That Islam is a merit/demerit based religion is beyond question. One’s eternal destiny hinges (as far as any human actions can sway the will of Allah) on how well or poorly one obeys the divine commands, now conveniently gathered in what is known as Shari’ah law (in one approved version or another). The goal of […]

Qur’an quote for International Women’s Day: “As for those from whom you fear disobedience…beat them” (4:34)
It’s International Women’s Day, an excellent time for a Qur’an study. The Qur’an teaches that men are superior to women and should beat those from whom they “fear disobedience”: “Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women […]
Cleveland: Imam admits Muhammad married 9-year-old girl, justifies the marriage
Strictly speaking, Islam Hassan is wrong: Muhammad married Aisha when she was six, and consummated the marriage (i.e., raped her) when she was nine.

Then in 621 Muhammad had met with additional converts from Medina and sent a Meccan Muslim back to Medina to teach others about Islam. […]
Germany: Staples removes “Mohammed” ruler after complaints from Muslims

A customer claimed “This promotes exclusion.” Staples rather fancifully explained that the veiled figures were ninjas, and removed the ruler from circulation. But what, really, was the problem? Islam’s prophet Muhammad ordered that women be veiled, covering everything but their […]
Ahmadi Muslims Hijack Islam
For many years we have heard that the jihadists have “hijacked” Islam by arbitrarily picking and choosing what verses of the Koran and teachings of Muhammad, or portions thereof, to follow, while ignoring those that don’t support their actions. In a similar vein, the Ahmadiyyah Muslim Community USA has hijacked Islam with their website Muhammad […]
When and Why the West Began to ‘Demonize’ Muhammad
To understand any phenomenon, its roots must first be understood. Unfortunately, not only do all discussions on the conflict between Islam and the West tend to be limited to the modern era, but when the past, the origins, are alluded to, the antithesis of reality is proffered: we hear that the West — itself a […]
