“The Islamic State, which now controls land greater than the land mass of
Great Britain & is taking in over $1 million a day from its captured oil
wells, says that they are going to flood the west with immigrants & they
boast that they will have over 20,000 jihadi fighters mixed in with the
immigrants so they can infiltrate the west with more terror attacks" came
from Islamic expert Robert Spencer's video"Robert Spencer on ISIS: A

//www.jihadwatch.org/2015/09/lebanese-education-minister-warns-20000-islamic-state-jihadis-have-infiltrated-syrian-refugee-camps;
the ISIS magazine "Dabiq" (see
//www.clarionproject.org/news/islamic-state-isis-isil-propaganda-magazine-dabiq#)
claimed that they would infiltrate the West with 20,000 jihadi fighters by
creating a refugee flood of Muslims trying to enter western countries not
only to spread Islam but to spread terror (to see all copies of the ISIS
magazine "Dabiq" go to the site "Institue for Jihadi Research" at
//theinstituteforjihadiresearch.org/category/ad-dawlat-al-islaameeyah/dabiq-magazine/magazine-issues/).
ISIS, the self-proclaimed Islamic state that's attempting to establish a
caliphate across large areas of Iraq and Syria, publishes a glossy
English-language propaganda magazine called Dabiq, complete with slick
graphics and high-quality photos. Dabiq is one of the group's recruitment
tools, coupled with its strong social media presence. The magazine, whose
name references the location of Islam's mythical Armageddon (a town in
northern Syria), bills itself as an "informative" source for the activities
of ISIS fighters, while preaching on holy topics and issuing decrees. Its
producers claim that Allah approves the message: ISIS has "not a mustard
seed of doubt regarding this."
"If you can kill a disbelieving American or European...or an Australian or
a Canadian...then rely upon Allah, and kill him in any manner." For more
see Robert Spencer's video ""Robert Spencer on Why ISIS is Islamic" at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dw9lG83lr0s (this video also exposes the
fact that Barack Hussein Obama was raised as a Muslim although now Obama
may be more of a secular Marxist with very pro Islam leanings because of
his own family history).
In any case, the fourth issue of Dabiq justifies all sorts of terrible
things ISIS and its fighters may do in the name of Allah. Here are 10 of
the worst examples, with quotations:
1. Sack other people's cities
"We will come to your homeland by Allah’s permission."
"We will conquer your Rome."
"We will not rest from our jihād until we are under the olive trees of
Rome, after we destroy the filthy house called the White House."
2. Condemn other people's beliefs
"We will…break your crosses."
"And those who have disbelieved—unto Hell they will be gathered."
(Although, to be fair, some Christians believe the same thing.)
"You are the best people for people. You bring them with chains around
their necks, until they enter Islam."
3. Enslave people, in some cases to save ISIS's men from temptation
"We will…enslave your women, by the permission of Allah, the Exalted. This
is His promise to us…"
"Our children and grandchildren…will sell your sons as slaves at the slave
market."
"The desertion of slavery had led to an increase in fāhishah [adultery,
fornication], because the shar'ī alternative to marriage is not available,
so a man who cannot afford marriage to a free woman finds himself
surrounded by temptation towards sin."
4. Threaten and kill people
"You will not feel secure even in your bedrooms."
"You will pay the price when your sons are sent to wage war against us, and
they return to you as disabled amputees, or inside coffins, or mentally
ill."
"You must strike the soldiers, patrons, and troops of the tawāghīt
[unbelievers]. Strike their police, security, and intelligence members, as
well as their treacherous agents. Destroy their beds. Embitter their lives
for them and busy them with themselves. If you can kill a disbelieving
American or European—especially the spiteful and filthy French—or an
Australian, or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever from the disbelievers
waging war, including the citizens of the countries that entered into a
coalition against the Islamic State, then rely upon Allah, and kill him in
any manner or way however it may be."
5. Turn women and children into sex slaves and concubines—those you don't
kill
Yazidi "women could be enslaved unlike female apostates who the majority of
the fuqahā’ [jurists] say cannot be enslaved and can only be given an
ultimatum to repent or face the sword. After capture, the Yazidi women and
children were then divided according to the Sharī'ah amongst the fighters
of the Islamic State who participated in the Sinjar operations, after one
fifth of the slaves were transferred to the Islamic State's authority to be
divided as khums [taxes]."
“One should remember that enslaving the families of the kuffār
[unbelievers] and taking their women as concubines is a firmly established
aspect of the Sharī'ah that if one were to deny or mock, he would be
denying or mocking the verses of the Qur'ān and the narrations of the
Prophet.”
6. Plunder
"His provision becomes what Allah has given him of spoils from the property
of His enemy," because "wealth" was only sent to earth to create prayer and
"people [with] obedience to Allah are more deserving of wealth."
"Send them very much, for it will end up as war booty in our hands by
Allah's permission. You will spend it, then it will be a source of regret
for you, then you will be defeated. Look at your armored vehicles,
machinery, weaponry, and equipment. It is in our hands."
Allah "legalized war booty" for Muhammad and his ummah [nation]. "War booty
is more lawful than other income for a number of reasons."
7. Murder civilians
[Americans]—"die in your rage."
"Kill the disbeliever whether he is civilian or military, for they have the
same ruling."
"We did not come as farmers, rather we came to kill the farmers and eat
their crops."
8. Ethnically cleanse
"It has become necessary for a trial to come, expel the filth, and purify
the ranks."
9. Use suicide as a weapon
[Muslims] "are a people who through the ages have not known defeat. The
outcome of their battles is concluded before they begin. Being
killed—according to their account—is a victory. This is where the secret
lies. You fight a people who can never be defeated."
10. Purport to help people even as you commit horrible atrocities (this
follows the official Islamic doctrine of intentional deception for the
cause of Allah & the advancement of Islam called Taqiyya (see the video
"What Is Taqiyya?" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6F4wBeshTsw).
Keep in mind that former Muslim from Iran Shahram Hadian who is now a
Christian pastor (see his his videos "Answering Islam: The Influence of
Islam in American Politics | Shahram Hadian" at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogBKyEGHIlI or
//www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=117151913477 & "1. Answering
Islam: True Face of Islam | Shahram Hadian" at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASUnosseuEI or
//www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=117151552120) says that based
on a Georgetown University study & survey of actual Muslims after the
9/11/2001 attack (see "The True Goal of Islam | Interview with Shahram
Hadian" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TS5ICg55qp8, specically the 22:49
to 28:18 time mark of this video) between 30% to 35% of all Muslims
actually take Islam seriously & are more strict in their interpretations of
the Islamic Qur'an & the hadiths which is similar to the many Jihadi groups
operating in the world like the Islamic State, Hamas, al-Qaeda, Boco Haram
& others who try to spread Islam the way Muhammad did historically. On the
other hand 65% to 70% of all so-called Muslims today would be classified
as" hypocrites" under Islamic law and are only lukewarm to agnostic,
secular or atheistic while they claim to be Muslims. Dr. James White (
www.AOMin.org) has a fascinating video showing the contrast between these
two groups called "Two Contrasting Views of Islam, and Then a Little on
CRISPR (Jumbo Edition)" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7zwdKpB9YE.
Particularly notice the type of Muslim video representing the 65% to 70%
Muslims at the 18:29 time mark of this video with the Muslim video put out
by ISIS which represents the historic & literalistic interpretation of
Islam held by the estimated 30% to 35% of Muslims at the 49:55 time mark.

