Rebuttal to Craig Winn "Prophet of Doom: Chapter 2" article:

This article is a rebuttal to Craig Winn's article that is located at:   http://www.prophetofdoom.net/chapter2.html.

Important Note to the Reader:

Craig Winn purposely twisted and modified the English translations that he used!  He changes words in translations and uses non-Muslim ones.  I've noticed this a lot through his translations of the Noble Verses that he used from the Noble Quran.

List of Craig Winn's fabricated lies and deliberate alteration of quotes, WITH CLEAR-CUT PROOFS!

Before we get into the detailed rebuttal of this article, let's look at the following from his Bible:

Having said all of that, let us now proceed:

He wrote:

CHAPTER 2

DEVILS, DECEPTIONS & BACKRUBS

“Because Allah afflicted Eve, all the women of the
world menstruate and they are stupid.”

    You may be wondering why Muhammad based his new religion on old Bible stories, and why he found it necessary to alter them. Muslim scholars insist that the characters and events, at least up to the point of departure, are similar because Yahweh and Allah are the same god. Unfortunately, that makes less sense than the sun falling out of a chariot and angelic wings blotting out the moon. If Allah is Yahweh, simply translate the Old Testament into Arabic and be done with it. We have proved that the Bible has not changed with the passage of time, so, if it was divinely inspired—as Muhammad claims—it must still be true.
    But as we discovered in the last chapter, Muhammad was allergic to truth. Apparently, it didn’t serve his interests. It’s hard to imagine a man speaking more ignorantly or lying more transparently. The fact that Muslims are wholly reliant upon his testimony for the entirety of their religion and the very existence of their “god,” puts them in a precarious position. Islam is on life support and we haven’t even left Paradise yet.
    Thus far, the Qur’an and Hadith have demonstrated that Muhammad wasn’t very smart, and his god wasn’t any help. That much should be evident by now. So lacking creativity and inspiration, Muhammad turned to the best-documented, best-known monotheistic religion, Judaism, to make his personal quest seem religious. So far, so good. Team Islam usurped Jewish ideas, terms, names, characters, and events. Muhammad penciled himself in as a fellow prophet—as the lead act on the marquee. He cast Allah in the role of Yahweh. He replaced Jews with Arabs and started telling Bible stories. But being illiterate, he got them all fouled up.
    The Jews laughed themselves silly. Rather than accepting the self-promoting prophet, they teased him for his errant portrayals of their history. But aspiring tyrants never admit to being wrong. Rather than correct his revisionist history, Muhammad claimed supremacy. He said, “If you reject my message, you will die.” Emboldened by the militants he eventually came to command, he twisted the stories further in an effort to make his wanton behavior look prophetic. Biblical accounts were contorted to the point they became nonsensical in the context of the time and place they actually occurred. The Jews, in defense of their scriptures, mocked Muhammad all the more. Enraged, Allah’s Messenger struck back, calling them donkeys, apes, and pigs. He ordered his followers to “kill every Jew.” He’d show them who was right and who was wrong. He’d prove who was godly and who was not.
    When you view this continuing saga in that light, and from this perspective, even stories of a talking sun wearing clothing, setting in a muddy spring surrounded by extraterrestrials becomes relevant. And if there’s a better excuse, I mean explanation, for this malarkey, I mean alternate view, I’d love to hear it. For if there is something in Islam that makes sense, something that was actually divine—we might use it to reach Muslims, reason with them, and keep them from killing us.
    By way of confession, I came to see the Bible as the inspired word of Yahweh because of the prophecies it contained. I recognized that it was impossible for a 2,000 to 4,000 year-old book to accurately foretell today’s events if it were not authored by a spirit who existed outside of time. You do not have to share my view, however, to understand that Islam disproved itself when it agreed with my conclusion. Two “inspired” books from the same deity cannot be contradictory to the point of being opposites.
    Muhammad’s dependence on the Bible requires us to compare his text with the original. To understand Islam, we must determine why they are so different. I believe that the answer is obvious. Yahweh’s spirit authored one and Lucifer inspired the other. Yet, once again, you do not need to agree with me. You may view Muhammad’s demonic behavior and the motivation for his deceitful scriptures metaphorically. His demons can be seen as our guttural nature, human depravity in full bloom. It doesn’t require a devil to seduce covetous men into deceiving others to gain power, sex, and money.
    Now for another confession. Any attempt to reorganize Islam chronologically is perilous. The religion was founded upon the claim that Abraham had a religion, that he built the Ka’aba and established Islamic rituals. With most of his Qur’an pilfered from the Torah, Muhammad professed that Adam, Noah, Abraham, Lot, Moses, and Jesus were Muslim prophets, setting the stage for Islam long before he was born. The longer Muhammad lived, the more he twisted their stories, making them his own. So if I present the evidence in the order Muhammad actually made his assertions, we’d have to jump in and out of history. But if we use a historical timeline—the Islamic version of creation through the twisting of the patriarchs, the immorality of Mecca, ending with the violence of Medina—we’ll have to review Qur’anic scriptures and Islamic Hadith that were revealed last, first.
    Tabari and Ishaq, as historian and biographer, use the same chronological approach I am using. Thus every surah we reference early in our narratives was revealed late in Muhammad’s mission. Adam and Satan dominate Islam’s genesis, yet none of the supporting Qur’anic verses are from the first score of surahs in order of their alleged revelation. I share this to keep you from jumping to the conclusion that Muhammad was a well-schooled religious man, possessing a sufficient understanding of the Bible to plagiarize it effectively at the outset of his career. In reality, he would not come to know the Torah until he came to know the Jews. And he would never understand the Gospels.

My response:

First of all, the issue of the Noble Quran's chronology had been thoroughly addressed at:

www.answering-christianity.com/chapter6_rebuttal.htm#chronological_order

http://www.answering-christianity.com/quran/textual.htm

You mentioned three points:

1-  Muhammad plagiarized or copied from the Bible, as you elaborated more in the previous chapter.

2-  Muhammad talked about UFOs.

3-  Muhammad forced Islam upon the Muslims by ordering for killing the apostates.

Here is my response to your two points:

1-  As I clearly proved in my previous rebuttal to your previous chapter, the Bible contains OVERWHELMING and serious contradictions in its historical accounts, as well as corruptions and lack of evidence and invalidity to the authenticity and truthfulness of its books and gospels.  As the Bible's own theologians admit, most of its books and gospels were written BY MYSTERIOUS PEOPLE!  No one knows if these people were Prophets or not.  The Bible is a big joke when it comes to consistencies and validity and authenticity of text.

As to Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him "plagiarizing" or copying from the Bible, that is a ridiculous lie that had been refuted so many times before!  While it is true that Allah Almighty did talk about the People of Israel and their Prophets, which included some stories that exist in the Bible, but most of the Noble Quran is NOT ABOUT THEM!  They hardly cover 20 percent of the entire Noble Quran!   Most of the Noble Quran consists of the Noble Verses that are concerned about the belief in the Absolute One and True Living GOD Almighty, and associating no partners (idols, gods, or humans) with Him.  Here are few sample Noble Verses from the Noble Quran:

"Say: He is God, the One and Only; God, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him.  (The Noble Quran, 112:1-4)"

"Then Praise be to Allah, Lord of the heavens and Lord of the earth- Lord and Cherisher of all the worlds!  To Him be Glory throughout the heavens and the earth: and He is Exalted in Power, Full of Wisdom!.  (The Noble Quran, 45:36-37)" 

"Say: 'O People of the Book (i.e., Jews and Christians)!   Come to common terms as between us and you:  That we worship none but Allah; that we associate no partners with Him; that we erect not, from among ourselves, Lords and patrons other than Allah.'  If then they turn back, say ye: 'Bear witness that we (at least) are Muslims (bowing to Allah's Will).'  (The Noble Quran, 3:64)"

Back to the point about Prophet Muhammad copying from the Bible, as I mentioned in my previous rebuttal, Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him did not copy anything from the Bible.  It is true that Allah Almighty talked about some stories regarding the People of Israel and some events that happened in the past which exist in the Bible, but Allah Almighty's account in the Noble Quran came to correct the errors, contradictions and corruptions in the Bible and to demonstrate that the Bible is corrupt.

