The latter states that human rights should be subject to the Islamic Law (Sharia) without contradicting it. Sharia tremendously restricts women's and gay's rights, freedom of speech and affirmative actions. Sharia and Human Rights are opposing concepts.Universal Human Rights Alpha and Omegahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15629531825076256906noreply@blogger.comBlogger99125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2137097565336631982.post-55739470935343744632024-03-05T10:28:00.000-08:002024-03-05T13:44:39.378-08:00Why Are Muslim Countries Poorer?<p>I found two very interesting videos on YouTube that discuss the question on why Muslim countries tend to be poor. I am sharing their links below. </p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://youtu.be/XXlAZMlG1-c">https://youtu.be/XXlAZMlG1-c</a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://youtu.be/qgwYpAkKczU">https://youtu.be/qgwYpAkKczU</a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>Transcript</b></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: times; font-size: 16px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and Jordan, or even Iraq, Afghanistan, and Yemen—these are all countries with two very clear things in common. First, they are very poor countries, and second, they are devoutly Islamic countries. Wherever we look, and with the exception of the oil-soaked Arab monarchies of the Persian Gulf, countries with a Muslim tradition are generally extremely poor. To give just one more concrete fact, the average per capita GDP of Muslim-majority countries is $5,000 lower than the global average. The reason behind this curious divergence has been studied by numerous historians; pages and pages have been written on this subject. Yet, of all the existing theories, there are two that have deeply permeated society.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: times; font-size: 16px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">On the one hand, there are those who claim that Islamic religion and culture are in itself completely opposed to the idea of progress. For these people, Muslims reject almost on principle such things as commerce or democracy without going any further. While 60% of the world's countries are governed by democratic systems, only 14% of Muslims live under this model of political organization. On the other hand, there are those who argue for a second theory. There are people who claim that the problem of Muslim countries is not to do with their religion but rather the colonialism by Western countries—a colonialism that has exploited and continues to exploit all these countries. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: times; font-size: 16px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Be that as it may, visual economic viewers, let us be clear: there may be certain cultural components that hinder development, and colonialism has certainly not done these countries any good. But let us tell you that from where we are sitting, none of these reasons seems to be the fundamental cause of the economic failure of the Islamic world. As many of you know, there was a time when the Muslim Middle East was the wealthiest region on the planet. In the year 1000, in the Middle Ages, the Muslim world accounted for 10% of global GDP. Muslims were a superpower while Europe was paralyzed in the Middle Ages. But that's not all. In terms of population, in the year 1000, Baghdad had between 500,000 and 1 million inhabitants, much more than any city in Western Europe. In fact, the largest European city of the time was also Islamic; we are talking about Cordoba of Al-Andalus in present-day Spain, a city with a population of around 450,000 at the time. After all, mercantile and financial culture was widespread in the Islamic world; the pilgrimage to Mecca ended up being the largest trade fair in the world, and even the scholars of Islam had very deep relationships with the commercial world. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: times; font-size: 16px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">And if you don't believe me, think about this for a moment: all of us here recognize great inventions such as algebra, modern medicine, or irrigation systems. Well, many of these inventions were created or developed precisely by the Islamic world of the Middle Ages. And so we can see that these countries were relatively very wealthy despite being Muslim. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: times; font-size: 16px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Religion at that time did not seem to be a problem. Now, then, what about colonialism? Well, the truth is that by the year 1700, the Islamic world had gone from having 10% of the world's GDP to having only 2.2%. That is to say, these countries had already become poor long before colonialism, so that cannot be to blame for their failure. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: times; font-size: 16px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">So now the questions seem pretty clear: what happened between the 10th and the 16th centuries to bring the economic progress of the Islamic world to a screeching halt? What did Europe do right that none of these countries did? And perhaps the most important question: does this divergence more than 500 years ago explain the current situation? </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Explaining the gap</b></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: times; font-size: 16px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Wherever we look, there is one thing about the Islamic world that is very striking. According to the records of the Courts of Istanbul and Galata in the 17th century, almost 80% of all companies in both regions had only two partners, and of course, there was no large company with hundreds of shareholders, such as the British East India Company. Islamic companies from the modern age onwards were always characterized by being very small, by having problems to develop. A clear example is that while in Europe the first large banks emerged in the 17th century with the Bank of Amsterdam, in the Middle East, they did not arrive until the second half of the 19th century. We are therefore talking about a delay of more than 200 years. The question is: why did the Islamic world lag so far behind? Why did its companies suffer from this kind of chronic dwarfism? If you are loyal follower of visual economic, you surely already know what we are talking about. The lack of large companies is usually a sign of lack of innovation and development. And how do we explain all this? Well, although there are many causes, there are at least three reasons that are absolutely key to this whole issue in Muslim countries.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Reason one: Inheritance law</b></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: times; font-size: 16px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Inheritance is very well regulated by the Quran and is very egalitarian. This means one cannot discriminate against the rest of the children by leaving all the inheritance to the firstborn. And yes, I know this sounds anything but backward. It's basically what exists today throughout the West. But while in the Middle East it was an age-old tradition, in Europe it didn't emerge until the Industrial Revolution. Even so, just because it seems advanced today does not mean that it was useful or positive at any stage of development. At that time, Muslim societies were polygamous, meaning that the elites had several wives and therefore many children, so inheritance was completely diluted. And why is that a problem? Well, you see, according to the business regulations existing at that time, when a person died, his company had to be dissolved with him. So if the sons wanted to keep their father's business, they had to rebuild the company from scratch. The problem was that since the inheritances were diluted among so many heirs, it was very difficult for a son to raise all the capital necessary to rebuild the company and get it going again. Knowing this, many entrepreneurs also made little effort to make their business projects last in the long term, as they knew that if they died, they would most likely disappear. So in other words, there was very little incentive to create large companies. However, there are even more reasons why large companies did not emerge.</span></p><p><b style="font-family: verdana;">Reason two: The prohibition of interest</b></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: times; font-size: 16px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Do you remember that we started the previous section talking about how the Muslim World took a long time to have big banks? Well, this is also very important for companies. After all, without banks, who provides loans to start up a business? It is certainly much more difficult. And it turns out interest-bearing loans were forbidden in Islam. However, unlike in other regions such as the Christian West, this prohibition took a very long time to be lifted. And let's see, obviously there were always exceptions. In fact, the religious leaders themselves publicly promoted ways of granting loans. According to Islamic law, for example, you could grant credit by buying a bedsheet from the borrower for 100 coins with the premise that he would buy it back from you for 50 coins later. Loopholes like these were plentiful. Even so, gimmicks were only gimmicks, and so the banking industry had a very difficult time growing. All this meant that while French companies could finance themselves at an average rate of around 5%, those of the Ottoman Empire had to finance themselves at more than 20%. This severe penalty on interest brought about a general backwardness in banking and, along with it, one of the most revolutionary inventions of the entire Middle Ages: bills of exchange. With these letters, Italian merchants, for instance, could travel without carrying cash, and these checks could operate with different currencies between several countries. And it is impossible to separate all this financial technology from the progress that was made in the banking sector with great names such as the Medice, which I'm sure will ring a bell with all of you. Well, in the Middle East, many merchants still sailed with bags full of gold on their ships, a real attraction for pirates and bandits. And although there was something similar to bills of exchange that were much older, in fact, than the European ones, they were very rare and much less flexible. If it was already complicated to set up a company before, this was the nail in the coffin. But even so, there is one more reason that is fundamental to understanding why companies in this entire region have barely prospered.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Reason three: A corrupt justice system</b></span></p><p><span face="Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 16px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Let me ask you a question: why are there no great historical examples of collaborations between Islamic and Western companies? The answer is actually very simple. Because no Muslim could form companies without following the precepts of Islamic law. So if a European merchant wanted to have an Ottoman as a partner, he had to accept the rules of the Quran. Rules such as if one of the two dies, the company is automatically dissolved. This explains why within Muslim countries, it was precisely the religious minorities which were not subject to Islamic law that prospered the most. In these graphs, you can see how non-Muslims, despite being 55% of the population, accounted for almost 90% of all exports and imports from Beirut, a pattern that was repeated throughout the region. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyq2TthBvtCka-Z0_82pb_dZRW2Y_qxbvr76D8U4OF8dWJKqUcVrNh2SU2BvFl11kk8OsoZ9pS7YqNNy9Ujdykb3MXd_w_siLIGkdk6c5a4DJP_5y3w-A3Y2qxN1WV88xgyGsr20knzTswKZKZKLOI0Tvb4iq4z75XIXNmATRRAzSHJDE-LArwGJ33qIE/s1692/Why%20Are%20Muslim%20Countries%20Poorer%20Fig1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="905" data-original-width="1692" height="171" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyq2TthBvtCka-Z0_82pb_dZRW2Y_qxbvr76D8U4OF8dWJKqUcVrNh2SU2BvFl11kk8OsoZ9pS7YqNNy9Ujdykb3MXd_w_siLIGkdk6c5a4DJP_5y3w-A3Y2qxN1WV88xgyGsr20knzTswKZKZKLOI0Tvb4iq4z75XIXNmATRRAzSHJDE-LArwGJ33qIE/s320/Why%20Are%20Muslim%20Countries%20Poorer%20Fig1.png" width="320" /></a></div><span face="Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 16px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><p><span style="font-family: times;">But there is another reason related to justice that also put many Westerners off investing, and that is that Ottoman judges were anything but reliable. To begin with, the judges of the Empire, who were directly religious authorities, barely gave validity to written testimonies such as, for instance, a contract. Yeah, that's what I said. Of all the trials in which a contract was presented as evidence in Istanbul during the 18th century, only 3% were sufficient proof; the rest required the oral testimonies of many more people. In contrast to all this, in the Christian world, contracts began to be an absolute necessary proof in commercial trials from before 1400. And of course, if most evidence in Islam was oral and written evidence was not given importance, who do you think they listened to when two testimonies clashed? Basically, the judges followed two rules: if the trial was a Muslim against a non-Muslim, the Muslim won the trial. But on the other hand, if the trial was between two people of the same religion, the winner was always the richest. Corruption was the order of the day. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: times;">Be that as it may, the explanation we have just given you is somewhat incomplete. Many of these problems were also present in Christian countries, such as the prohibition of interest-bearing credit. In this sense, what we see in the Islamic world is not so much that it was a decadent society, but that it simply did not prosper. They weren't getting poorer; they just weren't getting richer. And we are not only talking about wealth; the types of labor contracts and the ways of forming a company with some partners remained almost unchanged for more than a thousand years. In the meantime, Europeans were inventing more and more innovative business structures. The sin of usury eventually disappeared, and all these limitations were diluted. Therefore, the real question to be answered is why didn't the Muslims follow suit? Why didn't these countries develop new types of businesses or copy successful Western businesses? Well, let's take a look.</span></p></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>God helps those who help themselves</b></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: times; font-size: 16px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I want you to look very carefully at the following chart. Before the 12th century, the main jobs in the Islamic world were related to commerce and industry. However, from the 12th century onwards, the number of jobs in bureaucratic and military affairs skyrocketed. The bureaucracy grew like wildfire; the merchants lost much of their importance to the military, and the religious sector became much, much more powerful. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6vcEpLAPDek-E85qoVDE98IHZXtWSj-dPt2geoKm8CMk2G6CaOI6s3TUrt_gv0Pp3WKl-JsrPx07ZkV-OKL7V1BiE4ARYch7jbDyO7lsRSko0sRR3MbsR7v6zEO08ibgA1djIn0osAiVRT8_jO-n3Rm24aeHpiKKU8dsgUSNkkxIqQTYNUYH7E3lOVXY/s1602/Why%20Are%20Muslim%20Countries%20Poorer%20Fig2.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="989" data-original-width="1602" height="198" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6vcEpLAPDek-E85qoVDE98IHZXtWSj-dPt2geoKm8CMk2G6CaOI6s3TUrt_gv0Pp3WKl-JsrPx07ZkV-OKL7V1BiE4ARYch7jbDyO7lsRSko0sRR3MbsR7v6zEO08ibgA1djIn0osAiVRT8_jO-n3Rm24aeHpiKKU8dsgUSNkkxIqQTYNUYH7E3lOVXY/s320/Why%20Are%20Muslim%20Countries%20Poorer%20Fig2.png" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: times;"><span face="Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 16px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">The 'Ulema,' which literally translates as "those who have knowledge," were basically the religious elite of the time, authentic experts in Islamic law and theology. At first, these religious elites made their living from trade or patronage, but little by little, they moved away from these types of commercial activities and became closer and closer to political leaders such as sultans, viziers, and caliphs. Why is that, you may ask? The answer lies in legitimacy. A ruler can gain legitimacy because he is recognized by his people, because he is the descendant of a well-known figure, or because he is the son of a king. However, approaching religious authorities, at least in the Middle East, was the most important of all. Religion was the way to empower political leaders. But why did religion gain so much political influence? The answer lies in crop failure. You see, despite the fact that the Quran forbids feudal-type political organizations, a series of bad harvests, epidemics, and wars caused many people to move for refuge from the cities to the countryside, where at least food was available. And so emerged the 'Iqtas,' which would be something equivalent to the European fiefdoms. In this context, both the political and religious authorities had a very hard time. On the one hand, the sultans were losing a lot of power to the nobles of the feudal 'Iqtas,' and on the other hand, the religious scholars had lost much of their income due to less mercantile activity in the cities. With this in mind, the marriage between the sultans and the 'Ulema' (</span><span face="Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 16px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">religious scholars) </span><span face="Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 16px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">seemed the optimal solution Optimal for them, of course. For the rest of the citizens, it weighed down the economic growth of the region for almost 800 years.</span></span></p><blockquote><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; background-color: white; border: 0px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 1.25em; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: times;">In most cases, as a society evolves from primitive tribalism into an ordered civilization, a common religion permeates all its activities and helps to shape all its characteristic institutions. The rise of medieval Islam provides a typical example. Under such circumstances, the creation of political institutions entirely separate from the organization of the accepted religion seems hardly conceivable. On the other hand, Christianity broke into an ancient civilization that already had its own established hierarchy of government and its own sophisticated tradition of political thought based on non-Christian concepts."</span></p></blockquote><blockquote><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; background-color: white; border: 0px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 1.25em; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: times;">Brian Tierney, The Crisis of Church and State</span></p></blockquote><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; background-color: white; border: 0px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: times;">Perhaps where the political-religious alliance is best seen is in an event that left many historians completely confused: the prohibition of the printing press.</span></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; background-color: white; border: 0px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 1.25em; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: times;">As you all know, Gutenberg's printing press was one of the most revolutionary inventions of mankind.

In exchange for religious support, politicians were willing to make all kinds of concessions, often in the form of laws that explicitly prevented economic development. This explains why the inheritance laws mentioned before lasted for so many centuries despite being so damaging.</span></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; background-color: white; border: 0px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: times;">Of course, while this relationship between religious and political elite still exists in many Eastern countries, in others, it has been lost and does not seem to have flourished much.

When I was a Muslim, I felt I was being trapped in an invisible cage and was always disturbed by what Islam has compelled me to do. The Islamic elements that contributed to this are first misogyny. We all are aware of the misogyny aspects of Islam: men are superior to women; only men are qualified to be a leader, even with something basic like a prayer; only men are allowed to lead or be an Imam. We read in the news that in certain Islamic countries, women aren't even allowed to go out on their own; some even ban women from driving, and most Muslim women must wear extra clothing to cover their whole body, and that restricts their movement. Therefore, there are jobs that Muslim women simply are not fit to do due to this, women's potential is blocked, and the community suffers as there are fewer people who contribute to development.</span></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; background-color: white; border: 0px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: times;">Second, hatred for other religions. Islam taught that the followers of all other religions are bad people. The term they use is 'kufar,' which means disbeliever. Due to this hatred, Muslims generally cannot cooperate with others that well. There is always something that would annoy the Muslims; for example, when the kufar is eating bacon or when the kufar is having a meeting during the prayer time or when the kufar women want to shake hands with Muslim men. These things, even though small, add up to hinder strong cooperation that could lead to progress.</span></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; background-color: white; border: 0px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: times;">Third, barbaric laws. This is a no-brainer. Islamic laws or Sharia is rubbish. It puts the harshest punishments on trivial matters such as personal choice. Islam would stone gaze to death in a blink but won't punish a rapist because there is no witness. Islam would kill an apostate but won't punish an Islamic scholar who sexually abuses a minor because the shame is punishment enough. Islam would lash a beer drinker but totally supports camel urine drinker. There is zero logic in Sharia. Due to these barbaric laws, many foreign investors would refuse to invest in such a country.</span></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; background-color: white; border: 0px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: times;">Fourth, wasting time with rituals. The final element of Islam that really damages the progress of a community is how Islam commands its followers to waste time. Sunni Muslims have to pray five times a day from early morning. Instead of having a good morning start, taking time to prepare a healthy breakfast, relaxing before the work commute, a Muslim must waste about 10 minutes for prayer. When I was a Muslim, I often had to rush right after I am done praying, often eating less breakfast or skipping it altogether. And in the afternoon, when you are supposed to take a break from work, relax while eating your lunch, again you have to quickly take the wudu and pray the zuhr prayer at work. In an Islamic country, the company, even a kufar company, has to provide a space for Muslims to pray; these are often a small room, and therefore Muslims have to queue to pray. Furthermore, the afternoon prayer is the longest at four rakats. Totally no peace of mind; instead, Islam puts Muslims into chaos as they fight for their turn to pray. Those who did not get a chance to pray during lunchtime, which is usually just 1 hour, end up praying at a later time during work hours, thereby making them dishonest in spending their working hours to do other things than actual work. Then Islam disturbs Muslims' work time again in the evening, where it is time to pray the asr prayer. Humans' minds need time to gather momentum in working; just when the momentum is going, suddenly Muslims stop everything and go to pray. Then when they return, they have to take time to build that momentum again. This greatly slows progress; furthermore, if they are working in a team, then the team had to go on without the Muslim members, and again impacting progress. Then Islam disturbs Muslim end of work time again at late evening, where it is time to pray the maghrib prayer. At the end of the day, where most people are tired due to working, Muslims are compelled to pray. And not only that, around dinner time again, Islam disturbs a Muslim for the final prayer of the day, a time where one should spend time with their family, talking to each other, having fun, and perhaps helping each other with house chores.</span></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; background-color: white; border: 0px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: times;">And these are just the compulsory rituals; some Muslims want to get extra brownie points from Allah that they even add the sunna rituals like Doha prayer, the prayer after the sun is up. Then there are also pre and post-prayer prayers. Yes, I am not kidding; there are even two rakat prayers before and after the compulsory prayers. Then there are also zikr and dua. Dua is recited after any prayers are completed, sort of asking Allah to give them this and that. It can be short or long. The zikr is repeating a particular praise to Allah or Muhammad in a certain number of times. For example, Islam taught Muslims to repeat Allahu Akbar 33 times, subala 33 times, and al 33 times. Some even do this for 1,000 times or 700 times. There are Hadiths that specify the number of times Muslims have to recite it in order to be forgiven or get blessings from Allah. These rituals truly waste time.</span></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; background-color: white; border: 0px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: times;">Then the most obvious time waster of the week: the Friday prayer and sermon. I<span style="background-color: transparent;">n an Islamic
country, a kufar company have to give leeway to the Muslims during lunch while
others take an hour break. Muslims are given a free pass to take 2 to three
hours break. This is because every Muslims are obligated to do the Friday prayer
at the mosque. They take the commute time to go to have lunch then to go to the
mosque and listen to the sermon and pray. It is obligatory to listen to the
sermon too and these sermons usually take about 30 to 45 minutes a long, speech
about Islamic teachings and ended with a Dua, curses to the Jews, kufar, and other
sects that are deemed deviant. Imagine, being taught hatred once a week for the
rest of your life. All these elements are in the primary and secondary sources
of Islam and Muslims are compelled to do them.</span></span></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; background-color: white; border: 0px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="background-color: transparent;"><span style="font-family: times;">So now we know why a country that embraces Islam always can never progress as quickly as others. It is rooted from Islamic teachings itself, its ritual-centric dogma form over substance. Depending on the level of Islam implements, a country may sink deeper as evident in the
Middle East. Look at Afghanistan in the 1970s and compare it to now. How low it
has fallen. Any country that embraces Islam will sooner or later fall. It is up
to the leaders to ensure that a moderate and liberal Islam is practiced
since the damaging teachings are always available in the Quran and sunna. The
risk of destroying your country will always remain in waiting for the next
conservative leader to use. </span></span></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; background-color: white; border: 0px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="background-color: transparent;"><span style="font-family: times;">I end with a final message: stay away from Islam.</span></span></p>Universal Human Rights Alpha and Omegahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15629531825076256906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2137097565336631982.post-18905747624318748312023-03-09T21:00:00.000-08:002023-03-10T05:57:57.703-08:00Blog's "Table of Contents" - Selected Info on Islam<h3 class="post-title entry-title" style="text-align: left;">