Ask a Muslim: have you ever wondered why many people who want to follow the
truth, believe they cannot, in good conscience, become Muslims?
This list not intended give all the support people have for every reason.
This simply, in a respectful tone, to briefly describe some of the reasons,
any single one of which, if true, would be sufficient to disqualify Islam.
The references explain each reason.
Islam Denies Words of Previous Prophets
1. Muslims reject words of previous prophets; the claim they are corrupted.
Yet Sura 5:46-48 says Jesus confirmed the law and the gospel. The Dead Sea
Scrolls have the Old Testament from the Jesus’ time.
www.MuslimHope.com/DeadSeaScrolls.htm
If Allah were not powerful to preserve the law of Moses and the gospel of
Jesus, Allah would not be powerful enough to preserve the message of the
Qur’an. If Allah could preserve the message of the Qur’an, He could
preserve His Word before then too.
www.MuslimHope.com/WhatEarlyChristiansTaughtSummaryGrid.htm
2. Islam rejects prophets teaching that God is a Father. This is affirmed
by Jews, Christians, and frequently in the Old and New Testaments.
www.MuslimHope.com/FatherhoodOfGod.htm
While God is not a Father in a sexual sense, He is both an adopted Father
to believers, and He specially begot Jesus before time began. God is
clearly a Father in the copies of scripture we have at the time of Jesus.
www.MuslimHope.com/DeadSeaScrolls.htm
3. Jesus taught that He is the Son of God and accepted Worship as God. The
Qur’an rejects this.
www.MuslimHope.com/JesusIsGod.htm. Even early pagan writers acknowledge
this is what was taught.
4. Allah deceives – even all the followers of Christ. Yet the Bible says
God does not lie (Num 23:19; 1 Sam 15:24) In the Qur’an Allah is the
greatest of schemers, fooling all His early followers into thinking Jesus
was crucified and rose from the dead.
www.MuslimHope.com/DeceptionInIslam.htm
Some Errors in the Qur’an
5. Zul Qarnain: the sun does not set in a muddy spring
www.MuslimHope.com/ZulQarnain.htm
www.MuslimHope.com/AstronomyAndTheQuran.htm
Muslim historians show that this idea in Sura 18:85-86, that the sun really
goes down into a muddy spring at night, was literally believed, and misled
Muslims until recently.
6. There was no mosque in Jerusalem in Mohammed’s alleged Night Journey
(Sura 17:1) www.MuslimHope.com/NightJourney.htm
The site in Jerusalem of the destroyed Jewish temple, and the future
al-Aqsa mosque, was a garbage dump in Mohammed’s time, as documented by
Muslims. Mohammed claimed to visit a building that did not exist.
Non-Muslims would question why Palestinians felt the al-Aqsa Martyrs
Brigade needed to exist.
Changes in the Qur’an
7. Major rewrite: Daughters of Allah in Sura 53
www.MuslimHope.com/DaughtersOfAllah.htm
Four early and seven later Muslim biographers document that Sura 53
originally said, "Have ye seen [the pagan goddesses] Lat, and ‘Uzza, And
another, the third, Manat? These are the exalted cranes (intermediaries)
Whose intercession is to be hoped for." The hadiths and Qur’an also admit
that when Revelations came, Satan also sent counterfeit "whisperings"
8. Variants: Mohammed’s secretaries, ‘Ubai bin Ka’b and others had fewer or
more suras. It is a falsehood when some Muslims say the Qur’an has no
variants. www.MuslimHope.com/QuranVariants.htm
While some Qur’anic verses were left in but abrogated (i.e. not to be
followed after a brief time), the hadiths and Muslim historians document
verses and even suras silently removed. The newly discovered early
San’a/Yemeni Qur’an also showed many variants.
Violence of Mohammed and Early Muslims
9. Mohammed ordered torture at least twice
www.MuslimHope.com/WarInIslam.htm
Kinanah bin al-Rabi’ was slowly burned because he did not want to tell
where his treasure was. The other case was on a tribe that killed people
Mohammed sent to tell them to drink camel urine for their ailments.
10. Mohammed ordered assassinations www.MuslimHope.com/Assassinations.htm
10a. Ka’b bin Ashraf maligned Allah and his messenger [i.e. Mohammed]. Ka’b
bin Ashraf trusted the assassin, but Mohammed specifically allowed the
assassin to say anything and betray him.
10b. Abu Rafi (probably for military reasons)
10c. Attempted of Abu Sufyan (Meccan general)
10d. al-Aswad (He claimed he was a prophet too, so Mohammed used violence
to silence him.)
10e. Khalid bin Sufyan (Mohammed heard he was gathering a force)
10f. Yusar bin Rizam (Muslims killed him when they sensed he had second
thoughts about becoming a Muslim, but Mohammed did not order this)
11. Mohammed spread Islam by the sword: Mohammed ordered surprise attacks
on unsuspecting people. If Islam means "peace", why in a ten-year period
were there about 82 battles? www.MuslimHope.com/WarInIslam.htm
www.MuslimHope.com/BanuMustaliq.htm
Islamic View of Women and Marriage
12. Women your right hands possess. Besides up to four wives, a Muslim man
can have unlimited slave girls and captives for sex, even if they are
unwilling. www.MuslimHope.com/WomenInIslam.htm
www.MuslimHope.com/RightHand.htm
13. Women are less than men: not pray during their time of month, less
intelligent, more in Hell. www.MuslimHope.com/WomenInIslam.htm
Muslim scholar al-Ghazali (1058-1111 A.D.) listed 18 ways women are
inferior to men. They include:
A woman’s court testimony counts as half a man’s
Men have multiple wives; women only one husband
Woman cannot divorce so easily like men
The wife must stay secluded at home
A woman must keep her head covered
Women cannot leave the house except with a near relative
A woman cannot be a ruler or judge
14. Mustahil and Mu’tah – they sound disgusting
After an irrevocable divorce, a woman must consummate a marriage with
someone else before she can remarry the man. A mustahil is a man paid to
perform this service. Mu’tah is temporary marriage, so that a man can marry
a woman for a few hours, or longer, but it is not called prostitution.
Sunnis say Mohammed permitted this for a period of time only, but Shi’ites
say it is valid today, and this is practiced in Iran and other places.
www.MuslimHope.com/WomenInIslam.htm
15. Why did Mohammed consummate his marriage with a 8 to 9 year old girl?
www.MuslimHope.com/AishaNine.htm
This has caused untold grief and physical problems of perforated uteruses
for young Muslim girls in Africa and elsewhere.
The Unusual Character of Mohammed
16. Why did he need so many wives?
www.MuslimHope.com/WhyDidMohammedGetSoManyWives.htm
His adopted son was commanded to divorce his wife Zainab bint Jahsh so that
Mohammed could marry her. Other wives, Safiya and Juwairiyya bint Harith,
were widows because Mohammed had their husbands killed right before. Some
women declined Mohammed’s marriage proposals, and Muslim historians also
document that Mohammed had some divorces too. Mohammed had concubines too.
17. Bewitched: How could a true prophet of God be under an evil spell?
www.MuslimHope.com/Bewitched.htm
This is documented in at least 11 places in the hadiths, which define the
(Sharia) Law of Sunni Islam.
18. Odd Superstitions: The hadiths record that Mohammed taught the evil eye
is a fact, after the call of nature must use an odd number of stones, clean
your nose an odd number of times, recite prayers an odd number of times,
apply collyridium or eyes an odd number of times. Put on your right sandal
first and take off your left sandal first. Eat with your right hand because
Satan eats with his left. www.MuslimHope.com/IslamAndScience.htm
www.MuslimHope.com/IslamAndMedicine.htm
19. Torment of the grave was something that terrified Mohammed himself.
This does not mean time in Hell, but in the actually grave site itself.
Mohammed was fearful of this for others, his Muslim followers, and
specifically for himself. www.MuslimHope.com/TormentOfTheGrave.htm