Just because the Bible contains history in it and was written by many authors, it doesn't make it an entirely Divine and Perfect Holy Book.  There exists OVERWHELMING contradictions and errors in historical accounts and claims in the Bible, as well as the validity and authenticity of the books and gospels that make up the Bible of today, because they were written by MYSTERIOUS people; people who are not known to us today, and who were not even Prophets and Messengers from GOD Almighty!  Consider the following few examples that consist of historical contradictions in the Bible:

It is quite obvious that Christians today believe in third party authors' words as the words of GOD.  This is a very serious corruption in the Bible that must be taken into deep consideration by the Bible's followers.  Please visit "Is the Bible the true word of GOD?" to see a full and complete paper about the logical corruptions in the Bible, along with many Christian famous priests and ministers opinions that agree with the Bible's corruption.  I have their personal quotes in that site.

After that, please visit:  Prophet Muhammad was foretold in many places in the Bible in both the Old and New Testaments.

2-  As to UFOs, while you tried to be quite silly about it and twist Noble Verse's 18:86 meanings, which has nothing to do with UFOs, but for your lousy information, UFOs do seem to clearly exist in the Noble Quran:

From www.answering-christianity.com/ufo.htm:

UFOs and Space Shuttles were explicitly mentioned in the Noble Quran!

Let us look at the following Noble Verses from the Noble Quran:

"And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the living creatures that He has scattered through them: and He has power to gather them together when He wills.  (The Noble Quran, 42:29)"

This Noble Verse was forwarded to me by brother Frank (www.why-christians-convert-to-islam.com), who have embraced Islam; may Allah Almighty always be pleased with him.

As we see, "through them" includes the living creatures in both the Universe (heavens) and the earth.  Please visit: http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/7906/ for more details and proofs.  This link too was forwarded to me by brother Frank.

Also, "gather them together when He wills" seems to suggest that Allah Almighty would allow communication, finding and meeting with those scattered creations in the Universe (UFOs in other words) when "He wills".

Allah Almighty clearly talked about what we call today "space shuttles":  

"O ye assembly of Jinns and men! If it be ye can pass beyond the zones of the heavens and the earth, pass ye! not without authority shall ye be able to pass!  (The Noble Quran, 55:33)"

When Allah Almighty revealed to Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him the Noble Quran 1500 years ago, there were no flying air planes or man-made objects invented.  Yet Allah Almighty talked about humans passing the zones of heavens by saying "If it be ye can pass....., pass ye! not without authority"   What is that authority?  It is the Will of Allah Almighty of course, and the physical "space shuttles".

"Say: None in the heavens or on earth, except God, knows what is hidden: nor can they perceive when they shall be raised up (for Judgment).  (The Noble Quran, 27:65)"

"Not one of the beings in the heavens and the earth but must come to God) Most Gracious as a servant. He does take an account of them (all), and hath numbered them (all) exactly. And everyone of them will come to Him singly on the Day of Judgment. On those who believe and work deeds of righteousness, will (God) Most Gracious bestow love.  (The Noble Quran, 19:93-96)"

Noble Verses 27:65 and 19:93-96 clearly suggest that there are beings existing in the Universe in places other than earth.

"Behold, thy Lord said to the angels: 'I will create a vicegerent on Earth.' They said: 'Wilt Thou place therein one who will make mischief therein and shed blood?- whilst we do celebrate Thy praises and glorify Thy holy (name)?' He said: 'I know what ye know not.'  (The Noble Quran, 2:30)"

When I read this Noble Verse the first time after I watched citing of UFOs on TV, I pondered upon it for a while.  If Adam peace be upon him was the very first human out of all Mankind that GOD Almighty ever created, then what caused the Angels peace be upon them to be concerned about Adam's creation and say "Wilt Thou place therein one who will make mischief therein and shed blood?"??

How did they know that we humans were going to do mischief on Earth and shed blood??

Also, notice that Allah Almighty said that He was going to "create a vicegerent on Earth" only!  So, it could very well be that Adam peace be upon him was the first human being ever existed on Earth, but not the first human being ever created.

"It is He Who hath created for you all things that are on Earth; Moreover His design comprehended the heavens, for He gave order and perfection to the seven firmaments; and of all things He hath perfect knowledge.  (The Noble Quran, 2:29)"

"He Who created the seven heavens one above another: No want of proportion wilt thou see in the Creation of (God) Most Gracious. So turn thy vision again: seest thou any flaw?  (The Noble Quran, 67:3)"

"God is He Who created seven Firmaments and of the Earth a similar number. Through the midst of them (all) descends His Command: that ye may know that God has power over all things, and that God comprehends, all things in (His) Knowledge.  (The Noble Quran, 65:12)"

In the above Noble Verses we clearly see that Allah Almighty created seven Heavens or probably Galaxies!  If we are living in one Galaxy, and there are six other Galaxies like the one we are living in, then it is very highly possible that there are other planets that have living humans in them as well.

Notice carefully that Allah Almighty said in Noble Verse 65:12 "God is He Who created seven Firmaments and of the Earth a similar number...."  This could mean that there are six other Earths beside ours.

It could also mean that the Earth is made of seven layers as was Geologically proven.   Please visit The mention of creation of Earth and Iron in the Noble Quran perfectly matches our scientific discoveries today.

3-  As to why Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him ordered the killing of apostates (those who desert Islam), I have covered this topic in great details at:  Freedom of Religion is allowed in Islam!  Islam totally disagree executing those who desert Islam.  Islam also totally disagrees with killing any non-Muslim Missionaries trying to spread their false religion in Muslim States.  The reason why Prophet Muhammad ordered the killing of apostates was because during Islam's partial and weak times, many of the hypocrites from the Jews and Christians wanted to poison Islam and the Muslims' faith by pretending to embrace Islam and then desert it to create an impression among Muslims that Islam is not worth adopting:

"A section of the People of the Book (Jews and Christians) say:  Believe in the morning what is revealed to the believers (Muslims), but reject it at the end of the day; perchance they may (themselves) turn back (from Islam).  (The Noble Quran, 3:72)"

To protect Islam from such Satanic attempts done by a group of the people of the book (Jews and Christians), Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him ordered the death of those who enter Islam and then leave it.  This temporary law that was put by our Prophet had stopped the hypocrites from the People of the Book who carried so much hatred toward Islam to enter Islam and then desert it afterwards.

When Islam became complete and stable in the hearts of the Muslims, Allah Almighty later on NULLIFIED the temporary law of killing apostates that was put by the Prophet through these Noble Verses:

"Let there be no compulsion (forcing others) in religion:  Truth stands out clear from error...(The Noble Quran, 2:256)"

"Say, 'The truth is from your Lord': Let him who will believe, and let him who will, reject (it): for the wrong doers We have prepared a Fire whose (smoke and flames), like the walls and roof of a tent, will hem them in: if they implore relief they will be granted water like melted brass, that will scald their faces, how dreadful the drink! How uncomfortable a couch to recline on!  (The Noble Quran, 18:29)"

"If it had been thy Lord's will, they would all have believed,- all who are on earth! wilt thou then compel mankind, against their will, to believe!  (The Noble Quran, 10:99)"

I've written a detailed article regarding this subject that clearly and irrefutably proves that Islam today honors the freedom of choice and religion:

From www.answering-christianity.com/apostates.htm:

Freedom of religion in Islam for both Muslims and non-Muslims:

The sections of this article are:

- Who are the Apostates in Islam?
- The absolute freedom of religion in Islam.
- So how come Muslim Fundamentalists execute those who desert Islam then?
- My rebuttal to the Muslim Fanatics about the historical Muslims' battles
   with the Apostates.
- Does "Islam" really mean to force someone to Islam or else kill him?
- Conclusion.

Who are the Apostates in Islam?

Apostates or Renegades are those who decide to leave the religion of Islam.  There is a widely prevailing misconception about this issue.  It is generally thought that the Holy Quran (The Muslims Holy Scripture) provides the death sentence for those who desert the religion of Islam.  There is not the least ground for such a supposition.  The Holy Quran speaks repeatedly of people going back to unbelief after believing, but never once does it say that they should be killed or punished.  Although the Holy Quran does provide the death sentence for some situations such as putting a murderer to death, but it never provided death sentence or ordered the death of those who leave Islam.

Let us look at Noble Verse 2:217 "They ask thee (Mohammed) Concerning fighting In the Prohibited Month.  Say:  Fighting therein Is a grave (offence); but graver is it In the sight of Allah to prevent access to the path of Allah, to deny Him, to prevent access to the sacred Mosque, and drive out its members.  Tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter.  Nor will they cease fighting you until they turn you back from your faith if they can.  And if any of you turn back from their faith (Islam) and die in unbelief, their works will bear no fruit in this life and in the hereafter; they will be companions of the fire and will abide therein."  Here in this Holy Verse we see that Allah Almighty talks about those who leave Islam, and promises them punishment in the day of judgment.  Allah Almighty doesn't order the death of those people.