<p data-block-key="3ubmx">Thirteen (13) Koran verses defining the relationship between Muslims and Kafirs.</p><p data-block-key="9hant"></p><p data-block-key="7ffi2">9:23
Oh, Believers, do not make friends of your fathers or your brothers if
they love unbelief above Islam. He who makes them his friends does
wrong. Say: If your fathers, and your sons, and your brothers, and your
wives, and your kin-folks, and the wealth which you have gained, and the
merchandise that you fear you will not sell, and the dwellings in which
you delight—if all are dearer to you than Allah and His Messenger and
efforts on His Path, then wait until Allah’s command comes to pass.
Allah does not guide the impious.</p><p data-block-key="fk1ai"></p><p data-block-key="cpe5n">3:28
Believers should not take unbelievers as friends in preference to other
believers. Those who do this will have none of Allah’s protection and
will only have themselves as guards. Allah warns you to fear Him for all
will return to Him.</p><p data-block-key="2ckba"></p><p data-block-key="209jg">3:118
Believers! Do not become friends with anyone except your own people.
The unbelievers will not rest until they have corrupted you. They wish
nothing but your ruin. Their hatred of you is made clear by their words,
but even greater hatred is hidden within their hearts. We have made Our
signs clear to you. Therefore, do your best to comprehend them.</p><p data-block-key="csds2"></p><p data-block-key="8ubk2">4:89
They would have you become unbelievers like them so you will all be the
same. Therefore, do not take any of them as friends until they have
abandoned their homes to fight for Allah’s cause. But if they turn back,
find them and kill them wherever they are. Do not take any of them as a
friend or a helper except those who seek asylum among your allies and
those who come to you because their hearts have forbidden them from
fighting against you or their own people. If it had been Allah’s will,
He would have given them power over you so they would have certainly
fought you. Therefore, if they leave you and do not wage war against you
and seek peace with you, Allah commands you not to injure them.</p><p data-block-key="fmj7h"></p><p data-block-key="5unbb">4:138
Warn the hypocrites that torturous punishment awaits them. The
hypocrites take unbelievers as friends rather than believers. Do they
look for honor at their hands? Truly all honor belongs to Allah.</p><p data-block-key="8m80l"></p><p data-block-key="eetl1">4:144 Believers! Do not take unbelievers as friends over fellow believers. Would you give Allah a clear reason to punish you?</p><p data-block-key="3onik"></p><p data-block-key="dbgpc">60:1
Oh, you who believe, do not take My enemy and yours for friends by
showing them kindness. They reject the truth that has come to you. They
drive out the messengers and yourselves because you believe in Allah,
your Lord. If you continue to fight for Allah’s cause [jihad] and from a
desire to please Me, would you show them kindness in private? I know
best what you conceal and what you reveal. Whoever does this among you
has already strayed from the right path.</p><p data-block-key="9383u"></p><p data-block-key="amuiq">60:13
Oh, Believers, do not enter into friendship with those against whom
Allah is angered. They have despaired of the hereafter, even as the
unbelievers despair of those who are in graves.</p><p data-block-key="e6ev6"></p><p data-block-key="e03bc">5:57
Oh, you who believe, do not take those who have received the Scriptures
[Jews and Christians] before you, who have scoffed and jested at your
religion, or who are unbelievers for your friends. Fear Allah if you are
true believers. When you call to prayer, they make it a mockery and a
joke. This is because they are a people who do not understand.</p><p data-block-key="asmbr"></p><p data-block-key="4hupk">5:78
Those among the Children of Israel who disbelieved were cursed by the
tongue of David and of Jesus, Son of Mary, because they were rebellious
and persisted in excesses. They did not restrain one another from the
iniquity they committed. Their actions were detestable. You will see
many of them make friends with the unbelievers. They have sent their
evil works on before them. Allah is angry with them, and they will abide
in torment forever. If they had believed in Allah, the Messenger, and
the Koran that was revealed to him, they would not choose them for their
friends, but most of them are rebellious wrongdoers.</p><p data-block-key="5608l"></p><p data-block-key="2g850">58:14
Have you not taken notice of those who befriend the people with whom
Allah is angry? They are neither a part of your group or theirs, and
they knowingly swear a lie. Allah has prepared a dreadful punishment for
them, for their actions are evil. A humiliating punishment awaits those
[Jews who pretend to be Muslims] who use their faith as a disguise and
turn others away from Allah’s path. Neither their wealth or their
children will protect them from Allah. They will be prisoners of the
Fire, where they will live forever.</p><p data-block-key="c7u42"></p><p data-block-key="4i7vj">5:55
Your protectors are Allah and His Messenger and those who believe, who
observe regular prayer and regular charity, and who bow in worship. And
whoever takes Allah, His Messenger, and those who believe for friends,
they truly are the people of Allah and must be triumphant. Oh, you who
believe, do not take those who have received the Scriptures [Jews and
Christians] before you, who have scoffed and jested at your religion, or
who are unbelievers for your friends. Fear Allah if you are true
believers. When you call to prayer, they make it a mockery and a joke.
This is because they are a people who do not understand.</p><p data-block-key="dpkif"></p><p data-block-key="427bt">5:51
Oh, believers, do not take the Jews or Christians as friends. They are
but one another’s friends. If any one of you take them for his friends,
he surely is one of them. Allah will not guide the evildoers.</p><p data-block-key="427bt"><br /></p>

W. Burleigh</a>, and published in American Thinker on 12 April, 2015.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">In <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NBbxN3MgQs" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">videos</a> and <a href="http://legalinsurrection.com/2014/07/miami-anti-israel-rally-jews-remember-khaybar-the-army-of-muhammad-is-returning/" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">news reports</a> related to the Middle East, one can often find this chant: “<em>Khaybar, khaybar ya yahud, jaish muhammad saya’ud,” </em>meaning, “Khaybar, Khaybar, O Jews, Mohammad’s army will return.”</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The chant means little to people who are unfamiliar with the history of Muhammad’s religion, yet it needs to be understood because it is a chilling reminder of one of the major atrocities he committed against the Jews when he attacked their oasis of Khaybar. People who chant these words today do so to warn Jews that they intend to repeat Muhammad’s horrors against them -- and everyone else who is not a believer for that matter.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Like everything involving the Muhammad story, there is a complex background, but here it is in condensed form: The attack on Khaybar, a wealthy date-producing valley 90 miles north of Yathrib (Medina), was part of a broader strategy Muhammad had devised to subjugate all of Arabia, and the key to pulling it off involved neutralizing the Meccans, his chief enemies, 230 miles to the south with whom he had fought several major battles. The last was the battle of the Trench (A.D. 627), a failed Meccan attack on Muhammad’s stronghold in Yathrib.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">A year after that attack, Muhammad made a bold pilgrimage to Mecca, claiming his right as an Arab to visit the holy precincts of Mecca and its sacred temple, then devoted to polytheistic worship. In the company of 1,400 of his followers dressed in the garb of pilgrims, he marched toward Mecca, but the Meccans threatened military action against him if he attempted to enter their territory. Muhammad turned the confrontation to his advantage by proposing a 10-year truce and offering to delay the pilgrimage for one year. As a carrot, he would allow the Meccans to resume vital caravan trade with Syria that he had brought to an end through incessant attacks on their caravans. Exhausted from years of fighting Muhammad, the Meccans accepted. With this arrangement, which came to be known as the Truce of Hudaybiyya from the location outside of Mecca where the truce was signed, Muhammad neutralized the Meccan threat. (1)</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">His followers, who had anticipated entering Mecca as pilgrims, were upset they would not finish the pilgrimage, but Muhammad offered them a carrot as well. In several verses of a newly crafted Koran chapter called “Victory” that dealt with the aborted pilgrimage and the Hudaybiyya arrangement, he promised them booty galore in the near future, but without specifying the source of the plunder. That turned out to be the Jewish oasis of Khaybar.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Muhammad wanted to attack Khaybar for several reasons. The first is that he feared the Jews were forming a coalition of northern tribes to attack him in Yathrib, just as the Meccans had recently attempted, but he also wanted their wealth. The Jews were industrious and their valley was known as the date farm of Arabia. One of their date plantations reputedly had 40,000 trees. He led the 1,400 believers -- the most faithful of the faithful who had accompanied him on the pilgrimage to Mecca -- to conquer Khaybar and take its wealth. Underlying this was his seething hatred for the Jews for their refusal to accept him as their prophet and adopt his religion.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Khaybar consisted of a string of fortresses in several clusters spread through a long, narrow valley between ancient lava beds. </span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">When Muhammad’s raiders poured into the valley, rather than confront them as a unified force, the Jews fell back to their various fortresses. Muhammad conquered them one at a time. Seeing they would not prevail against him, the remaining fortresses negotiated their surrender.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">One of the last belonged to the Nadir tribe, a Jewish tribe that Muhammad had forced out of Yathrib only three years earlier. They were the second Jewish tribe he had eliminated from Yathrib, and most of the Nadirs settled in Khaybar, where they owned fortresses and date plantations. Their expulsion from Yathrib was part of the genocide Muhammad had been carrying out against the Jews of Yathrib in reprisal for their refusal to embrace his religion. Two years after expelling the Nadirs -- one year before the Khaybar attack -- Muhammad eliminated the last and final Jewish tribe of Yathrib by massacring all of the men and adolescent boys and enslaving all of the women and children. (2)</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Khaybar Jews hoped to avoid annihilation by working out a deal with Muhammad whereby they would turn over all of their wealth to him if he allowed them to leave. The Nadir leader, a rabbi named Kinana, made the mistake of hiding the gold, silver, and jewelry of the tribe, hoping to have something to start over with if they were expelled from Khaybar. Muhammad discovered Kinana was holding out on him and tortured him to reveal where these treasures had been hidden, but when Kinana refused to tell him, Muhammad had his head cut off.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh3PYR9HlH3pgoXvSTmg3Iosxk5RusECMIB73GB1js4-oJbDe93Dk0tX55_TjdDlNk3fLCYQmZB4bB0exXM5JbRtAoL0N-hJ0v5IrX_IdoUbgsCoYLy8Lw7NPETEptrjhdyCZPv1PJxS_t-E4bscNwx32YQca6-Ig8DBeQuifGVwQOD1Yib8vgis_h9=s3568" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2663" data-original-width="3568" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh3PYR9HlH3pgoXvSTmg3Iosxk5RusECMIB73GB1js4-oJbDe93Dk0tX55_TjdDlNk3fLCYQmZB4bB0exXM5JbRtAoL0N-hJ0v5IrX_IdoUbgsCoYLy8Lw7NPETEptrjhdyCZPv1PJxS_t-E4bscNwx32YQca6-Ig8DBeQuifGVwQOD1Yib8vgis_h9=s320" width="320" /></a></div><i>MUHAMMAD INTERROGATES KINANA, the leader of the Nadir Jews of Khaybar, while one of his men pours lamp oil onto a fire that was started on his chest.

This happened to be the 17-year-old wife of Kinana.

Following the torture and beheading of Kinana, Muhammad forced his benumbed widow, a seventeen-year-old woman, into marriage. He was told of her beauty and had her brought before him. He proposed to her while the headless body of her husband lay in a palm grove nearby, promising her freedom if she married him and adopted his religion. (Source, It's All About Muhammad, A Biography of the World's Most Notorious Prophet)</i></div><br /><div class="article_body"><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Muhammad cemented people to him and his cause through plunder, but the plunder of Khaybar was like superglue, as it was the biggest take yet in all of the raids and battles that he had undertaken against people who had rejected him and his religion. He gave the plunder and fortresses that had been conquered to his men, but he kept the properties of the ones that surrendered for himself. (3)</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Muhammad cast the blame on the Jews. Allah had commissioned him as the “last and final messenger” to bring truth to the world, but the Jews had rejected truth and therefore Allah inflicted punishment on them. He was the instrument of Allah’s punishment. With such rationalizations, this self-declared “Messenger of God” lined his pockets and that of his followers and spread his cult ever farther into Arabia.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">As Khaybar demonstrates, Muhammad criminalized religion and perverted spirituality through his sanctification of violence and plunder to advance his ignoble ends. His followers today replicate his hatred for anyone who rejects "The Prophet" and his religion. Muhammad commanded his followers to make his religion the only religion. Therefore, when they chant, “Khaybar, Khaybar, O Jews, Mohammed’s army will return,” the warning is not only to the Jews.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">You too live in Khaybar.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">FOOTNOTES:</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">1.

