Mr. Walid Shoebat, Former Member PLO Faith Brigade: When the Westerners think of religion, whether it’s Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, and all the isms in the world, Westerners think that it’s a personal issue. A Buddhist will go to the temple and peacefully worship, whatever he does, meditates, contemplates; a Jew goes to a synagogue and does his mitzvahs, his good deeds; a Muslim goes to the mosque, pays Zakat, alms, or go to the pilgrimage at Hajj in Mecca; or a Christian goes to church on Sunday. They think it’s a personal issue, religion is a personal issue. So when they look at Islam, they compare Islam with the way they understand religions, and that’s the first mistake. Islam is not a religion for personal use. Islam is Shari’ah law. Islam is a form of government to the world, first, then to personal application. It is not just how you pray or pray towards Mecca, it’s how you dress. You dress in an Arab culture. You speak Arabic. You can’t go to heaven unless you pray in Arabic. You can’t read the Qu’ran in English and expect to get good deeds to go to heaven. Read the Qu’ran in Arabic. It becomes an imperialistic system, that everybody, now, must speak Arabic, think Arabic, practice the religion in Arabic. It’s a form of law, not just in how you eat, but how you get married, how you deal with your government, how you deal with your military, how you deal with the youth, how you deal with women, every aspect of your life becomes Islam. Everything’s Islam.”
Answer: Dear Sir, much of what follows in your video is only repetitious. That will help me keep my answers brief. I have just responded to Mr. Trifkovic that, indeed, Islam is a beautiful System of Life. But, can you confine the Golden Rule within the Church? If there was truly a Separation of Church and State, why did the Roman Catholic Hitler fight in the name of God? Dear Sir, Arab-ism has not yet left you a bit. You know that hardly 10% of Muslims speak Arabic. What percentage of Muslims in the world knows Arabic, thinks Arabic and dresses like the Arabs do? Where does the Qur’an command the Muslims to adopt the Arabic language and Arab culture? What is wrong with sticking to harmless geographically diverse cultural traits? Islam affectionately encourages unity in diversity.
5:48 … For each community among you We have appointed certain rites and a traced-out way. When God wills, He could make you all one single community. But He decided to let you test yourselves by what (potentials) He has granted you. So, outdo one another in doing good to the society. To God you will all return, and He will then make you understand wherein you differed.

Sahih Al Bukari, Vol. 2, Book 23, Hadith 413:
“The Jews brought to the Prophet a man and a woman from amongst them who had [adultery] illegal sexual intercourse. The Prophet ordered all of them to be stoned [to death] near the place of offering the funeral prayers beside the mosque.”
Answer: All of them or just that couple? Jews had brought the case to the exalted Prophet and requested the decision on the basis of the Torah. Please note that the Torah ordains stoning for adultery and death for homosexuality while the Qur’an prescribes 100 lashes to each adulterer and ordinary punishment to homosexuals.
Deuteronomy:
If a bride has no blood on the bed-sheet
22:13 If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her,
22:14 —-, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid:
22:20 But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel:
22:21 Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: —- put evil away from among you.
Leviticus:
20:10 And the man that committeth adultery with another man’s wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.
20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. [What about the ‘gay rights’]
The Qur’an:
24:2 The adulteress and the adulterer, flog each one of them with a hundred stripes. ..
It is easy to see that if the Jews had sought the Qur’an’s decision, the convicted ones would have received only stripes. Despite all the circumstances given in the history above, it is likely that the story might be a fabrication since the exalted Prophet would be the last man to dispense the barbaric punishment of stoning which, incidentally, is not prescribed in the Book for any crime..
4:16 If the two of you spread such immorality or lewdness in the society, punish both of them (as determined by the appropriate court of law). But if they repent and mend their ways, leave them alone. God is the Acceptor of repentance, Merciful. (This includes homosexuality, male and female.)

