The Biggest Con-Trick in History
All Muslims believe that the Qur’an is the word of
Allah, His Last Testament. And that Allah is all-
knowing, all-powerful. It follows that Allah could
not have any sort of communication problem, and
so if there is any book that can be clearly
understood by all, of whatever native language,
and without need for special expert “interpreters”,
then it must be the Qur’an.
And in fact the Qur’an does indeed make one
message absolutely clear. Listed below are some
of the more than a hundred of Allah’s verses
which give commands for the conduct of the Holy
Jihad of terror against unbelievers. Nothing in
the Qur’an genuinely forbids that warfare. Via
internet or library you can compare all the main
translation versions and see that there’s not a lot
between them. And can confirm that these
meanings are not being distorted by taking out of
context.
“O Prophet! We have made lawful to thee thy
wives … and those whom thy right (sword) hand
possesses of the captives of war whom Allah has
assigned to thee.” [33:50]. “Married women are
forbidden to you except the captives your sword
hand possesses.” [4:24]
“One-fifth of your spoils of war shall belong to
Allah, the Apostle, the Apostle's kinsfolk, the
orphans, the destitute, and the traveler in need.”
[8:41]
“You shall be called upon to fight a mighty nation,
unless they accept Islam.” [48:16]
“Warfare is prescribed for you” [2:216].
“Who so fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain
or victorious, on him we shall bestow a vast
reward.” [4:74]
“Hast thou not seen those unto whom it was said:
Withhold your hands and establish worship and
pay the poor-due? But when fighting was
prescribed for them, behold! a party of them fear
mankind even as they fear Allah or with greater
fear, and say: Our Lord! why hast Thou ordained
fighting for us? If only Thou wouldst give us
respite for a while. I Say: The comfort of this
world is scant; the Hereafter will be better for him
that wardeth off evil.” [4:77]
"Muhammad is the apostle of Allah. Those who
follow him are merciful to one another, but
ruthless to unbelievers." [48:29]
".... I will instill terror into the hearts of the
unbelievers, Smite ye above their necks and smite
all their finger tips of them." [8:12].
“It is not for any prophet to have captives until he
hath made slaughter in the land.” [8:67]
“Allah promises you will capture much booty.”
[48:20]
“Fight the unbelievers till they pay the Jizya tax
on unbelievers and are subdued.”[9:29]
"Prepare for them whatever force and cavalry ye
are able of gathering, to strike terror, to strike
terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah and
your enemies."[8:60]
“Slay the pagans wherever ye find them”.[9:5]
"…. if they turn renegades, seize them and kill
them wherever ye find them, and take no friends
or helpers from their ranks." [4:89]
"Fight them until there is no dissension, and the
religion is entirely Allah's." [8:39]
Qur’an 59:2-7 is a commentary on the start of the
ethnic cleansing of Arabia by Mohammed (pbuh),
with his military attack against the Jews of Bani-
Nadir. (As with much of the Qur’an its context is
made clear by the related sacred Hadiths which
are detailed accounts of Mohammed’s (pbuh)
sayings.) These Qur’an verses below make clear
that the Jews were acting defensively [see [*], that
Allah approved of their eviction into destitution
and the unexpected [**] innovation of cutting
down their desert food trees [***] to terrorise
them, and Allah granted the Muslims unearned
ownership of the property of the now destitute
Jews [59:6-7].
“He it is who hath caused the Jews who
disbelieved to go forth from their homes unto the
first exile. Ye deemed not that they would go
forth, while [*] they deemed that their strongholds
would protect them from Allah. But Allah [**]
reached them from a place whereof they reckoned
not, and cast terror in their hearts so that they
ruined their houses with their own hands…“[59:2]
“This is because they were opposed to Allah and
his messenger ….” [59:4]
[***] “Whatsoever palm trees ye cut down or left
standing on their roots, it was by Allah’s leave, in
order that he might confound the evil-livers.”
[59:5]
“And that which Allah gives as spoil unto His
messenger from them, ye urged not any horse or
riding-camel for the sake thereof, but Allah giveth
His messenger lordship over whom he will. Allah
is able to do all things.”[59:6]
"The spoils of war taken from the town-dwellers
and assigned by Allah to His apostle shall belong
to Allah, to the Apostle and his kinsfolk, to
orphans, .....” [59:7]
And there’s a lot more like this in the Qur’an.
