If God allowed Mohammed to (for a time) allow himself to believe that the "Satanic Verses" (or satanic doctrine) that Al-lh had three daughters: Al-lat, Al-manat and Al-Uzza and then later told Mohammed that that doctrine that Mohammed himself believed for a time (and taught others to believe) were in fact not from Him but from Satan, how can Muslims be absolutely certain that it wasn't Satan impersonating Al-lah --- and telling Mohammed that he was given error when in fact he was given truth the first time around (while pretending to be Al-lah), so as to muddle up the...

Or, that Islam is a brutally misogynistic ideology bent on the wholesale murder of women who dare show a little ankle. Oh, and did I forget to mention that its founder, Mohammed–had an unquenchable penchant for little girls? In short: Islam is evil. With that established–allow me to enlighten you as to what insanity our Pentagon is currently engaged in. The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) just announced that it will be providing our military with chaplains for active-duty service. That’s right–our Pentagon is...

Pope Francis’ insistence in his new apostolic exhortation that “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Quran are opposed to every form of violence” is drawing negative reviews from some analysts of the religion who point to the Islamic holy book’s calls to wage war against nonbelievers. “How does he know that? When did he become an imam?” wonders columnist Pamela Geller. She notes as an example the Quranic passage that states: “So when you meet those who disbelieve [in battle], strike [their] necks.” “At a time when Christianity worldwide is under siege by Islamic jihadists, the leader of...

Others fled and sought refuge in shops, bank vaults and store rooms as grenades exploded and bullets fired around them. The fortunate ones managed to emerge blood-splattered and

More and more people join the crowd as they push me towards the home of the village headman. I recognize the house — it’s the only one that has a garden with grass growing in it. They throw me to the ground. The village imam speaks to me: “I’ve been told you’ve insulted our Prophet. You know what happens to anyone who attacks the holy Prophet Mohammed. You can redeem yourself only by conversion or death.” “I haven’t done anything! Please! I beg you! I’ve done nothing wrong!”