Let also look at Noble Verse 5:54 "O ye who believe!  If any from among you turn back from his faith, soon will Allah produce a people whom He (Allah) will love as they will love Him lowly with the believers, Mighty against the rejecters, fighting in the way of Allah, and never afraid of the reproachers of such as find fault.  That is the Grace of Allah which He will bestow on whom He (Allah) pleaseth.  And Allah encompasseth all, and He knoweth all things."  Here in this Holy Verse we see again Allah Almighty strengthening the faith of the Muslims in Islam by assuring them that whenever they see Muslims leaving Islam they will also see those who join Islam with strong faith and love to Allah Almighty.  

"As most men are rebellious." (5:49), it is inevitable that there should be apostates even from such a religion of reason and common-sense as Islam.  In Verse 5:54 above there is a warning to the Muslims that they should not repeat the history of the Jews, and become so self-satisfied or arrogant as to depart from the spirit of Allah's teaching.  If they do, the loss will be their own.  Allah's bounty is not confined to one group or section of humanity.  He can always raise up people who will follow the true spirit of Islam.  That spirit is defined in two ways:  

1-  They will love Allah Almighty and Allah Almighty will love them.

2-  Amongst the Brethren, their attitude will be that of humility, but to wrongdoers they will offer no compromises, and they will always strive and fight for the truth and right.  They will know no fear, either physical, or that more insidious form.  They are too great in mind to be haunted by any such thought.  

Let us look at Noble Verse 5:55 "(O Muslims) Your (real) friends are (No less than) Allah, His Messenger, and the (Fellowship Of) Believers, those who establish regular prayers and regular charity, and they bow down humbly (in worship)."  Here we see Allah Almighty telling Muslims after he warned them from apostates in (5:54) that their real friends are:  Allah Almighty, Prophet Mohammed peace be upon him, and the good Muslims who keep up with their prayers and charity, and who humbly worship their God.

Let us look at Noble Verse 3:90 "But those who reject faith after they accepted it, and then go on adding to their defiance of faith never will their repentance be accepted; for they are those who have (of set purpose) gone astray."  Here in this holy verse we see Allah Almighty rejecting the faith of those who keep coming back and forth to Islam.  In order for a human being to accept Islam as his religion, he must be certain about it first.  Allah Almighty's path is wide open, and his mercy is greater than this universe.  This Holy Verse also does not order the death of those who leave Islam.

The path to Allah Almighty is always open and Allah Almighty will be your friend as in verse (5:55) above, and he will forgive your sins for you once you repent as in the following verse:  "Except for those that repent (Even) after that, And make amends;  for Allah is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful." (3:89).

The absolute freedom of religion in Islam:

Some group of Muslims believe in killing apostates because they follow a Hadith (Saying) from Prophet Mohammed peace be upon him regarding the apostates.  While Islam was weak and still growing among Jews, Christians and Pagans, Muslims did not have the full and complete religion that they needed.  Some Jews and Christians wanted to take advantage of such situation to destroy Islam.  They had a plan to adopt Islam first and then desert it, thus creating the impression that Islam was not a religion worth adopting.

Let us look at Noble Verse 3:72 "A section of the People of the Book (Jews and Christians) say:  Believe in the morning what is revealed to the believers (Muslims), but reject it at the end of the day; perchance they may (themselves) turn back (from Islam)."  To protect Islam from such Satanic attempts done by a group of the people of the book (Jews and Christians), Prophet Mohammed peace be upon him ordered the death of those who enter Islam and leave it.  This temporary law that was put by our Prophet had stopped the hypocrites from the People of the Book who carried so much hatred toward Islam to enter Islam and desert it afterwards. 

Allah Almighty ordered the Muslims to kill the pagans who fought against the Muslims.  The following Noble Verse talks about all of the enemies who fought the Muslims long and bloody battles:

Let us look at Noble Verse 2:191 "And slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have Turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter; but fight them not at the Sacred Mosque, unless they (first) fight you there; but if they fight you, slay them. Such is the reward of those who suppress faith."  The killing of the pagans who fought the Muslims during the time when Islam was not yet complete was essential. 

Important Note:  Noble Verse 2:191 above is not dedicated to the apostates as some Muslim fanatics use it to prove that the Noble Quran orders the killing of apostates.   In fact, it doesn't even mention the apostates.  It talks in general about slaying the pagans who declare wars on the Muslims.  The pagans would obviously include the apostates who deserted Islam, but the Noble Verse certainly doesn't DIRECTLY order the killing of anyone who deserts Islam.

Allah Almighty promised that He will protect the Noble Quran from any corruption:

"We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and We will assuredly Guard it (from corruption).  (The Noble Quran, 15:9)"

"Nay, this is a Glorious Quran, (inscribed) in a Tablet Preserved!  (The Noble Quran, 85:21-22)"

Let us look at Noble Verse 5:3 ".....This day those who reject faith given up all hope of your religion:  Yet fear them not But fear Me (Allah).  This day have I (Allah) perfected your religion for you, completed my favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your (complete) religion....".  So long as Islam was not organized, with its own community and its own laws, the unbelievers and the Hypocrites from the People of the Book and the Pagan Arabs had hoped to wean the believers from the new teaching.  Now that hope is gone forever with the complete organization of Islam.

Let us look at Noble Verses 15:2-3 "Again and again will those who disbelieve, wish that they had bowed (to God's will) in Islam.   Leave them alone, to enjoy (the good things of this life) and to please themselves: let (false) hope amuse them: soon will knowledge (undeceive them)."

Let us look at Noble Verses 10:99-100 "If it had been thy Lord's will, they would all have believed, all who are on earth! wilt thou then compel mankind, against their will, to believe! No soul can believe, except by the will of God, and He will place doubt (or obscurity) on those who will not understand."

Let us look at Noble Verse 18:29 "Say, 'The truth is from your Lord': Let him who will believe, and let him who will, reject (it): for the wrong doers We have prepared a Fire whose (smoke and flames), like the walls and roof of a tent, will hem them in: if they implore relief they will be granted water like melted brass, that will scald their faces, how dreadful the drink! How uncomfortable a couch to recline on!"

Let us look at Noble Verse 27:92 "And to rehearse the Qur'an: and if any accept guidance, they do it for the good of their own souls, and if any stray, say: 'I am only a Warner.'"   

Let us look at Noble Verse 10:99 "If it had been thy Lord's will, they would all have believed,- all who are on earth! wilt thou then compel mankind, against their will, to believe!"   Allah Almighty doesn't like us to compel people into belief.

"No soul can believe, except by the will of God, and He will place doubt (or obscurity) on those who will not understand.  (The Noble Quran, 10:100)"   Allah Almighty helps those whom He likes to be guided to His Straight Path.   If anyone doesn't believe, or reverts back from Islam, it is then his loss and it is the Will of Allah Almighty. 

"Say: 'Behold all that is in the heavens and on earth'; but neither Signs nor Warners profit those who believe not.  Do they then expect (any thing) but (what happened in) the days of the men who passed away before them? Say: 'Wait ye then: for I, too, will wait with you.'  (The Noble Quran, 10:101-102)"   Notice how Allah Almighty orders us to say "Wait" to those who reject Islam.  This clearly says that we can't force anyone into Islam, or punish anyone for leaving Islam.  

Let us look at Noble Verse 10:108 "Say: 'O ye men! Now Truth hath reached you from your Lord! those who receive guidance, do so for the good of their own souls; those who stray, do so to their own loss: and I am not (set) over you to arrange your affairs.'"  Whoever believes benefits his soul and whoever doesn't, harms it, and Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him is not in charge of people to arrange their affairs.  Only Allah Almighty is.

"Say: 'Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger: but if ye turn away, he is only responsible for the duty placed on him and ye for that placed on you.   If ye obey him, ye shall be on right guidance.  The Messenger's duty is only to preach the clear (Message).  (The Noble Quran, 24:54)"  Prophet Muhammad's duty was only to preach.

"Those who pervert the Truth in Our Signs are not hidden from Us.  Which is better? he that is cast into the Fire, or he that comes safe through, on the Day of Judgement?  Do what ye will: Verily He seeth (clearly) all that ye do.  (The Noble Quran, 41:40)"  Here we clearly see Allah Almighty giving a freedom of choice for people to choose or refuse Islam.

