The Terror of Islam, Part 1

I recently received an email which encapsulates the threat that emanates from Islam. Islam is not the innocuous “religion of peace’ that some of our politically correct and corrupt politicians make believe that it is. Read the following and contemplate its message: (The highlights are mine.)

 

What Islam Is Not:



Islam, not the Chinese nor the Russians, represents the greatest threat to the world and might be the fulfillment of the book of Revelation in the Holy Bible. This is very disturbing for a Christian to read, but read it and be educated. The following content is adapted from Dr. Peter Hammond's book: Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat.

Islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult. In its fullest form, it is a complete, total, 100% system of life. Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, social, and military components. The religious component is a beard for all of the other components. Islamization begins when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their religious privileges. When politically correct, tolerant, and culturally diverse societies agree to Muslim demands for their religious privileges, some of the other components tend to creep in as well. Here's how it works:

As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be mostly regarded as a peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens.This is the case in:

United States -- Muslim 0.6%
Australia -- Muslim 1.5%
Canada -- Muslim 1.9%
China -- Muslim 1.8%
Italy -- Muslim 1.5%
Norway -- Muslim 1.8%

At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs. This is happening in:

Denmark -- Muslim 2%
Germany -- Muslim 3.7%
United Kingdom -- Muslim 2.7%
Spain -- Muslim 4%
Thailand -- Muslim 4.6%

From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves -- along with threats for failure to comply. This is occurring in:

France -- Muslim 8%
Philippines -- Muslim 5%
Sweden -- Muslim 5%
Switzerland -- Muslim 4.3%
The Netherlands -- Muslim 5.5%
Trinidad & Tobago -- Muslim 5.8%

At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia law over the entire world.

When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. In Paris, we are already seeing car-burnings. . Any non-Muslim action offends Islam and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam, with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam. Such tensions are seen daily, particularly in Muslim sections in:

Guyana -- Muslim 10%
India -- Muslim 13.4%
Israel -- Muslim 16%
Kenya -- Muslim 10%
Russia -- Muslim 15%

After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues, such as in:

Ethiopia -- Muslim 32.8%

At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare, such as in:

Bosnia -- Muslim 40%
Chad -- Muslim 53.1%
Lebanon -- Muslim 59.7%

From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels, such as in:

Albania -- Muslim 70%
Malaysia -- Muslim 60.4%
Qatar -- Muslim 77.5%
Sudan -- Muslim 70%

After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out the infidels, and move toward 100% Muslim, such as has been experienced and is on-going in:

Bangladesh -- Muslim 83%
Egypt -- Muslim 90%
Gaza -- Muslim 98.7%
Indonesia -- Muslim 86.1%
Iran -- Muslim 98%
Iraq -- Muslim 97%
Jordan -- Muslim 92%
Morocco -- Muslim 98.7%
Pakistan -- Muslim 97%
Palestine -- Muslim 99%
Syria -- Muslim 90%
Tajikistan -- Muslim 90%
Turkey -- Muslim 99.8%
United Arab Emirates -- Muslim 96%

100% will usher in the peace of 'Dar-es-Salaam' -- the Islamic House of Peace. Here there's supposed to be peace, because everybody is a Muslim, the Madrassas are the only schools, and the Koran is the only word, such as in:

Afghanistan -- Muslim 100%
Saudi Arabia -- Muslim 100%
Somalia -- Muslim 100%
Yemen -- Muslim 100%

Unfortunately, peace is never achieved, as in these 100% states the most radical Muslims intimidate and spew hatred, and satisfy their blood lust by killing less radical Muslims, for a variety of reasons.

'Before I was nine, I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It was me against my brother; me and my     brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; the tribe against the world, and all of us against the infidel. --- Leon Uris, 'The Haj'

It is important to understand that in some countries, with well under 100% Muslim populations, such as France, the minority Muslim populations live in ghettos, within which they are 100% Muslim, and within which they live by Sharia Law. The national police do not even enter these ghettos. There are no national courts, nor schools, nor non-Muslim religious facilities. In such situations, Muslims do not integrate into the community at large. The children attend madrassas. They learn only the Koran. To even associate with an infidel is a crime punishable with death. Therefore, in some areas of certain nations, Muslim Imams and extremists exercise more power than the national average would indicate.

