Postcard from Muhammad

A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? And did they get you to trade ... your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? And did you exchange ... a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?" - Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here. From a reasonable mind's perspective- with the ambiguity of all that is Islam- one must conclude that since Muslims dramatically fail to make any coherent distinction between what is good and what is evil, and what is moral and what is immoral, then the same is true for making any distinction between what would fairly represent God and Satan. But before we embark on the issue of distinction between God and Satan, we'll examine how the Muslim mind fails to distinguish between basic good and evil. Our first stop on our journey of the Muslim mind will be with Dr. Zakir Naik. This prolific ambassador of Islam has for years been circulating in the lecture circuit in various nations around the globe. In one such lecture Dr. Naik was quoted with the following statement: "Every Muslim should be a terrorist. A terrorist is a person who causes terror. The moment a robber sees a policeman he is terrified. A policeman is a terrorist for the robber. Similarly every Muslim should be a terrorist for the antisocial elements of society, such as thieves, dacoits and rapists. Whenever such an anti-social element sees a Muslim, he should be terrified. It is true that the word 'terrorist' is generally used for a person who causes terror among the common people. But a true Muslim should only be a terrorist to selective people i.e. anti-social elements, and not to the common innocent people. In fact a Muslim should be a source of peace for innocent people." In almost all English dictionaries that I could find, the definition of a terrorist is summed up as follows: "A radical who employs terror as a political weapon; usually organizes with other terrorists in small cells; often uses religion as a cover for terrorist activities." - Dictionary.com So what is Dr. Naik actually saying here? Since the accepted definition of a terrorist is what I posted, then how could a policeman- who represents justice- ever be considered a terrorist for trying to catch a robber? Should we also consider lawyers, judges, prosecutors and the neighborhood parking ticket cop as terrorists? My my, but isn't the Muslim mind a total travesty of the human condition? Dr. Naik is encouraging Muslims to regard themselves as terrorists, and by the definition he prescribes, a Muslim is to become a terrorist to "anti-social elements." So what does he mean by anti-social elements? Who are the "innocent people?" You will notice that Dr. Naik said "Whenever such an anti-social element sees a Muslim, he should be terrified." He is clearly differentiating between a Muslim and an anti-social element; a non Muslim. For example, if a Christian or Hindu were to live in a Muslim dominated social setting, he would be considered anti-social due to his/her beliefs. Therefore, Dr, Naik is promoting terrorism against non-Muslims. In a Muslim society, it is only the Muslims who are considered "common innocent people," because in a Muslim society the common people would be Muslim. Hence, not only is Dr. Naik utterly failing to understand the true meaning of the word "terrorist," but he is also trying to twist the meaning of the word into some glorious and righteous state of being. He is taking a word which has been universally accepted all over the world as meaning something evil and trying to present it as something good. With Islamic teachings such as what Dr. Naik is propagating, is it any wonder why ordinary Muslims cannot discern the difference between right and wrong? As long as the Dr. Naiks of the world continue to preach this deception to Muslims, and Muslims eating it up like candy, the non Muslims of the world should never let down their guard in the presence of Muslims. Dr. Naik's teachings are immoral, but he doesn't realize it. To him, he's right, and there's no telling him otherwise. His teachings are a poison upon humanity, and a threat to human rights all over the earth. His mind is so utterly poisoned by Islam that he's incapable of distinguishing right from wrong. He is a victim of the very same narcissist personality disorder as Muhammad had, and the reason is because he is emulating Muhammad. So, with this kind of twisted thinking being thrust into Islamic minds since birth, since they've been rendered incapable of discerning good from evil, why then do they believe they could tell the difference between God and Satan? Even their self-appointed prophet Muhammad admitted to being deceived by Satan when he wrote the following verses in the original Quran: "Near it is the Garden of Abode. Behold, the Lote-tree was shrouded (in mystery unspeakable!) (His) sight never swerved, nor did it go wrong! For truly did he see, of the Signs of his Lord, the Greatest! Have ye seen Lat. and 'Uzza, And another, the third (goddess), Manat? These are the exalted cranes (intermediaries) whose intercession is to be hoped for. What! for you the male sex, and for Him, the female? Behold, such would be indeed a division most unfair!" (an-Najm 53:19-22) Muhammad claimed he was tricked by the devil into adding a verse in the Koran that commanded Muslims to pray to Allah's three pagan daughters Lat, Uzza and Manat. This story is factual, and can be found in the earliest biographies of Muhammad, as well as the Hadiths. Here is the evidence: "Direct Evidence of the Satanic Verses: We know of the Satanic verses from four different early Muslim scholars who were biographers of Mohammed. Al-Wahidi/Wakidi (died 207/823 A.D.) wrote Asbab al-Nozul. "On a certain day, the chief men of Mecca, assembled in a group beside the Kaaba, discussed as was their wont the affairs of the city; when Mahomet appeared and, seating himself by them in a friendly manner, began to recite in their hearing the 53 Sura.... 