"And those who take as protectors others besides Him - Allah doth watch over them; and thou art not the disposer of their affairs.   (The Noble Quran, 42:6)"   Again, Allah Almighty here told Prophet Muhammad that he has no authority over those who reject Islam.

"It is true thou wilt not be able to guide every one whom thou lovest; but Allah Guides those whom He will and He Knows those who receive guidance.  (The Noble Quran, 28:56)"  Again, no authority to Prophet Muhammad over those who accept or reject Islam.

Let us look at Noble Verse 2:256 "Let there be no compulsion in religion:  Truth stands out clear from error:  whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy handhold, that never breaks.  And Allah heareth and knoweth all things."  The Holy Quran prohibits Muslims to force any person into Islam.  Muslims must not let people resent Islam and Muslims.  They must leave people decide for themselves because the "Truth stands out clear from error" (2:256).  

Compulsion is incompatible with religion:  Because (1) religion depends upon faith and will, and these would be meaningless by force; (2) Truth and Error have been so clearly shown up by the mercy of Allah Almighty that there should be no doubt in the minds of any persons of good will as to the fundamentals of faith; (3) Allah Almighty's protection is continuous, and His Plan is always to lead us from the depths of darkness into the clearest light.

The following was sent to me from Vipor Poison; may Allah Almighty always be pleased with him:

"I found another verse in the Quran that dealt with apostates. Noble Verse 4:137 "Those who believe, then reject faith, then believe (again) and (again) reject faith, and go on increasing in unbelief,- Allah will not forgive them nor guide them nor guide them on the way."

Notice that the Quran says those who reject faith and then BELIEVE and again DISBELIEVE. if a Muslim rejects faith and is then killed for doing so how will he live to again BELIEVE and then DISBELIEVE.  The atmosphere of this verse is that of free will and freedom of choice to everyone. If Allah wanted he would have said something about the punishment, if there was any, of those who reject Islam after accepting it. but Allah takes this to be clearly a private matter between them and Allah.

I found many verses in the Quran that teach us NO PUNISHMENT for an apostate BUT I found no verse that says the contrary.

Here is another verse about the freedom of expression in the Quran. many translators translate this wrongly and kill the meaning of the word making it a bogus and strange statement.  Noble Verse 39:18 "Those who listen to the word, then follow the best of it; those are they whom Allah has guided, and those it is who are the men of understanding."

The Quran tells the Muslims to listen to every thing and follow only the best of what is said. it does not tell them to kill people if they say something that is not according to the cultural norm."

The following two sets of Noble Verses were sent to me by brother Rached Blili; may Allah Almighty always be pleased with him.

Let us look at Noble Verses 109:1-6 "Say : O ye that reject Faith!  I worship not that which ye worship, Nor will ye worship that which I worship.  And I will not worship that which ye have been wont to worship, Nor will ye worship that which I worship.  To you be your Way, and to me mine."

Let us look at Noble Verse 42:15 "Now then, for that (reason), call (them to the Faith), and stand steadfast as thou art commanded, nor follow thou their vain desires; but say:   'I believe in the Book which God has sent down; and I am commanded to judge justly between you. God is our Lord and your Lord: for us (is the responsibility for) our deeds, and for you for your deeds. There is no contention between us and you. God will bring us together, and to Him is (our) Final Goal.'"

The Noble Quran in all of the above Noble Verses is crystal clear about providing freedom of religion and choice to all people, Muslims and non-Muslims.

So how come Muslim Fundamentalists execute those who desert Islam then?

Well quite frankly, I don't know how much trouble this section will get me from my readers, but I personally believe that as long as Islam has fanatics like the Taliban and the Saudi Arabia regime who oppress women by prohibiting them from education, even though Islam clearly allows education for women, and prohibiting them also from driving, and oppress men by forcing them to grow beards, even though beards are NOT mandatory in Islam, Muslims will always fail to give the Truthful and Most Beautiful picture of Islam.

As we've seen above, it is quite clear, and beyond any questioning that Allah Almighty, Prophet Muhammad's GOD prohibited compulsion in religion and allowed the absolute freedom of religion to everyone.

When Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him executed apostates, he did it because Muslims were at war time and because Islam was still partial, and Muslims needed protection from the hypocrites of the Jews and Christians who purposely entered Islam and deserted it later. 

The Sayings of Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him regarding killing the renegades came when Islam as I said was partial and the Muslims were dealing with wars all the time.  So if the person wasn't with the Muslims, then he was certainly with his people, the pagans and the other non-Muslims, and he would've then had to join the evil forces to fight the Muslims.  So the case back then was different than today.

I have no sympathy for those hypocrites of the Jews and Christians who got executed:

"A section of the People of the Book (Jews and Christians) say:  Believe in the morning what is revealed to the believers (Muslims), but reject it at the end of the day; perchance they may (themselves) turn back (from Islam).  (The Noble Quran, 3:72)"

Please read "The absolute freedom of religion in Islam" section above for more details and explanations.

There is a difference between being a hateful person and a religious person.  The Islamic fanatics like the Taliban in Afghanistan STRIVE on being hateful and oppressing to people. 

Also, the Saudi Arabian fanatic regime were the first to sell themselves cheap to America and the West when Iraq invaded Kuwait.  They allowed for the non-Muslim troops to enter the Holy Lands which Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him clearly prohibited.  They could've solved the conflict by the Arabs and the Muslims only by sending Islamic troops to liberate Kuwait if the Iraqis insisted on not pulling out of Kuwait.  I mean, those fanatics are so "MEN" to oppress Saudi women and prohibit them from driving, but when it comes to their gods, the Americans and the American Almighty Dollar, they are willing to admit them to the forbidden Holy Lands, and to make allies with them against other Muslims, and to bend over for them too, if you know what I mean!  That is a clear hypocrisy!

Please visit Islam prohibits forming alliance with Jews and Christians and non-Muslims.

Quite honestly, I believe that Muslims will eventually reach a point where they will be very straight and religious people, and will over throw the Islamic fanatics, like any revolution history in Europe where the oppressed people raised up against the dictators and killed them.

Of course I am not suggesting that getting rid of the Islamic fanatics means accepting the Westerner's Satanic life style.  Personally, I think both sides are too excessive.  The Islamic fanatics are too excessive in their oppression, while the West is too excessive in their sexual and Satanic openness.

Please visit Why do some Muslims call Americans and Westerners "Great Satan"?

Islam is a very flexible and dynamic religion, and is the truthful way of life for all times and all places.  The Taliban's Islam isn't.  Believe it or not, they actually consider Muslims like me as infidels who deserve to die.

To any of the Muslim fanatics, anyone who is against them is against GOD, and therefore he/she deserves to die.  That is what Islam calls living in the "darkness", because GOD Almighty is certainly not ruled by those hypocrites, and He is not waiting for some worthless fanatics to determine who deserves to live and who deserves to die without committing any crime.

Please visit What is the Wisdom of Islam?

My rebuttal to the Muslim Fanatics about the historical Muslims' battles with the Apostates:

According to the Islamic history, when Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him died, some of the Muslims had deserted Islam for several reasons.  The biggest of those reasons was that they opposed paying the Zakah (2.5% of annual income of Islamic taxes for the poor).  The Arabs before Islam were used to exploiting each others.  The strong ate the poor, and high interest rates were enforced on loans given to the poors to ultimately force them to sell of their cattles, sons, daughters and/or wives as slaves.

After the death of our Prophet, some of the rich hypocrites decided to join with the Pagan Arab tribes to fight the Muslims and end Islam.  The leader of the apostates/renegades was Musylama Al-Kath-thab or Musylama the liar in English.  He started his army of infidels in what we call today the country of Oman, which is more than 1,000 miles away from Mecca and Medina where the Muslims resided.

After Musylama became strong and popular and was able to gather a big amount of pagans and hypocrites to form an army, he led them to march to Mecca and Medina to fight the Muslims.  When his army finally reached the mountains near Mecca, the Muslims had fought them several battles until he ultimately was killed and his army was soundly defeated.

The objection that I have with the Muslim fanatics is for the following reasons:

1- It was the renegades or apostates that declared the war on the Muslims.  The Muslims did not start the war.

2- We can't use the story of Musylama Al-Kath-thab to prove that it is ok today to kill any person who deserts Islam.  Musylama was not a peaceful renegade.  He wanted to destroy the Muslims through war.  He had to be fought and killed.  We can't use him as a standard and kill all renegades.

