Islam promotes lying and killing disbelievers

Revisiting the Carlyle Quote It was irrelevant to whether or not the Qu'ran contains a doctrine of deceit with regards to unbelievers or being under the power of an unbeliever. To that, it speaks nothing. Nevertheless, I responded with my own quote from Carlyle to demonstrate he was harshly critical of the composition of the Qu'ran, but if you wish to make appeals to authority I offer this quote from David Margoliouth saying, "In order to gain his ends he [Muhammad] recoils from no expedient, and he approves of similar unscrupulousness on the part of his adherents, when exercised in his interest. He profits to the utmost from the chivalry of the Meccans, but rarely requites it with the like. He organizes assassinations and wholesale massacres. His career as tyrant of Medina is that of a robber chief, whose political economy consists in securing and dividing plunder ... He is himself an unbridled libertine and encourages the same passion in his followers. For whatever he does he is prepared to plead the express authorization of the deity. It is, however, impossible to find any doctrine which he is not prepared to abandon in order to secure a political end"This is a disagreeable picture for the founder of a religion, and it cannot be pleaded that it is a picture drawn by an enemy"" And does knowing Arabic mean you understand better? No, of course not, we can translate many languages, even ancient ones, but doesn't it seem odd that you claim to have a religion for all people in the world but then claim it is a language no one can understand? Most Muslims doesn't speak it either. Qu'ran & Deception As for the verse (S. 3:54, S. 7:99, S. 8:30, S. 10:21, & S. 13:42), these were just demonstrating the allah himself is a deceiver. 3:54 shows that allah is the best deceiver. 7:99 is another verse about allah's makra (deception) - Afaaminoo makra Allahi fala ya/manu makra Allahi illa alqawmu alkhasiroona. The "nation of losers" is a nice touch for the perfect book. 8:30 says allah schemes and deceives, he's the best of them. 10:21 is another example of allah's trickery and here we find he's faster than his creation at it. 13:42 calls Muhammad's deity the best deceiver and liar (falillahi al-makru). The word makir is always used negatively to describe someone dishonest and this is the attribute given to allah. The crucifixion of Jesus, as it relates to allah being a deceiver is clear, it says he made it appear unto them and that means in essence allah deceived people into believing it or at least this is the claim of the Qu'ran. 8:43-44 reveals you are intentionally lying, because the verse says allah made the Meecan army appear little because he knew the Muslims were weak in their hearts. I pointed to this to show he also deceives Muslims. 2:225 was used to demonstrate Muslims have no need to take account of oaths. You say something bad like committing murder, but this could be just as easy as making an oath to a disbeliever that is false. 3:28, it says nothing about preference, rather it is a total rejection of disbelievers and the only friendship you can have is out of fear. Unbelievers are called the "vilest of creatures" and Shaykh Muhammad al-Saalih al-'Uthaymeen explained, "Undoubtedly the Muslim is obliged to HATE the enemies of Allaah and to disavow them, because this is the way of the Messengers and their followers..." 16:106 permits Muslims to express unbelief with their tongues as long as their heart stays true to Islam. It becomes much clearer when a person understands that Muslims are eternally at war with unbelievers and in nations full of unbelievers they are permitted to use deception hence Muhammad's statement, "War is deceit." In Tabari 8:23, Muhammad said, "Make them abandon each other if you can so that they will leave us; for war is deception." Also, in the Hadith, Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "Khosrau will be ruined, and there will be no Khosrau after him, and Caesar will surely be ruined and there will be no Caesar after him, and you will spend their treasures in Allah's Cause." He called, "War is deceit'. - Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 52, Number 267 This is not a play on arabic words, there is no such thing as secular war in Islam, and clearly using deception is bread and butter to Islamic warfare, which is against all unbelievers (S. 9:29) and as Muhammad said, " I have been commanded to fight against people so long as they do not declare that there is no god but Allah, and he who professed it was guaranteed the protection of his property and life on my behalf except for the right affairs rest with Allah." Other Rebuttals As for the meaning of Al-Fitnah, as related in S. 2:193, it is explicitly referring to shirk and kufr, which is verified in the Tafsir Ibn Kathir - "(...until there is no more Fitnah) meaning, Shirk. This is