Hi All,
My story is no different than most of the Hindu girls who got married to Muslim boys,i will share my story later,but to all Hindus who are planning to get married to Muslims,they pretty well convince you to convert to Islam on the below grounds
1. that kids wont grow up confused if we both parents follow same religion.and as per Indian culture usually father’s religion or cast is followed in the inter caste or religious cases.
2.Islam is the true religion,and they will convince you on absence of casts,prohibition of alcohol,gambling and how swamis and ashrams and their manipulation is not possible in Islam etc.
3.if you ask them about Islamic invaders and their behaviors they will say they are all bad Muslims,original Islam doesn’t allow that.
anyway I convinced my husband to a maximum extent that the above all a re false after spending at least 2 years in to Islamic research myself.
I asked him below questions for which he had no answers.
so I want all you girls to ask the below questions to your would be husbands when they try to convince you about Islam.
my questions are a long list,but will definitely help you Muslim bfs to review their religion before convincing you on it this time.
here we go,the post is long,please have patience.
1.Do we really need to be part of a religion to love God,to pray to him/her/it.Is it not possible to seek his mercy n blessings just by sincerely praying to him.does he reject your prayer if you say you are not part of his favored religion.
2. Is it always necessary that we should identify ourselves as either Muslims,Christians,or Hindu,Buddhists always?i.e we belong to so and so community.and then fight among each other that each of us got the best version of God. Does a jasmine if called rose loses it’s properties?then why some one called God is humiliated just like us(humans) when out of their ignorance his creation call/perceive differently.
3. What if a non-believer in God/Islam is a really good person,never did any harm to any being,but just only out of his own reasoning(confused/failed with the same brain that god has manufactured) not believed in Him,is he still need to be fried in the hell forever?
4. what if some one believes in god but does not believe in Mohammad as prophet, he is ready to believe in all other prophets other than him,does god put him in hell just for not accepting one of his many messengers? we humans give (all govt organisations) exemptions,can god not give exemptions.
5.Why that even prophet of Islam has taken the path of kings..like going to war,making slaves,marrying many wives and keeping slaves.then how they are called nice people when they did all the cruel things equal to that of a king.keeping many wives is not sin but at the same time not an ideal model also,A husband now a days is suffering to manage a single wife so basically this is not a thing that a last role model of a human race should be doing.when he has 99% probability of being followed ditto from eating to sleeping.
6. love gives love in return & hate is given in return to hate. then through wars on infidels(You say your’s is a peaceful religion but you warn to attack other innocent people when they perceive the God with a brain(created by the same Allah) in a way different to that of yours.This is sanctioned in Quran(refer to queen of sheeba and prophet Suleiman story) can you ever be able to achieve love in return?
you give any name to it but if some one threatens to kill or kills my husband and then take me as a slave even though to be treated nicely i will still call it injustice if the only wrong thing we did is we are not believing the version you are saying and not believing that Mohammad is a prophet.
7. If today there is this new guy, who comes and says that he is the last prophet and the previous scriptures are corrupted so he should be believed,will you believe him? I guess NO,coz the scripture which you believe says that Mohammad is the seal of prophets.So is the same case with the people who believed in the previous scriptures to their respective religions .hence they did not believed him.so for the same reason if this new prophet calls a war on Muslims and take their wives as slaves of course to be treated nicely,will you not call it injustice?for me i will call it injustice irrespective of the victim’s religion.
8. which version of Islam is the proper Islam…..Sunni,Wahhabi,quran only,ahle hadees, shia, ahamadiya, submissionists..please tell me why even under the carpet of Islam itself so many versions?and why they are killing each other in different countries.i know you are not answerable for others behavior but there must be some pattern as this is happening only in Muslim community.
9.what is your opinion on Cursing,is it a good human trait,if that is not good human emotion then why God is cursing some one(ABU LAHEB) because he was not good to prophet.does that mean we are free to curse anyone who is not good to us becoz god himself did that.
10.when comparing all the religions Islam is saying it has got the best version infact the only version approved by god and also un corrupted,then once you get in to Islam, there are so many different communities each calling they have the best version.then is Quran right on saying the fact that it is a clear book?if it is clear book why so many interpretations?
11.I know Quran itself says that it is understandable only by a few,i want to know who are those few in the current world so that i can at least stick to them.but how do some one judge that they have understood it properly?on what basis?where is the basis.