Today's 1.5 billion Muslims make up 22% of the world's population. But their birth rates are higher than the birth rates of Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, and all other believers. Muslims will exceed 50% of the world's population by the end of this century.

Shoddy Reporting on the Religion of Islam by ABC News Part 13

I came across a critique of the ABC News 20/20 program, “Islam: Questions and Answers.” That program originally was broadcast a year or so ago. A recent YouTube exposé points out 20 errors in the hour long supposed ‘news’ program. This is a twelfth of a series of posts series of posts that will delve into the various errors made by Diane Sawyer, Bill Weir, and guests on this program. I am not quite sure whether this was just a case of very bad or sloppy reporting, or merely a succumbing to political correctness, or outright lies about the so-called ‘religion’ of peace.

Here is the video, “Whitewashing Islam – 20 Errors on 20/20 (ABC News).” Following the video is a transcript of the next errors found in the ‘news’ production.

Error #19

[Transcription below for above video beginning at 21:50 on the video] 

Diane Sawyer seemed to believe what she is saying,

“And reminding us that all of the peaceful American Muslims are part of America’s first line of defense.”

David Wood rejects what Sawyer said, “Yes moderate peaceful Muslims are our first line of defense against those pesky extremists. Muslims are violently subjugating Christians and other religious minorities in Egypt, Iraq, Pakistan, Sudan, Nigeria, and everywhere else Muslims have power over unbelievers. Are all the peaceful moderate Muslims stepping in to protect these non-Muslims? Are these peaceful moderate Muslims the first line of defense for victims or Muslim aggression? Certainly not!

“But Diane Sawyer and ABC News are convinced that things will be different here in the U.S. where ‘moderate’ groups like C.A.I.R. [Council on American-Islamic Relations] constantly telling Muslims not to work with the police or the FBI in locating and in apprehending terrorists!

“By the way there is a bonus blunder in the clip we just saw. Notice that ABC showed us a picture Sadiq Abdul Malik who according to Diane Sawyer is one of the moderate Muslims always prepared to protect us from extremists. Sadiq supports Revolution Muslim and the Taliban. He defended (Major) Nidel Hasan after the Ft. Hood massacre. And he calls for the destruction of Israel. But, hey, I’m sure he’s quite ready to save us from all the radicals he supports!”

Showing the picture of a radical like Sadiq Abdul Malik in a discussion of the supposed behavior and actions of moderate Muslims is offensive and deceitful. Shame on ABC News for distorting the true threat of Islam in America.

Error #17

[Transcription below for above video beginning at 19:16 on the video] 

Irshad Manji continues to lie through her pearly white ‘but false’ teeth:

“The Qur’an is very, very clear that in the eyes of (the Islamic) god men and women have equal rights and equal responsibilities.”

David Wood quote three clear passages from the Qur’an in retort to Miss Manji’s deliberate misstatement of Islamic teaching, “Surah 4:32 says that men can marry up to four women have the right to marry up to four men? No.

Wood continues, “Surah 4:24 says that Muslim men can have sex with their female captives and slave girls. Do women get to have sex with their male captives and slave boys? No.  Surah 4:34 says that men can beat their wives into submission.  Do women get to beat their husbands into submission? No.

Wood concludes, “So do men and women have equal rights and responsibilities in the Qur’an? No. Men and women are about as equal as hammers and nails in the Qur’an!”

Error #18

[Transcription below for above video beginning at 20:02 on the video] 

Irshad Manji continues to revise Islam history:

“As the prophet Mohammed’s ‘beloved’ first wife, Cadiga, was a wealthy self -made entrepreneur.”

David Wood comments on the statement just uttered by Miss Manji, “Now Irsad Manji is correct when she said Cadiga was a wealthy entrepreneur. So that is not the error. The error is that Irsda uses this to prove that men and women are equal in Islam. Cadiga was a wealthy entrepreneur BEFORE Islam, BEFORE she married Mohammed, and BEFORE Mohammed received his first revelation!

“So what does her status as a businesswoman tell us about Islam? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

“If we want to learn something about women in Islam let’s listen to someone with a little more experience of life with Mohammed. In Sahih al-Bukhari 5825 Mohammed’s child-bride A’isha says, “I have not seen any woman suffering as much as the believing women.”