Nonetheless, here we go. </p><p><br /></p><p>This article looks at how Islam views necrophilia.</p><p><br /></p><h2><span class="mw-headline" id="The_Quran">The Quran</span></h2><p>There doesn't seem to be any verse supporting or denouncing necrophilia. There are some general rules, to be "just" and "don't commit bad deeds", but since pedophilia in Islam is ok, we can't be sure necrophilia isn't.</p><p>Unlike the prohibition on pork, a prohibition on necrophilia was NOT mentioned in the Quran. It's worth nothing that there is a verse telling Muslims not to say something is haram, when Allah did not make it haram:</p><div class="quotes"><p>And <b>do not say</b> about what your tongues assert of untruth, "This is lawful and <b>this is unlawful</b>," to invent falsehood about Allah . Indeed, those who invent falsehood about Allah will not succeed.</p><br /><div class="quotes_ref"><a class="external text" href="https://quranx.com/16.116?Context=3" rel="nofollow">Quran 16:116</a></div></div><p>Ibn Kathir explains the verse as such:</p><div class="quotes"><p>(And do not describe what your tongues have lied about, saying: "This is lawful and this is forbidden", to invent lies against Allah.) <b>This includes everyone who comes up with an innovation (Bid`ah) for which he has no evidence from the Shari`ah</b>, or whoever declares something lawful that Allah has forbidden, or <b>whoever declares something unlawful that Allah has permitted, only because it suits his opinions</b> or whim to do so.</p><br /><div class="quotes_ref">Tafsir Ibn Kathir on the verse 16:116</div></div><p>So claiming that necrophilia is haram could be considered a bid'ah (innovation), which is a sin in Islam.</p><p><br /></p><h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Hadiths">Hadiths</span></h2><p>There are some hadiths that some people interpreted as condoning pedophilia:</p><div class="quotes"><p>Narrated Anas bin Malik:</p><p>We were (in the funeral procession) of one of the daughters of the Prophet (ﷺ) and he was sitting by the side of the grave <i>(جَالِسٌ عَلَى الْقَبْرِ - literally "sitting on the grave")</i>. I saw his eyes shedding tears. He said, "Is there anyone among you who did not have sexual relations with his wife last night?" Abu Talha replied in the affirmative (<i>أَنَا - literally "me!"</i>). And so the Prophet told him to get down in the grave. And so he got down (فَنَزَلَ) in her grave.</p><br /><div class="quotes_ref"><a class="external text" href="https://quranx.com/Hadith/Bukhari/USC-MSA/Volume-2/Book-23/Hadith-374/" rel="nofollow">Sahih Bukhari 2:23:374</a></div></div><p>So Muhammad sits on her grave, then asks his companions if any of them didn't have sex with his wife last night, Abu Talha says "me!" and then Muhammad tells him to get down to her grave. According to apologetics, he went there to bury her. The hadith says he went down there, but it doesn't say what he did there, so it's not clear.</p><p>There is also this hadith, but from a weaker source:</p><div class="quotes"><p>“I (Muhammad) put on her my shirt that she may wear the clothes of heaven, and I SLEPT with her (واضطجع معها) in her coffin (grave) that I may lessen the pressure of the grave. She was the best of Allah’s creatures to me after Abu Talib”… The prophet was referring to Fatima, the mother of Ali.</p><br /><div class="quotes_ref">Kanz al-`Ummâl (كنز العمال) <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-1"><a href="file:///E:/Recoverit/Lenovo/Documents/Freedom%20Fight/blog_JoseAtento/Necrofilia/Necrophilia%20in%20Islam%20-%20WikiIslam.html#cite_note-1">[1]</a></sup></div></div><p>There is a discussion about the word "واضطجع", whether it means sleeping or lying or having sex, but the next word معها ("with her") makes that discussion not important. Because even if he was just lying there, it was "with her", which is controversial enough. But apologists can dismiss the whole hadith as unreliable.</p><p>So the first hadith is authentic, but doesn't clearly support necrophilia, while the other hadith supports necrophilia, but is not very authentic. We could discuss about these pro-necrophilia hadiths, but maybe it's even more important to notice that there is no hadith explicitly prohibiting necrophilia. So even if the first one didn't mean necrophilia and the other was fabricated, there is still no basis for claiming necrophilia is haram.</p><p><br /></p><h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Views_of_Islamic_scholars">Views of Islamic scholars</span></h2><p>Since the Quran and sunna don't condemn necrophilia and Islamic scholars base their morality on Islam, their views towards necrophilia are tolerant:</p><div class="quotes"><p>ولا يعاد غسل الميت إذا أولج فيه لسقوط تكليفه ولا يجب بوطء الميتة حد ولا مهر</p><p>A dead body need not be washed after you have sexual intercourse with her</p><br /><div class="quotes_ref">Imam Shafie - نهاية المحتاج الى شرح المنهاج فى الفقه على مذهب الامام الشافعى - Book Of Purity Chapter Of Washing <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-2"><a href="file:///E:/Recoverit/Lenovo/Documents/Freedom%20Fight/blog_JoseAtento/Necrofilia/Necrophilia%20in%20Islam%20-%20WikiIslam.html#cite_note-2">[2]</a></sup></div></div><p>You just have to wash your penis:</p><div class="quotes"><p>ولو غيب الحشفة في دبر امرأة او دبر رجل او فرج بهيمة او دبرها وجب الغسل سواء كان المولج فية حيا او ميتا صغيرا او كبيرا</p><p>If the male genitalia completely entered a woman's behind, or a mans behind or a baheema(animal) from behind or vagina, he must be washed wether it was alive or dead (ميتا), young or old</p><br /><div class="quotes_ref">Ibn Hanbal - الكافي في فقه الإمام أحمد بن حنبل - المجلد الاول <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-3"><a href="file:///E:/Recoverit/Lenovo/Documents/Freedom%20Fight/blog_JoseAtento/Necrofilia/Necrophilia%20in%20Islam%20-%20WikiIslam.html#cite_note-3">[3]</a></sup></div></div><h2><span class="mw-headline" id="See_Also">See Also</span></h2><ul><li><a href="file:///E:/wiki/Islam_and_Pedophilia" title="Islam and Pedophilia">Islam and Pedophilia</a></li></ul><p>External links:</p><ul><li><a class="external text" href="https://www.memri.org/tv/moroccan-cleric-abd-al-bari-al-zamzami-husbands-may-have-sex-dead-wifes-corpse-women-may-use" rel="nofollow">Moroccan Cleric Abd Al-Bari Al-Zamzami: Husbands May Have Sex with Dead Wife's Corpse</a> (video)</li></ul><div>Vídeo: <a href="https://youtu.be/aGNCInP0zDI">https://youtu.be/aGNCInP0zDI</a> e <a href="https://youtu.be/u7z5M4QTINY">https://youtu.be/u7z5M4QTINY</a></div><div><i>Sex with dead wife is allowed; women can use carrot to "relax"</i><br /></div><div><h2><span class="mw-headline" id="References">References</span></h2></div><div><ol style="text-align: left;"><li><span class="mw-headline">http://shiaonlinelibrary.com/%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%83%D8%AA%D8%A8/2277_%D9%83%D9%86%D8%B2-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9%D9%85%D8%A7%D9%84-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%AA%D9%82%D9%8A-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%87%D9%86%D8%AF%D9%8A-%D8%AC-%D9%A1%D9%A3/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B5%D9%81%D8%AD%D8%A9_635</span></li><li><span class="mw-headline">https://imgur.com/CgMZA</span></li><li><span class="mw-headline">https://imgur.com/SXT6T</span></li></ol><div><br /></div></div><p><br /></p><div><br /></div><div id="contentSub"></div>Universal Human Rights Alpha and Omegahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15629531825076256906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2137097565336631982.post-44043314155250011062021-01-05T18:16:00.007-08:002021-01-05T18:16:53.090-08:00Logical fallacies in the Quran<p> (post reproduced from <a href="https://archive.is/VzIRl#selection-1381.0-1383.0" target="_blank">Why Quran is logically fallacious</a>)</p><p><br /></p><div old-class="usertext-body may-blank-within md-container " style="font-size: 13px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: isolate;"><div old-class="md" style="background-color: #fafafa; border-radius: 7px; border: 0.996553px solid rgb(51, 102, 153); color: #222222; font-size: 14px; margin: 5px 0px; max-width: 840px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 5px 10px;"><div style="line-height: 20px; margin-block: 0px 5px; margin-inline: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px;">What
follows is a list of fallacies and their examples taken directly from
the Quran (Sahih Translation). This shows why Quran as a source of
knowledge is extremely flawed. I went with the approach of going fallacy
by fallacy instead of verse by verse because otherwise this post would
be me quoting every other verse and saying appeal to emotion fallacy.</div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-block: 5px; margin-inline: 0px; margin: 5px 0px; padding: 0px;">Genetic
Fallacy - At many places in the Quran such as the following, it makes
arguments that one should remain the way they were born. Now this
commits many more fallacies then one but the one that I have noted is
the most interesting one.</div>
<blockquote style="border-left: 1.99311px solid rgb(197, 193, 173); color: #4f4f4f; margin-block: 5px; margin-inline: 5px 0px; margin: 5px 0px 5px 5px; padding: 0px 8px;">
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">when
your Lord took from the children of Adam - from their loins - their
descendants and made them testify of themselves, [saying to them], "Am I
not your Lord?" They said, "Yes, we have testified." [This] - lest you
should say on the Day of Resurrection, "Indeed, we were of this
unaware." (Quran 7:172)</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-block: 5px; margin-inline: 0px; margin: 5px 0px; padding: 0px;">Special
Pleading - Well Allah in Quran on many occasions says that things just
couldn’t have been different without providing a sufficient, or any
explanation at all. One such case is the verse that follows.</div>
<blockquote style="border-left: 1.99311px solid rgb(197, 193, 173); color: #4f4f4f; margin-block: 5px; margin-inline: 5px 0px; margin: 5px 0px 5px 5px; padding: 0px 8px;">
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Had
there been within the heavens and earth gods besides Allah, they both
would have been ruined. So exalted is Allah, Lord of the Throne, above
what they describe. (Quran 21:22)</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-block: 5px; margin-inline: 0px; margin: 5px 0px; padding: 0px;">Post
hoc ergo propter - Quran in the following verse asserts that when
people pray to him on a boat and return home safely, they were saved
because of their prayer. Now this commits more than just one fallacy but
the most prominent one that this commits is the “Post hoc ergo propter”
fallacy since, it asserts that two things happen after each other
therefore the former was the cause of the latter.</div>
<blockquote style="border-left: 1.99311px solid rgb(197, 193, 173); color: #4f4f4f; margin-block: 5px; margin-inline: 5px 0px; margin: 5px 0px 5px 5px; padding: 0px 8px;">
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">And
when they board a ship, they supplicate Allah, sincere to Him in
religion. But when He delivers them to the land, at once they associate
others with Him(Quran 29:65)</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-block: 5px; margin-inline: 0px; margin: 5px 0px; padding: 0px;">Cherrypicking
- We don’t exclusively see cherrypicking from Muslims since the Quran
itself commits the fallacy of suppressing evidence. It shows us a case
of men crying for his help and getting it but later turning away from
him which in and of itself is a fine example but the verse’s implicit
conclusion is that men turn to him in hard times. That doesn’t follow
because the argument ignores the times when men asked Allah and he
decided not to intervene, or when men didn’t ask Allah but their bad
times were dealt with anyways. Indeed Allah is the greatest of the
cherrypickers.</div>
<blockquote style="border-left: 1.99311px solid rgb(197, 193, 173); color: #4f4f4f; margin-block: 5px; margin-inline: 5px 0px; margin: 5px 0px 5px 5px; padding: 0px 8px;">
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">And
when adversity touches man, he calls upon his Lord, turning to Him
[alone]; then when He bestows on him a favor from Himself, he forgets
Him whom he called upon before, and he attributes to Allah equals to
mislead [people] from His way. Say, "Enjoy your disbelief for a little;
indeed, you are of the companions of the Fire." (Quran 39:8)</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-block: 5px; margin-inline: 0px; margin: 5px 0px; padding: 0px;">Is-Ought
fallacy - Quran argues in the following verse, that if something is
natural among humans then it should be kept the way it is. Now this
commits multiple fallacies but the most outrageous one being that its
breakage of Hume’s law.</div>
<blockquote style="border-left: 1.99311px solid rgb(197, 193, 173); color: #4f4f4f; margin-block: 5px; margin-inline: 5px 0px; margin: 5px 0px 5px 5px; padding: 0px 8px;">
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">So
direct your face toward the religion, inclining to truth. [Adhere to]
the fitrah of Allah upon which He has created [all] people. No change
should there be in the creation of Allah. That is the correct religion,
but most people do not know. (Quran 30:8)</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-block: 5px; margin-inline: 0px; margin: 5px 0px; padding: 0px;">Omnipotence doesn’t matter, you can’t beat David Hume.</div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-block: 5px; margin-inline: 0px; margin: 5px 0px; padding: 0px;">Non-sequitur:</div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-block: 5px; margin-inline: 0px; margin: 5px 0px; padding: 0px;">In
the following verse, the Quran states that even if all plants watered
with the same water, some would produce tastier food then others and
somehow concludes that it’s, therefore, a sign from God. The conclusion
just doesn’t follow...</div>
<blockquote style="border-left: 1.99311px solid rgb(197, 193, 173); color: #4f4f4f; margin-block: 5px; margin-inline: 5px 0px; margin: 5px 0px 5px 5px; padding: 0px 8px;">
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">And
within the land are neighboring plots and gardens of grapevines and
crops and palm trees, [growing] several from a root or otherwise,
watered with one water; but We make some of them exceed others in
[quality of] fruit. Indeed in that are signs for a people who reason.
(Quran 13:4)</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-block: 5px; margin-inline: 0px; margin: 5px 0px; padding: 0px;">Here
the Quran concludes that Jesus couldn't have been the son of God from
just one premise that is, he eats, it's a blatant non-sequitur, but it
also commits a false dichotomy fallacy that one can either eat or be the
son of God, and also commits an Ad Hominem fallacy at the end by
attacking the critic.</div>
<blockquote style="border-left: 1.99311px solid rgb(197, 193, 173); color: #4f4f4f; margin-block: 5px; margin-inline: 5px 0px; margin: 5px 0px 5px 5px; padding: 0px 8px;">
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The
Messiah, son of Mary, was not but a messenger; [other] messengers have
passed on before him. And his mother was a supporter of truth. They both
used to eat food. Look how We make clear to them the signs; then look
how they are deluded. (Quran 5:75)</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-block: 5px; margin-inline: 0px; margin: 5px 0px; padding: 0px;">unfalsifiable
fallacy - In the verse that follows, Quran responds to a question
asking for evidence by simply saying that the one asking the question is
arrogant. It’s not only an unfalsifiable fallacy but also an egregious
Ad Hominem fallacy.</div>
<blockquote style="border-left: 1.99311px solid rgb(197, 193, 173); color: #4f4f4f; margin-block: 5px; margin-inline: 5px 0px; margin: 5px 0px 5px 5px; padding: 0px 8px;">
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">And
those who do not expect the meeting with Us say, "Why were not angels
sent down to us, or [why] do we [not] see our Lord?" They have certainly
become arrogant within themselves and [become] insolent with great
insolence. (Quran 25:21)</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-block: 5px; margin-inline: 0px; margin: 5px 0px; padding: 0px;">Appeal
to popularity fallacy - Here the Quran Argues that people should
believe just because most people around them believe in Allah.</div>
<blockquote style="border-left: 1.99311px solid rgb(197, 193, 173); color: #4f4f4f; margin-block: 5px; margin-inline: 5px 0px; margin: 5px 0px 5px 5px; padding: 0px 8px;">
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">And
when it is said to them, "Believe as the people have believed," they
say, "Should we believe as the foolish have believed?" Unquestionably,
it is they who are foolish, but they know [it] not. (Quran 2:13)</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-block: 5px; margin-inline: 0px; margin: 5px 0px; padding: 0px;">Begging
the Question - Quran in many verses such as the one that follows
asserts that Allah is the creator of everything and you should believe
this because you were created by him.</div>
<blockquote style="border-left: 1.99311px solid rgb(197, 193, 173); color: #4f4f4f; margin-block: 5px; margin-inline: 5px 0px; margin: 5px 0px 5px 5px; padding: 0px 8px;">
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">How
can you disbelieve in Allah when you were lifeless and He brought you
to life; then He will cause you to die, then He will bring you [back] to
life, and then to Him, you will be returned. (Quran 2:28)</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-block: 5px; margin-inline: 0px; margin: 5px 0px; padding: 0px;">Appeal
to force - Quran at many occasions such as the one that follows
threatens those who disbelieve to essentially make them accept the
conclusion out of sheer fear for their lives.</div>
<blockquote style="border-left: 1.99311px solid rgb(197, 193, 173); color: #4f4f4f; margin-block: 5px; margin-inline: 5px 0px; margin: 5px 0px 5px 5px; padding: 0px 8px;">

they not seen how many generations We destroyed before them which We

after them a generation of others. (Quran 6:6)</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-block: 5px; margin-inline: 0px; margin: 5px 0px; padding: 0px;">Straw-man
- Quran regularly straw-mans it’s opposing position to assert that they
are liars and one such instance is the verse that follows</div>
<blockquote style="border-left: 1.99311px solid rgb(197, 193, 173); color: #4f4f4f; margin-block: 5px; margin-inline: 5px 0px; margin: 5px 0px 5px 5px; padding: 0px 8px;">

</blockquote>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-block: 5px; margin-inline: 0px; margin: 5px 0px; padding: 0px;">The
Divine Fallacy - On certain occasions like the one that follows the
Quran just says it’s obvious that he is the creator if you look at the
wonders of creation. In other words, it says that the world is so, good
that it must have a creator.</div>
<blockquote style="border-left: 1.99311px solid rgb(197, 193, 173); color: #4f4f4f; margin-block: 5px; margin-inline: 5px 0px; margin: 5px 0px 5px 5px; padding: 0px 8px;">

<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-block: 5px; margin-inline: 0px; margin: 5px 0px; padding: 0px;">This is basically God’s version of “look at the trees” argument.</div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-block: 5px; margin-inline: 0px; margin: 5px 0px; padding: 0px;">Hasty
Generalization - Well, now most ex-Muslims are somehow criminals. Is
this argumentation not worse than the arguments that nonintellectual
Muslins present.</div>

<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-block: 5px; margin-inline: 0px; margin: 5px 0px; padding: 0px;">Loaded
Question - In the following verse Quran says that if you ask Muslims
they would say that it is Allah who created them but if that’s the case
then they should be worshipping him. This is in a question form and it
assumes that if someone created you then you should worship them.</div>
<blockquote style="border-left: 1.99311px solid rgb(197, 193, 173); color: #4f4f4f; margin-block: 5px; margin-inline: 5px 0px; margin: 5px 0px 5px 5px; padding: 0px 8px;">

<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-block: 5px; margin-inline: 0px; margin: 5px 0px; padding: 0px;">False
Cause - In the following two verses of the Quran it asserts a cause and

very specific religion.</div>

multiple fallacies but the most apparent one being its appeal to adverse

correct.</div>

Hominem - The verse below most apparently says that disbelievers who

attacking their arguments is attacking them.</div>

<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-block: 5px; margin-inline: 0px; margin: 5px 0px; padding: 0px;">The
Argument of repetition fallacy - In the entire Surah, Rehman Quran
keeps presenting the same point that he is the one true God because he
has done favors for you. While the point itself is extremely fallacious
but the approach is way more fallacious than the point. What I have
presented below is a taste of what surah Rehman’s repetition is like.</div>