12. Quran can be understood with the help of hadees. but hadees themselves are dependent on Quran for correction,if i buy your argument as quran is the one to go for in case of contradiction,how do you find that there is a discrepency? on what basis?if there is a chance that few hadees are corrupted,what is the basis that all others are not corrupt?
13. Why at one point quran says that people of the book are good. then why again calls jews as apes and pigs.this gives me a strange feeling that God hates both his creations one jews next pigs.
14. why is that God is not particularly fond of women: it gives me a strange feeling that he is a male.he actually has similar mindset to that of men.one such example is: god was threatening the wives of Mohammad that they will be replaced with other submissive woman if they don’t change their ways.for me if my relationship with my husband is not working for whatever reason this is the least thing that can improve it or correct my behaviour. love,respect should come from heart but can not be forced by a warning/Threat.
15. if God he himself recommends that it is advisable to marry only one then why he did allowed four wives and offcourse to the prophet 11 wives and did not put any limit on right hand processors prophet can have(Muslims included)? Right hand processors are part of war booty…..this must be the first instance where a woman is given status of war booty to be distributed among soldiers just like gold n silver.
16. Quran says that slaves should be treated well,but who ensures the good treatment if they are being beaten to death,,slave kids sexually exploited?even though food and clothes are given just like in Indian police cells.regarding the release of slaves what will be the situation of a old woman slave who has been used all her life time and released when she is no more usable for household,sexual purposes.first of all a divine book if at all divine should have straight away said ban slavery,but not,seige them,use them,then release them,whats the point it trying to prove?
17.Why is that when Mohammad requested his believers to treat his wives as mothers and no one should marry them after his death,but he did not respect that right of other soldiers of treating their wives the same way?so all rights are for him only,not for others.
18.why is that when you read Quran you get a feeling that it is by a human and that too from a male/man.jsut like humans, god in quran also have ego(ex: in one of the verses god says a slave and master are not equal,i think relationship between god and his creation is very beautiful it is not even near master and slave kind of relationship. because a slave despises his position in that relationship,he hates his master for keeping him in a bondage) God in quran is also frustrated after a point just like we humans do(calling jews,mushirks as worst of animals) he also have an unforgiving nature(he said he can forgive any other sin other than shirk).the other thing is he curses his own creation for not being good to his favourite creation(Muhammad)
he also thinks that a girl is not as worthy as man because she can’t fight a battle.A 11 month old doesn’t know her gender,but she is still a human,and has every emotion effecting her perfectly.how is she less than any boy of her age?does soul have a gender?
he(Allah) also changes his mind quiet often just like we humans do.at one place he asks to pray in one direction then he changes it to some other direction.(gives a reason that he wants to test the loyality).If Mohammad forgets any verses he says that he made him to forget to bring new and better ones.(this is where the doubts increase to a very higher level)
19.You say that to be a Muslim, one must believe in hadees too,so what is your take on all the voilence on the innocent people that is described.
20.what is your take on the objection abu bakr raised when Mohammad asked for Ayesha?(several hadees saying her age as 6 when 53 yr Mohammad asked for her hand)
21.why female slaves are halal to have sex with out marriage?why marriage is degraded to money related transaction instead of a life long commitment.And why every where Mohammad wants privileges compared to other believers Ex: more wives allowed than others(total 11),no limit on right hand processors/sex slaves he can have even after reaching maximum count for wives.why he needs to have 1/5th of war booty reserved for him,why his widows are not to be married where as he goes on marrying other’s widows.
22. Zaid the adopted son and ex-husband of zeinaab who is a believer is also asked to treat Mohammad’s wives as mothers/mother figures,Is it on earth possible to treat a woman as a mother figure after having sexual relations with that woman?(the woman is in this case i am talking about is Zainab with whom zaid had those relations)
23. zijya tax or protection tax(a protection to not to get killed by Muslims for not accepting Islam). is it ok for a human to treat the other human in such a derogatory manner just because he holds a different opinion to that of yours.(for ex: me,i hate the concept of snatching the properties of the people on the name of holy war and making the wives of the killed humans as sex slaves,no matter how you justify this i will never ever accept it as correct ,forget it if you say it is done under the order of god.Then what you are mentioning here as God is not God but probably an evil spirit.).people tried to convince me that zizya tax is need to be paid by kafirs just as Muslims need to pay zakat. but quran verse says that zizya tax is to humiliate the kafir for their disbelief. zakat is to purify the Muslim sins.there is a big difference between the two.
