It is not my desire at all to offend or cause anger in anyone, but to encourage people to question their beliefs and be unbiased in pursuing truth. When it comes to Islam, there are many admirable qualities in the religion and people of the Islamic faith. However, there is only one truth and two cannot simultaneously be correct. Some very worrisome and violent things in the Quran have influenced so many people around the world. It justifies certain behaviors that continue to influence so many generations.
The Quran states that the crucifixion of Jesus Christ didn't happen as was seen. Not only have many historians of the time spoken about this event, thousands witnessed Jesus Christ die and hundreds witnessed Him resurrected, even skeptics. There were extreme measures taken to ensure that no tampering took place. This is the subtle, egregious way that darkness tries to steal salvation by changing the most important event in human history.
The Islamic faith changes what salvation is and steals it from precious souls in the process. The Quran says that Allah is the greatest of deceivers. The true and living God is NOT a deceiver but is sincere and loving in ALL that He does. That feeling and understanding of this deepen in such a profound way after repenting and sincerely choosing to follow Jesus Christ. Being a deceiver is a very well-known quality of the other one, the one that is NOT of the light. There are so many things that say Allah of the Quran is not the Almighty God in my opinion.
The truth of God is the same no matter what. God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow! Islam attempts to change who Jesus Christ is and what salvation is as a gift from God. The reconciliation of a fallen, rebellious species back to its Creator in such a glorious, heartfelt, and inspiring way. There was nothing else needed after the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the writings of the New Testament.
Do you believe that God would wait hundreds of years to form a new doctrine through Muhammad and change the foundations of salvation and understanding of God? Do you believe that is the nature of God to do such a thing? I want those reading this to analyze Muhammad's life. Compare him to the prophets of the Bible. There are such stark differences, it's amazing that so many disregard this and don't realize that all true prophets of God have certain qualities in common.
The way Muhammad lived his life differed very much from the prophets of the Bible. It is very easy to be fooled in this world that is so saturated with deceptions. This is why in the book of John (one of Jesus' closest disciples) wrote to test the spirits. This is what Muhammad failed to do, he didn't test the angel that he thought was Gabriel. It is just like many other religions or even different false denominations that are under Christianity (but not of the truth of Christianity) where this has occurred.
It is written in the book of Corinthians, "and no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their actions." Here are some of the actions of Muhammad. If we truly scrutinize and compare him to the prophets of God, we will see he does not at all measure up in the slightest. Many things show this quite clearly. http://adamseekeroftruth.com/MuhammadTheGratestProphet.html
The issue of Aisha's age
I know this has been discussed ad nauseam. Many of the Islamic faith brush it off and refute several sources that are considered very reliable and heavily scrutinized. The Sahih Bukhari is considered to be a trustworthy Hadith. The 9th-century Islamic scholar, Muhammad ibn Isma'il al-Bukhari, states that Aisha was 6 when they married and 9 when they consummated the marriage. In Fath-ul-Bari page 143, Vol.13, Aisha herself writes "I used to play with the dolls in the presence of the Prophet". In the Sunan Abu Dawud (also considered by most to be a reliable Hadith) Aisha states "The Messenger of Allah married me when I was seven years old. He had intercourse with me when I was nine years old." There are AT LEAST three sources that are considered quite solid and reliable by many experts, yet so many will insist Aisha was well into her teens. We do not know with 100% certainty, but no matter what the case is, we can say that it is extremely questionable, depraved, and unethical.
Convenient Revelations
Muhammad started conveniently having "revelations" that allowed rules to change to have special privileges. He married the wife of his adopted son when it wasn't allowed, but then coincidentally got a revelation saying it was. Doing that to an adopted son is unethical, cold-hearted, and selfish to a such an incredible degree. True prophets are not of this nature!
Temporary Marriage
Muhammad made up a rule of temporary marriage. He states "If a man and a woman agree (to marry temporarily), their marriage should last for three nights, and if they like to continue, they can do so; and if they want to separate, they can do so." (Sahih al-Bukhari 5119, Book 67, Hadith 55)
"We used to participate in the holy wars carried out by the prophet (muhammad) and we had no women (wives) with us. So we said "Shall we castrate ourselves?" But the prophet forbade us to do that and thenceforth he allowed us to marry a woman (temporarily) by giving her even a garment, and then he recited: "O you who believe! Do not make unlawful the good things which Allah has made lawful for you." (Vol. 6, Book 60, Hadith 139 from Sahih al-Bukhari) In fact, Allah allowed rape, permitting the men to have sex with the women that were in captivity.
This shows the complete inability to abstain from fleshly desires. While it can be a struggle for all, the true prophets of God would never make up such a thing. This was NEVER ordained by God. This is equivalent to modern-day hooking up and many may have also been in adultery because they had wives at home. Does this sound upright, sanctified, pure, and holy?
Anti-Semitic, inhumane, & immoral at times
It is recorded in Sahih Muslim 1767a that Muhammad states: I will expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula and will not leave any but Muslim. Muhammad tortured people and allowed his men to torture people many times. Allah gave permission to have sex with captives and slave girls. This is allowing rape, adultery, and fornication. They were allowed to have sex with captives and sell them in the next town. They used random women as sex slaves and this was allowed according to the god of islam and muhammad! This is immoral, depraved, totally selfish, and driven by the lusts of the flesh.