'And see ye not Lat and Ozza, and Manat the third besides?' When he had reached this verse, the devil suggested an expression of the thoughts which for many a day had possessed his soul; and put in to his mouth words of reconciliation and compromise, the revelation of which he had been longing for from God, namely; 'These are the exalted Females, and verily their intercession is to be hoped for.' The Coreish were surprised and delighted with this acknowledgement of their deities; and as Mahomet wound up the Sura with the closing words 'Wherefore bow down before God, and serve him' the whole assembly prostrated themselves with one accord on the ground and worshipped. ... In the evening Gabriel visited him; and the prophet recited the Sura unto him. And Gabriel said, 'What is this that thou has done? Thou has repeated before the people words that I never gave unto thee'. So Mahomet grieved sore, ..." Ibn Sa'ad/Sa'd (died 230/845 A.D.), was aware of al-Wahidi's work, but he himself was a biographer who wrote a 15-volume Kitab al Tabaqat al Kabir. Ibn Isaq/Ishaq (died 145/767 or 151/773 A.D.) was a Shafi'ite Sunni who later started his own short-lived school. He wrote Sirat Rasullallah (The Life of Allah's Prophet). "[The emigrants] remained where they were [in Ethiopia] until they heard that the people of Mecca had accepted Islam and prostrated themselves. That was because the chapter of The Star [Sura 53] had been sent down to Mohammed and the apostle recited it. Both Muslim and polytheist listened to it silently until he reached his words 'Have you seen al-Lat and al-uzza?' They gave ear to him attentively while the faithful believed [their prophet]. Some apostatized when they heard the 'saj' of the Satan and said, 'By Allah we will serve them (the cranes) so that they may bring us near to Allah'. The Satan taught these two verses to every polytheist and their tongues took to them easily. This weighed heavily upon the apostle until Gabriel came to him and complained...." (He mentions the chain of transmission as Yazid bin Ziyad -> Mohammed bin Ishaq -> Salama -> Ibn Hamid -> ibn Isaq Ibn Jarir al-Tabari (died 923 A.D.) was a Shafi'ite Sunni who wrote a 38-volume Islamic History of the world until 915 A.D. He has been titled "the sheikh of commentators". He writes in volume 6 p.108-110, "When the messenger of God saw how his tribe turned their backs on him and was grieved to see them shunning the message he had brought to them from God, he longed in his soul that something would come to him from God which would reconcile him with his tribe.... And when he came to the words: 'Have you thought upon al-Lat and al-Uzza and Manat, the third, the other?' Satan cast on his tongue, because of his inner debates and what he desired to bring to his people, the words: 'These are the high flying cranes; verily their intercession is accepted with approval [alternately: to be desired or hoped for].' When the Quraysh heard this, they rejoiced and were happy and delighted at the way in which he spoke of their gods, and they listened to him, while the Muslims, having complete trust in their prophet in respect of the message which he brought from god, did not suspect him of error, illusion, or mistake. ... Then [later] Gabriel came to the Messenger of God and said, 'Mohammed, what have you done? You have recited to the people that which I did not bring to you from God, ...'" Later Muslim scholars who mention this are: 1. Abu Ma'shar from Chorassan (787-885 A.H.) 2. Ibn Abi Hatim 3. Ibn al-Mundhir 4. Ibn Hajar from Asqalaan (773-852 A.H) 5. Ibn Mardauyah 6. Musa ibn 'Uqba 7. Zamakhshari's famous commentary, on Sura 22:52. (1070-1143 A.D.) Indirect Evidence of the Satanic Verses: The Qur'an and Bukhari Hadiths: Bukhari died around 870 A.D. (even later than three of the four sources listed.) Bukhari vol.6:385 (p.363) says that when Mohammed spoke the Star Sura, pagans as well as Muslims bowed. Abu Dawud vol.1:1401 p.369 says the same. Pagans were not said to bow for any of Mohammed's other recitations, why would they be so agreeable to this Sura, especially since Bukhari and Abu Dawud do NOT say those pagans ever became Muslims! Also, Sura 22:52 says, "Never did We send An apostle or a prophet Before thee, but, when he Framed a desire, Satan Threw some (vanity) Into his desire: but God Will cancel anything (vain) That Satan throws in, And God will confirm (And establish) His Signs;..." Sura 17:73-75 says, "And their purpose was To tempt thee away From that which We Had revealed unto thee, To substitute in Our name Something quite different: (In that case), behold! They would certainly have Made thee (their) friend! And had We not Given thee strength, Thou wouldst nearly Have inclined to them A little. In that case We should Have made thee taste Double portion (of punishment) In this life, and an equal portion In death: and moreover Thou wouldst have found None to help thee against Us!" Note that even though some claim Sura 17:73-75 was revealed at the time of the "Ascent of the Prophet", Tabari and Ibn Sa'd wrote that Sura 17:73-75 was revealed about the time of the Satanic verses. Muslims even have a special term for the whisperings of Satan, roughly pronounced "wiswas". http://muslimhope.org/DaughtersOfAllah.htm So there you have it; undeniable proof that the supposed prophet of Islam could not tell the difference between God and Satan when he was writing the Quran. If he could be fooled this easily by Satan, then how can any Muslim in good conscience not accept that he was fooled entirely by Satan? How can any Muslim fully trust the Quran after Muhammad admitted to not being able to tell the difference between God and Satan? For the record, of all the known prophets of the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam), not one other single supposed prophet is ever recorded as being tricked into not knowing the difference between God and Satan. Only Muhammad; he stands alone. When Muhammad could not tell the difference between God and Satan, and Muslim scholars such as Dr. Naik cannot tell the difference between good and evil, how can any Muslim ever accept the Quran and the teachings of Muslim scholars as ever coming from any God? Islam is a total travesty on humanity. Its teachings are the ravings of a literal lunatic who couldn't tell the difference between God and Satan. And Muslims are digesting this Islam and becoming a part of it. There is an old adage that says "you are what you eat," and Muslims are eating Islam and becoming the embodiment of all that is evil. Muslims need to consider the real possibility that if Heaven and Hell exist, then Muhammad would not be in Heaven., not if what he wrote came from Satan as he claimed has previously happened. Instead, they need to consider that if Hell exists, Muhammad is there, and he's sends all Muslims a postcard every day known as the Quran, and between it's lines it says:

WISH YOU WRE HERE!