24. Quran says a believer will have big breasted hoors in the heaven,what is the need to mention big boobs here?by the way a man gets many attractive women where as no mention of what a women will get,it would have been good if he hasn’t mentioned anything for both,or something for both,but once agian i can see that he is bothered about males here,coz they are the ones who will accompany the messenger in battle,and the dead beleivers in the battle are promised heaven with a surity. so for a man the most tempting offer is if you win and live you will get spoils(others money,and woman folk whose only sin was they were kafirs and they needed time to accept this violent fellow’s version of god) if you are dead,you will get wine,big boobed woman.
25.why even believers are cursed when they dont want to kill their neighbors because they dont intend to.i see now how much compulsion is there in your religion as opposed to it’s claim.how can it calim to be non-compulsive when it asks to pay zizya to not to get killed on the basis of religion,when the basis for not to lose your wives,and properties to strangers is religion,when all the privileges to see kaba once open to all was religion.When the only way you can not be called pig,ape,worst of creatures in a derogatory manner is through religion,when you are threatened to be fried in hell for not believing in the version of this guy who is suspicious in almost all his behaviors.
26.A book of divine origin never makes you despise people around you based on their religion,how misleaded they may be,worst still asking for their lives and properties.
some real questions from Quran:
Queen of sheeba and suleiman story
points to be noted.
1.Queen of Sheeba was ruling her kingdom peacefully.she is intelligent and sensible.
It contradicts the Quran in many ways.
Woman handling a highest post possible succesfully, where as Quran says man is superior and maintainer of woman.here she is the maintainer of man taht too without any complaints.
woman witness needs to be 2 in number as they are deficient in memorising(exactly told as if one forgets the other may remind her). where as here she is taking almost all the decisions of the kingdom
Quran says whats the use of a woman who can not fight a battle(belittling the girls for their physical weekness) where as i have plenty of examples from my own country where a woman is also a warrior that too a good one.
2. Suleiman sends a letter to Sheeba because he wanted to see wether hoopoe was saying truth and also wanted them to stop from worshipping the sun.
he says in the letter ” dont be arrogant and come to me in submission”. but it sounds that he is more arroagant by the way he said it especially when he is speaking to some body of equal status.
Why a queen who is ruling her kingdom has to submit to other king just because he is saying there is no worthy of worship except Allah.
On recieving the letter from suleiman Queen of sheeba talks with her council and being a sensible woman she is sends him gifts as thats the most polite way of saying no and at the same time trying maximum to not to hurt other person’s ego.and i think she tried a best solution.even though she is in a powerful position instead of resorting to war she did go for peaceful way.
It is also explained why she took that decision: she says surely the kings when wage a war ruin the villages, and make the people lives degraded. So as she has every right to say NO by her freewill at the same time she knew the bad things a war brings to her people.But contrary to her behaviour Suleiman’s behaviour is insenitive,insensible.
a. It is him who is bothered by her worship but not the other way round.
b. It’s him who is getting infuriated by her refusal and want to wage a war but not her.
c. It is him who is poking his nose in to something that is not his business but not her.
Instead of convincing her or explaining her why he is asking her to follow islam all he can come up with is intention to attack if not accepted.A person will really get offended and will not see any good in the so called relegion if all he can come up with is war,expelling from the land jsut for not getting convinced of his invitation.
it is contradictiong quran in 2 points
Quran says : to me my releigion to you yours.(suleiman could not accept this factor and got angry for refusing instead of accepting the fact that they are not intrested in his version.
Quran says: there is no compulsion in religion. where as here he is compelling her to accept the religion using different tactics: threatinening with war,asking his jinns to get her throne without her knowledge.both are saying different to what it claims to be a peaceful religion.
so moral of the story is even if the people are peaceful and in no way are stopping muslims from following their religion still prophets can attack or intend to attack the people of other religions because they believe that they have got the correct version of God.This actually aligns very well with the voilent verses in quran asking for killing the kafirs until the religions is only of Allah’s.Now it is also clear how the muslims will get right hand pocessors. first they go to any kingdom where they follow different religion and then they send a letter of invitation to them,if they say no then they have the right to attack them. once they wage a war,and the other party loses they will get their money,tresures and then get the women of that kingdom as war booty of which one fifth will go to prophet so good amount of women folk will go to the so called prophet,so innocent men will be killed,women and kids will be taken as captive,so now i see the divine religion how much divine.