3- As I proved in this article, Allah Almighty in the Noble Quran talked about the apostates several times, and not a single command exists in the Noble Quran that orders the killing of any of them.

4- The Sayings of Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him regarding killing the renegades came when Islam was partial and the Muslims were dealing with wars all the time.  So if the person wasn't with the Muslims, then he was certainly with his people, the pagans and the other non-Muslims, and he would've then had to join the evil forces to fight the Muslims.  So the case back then was different than today.

5- Today, if a week-hearted and easily persuaded person for instance decides to embrace Islam and then gets easily persuaded to leave Islam, and then gets easily persuaded to embrace Islam again, and then gets easily persuaded to leave it and so on, then how is it right for us to apply the things that were applied to the hypocrites and Musylama Al-Kath-thab during and after our Prophet's time to this innocent individual?

6- We must never forget Allah Almighty's command that honors the freedom of religion and choice in Islam in Noble Verse 2:256 and the others as shown in this article.

7- The Muslim fanatics claim that the Caliphs did not apply Noble Verse 2:256 and others to the renegades, because the Caliphs knew that these Noble Verses are not applicable to them.  My response to this is that we (1) Don't know if the Caliphs had any choice to apply them back in the hostile environment that they existed in back then; (2) The Caliphs are not the measuring stick that the Muslims today have to follow, especially after knowing that the Caliphs themselves had contradicted each others several times before on very major Islamic issues: [1] [2].

Does "Islam" really mean to force someone to Islam or else kill him?

Please visit Does "Islam" really mean to force someone to Islam or else kill him?

Conclusion:

I truly believe that Islam doesn't allow killing of apostates.  Noble Verse 2:256 "Let there be no compulsion (forcing others) in religion:  Truth stands out clear from error..." which gives total and absolute religious freedom which was one of the last Noble Verses revealed negates the saying of our dear and beloved Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him which temporarily and for that period of time and for that special case only ordered the killing of the hypocrites who entered Islam and deserted it to confuse and weaken the Muslims' faith when Islam was still incomplete.  Noble Verse 2:256 came way after Prophet Muhammad's Saying.

Muslims today must allow religious freedom because Islam today is a full and complete religion and it's laws are organized and its revelations are complete, and because Islam simply orders us to do so.  I think that we must start thinking logically and take things from our religion (Islam) by their wisdom and reasons, and not literally.  If Allah Almighty (God) wanted us to kill Apostates for all time, then he would have mentioned it in the Noble Quran and ordered us to do so just like he did for other situations (such as killing murderers).  Allah Almighty never ordered us to kill any Apostate because Islam is a religion for all times and all places.  

We must allow freedom of religious choice for Muslims in our Islamic countries, because again, Islam orders us to do so, and because it is part of our religion to have freedom.  Allah Almighty prohibited compulsion (forcing others) to Islam (2:256), and he wants us to choose or leave Islam by complete choice, because he is the Supreme Judge Al-Knowing Most Merciful.

Personally, I strongly believe that Allah Almighty wanted for Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him to give temporary laws to fix certain problems and corruption that existed in the society 1400 years ago.  The reason why Allah Almighty didn't Send down the law as a Revelation in the Noble Quran is because as I said, He meant for it to be only a temporary law and not a Law that must be followed for all times and all places.

The Muslim fanatics do not represent Islam in anyway.  They are oppressing people to both men and women, and they lack a great deal of humanity and love in them.  They are for the most part very hateful to others, and Islam has no place for such people.

He wrote:

