Qanta A. Ahmed “is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and a member of the Committee on Combating Contemporary Anti-Semitism Through Testimony at the University of Southern California Shoah Foundation.” Here she claims that “Islam reveres Judaism, the Torah, Moses and the Jewish people as legitimate believers, and Jerusalem as belonging only to the Jews — all documented within the Quran.”
Unfortunately, none of that is true. There is a strong native strain of anti-Semitism in Islam, rooted in the Qur’an. The Qur’an puts forward a clear, consistent image of the Jews: they are scheming, treacherous liars and the most dangerous enemies of the Muslims.
The Qur’an presents Muhammad as the last and greatest in the line of Biblical prophets, preaching a message identical to theirs. The identical character of their messages may seem odd to those who know very well that the Qur’an’s contents are quite different in character from those of the Bible, but the Qur’an has an ingenious explanation for this: the original message of all the Biblical prophets was Islam, and they were all Muslims. Only later did their followers corrupt their messages to create Judaism and Christianity.
Consequently, in the Qur’an, Abraham is not a Jew or a Christian, but a Muslim (3:67); his message was identical to Muhammad’s. The Islamic claim is that the authentic Torah actually commands Jews to follow Muhammad and recognize his prophecy. Those who refuse to accept Muhammad as a prophet are, in the Muslim view, rejecting both Moses and the prophecies of the Torah. It is no surprise, then, that in the Qur’an both David and Jesus curse the disbelieving Jews for their disobedience (5:78).
Yet of course, Torah-observant Jews did not and do not accept Muhammad as a prophet, and this, according to Islamic tradition, enraged the prophet of Islam during his lifetime. According to Islamic tradition, Muhammad initially appealed energetically to the Jews, hoping they would accept his prophetic status. He even had the Muslims imitate the Jews by facing Jerusalem for prayers, and he adopted for the Muslims the Jews’ prohibition of pork. But he was infuriated when the Jews rejected him, and Allah shared his fury in Qur’anic revelation: “And when there came to them a messenger from Allah, confirming what was with them, a party of the people of the Book threw away the Book of Allah behind their backs, as if they did not know!” (2:101).
Another Jewish leader noted that “no covenant was ever made with us about Muhammad.” Allah again responded through his Prophet: “Is it ever so that when they make a covenant a party of them set it aside? The truth is, most of them do not believe” (2:100). In fact, Allah gave food laws to the Jews because of their “wrongdoing,” and “for their turning many from the way of Allah” (4:160), and by doing so, “repaid them for their injustice” (6:146). Some Jews are “avid listeners to falsehood” who “distort words beyond their usages.” These are “the ones for whom Allah does not intend to purify their hearts,” and they will be punished not just in hellfire but in this life as well: “For them in this world is disgrace, and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment” (5:41).
Jews dare to deny divine revelation, claiming that “Allah did not reveal to a human being anything,” to which Muhammad is told to respond, “Who revealed the Scripture that Moses brought as light and guidance to the people? You [Jews] make it into pages, disclosing some of it and concealing much” (6:91).
Muslims should not get close to such people: “O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as friends. They are friends of one another. And whoever is a friend to them among you, indeed, he is of them. Indeed, Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people” (5:51). It would hardly be appropriate for Muslims to act peaceably toward the Jews when the Jews, according to the Qur’an, are prone to war – especially against Muslims. Whenever the Jews “kindle the fire of war,” says the Qur’an, “Allah extinguishes it” (5:64).
Ultimately, Allah transforms disobedient Jews into apes and pigs (2:63-66; 5:59-60; 7:166). While the Qur’an says that Muslims are the “best of people” (3:110), the unbelievers are “like livestock” (7:179). “Indeed, the worst of living creatures in the sight of Allah are those who have disbelieved, and they will not believe” (8:55).
The Jews also “strive to do mischief on earth” – that is, fasaad, for which the punishment is specified in Qur’an 5:33: “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.”
The rebellion against Allah that has resulted in the Jews’ degradation – the “terrible agony” that those who have rejected Islam are to feel “in this world” as well as in the next (3:56) – is a frequent preoccupation of the Qur’an. Departing from his earlier tendency to appeal to the Jews as the authorities on what Allah had revealed, Muhammad began to criticize them for concealing parts of that revelation. The Qur’an several times criticizes Jews for refusing to follow Muhammad, asking, “Why don’t the Jews’ rabbis stop their evil behavior?” (5:63)
Someone who believes in the Qur’an as the perfect and eternal word of Allah, and the authentic Hadith as the records of the statements and actions of the man whom the Qur’an designates as the “excellent example” (33:21) for Muslims to emulate will accordingly form a negative view of Jews.
How could such a believing Muslim ever accept being friends and neighbors with “the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers”? How can he carry out good-faith negotiations for peace with people who fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181)? How can he trust those who claim that Allah’s power is limited (5:64) and who are “avid listeners to falsehood” and “distort words beyond their usages” (5:41)?
A pious and knowledgeable Muslim will discover in his Qur’an that the Jews are busy hiding the truth and misleading people (3:78). They staged rebellion against the prophets and rejected their guidance (2:55), and even killed them (2:61). They prefer their own interests to the teachings of Muhammad (2:87). They wish evil for people and trying to mislead them (2:109), and even feel pain when others are happy or fortunate (3:120). They’re arrogant about their status as Allah’s beloved people (5:18) while devouring people’s wealth by subterfuge (4:161); slandering the true religion (4:46); and killing the prophets (2:61). They’re merciless and heartless (2:74); unrestrained in committing sins (5:79); cowardly (59:13-14) and miserly (4:53). They are under Allah’s curse (4:46, 9:30).
