“Muhammad is not the father of one of your men, but the messenger of Allah and last of the prophets. And ever is Allah, of all things, knowing.” (Qur’an 33:40)
And what if you don’t believe that? That’s your business, but if you make a statement that contradicts the Islamic faith, you could face prison (or worse) in majority-Muslim countries, and vilification and ostracism in the West.
It can’t happen here? It already has. A Muslim murdered Rashad Khalifa in Arizona in 1990 for just this kind of deviation from Islamic orthodoxy.
“Egypt jails man ‘receiving revelation of a new Quran from God,'” Middle East Monitor, August 27, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
An Egyptian court sentenced a man to 15 years in jail after he claimed that he received revelation from God and attempted to make changes to the Muslim holy book, the Quran.
The Port Said Criminal Court convicted Nakkash, 40, after he was arrested and confronted with the accusations made against him….
During questioning, Nakkash reiterated his allegations that he received revelation from God on a “new Quran” which he believes it is his mission to spread.
DavidR says
Now that it has come up I bet there are millions of highlighted, crossed out, doodled on, cigarette & tea stained and even altered Qurans in private hands. This guy just went public. It could benefit from a revisiting.
European pagan says
15 years because of this??
But yes, it was time to write a completely new Quran ??
FYI says
Those guys in the above picture there?
Stab in the dark here* ,but I don’t think they are the sort of guys to have a Beer and a Bacon sandwich with ,and I can’t see them at any Christmas do wishing the Christians well.
The guy in the middle cracks me up:he is pointing to a book that we know is demonstrably bogus and most likely he has never even read it.
“hey look at these squiggles!They must mean something.Shame i’m as illiterate as the prophet”
He looks like the kind of guy that, if you explained the Golden Rule to him,he really wouldn’t get it.
*Not literally as I’m not an islamic fanatic or an assassin.

FYI,
I think that picture is a staged photo-op:
“Come on guys, let’s look real scary, mean, and hateful! Come on, put that camel piss down and get over here.”
Click….
“I think the picture came out pretty good – even the Koran is right side up! You know, we’re all pretty smart!”
“By the way, Shazeb, did you eat my last jelly donut? I was saving it…”
FYI says
Most likely it is staged.Most muslims don’t have any idea about what is actually in the koran.I mean I’d hate to spoil the islamic party: but should we tell them about all errors,all the HOLES in the standard narrative controversy that is going on at the moment?
It would probably be pointless as they are convinced the koran has no errors in it despite all the evidence that shows it to be a false scripture.
PRCS says
For fun–and to check their understanding of Islam–I do enjoy challenging the posts Muslims make in subject matter YouTube video comment sections.
I have concluded:
It is those Muslim commentators who typically know the least about their ‘complete way of life’

@PRCS
When muslims complain about cartoons of muhammed and muhammed being ridiculed I ask them to Google the following word.
Buraq
They will see depictions of muhammed{ from islamic sources}…and there he is flying around on his magical Winged Flying Donkey with a woman’s face,Buraq.
Like THAT wouldn’t ridicule muhammed?
Flying around the clouds in a creature less likely to have existed in reality than a Unicorn?
And HOW did muhammed get from mecca to Jerusalem{koran 17:1}?
On this wondrous fantasy beast to visit a mosque that …actually was not even built in mo’s time.
{Imagine if some future Historian related how Napoleon visited the Eiffel Tower in 1896 in a flying saucer}
Sometimes I’ll remind them that muhammed admitted he was a false prophet{al tabari 6:111} or just write..”AORTA,my AORTA is cut”{A reference to the dying muhammed,a statement which according to allah himself,could ONLY come from someone who suspected he was a FALSE PROPHET koran 69:43-46}
When you give muslims their own sources back they start screaming and projecting as they cannot believe their OWN sources say that.
Keith O says
No no no, you got it all wrong.
That picture is a graphic representation of what 3 IQ points actually looks like.
On the other side of things, this case shows that Islam is a stagnant theology which has absolutely no intention of progressing out of the 7th century in any way shape or form.
FYI says
They are …the Abdool brothers.
Abdool,his brother Abdoool and his other brother Abdooool

Egypt: Man gets 15 years prison for claiming he had a new revelation from Allah and ‘new Qur’an’
……………..
Grotesque. If someone said they had a new Bible, they would not be imprisoned. “Blasphemy” laws ensure there is no justice in Dar-al-Islam. And remember–this is in “moderate” Egypt. In many parts of the Muslim world. this man would be sentenced to death or just murdered by the mob.
Rufolino says
In Britain if you burned a Bible in public, people might even laugh.
If you burned a Koran you would go to jail.
So which religion now rules in the UK ?
Shaun Crewe says
?????
James Lincoln says
Rufolino,
Great idea for a properly conducted prospective cohort study – with subjects follow longitudinally…

Clearly Islam rules Londonisthan!