The controversial Imam supports wife-beating, death penalty for apostates, suicide attacks against Jews, execution of gays and Sharia.</p><p>In the Pope’s encyclical titled, “Fratelli Tutti” (“Brothers and Sisters All”) he paints a very gloomy and dark picture of the contemporary world. He endorses immigration, globalism and socialism under the premise it will make for a better world. </p><p>“The Pope is playing politics. We have a post-Catholic pope. He is no longer a Catholic,” declared Zemmour. He continues to explain that the Pope’s message is no longer universal, but instead, “an extreme left-wing discourse, it’s not Catholicism.”</p><p>Regarding the Christian identity of Europeans, Eric Zemmour was also very critical of Pope Francis. “He is an enemy of Europe, he despises Europe. From what I know, he hates France. He does not defend the Catholic heritage, he sells it off. He transformed the Vatican into an NGO”, explains the columnist. Zemmour continues, “He has taken the side of the enemies of Europe. He’s speaking for the extreme Left, who hate the heritage of Europe and our countries.”</p><p>Zemmour believes that the Pope knows that “Europe is de-Christianizing at a phenomenal speed” and has chosen to sacrifice the once Christian continent. Instead of putting his energy towards a continent with a dwindling Christian population, he is willing to surrender Europe to Islam, explains Zemmour:</p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;">"So he considers, like many people around him, that Europe without Christianity is going to die. And that, in any case, it is better to let it die, or at least it is better to leave it to others. Especially to Islam."</p></blockquote><p>Watch the following exclusively translated video by RAIR Foundation USA: </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://rumble.com/embed/v808nr/?pub=4">https://rumble.com/embed/v808nr/?pub=4</a></p><p><br /></p><p>TV Host:</p><p>Good evening, everyone. Good evening, gentlemen. Nice to see you again. Good evening, Eric Zemmour.</p><p>The third Encyclical of Pope Francis entitled “Brothers and Sister All” was unveiled yesterday, on Sunday. It gives a somber assessment of the contemporary world, and suggests ways to make the world a better place.</p><p>Eric Zemmour, how do we decipher this new encyclical?</p><p>What should we remember from it?</p><p>EZ:</p><p>Listen, I confess to you, after reading that I was flabbergasted.</p><p>I was astonished by the type of naiveté usually associated with pimply teenagers that was spread on almost every page. It was impressive.</p><p>Making the world a better place, that’s good when you’re 14 years old.</p><p>As soon as you’re 15 and a half, you don’t believe in it anymore. I remind you that Jesus said , “My kingdom is not of this world.”</p><p>He was wiser. It’s, if you like, a kind of idealism, globalism, universalism and I’ll repeat it, naïve, which I confess to you, leaves me stunned.</p><p>OK, so, it’s political. In fact, the Pope is being political.</p><p>It’s the first time in history, and we’re going to talk later with Marc</p><p>about the relations between the kings of France and the popes.</p><p>All the previous popes have had their faults, but they were Catholic.</p><p>Now we have a post-Catholic pope.</p><p>He’s not Catholic anymore.</p><p>TV HOST:</p><p>What does that mean?</p><p>That means that we, you know the famous phrase from G.K. Chesterton, “The world is full of Christian virtues gone mad.” That’s the pope. That’s exactly it!</p><p>He’s not doing Catholicism. He adopts an extreme left-wing discourse, but it’s not Catholicism.</p><p>Even if Catholicism were universal, and we’ve know for 2,000 years that in Catholic theology, we access the universal through the individual. There are some absolutely magnificent writings by Bossuet, showing the balance between the universal and the nation.</p><p>TV HOST</p><p>Excuse me.</p><p>EZ</p><p>—A chewing gum?</p><p>EZ</p><p>—Yes, Exactly.</p><p>Between the universal and the nation.</p><p>So, this appears to be a misuse of Catholic dogma to get into politics, and the Pope is spending his time with, or it seems that he wrote in collaboration with, the Grand Imam Ahmed Al-Tayeb. It’s staggering.</p><p>He explains that we must defend the identities of poor peoples.</p><p>He’s absolutely right. I approve 2,000%, but what about the identities of the European peoples?</p><p>He doesn’t care. He explains to us that each and every country is also a country for foreigners.</p><p>This reveals that he understood absolutely nothing about the famous text in the Old Testament which says “Welcome the stranger because you yourself have been foreigners in the land of Egypt.”</p><p>It is also repeated in the Gospels. Except that the Pope forgets that in the Old Testament, as in the New, the foreigner who is welcomed also leaves. He stays a few days. That’s hospitality.</p><p>He doesn’t stay and he doesn’t bring his family or have his family come. He leaves.</p><p>That’s the meaning of, “You were a stranger in the land of Egypt. Remember.”</p><p>It’s not about having all people from abroad coming to certain countries.</p><p>TV Host:</p><p>The Pope is not — sorry, I interrupted you. —Please do. —Isn’t it the Pope’s role to be merciful, by being universalist, as you say, isn’t that his role? —That is his role… —Love one another.</p><p>Eric Zemmour:</p><p>He’s in his role, perhaps, I don’t have the impression that it is his role to give us an encyclical that sounds like a song from the music group Grand Corps Malade [big sick body].</p><p>So he’s already stepped out of his role. The Pope, please understand, is the head of the Church.</p><p>So, there are Catholics, and there’s a rule that was taught a long time ago, the famous rule of subsidiarity.</p><p>It’s not the Maastricht Treaty that invented it. It’s the church.</p><p>What does subsidiarity mean? It means that the Pope and the head of the church is for the faith, for the dogma, but not for politics. There, he is completely out of his role.</p><p>TV Host:</p><p>-Even when he calls for harmony, when he tries to unite, when he wants to see, for example, the migrants, you mentioned, as citizens united together by faith. All that is not…</p><p>—It’s politics. —That’s politics? —Yes, it’s politics.</p><p>And the other popes? —It’s substituting the country. —The other popes were not political?</p><p>The other popes were political too, but they respected the dogma more. If you want, you’re right, it’s a fundamental question. How is this unlike the previous popes or what they did?</p><p>We had two great popes, John Paul II and… —Pope Benedict XVI. —Pope Benedict XVI. —One was Polish, the other German, deeply European, deeply rooted in their national identities.</p><p>Who believed in nations. Who believed in European nations in particular. So here we have a guy who comes from South America, who despises Europe, who obviously, as far as I know, hates France.</p><p>In particular, he despises Europe, and then delivers a universalist discourse like a non-governmental organization.</p><p>In fact, he has turned the Vatican into an NGO. I don’t think that’s his role.</p><p>He’s speaking like an NGO that’s going to save migrants in the Mediterranean, but that’s not what the church is all about.</p><p>Excuse me. It’s not that!</p><p>And Pope Benedict XVI, who is still alive, could remind him what Catholic theology is.</p><p>I’ve read texts by Pope Benedict XVI, which say something else. Read the writings of John Paul II.</p><p>Here, I’m telling you, he’s stepping out of his role. We are aware of where he comes from.</p><p>He had his youth formed by the Jesuits in South America in the 1960s.</p><p>So that’s very political. That’s very ideological. That’s very left-wing.</p><p>So very influenced. I’m not saying that he was linked to the ideology of liberation theology by the Marxists of the ’60s with all the revolutionary movements in South America.</p><p>We know that the Church over there was very close to certain Marxist and Communist movements of the time.</p><p>It is clear that this is what his universe is. I was going to say cultural, affective, political, and therefore ideological.</p><p>You can see all that. You can see where he comes from. You can see who he talks to, as the Marxists used to say, and you can see what he says.</p><p>TV Host:</p><p>—He says he’s against the death penalty and in favor of equality for women, he’s in favor of welcoming migrants, and says he’s in favor of the total elimination of nuclear weapons.</p><p>So according to Eric Zemmour, the Pope must…</p><p>Eric Zemmour:</p><p>Extraordinary, I tell you, I was saying all this when I was 14, and I grew up in the ’70s.</p><p>TV Host:</p><p>—Does the Pope have to defend the Catholic heritage? Doesn’t he have to go further? Into this field of politics and geo-politics?</p><p>Eric Zemmour:</p><p>—He doesn’t defend the Catholic heritage. On the contrary, he sells it out.</p><p>You know, I have a rather simple thesis about the Pope.</p><p>I think he understood something that distressed his predecessors, and it’s that Europe is de-Christianizing at a phenomenal speed. And that outside of that, it is Christianity, I keep repeating it over and over again, that made France, that made Europe. So he considers, like many people around him, that Europe without Christianity is going to die. And that, in any case, it is better to let it die, or at least it is better to leave it to others. Especially to Islam.</p><p>And he makes a strategic choice, he’s chosen geo-strategy.</p><p>There are continents where there are still a lot of Christians, or in any case, there’s a lot of conversion.For example in China. For example in South America. For example in Africa.</p><p>That’s where the demographic and political potential is, and I was almost going to say economic potential.Europe, unfortunately, is in the process of de-Christianizing. So he is sacrificing Europe.</p><p>He is sacrificing Europe. He dresses this terrifying geostrategic choice for Europeans and European Catholics with a discourse of universalist veneer and “Care Bear love”.</p><p>I don’t think that brings honor to this pope. I don’t know, who wants to react?</p><p>TV Host:</p><p>My last question: what bothers you the most? The fact that he criticizes Europe, or the fact that he’s using this universalist discourse? What bothers you the most?</p><p>Eric Zemmour:</p><p>All of it bothers me. All of it bothers me.</p><p>I mean, this pope, as you can see, is obviously an enemy of Europe.</p><p>He has taken the side of the enemies of Europe. He’s speaking for the extreme Left, who hate the heritage of Europe and our countries.</p><p>You know, Catholics are not obliged to obey the pope if he becomes political.</p><p>They have to obey the pope, as I said earlier, for the principle of subsidiarity.</p><p>They have to obey the pope for the dogma, but this is not dogma. He’s becoming political.</p><p>Catholics aren’t obliged to obey him.</p><p>TV Host:</p><p>—Marc. —I’d like to touch on two or three points, but I don’t have time to develop everything. —No, no. No time.</p><p>Marc Guest on Show:</p><p>The first point is about the hegemony of Christian dogma, which a number of popes have wanted. In a few moments, we’ll talk about Boniface VIII.</p><p>Meaning, at that time, the Pope dreamed of Europe as a Christian kingdom.</p><p>So it was extremely political. They wanted to reign over kings.</p><p>That’s the first point, no, but it’s to remind you, because you always like historical references.</p><p>Eric Zemmour:</p><p>You’re right, you’re right.</p><p>Marc Guest:</p><p>—The second point, I’d like to say I reflect on, is his mentality. When you evoke his youth in Argentina, you mustn’t forget, what happened in Argentina, with murders.</p><p>—A dictatorship. A horror of barbarism, which was led by the military, and I think there was s a kind of bruising that gave the him desire for a better world.</p><p>No but, it’s to accept what he is.</p><p>Eric Zemmour:</p><p>—I totally agree with that, on both points. 1. Popes have always been in politics. You are absolutely right, but, precisely, the King of France has always resisted. That’s what you’re going to tell me. —But OK, no, but I agree. In particular.</p><p>There have always been theocratic tendencies in the church, but it was fought by Jesus Christ’s own words.</p><p>The kingdom is not to summon. We give back to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God. Well, I am sending it back to the Pope today.</p><p>All right, but I want to say that the intention of Boniface VIII And all the others, it was the same. The other point is how in this case of John Paul II, John Paul II was an extremely political pope. He fought against communism and helped to bring communism to an end.</p><p>—You are right.

Ancient Greek texts and Greek culture were never “lost” to be somehow “recovered” and “transmitted” by Islamic scholars, as so many academic historians and journalists continue to write: these texts were always there, preserved and studied by the monks and lay scholars of </span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="color: #1c1e21; display: inline; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">the Greek Roman Empire and passed on to Europe and to the Islamic empire at various times. As Michael Harris points out in his History of Libraries in the Western World:<br /><br />'The great writings of the classical era, particularly those of Greece … were always available to the Byzantines and to those Western peoples in cultural and diplomatic contact with the Eastern Empire.… Of the Greek classics known today, at least seventy-five percent are known through Byzantine copies.'<br /><br />The Muslim intellectuals who served as propagandists for Caliph Al-Mamun (the same caliph who started the famous Islamic Inquisition to cope with the rationalism that had begun to infiltrate Islam upon its contact with Greek knowledge), such as al-Gahiz (d. 868), repeatedly asserted that Christianity had stopped the Rum (Romans—that is, the inhabitants of the Greek Roman Empire) from taking advantage of classical knowledge. This propaganda is still repeated today by those Western historians who not only are biased against Christianity but also are often occupationally invested in the field of Islamic studies and Islamic cultural influence. Lamenting the end of the study of ancient philosophy and science upon the presumed closing of the Athenian Neoplatonic Academy by Emperor Justinian I in 529 is part of this narrative. Yet this propaganda does not correspond to the facts, as Speros Vryonis and others have shown, and as evidenced by the preservation and use of ancient Greek knowledge by the Christians of the empire of the Greeks. The Christian Greeks themselves were aware of their own civilizational superiority as well as the medieval Muslim propaganda against it.<br /><br />In the West several works of Aristotle were available to Roman Catholic medieval scholars in Latin translations from Greek dating back to Boethius in the sixth century and Marius Victorinus in the fourth century. By the end of the twelfth century, the Columbia History of Western Philosophy reminds us, “authors of the Latin West were quite “familiar with the logical works (Organon) of Aristotle.” As the historian Sylvain Gouguenheim has shown, with the translations made at the monastery of Mont Saint-Michel, medieval scholars hardly needed translations of Aristotle from Arabic into Latin. Moreover, we know that Saint Thomas Aquinas read Aristotle translated directly from the Greek texts into Latin by William of Moerbeke (1215–1286), a Dominican who was Latin bishop of Corinth—that is, a Roman Catholic bishop of a city in largely Christian Orthodox Greece. William produced more than twenty-five translations of Aristotle in addition to translations of Archimedes, Proclus, Ptolemy, Galen, and many other Greek thinkers. In fact, as will be shown, it was Christian scholars who were responsible for bringing Greek knowledge to Islam, and this knowledge came to Islam only because Muslim forces had conquered areas (the Middle East and North Africa) where a rich Greek Christian civilization had developed...<br /><br />Christian Europe, including the Christian kingdoms in Spain, could not benefit more from its commerce with the superior civilization of the Christian Greek Roman Empire because, as Henri Pirenne pointed out long ago, Islamic warriors’ attacks had turned the then-Christian Mediterranean sea into a battlefield, and eventually into an Islamic lake, and had consequently short-circuited the direct cultural exchange between Europe and the empire of the Greeks. Therefore the Islamic empire was arguably the cause of the relative slowing down of European development in the early or “dark” Middle Ages...of course cultural and especially commercial exchange between West and East continued to occur, and now largely via the Islamic empire, but this happened not because of the civilizational properties of medieval Islam but because medieval Islam had interrupted the direct communication in the first place.<br /><br />Therefore the torrent of Islamocentric academic publications; television documentaries from PBS, the History Channel, and the BBC; declarations by UNESCO; and the National Geographic traveling exhibits extolling the “transmission of Greek science and technology” by Islam to the backward West overlooks that, whatever the actual degree of this transmission, the transmission not only of Greek science and technology but also of Greek sculpture, painting, drama, narrative, and lyric, which could not and did not take place via Islam because of religious barriers, would equally have taken place without Islam, if Islam had not interrupted with its military conquests of the seventh and eighth centuries the direct communication between the Christian West and the Christian East.<br /><br />In fact, when Greek scholars began to arrive in Italy escaping from the final destruction of the Christian Greek Roman Empire by Islam in the fifteenth century...they brought Greek drama, narrative, lyric poetry, philosophy (significantly Plato), and art to the West. They decisively contributed to (and perhaps even started, as many scholars have argued) what would be the Italian Renaissance. This massive cultural transmission showed the sort of impact the Christian Greeks could have had on western Europe centuries earlier, perhaps as early as the seventh century, without the Islamic interruption.<br /><br />Moreover, in Constantinople alone, we know from contemporary testimonies that the medieval Islamic conquest was responsible for the destruction of hundreds of thousands of Greek manuscripts during the capture and sacking of this Christian Greek city by the Ottoman sultan (and caliph of all Muslims) Mehmet II in 1453. We will never know how much of Greek literature and art and scientific knowledge was lost with the destruction of the Christian Greek Roman Empire. To this damage caused to European civilization should be added the demographic disaster resulting from the millions of European men, women, and children captured or bought as slaves by Islam throughout the Middle Ages and beyond. The historian Robert Davis has estimated that more than a million white slaves were traded in Islamic lands between the sixteenth and the seventeenth centuries alone.”<br /><br />Excerpt From: Darío Fernández-Morera. “The Myth of the Andalusian Paradise.”</span>Universal Human Rights Alpha and Omegahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15629531825076256906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2137097565336631982.post-17930617635086588382019-08-24T18:00:00.000-07:002019-08-24T18:37:19.939-07:00Chesterton on the CrusadesThe critic of the Crusade talks as if it had det out to fight some inoffensive tribe or temple in the interior of Tibet, which was never discovered until it was invaded. They seem entirely to forget that long before the Crusaders had dreamed of riding to Jerusalem, the Moslems had almost ridden into Paris. They seem to forget that if the Crusaders nearly conquered Palestine, it was but a return upon the Moslems who had nearly conquered Europe.<br />

As part of the Roman struggle against Carthage, the Romans invaded the Iberian peninsula in 206 BC. Scipio Africanus was victorious at Alcalá del Rio near present day Seville and founded the city Italica and his army crushed the resistance of the native Iberians and soon transformed Andalucia into one of Rome's richest and best organized colonies. Cadiz became Roman in 200 BC. The Romans remained for 700 years.<br />
<br />
In 169 BC Roman consul M. Claudius Marcellus, grandson of Marcus Claudius Marcellus, who had governed both Further and Hither Spain (Hispania Ulterior and Hispania Citerior, respectively), founded a Latin colony alongside the pre-existing Iberian settlement of Corduba.<br />
<br />
The cities walls had been built after the Romans captured the city in 206 BC, making it part of the Roman Republic. The walls now form part of the historic center of Córdoba, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Between 143 and 141 BC the town was besieged by Viriatus. The famous Cordoba Treasure, with mixed local and Roman artistic traditions, was buried in the city at this time; it is now in the British Museum.<br />
<br />
It became a colonia with the title Patricia, between 46 and 45 BC. It was sacked by Caesar in 45 due to its Pompeian allegiance, and resettled with veterans by Augustus. Many veterans were settled in this area (from the Sixth and Tenth legions).<br />
<br />
It became capital of Baetica and had a colonial and provincial forum and many temples. It was the chief center of Roman intellectual life in Hispania Ulterior (Further Spain). Its republican poets were succeeded by Seneca and Lucan.<br />
<br />
At the time of Julius Caesar, Córdoba was the capital of the Roman province of Hispania Baetica. The great Roman philosopher Seneca the Younger, his father, the orator Seneca the Elder, and his nephew, the poet Lucan came from Roman Cordoba.<br />
<br />
In the late Roman period, its bishop Hosius was the dominant figure of the western Church throughout the earlier 4th cent. Later, it occupied an important place in the Provincia Hispaniae of the Byzantine Empire (552–572) and under the Visigoths, who conquered it in the late 6th century.<br />

ROME, May 17, 2019 (<a href="https://www.lifesitenews.com/" style="background: 0px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #007eac; text-decoration-line: none;">LifeSiteNews</a>) ― Resisting “large-scale Muslim immigration” is “a responsible exercise of one’s patriotism," Cardinal Raymond Burke said today.</div>
<div style="background-color: clear; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
The Cardinal made the remark at this afternoon’s Question and Answer session at the Rome Life Forum in Rome. The session immediately followed <a href="https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/cdl.-burke-god-does-not-make-one-world-government-just-and-legitimate" style="background: 0px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #007eac; text-decoration-line: none;">Burke’s address</a> on filial piety and national patriotism. </div>

<div style="background-color: clear; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
Burke had been asked, presumably apropos of <a href="https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/vatican-would-deny-papal-blessing-to-politician-strongly-against-illegal-immigration" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; box-sizing: border-box; color: #005879; outline: 0px;">Pope Francis’ refusal to grant an audience to Italy’s deputy prime minister Matteo Salvini</a>, if a politician who resists large-scale Muslim immigration should be refused a papal blessing.</div>
<div style="background-color: clear; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
The Cardinal indicated that he wouldn’t comment on papal blessings, but that he thought the “fundamental question” was regarding the morality of resisting Islamic mass migration. </div>
<div style="background-color: clear; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
“I think the fundamental question here is: is someone who resists large-scale Muslim immigration committing an immoral act, and therefore should be, let’s say, denied Holy Communion or in some way recognized as a public sinner,” he said. </div>
<div style="background-color: clear; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
Burke responded by saying that the Church’s teaching on immigration, which he had discussed in his speech, supported individuals who are “not able to find a way of living in their own country.” </div>
<div style="background-color: clear; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
“And this is not true of immigrants who are opportunists, in particular in the case of Islam, which by its definition believes itself to be destined to rule the world, coming in large numbers to countries,” he said. </div>
<div style="background-color: clear; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
“You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to see what’s happened, for instance, in Europe, in countries like France and Germany and also here in Italy. And it’s also happening in the United States.”</div>
<div style="background-color: clear; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
Burke cited a book called <a href="https://www.amazon.com/No-Go-Zones-Sharia-Neighborhood/dp/B074FJRJ5Z" style="background: 0px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #007eac; text-decoration-line: none;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">No Go Zones</em></a> which, he said, “records places in the United States where, in fact, Muslim immigrants have set up their own legal order.” </div>
<div style="background-color: clear; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
“In other words, they resist the legitimate authority of the state,” he continued. </div>
<div style="background-color: clear; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
This suggests to the cardinal, then, that resisting mass immigration by Muslims into one’s country is a laudable act of patriotism. </div>
<div style="background-color: clear; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
“So to be opposed to large-scale Muslim immigration is … a responsible exercise of one’s patriotism,” he said. </div>
<div style="background-color: clear; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
“Yes, [some] people are true refugees. We must receive them and help them in every way, but this is not the case when you have simply a large scale immigration.”</div>
<div style="background-color: clear; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
In his talk prior to the Q&A session, the Cardinal had quoted the 1992 Catholic Catechism regarding immigration, citing passages that said countries should prudently discriminate regarding migration and also outlined the duty of immigrants to respect the customs and laws of their host nations: </div>
<div style="background-color: clear; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
"The Catechism of the Catholic Church then takes up the obligations of 'more prosperous nations … , to the extent that they are able, to welcome the foreigner in search of the security and the means of livelihood which he cannot find in his country of origin,”'Burke said. "Such welcome, as is clear from the text, is not indiscriminate, for it depends on the capacity of nations to accept such refugees from their homelands and on the impossibility of the refugees to find the means to live in their homelands."</div>

Thomas D. Williams, Ph.D.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Every nation has the right to distinguish, by country of origin, who can migrate to it and apply appropriate immigration policies, according to the great medieval scholar and saint Thomas Aquinas.
</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In a surprisingly contemporary <a class="x5l" href="http://www.newadvent.org/summa/2105.htm#article3" rel="noopener external" style="border: 0px; color: #0088bb; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">passage</a> of his <em style="border: 0px; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Summa Theologica</em>, Aquinas noted that the Jewish people of Old Testament times did not admit visitors from all nations equally, since those peoples closer to them were more quickly integrated into the population than those who were not as close. </span><br />
<br />
Some antagonistic peoples were not admitted at all into Israel due to their hostility toward the Jewish people.<br />
<br />
The Law “prescribed in respect of certain nations that had close relations with the Jews,” the scholar noted, such as the Egyptians and the Idumeans, “that they should be admitted to the fellowship of the people after the third generation.”<br />
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br />
Citizens of other nations “with whom their relations had been hostile,” such as the Ammonites and Moabites, “were never to be admitted to citizenship.”<br />
<br />
“The Amalekites, who were yet more hostile to them, and had no fellowship of kindred with them, were to be held as foes in perpetuity,” Aquinas observed.<br />
<br />
For the scholar, it seemed sensible to treat nations differently, depending on the affinity of their cultures with that of Israel as well as their historic relations with the Jewish people.<br />
<br />
In his remarkably nuanced commentary, Aquinas also distinguished among three types of immigrants in the Israel of the Old Testament.<br />
<br />
First were “the foreigners who passed through their land as travelers,” much like modern day visitors with a travel visa.<br />
<br />
Second were those who “came to dwell in their land as newcomers,” seemingly corresponding to resident aliens, perhaps with a green card, living in the land but not with the full benefits of citizenship.<br />
<br />
A third case involved those foreigners who wished “to be admitted entirely to their fellowship and mode of worship.” Even here, dealing with those who wished to integrate fully into the life and worship of Israel required a certain order, Aquinas observed. “For they were not at once admitted to citizenship: just as it was law with some nations that no one was deemed a citizen except after two or three generations.”<br />
<br />
“The reason for this was that if foreigners were allowed to meddle with the affairs of a nation as soon as they settled down in its midst,” Aquinas logically reasoned, “many dangers might occur, since the foreigners not yet having the common good firmly at heart might attempt something hurtful to the people.”<br />
<br />
In other words, Aquinas taught that total integration of immigrants into the life, language, customs and culture (including worship, in this case) was necessary for full citizenship.<br />
<br />
<br />
It requires time for someone to learn which issues affect the nation and to make them their own, Aquinas argued. Those who know the history of their nation and have lived in it, working for the common good, are best suited to participate in decision-making about its future.<br />
<br />
It would be dangerous and unjust to place the future of a nation in the hands of recent arrivals who do not fully understand the needs and concerns of their adoptive home.<br />
<br />
When facing contemporary problems, modern policy makers can often benefit from the wisdom of the great saints and scholars who have dealt with versions of the same issues in ages past.<br />
<br />
Aquinas’ reflections reveal that similar problems have existed for centuries—indeed, millennia—and that distinguishing prudently between nations and cultures doesn’t automatically imply prejudice or unfair discrimination.<br />
<br />
Sometimes, it’s just the right thing to do.<br />