“According to A’isha, the mother of the faithful, the believing women, the Muslim Women, were suffering more than the pagan women. And, by the way, the context of this quotation is that the Muslim man has beaten his wife until her skin turned green! A’isha was complaining about Muslim women being brutally beaten by their Muslim husbands. She realized that non-Muslim women were much safer because their husbands didn’t have a revelation from (the Islamic) god advocating spousal abuse!

“But this doesn’t matter at all to ABC because Mohammed 15 years before he declared himself to be a prophet married a rich old widow. I guess that settles things!”

I am beginning to see more and more evidence that the god of Islam and the God of the Judeo-Christianity are not the same. Islam, with all its trappings, is dangerous and is a threat to the United States. Sharia Law can never be tolerated without abridging individual freedom.  It is a boldfaced lie for this moderate Muslim Manji to say that in Islam men and women are equal. She is either herself blinded from the truth and is deceived, or she is trying to blatantly deceive naïve Americans with her malicious statements! I firmly believe that it is the latter.

Error #15

[Transcription below for above video beginning at 16:27 on the video] 

ABC News now spotlights Reza Aslan, author of “No god, but God,” who spouts more nonsense:

“A FATWA is nothing more than just one cleric’s opinion. You could issue a FATWA that Coke is evil and that you should drink Pepsi. FAWAS are a dime a dozen. They are meaningless.”

David Wood responds to Mr. Aslan by asking and then explaining, “‘FATWAS are meaningless?’  No more than opinions?

“FATWAS are rulings by Muslim scholars based on Mohammed’s teachings. They don’t carry any additional weight beyond the quotations from Mohammed and the Qur’an.  But they are definitely not meaningless. They contain the commands of Allah and Mohammed."

Error #16

[Transcription below for above video beginning at 17:05 on the video] 

A viewer to the 20/20 program asks the question,

“Does the Qur’an teach the practice of TAKIYYA – lying to non-Muslims to advance and protect Islam?”

Disappointedly, in answer to the viewer’s insightful question, Bill Weir incredibly asserts,

“According to the ‘experts; an OBSCURE law called TAKIYYA did allow EARLY Muslims to deny their faith but only under the threat of persecution.”

David Wood comment on this glaring deception, “Recall the woman’s question, “Does the Qur’an teach the practice of TAKIYYA deceiving non Muslims?” Unlike ABC News, I’ll actually quote the Qur’an for you.

Qur’an 3:28 – Let not the believers take disbelievers for their friends in preference to believers. Who so doeth that hath no connection with Allah unless (it be) that you but guard yourselves against them, taking (as it were) security.

“According to this verse, which uses a form of the word TAKIYYA, meaning concealment, in order to guard yourself. Muslims are not allowed to be friends with non-Muslims, unless they are outnumbered and they feel like they’re in danger from a stronger adversary. That is when Muslims are allowed to pretend to be friendly. One of Islam’s greatest scholars Ibn Kathir comments,

Ibn Kathir – “In this case, such believers are allowed to show friendship outwardly, but never inwardly.”

“Abu Darda, one of Mohammed’s companions put it this way,

Abu Darda – “We smile in the face of some people, although our hearts curse them.”

“As for ABC’s claim that TAKIYYA is ‘just an obscure law for early Muslims, Mohammed’s companion Al Hasan said,

Al Hasan – “TAKIYYA is allowed until the Day of Resurrection.”

“So Muslims have a choice, they can either go with the Qur’an and Mohammed, and Mohammed’s companions and Islam’s greatest scholars and deceive us by smiling in our faces while cursing us in their hearts, or they can go with ABC’s Bill Weir, who although he knows next to NOTHING about Islam does do a remarkable impression of putty from Seinfeld …”

Just a note, the man quoted above, Reza Aslan, in a recent tweet commented,

@rezaaslan Sample Reza Aslan [tweet 12/2/2011]

Perfect! Trump moderated GOP debate proves once and for all this is not a nomination but a reality show filled with clowns & media whores.
.

Not only does Aslan seem to be pro-Islam, he practices TAKIYYA in lying about FATWAS, and he also insults America in the above tweet. I would not be at all surprised if he is doing all he can to advance the cause of Islam including the subversion and eventual destruction or subjugation of the United States for his god. By the way, I don’t believe that the god Muslims worship is the God of the Judeo-Christian scriptures. The God I know is not a self-absorbed, hateful, vengeful, as the Qur’an paints the god of Mohammed and Islam.