Grimly true.

Why no forgiveness, why always commited atrocities, one problems after the others, Jesus say love ur enemy in Mathew 5 vs 43-47, and also again love ur neighborhood as your self mathew22 vs 34-40 , those it mean quar,an has no such doctrine? They say, its the religions of peace, but no forgiveness, no saving life, but destroying life why such, if u like burnt many Bibles no body will tell anything, insults prophet, he is their for u, no one to help him , he is not a weak , is a miracle,
Suchindranath Aiyer (@Suchindranath) says
Where was Egypt when Mahomet declared himself a prophet?
gravenimage says
It was mostly Christian, with a significant Jewish population.
Dremora says
This man could be mentally ill like me. Islam makes people mental patients. Living in a muslim country as a non-muslim is living with fear. I guess fear leads to insanity. Thousand times shame on Egypt for sentencing this ill man for 15 years. When will the persecution of Islam end ? I can’t count the victims.

Saudi Journalist: The Quranic Text As We Know It Contains Some 2,500 Mistakes Of Spelling And Grammar
In his January 10, 2020 article, titled “Amending The Quran,” Saudi journalist Ahmad Hashem wrote: “The Quran as we know it was written down during the period of the [third] caliph, ‘Uthman bin ‘Affan, using the ‘Uthmani script, which is named after him. Most Muslims believe that this version [of the Quran], which was written in the 37th year after the Hijra, when the compiling of the Quran was completed, and has been passed down from generation to generation to this very day, is sacred and must not be amended.
Ahmad Hashem (Source: Noumnews.comn)
“However, [the Quran] in its present form contains errors of spelling, syntax and grammar; it is estimated that there are about 2,500 such mistakes. They were made by the committee tasked with compiling the Quran, and include the addition or omission of letters in some words or the substitution of one letter for another. For example, in Surah 68, verse 6, [the word] بِأَيِّيكُمُ [“which of you”] appears, instead of بأيكم. In other words, an extra ي was added. In Surah 25, verse 4, [the word] جَآءُو [“they committed”] appears, instead of جَاءُوا or جاؤوا. In other words, the alif in the plural masculine suffix وا is missing. In Surah 28, verse 9, the word امرأت [“wife”] appears, instead of امرأة. In 54 instances, the name إبراهيم [Ibrahim] appears… as إبراهم , omitting the letter ي , and the word سماوات [“skies”] is written in this way only once, whereas in 189 other instances it appears [incorrectly] as سموت, without the letter ا… The word قرآن [“Quran”] appears 68 times without the letter ا… The word سنة [“year”] appears eight times with the letter ة [at the end] and five times with the letter ت .
“The ‘Uthmani script, in which the Quran is written, was formed by several of the Prophet’s Companions and several members of the following generation, and they deserve credit for the effort they made, according to their ability at the time. [However,] the legacy they left us can be developed and amended if there is a better and more convenient alternative, as was done [in later years] when diacritics and punctuation marks were added [to the Quranic text]. The time has come to amend the spelling errors and other errors it contains, and adapt it to the rules of the Arabic language and grammar – for the Quranic text is open to any amendment that will make Allah’s book easier for Muslims to read and linguistically more correct.”[5]
Kurdish-Iraqi Researcher: The Quran Should Be Amended; Islamic Texts Should Be Reexamined, Adapted To The Modern Age
Michael Copeland says
Many years ago there was, apparently, a man who said he had received revelations from God. He was not imprisoned for it, but he did not impress the neighbours. This is what they said:
“Indeed, he is mad.”
“Surely he is possessed!”
“He is certainly insane.”
‘Surely he is a man possessed!’
“Verily, he is a madman!”

Spot on, Michael.
OLD GUY says
Thats the thought and freedom of speech police of the islamic dictatorship headed for a neighborhood near you. If this self-proclaimed man is not a prophet then how do you know that Muhammad was a prophet?
peter says
Because Koran only revealed to Mohamed says so! This is not circular logic ,It is revelation! Don’t you get it !