B. Zaki<br />
<br />
Article published on May 9, 2016 on <a href="http://www.arabhumanists.org/arab-women-pre-islam/">Arab Humanists</a><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“Islamic civilization developed a construct of history that labeled the pre-Islamic period the Age of Ignorance and projected Islam as the sole source of all that was civilized – and used that construct so effectively in its rewriting of history that the peoples of Middle East lost all knowledge of the past civilizations of the region. Obviously, that construct was ideologically serviceable, successfully concealing, among other things, the fact that in some cultures of the Middle East women had been considerably better off before the rise of Islam than afterward” (Ahmed, 1992; p. 37).</blockquote>
In the quote provided above, Leila Ahmed, a Harvard Divinity School scholar of Islam, highlights the reasons for the filtered version of the history of women of pre-Islamic Arabia. If you try Googling ‘Status of Women in Islam’, unsurprisingly you will be offered millions of results. A more difficult task is to find out how women have been discussed in Islamic literature over the last 14 centuries (by men, to be precise). A pattern emerges. The words ‘Status of Women in Islam’ do not appear until the early 20th century. Before that, Islamic scholars wrote on the ‘Duties of a Muslim Woman’ or ‘Roles of Muslim Women.’<br /><br />These early scholars, writers and historians nonetheless, did often show through historical examples that Muslim women must not act like the women from ‘pre-Islamic time’ (pre-Islamic Age of Ignorance). For example, when a few years after Prophet Muhammad’s death, a young Muslim woman began sleeping with her male slave stating that “I thought that ownership by the right hand made lawful to me what it makes lawful to men”, Umar Ibn Khattab, who judged the ‘matter’, sternly rebuked her and announced that she had acted “in Ignorance” (i.e., like women did in pre-Islamic time) and deliberately misinterpreted the message of the Quran. In other words, Quran does not make lawful to women what it makes lawful to men; their rights are not the same. He then banned her from ever marrying a free man (Musannaf of `Abd al-Razzaq al-Sanani in Ali, 2010). This incident was recorded and used by early scholars to show that pre-Islamic women were wrong in exercising their sexual independence and freedom and that the Islamic model of patriarchal marriage and sex was licit and superior.<br /><br />Fast-forward about eleven centuries, many parts of the world that were once colonised by Muslims (which shaped the Muslim narratives about women in Islam in those centuries) were being colonised by Europeans who scorned Muslims for their backwardness and seclusion of women. This was a time when Muslim scholars had to urgently show to the world that Islam actually “raised the status of women.” There was a shift from a more authoritative and pompous scholarly tone discussing Muslim women like al Ghazali’s, that dictated to Muslim women how they should behave and obey their husbands, and the more accusatory tone of the later scholars who made excuses for Islam’s treatment of women by claiming that women of pre-Islamic time were “mere chattel” and Quran was revealed for a Muslim woman to “rescue her from the gloomy injustice of Pre-Islamic darkness.[1]”<br /><br />These latter politically shaped narratives are the ones we are still reading and using. To show that Islam bettered the lives of Muslim women, a parallel history had to be created of women in pre-Islamic time where women: “were treated like slaves or property. Their personal consent concerning anything related to their well-being was considered unimportant and unnecessary to such an extent that they were never even treated as a party to a marriage contract. They had no independence, could not own property and were not allowed to inherit. In times of war, women were treated as part of the loot. Simply put, their plight was unspeakable…The practice of killing female children was rampant. The pagan Arabs used to bury alive their daughters with the fear that these girls will grow up and will get married to some men who will be called their sons-in-law.[2]”<br /><br />These narratives did not only cover the “plight of women” in Arabia before Islam, but justified the invasions of lands by Muslims by extending it to “all nations of the World[3]” which necessitated that the new Islamic law be accepted as the most just system since the “advent of Islam brought profound changes to the Arabian society in general and to women in particular[4].” In doing so, these Muslim histories do exactly what contemporary war politicians do – justify their mission by stating that “Islam liberated women[5].”<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">History of pre-Islamic Arabian women</span><br /><br />More recently, several Muslim women have begun to research the lives of women in pre-Islamic Arabia. This is by no means an easy task since as when Muslims spread from Medina they categorically destroyed the old ways of life: temples, pagan poetry written on animal skins, idols of gods and goddesses etc, and Islamic history has practically no records written by women. What little we know are reports in Islamic texts, which are narrated to establish the new order, and a few archeological finds. The result is that we have pamphlets, web links and books that preach women that “Islam truly liberated women” while there is no justification for the existence of women like Khadija bint Khuwalid, Hind bint Utbah, Asma Bint Marwan, Lubna bint Hajar, Arwa umm Jamil amongst others, if the general condition of Arab women was not more than mere chattel.<br /><br />Reading all the sources now available, one can see that, in the absence of a single law before Islam, lives of men and women in Arabia depended on which tribe they belonged to. Islam did lay down comprehensive law and while some women may have enjoyed more rights under Islamic law, it is certainly true that the rights of others were severely curtailed. The resultant picture that emerges is that of a deeply patriarchal form of religious law rather than one that could have been more balanced, just and equal. Like Leila Ahmed writes us in her book (1991, p. 60):<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“That women felt Islam to be a somewhat depressing religion is suggested by a remark of Muhammad’s great-granddaughter Sukaina, who, when asked why she was so merry and her sister Fatima so solemn, replied that it was because she had been named after her pre-Islamic great-grandmother, whereas her sister has been named after her Islamic grandmother.”</blockquote>
Furthermore, it can be argued that the ‘status’ of all women in Islam is not equal either. Islamic jurisprudence supports classism and Quran differentiates between free and enslaved women as will be seen below.<br /><br />There are several ways in which Islam could have established gender equality based on the practice already available in pre-Islamic time. That women in pre-Islamic time were used to being treated equally with men can be inferred from Hind bint Utbah’s feisty comment to Muhammad, “By God, you ask us something that you didn’t ask men. In any case, we shall grant it to you![6]” when the latter asked Hind to take his oath of allegiance which is different for women. Muslim scholars point out that some “distinguished women converted to Islam prior to their husbands, a demonstration of Islam’s recognition of their capacity for independent action[7].” However, what this demonstrates is the independence of pre-Islamic women who would have never been able to convert independently without their male kin if their independent status was not already established.<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Marriage</span><br /><br />Hoyland gives several examples to illustrate that while Islamic law establishes ‘descent through the male line’, pre-Islamic Arabia also recognized ‘matrilineal arrangements’ which allowed women to choose who they wished to marry and have children with (2003, p.129-131). Muslims claim that ‘Islam gave women the right to choose their husband’, but there are instances where Muslim girls were married off by their guardians/fathers, examples of which include: Aisha being married off to Muhammad as a child (presumably without her knowledge), al-Musayyab ibn Najaba giving his newborn daughter’s hand in marriage to his cousin’s son, Muhammad arranging his cousin, Zainab bint Jahsh’s (apparently against her will prompting the revelation of 33:36, see tafsir of al Jalalayn[8]) marriage to his adopted Zayd ibn Harithah. Thus we see that if male guardians generally married off women in pre-Islamic time, the practice did not stop with the coming of Islam.<br /><br />We also see Islamic law making it necessary for a woman (whether virgin or previously married) to have a male guardian give her away in marriage, for example we learn that when Muhammad married Umm Salamah she was an ‘older widow’ but what we hardly read is that she was “married to the Prophet” by her son, Salamah (Ibn Hisham, 2010, p. 793). On the other hand, the pre-Islamic forms of unions, some of which gave authority to women in a marriage, were replaced by patriarchal order by Islam (see Ahmed, 1986, p. 667) scraping off marriages that assisted women like: uxorilocal marriage (according to Ahmed, Muhammad’s own mother had contracted this form of marriage with Abdullah ibn Abdul Muttalib), pre-Islamic form of mutah marriage (which according to Robertson in Kinship And Marriage in Early Arabia may have been the type contracted between Khadija and Muhammad since he remained monogamous), and even polyandry practiced by women belonging to matrilineal tribes. In the words of Fatima Mernissi (2011), polyandry, which was banned by Islam, was degrading to men not women:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“Group sex marriages, where the woman could entertain relations either with a group of less than ten men or consume a limitless number of partners, degraded men to animal-like anonymity. Fatherhood, which implied that the woman limited her sexual desire to consuming only her husband’s body was a rare privilege, since children belonged to the mother’s tribe in general.”</blockquote>
Anonymity of the father meant a man’s role was that of a mere sperm donor and a temporary sexual object. Since the woman gave birth to a child and raised them, she took central stage position. According to Robertson (1907), polyandry as practiced in the pre-Islamic world is generally represented by Muslim writers as fornication however, he says, “where the children are not bastards, and the mothers are not disgraced or punished for their unchastity, this term is plainly in- appropriate.”<br />
<br /><span style="font-size: large;">Divorce</span><br /><br />Another area where Islam changed power balance between men and women is divorce. While generally men held the right to divorce women in pre-Islamic time, there are also records that indicate that women dismissed their husbands with an equal right:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
‘The women in the pre-Islamic time, or some of them, had the right to dismiss their husbands, and the form of dismissal was this. If they lived in a tent they turned it round, so that if the door faced east it now faced west, and when the man saw this he knew that he was dismissed and did not enter.’”(Isfahani in Hoyland, p. 130).</blockquote>
The above report dismisses the claim that it was Islam that gave women the right to divorce, which is also factually untrue since a Muslim woman cannot divorce her husband, but has to ask to be divorced by him. An option of equality would have been to make ‘divorce through arbitration’ the law for both men and women. Instead men have the full right to dismiss a wife independently even through oral pronouncement, while a woman has to ‘ask’ her husband for divorce through third party intercession (called Khul):<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“Islam further restricted women’s divorce rights by leaving it only to the husband to decide on divorce. Although the practice of foregoing one’s mahr for a divorce continues to exist in Muslim countries up to now, it no longer guarantees the wife a divorce: the husband has the right to refuse a divorce even if the wife is prepared to forego her mahr. Only very limited circumstances (such as disappearance of a husband over four years, or extreme physical deformities leading to sexual impotence) entitle a wife to ask an Islamic judge for a divorce. The final decision is left to the judge, however.[9]”</blockquote>
This disparity has never been clearer than in modern time when Muslim men can divorce via text messages[10], while Muslim women have to wait for years to obtain a divorce[11] making it clear that changing the direction of the opening of a tent was unquestionably empowering for a pre-Islamic woman!<br />
<br /><span style="font-size: large;">Bridal Price</span><br /><br />Islam also continued the practice of ‘bridal price’ (called Mahr or Sadaq) making Islamic marriage a ‘marriage of authority.’ Mahr or Sadaq is explained in Islam (as was understood before Islam as well) as the price a man pays a woman to have sex with her (amusingly called ‘thaman al bud’a’ – ‘the vulva’s price’, by Imam Shafi; see Ali, 2006, p. 4). However, before Islam, some women were able to contract marriages with men who were obligated to live in the woman’s house. The offspring produced in such a marriage would remain with the woman and her family and the husband did not receive inheritance from the wife upon her death. Some early biographers of Muhammad claim that Khadija paid four thousand dinars to Muhammad upon their marriage which makes scholars like Robertson and Leila Ahmed to speculate that the pre-Islamic type of marriage between the two obligated Muhammad to live in Khadija’s house and remain monogamous as long as she was alive (he also received nothing in inheritance upon her death). After Islam, men were no longer required to be monogamous and allowed up to four wives and as many concubines as they can afford. Women, on the other hand, were banned from practicing polyandry. Muslim scholars explain that Islam allows men four wives (ignoring the countless concubines!) making it the only religious system in the world to restrict limitless polygyny for the first time. This we know is not true. Over five hundred years before Islam, Hinduism had already laid down the law according to which the upper caste, Brâhmanas were allowed to four wives (Baudhayana Prasna I, Adhyay 8, Kandikka 16[12]).<br /><br />Thus, there were other religious systems before Islam that restricted polygyny and similar models must have been available for Muslims to adopt including an equally satisfying monogamous model that could have been established as the preferred model for both sexes by ending the practice of ‘thaman al bud’a’ which reduces the significance of a woman to that of purchased goods. This is not pointed out in modern Islamic discourses, which have started to call Mahr/Sadaq a ‘sweet gift’ rather than “vulva’s price.” Mahr is interchangeably used with Sadaq in Islamic discourses although the former was paid, in pre-Islamic time, to the male guardian of the bride, while the latter was given to the bride. After Islam, although it remains as the payment that gives a man “the right to enjoy the women’s private parts” (Sahih Bukhari – Volume 7, Book 62, Number 81), Mahr or Sadaq is directly given to the bride and becomes her property. However, because a man buys a woman’s vulva through Mahr (Quran, 4:24), she must remain monogamous and faithful to her husband; if she is not, he can take the Mahr back (Quran, 4:19). If he no longer wants her, he may divorce her and let her keep the Mahr since he has already ‘gone into’ what he paid for (Quran, 4:20-21). If a woman wants a divorce, she returns the Mahr so she can be “released/freed” (“tasrīḥun” – Quran, 2:229). This is a clear model of patriarchal marriage of authority where the woman’s vulva is purchased and she must request to be “released”, which Islam established as the standardized model bringing it from pre-Islamic time while abolishing all other models, some of which placed women at an equal footing or in a more favourable position.<br />
<br /><span style="font-size: large;">Social roles pre-Islamic women played</span><br /><br />Being wives and mothers was not the only roles women played in pre-Islamic time. Women commissioned inscriptions, made offerings to their gods in their own right, acted as administrative officers, took up their deceased husbands’ overloardship, and constructed public buildings and tombs (Hoyland, p. 132; also see Al Fassi, 2001, p. 48-55) leading historians to claim that the last activity indicates a ‘considerable degree of financial independence (Ibid).’ Ahmed also explains that, “Jahilia women were priests, soothsayers, prophets, participants in warfare, and nurses on the battlefield. They were fearlessly outspoken, defiant critics of men; authors of satirical verse aimed at formidable male opponents; keepers, in some unclear capacity, of the keys of the holiest shrine in Mecca; rebels and leaders of rebellions that included men; and individuals who initiated and terminated marriages at will, protested the limits Islam imposed on that freedom, and mingled freely with the men of their society until Islam banned such interaction” (1992, p. 62).<br /><br />Furthermore, Muslims claim that in pre-Islamic time during “times of war, women were treated as part of the loot. Simply put, their plight was unspeakable[13].” But that very well continued into Islam:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Narrated Buraida: The prophet sent Ali to Khalid to bring the Khumus ([one fifth] of the booty) and I hated Ali, and Ali had taken a bath (after a sexual act with a slave girl from the Khumus). I said to Khalid, “Don’t you see this (i.e. Ali)?” When we reached the prophet I mentioned that to him. He said, “O Buraida! Do you hate Ali?” I said, “Yes” He said, “Do you hate him, for he deserves more than that from the Khumus.” (Sahih Bukhari 5:59:637). Also see Sahih Bukhari 7:62:137; Sahih Bukhari 5:59:512; Sahih Bukhari 5:59:459.)</blockquote>
<span style="font-size: large;">Inheritance</span><br />
<br />Similarly, “Muslim writers on the subject of inheritance often state that Islam instituted inheritance and property rights for women, something that they were presumably deprived of in pre-Islamic Arabia. This is simply false and in contradiction to many statements in the Muslim hadith itself[14]” for we read about the wealth Khadija had inherited and owned. We even read about Sulafa and Hubba – two women who were entrusted with being the Keepers of the Key of Kaaba, something that never happened after Mecca was attacked and Muslims subsequently occupied Kaaba – women never became the successors who could become the Keepers of the Key. We now know (through the study of none other than a Meccan Muslim woman) that “women were able to inherit and also to bequeath inheritance to whom so ever they wish (sic). The fact that women were those who bestow rights to their close relatives demonstrates their legal power of ownership and inheritance” (Al Fassi, 2001, p. 55).<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Veil</span><br /><br />In modern Muslim circles, we also see assertions that veil is liberation from sexual attention, that it is a feminist choice that ‘dignifies a woman’ because before Islam women used to roam around naked. This is not entirely true. Classism existed in the pre-Islamic Arabian society. The upper class, free women would cover their bodies, even faces, because their “sexuality and reproductive capability belonged to one man” (Ahmed, 1992, p. 12) – this continued into Islam. Women belonging to the working class and those who were slaves did not cover themselves; in fact, slaves were not allowed to cover their bodies and were punished if they tried to behave like free women – this too continued into Islam:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Umar hit the slave women from the family of Anas ibn Malik, when he saw them covered and said, “Uncover your head, and do not resemble the free women.” – Abd al-Razzaq al-Sanani (d. 211 AH/826 CE) in Al-Musannaf</blockquote>
Based on such incidents “jurists in the following centuries allowed Muslim slave women to pray without a head covering, and walk topless in public. The slave woman’s awrah — the legally delineated area that must be covered in order to avoid sin — became the same as the man, from the navel to the knees.[15]” Renowned historian, Ronald Segal’s book, ‘Islam’s Black Slaves’, gives specific details of how throughout Muslim history classism has existed with free women and slaves treated differently just like in pre-Islamic times (2001, p. 13-65).<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Infanticide</span><br /><br />Female infanticide in pre-Islamic times is another point Muslims use to claim that women were “rescued from the gloomy injustice of Pre-Islamic darkness.” It is certainly true that Quran categorically bans infanticide and ended the practice very quickly, at least in Arabia (Quran, 6:151: 17:31). However, the practice was never widespread anyway and Quran clearly bans the infanticide of boys and girls, not just girls. Tribes that practiced infanticide did not discriminate between sons and daughters. Some tribes killed their children as a way to appease their gods. Muhammad’s grandfather, Abdul Muttalib, had sworn to his highest god, Allah, that he would sacrifice a son if he had ten. He was then required to sacrifice Abdullah (Muhammad’s father) whose name was cast by divination arrows but was saved by a female soothsayer’s consultation (Ibn Ishaq, p.66-68). Poorer tribes would kill their children from fear of poverty. There was one tribe, Tamim, in which some men would kill their daughters as they were always warring with other tribes and were afraid that their daughters would be captured and turned into concubines. However, while Quran prohibits killing children and refers to the fear and sadness associated with the birth of a daughter (16:58-59), it never banned capture of women in wars and their subsequent enslavement and concubinage. Strangely, renowned Muslim scholars like Ibn Khaldun and Ibn Sina justified capture of Africans as slaves commenting that “the Negro nations are, as a rule, submissive to slavery” since they have characteristics that “are quite similar to those of dumb animals” (Ibn Khaldun cited in Segal, 2001: 49). Similarly, al Idrisi is cited as commenting on a desirability of Nubian concubines: “Their women are of surpassing beauty. They are circumcised and fragrant-smelling…Of all the black women, they are the best for pleasures of the bed” (Ibid, p.50). Thus, we see that while degradation of women as enslaved concubines could have been banned by Islam, which was a fear out of which the Tamim tribe would kill their daughters, it not only continued the practice but was justified by the early Muslim scholars.<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Conclusion</span><br /><br />Two arguments are being made in this essay: 1] the condition of women in pre-Islamic Arabia depended on which tribe they belonged to – not all women were mistreated, in fact some were far more empowered before Islam than afterward…these reports all exist in Muslim sources; 2] Islam did not choose the more women-empowering pre-existing cultural mores to lay down laws regarding women. It appears that the Islamic laws related to women, while striving for some form of compassion for women, are consistently formed in ways to benefit men, and the focus of many of these laws has been to satisfy the almost obsessive interest of Islam in paternity. Muslim gender equality activists argue that early male scholars deliberately misinterpreted the Quran, but their entire premise is based on the belief that Islam universally improved the situation of women who lived in the gloomy, unjust, pre-Islamic darkness. Without this naïve supposition (that we have seen is a false belief), their entire argument crumbles to dust. Some Muslims have already begun to realise this:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“I have become only further convinced that if Muslim women are to come fully to terms with cases in which the Qur’anic text lends itself to meanings that are detrimental to them, we must begin to confront those meanings more honestly, without resorting to apologetic explanations for them, or engaging in interpretive manipulations to force egalitarian meanings from the text. Furthermore, I have also come to believe firmly that we must begin to radically reimagine the nature of the Qur’an’s revelation and divinity.” – Hidayatullah (2014, p. viii).</blockquote>
As more and more historians reconsider the condition of pre-Islamic women, it will become exceedingly difficult for Muslim scholars to defend the supposed gender egalitarianism in Islam without radically reimagining the nature of the Qur’an’s revelation and divinity.<br />