An informed and committed believer will look at the Jews, and in particular at Zionism and the State of Israel, and not see a struggle over land or boundaries that can be solved through negotiations if a sufficient amount of good will exists on both sides. Such a believer is much more likely to see the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as an eschatological struggle against the great spiritual enemies of the Muslims, as the Jews are designated in the Qur’an: “You will surely find the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers to be the Jews…” (5:82)
The Qur’an’s condemnations of the Jews are repeatedly sweeping: the Muslim holy book refers again and again to “the Jews,” not simply to one party among them. The Qur’an does include the Jews (along with “Christians and Sabeans”) among those who “will have their reward with their Lord, and no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve” (2:62), but mainstream Muslim commentators are not inclined to see this as an indication of divine pluralism. The Qur’an translators Abdullah Yusuf Ali, Mohammed Marmaduke Pickthall, and Muhammad Asad all add parenthetical glosses that make the passage mean that the Jews referred to in this passage will be saved only if they become Muslims. Qur’an.com adds “before Prophet Muhammad” in brackets after “Jews or Christians or Sabeans,” making it clear that those three could only be saved as such before the advent of Islam, but now they must convert to Islam to be saved.
What’s more, the Qur’an also says that “they who disbelieved among the People of the Book and the polytheists will be in the fire of hell, abiding eternally in it. Those are the most vile of created beings.” (98:6) Those who “disbelieved among the People of the Book” are the Jews and Christians who did not convert to Islam.
And Islamic tradition is no kinder to the Jews. The Hadith, reports of Muhammad’s words and deeds that, if deemed authentic by Islamic scholars, are normative for Islamic law, contain a great deal of anti-Semitic material. In one, as if apes and pigs weren’t bad enough, Muhammad says that a group of Jews “assumed the shape of rats.” In another, he exclaims: “May Allah’s curse be on the Jews for they built the places of worship at the graves of their Prophets.”
Islam’s most frequently repeated prayer is a passage from the Qur’an in which the believers ask Allah: “Guide us to the straight path, the path of those upon whom you have bestowed favor, not of those who have evoked anger or of those who are astray.” (1:6-7) Muhammad explains: “The Jews are those who Allah is angry with, and the Christians have strayed.”
The most notorious anti-Semitic passage in all of the Hadith is the one in which Muhammad is made to prophecy that Muslims will bring about the End Times by killing Jews wholesale: “The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.’”
This passage gives all the anti-Semitism in Islam an edge of menace. Muslims are taught in their holiest books not just to despise and mistrust Jews, but that they are doing a good and virtuous deed if they kill them, a deed that will bring about the consummation of all things and the dawning of eternal justice for mankind.
As for Qanta Ahmed’s claim that the Qur’an says Jerusalem belongs to the Jews, it is based primarily upon Qur’an 5:21, in which Moses declares, “O my people! Enter the holy land which Allah has assigned to you, and turn not back ignominiously, for then you will be overthrown, to your own ruin.” One might wonder why, if this exegesis is correct, the Islamic world from Morocco to Indonesia manifests such hostility to Israel. Why have so few Muslims ever noticed that Allah actually wants the Jews to possess the Land of Israel? One reason may be that they read such Qur’anic passages as 2:61, which says that some Jews who rebelled against Moses were “covered with humiliation and misery; they drew on themselves the wrath of Allah. This because they went on rejecting the Signs of Allah and slaying His Messengers without just cause. This because they rebelled and went on transgressing.”
The Qur’an also says the Jews broke whatever covenant with Allah they had: “And because of their breaking their covenant, We have cursed them and made hard their hearts. They change words from their context and forget a part of that whereof they were admonished. You will not cease to discover treachery from all except a few of them. But bear with them and pardon them. Lo! Allah loves the kindly” (5:13).
Being thus accursed according to the Qur’an, the Jews are not the legitimate inheritors of the promise made in Qur’an 5:21. The ones who are the inheritors of that promise are those who have remained faithful to Allah – the Muslims – not those whom he has accursed – the Jews.
Does Qanta Ahmed know all this, and doesn’t want us to know it? Or is she claiming to be an expert on “Islamism” without being familiar with this material?
“OPINION: Ilhan Omar Brings Shame To American Muslims,” by Qanta Ahmed, Daily Caller, February 14, 2019:
Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), an American Muslim of Somali origin, shames American Muslims with the anti-Semitism she has brought to Congress.
As a naturalized American and a Muslim woman myself, it was gratifying to see the first Muslim women in American history elected to Congress inaugurated this year….
But as a Muslim devoted to combatting contemporary anti-Semitism by serving within the University of Southern California Shoah Foundation, I am deeply dismayed to see Omar brandished anti-Semitic beliefs almost immediately after assuming office. They are beliefs she has held for years. (Leaders of Minnesota’s Jewish community approached her prior to her election to express deep concern regarding her anti-Semitic leanings)….
Worse, as a Muslim expert in Islamism, I recognize her anti-Semitism as emblematic of deep Islamist sympathies. Political scientists identify anti-Semitism clearly circumscribed within Islamist ideologies and charters to consistently lionize a new Islamist anti-Semitism as a central Islamist tenet contingent on the extinction of the Jewish people. Her affiliation with Islamists must be examined….
For Muslims in America, we are faced with the realization that Muslim anti-Semites claim to speak for our Islamic faith and our Muslim identity. They invite hostility to our own communities, and more misunderstanding of Islam within America. This is despite the reality that Islam reveres Judaism, the Torah, Moses and the Jewish people as legitimate believers, and Jerusalem as belonging only to the Jews — all documented within the Quran. The Quran’s truths will go unknown in the shadow of Muslim congresswomen spewing anti-Semitism and all Muslims will be thus branded anti-Semites….