3. When he manipulated her throne by magic then she get convinced that he has some power, and then she says ok,but for me i find no logic here,he is asking her to follow islam by showing magic,but not exactly explaining her what islam is? so at the end of the day i feel sheeba is more intelligent than suleiman the prophet.
4. Sheeba would have been prophet instead of suleiman for her sensible behaviour,she put the welfare of her people above everything at being a really assertive person not as an aggressive person.on the other hand suleiman kept the innocent people lives a low priority on the faith and was ready to attack them and been aggressive in his approach,howcome he is chosen by god as prophet,if there are no people then what is the need for faith,for whom?
Another intresting story is of Khizar and prophet musa,where prophet musa was supposed to be quiet and should not ask questions.Khizar kills a small boy and musa asks a question why he killed an innocent kid? then khizar replies that the boy is going to bring shame to the parents, i quiet not understood the logic here.how he has any right to kill an innocent. he may be a criminal in the future but at this moment he is innocent, killing of any inncoent creature is also wrong.This actually aligns very well with the honour killings that happen in muslim world.
one more thing quran has changed the concept of adoption in arabia, the adopted kid will not get the name of the adoptive parents instead he wil be called with the name of the kids original father’s name.and if they dont know the name of the father he will be called as brother.This is based on the factor that a man doesn’t ahve two hearts in his body,which means he can never treat the adopted kid as his own.however i quiet not understood how a person can treat a stepson/daughter as his kid based on the same logic.the same reasoning applies to how nursing based siblings will be mehram in quran
an everlasting book is not supposed to have wasted the space for the following.
Repetetions of the same sotries again and again(some times up to 10 times)
For Mohammad’s personal life issues(conflict with wives,or issue realted to marrying adopted son’s wife,how he is allowed more than what a common muslim can have) which is no way relevant to today or future.
For cursing his own creation repetatively becoz they corrupted his scriptures,they insulted his favourite person.
comparing his one creation with other creations like pigs and apes,donkeys in a derogatory manner.
Constantly reminding his creation how worst they can become and reminding them how worst god can become( ex: if you scam against me i will scam in bigger way against you)
religion of peace have less verses for peaceful stuff most verses for explaining rules related to war,slaves,war booty,showing frustration and anger.
graphically describing violence like cutting the finger tips of the disbeliever,smiting the necks,how they should not feel mercy on the disbelievers they should be more inclined to take them as prisoners of war rather than leaving them for ransom.
I have got to this conclusion not by reading quran to prove my point but inspite of my trying best to convince myself a lot i really couldn’t convince my self on the above.combining with the fact that i am not born and brought up in your religion so i by my nature have a different view of god to that of yours.if god will despise me just because he made me to born in the religion that he hates to have a different view of him, then i am in no way responsible for that, i use my reasoning to find out wether this religion,book,prophet are divine or not as claimed. and i found that the origins of this book are not divine but human that too a misleaded one.
At the end lot of people say it is not for us to understand Quran, if that is the case then they should also recognize that on the same note we wont be able to judge good from bad even without Quran.

Hi lerned readers,
My request is to read the following text in Islam and then see the difference between saying and realtieis
Pedophilia & Islam: Allowed by Allah; Practised & Patronized by Prophet Muhammad
Having sex with underage children is popular in sharia countries. Find out why?
ALLAH APPROVES OF IT
65.4 “If you divorce your (child) wife before she reaches menstruation age her idda is three months”.
According to this aya a muslim man can marry (and have sex with) even a one day old infant girl.
ISLAMIC AUTHORITIES PROMOTE IT
There is no argument on this point among Islamic authorities whether shia or sunni. They all agree that a muslim man can have sex with baby girl.
