Let The Bible Speak 
By Abdul Rahman Dimashkiah
Introduction
In the past, when so many attacks were launched against Islam under an open andunabashed crusader flag, various popes used to encourage some fanatics to write bookletscontaining lies against Islam and against the Prophet of Islam, distorting his message andreviling his religion.
 
After the church withdrew from this activity, the number of these attacks was obviouslyreduced. Yet they did not stop altogether. They took another form under a different banner,the pretext of freedom of expression. Only the approach has changed.
 
An apostate and heretic called Salman Rushdi wrote a book in which he reviled Islam,describing verses of the Quran as satanic and revealed by the Devil. He abused the Prophetof Islam, his companions and his wives, describing the latter as adulteresses.
 
Britain, defender of freedom rushed headlong to support and defend this man using as apretext, the necessity of freedom of expression, which is in this case, the freedom of revileand curse. Even in the west no one has a right to shout fire in a crowded hall and escapethe punishment for causing a possibly fatal panic.
 
Yet one month before the publication of Rushdi's book, the partisans of free speech violatedfreedom of expression when they banned the book, SPY CATCHER by Peter Wright. Thisinconsistency makes it clear that their freedom is to do as they desire, not as people of other religions earnestly request.
 
And I wonder if we were to complain to the British Judges against a person who falselyaccused me of being adulterer, what then their judgment will be?!! Would they defend himand justify his right to slander?
 
And if not, why do they use a deviant standard of justice concerning Rushdi's book whichreviled those who are more beloved to us than our fathers, sisters, wives and daughters?
 
It seems to me that perhaps the one or two centuries of peaceful coexistence has not madeBritish neo-crusaders forger their ancient hatred of Islam.
 
The book of Salman Rushdi reviled many more beside Islam and the Prophet.
 
•
On (page 461), he states, "nigger eats white man's [shit]".
 
•
On (page 529), he mocked the black brethren by saying "black shit is bad".
 
•
On (page 80) is found: ["the sister fucking British-shits"].
 
•
The word [Fucking] used in his book fifty-two (52) times. It describes MargaretThatcher as a [Bitch], he also mocks her name by using the word [Toicher] instead of her name Thatcher. He was also conspiring to have one night of love with the Queenof England.
 
 
Tell me now: who do you think inspired Salman Rushdi to use these despicable and meanwords but Satan ? It is the same Satan who inspired him to revile the book of the mostmerciful one, and describing parts of it as Satanic verses.
 
Isn't amazing that despite all of these mean and shameful words in his book, he receives aliterary award today as the best among the play stage among writers and novelists as it wasrecently announced in the B.B.C broadcasting.
 
My argument is not really against a man who is happy being used by the Devil. He and hislow words are so mean that they are not worthy of rebuttal. Those who deserve counteringare those who supported him, hid him and used his book including the devil himself.
 
Is freedom so holy to them that they scaled the feeling of 1,000,000,000 Muslimsworldwide? For what reason?
 
If the author of the book is really sincere enough, and if he had logically concluded in hisresearch or analyses that the Quran was not valid, that therefore it might have beenrevealed by Satan, we would then have appreciated the value of freedom of concepts in thesight of the British who sacrificed much to keep their promise to protect freedom.
 
But when they protect such a base and vulgar person whose manner of expression is as lowand mean as he is, then I would say that makes it a mockery of freedom. It is anothermisuse of the slogan freedom, with a profound awareness that this is not the only time thatthe word, "FREEDOM", has been abused.
 
By this book, I intend to put their freedom to a test. Will they protect me and my book,allow its publication and distribution, or will they try to ban it.
 
I have not, however, used here the same method or approach as Salman Rushdi did.Instead, I have quoted verses of the Bible providing complete references. This is themethod employed by no less a scripture than the Holy Quran, itself:
 
"O YOU WHO BELIEVE, STAND OUT FIRMLY FOR ALLAH, AS WITNESSES TO FAIR DEALING,AND LET NOT THE HATRED OF OTHERS TO YOU MAKE YOU SWERVE TO WRONG ANDDEPART FROM JUSTICE. BE JUST! THAT IS NEXT TO PIETY. AND FEAR ALLAH. FOR ALLAH ISWELL-ACQUAINTED WITH ALL THAT YOU DO". [Holy Quran 5:8]
 
The Bible itself testifies that this method is fair and just enough, We find that in Luke: "Byyour own mouth I condemn you". [19:22]
 
And in Mathew: "Judge not, that you be not judged, for with what judgement you judge,you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again.Why behold you see the mote that is in your brother's eye, but consider not the beam thatis in your own eye?" [7:1]
 
This booklet is a brief of my big research about the Bible after I have passed through all of itand collected its verses in the same method that you see in this book, which makes it muchbeneficial for those who are interested in more investigations about the Bible. I hope I willbe able to translate it as soon as possible.
 
 
Before I close my preface, I would remind the reader that we Muslims have an advantageover Christianity, namely that we bear witness that we believe in the books revealed to bothMOSES and JESUS, the prophets of the Jews, except for those Biblical accretions written bythe hand of man, That the are accretions, my book is going to prove to you by theircollection in one place.
 
It is not meant as an insult to the Bible, because I select verses and leave them as they are,without interfering comment beside the text, except for some essential and importantexplanations as the foot-notes.
 
It rather intend to defend my God, because my God and yours does not speak in the waythat you will see in this booklet. A final purpose of this book is to assist you in distinguishingGod's verses from satanic verses.
 
As to other Christians who protested against Salman's book I extend my gratefullness andapology, wishing that they appreciate the reaction of one whom his book was unjustlyabused.
 
While reading my pages, I would suggest that you read it intellectually, I appeal to you thatyou be yourself a fair judge for this case, and that you be on the side of none but the truth.
 
Peace to all!...
