Comparing violence in the Bible and the Qur'an.

Ok, enjoy your hypocrisy.

How so?

Mohamed made war, had people killed, committed genocide against the Jews of Yathrib and Khybar, and issued commands to fight that are being obeyed to this day.

Those are simple facts. How is it hypocritical to point that out?
 
Verse 8:41 lets Muslim fighters know that, "whatever ye take as spoils of war, lo! a fifth thereof is for Allah, and for the messenger".
Can someone who knows the bible tell us how much loot Jesus said his warriors could take once they were finished sacking whatever place it was they had just conquered?

Alex: "Who said, 'So if you gain mastery over them in war, punish them severely?'".
Contestant: "Who is Jesus?"
Alex: "Ooooo, I'm sorry. The correct answer is, 'Who is Mohamed?'".

In 8:65 Mohamed is told by god, "O Prophet! rouse the Believers to the fight". Now, I know that sounds EXACTLY like the sort of thing Jesus was always saying, but believe it or not, this time it was Mohamed/Allah.
 
Verse 3:143 sets Islam apart from the other Abrahamic religions as it tells Muslims that the Battle of Uhud gave them a first-hand look at the martyrdom they desire. To this point Muslims knew martyrdom was possible, but this is the first time the Qur'an said they should desire it. This is one of the Qur'an's building blocks of terrorism.

"You did indeed wish for death [martyrdom] before you met it. Now you have seen it openly with your own eyes".

By contrast, Christians and Jews may have accepted martyrdom as the ultimate consequence of maintaining their beliefs, but they were never expected to actively pursue it. The only death Jesus was willing to accept was his own.
 
Verse 3:145 is a reminder of fighting for God from stories of the OT lest Mohamed's fighters forget that their job is to carry on the tradition - "Many godly people fought to help the Prophets in the cause of God. They did not lose courage, show weakness, or give in when facing hardships in their fight for the cause of God".

And 3:146 reminds them that we are the enemy - "grant us victory over the unbelievers". That includes all you charter members of the don't-blame-Islam club.

3:152 has God complaining that His righteous slaughter (at Uhud) was interrupted when his fighters decided to start looting before securing victory - "And certainly Allah made good to you His promise when you slew them by His permission".

Verse 154 is a hoot. God tells those who are reluctant to fight that He has already chosen when they will die, so staying out of the battle will not save them.

All the above is exhortation for Muslims to fight, kill, and be killed.


Meanwhile, the table Jesus turned over is still lying of the floor. Oh, the humanity!!!
 
Verses 3:157 and 3:158 continue the theme of promising rewards for fighting - "And if you are slain in the way of Allah or you die, certainly forgiveness from Allah and mercy is better than what they amass. And whether you die or are killed, unto Allah you will be gathered".

3:167 is part of a series in which God yet again complains that the Hypocrites are reluctant to spill blood - "He might also know the hypocrites when it was said of them, 'Come now, fight in the way of God, or repel".

3:169 through 3:171 continue to hammer away on the theme that everlasting life in Paradise awaits those who fight. - "Think not of those who are slain in Allah's way as dead. They rejoice in a Grace and a Bounty from Allah".

The Qur'an frequently says to "do good", but what is "good" according to Allah? Verse 3:172 explains it very clearly. It refers to those who were wounded fighting "in the cause of God" at Uhud, and therefore defines such fighting as a "good deed", "after being wounded; for those of them who did good deeds and feared Allah, there is a great reward".


Can some quote the NT and give the class some warrior Jesus comparisons. Bueller? Bueller?
 
Verses such as 3:176 show that you can't just read the Qur'an without knowing what the hell was going on at the time, and therefore what any given verse is referring to. It reads, "And let not those grieve you who fall into unbelief hastily; surely they can do no harm to Allah at all; Allah intends that He should not give them any portion in the hereafter, and they shall have a grievous chastisement".

Okay, on the surface that just sounds like any of the hundreds of other verses telling unbelievers that they're to be BBQ'd for eternity. But, if you know that it's talking about those who failed to fight at Uhud, and that said failure is a form of disbelief, then you will realize that God is in effect telling them to either fight or to burn for the infidelity of staying peaceful.

