| A Brief Collection of Quranic contradictions and anomalies |
| 2007-03-12 |
| Syed from Islam-Watch covers some familier ground, e.g., A. Some Cosmological Flaws: (Scientific contradictions) (1) God created the Heaven first or, the Earth first (?) ... (2) Numerical contradictions ....... 3. Allah’s Days Equal to 1000 Years or 50,000 Years (?) .... (5) A resting place for sun WAS CONFIRMED BY SAHI HADITHS ... (6) Quran wonders why/how Sun and Moon do not collide/catch each other (?) ... (7) Why Allah created Stars(?) ... The more interesting part is Syed's explanation of why moslems believe the Koran is easy to understand, simple and without contradiction. Basically, he says it is because they don't know what the Koran says. ...Millions of devout fanatical and gullible Muslims (Arabs and non-Arabs) recite (parroting) Quranic verses at least 5 times daily. Strange thing is non-Arab Muslims do not understand the meaning of a single word at all [and I doubt many Arab speakers really can figure out much]. Yet, unlike any others, Muslims recite their Quran like ‘Tantor Montor’ or ‘Abra-ka-dabra’ of a magician, or like “Mantro” of a witch hunter. From the very childhood brainwashing, these Muslims were taught that reciting Holy Quran even without understanding any meaning is the best practice of worshipping Allah and can earn unlimited blessings from Allah. Therefore, these Islamic Zombies recite Quranic verses with sweet melodious voice daily, and they will also recite Quranic verses during their daily five time prayers. Even western educated highly qualified devout Muslims have no qualm or shame that they do not really understand what they are reciting from the Qur’an.... I think Syed lives in Virginia but otherwise not much is known of him. |

| #1 This should really be its own post. From Why I don't convert to Islam by James Arlandson (1) The Quran differs widely from the Bible on such persons as Adam, Noah, Lot, Abraham, Ishmael and Isaac, and Moses. (2) The Quran denies the actual and physical crucifixion of Jesus Christ. (3) The Quran grants 'special' marriage privileges only to Muhammad. (4) The Quran allows a Muslim to be polygamous with up to four wives. (5) The Quran grants Muhammad twenty percent from raids, wars, and conquests. (6) The Quran permits husbands to hit their wives (7) The Quran says that Muhammad had little or no authority over some evil jinn (genii) who came into his presence. Also, meteors kill jinn. (8) The Quran allows mature men to marry and have sex with prepubescent girls. (9) The Quran orders the mutilation of male and female thieves. 10) The Quran allows slavery, and Muhammad himself traded in slaves. 11) The Quran says that slave—girls are sexual property for their male owners. 12) The Quran orders torture (crucifixion) and mutilation. 13) The Quran orders sexual sinners to be whipped. (14) The Quran says that a woman's testimony counts half of a man's testimony because of her 'forgetfulness.' (15) The Quran allows an injured plaintiff to exact legal revenge—physical eye for physical eye, literally. 16) The Quran orders death for individual critics and opponents of Muhammad. 17) The Quran celebrates Muhammad's slaughter and enslavement of a thriving Jewish tribe (Qurayza) and his confiscation of their property. (18) The Quran orders warfare on Christians and Jews during Muhammad's first Crusade (long before the European ones). 19) The Quran orders warfare and death for polytheists who refuse to convert. (20) The Quran testifies against its own reliability and incorruptibility. (21) The Quran shows Muhammad nervously taking refuge in Allah from dark powers and magic. (22) The Quran recycles events in young Mary's life that really come from apocryphal gospels, even though Muhammad claims that he received this information only by revelation. 23) The Quran confuses the doctrine of the Spirit. 24) The Quran says that Muhammad is only a human and mortal messenger. 25) The Quran denies the divine and eternal Sonship of Jesus Christ. |
