Dr. Anwar, you wrote:

>>Quran says that man can beome worse than stone heart and here we have some examples. ...<<

The Koran may have said that. But does it prohibit Muslims from having stone hearts? Let us start with the example of the Prophet himself who should have been the most knowledgeable about the Koran:

From the Life of Muhammad, (Ibn Ishaq's Sirat Rasul Allah, translated by A Guillaume) Published Oxford University Press, PAKISTAN: Page 308 …When he was in Irqu a Zabya Uqba was killed. He had been captured by Abdullah b. Salima, one of the B al-Ajlan.

When the apostle ordered him to be killed ‘Uqba said, ‘But who will look after my children, O Muhammad?' ‘Hell', he said, and ‘Asim b. Thabit b. Abul Aqlah al-Ansari killed him ….'

Here is your Prophet stone-heartedly telling a man about to be killed pleading for his children that they will be looked after by hell.

Here is another stone-hearted story I found in Bukhari.

Bukhari. Volume 9, Book 84, Number 58:

Narrated Abu Burda:

…..There was a fettered man beside Abu Muisa. Mu'adh asked, "Who is this (man)?" Abu Muisa said, "He was a Jew and became a Muslim and then reverted back to Judaism." Then Abu Muisa requested Mu'adh to sit down but Mu'adh said, "I will not sit down till he has been killed. This is the judgment of Allah and His Apostle (for such cases) and repeated it thrice. Then Abu Musa ordered that the man be killed, and he was killed. Abu Musa added, "Then we discussed the night prayers and one of us said, 'I pray and sleep, and I hope that Allah will reward me for my sleep as well as for my prayers.'"

Reading the last part about the stone-hearted murderers, after having cold-bloodedly killed an innocent man, coolly discussing the rewards Allah has in store for them both for sleep and prayer, sent a cold shiver down my spine.

>> It was Islam which gave you all universities, all hosptilas, all education otherwise entire Europe was in dark ages.<<

If you were the masters who taught Europe, what happened in the Muslim world? Why are Muslim universities in the dumps? Where have all the great Muslim teachers disappeared? Last I heard they were seriously discussing jinns, angels, the niqab, the splitting of the moon by Muhammad and such other wonders of Islam. Having taught Europe seems to have emptied the Islamic world of all learning

>> Islam is peace and nothing but peace.<<

Yes doctor. Islam is peace. Peace of the dead. Islam prefers death to life. Read:

009.038
YUSUFALI: O ye who believe! what is the matter with you, that, when ye are asked to go forth in the cause of Allah, ye cling heavily to the earth? Do ye prefer the life of this world to the Hereafter? But little is the comfort of this life, as compared with the Hereafter.

016.107
YUSUFALI: This because they love the life of this world better than the Hereafter: and Allah will not guide those who reject Faith.

006.032
YUSUFALI: What is the life of this world but play and amusement? But best is the home in the hereafter, for those who are righteous. Will ye not then understand?

Do ye then not understand what the Koran is saying Dr.?

>>They are so afraid of Islam that they have to lie to keep people away from it<<

Yes they are afraid of Islam because this is what the Koran says:

008.012 YUSUFALI: Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): "I am with you: give firmness to the Believers: I will instil terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them."

009.111 YUSUFALI: Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in truth, through the Law, the Gospel, and the Qur'an: and who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah? then rejoice in the bargain which ye have concluded: that is the achievement supreme.

Allah has purchased your life and your property in exchange for paradise provided you kill or are killed to satisfy Allah's almighty ego.

You can of course reject the import of such verses for today's Muslims by claiming they apply only to war times.

Regards

Plato