the opinion of Ibn `Abbas, Abu Al-`Aliyah, Mujahid, Al-Hasan, Qatadah, Ar-Rabi`, Muqatil bin Hayyan, As-Suddi and Zayd bin Aslam." Again, another deception. The proposterous nonsense about Al-Fitnah in 2:193 being a test is evidence of you just making it up. As for Ka"b bin Ashraf, he was a poet, and he expressed his opinion that Muhammad was a phony prophet and he supported the Quraysh. Your history is all wrong because he was assassinated by Muhammad while Muhammad was at Medina. The claim he plotted to assassinate Muhammad is a lie. Muhammad had him killed for insulting him, which Muslims assure us is an offense punishable by death, and he permitted lying and deception to achieve it in the night. It was murder. Do not forget Al Nadr ibn al-Harith, Al-Harith bin Suwayd al-Ansari, Abdullah ibn Ubayy, Fartana, Quraybah, Huwayrith ibn Nafidh, and many others belong to Muhammad's Dead Poet's Society. Medina wasn't a democracy (roaring with laughter) and Muhammad ordering cold-blooded murders to be carried out is not an example of due process through a judicial institution! He was judge, jury, and his loyal assassins were the executioners. Ibn Ishaq wrote, "Ka"b"s body was left prostrate [humbled in submission]. After his fall, all of the Nadir Jews were brought low. Sword in hand we cut him down. By Muhammad"s order we were sent secretly by night. Brother killing brother. We lured him to his death with guile. Traveling by night, bold as lions, we went into his home. We made him taste death with our deadly swords. We sought victory for the religion of the Prophet." The dishonesty coming from you is immense. Lastly, the Hadith is clear that a man may lie by presenting false witnesses claiming to be married to a woman and you are again being dishonest, "...and then a man, by playing a trick presents two false witnesses that he has married her with her consent and the judge confirms his marriage as a true one, and the husband knows that the witnesses were false ones, then there is no harm for him to consummate his marriage with her and the marriage is regarded as valid." More Sources Ibn Kathir - "(unless you indeed fear a danger from them) meaning, except those believers who in some areas or times fear for their safety from the disbelievers. In this case, such believers are allowed to show friendship to the disbelievers outwardly, but never inwardly. For instance, Al-Bukhari recorded that Abu Ad-Darda' said, "We smile in the face of some people although our hearts curse them. Al-Bukhari said that Al-Hasan said, "The Tuqyah is allowed until the Day of Resurrection." "Jalal al-Din al-Suyuti in his book, "al-Durr al-Manthoor Fi al-Tafsir al- Ma"athoor,"narrates Ibn Abbas", the most renowned and trusted narrator of tradition in the sight of the Sunnis, opinion regarding al-Taqiyya in the Qur"anic verse: "Let not the believers take for friends or helpers unbelievers rather than believers: if any do that, (they) shall have no relation left with Allah except by way of precaution ("tat-taqooh"), that ye may guard yourselves ("tooqatan") from them....(3:28)"that Ibn Abbas said: "al-Taqiyya is with the tongue only; he who has been coerced into saying that which angers Allah (SWT), and his heart is comfortable (i.e., his TRUE faith has not been shaken.), then (saying that which he has been coerced to say) will not harm him (at all); (because) al- Taqiyya is with the tongue only, (not the heart)." Note: The two words "tat-taqooh"and "tooqatan,"as mentioned in the Arabic Qur"an, are BOTH from the same root of "al-Taqiyya." "It is narrated in al-Sirah al-Halabiyyah, v3, p61, that: After the conquest of the city of Khaybar by the Muslims, the Prophet (S) was approached by Hajaj Ibn `Aalat and told: "O Prophet of Allah: I have in Mecca some excess wealth and some relatives, and I would like to have them back; am I excused if I bad-mouth you (to escape persecution)?"The Prophet (S) excused him and said: "Say whatever you have to say."" "It is narrated by al-Ghazzali in his book, "Ihya `Uloom al-Din,"that: Safeguarding of a Muslim"s life is a mandatory obligation that should be observed; and that LYING is permissible when the shedding of a Muslim"s blood is at stake." [1] Abrogation (Limited Space, Limited Rebuttal) Abrogation comes from the Qu'ran (S. 2:106, S. 13:39, S. 16:101, S. 17:85-86, & S. 87:6-7), Abrogation is found in the Sunnah many times (Sahih Bukhari 6:60:68, Sahih Bukhari 6:60:53, Sahih Muslim 003:0675, Sahih Muslim 4:1433, etc.), and it is confirmed by many Islamic scholars otherwise you ought to explain why your Qiblah is no longer toward Jerusalem and why you don't make Salat 50 times a day. Muhammad Al-Zurqani states: "Early generations of Muslim scholars (salaf al-ummah) had consensus of opinion over the fact that there occurred abrogation in the Islamic law." It is a unanimous opinion among Islamic scholars. [1] http://www.al-islam.org...