<ul>
<li>First migration wave to non-Muslim “host” country.</li>
<li>Appeal for humanitarian tolerance from the host society.</li>
<li>Attempts to portray Islam as a peaceful & Muslims as victims of misunderstanding and racism (even though Islam is not a ‘race’).</li>
<li>High Muslim birth rate in host country increase Muslim population.</li>
<li>Mosques used to spread Islam and dislike of host country & culture.</li>
<li>Calls to criminalize “Islamophobia” as a hate crime.</li>
<li>Threatened legal action for perceived discrimination.</li>
<li>Offers of “interfaith dialogue” to indoctrinate non-Muslims.</li>
</ul>
How many nations are suffering from Islamic infiltration? One? A handful? Nearly every nation? The Islamic ‘leadership” of the Muslim Brotherhood and others wish to dissolve each nation’s sovereignty and replace it with the global imposition of Islamic sharia law. Sharia law, based on the koran, sira and hadith, condemns liberty and forbids equality and is inconsistent with the laws of all Western nations. As the author and historian Serge Trifkovic states:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“<i>The refusal of the Western elite class to protect their nations from jihadist infiltration is the biggest betrayal in history</i>.”</blockquote>
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">STAGE 2: CONSOLIDATION OF POWER</span></b><br /><br />Muslim immigrants and host country converts continue demands for accommodation in employment, education, social services, financing and courts.<br />
<ul>
<li>Proselytizing increases; Establishment and Recruitment of Jihadi cells.</li>
<li>Efforts to convert alienated segments of the population to Islam.</li>
<li>Revisionist efforts to Islamize history.</li>
<li>Efforts to destroy historic evidence that reveal true Islamism.</li>
<li>Increased anti-western propaganda and psychological warfare.</li>
<li>Efforts to recruit allies who share similar goals (communists, anarchists).</li>
<li>Attempts to indoctrinate children to Islamist viewpoint.</li>
<li>Increased efforts to intimidate, silence and eliminate non-Muslims.</li>
<li>Efforts to introduce blasphemy and hate laws in order to silence critics.</li>
<li>Continued focus on enlarging Muslim population by increasing Muslim births and immigration.</li>
<li>Use of charities to recruit supporters and fund jihad.</li>
<li>Covert efforts to bring about the destruction of host society from within.</li>
<li>Development of Muslim political base in non-Muslim host society.</li>
<li>Islamic Financial networks fund political growth, acquisition of land.</li>
<li>Highly visible assassination of critics aimed to intimidate opposition.</li>
<li>Tolerance of non-Muslims diminishes.</li>
<li>Greater demands to adopt strict Islamic conduct.</li>
<li>Clandestine amassing of weapons and explosives in hidden locations.</li>
<li>Overt disregard/rejection of non-Muslim society’s legal system, culture.</li>
<li>Efforts to undermine and destroy power base of non-Muslim religions including and especially Jews and Christians.</li>
</ul>
Is there a pattern here? Theo van Gogh is murdered in the Netherlands for ‘insulting’ Islam; the Organization of the Islamic Conference demands ‘anti-blasphemy’ laws through the United Nations; France is set afire regularly by ‘youths’ (read Muslims); the rise of (dis-) honor killings…holocaust denial…anti-Semitism…deception re the tenets of Islam; hatred toward Christians and Jews and Hindus and Buddhists. The pattern for all to see is the rise of Islamic intolerance and the covert/cultural jihad to remake host societies into sharia-compliant worlds – to remove host sovereignty and replace it with Islamic sharia law. Sharia law that condemns earthly liberty and individual freedom, that forbids equality among faiths and between the sexes, that rejects the concept of nations outside the global house of Islam, that of dar al-Islam.<br /><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br />STAGE 3: OPEN WAR w/ LEADERSHIP & CULTURE</span></b><br /><br />Open violence to impose Sharia law and associated cultural restrictions; rejection of host government, subjugation of other religions and customs.<br />
<ul>
<li>Intentional efforts to undermine the host government & culture.</li>
<li>Acts of barbarity to intimidate citizens and foster fear and submission.</li>
<li>Open and covert efforts to cause economic collapse of the society.</li>
<li>All opposition is challenged and either eradicated or silenced.</li>
<li>Mass execution of non-Muslims.</li>
<li>Widespread ethnic cleansing by Islamic militias.</li>
<li>Rejection and defiance of host society secular laws or culture.</li>
<li>Murder of “moderate” Muslim intellectuals who don’t support Islamization.</li>
<li>Destruction of churches, synagogues and other non-Muslim institutions.</li>
<li>Women are restricted further in accordance with Sharia law.</li>
<li>Large-scale destruction of population, assassinations, bombings.</li>
<li>Toppling of government and usurpation of political power.</li>
<li>Imposition of Sharia law</li>
</ul>
The website <a href="http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/">www.thereligionofpeace.com</a> keeps track of the number of violent jihad attacks as best it can. The site lists more than 14,000 attacks since September 2001. It is worth a visit. What is occurring, however, that is likely inestimable are events where muslims are bullied by other muslims for not being “muslim enough,” where non-Muslims are intimidated into doing or not doing what they desire, where remnant populations are in a death spiral simply for being non-muslim in a predominantly muslim area. Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists Animists and Atheists meet with death, property destruction or confiscation, forced conversion, rape, excessive taxation (the jizya), enslavement, riotous mobs and various other forms of islam (in-) justice at the hands of muslims in Sudan, Philippines, Kenya, Malaysia, India, etc. And let us not forget ‘death to Apostates’ the world over.<br /><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br />STAGE 4: Totalitarian ISLAMIC “THEOCRACY”</span></b><br /><br />Islam becomes the only religious-political-judicial-cultural ideology.<br />
<ul>
<li>Sharia becomes the “law of the land.</li>
<li>All non-Islamic human rights cancelled.</li>
<li>Enslavement and genocide of non-Muslim population.</li>
<li>Freedom of speech and the press eradicated.</li>
<li>All religions other than Islam are forbidden and destroyed.</li>
<li>Destruction of all evidence of non-Muslim culture, populations and symbols in country (Buddhas, houses of worship, art, etc).</li>
</ul>
The House of Islam (“peace”), dar al-Islam, includes those nations that have submitted to Islamic rule, to the soul crushing, liberty-condemning, discriminatory law of Sharia. The rest of the world in in the House of War, dar al-harb, because it does not submit to Sharia, and exists in a state of rebellion or war with the will of ‘Allah.’ No non-Muslim state or its citizens are “innocent,” and remain viable targets of war for not believing in ‘Allah.’ The Christian, Jewish, Coptic, Hindu and Zoroastrian peoples of world have suffered under subjugation for centuries. The Dhimmi-esque are forbidden to construct houses of worship or repair existing ones, economically crippled by the heavy jizya (tax), socially humiliated, legally discriminated against, criminally targeted and generally kept in a permanent state of weakness, fear and vulnerability by Islamic governments.<br /><br />It should be noted that forced conversions (Egypt) and slavery (Sudan) are still reported. Homosexuals have been hung in the public square in Iran. Young girls are married to old men. Apostates are threatened with death. “Honor” killings are routine. Women are legally second-class citizens, though Muslim males insist they are “treated better” than in the West. These more obvious manifestations may distract from some less obvious ones such as the lack of intellectual inquiry in science, narrow scope of writing, all but non-existent art and music, sexual use and abuse of youth and women, and the disregard for personal fulfillment, joy and wonder. Look into the eyes of a recently married 12 year old girl to see the consequence of the moral deprivation spawned by Islam.<br /><br />The 4 Stages of Islamic Conquest is also available in pdf format for easy sharing as part of “<a href="https://civilusdefendus.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/liberty-vs-sharia-july-2010-ltr.pdf">Liberty vs Sharia</a>“<br />

Slaves are to be freed under certain circumstances, but there is no hint that all slaves should be freed.<br />
<br />
Muhammad, the supreme example of conduct for Muslims (cf. Qur’an 33:21) bought slaves: “Jabir (Allah be pleased with him) reported: There came a slave and pledged allegiance to Allah’s Apostle (may peace be upon him) on migration; he (the Holy Prophet) did not know that he was a slave. Then there came his master and demanded him back, whereupon Allah’s Apostle (may peace be upon him) said: Sell him to me. And he bought him for two black slaves, and he did not afterwards take allegiance from anyone until he had asked him whether he was a slave (or a free man).” (Muslim 3901)<br />
<br />
Muhammad took female Infidel captives as slaves: “Narrated Anas: The Prophet offered the Fajr Prayer near Khaibar when it was still dark and then said, ‘Allahu-Akbar! Khaibar is destroyed, for whenever we approach a (hostile) nation (to fight), then evil will be the morning for those who have been warned.’ Then the inhabitants of Khaibar came out running on the roads. The Prophet had their warriors killed, their offspring and woman taken as captives. Safiya was amongst the captives. She first came in the share of Dahya Alkali but later on she belonged to the Prophet. The Prophet made her manumission as her ‘Mahr.’” (Bukhari 5.59.512) Mahr is bride price: Muhammad freed her and married her. But he didn’t do this to all his slaves:<br />
<br />
Muhammad owned slaves: “Narrated Anas bin Malik: Allah’s Apostle was on a journey and he had a black slave called Anjasha, and he was driving the camels (very fast, and there were women riding on those camels). Allah’s Apostle said, ‘Waihaka (May Allah be merciful to you), O Anjasha! Drive slowly (the camels) with the glass vessels (women)!’” (Bukhari 8.73.182) There is no mention of Muhammad’s freeing Anjasha.<br />
<br />
Also, the seizure of Infidel girls and their use as sex slaves is sanctioned in the Qur’an. According to Islamic law, Muslim men can take “captives of the right hand” (Qur’an 4:3, 4:24, 33:50). The Qur’an says: “O Prophet! Lo! We have made lawful to you your wives to whom you have paid their dowries, and those whom your right hand possesses of those whom Allah has given you as spoils of war” (33:50). 4:3 and 4:24 extend this privilege to Muslim men in general. The Qur’an says that a man may have sex with his wives and with these slave girls: “The believers must win through, those who humble themselves in their prayers; who avoid vain talk; who are active in deeds of charity; who abstain from sex, except with those joined to them in the marriage bond, or whom their right hands possess, for they are free from blame.” (Qur’an 23:1-6)<br />
<br />
The rape of captive women is also sanctioned in Islamic tradition:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Abu Sirma said to Abu Sa’id al Khadri (Allah he pleased with him): 0 Abu Sa’id, did you hear Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) mentioning al-’azl? He said: Yes, and added: We went out with Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) on the expedition to the Bi’l-Mustaliq and took captive some excellent Arab women; and we desired them, for we were suffering from the absence of our wives, (but at the same time) we also desired ransom for them. So we decided to have sexual intercourse with them but by observing ‘azl (Withdrawing the male sexual organ before emission of semen to avoid conception). But we said: We are doing an act whereas Allah’s Messenger is amongst us; why not ask him? So we asked Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him), and he said: It does not matter if you do not do it, for every soul that is to be born up to the Day of Resurrection will be born. (Sahih Muslim 3371)</blockquote>
<br />
It is also in Islamic law: “When a child or a woman is taken captive, they become slaves by the fact of capture, and the woman’s previous marriage is immediately annulled.” (Umdat al-Salik O9.13)<br />
<br />
The Egyptian Sheikh Abu-Ishaq al-Huwayni <a href="http://www.translatingjihad.com/2011/05/egyptian-shaykh-jihad-is-solution-to.html">declared </a>in May 2011 that “we are in the era of jihad,” and that meant Muslims would take slaves. In a subsequent interview he elaborated:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Jihad is only between Muslims and infidels. Spoils, slaves, and prisoners are only to be taken in war between Muslims and infidels. Muslims in the past conquered, invaded, and took over countries. This is agreed to by all scholars—there is no disagreement on this from any of them, from the smallest to the largest, on the issue of taking spoils and prisoners. The prisoners and spoils are distributed among the fighters, which includes men, women, children, wealth, and so on.<br />
<br />
When a slave market is erected, which is a market in which are sold slaves and sex-slaves, which are called in the Qur’an by the name milk al-yamin, “that which your right hands possess” [Koran 4:24]. This is a verse from the Qur’an which is still in force, and has not been abrogated. The milk al-yamin are the sex-slaves. You go to the market, look at the sex-slave, and buy her. She becomes like your wife, (but) she doesn’t need a (marriage) contract or a divorce like a free woman, nor does she need a wali. All scholars agree on this point—there is no disagreement from any of them. […] When I want a sex slave, I just go to the market and choose the woman I like and purchase her.</blockquote>
<br />
Around the same time, on May 25, 2011, a female Kuwaiti politician, Salwa al-Mutairi, also <a href="http://www.translatingjihad.com/2011/06/video-kuwaiti-activist-i-hope-that.html">spoke out </a>in favor of the Islamic practice of sexual slavery of non-Muslim women, emphasizing that the practice accorded with Islamic law and the parameters of Islamic morality.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<br />
A merchant told me that he would like to have a sex slave. He said he would not be negligent with her, and that Islam permitted this sort of thing. He was speaking the truth. I brought up [this man’s] situation to the muftis in Mecca. I told them that I had a question, since they were men who specialized in what was halal, and what was good, and who loved women. I said, “What is the law of sex slaves?”<br />
<br />
The mufti said, “With the law of sex slaves, there must be a Muslim nation at war with a Christian nation, or a nation which is not of the religion, not of the religion of Islam. And there must be prisoners of war.”<br />
<br />
“Is this forbidden by Islam?” I asked.<br />
<br />
“Absolutely not. Sex slaves are not forbidden by Islam. On the contrary, sex slaves are under a different law than the free woman. The free woman must be completely covered except for her face and hands. But the sex slave can be naked from the waist up. She differs a lot from the free woman. While the free woman requires a marriage contract, the sex slave does not—she only needs to be purchased by her husband, and that’s it. Therefore the sex slave is different than the free woman.”</blockquote>
<br />
Iraqi Ayatollah Al-Haeri <a href="http://www.memri.org/clip/en/0/0/0/0/0/0/5464.htm">said </a>in April 7, 2016 that a man could offer slave girls to a friend for sex.<br />

