Doesn't say much about the books you read or the people you talk to... :)

I can't believe you actually have the nerve to post anything by Anis
Shorrosh.  Ahmed Deedat put him in his place so many times, and he
keeps coming back for more.  I strongly recommend that you watch some
of the videos of their debates in various parts of the world.  I
almost felt sorry for Shorrosh at the end -- the guy just didn't stand
a chance...

>     The fifth wife - Zainab, His Adopted son's Ex-wife

As far as I know, Islam doesn't allow "adoption" in the technical
sense of the word, but it does allow fostering.  The two are not the
same.  Your original claim was that he married his son's wife.  Now it
suddenly has become his "adopted" son.  Do you really know what you're
talking about?

Muhammed (pbuh) had proposed the marriage between Zainab and Zaid, so
when Zaid divorced Zainab, he saw it as his duty to take care of her.
He was reluctant to marry her because others may have thought he was
marrying his son's wife (from your articles, it appears there really
are people who are capable of thinking that! :)) Allah(swt) gave the
answer to this, "Muhammad is not the father of any of you men."

Anis Shorrosh is pathetically wrong.  Just how wrong will become clear
when you watch his debates with Ahmed Deedat.

The reason so many people are getting upset at you is because you make
allegations with a highly provocative flair.  None of them have any
substance to them, and your goal appears to be simply to incite
argument, to insult unnecessarily.  If you *really* want to learn the
truth, you should read authentic Islamic texts, not garbage churned
out by certified losers like Shorrosh.  The very fact that your source
is Shorrosh says a lot about your intentions...

Keep this up, and you'll soon be looking like the Shorrosh of the
net... :)
