I would like to have an entire website
devoted to exposing Islam for what it really is but for now, it gets
a page on which I will provide a brief explanation and also refer
you to the predominate websites out there which go into more detail.
Islam is the greatest threat to
Christianity, as well as humanity as a whole. It's poisonous beliefs
have spread across the world, resulting in more Muslims than
Christians (Just because you believe in Jesus Christ doesn't make
you a Christian). I have been a Christian since 1988 and studied
Islam (as well as the other major religions) shortly after that. I
met several Muslims at college (Khalid, Omar, Faisal...), became
their friend, and even went with them to their mosque, all while I
was sharing Christ with them and bringing them to church. However, I
did not study Islam in greater detail until later, much to my
regret. 9-11 and the events surrounding it were the final wake-up
call that prompted me to learn all I could about Islam and how Islam
will play out in the last days. I was shocked at what I found,
prompting me to devote myself to reaching out to Muslims in love
(and Christians with the facts). I believe much of the Christian
church is experiencing "cold
love" for our Muslim brothers and sisters and that needs
to end. Christ made it very clear how to address them... with the Gospel
in love. We are also very ignorant of it's roots and beliefs, who
Mohammad was, and what the
Islamic writings say.
"Islam provides only one prime source of information
on Muhammad and the formation of Islam written within two centuries
of the time he lived and it was conceived. Ishaq’s Sira, or
Biography, stands alone - a singular and tenuous thread connecting
us to a very troubled man and time. Over the next two hundred years,
other Hadith Collections were compiled by the likes of Tabari,
Bukhari, and Muslim. Their assemblages of oral reports, or
Traditions, were said to have been inspired by Allah. They purport
to convey Muhammad’s words and example. They also explain the Qur'an
- a book so deficient in context and chronology, it can only be
understood when seen through the eyes of the Sunnah writers... Even
a cursory reading of the Qur'an is sufficient to prove that it is a
fraud. There is no way the creator of the universe wrote a book
devoid of context, without chronology or intelligent transitions.
Such a creative spirit wouldn’t need to plagiarize. He would know
history and science and thus wouldn’t have made such a fool of
himself. The God who created man wouldn’t deceive him or lead him to
hell as Allah does. Nor would he order men to terrorize, mutilate,
rob, enslave, and slaughter the followers of other Scriptures he
claims he revealed, wiping them out to the last. One doesn’t need a
scholastic review of the Qur'anic text to disprove its veracity. It
destroys itself quite nicely."
"Most of the Qur'an was lifted from the Torah and Talmud. (Apparently God
ran out of good material when he finished the Bible.) Muhammad aside, there
are only four non-Biblical characters in the Qur'an. Two represent mythical
leaders of mythical lands. The third was Muhammad’s biggest critic, his
uncle Abu. The fourth was Alexander the Great - a Muslim prophet, according
to Allah.
While all the other names are the same -
Adam, Noah, Satan, Gabriel, Abraham, Isaac, Ishmael, Jacob, Joshua, Lot,
Moses, Aaron, Jonah, David, Solomon, Mary, and Jesus - their stories are
not. The historical events surrounding these lives so meticulously detailed
by the Jewish scribes were purposefully convoluted - ripped out of context
and time - to justify Muhammad’s thinly disguised agenda. I share this now
so you might know that without the inclusion of Bible characters and
stories, the Qur'an and Hadith would be very thin on spirituality. We would
be left with little more than temper tantrums, threats, and terror. No one
would confuse it for a religion.
As for the gross variance between the Bible
and Qur'an, the Ar-Rahman/Allah/Muhammad team claimed that the forty
literate Jews who lived and witnessed these events, performed the miracles,
and recorded the prophecies, got them wrong; well, except for the
overwhelming number of passages they copied. Then Muhammad claimed that he,
an illiterate Arab, an enemy of the Jews living 900 miles distant and six to
twenty-six centuries after the fact, revealed the "truthful" account, having
corrected their deceptions. In an ignorant world, it must have sounded
plausible." -Craig Winn
What's more disturbing is the man they revere,
Mohammad. "Following his first Qur'anic revelation, Muhammad claimed
to have been demon possessed. By his own admission, he tried to
commit suicide. Those who knew him best, his family and neighbors,
said that he had gone mad. "He is a
demon-possessed sorcerer fabricating scripture," they said,
accusing him of plagiarism and of having purely selfish motives.
They mocked his prophetic claims, ridiculed his Qur'an, and said
that his preposterous notion of turning many pagan idols into the
one God was insane. As a result of this verbal abuse, all chronicled
in the Qur'an, Muhammad pledged to slaughter his kin... He used
Qur'anic scripture to justify some of the most horrific behavior
imaginable: pedophilia, incest, rape, torture, assassinations,
thievery, mass murder, and terror - all in an unbridled orgy of sex,
power, and money... When he was fifty, Muhammad married a
six-year-old child. Then he stole his son’s wife. After forcing
young girls to watch his men execute their fathers, Muhammad raped
them. He tortured his victims to make sure no booty escaped his
grasp. He committed mass murder, slaughtering Jews in genocidal
rage. In ten years, he ordered a score of assassinations and
conducted seventy-five terrorist raids. He used the sword to force
Arabs into submission and used the slave trade to finance Islam. He
was more interested in collecting girls and taxes than anything
else. He ruled through fear. And his god condoned it all." - Craig