at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE04A1D0DFE95B95E. Don't depend
on a last second deathbed conversion to save you from the wrath of a holy
God. Come to the Biblical Jesus Christ today for salvation in repentance &
faith (2 Corinthians 6:2, "behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is
the day of salvation; Acts 16:31, "And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ, and thou shalt be saved;" Mark 1:15, "The time is fulfilled, and
the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel;" 1
Corinthians 15:1-4, "Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which
I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, 2 by
which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to
you—unless you believed in vain. 3 For I delivered to you first of all that
which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the
Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day
according to the Scriptures," Revelation 1:8, Jesus is the "Alpha and
Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which
was, and which is to come, the Almighty.", Revelation 1:18, Jesus says "I
am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore,
Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death." Becoming a true Christian is
not easy therefore count the cost. Becoming a true Christian is not saying
a quick prayer & thinking you're okay. Becoming a true Christian is not
getting water baptized as a baby or as an adult (see our video "IS WATER
BAPTISM NECESSARY TO ESCAPE HELL & BE SAVED & ARE YOU "BORN AGAIN" (JOHN
3:3-8) BY IT?" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYJtMV9qrWg. You must be
supernaturally "born again" by a sovereign act of God through the power of
the Holy Spirit (John 1:12-13, 3:3-8; Titus 3:5-7; John 6:37, 39, 44, 63,
65; Ephesians 3:16-21; Romans 8:1-17; 1 Corinthians 2:10-16; Luke 14:26-35,
“If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and
children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My
disciple. 27 And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot
be My disciple. 28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not
sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it—
29 lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all
who see it begin to mock him, 30 saying, ‘This man began to build and was
not able to finish’? 31 Or what king, going to make war against another
king, does not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten
thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? 32 Or
else, while the other is still a great way off, he sends a delegation and
asks conditions of peace. 33 So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake
all that he has cannot be My disciple.34 “Salt is good; but if the salt has
lost its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? 35 It is neither fit for the
land nor for the dunghill, but men throw it out. He who has ears to hear,
let him hear!” Luke 6:46, Jesus said, "And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and
do not the things which I say?" Becoming a true Christian will change your
life forever in this life & the next (2 Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore, if
anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away;
behold, all things have become new."). Beg God to save you since you cannot
get into heaven by your own righteousness & good works (Ephesians 2:8-10,
"8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of
yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should
boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good
works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them."). Keep
begging God for salvation through Jesus Christ until the day comes that He
grants your request (Acts 13:48, "Now when the Gentiles heard this, they
were glad and glorified the word of the Lord. And as many as had been
appointed to eternal life believed." & 2 Timothy 2:25-26, "24 And a servant
of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient,
25 in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will
grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth, 26 and that they
may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been
taken captive by him to do his will."). When you are supernaturally
regenerated by the Holy Spirit you will know it & suddenly have the power
to repent of your evil ways & for the first time you will actually love God
more than your own life knowing that nothing in creation is more important
than God alone. You will then spend the rest of eternity loving, serving &
praising God for He is worthy. John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, “I am the
way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through
Me." See our video "IS JESUS GOD ALMIGHTY IN THE FLESH MEANING THE SECOND
PERSON OF THE TRINITY OR IS HE SOMETHING ELSE?" at

Interestingly, when a Muslim says that the Bible has been corrupted, he's
contradicting his own revelations. While Muslims today often claim that the
Bible has been corrupted, the Qur'an says something completely different.
In the Qur'an, Allah affirms the inspiration (3:3-4), preservation (6:114-115;
10:94; 18:27) and authority (5:47; 5:68) of the Christian scriptures. See

Muhammed's "Satanic Verses." Muslims often are very quick to tell others
that God allowed the Bible to be corrupted. What they are implying is that
the Qur'an today is the reliable word of God while the Bible is not. The
Bible has many minor textual variants, but the evidence of any doctrinal
changes in negligible. The Qur'an has more evidence of corruption in light
of Ubai, abrogated verses, 'Uthman, and other Qur'anic problems. However,
the most drastic Qur'anic doctrinal variation, brought up by Muslims
themselves, is "the daughters of Allah". The Christian web site
//answering-islam.org/Responses/Saifullah/sverses.htm says, "One of
the most embarrassing events in Muhammad's life occurred when Satan put his
words in Muhammad's mouth. Muhammad spoke Satan's words as the word of God.
This event is documented by several early Muslim scholars and referenced in
the Hadith and Qur'an." Embarrassed Muslims later changed the Quranic
verses to something else.
This topic is one of the most controversial in Islam. Satan caused Muhammad
to recite his words as God's words."
What Did the Qur'an Originally Say?
The Star Sura (Sura 53) verses 19-20 say, "Have ye seen Lat, and 'Uzza, And
another, the third (goddess), Manat?"
Allah was prominent in Pre-Islamic Arabia, as a god with three daughters:
al-Lat, al-Uzza, and Manat. (Note that al- means "the".)
The four early biographers of Mohammed wrote that they verses originally
were followed by:
"These are the exalted cranes (intermediaries) Whose intercession is to be
hoped for."
Interpretation: Allah's daughters were considered heavenly beings of
intercessors. High altitude Numidian cranes were a metaphor for them. An
alternate reading for "is to be hoped for" (turtaja) is "is accepted with
approval" (turtada). (From Alfred Guillaume's translation of Ibn Ishaq's
The Life of Mohammed p.166.
Al-Wahidi/Wakidi (died 207/823 A.D.) wrote Asbab al-Nozul. "On a certain
day, the chief men of Mecca, assembled in a group beside the Kaaba,
discussed as was their wont the affairs of the city; when Mahomet appeared
and, seating himself by them in a friendly manner, began to recite in their
hearing the 53 Sura.... 'And see ye not Lat and Ozza, and Manat the third
besides?' When he had reached this verse, the devil suggested an expression
of the thoughts which for many a day had possessed his soul; and put in to
his mouth words of reconciliation and compromise, the revelation of which
he had been longing for from God, namely; 'These are the exalted Females,
and verily their intercession is to be hoped for.' The Coreish were
surprised and delighted with this acknowledgement of their deities; and as
Mahomet wound up the Sura with the closing words 'Wherefore bow down before
God, and serve him' the whole assembly prostrated themselves with one
accord on the ground and worshipped. ... In the evening Gabriel visited
him; and the prophet recited the Sura unto him. And Gabriel said, 'What is
this that thou has done? Thou has repeated before the people words that I
never gave unto thee'. So Mahomet grieved sore, ..."
Ibn Jarir al-Tabari (died 923 A.D.) was a Shafi'ite Sunni who wrote a
38-volume Islamic History of the world until 915 A.D. He has been titled
"the sheikh of commentators". He writes in volume 6 p.108-110, "When the
messenger of God saw how his tribe turned their backs on him and was
grieved to see them shunning the message he had brought to them from God,
he longed in his soul that something would come to him from God which would
reconcile him with his tribe.... And when he came to the words: 'Have you
thought upon al-Lat and al-Uzza and Manat, the third, the other?' Satan
cast on his tongue, because of his inner debates and what he desired to
bring to his people, the words: 'These are the high flying cranes; verily
their intercession is accepted with approval [alternately: to be desired or
hoped for].' When the Quraysh heard this, they rejoiced and were happy and
delighted at the way in which he spoke of their gods, and they listened to
him, while the Muslims, having complete trust in their prophet in respect
of the message which he brought from god, did not suspect him of error,
illusion, or mistake. ... Then [later] Gabriel came to the Messenger of God
and said, 'Mohammed, what have you done? You have recited to the people
that which I did not bring to you from God, ...'"
Jesus said, "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's
clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves." Matthew 7:15