This is what Imam Khomeini, the top shia authority says:
“A muslim man can have sexual pleasure with a little girl as young as a baby. But he should not penetrate her vaginally, however he can sodomize her”. (Tehriro vasyleh, fourth edition, Qom, Iran, 1990)
Here is what the the top sunni authority says (video on a Saudi website) about having sex with a one day old baby girl. (Go to “site video” and click on sex with a one day old girl)
PROPHET LOVED LITTLE GIRLS
Prophet had special feelings for cute little baby girls.
Ibn Ishaq: Suhayli, 2.79: In the riwaya of Yunus Ibn Ishaq recorded that the apostle saw Ummu’l-Fadl hen she was baby crawling before him and said, ‘If she grows up and I am still alive I will marry her.’ ( p. 311)
Muhammad saw Um Habiba the daughter of Abbas while she was fatim (age of nursing) and he said, “If she grows up while I am still alive, I will marry her.” (Musnad Ahmad, Number 25636)
BABY AISHA
Our prophet fell in love with Baby Aisha when she was shown by Allah to him in his dreams when she still an infant.
Bukhari , Volume 7, Book 62, Number 15:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
Allah’s Apostle said (to me), “You have been shown to me twice in (my) dreams. A man was carrying you in a silken cloth(as an infant) and said to me, ‘This is your wife.’ I uncovered it; and behold, it was you. I said to myself, ‘If this dream is from Allah, He will cause it to come true.'”
COURTSHIP WITH AISHA
Whenever Prophet visited Abu Bakr house he made Aisha sit in his lap and played with her.
PROPOSAL FOR MARRIAGE
When Ayesha reached the age of 6 Prophet decided to ask for her hand.
Abu Bakr: Rasulullah you must be joking. She is hardly six years old. And you are in your fiftees.
Prophet: She is old enough for me.
Abu Bakr: Didn’t you marry off your own daughters when they were much older.?.
Prophet: That was before aya 65.4 was revealed. Now a muslim can marry even a day old infant girl.
Abu: “But Rasulullah you called me your brother , how can you marry your foster niece”.
Prophet:” But you are not my real brother you are only a “ brother in Islam”.”*
Muslim Book 62, Number 18:
Narrated ‘Ursa:
The Prophet asked Abu Bakr for ‘Aisha’s hand in marriage. Abu Bakr said “But I am your brother.” The Prophet said, “You are my brother in Allah’s religion and His Book, but she (Aisha) is lawful for me to marry.”
Abu: “But Rasulullah, last week you turned down Hamza’s daughter (who was ugly and in her teens) . You said you cannot marry your foster niece**.
Bukharihari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 37:
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
It was said to the Prophet, “Won’t you marry the daughter of Hamza?” He said, “She is my foster niece (brother’s daughter). ”
Prophet: “Allah had shown her to me in my dreams, that was Allah’s indication for me to marry her, I am helpless in this matter”.
ABU BAKR THROWS IN A MONKEY WRENCH
Abu was concerned about the welfare of her tiny tot sleeping with a horny and hefty old man who was given the libido of 30 men by Allah..
Abu: “I will let you marry her only on one condition, you will have to abstain from having sexual intercourse with the little one before she turns 9”.
Prophet was disappointed but he had no choice.
Prophet: “O.K. but I will not abstain from using other halal methods of pleasuring.”
AISHA MADE A BEAUTIFUL BRIDE
PROPHETIC PLEASURING
Thighing
Sahih Dawood Book 1, Number 0270:
Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu’minin:
One night prophet entered upon me and said: Uncover your thighs. I, therefore, uncovered both of my thighs. Then he put his cheek and chest on my thighs.
Fondling
Bukhari,Volume 1, Book 6, Number 299:
‘Aisha said: “Whenever Allah’s Apostle wanted to fondle me, he used to order me to put on an Izar and start fondling..
Daydreaming
Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 71, Number 660:
Narrated Aisha:
“Allah’s Apostle used to think that he had sexual intercourse while he actually had not”
The Bottom-line
Bukhari, Book 002, Number 0572:
Aisha said “ Whenever I found dried semen on the garments of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him), I scraped it off with my nails.
AISHA TURNS NINE
Allah was very happy for the prophet when finally Aisha turned nine.. He sent Gibraeel to congratulate him and to witness the consummation. Prophet introduced Allah’s envoy to Aisha .