Shoddy Reporting on the Religion of Islam by ABC News, Part 10

I came across a scathing critique of the ABC News 20/20 program, “Islam: Questions and Answers.” That program originally was broadcast a year or so ago. A recent YouTube exposé points out 20 errors in the hour long supposed ‘news’ program. This is a tenth of a series of posts series of posts that will delve into the various errors made by Diane Sawyer, Bill Weir, and guests on this program. I am not quite sure whether this was just a case of very bad or sloppy reporting, or merely a succumbing to political correctness, or outright lies about the so-called ‘religion’ of peace.

Error #14

[Transcription below for above video beginning at 15:18 on the video] 

Bill Weir of ABC News spouts more nonsense:

“Dictators combine that resentment with a PERVERTED version of Islam and manipulated their people with a ‘holy’ hated of America.”

David Wood rejects this lie, “‘Dictators use a PERVERTED version of Islam to incite hatred against America.’  Let me break this down for you, because a drugged monkey could figure this one out. Listen to the Qur’an:

(Surah) Qur’an 5:33 – The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Apostle and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified, or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides, or they should be imprisoned.

“Here we have various penalties for making mischief in a Muslim land depending on the severity of the offense. The worst form of mischief-making is bring a non-Muslim military into a Muslim country. Has the United States done that? Yes. What is the penalty, according to the Qur’an? Death. Do Muslim leaders need to pervert Islam in order to fuel hatred against America? No. They is just needs the Qur’an!”

Based on this teaching of Mohammed, Representative Ron Paul is correct when he says America’s physical presence in the Middle East incites and causes the violence that has been unleashed on the U.S. and its military. But Bill Weir is wrong when he calls the current interpretation of Mohammed’s clear teaching “a perverted form” of Islam. No, it is the ‘pure’ and intentional interpretation of Islam. The teaching itself and not its application by dictators, I would argue, is perverted.

Moreover, the Islamic principles applied by dictators, like King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia, or President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, or by any other Islamic terrorists, or even by subversive, seditious Imams ‘serving’ in American mosques or prisons, are just being true and obedient to Mohammed’s dictates. Therefore, there is no perverted version of Islam, it is what it is, Islam.

Bill Weir introduces Tawfik Hamid, Senior Fellow with the Potomac Institute:

“He says best sellers, like “The Way of the Muslim,” are often quoted in place of the Qur’an and contain ‘dangerous’ ideas.”

Tawfik Hamid comments,

“…which means the blood money or compensation for killing of the disbeliever is half of the blood money of the Muslim man. When you devalue the life of the non-Muslim that is the root cause of the problem. Terrorism is the last step.”

David Wood responds, “Now this is just hilarious. Radical Muslims are quoting books in place of the Qur’an! And they’re using these modern books to justify killing. What is the real source of terrorism? Devaluing the lives of non-Muslims by saying that the blood money for killing a non-Muslim is half as much as the blood money for killing a Muslim. How do these modern Muslim authors ever come up with such a horrible teaching? THEY GOT IT FROM MOHAMMED!

Sunan Abu Dawid 45:27 – The value of the bloodwit in the time of the Apostle of Allah was eight hundred dinars or eight thousand dirhams, and the bloodwit for the People of the Book (Jews and Christians) was half that for Muslims.

“Are you catching this? According to ABC News the real source of jihad and terrorism isn’t Mohammed’s teachings. No, the violence springs from modern books from modern Muslim authors, who as you just saw, are getting their views directly from Mohammed’s teachings!

Error #13

[Transcription below for above video beginning at 14:42 on the video] 

ABC’s Bill Weir makes another fantastic assertion:

Radicals have used these murder and martyr myths…

David Wood disagrees using Islamic texts to refute this obvious falsehood, ““Murder and martyr myths,” all this talk about jihad and fighting unbelievers and martyrdom it is all based on MYTHS. I guess that is why Mohammed said in

Sahih al Bukhari 2797 – By Him in whose hand my soul is! I would love to be martyred in Allah’s cause and then come back to life again and then get martyred and then come back to life again, and then get martyred and then come back to life again and then get martyred.

“Just myths?”

Apparently ABC News and its assorted ‘experts’ like Mr. Hamid are trying to divert attention away from the real and root cause of jihad and terrorism.  They’ll blame modern day authors and they even try conjure up the notion that martyrdom in Islam is a myth. Wow, afraid of the truth, are we? Mohammed’s clear and adulterated teachings are the source and the driving motivation of Islamic terrorism in the world today. Al Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, Muslim Brotherhood, and many subversive Imams in American mosques today, all embrace the teachings of the prophet of Allah.