We have a website, //www.muslimhope.com/, which is meant to help
Christians share their Christian faith with Muslims around the world thus
we have it set up for several different languages. Our website covers:
Arabic, Indonesian, Malaysian, Punjabi, Swahili, Turkish, & Urdu. For
example, if a person's native language is Arabic who the Christian is
dealing with they can go to that language on our website & once there click
on the English topics to the left where this topic then will be translated
into Arabic which can then be shared with Arabic speakers. The same applies
for any of these other languages. For example, here's the link to our Urdu
section at //www.muslimhope.com/Urdu/index.htm. See also our playlist
"Dealing with Islam, Muslims: Sunni, Shi'ite, Alawites, Sufis" with 67
videos & counting at
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1C7F68B548009FDD. "Google
Translate" on the internet also affords Christians the opportunity to
translate their own language into another language as well as taking
written information from various Christian websites dealing with Islam (see
our link to them at //www.muslimhope.com/LinksOnIslam.htm) &
translating valuable information from them into another language for
sharing with Muslims. Matthew 28:19-20, "Go ye therefore, and teach all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of
the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have
commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the
world. Amen." Using "Google Translate" Matthew 28:19-20 then becomes, for
example, in Turkish, "Matta 28: 19-20, Bu nedenle gidin, ve Baba adına
onları vaftiz, tüm ulusları öğretmek, Oğul ve Kutsal Ruh'un: Seni komuta
var olursa olsun onları Öğretim her şeyi gözlemlemek için: ve, lo, ben bile
dünyanın sonu dediler, hep seninleyim. Amin." John 14:6, "Jesus saith unto
him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father,
but by me." can then become "يوحنا 14: 6، "قال له يسوع، أنا هو الطريق والحق
والحياة:. ليس أحد يأتي إلى الآب إلا بي in Arabic. Remember what saint Paul
said in 1 Corinthians 9:22, "To the weak became I as weak, that I might
gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means
save some." which translated into Punjabi is 1 ਕੁਰਿੰ 9:22, "ਕਮਜ਼ੋਰ ਕਰਨ ਲਈ,
ਮੈਨੂੰ ਕਮਜ਼ੋਰ ਹਾਸਲ ਹੋ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ, ਜੋ ਕਿ, ਮੈਨੂੰ ਦੇ ਤੌਰ ਤੇ ਕਮਜ਼ੋਰ ਹੋ ਗਿਆ:. ਮੈਨੂੰ
ਸਭ ਲੋਕ ਲਈ ਸਭ ਕੁਝ ਕੀਤਾ ਸੀ ਰਿਹਾ, ਮੈਨੂੰ ਸਾਰੇ ਢੰਗ ਨਾਲ ਕੁਝ ਨੂੰ ਬਚਾਉਣ ਹੋ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ
ਕਿ". 2 Timothy 4:2-5, "Preach the word; be instant in season, out of
season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. 3 For
the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after
their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching
ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be
turned unto fables. 5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do
the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry." Thus a
Christian can take a passage like this & translate it into 91 different
languages on Google Translate (use the official 'Google' site rather than
something else that looks similar). Keep in mind that the computer
translation is not always perfect but it is better than nothing at all.
There has never been a better opportunity to "do the work of an evangelist"
in this modern technological age.
@bubblecool2000 People are always coming or going in Islam, so what does
that prove? To early Muslims, the Qur’an taught them that the sun literally
sets in the waters of a muddy spring (Sura 18:85-86). The early Muslim
historian al-Tabari vol.1 p.234 shows this. Also, "[Dhu al-Qarnaiyn]
witnessed the setting of the sun in its resting place into a pool of black
and foetid slime." according to al-Tabari vol.5 p.173-174. Al-Tabari vol 1
p. 371 says the earth actually sits on a big fish. Really?!
@mabo612 In logic you're argument is known as the AD HOMINEM fallacy which
is completely meaningless. You simply call the Christians names without
proving your own position is true. Why should we believe you when you have
nothing to say that proves Islam is true? There's plenty of evidence
against Islam to prove it false but you just ignore that & instead call
names. To answer you question, see our video "Answering Islam #2: Sinless
Islamic Prophets? Only Jesus was Sinless According to Islam."
Two different Muslim groups challenged to debate Larry Wessels, one in the
United Kingdom & another from Canada, & both groups insisted that Wessels
pay his own way to travel to these distant locations. Wessels insisted that
they pay his way but they refused. Wessels then invited them to pay & send
a debater down to Austin, Texas to debate in his TV studio but they
refused. No Muslim in Austin has challenged. Wessels has produced a 10 hour
video series refuting Dr Jamal Badawi - see playlist.
lol noah over did it once(get drunk) in the holy scriptures, david had sex
with a married woman but found forgivness with God after he repented. and
incese was not by lot but by his daughters. they got him drunk because they
didnt think they would be able to find a man like him through out the
earth. so please stop listening to joshua evans and read the bible for
yourself.

