In the Qur’an there are about 109 violent jihad verses. A few of them can be spread as defense upon reading the verse they give you solely, but reading the verses before and after what they give you, it shows that it was not defensive at all…apologists claim jihad is not a Holy War, but according to the “Reliance of the Traveller a Classic Manual of Islamic Sacred Law” Book O, chapter 9 states that “Jihad means to war against non-Muslims…signifying to establish the religion”
Upon reading the Qur’an, ahadith (Hadiths) and the Sira (Life of Muhammad, what all Muslims are supposed to mimic), the amount of trilogy text devoted to jihad is astounding…remember, the Sira is the life of Muhammad and is supposed to followed to a T by Muslims, just like Christians are to mimic (so to speak) Jesus Christ’s actions…
Want to explain difference between the Medinan Qur’an and the Mecca Qur’an…the Meccan Qur’an was the first number of suras written when Muhammad was a peaceful preacher, the Medinan Qur’an is the last dozen or so suras that were written when he became a warrior
Islam as a whole was using the Orwellian term in Newspeak, Doublethink, with finesse and widespread application, from the beginning.
Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.
Muslims are past masters of the art.
They use the third-person singular form of the verb to refer to the actions of third-person plural subjects? In Arabic, IIRC, if the verb is placed first in the sentence (as it frequently is), the verb is singular even if the subject is plural.