<br />
The Mohammedan Conquest of India is probably the bloodiest story in history. It is a discouraging tale, for its evident moral is that civilization is a precarious thing, whose delicate complex of order and liberty, culture and peace may at any time be overthrown by barbarians invading from without or multiplying within. The Hindus had allowed their strength to be wasted in internal division and war; they had adopted religions like Buddhism and Jainism, which unnerved them for the tasks of life; they had failed to organize their forces for the protection of their frontiers and their capitals, their wealth and their freedom, from the hordes of Scythians, Huns, Afghans and Turks hovering about India's boundaries and waiting for national weakness to let them in.For four hundred years (600-1000 A.D.) India invited conquest; and at last it came. The first Moslem attack was a passing raid upon Multan, in the western Punjab (664 A.D.) Similar raids occurred at the convenience of the invaders during the next three centuries, with the result that the Moslems established themselves in the Indus valley about the same time that their Arab co-religionists in the West were fighting the battle of Tours (732 A.D.) for the mastery of Europe.But the real Moslem conquest of India did not come till the turn of the first millennium after Christ. In the year 997 a Turkish chieftain by the name of Mahmud became sultan of the little estate of Ghazni, in eastern Afghanistan. Mahmud knew that his throne was young and poor, and saw that India, across the border, was old and rich; the conclusion was obvious. Pretending a holy zeal for destroying Hindu idolatry, he swept across the frontier with aforce inspired by a pious aspiration for booty. He met the unprepared Hindus at Bhimnagar,slaughtered them, pillaged their cities, destroyed their temples, and carried away the accumulated treasures of centuries.Returning to Ghazni he astonished the ambassadors of foreign powers by displaying “jewelsand unbored pearls and rubies shining like sparks, or like wine congealed with ice, andemeralds like fresh sprigs of myrtle, and diamonds in size and weight like pomegranates.” <span style="font-size: x-small;">72</span> Each winter Mahmud descended into India, filled his treasure chest with spoils, and amusedhis men with full freedom to pillage and kill; each spring he returned to his capital richer than before.<br />
<br />
At Mathura (on the Jumna) he took from the temple its statues of gold encrusted with precious stones, and emptied its coffers of a vast quantity of gold, silver and jewellery; he expressed his admiration for the architecture of the great shrine, judged that its duplication would cost one hundred million dinars and the labour of two hundred years, and then ordered it to be soaked with naphtha and burnt to the ground. <span style="font-size: x-small;">73</span><br />
<br />
Six years later he sacked another opulent city of northern India, Somnath, killed all its fifty thousand inhabitants, and dragged its wealth to Ghazni. In the end he became, perhaps, the richest king that history has ever known.Sometimes he spared the population of the ravaged cities, and took them home to be sold as slaves; but so great was the number of such captives that after some years no one could be found to offer more than a few shillings for a slave.Before every important engagement Mahmud knelt in prayer, and asked the blessing of God upon his arms. He reigned for a third of a century; and when he died, full of years and honours, Moslem historians ranked him as the greatest monarch of his time, and one of the greatest sovereigns of any age.<span style="font-size: x-small;"> 74</span> <br />
<br />
Seeing the canonization that success had brought to this magnificent thief, other Moslem rulers profited by his example, though none succeeded in bettering his instruction.In 1186 the Ghuri, a Turkish tribe of Afghanistan, invaded India, captured the city of Delhi,destroyed its temples, confiscated its wealth, and settled down in its palaces to establish the Sultanate of Delhi- an alien despotism fastened upon northern India for three centuries, and checked only by assassination and revolt. The first of these bloody sultans, Kutb-ud-Din Aibak, was a normal specimen of his kind -fanatical, ferocious and merciless. His gifts, as the Mohammedan historian tells us, “were bestowed by hundreds of thousands, and his slaughters likewise were by hundreds of thousands.”In one victory of this warrior (who had been purchased as a slave), “fifty thousand men came under the collar of slavery, and the plain became black as pitch with Hindus.” <span style="font-size: x-small;">75</span><br />
<br />
Another sultan, Balban, punished rebels and brigands by casting them under the feet of elephants, removing their skins, stuffing these with straw and hanging them from the gates of Delhi. When some Mongolian habitants who had settled in Delhi, and had been converted to Islam, attempted arising, Sultan Ala-ud-din (the conqueror of Chitor) had all the males -from fifteen to thirty thousand of them - slaughtered in one day.<br />
<br />
Sultan Muhammad bin Tughlak acquired the throne by murdering his father, became a great scholar and an elegant writer, dabbled in mathematics, physics and Greek philosophy,surpassed his predecessors in bloodshed and brutality, fed the flesh of a rebel nephew to the rebel's wife and children, ruined the country with reckless inflation, and laid it waste with pillage and murder till the inhabitants fled to the jungle.He killed so many Hindus that, in the words of a Moslem historian, “there was constantly in front of his royal pavilion and his Civil Court a mound of dead bodies and a heap of corpses, while the sweepers and executioners were wearied out by their work of dragging” the victims“and putting them to death in crowds.” <span style="font-size: x-small;">76</span><br />
<br />
In order to found a new capital at Daulatabad he drove every inhabitant from Delhi and leftit a desert; and hearing that a blind man had stayed behind in Delhi, he ordered him to be dragged from the old to the new capital, so that only a leg remained of the wretch when his last journey was finished.<span style="font-size: x-small;"> 77</span><br />
<br />
The Sultan complained that the people did not love him, or recognize his undeviating justice.He ruled India for a quarter of a century, and died in bed. His successor, Firoz Shah, invaded Bengal, offered a reward for every Hindu head, paid for 180,000 of them, raided Hindu villages for slaves, and died at the ripe age of eighty. Sultan Ahmad Shah feasted for three days whenever the number of defenceless Hindus slain in his territories in one day reached twenty thousand. <span style="font-size: x-small;">78</span><br />
<br />
These rulers were often men of ability, and their followers were gifted with fierce courage and industry; only so can we understand how they could have maintained their rule among ahostile people so overwhelmingly outnumbering them. All of them were armed with a religion militaristic in operation, but far superior in its stoical monotheism to any of the popular cults of India; they concealed its attractiveness by making the public exercise of the Hindu religions illegal, and thereby driving them more deeply into the Hindu soul.Some of these thirsty despots had culture as well as ability; they patronized the arts, and engaged artists and artisans--usually of Hindu origin-- to build for them magnificent mosques and tombs; some of them were scholars, and delighted in converse with historians,poets and scientists.One of the greatest scholars of Asia, Alberuni, accompanied Mahmud of Ghazni to India, and wrote a scientific survey of India comparable to Pliny's “Natural History” and Humboldt’s “Cosmos”.<br />
<br />
The Moslem historians were almost as numerous as the generals, and yielded nothing to them in the enjoyment of bloodshed and war. The Sultans drew from the people every rupeeof tribute that could be exacted by the ancient art of taxation, as well as by straight forward robbery; but they stayed in India, spent their spoils in India, and thereby turned them back into India's economic life.Nevertheless, their terrorism and exploitation advanced that weakening of Hindu physique and morale, which had been begun by an exhausting climate, an inadequate diet, political disunity, and pessimistic religions. The usual policy of the Sultans was clearly sketched by Ala-ud-din, who required his advisersto draw up “rules and regulations for grinding down the Hindus, and for depriving them of that wealth and property which fosters disaffection and rebellion.” <span style="font-size: x-small;">79</span><br />
<br />
Half of the gross produce of the soil was collected by the government; native rulers had taken one-sixth. “No Hindu,” says a Moslem historian, “could hold up his head, and in their houses no sign of gold or silver...or of any superfluity was to be seen.... Blows, confinementin the stocks, imprisonment and chains, were all employed to enforce payment.” When one of his own advisers protested against this policy, Alauddin answered: “Oh,Doctor, thou art a learned man, but thou hast no experience; I am an unlettered man, but I have a great deal. Be assured, then, that the Hindus will never become submissive and obedient till they are reduced to poverty. I have therefore given orders that just sufficient shall be left to them from year to year of corn, milk and curds, but that they shall not be allowed to accumulate and property.” <span style="font-size: x-small;">80</span><br />

This is the secret of the political history of modern India. Weakened by division, it succumbed to invaders; impoverished by invaders, it lost all power of resistance, and took refuge in supernatural consolations; it argued that both mastery and slavery were superficial delusions, and concluded that freedom of the body or the nation was hardly worth defending in so brief a life. The bitter lesson that may be drawn from this tragedy is that eternal vigilance is the price of civilization. A nation must love peace, but keep its powder dry.<br />

Text from <a href="http://www.jihadwatch.org/2016/03/muslim-professor-islam-has-no-age-barrier-in-marriage-and-muslims-have-no-apology-for-those-who-refuse-to-accept-this">Jihadwatch.org</a> <br />
<br />
Few things are more abundantly attested in Islamic law than the permissibility of child marriage. Islamic tradition records that Muhammad’s favorite wife, Aisha, was six when Muhammad wedded her and nine when he consummated the marriage:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death)” (<a href="http://www.quranexplorer.com/hadith/english/Hadith/bukhari/007.062.088.html">Bukhari 7.62.88</a>).</blockquote>
Another tradition has Aisha herself recount the scene:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The Prophet engaged me when I was a girl of six (years). We went to Medina and stayed at the home of Bani-al-Harith bin Khazraj. Then I got ill and my hair fell down. Later on my hair grew (again) and my mother, Um Ruman, came to me while I was playing in a swing with some of my girl friends. She called me, and I went to her, not knowing what she wanted to do to me. She caught me by the hand and made me stand at the door of the house. I was breathless then, and when my breathing became all right, she took some water and rubbed my face and head with it. Then she took me into the house. There in the house I saw some Ansari women who said, “Best wishes and Allah’s Blessing and a good luck.” Then she entrusted me to them and they prepared me (for the marriage). Unexpectedly Allah’s Apostle came to me in the forenoon and my mother handed me over to him, and at that time I was a girl of nine years of age. (<a href="http://www.quranexplorer.com/hadith/english/Hadith/bukhari/005.058.234.html">Bukhari 5.58.234</a>).</blockquote>
Muhammad was at this time fifty-four years old.<br />
<br />
Marrying young girls was not all that unusual for its time, but because in Islam Muhammad is the supreme example of conduct (cf. Qur’an 33:21), he is considered exemplary in this unto today. And so in April 2011, the Bangladesh Mufti Fazlul Haque Amini declared that those trying to pass a law banning child marriage in that country were putting Muhammad in a bad light: “Banning child marriage will cause challenging the marriage of the holy prophet of Islam, [putting] the moral character of the prophet into controversy and challenge.” He added a threat: “Islam permits child marriage and it will not be tolerated if any ruler will ever try to touch this issue in the name of giving more rights to women.” The Mufti said that 200,000 jihadists were ready to sacrifice their lives for any law restricting child marriage.<br />
<br />
Likewise the influential website Islamonline.com in December 2010 justified child marriage by invoking not only Muhammad’s example, but the Qur’an as well:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The Noble Qur’an has also mentioned the waiting period [i.e. for a divorced wife to remarry] for the wife who has not yet menstruated, saying: “And those who no longer expect menstruation among your women, if you doubt, then their period is three months, and [also for] those who have not menstruated” [Qur’an 65:4]. Since this is not negated later, we can take from this verse that it is permissible to have sexual intercourse with a prepubescent girl. The Qur’an is not like the books of jurisprudence which mention what the implications of things are, even if they are prohibited. It is true that the prophet entered into a marriage contract with A’isha when she was six years old, however he did not have sex with her until she was nine years old, according to al-Bukhari.</blockquote>
Other countries make Muhammad’s example the basis of their laws regarding the legal marriageable age for girls. Article 1041 of the Civil Code of the Islamic Republic of Iran states that girls can be engaged before the age of nine, and married at nine: “Marriage before puberty (nine full lunar years for girls) is prohibited. Marriage contracted before reaching puberty with the permission of the guardian is valid provided that the interests of the ward are duly observed.”<br />
<br />
According to Amir Taheri in The Spirit of Allah: Khomeini and the Islamic Revolution (pp. 90-91), Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini himself married a ten-year-old girl when he was twenty-eight. Khomeini called marriage to a prepubescent girl “a divine blessing,” and advised the faithful to give their own daughters away accordingly: “Do your best to ensure that your daughters do not see their first blood in your house.” When he took power in Iran, he lowered the legal marriageable age of girls to nine, in accord with Muhammad’s example.<br />
<br />
Ishaq Akintola, A professor of Islamic Eschatology and Director of Muslim Rights Concern, said that “Islam has no age barrier in marriage and Muslims have no apology for those who refuse to accept this” (<a href="http://www.punchng.com/islam-has-no-age-barrier-for-marriage-muric-director-akintola/">The Punch</a>). He explained:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Islam is a complete way of life. As a religion, non-Muslims will have to take Muslims as they are, not as they want them to be. Neither Muslims nor their religion should be judged according to other standards. There will never be any inter-religious understanding so long as non-Muslims continue to measure Muslims and their way of life by Christian, Buddhist or Confucianist yardsticks. The simple truth is: Islam has no age barrier in marriage and Muslims have no apology for those who refuse to accept this, particularly since 99.99 per cent of such marriages are conducted among Muslims themselves. If the man is a Muslim and the girl is also a Muslim and the girl’s parents give their approval, what is the business of any non-Muslim in that? It is sheer interference in the affair of Muslims and an attempt to exert undue influence on them. More often than not, those who interfere in this manner have ulterior motives. It is either for the purpose of smearing the image of Islam or to gain a comparative advantage and score a religious point (for their own faith of course).</blockquote>

<span style="color: black;">The following is the story of Safiyah Bint Huyayy Ibn Akhtab, the Jewish woman who was captured when Muhammad’s troops attacked Khaybar and brought her to the Prophet as part of his share of the booty. Muhammad ordered Kinana, the young husband of Safiyah to be tortured to death to make him reveal the whereabouts of the treasure of the town. On the very nigh of that murder, he took Safiyah to his bed and claimed her as his trophy. This story is reported by Tabari in detail. It can also be found in Sira of Ibn Ishaq. The following is reported in the Book of Tabaqat, compiled by Ibn Sa’d. Two years earlier, Muhammad had beheaded Huyayy, the father of Safiyah along with 900 men of Banu Qurayza.</span></div>

<span style="color: black;">Huyayy Ibn Akhtab, father of Safiyah was the leader of the Bani Nadir, one of the Jewish tribes of Medina. Muhammad had exiled the Banu Qainuqa’, another Jewish tribe of Medina and was coveting the wealth of the Bani Nadir. He was looking for an excuse.</span></div>

<span style="color: black;">Meanwhile one of his followers had treacherously killed two travelers and had stolen their belonging. Banditry had become the way of living for the Muslims. All trade and business in Medina had disappeared after Muhammad’s migration and the only way people could survive was through banditry</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px currentColor; color: #666666; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 13px/21.46px Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px 0px 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-indent: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">

<span style="color: black;">When this person reported his crime to Muhammad and came to pay him his 20% share, Muhammad thought of a plan. He told the man that he had made a treaty with the Bani ‘Amer to not kill them and now he has to pay the blood wit. He then went to the Bani Nadir and said since they had a treaty with him they should pay the blood wit. Now this was an outrageous demand. The Medinan treaty was unilateral and was imposed on the Jews. Even then it said that the Jews will fight against the invaders. There was no clause saying they are liable for the crimes committed by Muslims. Muhammad thought that for sure the Bani nadir will object to this unjust demand and he will use it as excuse to get rid of them.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px currentColor; color: #666666; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 13px/21.46px Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px 0px 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-indent: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black;">However, when he went to their quarter, accompanied by six of his close companions, the Jews were too frightened to argue and agreed to collect the money. Muhammad and his companions then sat beneath the shade of a wall while the Jews went to collect the money that he was extorting from them. This was not what Muhammad hoped for. He had come looking for an excuse and the Jews were not giving it. So he thought of another plan. He told his companions to sit there and that he will be back soon. His companions sat and he never came. The Jews came with the money but Muhammad had already gone.</span></div>

<span style="color: black;">When they went to the mosque, the saw him there. He told them that the Jews were plotting to kill him by throwing a stone on him from the top of the wall. When his companions expressed their surprise because they did not notice anything strange, he told them Gabriel had informed him.</span></div>

<span style="color: black;">Anyway, using that excuse he demanded that the Bani Nadir leave, leaving all their wealth for him. He actually wanted to massacre them all, but give in to Abdullah ibn Ubay who told him he won’t let him kill his allies. The Bani Nadir were exiled and Muhammad took possession of all their wealth alone, 100% of it. He argued since Muslims did not have to fight, and the Jews surrendered all their spoils belonged to him personally.</span></div>

<span style="color: black;">A year alter he fell on the Bani Qurayza, the last Jewish tribe of Medina. Huyayy ibn Akhtab, the leader of the Bani Nadir was in the fortress of Bani Qurayza.

Some of the earliest accounts of it came from the narrative of the Battle of Khaybar, when the Prophet Mohammed and Muslims invaded and conquered Khaybar. It was his nephew and son-in-law, Ali ibn al Abi Talib (4th Caliph of Rashedin and the 1st Shiite Imam) who was able to unlock the gate of the fortress to allow the Muslim armies to finally conquer the fortress. After the victory Muslims committed many atrocities, slaughtered and enslaved the Jews.</span></strong></div>

<span style="color: black;">Safiyah was seventeen and very beautiful. When Muhammad raided Khaybar. He killed the unarmed men. People were not ready for war. They were taken by surprise.

<span style="color: black;">“Safiyah was born in Medinah. She belonged to the Jewish tribe of Banu ‘I-Nadir. When this tribe was expelled from Medinah in the year 4 A.H, Huyayy was one of those who settled in the fertile colony of Khaybar together with Kinana ibn al-Rabi’ to whom Safiyah was married a little before the Muslims attacked Khaybar. She was then seventeen. She had formerly been the wife of Sallam ibn Mishkam, who divorced her. One mile from Khaybar. Here the Prophet married Safiyah. She was groomed and made-up for the Prophet by Umm Sulaim, the mother of Anas ibn Malik. They spent the night there. Abu Ayyub al-Ansari guarded the tent of the Prophet the whole night. When, in the early dawn, the Prophet saw Abu Ayyub strolling up and down, he asked him what he meant by this sentry-go; he replied: “I was afraid for you with this young lady. You had killed her father, her husband and many of her relatives, and till recently she was an unbeliever. I was really afraid for you on her account”. The Prophet prayed for Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (Ibn Hisham, p. 766) Safiyah had requested the Prophet to wait till he had gone a stage away from Khaybar. “Why?” asked the Prophet. “I was afraid for you on account of the Jews who still happened to be near at Khaybar!”</span></div>

<span style="color: black;">The reason Safiyah rejected the sexual advances of Muhammad should be obvious to any thinking person. I believe most women would rather mourn than jump into bed with the killer of their father, husband and many relatives on the same day of their death. But the fact that the Prophet of Allah, this “Mercy of God to all the creation” could not contain his sexual urges for one day to let this young girl grieve, says a lot of his moral character. He was utterly bereft of conscience and empathy.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px currentColor; color: #666666; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 13px/21.46px Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px 0px 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-indent: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black;">As for the rest of the story we are not sure whether it is true or was fabricated by Muslim historians to wipe the impression of rape. But this is all we have and to find the truth we have to rely on these lopsided documents narrated and written by Muslims.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px currentColor; color: #666666; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 13px/21.46px Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px 0px 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-indent: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black;">The story goes on to say that Abu Ayyub, was concerned for the safety of the prophet because he (Muhammad) had killed Safiyah’s father, husband and many of her relatives. This is logical. It is foolish to sleep with a woman after killing her loved ones. But Safiyah’s excuse for rejecting Muhammad’s advances towards her seems unreasonable. When Muhammad took this young girl into his tent, he had already killed many Jews and had chained others. If there were any Jews left, they were more worried for their own lives than Safiyah being raped. This excuse sounds foolish and obviously forged to claim that Safiyah wanted to have sex with Muhammad, if she didn’t it was because she was concerned for his safety. The depravity of the Muslim mind is bottomless. They are a bunch of stupid people that believe in any asininity without thinking, but I am those with commonsense can see the excuses are a lie.</span></div>

<span style="color: black;">Note that the historian is saying that the wedding took place one day after Muhammad got private with Safiyah and made his moves to have sex with her. This presented no problem for the prophet as he had his Allah reveal a verse saying it is okay to sleep with women captured in war without marrying them even if they are married.</span></div>

<span style="color: black;">“The other wives of the Prophet showed their jealousy by making slights upon her Jewish origin. But the Prophet always defended her. Once Safiyah was vexed to the extreme by the taunts of all the Arab wives of the Prophet. She took the complaint to the Prophet, who felt great compassion for her. He consoled her. He encouraged her. He equipped her with logic. He said: “Safiyah, take courage and be bold. They are in no way superior to you. Tell them: I am a daughter of the Prophet Harun, a niece of the Prophet Musa, and a wife of the Prophet Muhammad”.</span></div>

<span style="color: black;">This contradicts Muhammad’s own behavior that annihilated the entire Bani Qainuqa with the pretext that few of them had killed a Muslim in retaliation of him killing a Jew. He banished an entire tribe, making them pay for the killing of a Muslim. That Muslim had already killed a Jew. But this did not matter to Muhammad. He needed an excuse to lay his hand on their wealth.</span></div>

<span style="color: black;">See how this despicable man washed his hand from his crime. Safiyah’s father was killed by Muhammad’s not by Allah. If God wanted to kill all those people He could have done it on his own. God needs no mercenaries to do his will.</span></div>

<span style="color: black;">Was this confession, if true, sincere? Was she safe to speak her mind? She was enslaved by a man who had exterminated her family. See the reference made to her “freedom”. This shows clearly that she was not free. In fact she must have been very intelligent to fabricate those lies to save her own life. But the truth is that this story is most likely a lie.</span></div>

<span style="color: black;">“When Safiyah was married, she was very young, and according to one report she was hardly seventeen years old and was extremely beautiful. Once Aisha said a few sentences about her short stature, at which the Prophet said, “You have said a thing that if it were left in the sea, it would mix with it (and make its water dirty). ” (Abu Dawud). She not only deeply loved the Prophet but also greatly respected him as Allah’s Messenger, for she heard the conversations of her father and uncle after they went to Medinah. When the Prophet migrated to Medinah, they came to see him and find out whether he was the true Messenger of Allah spoken of in the Scriptures. When they got back and talked together that night, Safiyah was in her bed listening to them. One of them said, “What do you think about him?” He replied, “He is the same Prophet foretold by our Scriptures.” Then the other said, “What is to be done?” The reply came that they must oppose him with all their might.”</span></div>

<span style="color: black;">Is this story, narrated by Abu Dawud, credible?