boast that they will have over 20,000 jihadi fighters mixed in with the

the ISIS magazine "Dabiq" (see
//www.clarionproject.org/news/islamic-state-isis-isil-propaganda-magazine-dabiq#)
claimed that they would infiltrate the West with 20,000 jihadi fighters by
creating a refugee flood of Muslims trying to enter western countries not
only to spread Islam but to spread terror (to see all copies of the ISIS
magazine "Dabiq" go to the site "Institue for Jihadi Research" at
//theinstituteforjihadiresearch.org/category/ad-dawlat-al-islaameeyah/dabiq-magazine/magazine-issues/).
ISIS, the self-proclaimed Islamic state that's attempting to establish a
caliphate across large areas of Iraq and Syria, publishes a glossy
English-language propaganda magazine called Dabiq, complete with slick
graphics and high-quality photos. Dabiq is one of the group's recruitment
tools, coupled with its strong social media presence. The magazine, whose
name references the location of Islam's mythical Armageddon (a town in
northern Syria), bills itself as an "informative" source for the activities
of ISIS fighters, while preaching on holy topics and issuing decrees. Its
producers claim that Allah approves the message: ISIS has "not a mustard
seed of doubt regarding this."
"If you can kill a disbelieving American or European...or an Australian or
a Canadian...then rely upon Allah, and kill him in any manner." For more
see Robert Spencer's video ""Robert Spencer on Why ISIS is Islamic" at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dw9lG83lr0s (this video also exposes the
fact that Barack Hussein Obama was raised as a Muslim although now Obama
may be more of a secular Marxist with very pro Islam leanings because of
his own family history).
In any case, the fourth issue of Dabiq justifies all sorts of terrible
things ISIS and its fighters may do in the name of Allah. Here are 10 of
the worst examples, with quotations:
1. Sack other people's cities
"We will come to your homeland by Allah’s permission."
"We will conquer your Rome."
"We will not rest from our jihād until we are under the olive trees of
Rome, after we destroy the filthy house called the White House."
2. Condemn other people's beliefs
"We will…break your crosses."
"And those who have disbelieved—unto Hell they will be gathered."
(Although, to be fair, some Christians believe the same thing.)
"You are the best people for people. You bring them with chains around
their necks, until they enter Islam."
3. Enslave people, in some cases to save ISIS's men from temptation
"We will…enslave your women, by the permission of Allah, the Exalted. This
is His promise to us…"
"Our children and grandchildren…will sell your sons as slaves at the slave
market."
"The desertion of slavery had led to an increase in fāhishah [adultery,
fornication], because the shar'ī alternative to marriage is not available,
so a man who cannot afford marriage to a free woman finds himself
surrounded by temptation towards sin."
4. Threaten and kill people
"You will not feel secure even in your bedrooms."
"You will pay the price when your sons are sent to wage war against us, and
they return to you as disabled amputees, or inside coffins, or mentally
ill."
"You must strike the soldiers, patrons, and troops of the tawāghīt
[unbelievers]. Strike their police, security, and intelligence members, as
well as their treacherous agents. Destroy their beds. Embitter their lives
for them and busy them with themselves. If you can kill a disbelieving
American or European—especially the spiteful and filthy French—or an
Australian, or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever from the disbelievers
waging war, including the citizens of the countries that entered into a
coalition against the Islamic State, then rely upon Allah, and kill him in
any manner or way however it may be."
5. Turn women and children into sex slaves and concubines—those you don't
kill
Yazidi "women could be enslaved unlike female apostates who the majority of
the fuqahā’ [jurists] say cannot be enslaved and can only be given an
ultimatum to repent or face the sword. After capture, the Yazidi women and
children were then divided according to the Sharī'ah amongst the fighters
of the Islamic State who participated in the Sinjar operations, after one
fifth of the slaves were transferred to the Islamic State's authority to be
divided as khums [taxes]."
“One should remember that enslaving the families of the kuffār
[unbelievers] and taking their women as concubines is a firmly established
aspect of the Sharī'ah that if one were to deny or mock, he would be
denying or mocking the verses of the Qur'ān and the narrations of the
Prophet.”
6. Plunder
"His provision becomes what Allah has given him of spoils from the property
of His enemy," because "wealth" was only sent to earth to create prayer and
"people [with] obedience to Allah are more deserving of wealth."
"Send them very much, for it will end up as war booty in our hands by
Allah's permission. You will spend it, then it will be a source of regret
for you, then you will be defeated. Look at your armored vehicles,
machinery, weaponry, and equipment. It is in our hands."
Allah "legalized war booty" for Muhammad and his ummah [nation]. "War booty
is more lawful than other income for a number of reasons."
7. Murder civilians
[Americans]—"die in your rage."
"Kill the disbeliever whether he is civilian or military, for they have the
same ruling."
"We did not come as farmers, rather we came to kill the farmers and eat
their crops."
8. Ethnically cleanse
"It has become necessary for a trial to come, expel the filth, and purify
the ranks."
9. Use suicide as a weapon
[Muslims] "are a people who through the ages have not known defeat. The
outcome of their battles is concluded before they begin. Being
killed—according to their account—is a victory. This is where the secret
lies. You fight a people who can never be defeated."
10. Purport to help people even as you commit horrible atrocities (this
follows the official Islamic doctrine of intentional deception for the
cause of Allah & the advancement of Islam called Taqiyya (see the video
"What Is Taqiyya?" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6F4wBeshTsw).
Keep in mind that former Muslim from Iran Shahram Hadian who is now a
Christian pastor (see his his videos "Answering Islam: The Influence of
Islam in American Politics | Shahram Hadian" at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogBKyEGHIlI or
//www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=117151913477 & "1. Answering
Islam: True Face of Islam | Shahram Hadian" at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASUnosseuEI or
//www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=117151552120) says that based
on a Georgetown University study & survey of actual Muslims after the
9/11/2001 attack (see "The True Goal of Islam | Interview with Shahram
Hadian" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TS5ICg55qp8, specically the 22:49
to 28:18 time mark of this video) between 30% to 35% of all Muslims
actually take Islam seriously & are more strict in their interpretations of
the Islamic Qur'an & the hadiths which is similar to the many Jihadi groups
operating in the world like the Islamic State, Hamas, al-Qaeda, Boco Haram
& others who try to spread Islam the way Muhammad did historically. On the
other hand 65% to 70% of all so-called Muslims today would be classified
as" hypocrites" under Islamic law and are only lukewarm to agnostic,
secular or atheistic while they claim to be Muslims. Dr. James White (
www.AOMin.org) has a fascinating video showing the contrast between these
two groups called "Two Contrasting Views of Islam, and Then a Little on
CRISPR (Jumbo Edition)" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7zwdKpB9YE.
Particularly notice the type of Muslim video representing the 65% to 70%
Muslims at the 18:29 time mark of this video with the Muslim video put out
by ISIS which represents the historic & literalistic interpretation of
Islam held by the estimated 30% to 35% of Muslims at the 49:55 time mark.