    We pick up the story of Islam’s creation account where we left off, with Iblis, better known as Lucifer. I’m going to work the narrative through the Qur’an. In the 7th surah, called “The Wall Between Heaven and Hell,” Allah, or I should say, Muhammad, corrupts one of the earliest Genesis stories. But he gets sidetracked with intolerance and terrorism before he dives into his version. So in deference to the Islamic apologists, I’ll keep the whole passage in context, starting at the beginning.
    Before we start, however, you should know that the only reason we can read this or any surah is because an “angel” or a “clanging bell” dictated it (or gonged it) to Muhammad directly from the “Memorial Tablets” written at Allah’s command by the “Pen” before the universe was created. 007.001 “This Book [the Qur’an] has been sent down to you.” The opening verse is not accurate. The Qur’an wasn’t a book. Based upon the historical record, nothing would be committed to writing or compiled into a book for another century. “Do not hesitate to warn the unbelievers through it.” This “warning” was not for the unbelievers’ benefit or for their salvation. All non-Muslims are predestined to hell. So the threat of impending punishments which could not be averted strongly suggests that the author was either demented or a sadist.
    Muhammad’s schizophrenic spirit said: 007.003 “Follow the Revelation given to you from your Lord and follow not as protectors other than Him [third person]. Little do you remember My [first person, singular] warning. How many towns have We [plural] destroyed as a raid by night? Our punishment took them suddenly while they slept for their afternoon rest. Our terror came to them; Our punishment overtook them. No cry did they utter but: ‘We were wrong-doers.’” The Islamic god’s taste for terror is shocking. It’s hard to fathom scripture bragging, “How many towns have We destroyed?” or, “Our punishment took them suddenly while they slept.” What would possess someone to claim this was godly? The Islamic “god,” by his own admission, is a terrorist.
    Before we move on, I want to bring your attention to the motivation behind this opening salvo. Muhammad wanted his detractors to know that his god would terrorize anyone who rejected “those to whom Our Message was sent [Muslims] or those by whom We sent it [Muhammad].” It’s a warning: “If you deny Muhammad, his followers will terrorize you.”
    007.007 “Verily, We shall recount their whole story with knowledge, for We were never absent at any time or place.” Muhammad, speaking on behalf of his spirit, is acknowledging that the stories in the Qur’an appear plagiarized. But they are not, he protests, because his “god” was omnipresent. He is preparing us for an onslaught of bastardized Hebrew scripture.
   “Those whose scale of good will be heavy will prosper. Those whose scale will be light will find their souls in perdition [hell], for they wrongfully treated Our Signs.” That’s the basis of the religion of Islam. Good works. The more you do the heavier the “good” side of your scale becomes. Unfortunately, all the good deeds in the world can’t outweigh predestination. And the best “good deed” according to Muhammad is to die a jihadist terrorizing infidels.
    Want proof? From Bukhari’s, Book of Jihad, Chapter 1, number 1204: “A man came to Allah’s Messenger and said, ‘Guide me to such a deed as equals Jihad in reward. ‘ He said, ‘I do not find such a deed.’” Bukhari:V4B52N50 “The Prophet said, ‘A single endeavor of fighting in Allah's Cause is better than the world and whatever is in it.’” As we move into the Medina war surahs I will share scores of these with you.
    Returning to the 7th surah, Allah’s miffed men aren’t thankful. 007.010 “It is We who have placed you [Adam] with authority on earth, and provided you with means for the fulfillment of your life: small are the thanks that you give! Little give you thanks!”
    “It is We who created you and gave you shape; then We ordered the angels to fall and prostrate themselves to Adam. And they fell prostrate, all save Iblis, who was not of those who made prostration.” Iblis was Lucifer, a fallen angel better known as Satan. The Qur’an says that he was a jinn, or demonic spirit. Both the Qur’an and Bible agree that Lucifer rebelled against God.
    According to the Bible, as an angel, Lucifer was merely a tool. His relationship with Yahweh was like that of a private to a general. Without choice angels cannot love. And they are incapable of creativity, which may explain why so much of the Qur’an was plagiarized. Lucifer’s existence was defined by the same terms that gave Islam its name and authority: “submit and obey.” The Bible says, when Lucifer rebelled, a third of the angels were cast out of heaven and became demons. They lashed out at Yahweh by deceiving man, separating us from God, just as they had been.
    This all led to the most infamous meal in human history. I share this Biblical perspective because once again, Muhammad, lacking imagination, plagiarized it, albeit with his own unique embellishments. 007.012 “‘What prevented you [Iblis/Lucifer] from prostrating when I commanded you?’ He said: ‘I am better than Adam: You created me from fire and him from clay.’ So Allah said: ‘Get down from this place: it is not for you to be arrogant here: get out, you are degraded, for you are of the meanest of creatures.’” The request is odd, yet the Qur’an never explains why Allah wanted his angels to humble themselves before man.
    In the Qur’an, Satan protests. 007.014 “‘Give me a reprieve until the time they are raised.’ Allah said: ‘You have your reprieve.’ He said: ‘Because you have thrown me out, I will lie in wait, lurking in ambush for them on Your Right Path. I will assault them from behind, from their right and left. You will find them ungrateful.’ Allah said: ‘Get out of here. You are disgraced and expelled. If any follow, I will fill Hell with all of you.’” The Qur’an has clearly said that Satan is deceptive, and that he’s going to hell. This is important because, from this point on, Allah will claim to be deceitful and we will find him in hell, tormenting men.
    Continuing to steal from Genesis, the Islamic scriptures say: 007.019 “We said: ‘Adam, dwell with your wife in the Garden and enjoy: but approach not this tree or you will run into harm and become wrong-doers.’ Then Satan began to whisper suggestions to them, bringing openly before their minds all their shame that was hidden from them. He said: ‘Your Lord only forbid you this tree, lest you should become angels, immortal, living forever.’” In the Garden, Adam was immortal. Seducing Adam with a promise of immortality would be like seducing Arabs with a promise of more sand. Besides, why would Adam want to become an angel if the angels were bowing to him?
    007.021 “He swore to them that he was their sincere adviser. So by deceit he brought about their fall.” This is interesting. Muslims claim that there was no fall of man, thus no reason for the Messiah to come and reconcile fallen man back into fellowship with God. Further, Satan is mimicking Muhammad. The prophet incessantly claimed to be the “sincere adviser,” yet through deceit, he brought men to their knees.
    “When they tasted of the tree, their shame became manifest to them, and they began to sew together leaves, covering their bodies. Allah called: ‘Did I not forbid you that tree and tell you that Satan was an avowed enemy?’” For those who are curious: Tabari I:299 “Scholars of the nation of our Prophet say, ‘The tree which Allah forbade Adam and his spouse to eat was wheat.’” Yes, a wheat tree.
    007.023 “They said: ‘Allah, we have wronged our own souls: If you do not forgive us, we shall be of the lost losers.’ Allah said: ‘Go down from here as enemies of each other.’” Allah seems to think that the Garden of Eden, a.k.a. the Garden of Bliss, is in heaven. Thus when Adam rejected Allah, he was sent down, not cast out. Also, did you notice the line: “you will be enemies of each other?” He was speaking to Adam and Eve, foreshadowing the Islamic view of women.
    Allah continued: “‘On earth will be your dwelling place and your means of livelihood for a time.’ He [third person, singular] said: “Therein shall you live, and therein shall you die, and from it shall you be raised. O children of Adam. [How did they get kids so fast?] We [first person plural] have sent clothing down to you to cover your shame, and for beauty and clothing that guards against evil. This is of the communications of Allah [now third person singular].’” Why did they need clothes to guard against evil? If their lusts carried them away—who were they going to be adulterous with?
    An interesting sidebar on the first kids comes to us in this Tradition: Tabari I:321 “When Eve became heavy with her first pregnancy, Satan came to her before she gave birth and said, ‘Eve, what is that in your womb?’ She said, ‘I do not know.’ He asked, ‘Where will it come out from—your nose, your eye, or your ear?’ She replied, ‘I do not know.’ He said, ‘Don’t you think, if it comes out healthy, you should obey me in whatever I command you?’ When she said, ‘Yes,’ he said: ‘Name him Abd al-Harith Iblis—Slave to the cursed!’ She agreed.” Believable dialog, don’t you think? Just the kind of foundation you’d expect to underpin a great religion. “Adam said to him [Iblis/Lucifer], ‘I obeyed you once before and you caused me to be driven out of Paradise.’ So he refused to obey him and called the child Abd Ar-Rahman.”
    Ar-Rahman was the name of Muhammad’s first “god.” The 55th surah, named in Ar-Rahman’s honor, begins: “Ar-Rahman bestowed the Qur’an, created man, and taught him to express clearly. The sun and moon revolve to his computation and the grasses and the trees bow to Him in adoration.… He created man.” With multiple gods, Islam became pagan monotheism.
    And with multiple truths, Islam is flawed revelation: Tabari I:275 “They ate from it and as a result their secret part that had been concealed became apparent.” It hadn’t been much of a marriage up to that point. But if that’s true, how did they get kids? And why does the Islamic Tradition say: Tabari I:299 “It was the cover of fingernails that had kept their secret parts concealed.”
    007.027 “O you Children of Adam, let not Satan seduce you, in the same manner as he got your parents out of the Garden, making them disrobe, stripping them of their clothing, to expose their shame.” Just six verses earlier, Adam was nude, sinned, and thus felt the need for clothing. He made his own, sewing together leaves. Then Allah sent down supernatural clothes from AlMart. Now we’re told that Satan stripped them? “For he [Satan/Lucifer] and his tribe [of demons/jinn] watch you from a position where you cannot see them. We made the jinn friends of the unbelievers.” So there you have it. Satan, Iblis, and jinn are all cut from the same cloth—all made of fire, all from the same tribe. These invisible evil spirits, or demons, lurk in the shadows ready to ambush men, deceiving them. Yet, as you shall discover in one of the most bizarre Qur’anic passages, these pesky demons think Muhammad and Allah are swell, calling them “Prophet” and “Lord.” They are employed to authenticate the Qur’an.
    007.030 “Some He has guided: as for others, error is their due. They deserve loss in that they took the devils instead of Allah for their friends and think that they are rightly guided.” 007.035 “Children of Adam, whenever messengers come from amongst you, rehearsing My [singular] signs and revelations to you, act rightly so that you have no fear, nor reason to grieve. But those who reject Our [plural] signs and scorn them with arrogance, they are inmates of the Fire forever.” What messengers, what revelations? Allah is allegedly talking to Adam’s kids. The first prophet and scripture wouldn’t arrive for over two thousand years. The Islamic god had no concept of time. Worse, he couldn’t even keep himself together, talking in first person singular and plural in the same verse. Somebody was very confused.
    The second part of this passage is revealing. As we dig deeper into the Qur’an you’ll find that the most repeated theme is: “reject Muhammad and you’re toast.” Although he tries a number of variants, his favorites twist Bible stories, as he has done here. Muhammad was referring to himself when he warned Adam’s kids not to reject the “messenger among them.”
   007.037 “Who is more unjust: one who invents a lie against Allah or one who rejects His Signs? For such, their appointed destiny must reach them from when Our messengers of death arrive and take their souls. [These guys sound a little like Hitler’s S.S.] They say: ‘Now where is that to which you cried to beside Allah?’ They will reply, ‘They have left us in the lurch.’” There were no signs, no miracles, no proofs of any kind to confirm Muhammad’s claim to being a prophet or the Qur’an’s claim to being divinely inspired. The repetition of lies like this was just part of Muhammad’s warped game. It’s standard megalomaniac behavior. Tell a big enough lie, say it often enough, and enough will believe it for you to prevail.
    007.038 “Allah’s messengers of death will say: ‘Enter the fire, join the company of men and jinn who passed away before you.’ Every time a fresh group of people or nation enters, they curse those that went into the Fire before them. The most recent entrants into Hell ask: ‘Lord, they led us astray, so give them a double torment in the Fire.’ He will say: ‘For each there is already a double dose of torment…. So taste the punishment.’”
    It’s stunning to the point of agony that a billion people, through seduction, indoctrination, and compulsion, have been led to believe that these hateful words are God’s. Yet while stunning, it’s not baffling. All Muhammad had to do was to convince fifty well-armed fools. While it took him ten years, it shouldn’t have been hard. Mecca was a town of five thousand. All but a handful were illiterate. Steeped in pagan superstition, already believing in the pagan idol of the Ka’aba, the young and the rebellious, the poor and the destitute, were ripe for the picking.

My response:

You mentioned two points:

1-  Hell.

2-  Terrorism.

Here is my response to your points:

1-  What is wrong with the above Noble Verses that you mentioned?  Hell is a terrible place, and Islam describes it in good details to warn the believers.  Allah Almighty also described Heaven as much or even more to Give Glad Tidings to the believers about the Pleasures and Happiness that they will live in.  Your pornful bible, the book of women's vaginas and breasts taste like "wine", is more concerned about women and who the Biblical Prophets could get away with marrying literally 100s of wives each!

To the reader, please visit the following links to understand fully what happened between satan and Allah Almighty, and how Allah Almighty described Heaven and Hell in the Noble Quran:

Is Satan in Islam the same as Satan in the Bible?

Would you describe Heaven and Hell according to the Islamic doctrine?

Will Hell eventually be empty?  For how long will Allah Almighty punish some of His creation?

2-  As to terrorism, it only exists in your pornful bible; the book of women's breasts and vaginas taste like wine:

Let us look at Numbers 31:17 "Now kill all the boys [innocent kids]. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man." 