I'm sure that Jesus was planning on forming an army of conquest as soon as he finished healing the lepers. Yeah, that's the ticket.
 
Surah 33 was written in the aftermath of the Battle of the Trench and the slaughter of the last Jewish tribe of Yathrib. Just the fact that Mohamed annihilated an entire tribe of Jews (he merely expelled the other two and confiscated their property) puts him in a category poles apart from anything the NT says about Jesus. Doing nothing other than comparing the actions of Mohamed and Jesus should tell you which is the more peaceful religion.

This surah continues to promote fighting and martyrdom:

33:16 - "Flight will not avail you if ye flee from death or killing".

33:18 through 33:20 contain more complaining about the Hypocrite's unwillingness to fight - "Allah knows indeed those among you who hinder others and those who say to their brethren: Come to us; and they come not to the fight but a little ... their eyes rolling like one swooning because of death ... they would not fight except for a little".

33:23 - Mohsin Khan translation with his usual tafsir-like clarifications in braces explaining that fighting and martyrdom are an obligation - "Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah [i.e. they have gone out for Jihad (holy fighting), and showed not their backs to the disbelievers], of them some have fulfilled their obligations (i.e. have been martyred), and some of them are still waiting ...".


The don't-blame-Islam club is lagging behind. Where are the verses showing Jesus spurring his followers on to the fight?
 
God is still recapping the Battle of the Trench as surah 33 continues:

In 33:25 God again assures Muslim fighters that he was on their side - "God sent back those that were unbelievers in their rage, and they attained no good. God spared the believers of fighting".

Verse 33:26 is a biggy. It refers to the Jewish Banu Quraiza tribe, which was the only left of the original three who made the fatal mistake of welcoming Mohamed and giving him refuge. He had the men and youths beheaded and took their women and children as slaves. This verse refers to said slaughter and clearly places it at the foot of Mohamed. He is the "you" in "some you killed".

"He drove down those of the followers of the Book who backed them [helped the pagans - even though there is no indication that they actually did help] from their fortresses and He cast awe into their hearts; some you killed and you took captive another part".

Meanwhile, Jesus probably spent so much time healing the lame that he couldn't quite get around to forming that army he had in mind. That must have pissed him off.
 
The Qur'an frequently issues the command to fight based on specific circumstances, but then follows up by saying that such fighting is to be taken as an example for Muslims to follow. Verses 33:60 through 33:62 are a perfect example as shown by the last underlined phrase:

"If the hypocrites [bedouin Arabs who profess to be Muslim, but refuse to fight], those whose hearts are sick [pagan Meccans] and those who encourage the spread of evil in the city [citizens of Medina who refuse to accept Islam], will not desist, We shall arouse you [Mohamed] against them. Accursed, wherever found, they shall be seized and killed with a (terrible) slaughter. This was the tradition of God with those who lived before. There will never be any change in the tradition of God".

Seriously, this example alone puts paid to the lie that Christianity is as bad as Islam in encouraging that violence be perpetrated in an on-going manner against unbelievers.
 
Verse 4:71 is another to encourage fighting - "Believers, always be well prepared and on your guard. March [to battle] in small groups or all together".

Oh look, 4:74 is one more - "Those who want to buy the life hereafter with this life should fight for the cause of God. We will give them a great reward whether they are killed or whether they are victorious".

I find verse 4:75 hilarious, not because it advocates more fighting (it alludes to the impending attack on Mecca) - there's nothing funny about that - but for Mohamed's self-serving pretense that "God" claims the people of Mecca are begging him to come and free them from those nasty pagans, and for him to lead them. And then there's his on-going campaign to try to get the ever-reluctant Hypocrites to fight. I wish I had kept count of how many verses are dedicated to him cajoling them. - "And what is wrong with you [Hypocrites] that you fight not in the Cause of Allah, and for those weak, ill treated and oppressed among men, women, and children, whose cry is: "Our Lord! Rescue us from this town [Mecca] whose people are oppressors [the pagans]; and raise for us from You one [Gee, would that be Mohamed by any chance?] who will protect us, and raise for us from You one [Yup, Mohamed] who will help".
 
