Damn! I missed 45 minutes of the Ramadan Bombathon today. Nonetheless, I’ll start watching from the start, even though it’s the live feed!

“Russia Is Succeeding Wildly in Its Objectives!”

This is awesome!

Islam is finished! Just the title of this volume ‘The CRITICAL Quran’ breaks through the barrier of criticizing Islam.
Now … the word ‘critical’ to a scholar means that the approach is completely led by the data in a scientific, unbiased manner. The student of the Koran should look at it with fresh eyes and without prejudice.
The Koran is now a valid subject for LITERARY CRITICISM … the mullahs will be unable to stop young Muslims from looking at the Koran without the lens of all the LIES they have been fed by the mullahs who have tried to the stop the new tsunami of research hitting the Koran and proving beyond a reasonable doubt that the Koran is man-made and NOT of divine origin.

Well, I hope you’re right. Not sure how many pious Muslims are going to be reading this, though.
Islam Is The Problem; Apostasy Is The Solution.
However, since Islam is protected as a legitimate religion rather than a Supremacist Enemy Threat Doctrine against Western Civilization, the Muslim world will remain in perpetual Jihad until the Caliphate dominates as the One World Government and One World Religion. That’s the goal and Western leaders as well as those who don’t want Islam banned will have handed the victory over to Muhammad’s followers.
Just the Facts; Just the Truth.
Islam is a Supremacist Enemy Threat Doctrine against Western Civilization by its Religious Ideology. Many defend Islam’s right to be protected as a “Religion.” The vulnerability within vague wording of the First Amendment will be the downfall of America.

Koran is a kaleidoscope!
Since it is a complete book of revelation, as it claims it; & is the apex book in revelation, as it claims it; & is the culminating final book of revelation as it claims it in a long line of revelations starting Adam & there is no further book to be revealed after it; & so it is protected by God from corruption creeping it as it claims it, it covers everything 360 deg., as it claims, & it covers all aspects of creation & life from the pre-time to the eternity as a guide to correct divine information & guide to correct divine belief to both humankind & jinnkind for their eternal salvation if they follow it; & it has been revealed in a very compact & concise way which opens it to mis-interpretation who are not deep in its knowledge.
Moreover Koran is only half of the divine revelation, & which was written down by him, the other half which Mohammad (S) was given in parallel to the first part, the legislative part & broad outline of the religion of God, the second part called Sunnah (meaning the first-cut path in grass or his tradition) in a parallel revelation, which was not written down by him but narrated verbally to the people around him or his companions to be conveyed to the submittors (Muslims), the implementary part: how Koran is to be interpreted & implemented in life, also filling in the details of how to, & which, in later generations was recorded into their compilations by collectors of saying upon their estimation what was correct from what they had received from the people around them establisihing a chain of narration ending to the prophet (S).
This method of following of Islam is followed by the bulk of the Muslims 85% of them who did not schism out into any one the three shisms which happened at the beginning of Islam & remained stead fast to the teachings of Mohammad (S), & who called themselves Ahl As-Sunnah wal Jamaa (People of Sunnah & Society {or Community}), or Sunni (in short) to distinguish themselves apart from the other three schisms.
Some Muslims in their extremism, following the ideology of Al-Khawarij (one of the three schisms) (The Exitors) or Kharijites, who exited upon their rulers & Muslims by shedding their blood when they differed with them on the points of fiqha (understanding of rules of Islam), use that ideology to ignore Sunnah & misinterpret the open ayats of Koran (they need to be interpreted through Sunnah only for correct implementation), to go into extremism & shed their own blood & blood of other Muslims & non-Muslims to justify their ulterior worldly motives.

This is an especially ham-fisted type of Taqiyya–the claim that Jihadists misinterpret the tenets of Islam. But the “Prophet” Muhammed himself says that violent Jihad against Infidels is the greatest of Islamic actions, and the Qur’an and Hadith are full of the oppression and murder of Infidels, all characterized as praiseworthy.
Try again…
iliala should read the Critical Qur’an–either to learn the truth about Islam, or at the very least to up his Da’wa, because this is just sad.

The Muslim Brotherhood has been deceiving the whole world since Hassan Banna founded it in 1928.
It was the Brotherhood who invented the big lie that Islam is the religion of peace. That’s pure Taqiyya.
Too many gullible fools have swallowed that big lie and too few have had the backbone to challenge it.
But with the excellent work done by the indefatigable Robert Spencer, the days when the purveyors of Taqiyya could shamelessly deceive willfully ignorant people are slowly but surely coming to an end!

The publication of Robert Spencer’s Critical Qur’an could be the most Earth-Shattering event for Islam in 1.400 years.
