Hatred in the Qur’an comes in the particular form of owning sex slaves: If you fear that you will not act justly towards the orphans, marry such women as seem good to you, two, three, four; but if you fear you will not be equitable, then only one, or what your right hands own; so […]
Hatred and Violence in the Qur’an Awareness Month: “If you are visited by good fortune, it vexes them; but if you are smitten by evil, they rejoice at it”
One way in which the Qur’an incites Muslims to hate non-Muslims is by telling the Muslims that the non-Muslims hate them. This is one reason why Islamic supremacists are always so quick to charge with “hate” anyone who opposes their anti-freedom agenda: not just because it is a tried-and-true tactic of manipulation in American public […]
Hatred and Violence in the Qur’an Awareness Month: “They will be laden with the burden of Allah’s anger, and poverty shall be pitched on them”
More hatred for the People of the Book — that is, primarily Jews and Christians — from sura 3 of the Qur’an: You are the best nation ever brought forth to men, bidding to honour, and forbidding dishonour, and believing in God. Had the People of the Book believed, it were better for them; some […]
Hatred and Violence in the Qur’an Awareness Month: “There is a party of the People of the Book yearn to make you go astray”
Today’s installment for Hatred and Violence in the Qur’an Awareness Month comes from sura 3, in which a large blast of hatred is directed toward the People of the Book — the Qur’an’s designation primarily for Jews and Christians — for knowing that Islam is true and yet rejecting it, “wittingly,” and even trying to […]
Hatred and Violence in the Qur’an Awareness Month: “Let not the believers take the unbelievers for friends”
Today’s entry for Hatred and Violence in the Qur’an Awareness Month has Allah telling the believers not to befriend those who are not Muslims, for the unbelievers are “insolent,” kill the prophets and tell lies: The true religion with God is Islam. Those who were given the Book were not at variance except after the […]
Hatred and Violence in the Qur’an Awareness Month: “Prescribed for you is fighting, though it be hateful to you”
Hatred and violence in today’s passage: Prescribed for you is fighting, though it be hateful to you. Yet it may happen that you will hate a thing which is better for you; and it may happen that you will love a thing which is worse for you; God knows, and you know not. They will […]
Hatred and Violence in the Qur’an Awareness Month: “And slay them wherever you come upon them”
So far this month we have only come upon verses of hatred toward unbelievers in the Qur’an. Here is the first (if one reads the Qur’an from beginning to end, not the first chronologically in the career of Muhammad as traditionally laid out) passage calling for violence: And fight in the way of God with […]
Hatred and Violence in the Qur’an Awareness Month: “The curse of Allah is on the unbelievers”
Today’s installment brings us some classic Qur’anic Jew-hatred: And when We took compact with the Children of Israel: ‘You shall not serve any save God; and to be good to parents, and the near kinsman, and to orphans, and to the needy; and speak good to men, and perform the prayer, and pay the alms.’ […]
Hatred and Violence in the Qur’an Awareness Month: “Be ye apes, miserably slinking!”
Hatred: jihadists today routinely refer to Jews as apes and pigs. This idea is rooted in Qur’an 2:63-66; 5:59-60; and 7:166. Here is 2:63-66: And when We took compact with you, and raised above you the Mount: ‘Take forcefully what We have given you, and remember what is in it; haply you shall be godfearing.’ […]