<span style="color: black;">Narrated ‘Abdul ‘Aziz:<br class="last" style="margin-bottom: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;" />Anas said, ‘When Allah’s Apostle invaded Khaybar, we offered the Fajr prayer there yearly in the morning) when it was still dark. The Prophet rode and Abu Talha rode too and I was riding behind Abu Talha. The Prophet passed through the lane of Khaybar quickly and my knee was touching the thigh of the Prophet. He uncovered his thigh and I saw the whiteness of the thigh of the Prophet. When he entered the town, he said, ‘Allah-o Akbar! Khaybar is ruined. Whenever we approach near a (hostile) nation (to fight) then evil will be the morning of those who have been warned.’ He repeated this thrice. The people came out for their jobs and some of them said, ‘Muhammad (has come).’ (Some of our companions added, “With his army.”) We conquered Khaybar, took the captives, and the booty was collected. Dihya came and said, ‘O Allah’s Prophet! Give me a slave girl from the captives.’ The Prophet said, ‘Go and take any slave girl.’ He took Safiyah bint Huyayy. A man came to the Prophet and said, ‘O Allah’s Apostles! You gave Safiyah bint Huyayy to Dihya and she is the chief mistress of the tribes of Qurayza and An-Nadir and she befits none but you.’ So the Prophet said, ‘Bring him along with her.’ So Dihya came with her and when the Prophet saw her, he said to Dihya, ‘Take any slave girl other than her from the captives.’ Anas added: The Prophet then manumitted her and married her.”</span></div>

<span style="color: black;">Thabit asked Anas, “O Abu Hamza! What did the Prophet pay her (as Mahr)?” He said, “Her self was her Mahr for he manumitted her and then married her.” Anas added, “While on the way, Um Sulaim dressed her for marriage (ceremony) and at night she sent her as a bride to the Prophet.

<span style="color: black;">Mahr is the dowry that a bride gets from her husband when he marries her. Muhammad did not pay Safiyah her Mahr because he had to pay it to himself for manumitting her. This story is significant because it gives us an insight into the moral and ethical values of Muhammad and his benighted followers. Muhammad was a psychopath. But Muslims have no shame. They worship a psychopath and want us to respect them. Does stupidity deserve respect? By virtue of following an insane man, every one of them acts insane.</span></div>

<span style="color: black;">Any decent, or even normal person cringer with stories like this, yet Muhammad taught that he is going to receive two rewards by marrying Safiyah. One for manumitting someone whom no one but himself had enslaved, and the other for marrying her.</span></div>

Khaybar is destroyed, for whenever we approach a (hostile) nation (to fight), then evil will be the morning for those who have been warned.” Then the inhabitants of Khaybar came out running on the roads. The Prophet had their warriors killed, their offspring and woman taken as captives. Safiyah was amongst the captives, She first came in the share of Dahya Alkali but later on she belonged to the Prophet. The Prophet made her manumission as her ‘Mahr’.

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
You will find Muslim women and Islamic apologists saying that Muslim woman is full of rights, including the right to choose her husband. Of course, this is not true, and below is another proof of that. For one thing, a Muslim woman can only marry a Muslim man. But what if she is already married to a normal husband (a non-Muslim) when resolving to become Muslim, can she stay married? The answer is NO. For her to be married, the husband must become Muslim too, otherwise the marriage has no value under the Sharia.</blockquote>

<br />
<strong><span style="color: red;">117</span>: Woman who accepts Islam and whose husband is a kaafir</strong><br />
<br />
Question<br />
<br />
If a lady reverts to Islam and is married to a non-Muslim man, must she divorce this man? If he refuses to become a Muslim, can she continue to live with him?<br />
<br />
Answer<br />
<br />
All praise be to Allah the Almighty.<br />
<br />
If a woman becomes a Muslima and her husband is a kaafir, then it becomes mandatory for her to separate from him and it is not permissible for her to remain with him in his state of shirk (disbelief), as per Allah's injunction (interpretation of the meaning):<br />
<br />
"… do not send them back to the disbelievers—they are not lawful (wives) for the disbelievers nor are the disbelievers lawful (husbands) for them…" (Al-Mumtahinah 60:10).<br />
<br />
It is her duty to invite him to Islam and to attempt to convince him via various approaches in the hope that Allah may accept her efforts and give her the great reward for his guidance through her. The prophet (peace be upon him) once told Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) when he sent him to a people who were idol-worshippers:<br />
<br />
"Invite them to Islam and inform them what is required of them, for (I swear) by Allah, that Allah guides a man through you is better than if you had humr un-na'am (a particular kind of camel which is the most sought-after wealth among the Arabs)" (Al-Bukhari, Fath il-Baari 3009).<br />
<br />
As for the course of the marriage, and what she should do if her husband accepts Islam or doesn't, Ibn ul-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy upon him) said: What is indicated by evidence of his (i.e., the prophet's) ruling is that the marriage is mawqoof, or in abeyance (i.e. suspension); if her husband accepts Islam before the elapsing of her 'iddah (waiting period), then she remains his wife. If her 'iddah elapses then she has the right to marry whom she pleases or if she likes she may wait (in the hope he may still accept Islam). If he then accepts Islam, she becomes his wife without need of renewing the marriage. (Zaad ul-Ma'aad, Vol 5 p.138).<br />
<br />
wallahu a'lam. (And Allah the Most Knowledgeable knows what is the most true and correct)<br />

In a nutshell: It is an obligation for Muslims to destroy "idols" even if they are part of the legacy of human civilization! </blockquote>
<br />
Question: <br />
Is it obligatory to destroy statues in Islam, even if they are part of the legacy of human civilization? Why is it that when the Sahaabah conquered other lands and saw statues there they did not destroy them?.<br />
<br />
Answer:<br />
<br />
Praise be to Allaah. <br />
<br />
The evidence of sharee’ah indicates that it is obligatory to destroy idols, for example: <br />
<br />
1 – Muslim (969) narrated that Abu’l-Hayaaj al-Asadi said: ‘Ali ibn Abi Taalib said to me: “Shall I not send you with the same instructions as the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) sent me? ‘Do not leave any image without defacing it or any built-up grave without leveling it.’” <br />
<br />
2 – Muslim (832) narrated from ‘Urwah ibn ‘Abasah that he said to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): “With what were you sent?” He said, “I was sent to uphold the ties of kinship, to break the idols, and so that Allaah would be worshipped alone with no partner or associate.” <br />
<br />
The obligation to destroy them is even stronger if they are worshipped instead of Allaah. <br />
<br />
3 – al-Bukhaari (3020) and Muslim (2476) narrated that Jareer ibn ‘Abd-Allaah al-Bajali said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to me: “O Jareer, will you not relieve me of Dhu’l-Khalsah?” That was a house (in Yemen) belonging to the (tribe of) Khath’am, which was called Ka’bat al-Yamaaniyyah. I set out with one hundred and fifty horsemen. I used not to sit firm on horses and I mentioned that to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). He struck me on my chest with his hand and said, 'O Allaah! Make him firm and make him one who guides others and is guided on the right path.' " So Jareer went and burned it with fire, then Jareer sent a man called Abu Artaat to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). He said, “I did not come to you until we had left it like a scabby camel.” Then the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) blessed the horses of (the tribe of) Ahmas and their men five times. <br />
<br />
Al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar said: <br />
<br />
This hadeeth indicates that it is prescribed to remove things that may tempt or confuse the people, whether they are buildings, people, animals or inanimate objects. <br />
<br />
4 – The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) sent Khaalid ibn al-Waleed (may Allaah be pleased with him) on a campaign to destroy al-‘Uzza. <br />
<br />
5 – and he sent Sa’d ibn Zayd al-Ashhali (may Allaah be pleased with him) on a campaign to destroy Manaat. <br />
<br />
6 – And he sent ‘Amr ibn al-‘Aas (may Allaah be pleased with him) on a campaign to destroy Suwaa’. All of that happened after the Conquest of Makkah. <br />
<br />
Al-Bidaayah wa’l-Nihaayah, 4/712. 776. 5/83; al-Seerah al-Nabawiyyah by Dr. ‘Ali al-Salaabi, 2/1186.<br />
<br />
Al-Nawawi said in Sharh Muslim when discussing the issue of image-making: <br />
They were unanimously agreed that whatever casts a shadow is not allowed and must be changed. <br />
Images that cast a shadow are three-dimensional images like these statues. <br />
<br />
With regard to what is said about the Sahaabah (may Allaah be pleased with them) not destroying idols in the conquered lands, this is merely conjecture. The companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) would not have left idols and statues alone, especially since they were worshipped at that time. <br />
<br />
If it is asked, how come the Sahaabah left alone the ancient idols of the Pharaohs and Phoenicians? The answer is that these idols fall into one of three categories: <br />
<br />
1 – These idols may have been in remote places that the Sahaabah did not reach; when the Sahaabah conquered Egypt, for example, that does not mean that they reached every part of the land. <br />
<br />
2 – These idols may not have been visible, rather they may have been inside Pharaonic buildings etc. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told us to hasten when passing through the abodes of the wrongdoers and those who had been punished, and he forbade entering such places. In al-Saheehayn it is says: “Do not enter upon those who have been punished unless you are weeping, lest there befall you something like that which befall them.” He (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said that when he passed by ashaab al-hijr [the dwellers of the rocky tract – see al-Hijr 15:80], in the land of Thamood, the people of Saalih (peace be upon him). <br />
<br />
According to another report narrated in al-Saheehayn, “If you are not weeping, then do not enter upon them, lest there befall you something like that which befall them.” <br />
<br />
What we think is that if the companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) saw a temple or building belonging of these people, they did not enter it or even look at what was inside it. <br />
<br />
This will dispel any confusion about why the Sahaabah did not see the Pyramids or what is inside them. There is also the possibility that their doors and entrances were covered with sand at that time. <br />
<br />
3 – Many of these idols that are visible nowadays were covered and hidden, and have only been discovered recently, or they have been brought from remote places that the companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not reach. <br />
<br />
Al-Zarkali was asked about the Pyramids and the Sphinx etc: Did the Sahaabah who entered Egypt see them? <br />
<br />
He said: They were mostly covered with sand, especially the Sphinx. <br />
<br />
Shibh Jazeerat al-‘Arab, 4/1188 <br />
<br />
Then even if we assume that there was a statue that was visible and not hidden, then we still have to prove that the Sahaabah saw it and were able to destroy it. <br />
<br />
The fact of the matter is that the Sahaabah (may Allaah be pleased with them) would not have been able to destroy some of these statues. It took twenty days to destroy some of these statues even with tools, equipment, and explosives etc that were not available to the Sahaabah at all. <br />
<br />
This is indicated by what Ibn Khuldoon said in al-Muqaddimah (p. 383), that the caliph al-Rasheed was unable to destroy the estrade of Chosroes. He started to do that, and he gathered men and tools, and burned it with fire, and poured vinegar on it, but he was unable to do it. And the caliph al-Ma’moon wanted to destroy the Pyramids in Egypt and he gathered workers but he could not do it. <br />
<br />
With regard to the excuse that these statues are part of the legacy of mankind, no attention should be paid to such words. Al-Laat, al-‘Uzaa, Hubal, Manaat and other idols were also a legacy for those who worshipped them among Quraysh and the Arabs. <br />
<br />
This is a legacy, but it is a haraam legacy which should be uprooted. When the command comes from Allaah and His Messenger, then the believer must hasten to obey, and the command of Allaah and His Messenger cannot be rejected on the grounds of this flimsy excuse. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): <br />
<br />
“The only saying of the faithful believers, when they are called to Allaah (His Words, the Qur’aan) and His Messenger, to judge between them, is that they say: “We hear and we obey.” And such are the successful (who will live forever in Paradise)”<br />
<br />
[al-Noor 24:51] <br />
<br />
We ask Allaah to help the Muslims to do that which He loves and which pleased Him. <br />
<br />
And Allaah knows best. <br />

A lot has been written and said about the event. Here I list with a few references that can be accessed via the Internet, composed of a list or articles and videos.<br />

<br />
Consider the following portion of a quranic verse: <br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“if anyone killed a person it would be as if he killed all mankind, and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind.”</blockquote>
It is heavily used by "Uneducated Muslims" as well as apologists (*) and Islamic supremacists use all the time in an attempt to portray Islam as a peaceful and co-existing religion. <br />
<br />
In reality this is just a portion of Quran 5:32. Unfortunately, the whole verse says something very different. And, if looked into the context of its neighboring verses, it sounds really bad. <br />
<br />
As we will see, the real meaning is: <br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“if anyone killed a Muslim it would be as if he killed all mankind, and if anyone saved a Muslim life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind.”</blockquote>
Let us see what a tafsir, exegesis, has to say about it. I am quoting ibn Kathir, whose exegesis is very influential. Ibn Kathir (born c. 1300, died 1373) was a highly influential Sunni scholar of the Shafi'i school during the Mamluk rule of Syria, an expert on tafsir (Quranic exegesis) and faqīh (jurisprudence) as well as a historian. I am quoting <a href="http://www.qtafsir.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=786&Itemid=60">an online version</a> and subsequent pages. <br />
<br />
First, a bit of context. Chapter (Sura) 5 was "revealed" in Medina, when Muhammed was already a War Lord, in the process of eradicating the Jewish tribes (5 in total) which refused to accept him as a prophet. Verses 27-34 retell the story of Cain and Abel, and they come within the context of a warning to the Jews, and is not presented as a universal principle. Thus this passage is explaining what must be done with Jews in particular (and all non-Muslims in general) who reject Muhammad, not dictating lofty moral principles. <br />
<br />
To start <a href="http://www.qtafsir.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=787&Itemid=60">ibn Kathir presents verses 5:32-5:34 together</a>: <br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
32. Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land - it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one - it is as if he had saved mankind entirely. And our messengers had certainly come to them with clear proofs. Then indeed many of them, [even] after that, throughout the land, were transgressors.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
33. Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment,</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
34. Except for those who return [repenting] before you apprehend them. And know that Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.</blockquote>
What ibn Kathir has to say: <br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"(We ordained for the Children of Israel...) meaning, We legislated for them and informed them," </blockquote>
This confirms this is directed to the Jews. <br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"(that if anyone killed a person not in retaliation of murder, or (and) to spread mischief in the land - it would be as if he killed all mankind, and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind.) The Ayah states, whoever kills a soul without justification -- such as in retaliation for murder or for causing mischief on earth -- will be as if he has killed all mankind, because there is no difference between one life and another." </blockquote>
Note the two conditions for permissible killing "retaliation for murder or for causing mischief on earth." What are those?<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"(it would be as if he killed all mankind.) means, "Whoever kills one soul that Allah has forbidden killing, is just like he who kills all mankind.'' Sa`id bin Jubayr said, "He who allows himself to shed the blood of a Muslim, is like he who allows shedding the blood of all people. He who forbids shedding the blood of one Muslim, is like he who forbids shedding the blood of all people.'' In addition, Ibn Jurayj said that Al-A`raj said that Mujahid commented on the Ayah," </blockquote>
Oh, so Allah forbids shedding the blood of a Muslim<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"(it would be as if he killed all mankind,) "He who kills a believing soul intentionally, Allah makes the Fire of Hell his abode, He will become angry with him, and curse him, and has prepared a tremendous punishment for him, equal to if he had killed all people, his punishment will still be the same.'' Ibn Jurayj said that Mujahid said that the Ayah," </blockquote>
He is referring just to a "believing soul" (i.e., a Muslim). <br />
<br />
So, the meaning is very different to what Islamic supremacists, uneducated Muslims or apologists try to imply! There is more.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"(And indeed, there came to them Our Messengers with Al-Bayyinat,) meaning, clear evidences, signs and proofs, even then after that many of them continued to exceed the limits in the land!) This Ayah chastises and criticizes those who commit the prohibitions, after knowing that they are prohibited from indulging in them. The Jews of Al-Madinah, such as Banu Qurayzah, An-Nadir and Qaynuqa`, used to fight along with either Khazraj or Aws, when war would erupt between them during the time of Jahiliyyah. When these wars would end, the Jews would ransom those who were captured and pay the blood money for those who were killed. Allah criticized them for this practice in Surat Al-Baqarah,)" </blockquote>
Here we go, those pesky Jews again. Remember, the verse is directed to the People of Israel. <br />
<br />
<strong>Meaning of Mischief</strong><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
(“Do not make mischief on the earth”), that is disbelief and acts of disobedience.” Abu Ja`far said that Ar-Rabi` bin Anas said that Abu Al-`Aliyah said that Allah’s statement,</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
(And when it is said to them: “Do not make mischief on the earth,”), means, “Do not commit acts of disobedience on the earth. Their mischief is disobeying Allah, because whoever disobeys Allah on the earth, or commands that Allah be disobeyed, he has committed mischief on the earth. Peace on both the earth and in the heavens is ensured (and earned) through obedience (to Allah).” Ar-Rabi` bin Anas and Qatadah said similarly.</blockquote>
This is important. Disobeying Sharia is doing mischief on the earth!<br />
<br />
<strong>The Punishment of those Who Cause Mischief in the Land </strong><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"(The recompense of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and do mischief in the land is only that they shall be killed or crucified or their hands and their feet be cut off on the opposite sides, or be exiled from the land.) `Wage war’ mentioned here means, oppose and contradict, and it includes disbelief, blocking roads and spreading fear in the fairways. Mischief in the land refers to various types of evil."</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"“Was revealed concerning the idolators, those among them who repent before being apprehended, they will still be liable for punishment for the crimes they committed.” The correct opinion is that this Ayah is general in meaning and includes the idolators and all others who commit the types of crimes the Ayah mentioned. </blockquote>
Ibn Kathir then quotes a Tradition of the Prophet, that shows Muhammed torturing people to death: <br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Al-Bukhari and Muslim recorded that Abu Qilabah `Abdullah bin Zayd Al-Jarmi, said that Anas bin Malik said, “Eight people of the `Ukl tribe came to the Messenger of Allah and gave him their pledge to follow Islam. Al-Madinah’s climate did not suit them and they became sick and complained to Allah’s Messenger. So he said," "(Go with our shephard to be treated by the milk and urine of his camels.) So they went as directed, and after they drank from the camels’ milk and urine, they became healthy, and they killed the shepherd and drove away all the camels. The news reached the Prophet and he sent (men) in their pursuit and they were captured. He then ordered that their hands and feet be cut off (and it was done), and their eyes were branded with heated pieces of iron. Next, they were put in the sun until they died.”</blockquote>
The commentary continues with something very interesting, since it refers to “Muslim Land”: <br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
(they shall be killed or crucified or their hands and their feet be cut off on the opposite sides, or be exiled from the land.) `Ali bin Abi Talhah said that Ibn `Abbas said about this Ayah, `He who takes up arms in Muslim land and spreads fear in the fairways and is captured, the Muslim Leader has the choice to either have him killed, crucified or cut off his hands and feet.” </blockquote>
Remember that the State of Israel is located in “Muslim Land” (land conquered militarily by Jihad). <br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
(That is their disgrace in this world,) “Meaning, shame, humiliation, punishment, contempt and torment in this life, before the Hereafter,</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
(and a great torment is theirs in the Hereafter.) in the Fire of Jahannam.”</blockquote>
Finally, “those who repent before they are apprehended” means “for the Muslims who commit this crime and repent before they are apprehended, the punishment of killing, crucifixion and cutting the limbs will be waved.” Those punishments are clearly indicated by “this Ayah [verse] … that it applies to the idolators.”<br />
<br />
(*) A reminder, both US presidents Bush and Obama used this passage outside of its context in an attempt to portray Islam as a "Religion of Peace."<br />