You likely won’t have encountered any of those
verses before. The only Qur’an verse that is ever
quoted by most Muslims or in the media is “Let
there be no compulsion in religion”. And that verse
supposedly proves that Islam must be the religion of
peace, forbidding all aggressive warmongering.
And yet almost all the main translations render
its meaning as the mere statement that “There is
no compulsion in religion”[2:256]. In other words it
is merely Mohammed (pbuh) noting that many
people did not agree to Islam even when he held his
sword to their necks or poked their evil eyes out.
We shall now turn to the question of whether the
beliefs of this proud warrior faith are actually true
or not. For this purpose, let us start again as we
began this article.
All Muslims believe that the Qur’an is the word of
Allah, His Last Testament. And that Allah is all-
knowing, all-powerful. It follows that Allah could
not have any sort of communication problem, and so
if there is any book that can be clearly understood
by all, of whatever native language, and without
need for special expert “interpreters”, then it must
be the Qur’an.
It follows that everyone should be able to agree on
what is the meaning of this book by the most
supreme communicator. And yet in reality there are
the most profound discrepancies of meaning
attributed to the Qur’an. There are Imams, Sheiks
and many other Muslims who are convinced that
Islam really is the religion of peace. And yet there
are also many high-ranking Muslims in many
countries who believe the Qur’an commands them to
commit a war of terror against non-Muslims (as per
the short film Fitna). And when you show to
Muslims the quotations above and below here, most
will assure you that you are not qualified to
understand this definitive message from this all-
powerful communicator. They will say that you
need to not only know Arabic but also have profound
special expertise in Qur’anic interpretation, because
Allah’s book is supposedly too difficult for mere you
and me to understand, and Allah changed his mind
and “abrogated” [2:106] all those aggressive verses
(which are actually the later, Madinan, ones).
If all this doesn’t seem to make sense to you, that
may be because it does not. It may be because the
Qur’an is in reality not the word of Allah but is
instead the self-serving declarations of a military
politician whose name you already know. Most of
the many who are leaving Islam do so because when
they study the Qur’an they find it fails to live up to
the assumptions they had had about it.
Some Muslims will reply that in order for people
to have free will they have to be able to choose to
misunderstand the Qur’an. But that is a well-
known reasoning fallacy called false dichotomy. It
is perfectly possible for Allah to make his message
absolulely clear and yet at the same time for
people to have free will about just about
everything that matters.
And anyway, quite why would anyone want to
misunderstand the All-Powerful All-Knowing Allah?
Especially given the horrors they would face in place
of the wonderful rewards promised for faithfully
following Islam.
Anyway, here are some more excerpts from Allah’s
perfect communication which we presumably are
choosing to misunderstand (for reasons Allah only
knows why).
“Do they not ponder on the Qur'an? Had it been
from other than Allah, they would surely have
found therein much discrepancy.” [4:82].
“Every being that is in the heavens and on earth:
all are devoutly obedient to Him.” [30:26] … and
the Qur’an also makes hundreds of references to
those who are not obedient [2:11-20, 3:10-12, etc
etc] and the horrors that await them.
Allah created the heavens and the earth in six
days [7:54, 10:3, 11:7, 25:59], and Allah created
the heavens and the earth in eight days [41:9-12].
Allah created man from a blood clot [96:1-2], from
water [25:54], from clay [15:26], from dust [30:20],
from nothing [3:47].
Qur’an 4:11-12 and 4:176 state the Qur'anic
inheritance law. When a man dies, and is leaving
behind three daughters, his two parents and his
wife, they will receive the respective shares of 2/3
for the three daughters together, 1/3 for the
parents together [both according to verse 4:11]
and 1/8 for the wife [4:12] which adds up to more
than the available estate. A second example: A
man leaves only his mother, his wife and two
sisters, then they receive 1/3 [mother, 4:11], 1/4
[wife, 4:12] and 2/3 [the two sisters, 4:176], which
again adds up to more than the available
property.
It seems that there are only three sorts of Muslim:
the majority who don’t know what the Qur’an says;
those who are frightened into just pretending; and
those who really do think that 1+0 = 1.25.
