ws, "Well, that's the point. How could an "illiterate camel driver" speak the elegant words that flowed from his mouth? He was "chanelling" so to speak the word of Allah being delivered by Gabriel (angel, I'm sure you know, means messenger of god)." How do we know what he spoke? Can translate it, so we have to trust others to take the best guess translation at what he said..... And he is a known liar. So what else did he lie about to accomplish his end. So what else did he lie about? "As to whether the Koran contradicts the bible, what's news about that? Lots of things contradict the bible." Yes, you are correct. But does it contradict it, and violate human rights in so many ways. Let's take a closer look at the Holy Qu'ran: --Men are superior to women. "And women shall have rights similar to the rights against them, according to what is equitable; but men have a degree over them". Surah 2:228 --Women have half the rights of men A. In court witness "And get two witnesses out of your own men, and if there are not two men, then a man and two women such as ye choose for witness." Surah 2:282 B. In inheritance "To the male a portion equal to that of two females". Surah 4:11 --A man may punish his wife by beating her "...as to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them, refuse to share their beds, beat them..." Surah 4:34 --A man may marry up to four wives at one time "...Marry women of your choice two, or three or four". Surah 4:3 --A wife is a sex object for her husband "Your wives are as a tilth unto you, so approach your tilth when or how ye will". Surah2:223 --Muslims must fight until their opponents submit to Islam "But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the pagans wherever ye find them...and lie and wait for them...; but if they repent and establish regular prayers and practice regular charity then open the way for them". Surah 9:5 --Christians and Jews are cursed according to Islam "The Jews call Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah's curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the truth". Surah 9:30 --A Muslim apostate must be killed "But if they violate their oath after their covenant, and taunt you for your faith, fight (kill) ye the chiefs of unfaith: for their oaths are nothing to them". Surah 9:12 --Stealing is punished by amputation of the hands "As to the thief, male or female, cut off his or her hands: A punishment by way of example from Allah..." Surah 5:41 --Adultery is punished by public flogging "The women and the men guilty of adultery or fornication, flog each of them with a hundred stripes..." Surah 24:2 --Resisting Islam is punished by death, crucifixion or the cutting off of hands. "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Apostle, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of the hands and feet from opposite sides or exile from the land..." Surah 5:36 --Heaven, in Islam, is the place where a Muslim will be reclining, eating meat and delicious fruits, drinking exquisite wines, and engaging in sex with virgins. "They will recline on carpets whose inner linings will be of rich brocade: the fruit of the gardens will be near. In them will be (Maidens), Chaste, restraining their glances, whom no man or Jinn before them has touched (virgins)." Surah 55:54-46 These are only a few of, as you say, "the elegant words that flowed from his mouth." God Bless, Steve
