Addressed to Naim

Submitted by Dillah (United States), Mar 13, 2010 at 11:18

Naim.....You are a contradiction unto yourself....and not because I say so....but because your own Koran says so:

009.005 But when the forbidden months are past {when 'treaties' expire, although the Muslims may break them at any time - if it benefits Islam} then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem of war. (Fight and slay the Pagans.....can not be justified Naim....in any way shape or form)

005.051 O ye who believe! take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors: They are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them for friendship is of them. Verily Allah guideth not a people unjust.

How is it Naim - you....as a Muslim...... are able to put the names Christian and Muslim in the same sentence as being "friends"?

008.067 It is not fitting for a prophet that he should have prisoners of war [slay them first] until he hath thoroughly subdued the land. {Treason in all non-Muslim nations)

009.029 Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, even if they are of the People of the Book, {The Jews and Christians} Other non-Muslims are not so lucky] until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

033.061 They shall have a curse on them: whenever they are found, they shall be seized and slain without mercy. {Genocidal teaching - no matter how you look at it Naim! (and remember - I didn't right these words...they existed long before you or i was even born)

Naim....

004.095 Not equal are those believers who sit at home and receive no hurt, and those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their goods and their persons... those who strive and fight hath He distinguished above those who sit at home by a special reward.

002.216 Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing [war] which is good for you and that ye love a thing [peace] which is bad for you?

Where ....EXACTLY.....does that leave you Naim?

047.004 Therefore, when ye meet "'the Unbelievers"' in fight, smite at their necks. Behead them! and the Muslims are commanded to initiate the fight} 002.216 - 009.039 - throughout the earth} 004.101 - 004.100 (I never said these things Naim - your prophet did)

005.033 THE PUNISHMENT of those who "'wage war"' against Allah and His Messenger is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet. - {meanwhile - It is the Muslims who are commanded to initiate the fight} 002.216 - 009.039)

Do you realize Naim?....that there is not one single Scripture in the New Testament that teaches humans to be violent with each other? None exist.

The same can not be said of your Koran. And the Koran is yours - because you call yourself a Muslim. Who has more authority in Islam - You or your prophet?

I'll let you be the judge of that one for yourself.

019.083 Seest thou not that We have set the Evil Ones on against "'the unbelievers"', to incite them with fury? Seest thou not?...that it is the Muslims who are the ones being incited with fury?...against "'the unbelievers"'? Seest thou not Naim???