Ask a Muslim: have you ever wondered why many people who want to follow the
truth, believe they cannot, in good conscience, become Muslims?
This list not intended give all the support people have for every reason.
This simply, in a respectful tone, to briefly describe some of the reasons,
any single one of which, if true, would be sufficient to disqualify Islam.
The references explain each reason.
Islam Denies Words of Previous Prophets
1. Muslims reject words of previous prophets; the claim they are corrupted.
Yet Sura 5:46-48 says Jesus confirmed the law and the gospel. The Dead Sea
Scrolls have the Old Testament from the Jesus’ time.
www.MuslimHope.com/DeadSeaScrolls.htm
If Allah were not powerful to preserve the law of Moses and the gospel of
Jesus, Allah would not be powerful enough to preserve the message of the
Qur’an. If Allah could preserve the message of the Qur’an, He could
preserve His Word before then too.
www.MuslimHope.com/WhatEarlyChristiansTaughtSummaryGrid.htm
2. Islam rejects prophets teaching that God is a Father. This is affirmed
by Jews, Christians, and frequently in the Old and New Testaments.
www.MuslimHope.com/FatherhoodOfGod.htm
While God is not a Father in a sexual sense, He is both an adopted Father
to believers, and He specially begot Jesus before time began. God is
clearly a Father in the copies of scripture we have at the time of Jesus.
www.MuslimHope.com/DeadSeaScrolls.htm
3. Jesus taught that He is the Son of God and accepted Worship as God. The
Qur’an rejects this.
www.MuslimHope.com/JesusIsGod.htm. Even early pagan writers acknowledge
this is what was taught.
4. Allah deceives – even all the followers of Christ. Yet the Bible says
God does not lie (Num 23:19; 1 Sam 15:24) In the Qur’an Allah is the
greatest of schemers, fooling all His early followers into thinking Jesus
was crucified and rose from the dead.
www.MuslimHope.com/DeceptionInIslam.htm
Some Errors in the Qur’an
5. Zul Qarnain: the sun does not set in a muddy spring
www.MuslimHope.com/ZulQarnain.htm
www.MuslimHope.com/AstronomyAndTheQuran.htm
Muslim historians show that this idea in Sura 18:85-86, that the sun really
goes down into a muddy spring at night, was literally believed, and misled
Muslims until recently.
6. There was no mosque in Jerusalem in Mohammed’s alleged Night Journey
(Sura 17:1) www.MuslimHope.com/NightJourney.htm
The site in Jerusalem of the destroyed Jewish temple, and the future
al-Aqsa mosque, was a garbage dump in Mohammed’s time, as documented by
Muslims. Mohammed claimed to visit a building that did not exist.
Non-Muslims would question why Palestinians felt the al-Aqsa Martyrs
Brigade needed to exist.
Changes in the Qur’an
7. Major rewrite: Daughters of Allah in Sura 53
www.MuslimHope.com/DaughtersOfAllah.htm
Four early and seven later Muslim biographers document that Sura 53
originally said, "Have ye seen [the pagan goddesses] Lat, and ‘Uzza, And
another, the third, Manat? These are the exalted cranes (intermediaries)
Whose intercession is to be hoped for." The hadiths and Qur’an also admit
that when Revelations came, Satan also sent counterfeit "whisperings"
8. Variants: Mohammed’s secretaries, ‘Ubai bin Ka’b and others had fewer or
more suras. It is a falsehood when some Muslims say the Qur’an has no
variants. www.MuslimHope.com/QuranVariants.htm
While some Qur’anic verses were left in but abrogated (i.e. not to be
followed after a brief time), the hadiths and Muslim historians document
verses and even suras silently removed. The newly discovered early
San’a/Yemeni Qur’an also showed many variants.
Violence of Mohammed and Early Muslims
9. Mohammed ordered torture at least twice
www.MuslimHope.com/WarInIslam.htm
Kinanah bin al-Rabi’ was slowly burned because he did not want to tell
where his treasure was. The other case was on a tribe that killed people
Mohammed sent to tell them to drink camel urine for their ailments.
10. Mohammed ordered assassinations www.MuslimHope.com/Assassinations.htm
10a. Ka’b bin Ashraf maligned Allah and his messenger [i.e. Mohammed]. Ka’b
bin Ashraf trusted the assassin, but Mohammed specifically allowed the
assassin to say anything and betray him.
10b. Abu Rafi (probably for military reasons)
10c. Attempted of Abu Sufyan (Meccan general)
10d. al-Aswad (He claimed he was a prophet too, so Mohammed used violence
to silence him.)
10e. Khalid bin Sufyan (Mohammed heard he was gathering a force)
10f. Yusar bin Rizam (Muslims killed him when they sensed he had second
thoughts about becoming a Muslim, but Mohammed did not order this)
11. Mohammed spread Islam by the sword: Mohammed ordered surprise attacks
on unsuspecting people. If Islam means "peace", why in a ten-year period
were there about 82 battles? www.MuslimHope.com/WarInIslam.htm
www.MuslimHope.com/BanuMustaliq.htm
Islamic View of Women and Marriage
12. Women your right hands possess. Besides up to four wives, a Muslim man
can have unlimited slave girls and captives for sex, even if they are
unwilling. www.MuslimHope.com/WomenInIslam.htm
www.MuslimHope.com/RightHand.htm
13. Women are less than men: not pray during their time of month, less
intelligent, more in Hell. www.MuslimHope.com/WomenInIslam.htm
Muslim scholar al-Ghazali (1058-1111 A.D.) listed 18 ways women are
inferior to men. They include:
A woman’s court testimony counts as half a man’s
Men have multiple wives; women only one husband
Woman cannot divorce so easily like men
The wife must stay secluded at home
A woman must keep her head covered
Women cannot leave the house except with a near relative
A woman cannot be a ruler or judge
14. Mustahil and Mu’tah – they sound disgusting
After an irrevocable divorce, a woman must consummate a marriage with
someone else before she can remarry the man. A mustahil is a man paid to
perform this service. Mu’tah is temporary marriage, so that a man can marry
a woman for a few hours, or longer, but it is not called prostitution.
Sunnis say Mohammed permitted this for a period of time only, but Shi’ites
say it is valid today, and this is practiced in Iran and other places.
www.MuslimHope.com/WomenInIslam.htm
15. Why did Mohammed consummate his marriage with a 8 to 9 year old girl?
www.MuslimHope.com/AishaNine.htm
This has caused untold grief and physical problems of perforated uteruses
for young Muslim girls in Africa and elsewhere.
The Unusual Character of Mohammed
16. Why did he need so many wives?
www.MuslimHope.com/WhyDidMohammedGetSoManyWives.htm
His adopted son was commanded to divorce his wife Zainab bint Jahsh so that
Mohammed could marry her. Other wives, Safiya and Juwairiyya bint Harith,
were widows because Mohammed had their husbands killed right before. Some
women declined Mohammed’s marriage proposals, and Muslim historians also
document that Mohammed had some divorces too. Mohammed had concubines too.
17. Bewitched: How could a true prophet of God be under an evil spell?
www.MuslimHope.com/Bewitched.htm
This is documented in at least 11 places in the hadiths, which define the
(Sharia) Law of Sunni Islam.
18. Odd Superstitions: The hadiths record that Mohammed taught the evil eye
is a fact, after the call of nature must use an odd number of stones, clean
your nose an odd number of times, recite prayers an odd number of times,
apply collyridium or eyes an odd number of times. Put on your right sandal
first and take off your left sandal first. Eat with your right hand because
Satan eats with his left. www.MuslimHope.com/IslamAndScience.htm
www.MuslimHope.com/IslamAndMedicine.htm
19. Torment of the grave was something that terrified Mohammed himself.
This does not mean time in Hell, but in the actually grave site itself.
Mohammed was fearful of this for others, his Muslim followers, and
specifically for himself. www.MuslimHope.com/TormentOfTheGrave.htm