Sahih Al Bukari, Vol. 7, Book 62, Hadith 88: “The Prophet wrote the [marriage contract] with Aisha while she was six years old and consummated the marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine more years (i.e. until his death).
Answer: We have discussed before that the Hadith conjecture came into being 250-450 years after the exalted Prophet, and that too on hearsay – He heard it from him who heard it from this who heard it from that and so on. The Muhadditheen (Hadith collectors) did not have a scrap of paper before them! So, how much credibility could such reports have? We may consider only those Ahadith worthy of reflection that do not defy the Qur’an.
The Qur’an ordains that a man and a woman must meet the following criteria before they can get married:
1 – Ability to grant free consent.
2 – Sufficient age and maturity to sign a solemn legal contract.
3 - Sufficient age and maturity to understand and manage one’s financial matters.
[See Qur’an 4]
How could the Prophet defy the Revelation? Won’t he lose all credibility and even his noble companions if he did that?
Contrary to the Imamist propaganda, the exalted Prophet had no more than one wife at a time. And Ayesha was a sister, not daughter, of Abu Bakr. The Prophet (S) did not marry for three years after Khadijah’s demise in Makkah three years before Hijrah. Hazrat Ayesha was the widow of a martyr, Saleh bin Saleh Al-’Ataib. She was 48 years old at the time of marriage to the exalted Prophet. The wedding took place in 622 CE when Muhammad (S) was 52 years old.
[Kitab-e-Dalail-e-Nabawwut Syedna Muhammad (S), by Abdul Jabbar Fatimi, written 150 years before Tabari, the first ever ‘canonized’ historian. Azwaaj-in-Nabi wal-Ashaab, by Sheikh Hammad bin Hakam. The rest is nothing but slanderous imagination of the Zoroastrian “Imam” Tabari, the Jewish biographer Ibn Ishaq and his Parsi follower Ibn Hisham]
Mr. Robert Spencer, Director, Dhimmiwatch.org In no way is Islamic Sharia, Islamic government, compatible with Western understandings of human rights and freedom of conscience. Traditional Islam forbids conversion from Islam, forbids anyone to leave Islam. There’s no way out. And, it forbids Muslims and non-Muslims to live as equals in society; and mandates the second-class status of non-Muslims, forbidding them to hold authority over Muslims, forbidding them to hold certain jobs as a result; and even mandated in history that houses of worship, of Jews and Christians, were neither to be built or repaired, making communities relegated to a perpetual state of decline.”
Answer: Dear Sir, the manmade, “Imamist” Shari’ah is not compatible even with Qur’an. It is based on conjecture as we have seen once again in the question above. Traditional Islam in the hands of the Muslim clergy is another name for the Shari’ah which the Muslims themselves hate and will throw out of the window. Conversion: We have already seen the freedom of religion granted by the Qur’an.
[2] Houses of Worship, Temples: Please check 22:40. You will see some of the finest non-Muslim temples in Muslim countries. The non-existent “Dhimmitude” fabrication has been described in detail in the last few Rebuttals.

The Noble Koran 5:51:
“O you who believe, take not the Jews and the Christians as Auliya (friends, protectors, helpers, etc.) they are but Auliya to one another. And if any amongst you takes them as Auliya, then surely he is one of them.”
Answer:
Did Britain and America depend on Italy and Japan to protect them against the Nazis?
5:51 O You who have chosen to be graced with belief! (Since they deny the Final Revelation that is the Constitution of your state,) do not take the Jews and Christians as your allies. They are allies of one another. He among you who takes them for allies is one of them. God does not guide those who choose to do wrong. [Awliya = Protecting friends. This verse points to taking allies on a national scale, and not to individual friends. See 60]
Mr. Serge Trifkovic, Foreign Affairs Editor, Chronicles Magazine: It is not possible for a non-Muslim living in a Muslim society to invoke his civil rights, or human rights. That would be independent, or separate, from the Sharia concept. He is expected to submit to Sharia willingly, and if he accepts his dhimmitude, the position of a dhimmi, he will be a protected person. A protected person is someone who is, in fact, a willing subordinate to the Muslim overlords.”
Answer: Dear Sir, please tell me the name of one country where non-Muslims are called Dhimmies and where they are selectively denied human rights and are considered as “willing subordinates to the Muslim overlords.” It is true that there is much room for improvement in the human rights area in some Muslim countries because of violation of the Qur’an. Fortunately, reforms are taking place fast thanks to public demand, NGOs and human rights groups. Saudi Arabia is the only country that generally enforces the deplorable Shari’ah law on its residents. But even there, non-Muslims enjoy complete freedom from the Shari’ah laws except for violent crimes, drug trafficking and modesty in clothing. It appears that women will soon be allowed to drive a car.

The Life of Muhammad (p. 368):
We saluted the prophet as he stood praying, and he came out to us, and we told him that we had killed God’s enemy. He spat upon our comrade’s wounds, and both he and we returned to our families. Our attack upon God’s enemy cast terror among the Jews, and there was no Jew in Medinah who did not fear for his life.”
Answer: The same history tells us that the Jews in the City-state of Madinah enjoyed all rights as citizens and they were the most affluent people conducting their businesses and agriculture in complete freedom and security. Please see the Madinah Charter a link to which will be provided in a few days. The Jews, in violation of the Madinah Charter and peace treaties, repeatedly sided with the Makkan troops attacking the peaceful Muslims of Madinah. That is when they were finally exiled. The compassionate Prophet allowed them to take their belongings with them.
What authenticity would a fabricated Hadith carry before the Unassailable Qur’an? [59]