Bukhari, Volume 5, Book 57, Number 112:
Allah’s Apostle said (to me), ‘O Aish (‘Aisha)! This is Gabriel greeting you.’ I said, ‘Peace and Allah’s Mercy and Blessings be on him, you see what I don’t see’ ” She was addressing Allah ‘s Apostle. (only prophets can see angels)
MENTION OF HOLY CONSUMMATION IN HADITHS
Sunan Abu Dawood Vol3 Bk36 N0 4917:
Then they brought me to the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) and he had sexual intercourse with me . I was nine years old.
Sunan Nasai Bk of Marriage, No 3256:
A’ishah said: The Apostle of Allah peace be upon him married me when I was six and had sexual intercourse with me when I was nine and I was playing with dolls.
ALLAH BLESSED THEM WITH INSPIRATIONS
Although Prophet slept with hundreds of slave girls captured women and concubines in addition to his large number of wedded wives, Allah only sent quranic revelations to prophet when he slept with Aisha.
Aisha said “Inspiration came to him when he and I were in a single blanket”. (Tabari Vl7, page: 7)
Bukhari Vol. 5 Bk57 N 119:
Prophet said, By Allah, the Divine Inspiration never came to me while I was under the blanket of any woman except Aisha.”
No God would ever allow the abuse of little girls. In order to be the word of God every word/teaching of the Koran must be PERFECTION. Verse 65.4 is evil. Therefore the Koran is not the word of God but the teaching of Allah (the ANTI GOD). For Islam to be a true religion, the Koran MUST BE THE WORD OF GOD. Since the Koran is imperfect and not the word of God – Islam is totally and completely bogus – a sham and a fraud.
Hi learned readers,
This blog posted by so called Hindu girl is absolutely false and misleading. I am of the firm opinion, 100% sure that this has been posted by a muslim terrorst person in fake name.
I have travelled world wide and found that hinduism is the old religion and very liberal to accept presence of God every where.
What is the islam, it is known world ever, for terrorist activities, killing, hatred, murder, rape, discrimination, luring innocents towards bomb blasts for getting pleasure of 72 virgins.
Is there is any religion, where oral tripple talak without consulting wife is given and next day another woman is brought. Mutta marriage and halala have been created for sexual purposes only.

Death Compensation
As already stated in· Fatwa 5414, Part No. 21, Page 245 If a Muslim kills a Jew or Christian dhimmi (one who pays the poll tax), he must pay only half the amount of “blood money” he would have to pay for killing a Muslim. Following is a listing of the required death compensation.
From the website of the Consulate General of India, Jeddah, who is recording these matters because they come up in connection with his people who are working in Saudi Arabia :
Mode of Pavment:
All Death Compensation cases (except industrial accidents) in Saudi Arabia are settled through concerned Sharia Courts in accordance with the Sharia Law.
Maximum Amount admissible :
The maximum amount of Death Compensation (Diyya) generally admissible in Saudi Arabia, in respect of road/traffic/fire accident, murder, etc. is as under: Death Compensation in respect of a male person:
i. Muslim – SR. 100,000/-
ii. Christian/Jew – SR.50,000/-
iii. Other religions : such as Hindu, Buddhist, Jain, etc. – SR 6666.66
In the case of death of a female, death compensation allowed is equal to half the amount as admissible to males professing the same religion. Further the amount of compensation admissible, is based on the percentage of responsibility fixed on the causer e.g. if the causer is held 50% responsible for the accident resulting in the death of a Muslim, the amount of Death Compensation admissible will be SR 50,000 only.
100,000 Saudi riyals = $26,665.25
50,000 Saudi riyals = $13,332.62
6,666.66 Saudi riyals = $1,777.69
SHARIA LAW IN DETAIL
ALL THESE AND PREVIOUS TEACHINGS MUST BE BANNED
Sharia commands that drinkers and gamblers should be whipped.
Sharia allows an injured plaintiff to exact legal revenge—physical eye for physical eye.
JIHAD
Jihad means to war against the non-Muslims (lesser jihad, based on 2:216, 4:89, 9:36 ) (o9.0; p.599).
Jihad is warfare to establish the religion of Islam (greater Jihad)…p.599
Basis for Jihad:
(1) fighting is prescribed (2:216).
(2) slay them wherever you find them (4:89).
(3) fight the idolatry utterly ( 9:36 ).
Jihad is a communal obligation (o9.1; p.600).