Here is a proof from the Noble Quran that this verse, Numbers 31:17 is a corruption and lie inserted into the bible:

"Truly Pharaoh elated himself in the land and broke up its people into sections, depressing a small group among them: their sons he slew, but he kept alive their females: for he was indeed a maker of mischief.  (The Noble Quran, 28:4)"

Allah Almighty is clearly against killing the men and keeping the women in the Noble Quran.  The pornful bible on the other hand promotes it!

Continuing with terrorism in the pornful bible:

Also, let us look at Numbers 31:35-40 "[From the captives of war] 32,000 women who had never slept with a man.......of which the tribute for the LORD was 32 [virgin women]."

Why kill the innocent children?  Why kill all of the non-virgin women?  Back then, it was only men who fought men in wars.  Women rarely fought in battle fields.    So what crime did the innocent children and the non-virgin women do?

This verse was sent to me by Yusif 65; may Allah Almighty always be pleased with him:  "But after they had moved it, the LORD's hand was against that city, throwing it into a great panic.  He afflicted the people of the city, both young and old, with an outbreak of tumors.  (From the NIV Bible, 1 Samuel 5:9)"  

"tumors" was defined as "with tumors in the groin."  This is verified at this link.

Why torture the enemies by destroying their groins?

Will Craig Winn now call his Bible as a book of terrorism?

He wrote:

