My dear salman rabina yusalim alika akthar wa akthar

Your Allah and his rasul the Arabian warlord and caravn raider the poor theolgians are saying that unless the mushrikeen, the polytheists if they do not convert to islam Muhammad and his minions must kill them! The warm and fuzzy Islam and oh I forgot the "la ikrah fi al-diin"!

If I was a Mushrik (polytheist) in Mecca at that time and Abul Qasim aka Muhammad the caravn raider and Arabian warlord tells me that unless I convert to islam I will be killed, I will for sure convert to islam.

And this begs the following questions:

1. Do you think that the threat by Muhammad and his minions to kill the polytheists of Mecca was the reason for their conversion to Islam?

2. And would you agree with me that this is an example where Islam was indeed spread by the sword?

3. Who are really al-mushrikeen in Q9:4? Let me help you they must be the Jews and Christians! Why is that? If you read Q9:30 your Allah and his rasul claim that Jews regard 3Uzair as the son of the God (sic) and the Christians regard Jesus as the son of God therefore both Jews and Christians are indeed Mushrikeen. Do you get it our dear salman?

4. Do you know what is the Muslim masora? I doubt it very much but I'm going to make it easy for you. The word: iqtolloo or kill/slay in Q9:4 could very well be read as" qatiloo if you go back to the basic rasm.

The rasm (text of the Qur'an without tashkeel, nuqat and the missing long vowels including missing alifs) of the word is: (fa) QTLOO or Qaf, teh, lam, waw, alif and by adding athe following by the masorites (do you know what this word really means? I doubt it) we have the follwoing reading (see al-Qur'an al-Kareem Cairo edition 1924):

A. Qaf or: Q

B. Teh with a damma or To or Tu

C. lam with a damma or Lu or Lo

D. waw and alif or OO or UU

And now we have the word: (fa) iQtoloo or (fa) iQtuluu or kill /slay! Oh the warm and fuzzy islam!

Now compare this with a slight change in the tashkeel (oh you do not know what this word really means. Silly me)

1. Qaf with a fatha or Qa

B. then edit and add a missing alif and now we have: AA

C. Teh with a kasra or: Ti

D. waw and alif or: UU or OO

and now we have: Qaatiloo or Qatiluu or fight (plural)

Well now we turn to Q9:29 and this is indeed the first wrod in the aya and this fits very well with fight those who were given the book (Jews and Christians) who are supposed to be polytheists based on Q9:30 and therrefore I suspect that the word in Q9:4 could very well be qaatiluu and not iqtoloo. So do you think that this little story about Mecca and pagans and the likes is nothing but fraudulent history? What do you think?

5. And if your allah is really omnipotent why would he asks mere human beings to go out and kill in his name when he can change the hearts of those polytheists without blood shed and mess? Unless your Allah is not omnipotent but in this case your Allah would not be a God. What do you think our dear salman?

6. And do you think that the threat by the likes of Mahmud of Ghazni that unless your ancestors the Hindus convert to islam they will be killed, this is why you are a Muslim now? And is this right?

But like I say: you are out to spread the religion of the Arabs through the medium of the Arabic language that you do not speak, and in the process spread the imperialism of the Arabs that brutalized your ancestors and for this i say: Shame.