Jihad is obligatory for every Muslim who is able to perform it, male or female (o9.3, p.601).
Women and children are enslaved. They can either be sold, or the Muslims may ‘marry’ the women, since their marriages are automatically annulled upon their capture. Women and children captured in a jihad operation become the slaves of Muslims; the women’s previous marriage is immediately annulled (o9.13; p.604).
Jihadists can rape slave women. Ali, Muhammad’s cousin and son—in—law, did this.
Women and children must not be killed during war, unless this happens in a nighttime raid when visibility was low.
In a jihad operation Muslims can kill old men (40+) and monks (o9.10, p.603).
A captured enemy of war could be killed, enslaved, ransomed for money or an exchange, freely released, or beaten. One time Muhammad even tortured a citizen of the city of Khaybar in order to extract information about where the wealth of the city was hidden. Male captives’ fate is decided by the Caliph; this includes gratuitous killing of male captives (o9.14, p.604).
Enemy men who converted could keep their property and small children. This law is so excessive that it amounts to forced conversion. Only the strongest of the strong could resist this coercion and remain a non-Muslim.
Civilian property may be confiscated.
Civilian homes may be destroyed.
Civilian fruit trees may be destroyed.
Pagan Arabs had to convert or die. This does not allow for the freedom of religion or conscience.
Arab idolater must become Muslims or die (o9.9, p.603).
People of the Book (Jews and Christians) had three options (Sura 9:29): fight and die; convert and pay a forced ‘charity’ or zakat tax; or keep their Biblical faith and pay a jizya or poll tax. Caliph makes war upon the Jews, the Christians, .by first inviting them to enter Islam, if no success then pay jizya, if no jizya then kill them (o9.8, p.602).
Truces are permitted but not obligatory. When uppermost—no truce until some interest is served—‘so do not be fainthearted and call for peace when it is you who are the uppermost’ (the Qur’an 47:35).
If weak then make truce for 10 years.
If possibility of making Muslim–then establish 4 months truce.
Spoils are for free male Muslims (o10.0, p.606).
Dhimmis are: 1. the Jews 2. the Christians 3. Zoroastrians 4. Samarians and Sabians 5. Adherents of religion of Abraham (o11.1, p.607).
– Not included in Dhimmi: idol worshippers, no sacred book, Sikhs, Bahai, Mormons, Qadianis. Books revealed after Islam are not acceptable (o11.2, p.607).
– The Dhimmis’ public behaviour and dress must be Islamic (o11.3, p.607
– Minimum jizya is one dinar (4.235g of gold) per year; maximum jizya—no limit; no woman, children or insane is to pay jizya (o11.4, p.p.608)/
– Dhimmis must comply with Islamic rules except drunkenness, can’t greet them with as-salamu alaikum, must keep to the side of the street, no high building, no wine display, no church bell, no new churches, not stay in Hijaz for more than 3 days (o11.6, p.608).
Apostasy
Making sarcasm is leaving Islam (o8.0, p.595).
Kill the apostates of Islam (o8.1, o8.2, p.596).
No indemnity required for killing an apostate (o8.4, p.596).
No expiation is required for killing an apostate of Islam (o5.4, p.593
Marriage and Sex
The husband’s permission is required for a wife to work (Doi, p.117).
Beating a wife is allowedeven if the husbands merely fear highhandedness in their wives.
(Doi, p.130).
The wife must worship the husband. Unbridled freedom of modern women is not good (Doi, p.132).

The guardian of a woman must be a male. A woman cannot be married by herself. A widow can marry by herself (Doi, p.141).
Hanafi, Shafii and Maliki rate the marriage of a minor boy or a girl as lawful (Doi, p.142).
A Muslim man is allowed to have four wives at one time (Hedaya, p.31; Doi, p.147).
A law against polygamy is against the Qur’an. Not a single Hadith is against polygamy; modernists reject Qur’an and Sunnah. Satisfy more wives (Doi, p.152).
Prohibition on polygamy is a violation of Sharia provision. Court does not understand biological need. Follow Muhammad (59:7) (Doi, p.153).
Adoption is not allowed in Sharia (Doi, p.463).
Circumcision is obligatory for both men and women (foreskin for men, prepuce of clitoris for women) (e4.3, p.59).