Dr. Qanta Ahmed is Fox’s go to Muslim for all things Islamic. I’ve sent e-mails to Fox advising them that either this woman is lying or doesn’t know anything about Islam despite being a Muslim. She seems to see Islam in the same light as Dr. Jasser. I’ve suggested that they speak to Robert Spencer but, so far, that has not happened.

KILLING JEWS AND CHRISTIANS IS COMPULSORY BECAUES THEY HAVE INVENTED SCRIPTURE:
The Tafsir of Surat At-Tawbah (Chapter 9)
22. Fighting the Jews and Christians is legislated because They are Idolators and Disbelievers
Allah the Exalted encourages the believers to fight the polytheists, disbelieving Jews and Christians, who uttered this terrible statement and utter lies against Allah, the Exalted. As for the Jews, they claimed that `Uzayr was the son of God, Allah is free of what they attribute to Him. As for the misguidance of Christians over `Isa, it is obvious. This is why Allah declared both groups to be liars,
[ذلِكَ قَوْلُهُم بِأَفْوَهِهِمْ]
Also …….
The Tafsir of Surat At-Tawbah (Chapter 9) “Fight against them (Jews and Christians) so that Allah will punish them by your hands, and disgrace them and give you victory over them, and heal the breasts of a believing people.”
(The commentary of Ibn Katheer states, “this is an appeal (ighraa’) to the believers (Muslims) to battle the unbelievers (kufaar) from among the Jews and Christians.”)
This Ayah includes all believers, even though Mujahid, `Ikrimah and As-Suddi said that it refers to Khuza`ah.
Duty to Conduct Jihad Separates Real Muslims from Disobedient Ones – Jihad is the litmus test of Islamic Faith
Allah will not leave the believers in the state in which you are now, until He distinguishes the wicked from the good) [3:179]. In summary, since Allah legislated Jihad for His servants, He explained that the wisdom behind doing so includes testing His servants, distinguishing between those who obey Him and those who disobey Him. Allah, the Exalted, is the All-Knower of what occurred, what will occur, and the true essence of what might occur had He decided it. Therefore, Allah knows everything before it occurs and how it will occur, there is no deity worthy of worship except Him, nor a Lord except Him. Truly, there is none who can avert Allah’s judgment and decision.
Liar. Caught you, Dr. Ahmed.
J D.S says
The Koran is moot……nothing in it is from God…..Why would I say that? Simple answer…..
John, in his revelation was the LAST OF GODS PROPHETS…John, through God’s revelation to him, said it all…Therefore there was and is no need for another prophet…..so where did muhammad get his so called vision? Like I said, JOHN SAID IT ALL Read and study Revelations along with other scriptures found in the Old and New Treatments and one will see that there was and is no need for other prophets…God ended the prophetic mission with John’s Revelation and John was a DISCIPLE of the son of God., Jesus…Of course muslims don’t believe that Jesus is the Son if God and therein lies the problem..So where did muhammad get his visions and what kind of a trance was He in when he supposedly received them?
J D.S says
Oh by the way I forgot to mention that John in his prophetic Revelation didn’t tell us to kill anyone…not do with Muhammad.

