The Koran teaches ancient, pagan myths about Christ that Mohammad plagiarized from Persia (now Iran). One myth has the infant Christ speaking from his cradle, (sura 3:46) while another one has Him making clay birds in the presence of his childhood friends, then having the clay birds fly away! (sura 3:49.) Mohammad was not even original in his silly myths.
Mohammad boasted about sleeping with each of his 20 wives (slaves, concubines, etc.) each day, further proof that he was not only a liar but suffered from delusions of grandeur (one who overestimates his own abilities, talents, stature or situation.) His abnormal “flights of fancy” ran far ahead of his ability to perform. And then again, maybe he actually slept!
Mohammad conjured up the idea of temporary marriage that gave permission for men to have sex with any woman if he was married to her. His fifteen or twenty-minute “marriage” made the sex “legitimate.”
Many Muslims believe that those murderers in the Middle East who strap explosives on their bodies and kill scores of innocent people (Jews) are not really killers but are “freedom fighters” as reported to me by an Indianapolis Muslim cleric and confirmed two weeks later by phone. Anyone who supports terrorists is a terrorist so that respected cleric, living among decent Hoosiers, is a terrorist.
Mohammad had lice problems so he dyed his hair, (covering his gray hair but not affecting the lice living there), wore a veil, and painted his eyes each night. (Hadith, vol. 1, book 4, no. 167.) That is very unusual for a desert chief (thief).
Muslims do not believe Christ died on the cross; most believe Judas was the victim. That false teaching came from the Fourteenth Century forgery known as the “The Gospel of Barnabas” that even honest Muslim scholars admit was a fabrication from page one to the last page. (See my ISLAM: America’s Trojan Horse!) Muslims who defend their religion by using the false, fraudulent, fictional, farcical, fabricated forgery of the Gospel of Barnabas are deceptive, disingenuous, dishonest, and dumb–super dumb.
Many Muslims don’t know that if they miss morning prayers or sleep during those prayers, Satan punishes them by peeing in their ears. (vol. 2, book 21, no. 245.) Hey, I don’t explain them, only report them! I wonder what ear specialists do for such victims.
Mohammed even instructed his followers how to dress each day: “If you want to put on your shoes, put on the right shoe first, and if you want them off, take the left one first.” (vol. 7:747.) Would you want to live under such oppressive, silly rules? And all Muslims should be embarrassed and repudiate such nonsense.
Mohammed told male followers to refuse to share their beds with a disobedient wife and beat them (sura 4:34.) Muslim television stations air programs that instruct men how to beat their wives. The Bible commands us to love, honor, and cherish our wives.
Mohammed said, “If a housefly falls in the drink of anyone of you, he should dip it (in the drink), for one of its wings has a disease and the other [wing] has the cure for the disease.” (vol. 4:537.) I suppose that might be good to know especially if you lived on a hot, stinking desert without any sanitation, air-conditioning, running water, etc., but how do you know which wing has the cure and which wing has the contamination? Apparently the idea is that the cure cancels disease – but why dip it if it fell into the drink anyway? But then none of it makes sense.
Their holy book, the Koran was not handed down by God to Mohammad via Gabriel (good angels don’t make house calls to desert thieves; however Satan’s angels do) but was compiled by Mohammad’s followers. In fact, there were many “Korans” until Caliph Uthman brought some order to the confusion and settled on the “Median Codex” long after Mohammad assumed room temperature. Caliph Uthman then sent copies to other Muslim cities and ordered that all other copies of the Koran be destroyed.
The Koran is little more than mishmash, mistakes, and madness piled on top of each other. Mohammad was an “illiterate barbarian” according to historian Edward Gibbon; so since he could not read nor write, Mohammad heard the campfire stories from people of various religions and they became jumbled in his mind. That is obvious when reading the Koran. His many biblical, historical, geographical, and scientific blunders are almost humorous. It would be humorous if more than a billion people were not trusting in the Koran to provide the way of salvation. So sad.
Most Muslims do not know what the Koran and the Hadith teach about Mohammad and Islam. In fact, I have discovered that what the average Muslim knows about his religion would fit into the navel of a flea. Like many Christians regarding the Bible!
