Pertinent questions

Submitted by S.C. Panda (India), Dec 20, 2002 at 04:13

Dear Prof Pipes,

Please ask Hussien Ibish and persons of his persuation the following questions:

1) Why Prophet Mohammed had about a dozen of wives and two dozen concubines?
2) Didn't he introduce conversion at the pain of death?
3) His classification of human beings as: a)Muslims, b) people of the Book viz. Jews and Chritians and c) infidels/kafirs - Does it not go against the Human Rights known today?
4) Why there is Blasphemy Laws in most of the Islamic countries? Allah is so weak that needs that support?
5) When Old and New Testaments, Hindu Scriptures had been critically examined, what prevents the Koran being subjected to such studies?

I wonder why the media whether in the USA, Europe or India are so indulgent towards Islam and Muslims?
Any comments please?

Regards, Sincerely,
S.C. Panda