How do you send emails to Fox without giving your life’s history?.
Like most of these sites, they want a huge form filled out with your address, phone number, birth date, pizza topping preferences, and anything else they can think of that is none of their business.

It’s surprisingly easy. Just look up the email addresses of the various Fox shows. The info. can be hard to find but it is there.

Wellington says
If you’re a Muslim and you don’t despise Jews (and Christians and Hindus and Buddhists and, and, and….) then you are not a good Muslim. If you are a good Muslim, then you must despise all non-Muslims (e.g., Sura 3:110 respecting how Muslims are “the best of peoples” and how Christians and Jews “must be subdued and pay the jizya” per Sura 98:6).
Yes, a good Muslim is a disgrace to the human race and a Muslim who is ignorant of their own religion and spouts nonsense about Islam revering Judaism, etc., should never be counted on. Those knowingly adhering to an evil belief system (and yes, Islam is evil) are execrable and those unknowingly adhering to an evil belief system are useless.
In short, ALL Muslims are useless one way or another.
Terry Gain says
Wellington
Unfortunately, but predictably, so long as Islam is referred to and thought of as a religion, it won’t occur to most Americans who are, unlike you, religious, that Islam is evil. Most people are too busy earning a living and raising their families to have the time to come here and learn that Islam is evil.
So good luck with your failed approach, my friend.
Wellington says
Terry: You don’t seem to comprehend what I have been trying to convey to you many times over, to wit, even assuming you are correct that Islam is not a religion (something which I know you know by now I don’t agree with because religions can be evil as well as good—and, personally speaking, since I am not religious at all I have a rather detached view on this matter), it is imperative for this “take” on Islam to be accepted by the elites in Western society, especially the politicians and judges. So, what have you done to insure this?
You keep functioning in pure theory land and call my approach a failed one? Please look in the nearest mirror for the person with the real failed approach in this regard.
If “only” Islam was viewed by the vast majority of Western politicians and judges as a negative, though still considered a religion, we would be vastly ahead of where we are now. We’re not even to this point and yet you keep going on in your own little world about how Islam is not a religion. This approach of yours is the true route to legal Nowheresville and I write this as the attorney that I am.
Concrete solutions. Try it for a change.
mortimer says
Interesting comments and deductions from Wellington, in particular his suggestion that If “only Islam was viewed by the vast majority of Western politicians and judges as a negative, though still considered a religion, we would be vastly ahead of where we are now.”
If Western politicians and judges clearly OBSERVED that Islam is PRIMARILY a POLITICAL IDEOLOGY (i.e. a ‘DEEN’ … Arabic for ‘GOVERNANCE’), then we be ahead of where we are now.
The ‘DEEN’ (government and constitution) of Islam is incompatible with all other ‘DEENS’.
Terry Gain says
You don’t comprehend that your approach has failed. The “religion” of Islam is ascendant.
gravenimage says
Terry, people fought and triumphed over Islam for centuries in the West while considering Islam to be an evil religion.
Surely you don’t consider the victories at Poitiers, Lepanto, and the Gates of Vienna to have been failures?
The problem now is “political correctness”, ignorance of the threat of Islam, and denial–not Islam being considered an evil religion.
mortimer says
Wellington said, “If you’re a Muslim and you don’t despise Jews (and Christians and Hindus and Buddhists and, and, and….) then you are not a good Muslim.”
To be precise … Wellington is paraphrasing the APARTHEID doctrine of Islam (called Al Walaa wal Baraa).
Muslims who do not believe AND practice Al Walaa wal Baraa (loving Muslims and hating kafirs) are excluded from Islamic paradise.
Muslims are required to hate and show hostility towards the disbelieving KUFAAR ‘for the sake of Allah’.
CRUSADER says
It seems that Islam can be taken as a religion, certainly, as it lifts from other religions.
But it doesn’t mean it is truly a faith. So much of Islam is political and economic.
It does become a belief system, but that just means people are easily duped.
Faith is something very deep and personal and spiritual, transcending the political and the economic, which Islam doesn’t seem to be able to do.
That said, here is another religious dupe: a Leftist!
He speaks to the tired rant about colonialism, capitalism, whites, Christians, blah blah blah…
He says this in defense of current MN Rep. Ilhan Omar:
(“Just the perspective of a working guy, trade unionist and socialist. Also, Where I say that all left and progressive forces should support her in this courageous calling out of a war criminal and her criticism of AIPAC for which she should not have apologized I also meant, although neglected to include all socialists and socialist organizations.”)

