
In my opinion there is enough written facts, in just the Koran, never mind all the other recordings out there to show that Islam is a subversive organization bent on the overthrow of our government and dismantling of our Constitution.
As I have stated so many times …It will take New Laws (ESPECIALLY IN THE FREEDOM OF RELIGION AREAS) and the enforcement of laws already on the books, to rid America and the world of the aggression of Islam. Now w/o has the responsibility to make new laws?..Our elected officials but…they seem to be COWARDS when it comes to anything to do with islam.
God, please save us from ourselves.

So let’s see if the koran’s claim in k3:3 to confirm the Bible is true?
The official laws of God are the 10 Commandments.
Exodus 20 v 1-17
they condemn murder,adultery,stealing,bearing false witness..
If the koran confirms the Bible then there will be total agreement between the teachings of the koran and the moral laws of Exodus 20 v 1-17.
There isn’t.The koran does not agree with the official laws of Exodus 20.
Thou may dishonor your parents k9:23
Thou shalt kill k2:191
Thou may commit adultery k33:50/k4:24 “what the right hand possesses”}
Thou may steal k48:20/ibn ishaq 764
Thou may bear false witness{taqqiya etc} k3:28
allah’s koranic teachings are in direct violation of the 5/6/7/8/9 commandments.
{The Bible {NT and OT} is in 100%agreement with the laws of Exodus 20.The koran is in disagreement with the laws of exodus 20}
If further proof was needed:Instead of the 2nd chief commandment{found in Judaism and Christianity} of “LOVE one another” {which could be stated as “Let’s TRY to get along “}we have allah telling moslems NOT to get along with others!
“Oh ye who believe! Take not the Jews and Christians for friends”
koran 5:51
Since the koran’s warped immoral teachings are at odds with the official moral Laws of Exodus 20,it does NOT confirm the Torah.The koran also does NOT confirm the Gospel despite allah’s claim to be the author of the Gospel k5:46
koran 3:3,which says the koran confirms the Bible is FALSE.
The koran contradicts and denies God’s Laws revealed in the Torah.
The muslim”scholars” cannot see that of course{or maybe it is easier for them to pretend not to see…like when muslims pretend those Jewish prophets Moses and Jesus were…muslims in disguise}
Since the koran contradicts the laws of God,its “scripture” will not prevail over the official laws of God of Exodus 20…which are found in the Bible{OT and NT}
J D S says
Yes….if it is not enough for the Koranic teachings to try to unravel the Holy Bible it also tries to unravel the U.S. Constitution..
The question is…Are our gutless Cowardly leaders going to stand by and not pass NEW LAWS to address the Islamic invasion of out rights and the invasion of the religion, Christianity, that our country was and is based on?????