at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE04A1D0DFE95B95E. Don't depend
on a last second deathbed conversion to save you from the wrath of a holy
God. Come to the Biblical Jesus Christ today for salvation in repentance &
faith (2 Corinthians 6:2, "behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is
the day of salvation; Acts 16:31, "And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ, and thou shalt be saved;" Mark 1:15, "The time is fulfilled, and
the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel;" 1
Corinthians 15:1-4, "Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which
I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, 2 by
which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to
you—unless you believed in vain. 3 For I delivered to you first of all that
which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the
Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day
according to the Scriptures," Revelation 1:8, Jesus is the "Alpha and
Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which
was, and which is to come, the Almighty.", Revelation 1:18, Jesus says "I
am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore,
Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death." Becoming a true Christian is
not easy therefore count the cost. Becoming a true Christian is not saying
a quick prayer & thinking you're okay. Becoming a true Christian is not
getting water baptized as a baby or as an adult (see our video "IS WATER
BAPTISM NECESSARY TO ESCAPE HELL & BE SAVED & ARE YOU "BORN AGAIN" (JOHN
3:3-8) BY IT?" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYJtMV9qrWg. You must be
supernaturally "born again" by a sovereign act of God through the power of
the Holy Spirit (John 1:12-13, 3:3-8; Titus 3:5-7; John 6:37, 39, 44, 63,
65; Ephesians 3:16-21; Romans 8:1-17; 1 Corinthians 2:10-16; Luke 14:26-35,
“If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and
children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My
disciple. 27 And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot
be My disciple. 28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not
sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it—
29 lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all
who see it begin to mock him, 30 saying, ‘This man began to build and was
not able to finish’? 31 Or what king, going to make war against another
king, does not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten
thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? 32 Or
else, while the other is still a great way off, he sends a delegation and
asks conditions of peace. 33 So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake
all that he has cannot be My disciple.34 “Salt is good; but if the salt has
lost its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? 35 It is neither fit for the
land nor for the dunghill, but men throw it out. He who has ears to hear,
let him hear!” Luke 6:46, Jesus said, "And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and
do not the things which I say?" Becoming a true Christian will change your
life forever in this life & the next (2 Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore, if
anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away;
behold, all things have become new."). Beg God to save you since you cannot
get into heaven by your own righteousness & good works (Ephesians 2:8-10,
"8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of
yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should
boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good
works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them."). Keep
begging God for salvation through Jesus Christ until the day comes that He
grants your request (Acts 13:48, "Now when the Gentiles heard this, they
were glad and glorified the word of the Lord. And as many as had been
appointed to eternal life believed." & 2 Timothy 2:25-26, "24 And a servant
of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient,
25 in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will
grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth, 26 and that they
may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been
taken captive by him to do his will."). When you are supernaturally
regenerated by the Holy Spirit you will know it & suddenly have the power
to repent of your evil ways & for the first time you will actually love God
more than your own life knowing that nothing in creation is more important
than God alone. You will then spend the rest of eternity loving, serving &
praising God for He is worthy. John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, “I am the
way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through
Me." See our video "IS JESUS GOD ALMIGHTY IN THE FLESH MEANING THE SECOND

Interestingly, when a Muslim says that the Bible has been corrupted, he's
contradicting his own revelations. While Muslims today often claim that the
Bible has been corrupted, the Qur'an says something completely different.
In the Qur'an, Allah affirms the inspiration (3:3-4), preservation (6:114-115;
10:94; 18:27) and authority (5:47; 5:68) of the Christian scriptures. See

Muhammed's "Satanic Verses." Muslims often are very quick to tell others
that God allowed the Bible to be corrupted. What they are implying is that
the Qur'an today is the reliable word of God while the Bible is not. The
Bible has many minor textual variants, but the evidence of any doctrinal
changes in negligible. The Qur'an has more evidence of corruption in light
of Ubai, abrogated verses, 'Uthman, and other Qur'anic problems. However,
the most drastic Qur'anic doctrinal variation, brought up by Muslims
themselves, is "the daughters of Allah". The Christian web site
//answering-islam.org/Responses/Saifullah/sverses.htm says, "One of
the most embarrassing events in Muhammad's life occurred when Satan put his
words in Muhammad's mouth. Muhammad spoke Satan's words as the word of God.
This event is documented by several early Muslim scholars and referenced in
the Hadith and Qur'an." Embarrassed Muslims later changed the Quranic
verses to something else.
This topic is one of the most controversial in Islam. Satan caused Muhammad
to recite his words as God's words."
What Did the Qur'an Originally Say?
The Star Sura (Sura 53) verses 19-20 say, "Have ye seen Lat, and 'Uzza, And
another, the third (goddess), Manat?"
Allah was prominent in Pre-Islamic Arabia, as a god with three daughters:
al-Lat, al-Uzza, and Manat. (Note that al- means "the".)
The four early biographers of Mohammed wrote that they verses originally
were followed by:
"These are the exalted cranes (intermediaries) Whose intercession is to be
hoped for."
Interpretation: Allah's daughters were considered heavenly beings of
intercessors. High altitude Numidian cranes were a metaphor for them. An
alternate reading for "is to be hoped for" (turtaja) is "is accepted with
approval" (turtada). (From Alfred Guillaume's translation of Ibn Ishaq's
The Life of Mohammed p.166.
Al-Wahidi/Wakidi (died 207/823 A.D.) wrote Asbab al-Nozul. "On a certain
day, the chief men of Mecca, assembled in a group beside the Kaaba,
discussed as was their wont the affairs of the city; when Mahomet appeared
and, seating himself by them in a friendly manner, began to recite in their
hearing the 53 Sura.... 'And see ye not Lat and Ozza, and Manat the third
besides?' When he had reached this verse, the devil suggested an expression
of the thoughts which for many a day had possessed his soul; and put in to
his mouth words of reconciliation and compromise, the revelation of which
he had been longing for from God, namely; 'These are the exalted Females,
and verily their intercession is to be hoped for.' The Coreish were
surprised and delighted with this acknowledgement of their deities; and as
Mahomet wound up the Sura with the closing words 'Wherefore bow down before
God, and serve him' the whole assembly prostrated themselves with one
accord on the ground and worshipped. ... In the evening Gabriel visited
him; and the prophet recited the Sura unto him. And Gabriel said, 'What is
this that thou has done? Thou has repeated before the people words that I
never gave unto thee'. So Mahomet grieved sore, ..."
Ibn Jarir al-Tabari (died 923 A.D.) was a Shafi'ite Sunni who wrote a
38-volume Islamic History of the world until 915 A.D. He has been titled
"the sheikh of commentators". He writes in volume 6 p.108-110, "When the
messenger of God saw how his tribe turned their backs on him and was
grieved to see them shunning the message he had brought to them from God,
he longed in his soul that something would come to him from God which would
reconcile him with his tribe.... And when he came to the words: 'Have you
thought upon al-Lat and al-Uzza and Manat, the third, the other?' Satan
cast on his tongue, because of his inner debates and what he desired to
bring to his people, the words: 'These are the high flying cranes; verily
their intercession is accepted with approval [alternately: to be desired or
hoped for].' When the Quraysh heard this, they rejoiced and were happy and
delighted at the way in which he spoke of their gods, and they listened to
him, while the Muslims, having complete trust in their prophet in respect
of the message which he brought from god, did not suspect him of error,
illusion, or mistake. ... Then [later] Gabriel came to the Messenger of God
and said, 'Mohammed, what have you done? You have recited to the people
that which I did not bring to you from God, ...'"
Jesus said, "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's
clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves." Matthew 7:15