Hari Singh says
Yes Islam reveres the Torah the Korannsays The Torah-Taurat and God-Injil are authentic scriptures. The problem is that if the Torah & Gospel are authentic texts then the Koran is wrong as it’s basic teaching contradict the Gospel and Koran.

Suras 5:46/4:163-164
Bible unchanged
Suras 3:3, 35:31, 2:97
Allahs word unchanged sura 6:115
gravenimage says
Hari, Islam says that both the Torah and Gospels were “corrupted” by Jews and Christians, and that things like the Golden Rule and a loving God are falsehoods.
mortimer says
Hari Singh is using a Christian apologetic argument. However, the mullahs ignore those Koranic verses or re-interpret the heck out of them. (His interpretations of these verses is logical, but Islam is opportunistic and so the verses are not often used by Muslim apologists.)
The verses quoted by Singh are from the early Koran of Mecca which is abrogated by the Koran of Medina.
The two parts of the Koran contradict each other.
eduardo odraude says
Here’s perhaps the best explanation of the argument to which Hari Singh alludes.

Muslim member of Council on Foreign Relations claims “Islam reveres Judaism, the Torah, Moses and the Jewish people”

Ah…right.
There is a loop hole here–Muslims claim that Moses–“Musa”–was actually Muslim, along with the rest of the Jewish prophets and that the Torah–“Torat”–was originally as savage as the Qur’an, before the dirty Jews “corrupted it”.

1. Might have just been a brain-fart, but on Pirro’s show, Ahmed said “I’m a Naturalized Muslim”.
Just a note, if it wasn’t: we don’t have Naturalized Catholics, Buddhists, Jains, Hindus, Muslims, etc. We have Naturalized U.S. Citizens (as is my wife).
2. Pirro–apparently unfamiliar with Islam–bought Ahmed’s spiel, hook line and sinker. But, Ahmed has fooled many with her whitewash of Islam.
mgoldberg says
She has been peddling this for some ten yrs now if I remember correctly. She my be a well intentioned person but the problems with her private belief are as Robert says, contrary to Qu’ran and Mohammed.
The 54 documented prophets of Israel, all of them, men and women, had a consistent message. None of them sound anything like Mohammed. He wasn’t a prophet of Israel, nor a prophet period.
Qanta Ahmed likes to peddle such notions as Mohammed and Aisha’s marriage was a 7th century cultural thing, and to be understood on those terms.
But I’ve never heard her explain the 600-900 homicided Jews of Medina which were homicidied by Mohammed and watched by him and his Aisha. That and dozens of homicidal acts of Mohammed and his merry band of homicidists and the history go unexplained by her.
She will of course try to sell her own sophisticated belief system- that Islam is nothing of the Jihadists hatred,venality and bigotry, but then what is the entirety of Sharia, if not just that. What is the entirety of the
submission of others and history of that without Mohammed, and his eternal commands.
She will politely speak of the difficulties of ‘palestinians’ but I don’t hear her wailing about the homicidism of the imams and sheiks in the muslim population raging about the infidel jews and the eternal calls for submission and hatred of them. And so on and so on and on and on…..
Keys says
Yes, “She my be a well intentioned person but the problems with her private belief are as Robert says, contrary to Qu’ran and Mohammed.”
Though she has a doctorate in ????, she is not a spokesperson for Islam. Her “private beliefs” contradict the eternal and immutable word of Allah in the Koran, as well as the teaching of Allah’s final Prophet and “perfect” man, Mohammad; not to mention the teachings of the Muslim authorities of all the Sunni and Shia schools.
She must know this, which begs the questions why is she lying to herself (or others) by denying this fundamental and basic teaching of Islam, and why is she still a muslim ?