Isn’t this sort of like the current occupier of the White House blaming his predecessor, blaming the tsunami in Japan, blaming ATMs, blaming Congress, blaming the GOP for the economic crisis? When, truth be known and faced, he had such a great part in expanding, in worsening. He refuses to take any responsibility for his failed economic policies and actions which contributed so greatly to the problem. Likewise, the appeasers of Islam such as ABC News ‘reporters’ refuse to acknowledge that the teachings and doctrines is Islam are flawed, fomenting, and often fatal for unbelievers.

Shoddy Reporting on the Religion of Islam by ABC News, Part 8

I came across a critique of the ABC News 20/20 program, “Islam: Questions and Answers.”

That flawed program originally was broadcast a year or so ago. A recent YouTube exposé points out more than 20 errors in the hour long supposed ‘news’ program. This is a eighth of a series of posts that will delve into the various errors made by Diane Sawyer, Bill Weir, and guests on this program. I am not quite sure whether this was just a case of very bad or sloppy reporting, or merely a succumbing to political correctness, or outright lies about the so-called ‘religion’ of peace.

[Transcription below for above video beginning at 10:26 on the video] 

Bill Weir makes the following unfounded assertion:

“And the Qur’an only calls for jihad against invaders threatening a Muslim home.”

Annoyed by yet another misrepresentation, David Wood states, “I’ll tell you what Bill, I’ll read the verse and you tell me where you are getting confused.

Surah 9:29 – Fight (whom? Invaders? No) those who believe not in Allah [so this is based on fighting people based on what they believe] nor the last Day, nor hold that forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the Religion of Truth, from among the People of the Book (that’s Jews and Christians), until they pay the JUZYAH with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

“Does that sound like it has ANYTHING to do with fighting invaders? No. You know why? Because it has nothing to do with fighting invaders. It’s a command to fight unbelievers. When this was first ‘revealed,’ Muslims began their long tradition of OFFENSIVE JIHAD – fighting to subjugate all non-Muslims!

“You will not learn any of this from ABC News, though."

Error #11

[Transcription below for above video beginning at 11:54 on the video] 

Bill Weir now interviews Ms. Irshad Manji. Manji is the Director of the Moral Courage Project at New York University. He asks her,

“Is there anything in the Qur’an that promises the 72 virgins for the ‘holy’ martyrs?”

Irshad Manji, a thoroughly modern Muslim, straight faced answer is just outrageous,

“I don’t see any evidence of it in the Qur’an for the pledge of 72 virgins. This ‘notion’ of the virgins actually comes from a mistranslation with the ‘real’ translation being 72 ‘raisins.’

David Wood studiously reports, “There are actually 2 separate errors here [11A and 11B!].

“Irshad Manji seems to think that the number of 72 comes from the Qur’an. It doesn’t. it comes fromthe Hadith.

“Then she tell us the Qur’an doesn’t say Muslims will get virgins in paradise. It says that they’ll get ‘RAISINS!’ This is a mangled edition of an argument by Chrisoph Luxenberg.

"The main problem with Irshad Manji’s claims what the Qur’an says about these houtis. The Qur’an says these Muslims will marry the houtis. It says that the houtis will be chaste and beautiful. It says the houtis will have beautiful eyes and large breasts, and that they’ll love their husbands".

See Qur’an 44:51-54, 52:20, 55:54-56, 55:70-74, 56:22-24, 56:35-38, 78:31-34.

"It’s fine with me if Irshad Manji wants to translate ‘houtis as (meaning) ‘raisins,’ but if she does, Islam has got a lot creepier!"

Miss Manji, this past June released a book with the almost laughable title, “Allah, Liberty and Love, The Courage to Reconcile Faith and Freedom.” Based on everything this modern moderate Muslim Madame muffed by her misstatements about Islam above, the book has got to be classified as fiction. One wonders if this woman has even read the Qur’an and other Islamic documents. Or, if she has read the ‘sacred’ texts, why she wants to so distort and to hide the truth of Islam from the American people. In addition, I never associated Liberty and Love with the god of Islam. However, Islam and its god are oppressive, tyrannical, and hateful, inspiring world-wide terrorism, but Love, Liberty, Freedom, Faith? I don’t think so.