    Let’s pick up the Islamic story of Satan and hell from the Hadith. I will be quoting from the History of al-Tabari, Creation to the Flood. Tabari I:249 “There was an angelic tribe of jinn, and Iblis belonged to it. Iblis [Satan/Lucifer] was one of the noblest angels and governed the most honored tribe.” Tabari I:251 “Whoever among them says: I am a god besides Him, will have Hell as his reward from Us. That is how We reward the wrongdoers.’ [Qur’an 21:29] This verse was revealed specifically for Iblis, when he said what he said. May Allah curse him and have him stoned!” We’ve just been given a rather interesting clue: the Qur’an was revealed for Lucifer’s benefit. And ask yourself, how is a “stone” going to curse or punish a spirit?
    “Iblis belonged to a tribal group called jinn. They were created from the fire of simoom. All of the angels except this tribal group were created from light. The jinn mentioned in the Qur’an were created from a tongue of white-hot fire blazing on its side. [Qur’an 55:15] The first to dwell on the earth were jinn. They caused corruption on it and shed blood and killed each other. [Since demons are spirits, how could they shed blood and bleed?] Allah sent Iblis with an army of angels to fight against the jinn. Iblis and the angels with him caused a bloodbath, but his success went to his head.” Allah made Lucifer a traitor against his own tribe, which is exactly what happened with Muhammad in Mecca.
    Tabari I:252 “Allah created some creatures and said, ‘Prostrate yourselves before Adam!’ They replied, ‘We shall not do that.’ Allah sent a fire to consume them.”
    Four things should be perfectly clear. First, if you don’t prostrate yourself, you’re scorched. And while that sounds extreme, it’s designed to frighten Muslims. Muhammad is quoted in a Hadith from Bukhari entitled “Prayer is Obligatory” saying: Bukhari:V1B11N617 “I would order someone to collect firewood and another to lead prayer. Then I would go burn the houses of men who did not present themselves at the compulsory prayer and prostration.” Islam means submission, and the sign of submission is prostration. The mosque, the centerpiece of Islamic control, is derived from the Arabic word for “the place of prostration.”
    Second, Satan is a jinn. Third, jinn are bad. And fourth, everybody associated with jinn loves fire—Muhammad and Allah included. I share this because of the impact it has on two of the most troubling narratives in the Qur’an. And those passages, surprisingly enough, don’t include the Satanic Verses, in which Muhammad received scripture from Lucifer. They are instead ones in which Satan’s jinn are used to endorse the Qur’an.
    The first of these demonic interludes begins, like so many others, with a threatening rant before it torments us with nonsense. 046.027 “We have destroyed habitations all around you, having explained Our signs in different ways to them that they may turn back. Why then did the gods they had taken apart from Allah as protectors not come to their aid? In fact they strayed away from them.” This is weird. Did the other gods stray away from men, making them real, or did men stray away from the other gods, making the condemnation irrelevant?
    “It was all a lie what they had contrived!” After enduring a litany of Muhammad’s whoppers, that’s quite a claim. But nothing compared to this...046.029 “Remember when We turned a company of jinn towards you to listen to the Qur’an? They arrived when it was being recited, and they said: ‘Keep silent.’ When it was over they came back to their tribe, warning them: ‘O our people [fellow demonic jinn], we have listened to a Book which has come down after Moses, confirming what was sent down before it, showing the way to the truth and a path that is straight.” The jinn are endorsing the Qur’an as being truthful, a straight path. That’s like Churchill asking Nazis to confirm his policies. Can you imagine a god so desperate he’d solicit demonic assistance? The Good Housekeeping Seal-of-Approval, this is not.
    And it didn’t stop there. The demons went on to say: 046.031 “Jinn, listen to [Muhammad] the Messenger of Allah, and believe in him, so that He may forgive you your sins and save you from a painful doom.” Satan’s demonic spirits just proclaimed that Muhammad was their savior and their messenger. Either Muhammad’s Qur’an recital was so convicting it saved devils or the devils are deceiving men by calling his lie “true.” You make the call.
    Back in Paradise, the Prophet’s Companions explain, Tabari I:273 “Iblis was cursed, and Adam settled in. Adam used to go about all alone, not having a spouse to dwell with. He fell asleep, and when he woke up, he found sitting at his head a woman who had been created by Allah from his rib. [I know you’ve heard this before. So had Muhammad.] He asked her what she was, and she replied, ‘A woman.’ He asked for what purpose she had been created, and she replied, ‘For you to dwell with me.’ The angels, looking to find out the extent of Adam’s knowledge, asked him her name. He replied, ‘Eve, because she was created from a living thing.’ And Allah said, ‘Adam, dwell in Paradise! Eat freely of its plenty wherever you wish.’” The omission of God’s warning not to eat of the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil may not have been left out of this account by accident. In Islam there is no choice, therefore, no reason for the tree. While it exits in other variations, it serves no purpose. Man is predestined to his fate. The reason for the tree in Genesis is to provide Adam with a choice. And it is the same choice we must all make—love God or reject him. Love cannot be compelled. Even God can’t require love.
    A Tradition reveals: “He then cast slumber upon Adam as we have heard from the people of the Torah among the people of the Book.” I’m told that confession is good for the soul. At least they had the good sense and common courtesy to say where Muhammad stole his material.
    Tabari I:275 “Iblis wanted to meet them in Paradise, but the keepers prevented him from entering. He went to a snake, an animal with four feet like a camel. Iblis tried to persuade it to let him enter its mouth and take him to Adam. The snake agreed, passed by the keepers, and entered without their knowledge, because that was Allah’s plan.” If Allah’s plan was to help Satan deceive man, you know whose side Allah was on.
   “Iblis talked to Adam from the mouth of the snake, but Adam paid no attention to him. So Iblis said, ‘Adam, may I lead you to the tree of eternity and a power that never decays…. Both you and Eve will have eternal life and will never die.’” Since there was no death or dying in Paradise, how would Adam know what decay was? How could he be enticed to be eternal when he was created that way? “I give you good advice. But by tearing their clothes, Iblis wanted to show them their secret parts, which had been concealed from them. From his reading of the books of the angels, he knew what Adam did not, that they had secret parts.” Wait a minute. Adam was supposed to be smart and the angels stupid. Now we’re told the angels are smart enough to have books and Adam is oblivious.
    Tabari I:276 “Adam refused to eat but Eve came forward and ate. Then she said, ‘Eat, Adam. I have and it has done me no harm.’ But when Adam ate, their secret parts became apparent to them and they started to cover themselves with leaves of Paradise stitched together.” [Qur’an 7:22] I don’t get it. Why would showing Adam and Eve their private parts seduce them into rebellion? If sex isn’t good, why is it the essence of Islamic Paradise?
    As you might expect, there is more than one version of this story. So for some comic relief let’s look at another variant: Tabari I:276 “Iblis proposed to the animals on earth that they should take him into Paradise so that he could speak with Adam and his spouse, but every animal refused. Finally, he spoke to the snake. It was dressed and walking on four feet, but Allah then undressed it and made it walk on its belly.” Conjuring up the image of a dressed snake walking with a fiery jinn in its mouth, on four feet, being undressed by god, takes some doing.
    Over the next few pages, the man solely responsible for inventing Islam, Allah, and the Qur’an said, “The tree’s branches were intertwined and it bore fruit which the angels ate to live eternally.” Then, “Adam went inside the tree to hide.” And, “Eve cut the tree and it bled. The feather that covered Adam and Eve dropped off.” So, Tabari I:278 “Now Eve, as you caused the tree to bleed, you will bleed every new moon, and you, snake, I will cut off your feet and you will walk slithering on your face.” For giggles: “Some camels were originally jinn.” And: Tabari I:279 “It was a tree which made whoever ate from it defecate. But there must be no faeces in Paradise.” Since the angels ate from it to live eternally, where might they have answered the call of nature?
    For another insight into the mind of Muhammad and therefore into the character of his god: Tabari I:280 “Allah said, ‘It is My obligation to make her bleed once every month as she made this tree bleed. I must also make Eve stupid, although I created her intelligent.’” Zayd, Muhammad’s adopted son said, Tabari I:280 “Because Allah afflicted Eve, all of the women of the world menstruate and are stupid.” It’s a wonder there are any Muslim women. It’s a wonder feminist organizations are silent. Why do they tolerate a doctrine that demeans six hundred million women?
   Tabari I:281 “I heard him swear by Allah unequivocally, ‘As long as Adam was in his right mind, he would never have eaten from the tree. Eve gave him wine and got him drunk. She led him to the tree.’” Muhammad didn’t like women very much. Bukhari:V4B55N547 “The Prophet said, ‘But for the Israelis, meat would not decay, and if it were not for Eve, wives would never betray their husbands.’” He didn’t like Jews, either.
   Tabari I:282 “The Messenger said, ‘Friday was the Lord of Days. On Friday, Adam was created and cast down to earth. The duration of Adam and Eve’s stay in Paradise was five hours.’” As usual, Muhammad had a reason for enduring the criticism these preposterous accounts surely brought him. Friday was important. Muhammad and his followers had observed the Jewish Sabbath and prayed facing the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. (It seemed only natural; they had taken everything else from Jews.) But eventually the Jews in Yathrib, today’s Medina, mocked the Messenger one too many times. So Muhammad decided to differentiate his Islam from the religion of his tormentors. Saturday was theirs. Sunday was taken—something about a resurrection—so Friday became the lord of days. All Muhammad needed was a little justification.
    What do you suppose happened to Adam once he was deported? The Bible picks up the story in Mesopotamia, where recorded history began, but not Islam. Muhammad had another agenda. Tabari I:290 “Allah cast Adam down to earth. The place where he fell down was the land of India.” Why India, you ask? Because: “When Adam was cast down there, some of the smell of Paradise clung to India’s trees.” Aisha, Muhammad’s wife told us that he said, “The things I love most are women and perfume.” The Prophet was simply trying to excuse his preoccupation with smelling good. If his perfumes were created in paradise, smelling good was religious rather than self-indulgent.
    Tabari I:291 “Adam was cast down in India and Eve in Juddah. He went in search of her, and eventually they were united. Eve drew near him, hence Muzdalifah. They recognized each other, hence Arafat. And they were united in Jam, hence Jam.” If the India story was conceived to rationalize the prophet’s obsession with perfume, why this elaborate tale? It’s all about Muhammad’s third and fourth vices—power and money. He wanted to legitimize and then control the pagan hajj. It was the source of the region’s power and wealth during his day. Each of the places Muhammad claims the amorous couple traversed were just outside Mecca. Going to them was part of the pagan rites he later incorporated into Islam. So he was validating his claim to the religious scam he would soon steal.
    Tabari was criticized for these stories. So he said, “The soundness of this is established by a report serving as conclusive proof that Adam was cast down in India. It is rejected neither by the Muslim scholars nor by the people of the Torah and Gospel. Proof is firmly established by reports from some of them.” As you have seen, justifying the unjustifiable has caused Muslims to latch on to imaginary verifications. There is nothing in the Torah or Gospels that says Adam was dropped in India. The Biblical Garden of Eden was on Earth, not heaven; it was located near the headwaters of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers and the Black Sea.
   Tabari I:292 “It has been mentioned that the summit of the mountain upon which Adam was cast down is one of those closest to heaven. When Adam was cast upon it his feet were on it while his head was in heaven. He heard the songs of the angels. The angels were afraid of him so his size was reduced.” The Islamic heaven must be very low.
    Knowing Muhammad, there had to be an ulterior motive. The prophet was trying to rationalize something. What do you suppose it was this time? Tabari I:293 “When Allah cast Adam down from Paradise, Adam’s feet were on earth while his head was in heaven. He became too familiar with the angels and they were in awe of him so much so that they complained to Allah in their various prayers. Allah, therefore, lowered Adam. But Adam missed what he used to hear from the angels and felt lonely. He complained to Allah and was sent to Mecca. On the way every place where he set foot became a village, and the interval between his steps became a desert until he reached Mecca.”
    We’re getting close. It’s important for Muhammad, and thus Islam, to place Adam in Mecca. Could there be more? “Allah sent down a jewel of Paradise where the House [Ka’aba] is located today. Adam continued to circumambulate it until Allah sent down the Flood.” There you have it. To make the insignificant pagan Ka’aba seem godly and important, and to have the stone that represented the most senior idol of the Meccan pantheon appear like it belonged to Islam, we see Allah sending Adam to the Ka’aba and giving him his Black Stone. We even have Adam circumambulate it like a good Muslim for a thousand years, helping to justify Islamic ritual. Muhammad was not only the world’s worst prophet, he was the world’s most transparent liar.
    Now all Muhammad needed to do was connect the Ka’aba to Abraham so he could rationalize Islam’s reliance on the Hebrew Bible. With the Bible snagged, he had himself a religion. Tabari I:293 “That jewel was lifted up until Allah sent Abraham to (re)build the House. This is meant by Allah’s word, ‘And We established for Abraham the place of the House as residence.’” [Qur’an 22:26] Muhammad was as predictable as sunrise.
    You probably noticed the (re) before build. In the creation account Allah built the Ka’aba himself. Then it was built by Adam. Now we are told that Abraham built it. So I ask you: how many times should a prophet be allowed to contradict himself before he is no longer considered a prophet?
    The legends behind the Ka’aba are essential to Islam. If they don’t make sense, neither does the religion. Tabari I:293 “Allah founded the House together with Adam. Adam’s head was in heaven while his feet were upon the earth. The angels were afraid so his size was reduced to sixty cubits (30 meters). Adam was sad because he missed the angelic songs. He complained, and Allah said, ‘Adam, I have cast down a house for you to circumambulate, as one circumambulates My Throne.’ Adam came to the House, and he and the prophets after him circumambulated it.” In this account we have the Ka’aba being built in heaven and also being built cooperatively by Adam and Allah. Either way, it’s a wonder the Islamic god would take credit for building something so crude and unsightly.
    Reducing Adam is a fairytale. As is the desert forming between his strides and villages cropping up in his footsteps. So then, when does the make-believe world of Islam end and the real world begin? When do we move out of fiction and into nonfiction? Stated another way, can you trust a man who is willing to base his religion on stories this farfetched? If he had to deceive us to make the Ka’aba seem worthy of devotion, is it?
    Tabari I:294 “When Adam’s size was lowered to sixty cubits, he started to say, ‘My lord! I was your protégé in Your House, having no Lord but You to protect me. There I had plenty to eat and could dwell wherever I wanted. But then You cast me down to this holy mountain. There I used to hear the voices of the angels and see them crowd around Your Throne and enjoy the sweet smell of Paradise. Then you cut me off from these things.”
    This is a confession. Muhammad saw himself as Allah’s protégé—if not as Allah himself. He constantly looked for people to protect him, and as an orphan, he was deprived of food. His own tribe became so disgusted with his continual taunts they made travel difficult for him. He was consumed with a desire to make Allah’s House and Mecca both his and important. He indulged in the sweet smell of perfume and repeatedly claimed that he could hear the angels. What’s more, his Qur’an is filled with complaints.
    Muhammad couldn’t even keep his own twisted version of Adam straight. Listen to this excerpt in which the prophet’s indulgences were falsely manifest in Adam: Tabari I:318 “He built for himself cities and castles and populated them and made them prosperous. He also assembled weapons and established a cavalry. At the end of his life, he became a tyrant. He took the name of Adam and said, ‘If
