Do your homework yourselfReader comment on item: [Pew Poll on] How Muslims Think Submitted by G.Bisvas (Germany), Jul 2, 2006 at 06:58 to saladin The kuran is your book , not mine. You call it holy. It is your duty to find out where the contradictions in the kuran are. If foul smell is coming out of your house then I can and must only complain about it to you. It is not my duty to go into your house and find out what the source of this foul smell is, let alone clean it up. You have to do it yourself. I know the tricks which muslims use in religious debates. First you have to learn to recognise what a contradiction is. Sometimes one has to wait till the praxis phase comes up before a contradiction makes itself known. That there are contradictions in the kuran is obvious from the fact that the muslims are so confused and so full of internal squabbles, even leading to a lot blood-shed among them (and that since 1400 years). One serious contradiction is that on the one hand the kuran says there is no compulsion in religion and then threatens the non-muslims with all kinds of punishments and insults after death (which is a way of compelling people by resorting to threats and insults) and the ex-muslims even with a cruel assassination. But it is not my wish to help you find the contradictions in the kuran. You have to do it yourself. I am not an inexperienced man to fall for your typical muslim debate tricks. Early muslim scholars of the kuran noticed many (but not all) of these contradictions and invented the concept of "mansukh" (abrogated verses) to try to transcend them. (mansukh = later ayats abrogate the earlier ayats). Why was that necessary? Develop the attitude and the freedom to say: "I want to find out the contradictions in the kuran " and then read the kuran. I am not your servant that I am going to do it for you. You muslims are taught to stop independent thinking and become mentally subservient. Islam means submission, that is, mental slavery. An ideology with such a name can hardly be the harbinger of truth, justice and human rights. And you muslims prove this every day. You find out with sincerity and courage why muslims are squabbling and kiling each other - and you will have your answer and you can be proud of having found it yourself. Since you tried to make it easy for me, let me make it easy for you. Help you can get from certain websites - I don't have to repeat what they write - which are opposing islam. What the addresses of these websites are - that you can find out yourself too. If your islam (=mental slavery) had taught you to be a self-respecting, independent-thinking, honestly-critical man then you would have found out these websites long ago. Just a few clicks on your computer. But don't try any debate-tricks with me - I am too experienced with muslim debate-makers to fall for them. I am interested in stopping islamism's expeditions of deceit and violence around the world. Debates I have had enough.
