Ms. Kidd charges ALL Muslims of being a whole bunch of murders and terrorists who dominate the USA and replace its constitution with "terrible" Shariah (Islamic Jurisprudence), and definitely believes that the main source of Islam, which is the Qur'an, calls for violence. She also charged the Prophet of Islam with a few things, which have been repeatedly main issues for orientalists to smear Islam since it started to spread, thus creating a threat to Christian Catholicism whose history is saturated with crimes against humanity, and whose hands are soaked in blood of Jews, Muslims and atheists.
Reading the above very carefully, the prophet said "I've been ordered", which means that that was one of his duties to carry out at that time. Consequently, Muslims Nowadays are not bound by that "hadith". Some Muslim extremists might have wrongfully expanded the meaning of the hadith to serve their own personal agenda. But those rotten apples in no way represent, now or ever, the Muslim "Ummah/ nation". As I repeatedly explained, one cannot judge the greater sum by his /her judgement of the the lesser sum. It is not logical. However, it seems that Ms. Kidd is blinded by her biase, hatred, anger, and fear, therefore logic just quickly seeped through her finger like mercury.
All verses in the Qur'an regarding warring and killing have been situationaly revealed, i.e. revealed to address certain cituations that occured then. In the meantime, the Qur'an says (my translation) "if they (your enemy) opt to peace (a truce or end the war), you (Muslim army) has to to opt to peace, too". So Ms. Kidd, don't blame Muslims for not being "meek" when the situation doesn't require "meekness". Jesus himself wasn't as meek as the Christian maltitude believes. He was zealot and revelutionary, and of course as meek as a lamb when it was required. Moses wasn't meek at all.
"SHOWDOWN: THE HOLY BIBLE vs. THE QURAN". why not "THE HOLY BIBLE vs. THE HOLY QURAN". Give Muslims some curtesy! They believe that their book is holy, too. And while we are still on the topic of wars and violence, here are a few Biblical verses out of many so that you can peruse and contemplate:
"However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes", "Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass".
"O daughter of Babylon, O destroyed one, O the happiness of him who repayeth to thee thy deed, that thou hast done to us", "O the happiness of him who doth seize, And hath dashed thy sucklings on the rock!".
17 "Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man,", 18 "but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man"Jews and Christians never get tired of falsely charging the Phrophet of Islam, Muhammad, with being a womanizer, a child molester, and a homosexual.
Well, Mohammad is not any of the above. Now let me explain the above three charges, one by one, and demonstrate that they absolutely have no ground whatsoever to stand on.
Is Muhammad a child-molester (How to explain his marriage to Aisha at nine)?

SHOWDOWN: THE HOLY BIBLE vs. THE QURAN
By: Devvy Kidd
December 25, 2006
Well, in a hadith (Muhammad's sayings), Muhammad mentioned that he has been ordered [by God] to fight people until they say there is no God but only one God [Allah].
Reading the above very carefully, the prophet said "I've been ordered", which means that that was one of his duties to carry out at that time. Consequently, Muslims Nowadays are not bound by that "hadith". Some Muslim extremists might have wrongfully expanded the meaning of the hadith to serve their own personal agenda. But those rotten apples in no way represent, now or ever, the Muslim "Ummah/ nation". As I repeatedly explained, one cannot judge the greater sum by his /her judgement of the the lesser sum. It is not logical. However, it seems that Ms. Kidd is blinded by her biase, hatred, anger, and fear, therefore logic just quickly seeped through her finger like mercury.
All verses in the Qur'an regarding warring and killing have been situationaly revealed, i.e. revealed to address certain cituations that occured then. In the meantime, the Qur'an says (my translation) "if they (your enemy) opt to peace (a truce or end the war), you (Muslim army) has to to opt to peace, too". So Ms. Kidd, don't blame Muslims for not being "meek" when the situation doesn't require "meekness". Jesus himself wasn't as meek as the Christian maltitude believes. He was zealot and revelutionary, and of course as meek as a lamb when it was required. Moses wasn't meek at all.
