Ghazali - Islamic Scriptures Unveiled

Another act of terrorism in the name of Allah is broadcast across the media. So many questions to ask, too many apologies to offer.

How much longer is mankind to suffer because of the intolerant ideology of Islam?

But Islam is a religion of peace; all religions are loving and tolerant to others; Islam has been hijacked by a tiny minority of fundamentalists who practice a perverted interpretation of the religion; 1.2 billion people cant all be wrong.

Have you read the Islamic scriptures?

Well no. But from what Ive heard it stresses that there is no compulsion in religion and one should not kill , because the killing of one person is like the killing of all mankind. These are very noble principles I believe.

Are you aware of the context and circumstances under which such verses were revealed? Do you know that Muhammad later unveiled verses quite the opposite when he was in a position of strength? Does the concept of Naskh (abrogation) mean anything to you?

Well no. Im not worried with all the detail and I really dont have the time to sit down and read such scriptures.

But I have here, extracts from Islamic texts that could have far reaching effects on humanity if adhered to within their original context. We need to wake up and see that Islam does have a pathological hatred for non-believers.

I'm sure, only if you take them out of context.

It does say that non-believers a re the vilest of creatures and you should not befriend them. It does state that religion should only be for Allah, and those not following should be converted, made to pay a tax or be killed.

The Muslims that I know are friendly, caring and loving human beings. There is good and bad in everyone, and religion can be interpreted to anyones whims and fancy.

Muslims may be friendly because of their innate human intuition and lack of knowledge of the scriptures. But history has shown that whenever and wherever Islam is in the ascendancy there is always striving to dominate and institutionalise their ideology.

Well I'll have to read it to believe it!

Read with an open mind. You will soon realise that the source of so much Islamic extremism is Islam.

The Islamic scriptures comprise three main texts, the Quran (revelations from Allah), the Hadiths (the sayings and deeds of Muhammad) and the Sira t Rasul Allah (biography of the prophet).

Muslims claim that the Quran was created by God (Allah) and exists since time immemorial on a tablet in Heaven. It therefore cannot change. Renaissance of its archaic and barbaric laws is out of the question; for man cannot change what God has ordained. The Quran was supposedly transmitted to Muhammad from God via an intermediary, the Angel Gabriel .

Narrations portray Muhammad as being illiterate, unable to read or write. Hence for believers, the Quran is considered to be a miracle. The Quran itself in five places claims that no human or jinn (devil), even all put together, could produce a chapter like it. Of course this is an absurd challenge; one that can be achieved with ease. However for trying, we are threatened, in the very Quran, with hell -fire should the attempt be unsuccessful (Quran 2:24). The fact that most Muslims do not understand the original language, Arabic, of the Quran, speaks volumes about its blind acceptance. They however monotonously recite it in its original form without the impetus to analyse or query either its contents or its impact on humankind.

Should any sane person, not previously indoctrinated to glorify it, simply pick up a suitably translated version and read with an open mind, it would not be long before they come the realisation of how badly written it is; how repetitive it can be; how disparaging it is to those who do not accept it; the extent to which it plagiarises previous religions; how many ridiculous rewards await the gullible; how many insane punishments await the non-believer; how jumbled its message is; how poorly developed the characters are; how meaningless much of it is; and essentially what a boring a read it can be.

So why is it that Muslims do not see through these short-comings?

Firstly, the majority of Muslims, more than a billion do not understand what they are reciting. Arabic of 1400 years ago is foreign to the conquered peoples of Persia , Asia, Africa, India and Eastern Europe . They are told from the time of birth that the Quran was written in a unique beautiful language, it is full of scientific miracles and it is without any mistakes. But ask them how is the style beautiful or what miracles it contains or what convinced them that the Quran has no mistakes and a billion Muslims will not be able to tell you.

Secondly, Muslims are led to believe that Muhammad was the best example of a human being, one who should be emulated by all Muslims. They are taught a distorted romantic history of an Islamic golden age when it spread across the globe supposedly making a myriad of contributions to the world.

Thirdly, the Quran can only survive in a theocratic Islamic state, where the fre edom to question or criticise is non-existent. Islamic states stifle any freedom of thought, utilising the harsh punishments as recommended by Sharia law to enforce strict adherence to the ideology. As Islam grows in the West, this policy of stifling of free speech is also slowly being implemented via coercion on governments by the supposedly victimised Muslims.

I slam was a message that was rendered precious by the uncultured barbaric men of Bedouin desert Arabia; one that sanctioned their misogynistic traits and brutal conquering nature; one that could only be spread by fear; intimidation and the sword; one that is today proven untenable by science, maths, geography, history, womens rights and human rights.

This book extracts from the Quran, Hadiths and Sira those verses/texts that would disturb a ny sane person. V erses that are factually incorrect and verses that border on the ridiculous.

You will come to realise that the inherent source of hatred, intolerance and violence that mankind has come to know over the last fourteen hundred years is derived from the religion of submission. You will see that the so-called extremists are the true Muslims who follow the words of the Quran and the sunnah (deeds of the prophet).

It will be clear that so-called moderates are unaware of the realities and impact that this religion has on the wider society. However their existence as moderates, in vast numbers, gives strength and hope to the extremists. Moderate Muslims do not know or subconsciously subvert problems with the Islamic scriptures and neither are they aware of the truth of Muhammads life. They are not prepared to look back into their past to understand the circumstances under which their own ancestors were forced into Islam. They are cocooned in a world of deceptions by their Imams and conditioned to think only within the Islamic box.
