| Why Islamic Apologists Do It |

| another well written article by Ali Sina at http://www.faithfreedom.org/oped/sina31114.htm I hope more people send the URL of this site to their friends. EFL How Islam became the darling of the western apologists ... why have so many western writers praised it?" For example Prof. Michael Sells of the University of North Carolina wrote a benign version of the Quran, which omitted the violent verses that Muhammad wrote during the last decade of his life.... I wrote him a letter asking for explanation, but received no response. I also invited Prof. John Esposito, the chief editor of the Oxford Encyclopedia of the Modern Islamic World and The Oxford History of Islam to debate with me about the history of Islam and defend his position that Islam expanded peacefully. Dr. Esposito also did not reply. The truth is not difficult to find. All we have to do is to read the original history of Islam written by the early historians, read the hadith for historical information, and read the Quran. When you do that; you get to know the true Islam. This is the pure Islam as taught by the Wahhabis and practiced by the Taliban. Then, when you read the books written by these modern apologists of Islam, you can see that they are concealing the truth. To find the truth we have to go to the source. The sources are the original historis written by In Is-haq, al Waquidi, al Tabari and the hadith. These are the early books on the history of Islam written by Muslim historians. All the later scholars must, or should have, consulted these books. There are no other sources on the history of Islam. So if what the modern Islamic writers say is contrary to what the above books say, are they telling the truth? Why would the experts on Islam lie? The answer is complex... Muslims terrorize those who write books that reveal the ugly side of Islam. In such a repressive atmosphere, deceit is applied and truth is the casualty. There is also another factor that has to be taken into consideration. Political Correctness: ... The idea was noble; something that Muslims would not be able even to understand. However, the sad reality is that by doing so, the truth was sacrificed at the altar of Political Correctness. This provided the milieu for Islam to expand in the West. Islam thrives in an environment where truth is suppressed.... |
