Response to Shuja and others

It seems Mr Shuja has taken the propaganda by the apologists of Islam hook and sinker.

While it is true the hadiths were written about two centuries after Islam was born but such was the scrutiny in their selection that Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim are treated by the Muslim scholars as the most important books of Islma after the Koran. If the Hadiths are false why are the Muslims still teaching these in the madaris?

Imam Bukhari had collected about 300,000 hadiths but included only about a little over seven thousand (7278) in his collection because about the authenticity of these he had no doubt.. I doubt there is more information available today to suspect their authenticity.

Anyway, Hadiths apart the Koran itself is quite clear as to how the Kafirs are to be treated. I need not go into details of all those verses of the Koran. These are well known to all who have looked into them on the internet or in the Koran itself.

Saudi Arabia is the birth place of Islam and the Saudi kings regard themselves as the protectors of Islam and its holy places. They would not indulge in any practice that will bring infamy to Islam. They can hardly be accused of not knowing what Islam is all about.

It is the stupid kafirs who refuse to accept the reality of Islam, and they will pay for it with their lives.