"SHOWDOWN: THE HOLY BIBLE vs. THE QURAN". why not "THE HOLY BIBLE vs. THE HOLY QURAN". Give Muslims some curtesy! They believe that their book is holy, too. And while we are still on the topic of wars and violence, here are a few Biblical verses out of many so that you can peruse and contemplate:
Deuteronomy 20:16
"However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes", "Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass".
Wow! Kill infants, sucklings!!! This is a God who lost his mind. No wonder the Talmudic Zionist Jews have carried out the above to the leeter during their operation "Cast Lead" in Gaza.
Psalm 137:8-9
"O daughter of Babylon, O destroyed one, O the happiness of him who repayeth to thee thy deed, that thou hast done to us", "O the happiness of him who doth seize, And hath dashed thy sucklings on the rock!".
WOW! dashed the sucklings on the rok, like women by the river beatin the hell out of their cloth on a rock. I'm very disgusted.
Numbers 31:17-18 (New International Version)
17 "Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man,", 18 "but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man"Jews and Christians never get tired of falsely charging the Phrophet of Islam, Muhammad, with being a womanizer, a child molester, and a homosexual.
Is the GOD of Israel (Yahweh) a pedophile? Numbers 31:35-40: 32,000 women, who had never slept with a man, out of them the tribute for the LORD was 32.
Could GOD Almighty's share of the 32 virgin girls be metaphoric, meaning that He didn't come down and have sex with them?
If any wants to call Muhammad a pedophile or womanizer for marrying (not forcing into sex) a young girl and marrying multiple women throughout his life, then he should not only call his Biblical Prophets as such, but also the GOD of Israel Himself!
Well, Mohammad is not any of the above. Now let me explain the above three charges, one by one, and demonstrate that they absolutely have no ground whatsoever to stand on.
Is Muhammad a child-molester (How to explain his marriage to Aisha at nine)?
I want to start with a hypothitical conversation between Mr. X and Mr. Y
"What's your say on some one who married or had sexual intercourse with a 16 years old girl who had not yet reached maturity or puberty?”, Mr. X asked his friend Mr. Y “Well, the law says 16 years of age is the age of marriage, " Mr. Y answered, and then added, "But I have to admit that I don’t think that’s right” - “Exactly! Is the issue age here?" Mr. X exclaimed, "It is maturity. If a nine year old girl has reached puberty and is mature then what is the problem?”
Aswering a question with a question is an excelent way of approaching a problem. It is thought-provoking. Often the question forces the questioner to answer his/her own question within the response.
What is important here is not some random age. It is well known that humans in hot countries mature much faster that humans in colder climates. I searched this very issue, and I discovered that the earliest recorded of an early-age pregnancy was an eight year old girl in South America! Aisha was therefore mature enough for this marriage. These are some other issues that could be mentioned: 1. it was God who ordered the marriage of Aisha to the Prophet, 2. marrying the Prophet at such a young age, Aisha was raised, nurtured and became an authority on Islam. It is a fact that she became one of this religion's greatest Scholars, 3. surely any objection to such a young marriage can only be made if it can be shown that some harm was caused because of such marriage. On the contrary, all evidences point to the opposite in case of this marriage. It was a marriage full of love and happiness, 4. according to Ibn Sa’d (The Women of Madina ), Aisha was in fact already promised in marriage even before she was married to the Prophet. This shows that arranged marriages at young ages was then quite normal in the Arabian society, 5. Abu-Bakr, Aisha's father, was the one who asked the Prophet why he had not consummated the marriage with Aisha, which he did when she became 12 years old.
Added to the above: 1. many of the Bible's Prophets married girls of the same age. Also, Mary was 12 when she married old Joseph. 2. child brides as young as 8 were common, not exceptions, among the Byzantine emperors and nobility, 3. My own sister, according to the consent age in Egypt married at the age of 16. My sister's marriage is considereded child molestation in some other countries.
The age of sexual consent is still quite low in many places. In Japan, people can legally have sex at age of 13, and in Spain they can legally have sex at age 12, in the Vatican state it is 12. See age of consent in Europe here, Here, and here.
A 40-year-old man having sex with a 14-year-old woman may be a "pedophile" in the USA today, but not in China today where the age of consent is 14, nor in the USA last century.
Stop blowing this Shofar!
Beware of this instrument. It can be bloody