Quite right. Dr. Ahmed is clearly on a damage-limitation exercise and in true taqqiya tradition will cobble together the most unlikely rubbish to throw people off the scent. It’s a shame that, by saying the ‘right’ things in the ‘right’ way, epecially with what sounds like a cut-glass British accent, she seemed to fool even the most astute interviewer. Frightening to think how easily these frauds can con their way to the top of political establishment.

When I heard Dr. Ahmed and her taqiyya BS on Judge Jeanine, I started yelling at the TV…can’t believe the Judge could be so ignorant of Islam. No one on FoxNews ever challenges Dr. Ahmed’s or Dr. Zuhdi Jasser’s convenient fairy tale separation of “Islam” from the supposed evil twin of “Islamism.” Never trust a Muslim who pretends that Islam is compatible w/ Judeo-Christian Western Civilization…including all those reformers and heretics who nonetheless righteously maintain their identity as a Muslim as a follower of an ideology invented by a “false prophet” who was a despicable, inhumane, pedophile, sex slaver, warmongering, misogynistic monster who chopped off the heads of 600-900 enemy Jews at the Battle of the Trench—because they refused to believe in Islam and Muhammad’s religious tyranny. Why would anyone want to be Muslim if they were not forced to in order to protect themselves against being killed for apostasy?

You might be interested in this if you are Jewish..
Jerusalem is not even mentioned in the koran.It is not important enough to allah.
allah,being the monoglot god of islam,can only be understood in Arabic{“And if we had appointed it a koran in a foreign tongue they would assuredly have said;if only its verses were expounded so that we might understand.What!A foreign tongue and an Arab?
Koran 41:44}But isn’t the Torah in HEBREW,not arabic{“what! A foreign tongue..?”}
Jews might be surprised to know that Moses had the Torah,given him by allah.
“And verily WE gave unto Moses the Scripture”
K2:87
[in the SAME surah,earlier on,the Jews are called “apes to be despised and hated” k2:65.That shows you that allah cannot accept Moses was Jewish]
“Abraham was not a Jew” k3:67,because if he was,then he would be one of those” apes to be despised and hated”k2:65,wouldn’t he?By allah’s antisemitic logic,Abraham has to be a muslim.Abraham cannot possibly be Jewish.
In k3:3 the claim is made that the koran confirms the Bible{OT+NT}:it doesn’t.
The koran CONTRADICTS AND DENIES both the Torah and the Gospel.
Those essential Exodus 20:1-17 laws are violated by the warped teachings of the koran in such a way as to allow muslims to get away with breaking them,including murder etc..and of course allah COMPLETELY MISSED the important 2 chief commandments{Deut 6:4-9,Lev 19:18}That explains the hate{=the absence of LOVE}
k3:3 is clearly a FALSE statement in allah’s “perfect” book.
sahih muslim 6985 calls for the destruction of the Jews{see what the lefties,secular Jews and islamic apologists have to say about that FACT..}
Did you know that in islam,there is a tree called the Gharqad tree and its called the “tree of the Jews”.I’m not sure why:does it whisper in Hebrew,a language allah cannot relate to?Is it a Tree that understands the concept of actually OBEYING God’s Exodus 20 Commandments …as muslims don’t?
Did you know Solomon had an army of “Jinn and humans and…of the birds” k27:17-18 and the Ants,who of course in the koran can speak said “O ants!Enter your dwellings lest Solomon and his armies crush you,unperceiving”?Talking ants.
There is a story about Muslim Moses{Abu Huraira narrated} who once went out to take a bath and ..a STONE RAN AWAY WITH HIS CLOTHES…..Muslim Moses ran after it and beat it saying “Oh clothes!oh Stone!”…that doesn’t sound like Jewish Moses does it?
allah’s contempt and denial of the role of the Jews is demolished by the following statement:-“It is from the Jews that Salvation comes” John 4 v 22,from the Gospel,a book
that allah claims he wrote k3:3 and in k5:46 even claims confirms the Torah.
It seems that from going from the Bible{which allah claims to be the author of}to the koran{which muslims believe allah is the author of},allah completely lost the concept of the role of the Jews.The truth is that allah did NOT author the Torah{besides, the Torah was written by humans empowered by God’s wisdom.It is not as if a copy of the Torah fell out of the sky and Moses found it..}

As a Christian I align with the Jews against Islam which blasphemes God. I am amazed that we have the intelligence to go to the moon but do not have the intelligence to refute the Islamic moon God for all of his idiotic and obviously false notions.

