The Calcutta Quran Petition

Periodically the issue of lawfare by Muslims comes up, In response, It might be of interest to consider the legal case against the Koran that was brought in India. The reference is the book with title "The Calcutta Quran Petition" by Sita Ram Goel [1]. The issue arose from the violence committed against non-Muslims during the Partition of India. After much study, a case was brought to Court in India which focused on the Koran. The initial request was to have the Koran banned as hate literature with all copies being confiscated by the State authorities. The issues listed in the complaint included that the Koran

1. incites violence

2. disturbs public tranquility

3. promotes, on ground of religion, feelings of enmity, hatred and ill will between different religious communities

4. and insults other religions or religious beliefs of other communities in India.

This list can be found in Goel [1] at the beginning of Chapter 1.

Submitted to the Court were direct quotes from approved copies of the Koran which supported these claims. Only a few of these are listed below. Note that Surah indicates a chapter of the Koran, and ayat is the relevant phrase or paragraph.

1. Inciting violence.

a. Surah 8 ayat 39

Make war on them until idolatry is no more and Allah's religion reigns supreme.

b. Surah 9 ayat 123

Believers! make war on the infidels who dwell around you. Let them find harshness in you.

c. Surah 2 ayat 216

Fighting is obligatory for you, much as you dislike it. But you may hate a thing although it is good for you, and love a thing although it is bad for you. Allah knows, but you do not.

d. Surah 9 ayat 111

Allah has purchased of the faithful their lives and worldly goods and in return has promised them the Garden. They will fight for his cause, slay and be slain.

2. Disturbing public tranquility.

a. Surah 9 ayat 36

Allah ordained the months twelve in number when He created the Heavens and the Earth. Of these four (Dhi-Qa'ada, Dhul-Hajja, Muharram and Rajab) are sacred according to the true faith. ...

Surah 9 ayat 5

When the sacred months are over, slay the idol-worshipers where ever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them. If they repent and take to prayer and pay the alms-tax, let them go their way. Allah is forgiving and merciful.

Surah 9 ayats 2-3

... Allah will humble the unbelievers ... Allah and his apostle are free from obligation to the idol-worshipers ... Proclaim a woeful punishment to the unbelievers.

Surah 48 ayat 29

Muhammad is Allah's apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to the unbelievers but merciful to one another ... Through them Allah seeks to enrage the unbelievers.

3. A few examples of the Koran of promoting feelings of enmity, hatred and ill will between different religious communities.

a. Surah 60 ayat 4

"We renounce you (i.e. idol worshipers); enmity and hate shall reign between us until you believe in Allah only."

b. Surah 9 ayat 23

"Believers! do not befriend your fathers or your brothers, if they choose unbelief in preference to faith. Wrongdoers are those that befriend them."

c. Surah 5 ayat 51

"Believers! take neither Jews nor Christians for your friends. They are friends with one another. Whoever of you seeks their friendship shall become one of their number. Allah does not guide the wrongdoers."

4. A few examples from the Koran of insulting other religions.

a. Surah 98 ayat 6

"The unbelievers among the people of the Book (i.e. the Christians and the Jews) and the pagans shall burn forever in the fire of Hell. They are the vilest of all creatures."

b. Surah 21 ayats 98-100

"You and your idols shall be the fuel of Hell; therein you shall all go down. Were they true Gods, your idols would not go there; but in it they shall abide forever. They shall groan with pain and be bereft of hearing."

To be noted is that these are the aggressive Medina verses of the Koran which abrogated the peaceful verses from the earlier Meccan period of prophecy.

The Muslims in the sub-continent responded to the lawsuit with physical violence. After riots in India and Bangladesh the judges made a quick decision to reject the petition. The petitioners submitted further documents asking for reconsideration but this was also rejected.

The author of the book felt that instead of banning the Koran, it would be best to expose the Koran for the hate literature that it is.

With the imperative to commit violence and make war on the part of Muslims against non-Muslims, a question can be asked if Islam is a conspiracy to overthrow any State considered not Islamic. This can also be used against states considered not properly Islamic by a denomination of their faith.