For those curious about learning more about Miss Manji (I don’t know why anyone would), Amazon.com offers a bio of this liberal and revisionist Muslim:

(Irshad Manj) “is a Canadian author, journalist and an advocate of "reform and progressive" interpretation of Islam. Manji is director of the Moral Courage Project at the Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service at New York University, which aims to teach young leaders to "challenge political correctness, intellectual conformity and self-censorship." Manji is a well-known critic of traditional mainstream Islam and was described by The New York Times as "Osama bin Laden's worst nightmare". Manji’s most recent book, Allah, Liberty and Love was released in June 2011 in the US, Canada and other countries. On Manji's website, the book is described: "Allah, Liberty and Love shows all of us how to reconcile faith and freedom in a world seething with repressive dogmas…”

The only repressive dogma seething and bringing terror throughout the world today is theocratic Islam, the political-militaristic-religious system!

Shoddy Reporting on the Religion of Islam by ABC News, Part 7

I came across an excellent critique of the ABC News 20/20 program, “Islam: Questionsand Answers.” That program originally was broadcast a year or so ago. A recent YouTube exposé points out 20 errors in the hour long supposed ‘news’ program. This is a seventh of a series of posts that will delve into the various errors made by Diane Sawyer, Bill Weir, and guests on this program. I am not quite sure whether this was just a case of very bad or sloppy reporting, or merely a succumbing to political correctness, or propagating outright lies about the so-called ‘religion’ of peace.

Here is the video, “Whitewashing Islam – 20 Errors on 20/20 (ABC News).” Following the video is a transcript of the next two errors found in the ‘news’ production.
.

Error #8

[Transcription below for above video beginning at 08:58 on the video] 

Now ABC’s Bill Weir gets in the act. The two quotes below are from the 20/20 program and not from the Whitewash video.

[“…Whether the Qur’an urges kindness in the first half (of the Qur’an)… and violent jihad in the second… Scholars agree that Mohammed’s words turn more militant later in his life because at that point in history his tribe was in a bloody war.”]

[Eliza Griswald, author of “The Tenth Parallel,”  a guest of the 20/20 program at this point adds, “He’s (Mohammed) under siege by his own people, he becomes a warrior, a statesman, and a religious leader all at once.”]

Weir asks Griswald the following,

“Is it true though that those words (recorded in the second half of the Qur’an, then supersede what he said earlier (recorded in the first half of the Qur’an)?”

Griswald replies,

“Not at all.” [in the 20/20 program itself she also says, “In fact this is one of the hottest debates inside of Islam today…”]

David Wood paints a very different picture of what is termed abrogation’ saying, “In Surah 2:106 and Surah 16:101 the Qur’an says that later teachings abrogate earlier teachings…

“Mohammed said that later teachings abrogate earlier teaching…

“All classical Muslim scholars said that later teaching abrogate earlier teaching.

"Who challenges the doctrine of abrogation? ABC News! So there you go, 14 centuries of Muslim scholarship and reality, itself get tossed out the window.”

Error #9

[Transcription below for above video beginning at 09:34 on the video] 

ABC’s Bill Weir purports,

“While a fundamentalist Muslim follow Mohammed’s instructions to fight the infidels, moderate scholars agree the infidels he was talking about were specific enemies that have been dead for 1300 years.”

David Wood exclaims, “Wow! Mohammed’s violent teachings only apply to a few enemies for a certain period of time. Of course Mohammed didn’t interpret it that way. The rightly guided Caliphs didn’t interpret it that way. Mohammed’s companions didn’t interpret it that way. Centuries of Muslim leaders and scholars didn’t interpret it that way.

“But none of that matters, because world-renown Qur’an scholar and theologian, Bill Weir, tells us that when the Qur’an says to Muslims fight those who believe not in Allah, it doesn’t really mean what it says. Maybe we can get Bill to write his own commentary. He could explain why 14 centuries of Muslims didn’t understand the Qur’an at all."

The so-called ABC News journalists are hell-bent on presenting a false picture of Islam. They are succeeding in propagandizing America as to an unreal version of Islam. They quote sources that are diametrically opposed by the historic record. They do this much like the modern historians have revised the influence of Christianity out of the founding of our nation. They are intent on purging the Judeo-Christian God and elevating false gods or no God in our culture. The 20/20 program is a prime example of media malpractice and manipulation of the masses.