The most notorious anti-Semitic passage in all of the Hadith is the one in which Muhammad is made to prophecy that Muslims will bring about the End Times by killing Jews wholesale: “The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.’”

Attention, entrepreneurial hadith-savvy nurserymen:
The gharqad tree is of the genus Lycium and is known more commonly in English as the box-thorn; see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lycium
The box-thorn makes good protective vegetation for land bordering mosques, to provide an effective barrier (a.k.a. a “wall”) against marauding Muslims when the time comes. All that is needed is a good marketing program to encourage the proliferation of this decorative shrub as “the new kudzu of North America”.

I like judge Jeanine Pirro but we really need to quote the experts of Islam. Bringing on guests with their varying opinions does not help us clarify the faith. They are a distraction. Qanta A. Ahmed may be well meaning but her interpretation of the faith does not jive with what we see in the ME. The unyielding Islamic institutions have the power, individuals like Ahmed are just fodder for them. Unless we expose all the ugliness of Islam for all to see, again and again and draw a line in the sand expect Islam to grind up everything in its path.
eduardo odraude says
Okay, but the word you want is “jibe” not “jive”.
Keys says
Ya, but Qanta is a jive talker.

Islam is indeed a religion – a supernatural religion at that, but it is not from God. Islam originated from Lucifer in the cave at Hira when he (Lucifer) appeared as Gabriel to Muhammad. Who else but Lucifer could have thought up such an evil wicked entity as Islam.
John McMenamin says
Christianity teaches that the God of the Bible is the source of all knowledge. (Proverbs 1:7).
According to Islam the source of all knowledge is the Qur’an, the Hadiths, and the Bible.The Qur’an says that the Bible is a previous revelation from God. (Surah 6:114 “…Those unto whom We gave the Scripture [the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] know that it is revealed from your Lord in truth…”; Surah 5:46 “And We sent, following in their footsteps, Jesus, the son of Mary, confirming that which came before him in the Torah; (The Law of Moses) and We gave him the Gospel, in which was guidance and light and confirming that which preceded it of the Torah as guidance and instruction for the righteous.” FACT, Jesus had been DEAD for over 50 YEARS when the Gospels were Written so no way did allah give Jesus the Gospels. allah is the god of Pagan Arabia and Not The God of Jesus, Moses and Abraham. quran 4;157 “SAHIH INTERNATIONAL And [for] their saying, “Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah .” And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble him to them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And they did not kill him, for certain.” quran says Jesus was not Crucified or Resurrected but the Gospels in which the quran says allah gave a DEAD Jesus says He WAS Crucified and Resurrected . MASSIVE CONTRADICTION from the Fraudulent SATANIC quran. Surah 3:54 says, “Allah is the greatest of all deceivers.” How then can you trust him?
Proof that the Bible alone is true
1. If the Qur’an is true, the Bible is true. (Surah 6:114 ; Surah 6:34 ; Surah 6:115)
2. The Bible is true, and teaches that any revelation that contradicts it is false.
3. The Qur’an contradicts the Bible.
4. Therefore, the Qur’an is false. The name of Allah originated in polytheism and long before Islam ever arose. Mohammed was born in 570 and began preaching about his new religion of Islam (with Allah as its god) around 610. He gained 150 converts in his first 13 years of evangelism in Mecca and then went to Medina where he pursued physical, or combat, jihad while acquiring 100,000 converts up until his death in 632 A.D. using the name of Allah. However, the god name Allah had existed several centuries before Mohammed co-opted it as the god of Islam. Allah was a truncated form of Al-Ilah, one of the 360 pagan deities worshipped by the nomadic pagan and polytheistic Arabs at the Kaaba in Mecca before, during, and after the time of Christ.Mohammed’s father was also named Abdullah (meaning “slave of Allah”.) A tribe of Jews was called Abdullah bin Salam in the Bukhari Hadith.

The things of God…. and islam…. are…. mutually EXCLUSIVE.
Meaning… there is… NO intersection. There is no overlap in their circles in the venn diagram.
They have NOTHING IN COMMON.
Zero.