We have a website, //www.muslimhope.com/, which is meant to help
Christians share their Christian faith with Muslims around the world thus
we have it set up for several different languages. Our website covers:
Arabic, Indonesian, Malaysian, Punjabi, Swahili, Turkish, & Urdu. For
example, if a person's native language is Arabic who the Christian is
dealing with they can go to that language on our website & once there click
on the English topics to the left where this topic then will be translated
into Arabic which can then be shared with Arabic speakers. The same applies
for any of these other languages. For example, here's the link to our Urdu
section at //www.muslimhope.com/Urdu/index.htm. See also our playlist

videos & counting at
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1C7F68B548009FDD. "Google
Translate" on the internet also affords Christians the opportunity to
translate their own language into another language as well as taking
written information from various Christian websites dealing with Islam (see
our link to them at //www.muslimhope.com/LinksOnIslam.htm) &
translating valuable information from them into another language for
sharing with Muslims. Matthew 28:19-20, "Go ye therefore, and teach all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of
the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have
commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the
world. Amen." Using "Google Translate" Matthew 28:19-20 then becomes, for
example, in Turkish, "Matta 28: 19-20, Bu nedenle gidin, ve Baba adına
onları vaftiz, tüm ulusları öğretmek, Oğul ve Kutsal Ruh'un: Seni komuta
var olursa olsun onları Öğretim her şeyi gözlemlemek için: ve, lo, ben bile
dünyanın sonu dediler, hep seninleyim. Amin." John 14:6, "Jesus saith unto
him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father,
but by me." can then become "يوحنا 14: 6، "قال له يسوع، أنا هو الطريق والحق
والحياة:. ليس أحد يأتي إلى الآب إلا بي in Arabic. Remember what saint Paul
said in 1 Corinthians 9:22, "To the weak became I as weak, that I might
gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means
save some." which translated into Punjabi is 1 ਕੁਰਿੰ 9:22, "ਕਮਜ਼ੋਰ ਕਰਨ ਲਈ,

ਸਭ ਲੋਕ ਲਈ ਸਭ ਕੁਝ ਕੀਤਾ ਸੀ ਰਿਹਾ, ਮੈਨੂੰ ਸਾਰੇ ਢੰਗ ਨਾਲ ਕੁਝ ਨੂੰ ਬਚਾਉਣ ਹੋ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ
ਕਿ". 2 Timothy 4:2-5, "Preach the word; be instant in season, out of
season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. 3 For
the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after
their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching
ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be
turned unto fables. 5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do
the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry." Thus a
Christian can take a passage like this & translate it into 91 different
languages on Google Translate (use the official 'Google' site rather than
something else that looks similar). Keep in mind that the computer
translation is not always perfect but it is better than nothing at all.
There has never been a better opportunity to "do the work of an evangelist"
in this modern technological age.
@destnidred3 You didn't answer anything I brought up in my last comment to
you but rather changed the subject completely. I assume then everything I
said before was correct to you. Regardless, your Qur'an has failed you
again on the days of creation. In your argument you forgot to mention Sura
41:12 (or did you intentionally forget it?). Sura 41:9 = 2 days + Sura
41:10= 4 days + Sura 41:12= 2 days adding up to 8 days not 6 contradicting
Sura 10:3 & Sura 7:54. The Qur'an fails creation math test.
@destnidred3 You have not studied Islam very well to come to the conclusion
that the Qur'an is a "miracle of the miracles." Please read our website
MUSLIMHOPE COM & properly educate yourself on Islam. For example, In Sura
2:122; 2:47; 44:30-32; 45:16; Allah prefers Jews above all people, but in
62:6, it appears that he disapproves of them, threatening them with death
and turning them into pigs and monkeys (Sura 5:60; 2:65; 98:6 etc). Sura
41:9-12 says earth made in 8 days/ Sura 10:3 says 6 days.
We highly recommend James White & his ministry (AOMIN ORG website). He
appears in many of our videos including with the presenter here, Larry
Wessels. James has a very valid point & bringing up Mohammad's 6 year old
wife at the wrong time or in the wrong fashion can be detrimental but I
would argue that that's not always the case. For proof, see our most viewed
YT video, "6 YEAR OLD WIFE OF M0HAMMED WAS OKAY BY THE MUSLIM GOD ALLAH BUT
NOT BY THE BIBLICAL GOD OF JESUS" with over 294,000 views.
@samuelchap Our ministry has been producing Christian television
programming since 1985 on Austin Time-Warner cable television. In this
case, the particular video footage filmed at a major university campus with
Muslim students took place somewhere around 1991 to 1992 & the studio
footage was filmed in 1994 to 1995. This was one of our early Islam
productions. Since then we have produced about 40 additional videos (type
"LARRY WESSELS ISLAM" in the YOUTUBE search box to bring them up).
If you put in the title, "Christian Training for Witnessing to the Muslims
#1" (copy & paste the title) in the YouTube search box, part 1 will show up
& then just click on it. We also have a playlist on Islam with 65 videos we
have produced on this subject on our main YouTube channel page CANSWERSTV.
Please see also our website which is solely devoted to an analysis of Islam
at MUSLIMHOPE COM.
James White mentioned during a presentation to christians not to bring up
the issue of the 6 year old wife because that was common in that society
and therefore not a valid point. You'll just offend the muslim and they
will shut down and not have any further discussion with you about scripture.
@candiceevans1 actually i feel sorry for u guys bec u r on the wrong path
and u know that it is illogical if u say that muhammed(saw) wrote quran bec
he is illiterate and it is also a miracle that it was revealed to him
bec....... quran is the miracles of the miracles.........
@CAnswersTV properly look the sura 41:9 it says that earth is made in 2days
and in 41:10 it says 4 days a total of six days and in sura 10:3 it says
that the heaven and earth were made in six days
