N.K. very correctly observed in his Feb 1 post:
"When muslims are quoted quranic ayas promoting sex with captured women and slave girls, robbing slaying torturing and enslaving of non muslims, polygamy, incest, and pedophilia they say you are not understanding quran correctly or it is out of context.When they are given context and are quoted hadiths and sira which show that their prophet himself carried out all those things they say those hadiths are unreliable".

The fact is that a big majority of muslims remain ignorant of what is actually in quran and it's chronology and context. That is exactly what muslim heirarchy wants since their livlihood depends on the ignorance of muslim masses. Saudis also spent millions on construction of mosques etc world wide to attract billions of Haj and Umra dollars.

Reading on this forum clearly shows how much the non muslims know about islamic history and how little the muslims know.
"Richard the lion heart" quoted the episode of "Satanic Verses", which is also mentioned by Tabari and Saad. Quranic verse quoted clearlypoints this incident as most of what is in Ishaq and Tabari by many other verses. Yet most muslims have never even heard of Ishaq, the mother all hadiths and siras and the oldest surviving chronicle of islamic history, leave alone reading it.

In the ISNA convention of Chicago, I went around and asked every book seller if they carried Ishaq; none of them had even heard of it leave alone carrying it.Yet most of them had the sanitized whitewashed books by the apologist infidels Esposito and Karen Armstrong. Muslims get so much assurance by the endorsements of dishonest apologist infidels that they love to buy their books . I am sure they laugh all the way to the bank.