Terry, people fought and triumphed over Islam for centuries in the West while considering Islam to be an evil religion.
Surely you don’t consider the victories at Poitiers, Lepanto, and the Gates of Vienna to have been failures?
The problem now is “political correctness”, ignorance of the threat of Islam, and denial–not Islam being considered an evil religion.
…….
Good grief GI, what on earth are you talking about? Those triumphs were the result of military battles., fought by people who refused to accept that Islam was legitimate. As I asked yesterday, is that what you want, military battles? Please, you are smarter than this. I think.
If we are not prepared to fight Islam as an deology, we will lose. Conceding that Islam is a religion will result in certain failure.
gravenimage says
No, I don’t want military battles. But I would rather have military battles than caving to Islam.
And no, ending Muslims flooding into our nations, and starting deportations, beginning with the worst Jihadists, are *not* military actions.
And I’m afraid you are mistaken in believing that if Islam *were* declared a non-religion that this would render it benignant.
CRUSADER says
Amen to that!
We need to see that the ideology behind Islam needs addressing seriously.
Deporting and prosecuting and legally executing Jihadists are all necessary.
Delegitimizing their ideology is crucial. Seb Gorka has spoken to this.
Then again, Irshad Manji seems to think that we label too much in society….
See the latest NEWSWEEK article by her.
By the way, can she be a Muslim and a very liberal-minded lesbian, at the same time?
Obviously she can in her own mind, but do the orthodox Muslims see this as viable?
Not. Do the orthodox Muslims run the show? Yes.
Or Else! says
Baby steps.
Next step is to get a Muslim (or ex-Muslim) to go on mainstream media and say both of them are incorrect.
(FOX might do that….but the Lefty networks would never do it.)
The Muslim Brotherhood likely doesn’t mind Muslims arguing amongst themselves, as long as it furthers Islam….but Dr. Ahmed might get a “reminder” to ease up a bit on Omar. Ha!
Steve Wampler says
‘Dr Ahmed’ is ignorant or untruthful about the Koran…BUT she does know about Taqiyya!
nothalal says
I have her auto-biography. It tells that she was born in England of Pakistani muslims. They were not observant, no more than a few prayers, and she was not forced to wear the hijab. She went to a catholic school, where she learned Judeo-Christian ideology. He parents were kind and not crazy so she thinks that is Islam. In her book she even uses the term MY ISLAM as opposed to the Islam she saw when she worked for 2 years as a doctor in Saudi Arabia. She was there on 9-11 and tells about the abhorrent celebrating that went on among the Saudi doctors and nurses-they brought cake. She’s delusional and ignorant about Islam.
gravenimage says
That, or she’s whitewashing it.
Dano says
Their constant lies incense me. They revere their god and their prophet, everything else is hated by them.
IanB says
Terry Gain’s point that religious people assume Islam is benign because it is termed a religion is a good one. It will not occur to many, out of ignorance, that it is malignant.
Any religion GOOD. Only Atheism BAD. That is the prevailing attitude amongst the religious.
It takes knowledge and insight to realise Islam is a cult, not a religion.
Islam is deadly: a supremacist, totalitarian, parasitic death cult wishing to devour the world and it has only a thin veneer of RELIGIOSITY.
sidney penny says
“Worse, as a Muslim expert in Islamism, I recognize her anti-Semitism as emblematic of deep Islamist sympathies.”
Is she a friend of Daniel Pipes who also uses the word Islamism?
gravenimage says
I think Daniel Pipes is much too hopeful that Islam can be reformed. But he is a genuine Anti-Jihadist, and would never whitewash Islam with this kind of dishonest nonsense.
CRUSADER says
How do we delineate between devout yet not jihadist Muslims and those who would join the jihad?
If we paint all Muslims together, we are going to turn the bulk of Muslims into a tide against us.
Not only that, we will lose the ears of our fellow citizens when we really do need them to listen.
This may have to be done in stages.
I understand that promulgating this notion of “moderation” in Islam and “reformation” in Islam can
only undermine efforts to curb the flow of Islamic influence into Western society and institutions,
because it works like an enabler of Islam’s popularity — thus, “it’s alright to embrace Muslims within our communities and to widen their influence and residency in the West, because there are such people
as good Muslims (not all Muslims are bad)”….
We allow for an increase in Muslim influence and demographics at our wider peril.
But we need to gain a foothold on the common knowledge here in the West, and if it takes first delineating among Muslims, we should do so. Ergo: Islamists and Extremists as terms to use in the meantime….
+++++++++++++
CRUSADER says
If there isn’t a Muslim on the board of your organization you just aren’t doing the cool thing.
So it would seem.
Crazy!!!