A woman must not conduct her own marriage; she requires a male guardian (m3.4, p.518).

Arab women cannot marry non-Arab men (because Allah has chosen the Arabs above others) (m4.2(1), p.523).
A man of lowly profession cannot marry the daughter of higher profession (m4.2(3), p.524).
When the husband settles the dower (bride money) or defers it, a wife must immediately submit her private parts to her husband’s demand for sex, unless she has legitimate ground of not doing so; if she requests to wait the maximum waiting time is three days (m5.1, p.523).
A husband has the full right to enjoy his wife’s person, from the top of her head to the bottom of her feet (m5.4, p.526).

A Muslim man is allowed to beat his wife or wives (the Qur’an, 4:34 ; m10.12, p.541; o17.4, p.619).
If wife refuses sex, the husband is not obliged to support her until she surrenders her person to the husband (m11.9, p.545).
A divorced wife gets maintenance only for maximum three months (Hedaya, p.145, Shafii law, no support during her waiting period if pregnant, then support is on daily basis until she gives birth (m11.10 (3), p.546).
A son is obliged to finance his poor father’s marriage (m12.5, p.549).
Husband divorces wife instantly even under torture, compulsion, alcohol, narcotics and jokes; then he can marry a new set of four wives and continue the cycle (Hedaya, p.81, 253; n3.5, p.560).
The only way for a wife to get divorce is to convince the sharia court and also to pay money to her husband (Hedaya, p.112; n5.0, p.562; n7.7).
Beat a child (10+) for not praying and fasting (f1.2, p.109).
Not praying is unbelief; penalty is execution (f1.3, p.109).
Drinking alcoholic drink—strike 40 stripes…o16.2
Women’s testimony in Business transactions is half of men’s (the Qur’an 2:282, Hedaya, p.637; o24.7, p.637).

SLAVERY AND SHARIA
THE RIGHTS OF SLAVES UNDER ISLAM
According to the Hughes Dictionary of Islam, slaves had few civil or legal rights. For example:
a) Muslim men were allowed to have sex anytime with females slaves – Sura 4:3, 4:29, 33:49.
b) Slaves are as helpless before their masters as idols are before God – Sura 16:77
c) According to Islamic Tradition, people at the time of their capture were either to be killed, or enslaved. Shows you that they were at the bottom of the barrel to start with.
d) According to Islamic jurisprudence, slaves were merchandise. The sales of slaves was in accordance with the sale of animals.
e) Muhammad ordered that some slaves who were freed by their master be RE-ENSLAVED!
f) It is permissible under Islamic law to whip slaves.
g) According to Islam, a Muslim could not be put to death for murdering a slave. Ref. 2:178 and the Jalalayn confirm this.
h) According to Islam, the testimony of slaves is not admissible in court. Ibn Timiyya and Bukhari state this.
i) According to Islamic jurisprudence, slaves cannot choose their own marriage mate. – Ibn Hazm, vol. 6, part 9.
j) According to Islamic jurisprudence, slaves can be forced to marry who their masters want. – Malik ibn Anas, vol. 2, page 155.
Slavery continued in Islamic lands from about the beginning to this very day. Muslim rulers always found support in the Quran to call ‘jihad’, partly for booty, part for the purpose of taking slaves. As the Islamic empire disintegrated into smaller kingdoms, and each ruler was able to decide what Islam’s theology really meant. Usually, he always found it in support of what he wanted to do. Their calls of jihad against their neighbor facilitated the taking of slaves for Islam. The Quran and Islamic jurisprudence support the taking of slaves, so, those petty Muslim rulers were following the Quran when they needed slaves.
WHO CAN BE MADE SLAVES UNDER ISLAM?
1) Islam allows Muslims to make slaves out of anyone who is captured during war.
2) Islam allows for the children of slaves to be raised as slaves
3) Like #1, Islam allows for Christians and Jews to be made into slaves if they are captured in war. After Muslim armies attacked and conquered Spain, they took thousands of slaves back to Damascus. The key prize was 1000 virgins as slaves. They were forced to go all the way back to Damascus.
4) Christians and Jews, who had made a treaty with the ruling Muslims could be made into slaves if they did not pay the “protection” tax. This paying for ‘protection’ was just like paying a Mafia racketeer! This allowed Muslim rulers to extort money from non-Muslim people.