Other theologies do not have the corresponding imperatives in their main Holy Book. People following other theologies may be surprised at the vehemence that exists in the Koran.

Islam is at odds with western civilization. It should be banned everywhere.

Thanks for the link. Towards the end:

"The offending expressions contained in the Koran and quoted in paragraphs 4, 5 and 6 above are not so offensive in their translation in which they are so quoted as they are in the original verses in Arabic or in Urdu, the very sound of whose inimitable symphony not only sends the Muslims to tears and ecstasy but arouses in them the worst communal passions and religious fanaticism, which have manifested themselves in murder, slaughter, loot, arson, rape and destruction or desecration of holy places in historical times as also in contemporary period not only in India but almost all over the world.

I am sorry more Freepers are not adding to this thread. Islam is supremacist, misogynistic and Jew hatred and the "break the cross" sentiments need be further known.

Again, thanks.

In was INSANE (or at least monumentally stupid) for India to slice off two large chunks of itself to give to the Indian Muhammadans in which to create their own self-ruled Muhammadan homeland and not A. expel every last Muhammadan, and B. make the practice of Muhammadanism within what was left of the nation illegal.

Gentlemen, for your consideration for your ping lists. The direct koranic quotes calling for war and murder by muslims against all comers are hair raising.

Do the Buddhists threaten to kill all the Hindus? Do the Confucians threaten to murder all the followers of Lao Tzu? Of course not.

If a million Marxists say their belief system is a religion, do they get recognized as one? Do they get the tax exemptions available for religious properties? Of course not.

How can Islam possibly be considered a religion with the content of their Koran? It is not a religion but simply a conspiracy to overthrow any non Muslim state.

Adherents of Islam constitute the world’s second largest religious group. According to a study in 2015, Islam has 1.8 billion adherents, making up about 24% of the world population. Most Muslims are either of two denominations: Sunni (80-90%, roughly 1.5 billion people) or Shia (10–20%, roughly 170-340 million people).

Islam by country - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_by_country

Of all the studies conducted it is estimated that 680 million Muslims can be considered radical.

It’s chilling how authoritarian they are. They are against others free speech, against protesting anything they do, etc. They just want their law and order.... - their freedom of speech. As per the koran they must invade, kill, conqueror, subjugate at least that’s what I’ve read in the two or three I’ve read and scanned through as many others of the what 19 or 20 of them?

(The 20 Versions of the Qur’an today. (7 are recorded in the Hadith.) There are the readings or Qira’at then there are also twelve different ways of reading the Quran. The most well-known and popular are Hafs and Warsh.)

For them it’s sharia and nothing else. Tho islam and moslems being just another jumped up death cult with a thugocracy thrown in for fun it shouldn’t surprise anyone that they are destructive.

It’s no surprise to anyone who has dealt with the average moslems is that moslem’s don’t get along well with others and have issues with low IQ, little or no impulsed control and the intermarrying of first cousins with the eventual genetic results.

It’s not anecdotal word of mouth it’s history written in the blood and suffering of others.

Ask the Indians, the Armenians, the Yazidis, the Greeks.

It’s all about history and conduct. Oddly a lot of people have a problem with both the past and present.

Recently Japan took in 27 refuges last year and two were arrested for gang rape while waiting on their legal status. Not real bright nor thought out. Japan does not play with, nor coddle prisoners. They are going to do lots of hard time.

https://www.tokyoreporter.com/japan-news/breaking/tokyo-cops-arrest-turkish-asylum-seekers-in-gang-rape-of-woman/

Japan has a unique approach with moslems.

http://magaimg.net/img/7wbj.png

Almost daily, weekly, hell hourly we hear of one assault, atrocity after another but hey it’s just part and parcel of living with moslems tho I suspect that more and more people are not seeing that a ‘fait accompli’ but something that can be arrested, restricted and blocked.

The wheels are turning and the out comes may be very different then what the progressives and globalist think they will be.

The next few years are going to be interesting.

As I said more and more people at finally realizing that islam is nothing more then a jumped up death cult with a thugocracy thrown in for fun and giggles.