“Bengal minister Siddiqullah Chowdhury says Quran will prevail over Constitution”
Bengal minister Siddiqullah Chowdhury means that “bullshit” should prevail over everything else.
Dude says
Essentially he is explaining that they can rob, rape, enslave, murder all non-muslims in India without prosecution.
Since they reject the law of the land, PM Modi should just give them ALL fair price for their possessions and paid transportation to a sharia state (like Pakistan, where they should have gone back in ’47). That is fair – but of course they stayed then because they hate giving up their booty. Thank God for karma; it will fall and land hard on these monsters in my lifetime.
Cicero says
Yes Karma gets everyone in the end.
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction – Law of Physics …..and Karmic Law
gravenimage says
Not every evil is automatically punished, I’m afraid. That is why civilized law is so important.
Dude says
Like karma, dude, is a Sanskrit term – actually the common expression of karma by the hip crowd is actually known as vikarma in Sanskrit as explained by the experts:
“Karma, akarma and vikarma are very clearly described in the Bhagavad-gita. Actions that are performed in terms of one’s prescribed duties, as mentioned in the revealed scriptures, are called karma. Actions that free one from the cycle of birth and death are called akarma. And actions that are performed through the misuse of one’s freedom and that direct one to the lower life forms are called vikarma. Of these three types of action, that which frees one from the bondage to karma is preferred by intelligent men. Ordinary men wish to perform good work in order to be recognized and achieve some higher status of life in this world or in heaven, but more advanced men want to be free altogether from the actions and reactions of work.”
So it may not be obvious that being bad always results in a bad reaction, but at the end it all balances out according to Vedic ontology. Of course if one believes God only gives us one kick at the cat to perfect our love for Him, then the law of karma may not always be apparent and the idiom “reap as you sow” might feel more familiar.
Dude says
Knowing that the major religious schools present differing ontologies may present confusion. I have reached an understanding for the differences – and that is: people are different, starting at different places, trying to lift themselves into a position of desiring God, and only God.
The ancient Bhagavad-Gita explains that there are three modes of nature, and humans find themselves in one of them or usually a combination of them.
As I explain the nature of the three modes of nature it will become apparent how this is true. The modes of nature (gunas) are goodness, passion and ignorance. Those predominated by the mode of GOODNESS tend to naturally seek the ultimate truth first, devoted to God; those in the mode of PASSION seek the pleasure of the body and the endless delights of the senses; and those in the mode of IGNORANCE enjoy sleeping, intoxication and nonsense.
However, if they were all to realize that they live forever, the people seeking bodily pleasure would put off seeking God until later, and those in ignorance would just stay intoxicated and asleep. Therefore, to get everybody rolling, reaching for the real goal of life, psychology is applied, with simpler religions presenting simple ontologies best suited to motivate its practitioners. Everyone gets what they need, when they need it.
Nothing less than we could expect from our kind Father.

People get the politicians they deserve . The Bengali Indians of West Bengal voted in Mamata Banerjeeas their Chief Minister..
The British rulers of India realised the clever and malleable Bengalis were bst suited to administer their rule of the mass Indian population.
Now look at them – being outbid in their own state of West Bengal by the illegal aMuslim Bangladeshi infiltrators , their Free thinking and spiritual thought being slow
Y strangulated by dwindling self confidence. And declining ahindu Bengali birthrate
Who would believed West Bengal brought forth great thinkers and spiritual leaders such as Sri Ramakrishna, Swami Vivekananda and Ravindranath Tagore

I disagree with Minister Chowdhury in the West Bengal government that Quranic law is above the constitution of India. I am a Muslim and believe that such Quranic laws which deny women their constitutional rights are archaic and should be brought in line with modern reality. Under these Quranic laws a women can be divorced by her husband by repeating three times ” I divorce you”. Under these laws women are denied child custody and inheritance after the divorce. The civil laws as envisaged in the Indian constitution treats all women, irrespective of their religious affiliation, equally. Muslims all over the world should celebrate this protection of the rights of women and girls and not adhere to 1400 years rules which are clearly anti women.

With all respect, Mr. Khan, how do you square this with the Islamic claim that the Qur’an and other texts of Islam are perfect and unchanging? Of course, I wish more Muslims thought as you do.

Most Muslims would say that this oppression of women is orthodox Islam–certainly, it is enshrined in Shari’ah law.

When we bend our laws to accommodate islam. Soon the muslims will bend us to their law.

I think the truth is getting out, and they are not as dullwitted as they seem. Soon they too will have to address the various irrational aspects we all talk about. If they really want God, they will face the paradoxes and silliness, and examine the source of their scriptures as found today. My guess is that few of them get beyond the Mecca writings.

7) @31:04 – Chains of narratives of the collection narratives are extremely weak (often just a single person)
8) @32:24 – Chiite and Sunni sources give two conflicting accounts of the collection of the Quran
9) @34:10 – Last two surah do not belong to the Quran
10) @35:09 – Companion codices have differences in their arrangements
11) @36:30 – Orthographic history of the Quran belies common sense

13) @41:19 – There were only 4 memorises of the Quran during the liftetime of the Prophet
Also the 3 instead of 5 prayer n the Coran are a clear sign of imperfectness. Likewise the incomplete different Shahadas (all without Mohammed)!