Verse 4:76 is more rallying of the troops to attack Mecca, but stated in general terms for future reference - "Those who believe fight in the way of Allah, and those who disbelieve fight in the way of Satan. Fight therefore against the friends of Satan". Verse 39:27 explains the instructional value of such verses - "And certainly We have set forth to men in this Qur'an similitudes of every sort that they may mind". This is part story; part lesson.

4:77 carries on with more encouragement for Muslims to fight whether they want to or not - "when the fighting was ordained for them ... they say: "Our Lord! Why have you ordained for us fighting?".

4:84 is plain and simple - "Then fight in Allah's cause ... and rouse the believers".

4:89 seals the fate of those (in this case the Hypocrites) who fail to fight - "if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them".

4:91 speaks of Meccans who dare to resist - "seize them and slay them".

4:92 is what passes for "Thou shalt not kill" in Islam - "Never should a believer kill a believer". Apparently we unbelievers are fair game.

4:94 is more instruction regarding warfare - "O you who have believed, when you go forth [to fight] in the cause of Allah ...".


Fight, kill, fight, kill - and the beat goes on.
 
4:95 has a message, and it uses a sledge hammer to deliver it. It states three times that those who fight have a higher rank with Allah than those who sit at home. Three friggin' times in one verse - "[1] Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) ... to those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah - [2] Allah hath granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight ... to those who sit (at home) - [3] Those who strive and fight Hath He distinguished above those who sit (at home)",

You have to know the code to understand that verse 4:100 is another that encourages fighting. In Qur'an-speak, "forsake your home in the cause of Allah" means to venture out to participate in jihad. - "He who forsakes his home in the cause of Allah ... Should he die as a refugee from home for Allah and His Messenger, His reward becomes due and sure with Allah". In other words, fight, die, go to Heaven.

In case there is any doubt, 4:101 clarifies the sides in Mohamad's holy war - "Indeed, the disbelievers are ever to you a clear enemy". Then 4:102 continues to stoke the fires of hate - "The unbelievers wish that you should be heedless of your weapons [when you pray], then they would wheel on you all at once". And 4:104 adds - "Relent not in pursuit of the enemy".

The Us against Them message is pounded home hundreds of times. And Jesus? He forgave those who executed him (Again, this is according to Christian belief, not mine).
 
47:4 - "So when you meet those who disbelieve [in battle], strike their necks until, when you have inflicted slaughter upon them ... God could have taken vengeance upon them, but [He ordered armed struggle] to test some of you ... those who are killed in the cause of Allah - never will He waste their deeds".

47:20 through 47:23 have yet another go at those who are reluctant to see blood spilled - especially their own. - "when a precise surah is revealed and fighting is mentioned therein, you see those in whose hearts is hypocrisy looking at you with a look of one overcome by death... when the matter (preparation for Jihad) is resolved, then if they had been true to Allah, it would have been better for them ... God has condemned these people and made them deaf, dumb, and blind".

47:31 is another reminder that jihad is a requirement - "We will surely test you until We make evident those who strive [wage jihad]".

Is a Muslim army required to show mercy when they have the upper hand? Not bloody likely according to 47:35 - "So do not weaken and call for peace while you are superior".


The call to arms is relentless. Sounds just like Jesus, doesn't it?
 
The following are more reminders of a Muslim's duty to fight and die for Allah, and the reward that awaits them for doing so. Lest there be any confusion about the meaning of "jihad", surah 61 uses it interchangeably with "qatl", which means "fight/kill". :

22:58 - "Those who emigrated for the cause of Allah and then were killed or died - Allah will surely provide for them a good provision".

49:15 - "The believers ... strive with their properties and their lives in the cause of Allah".

66:9 - "O Prophet! Strive hard against the Unbelievers and the Hypocrites, and be firm against them".

61:4 - "Truly Allah loves those who fight in His Cause in battle array, as if they were a solid cemented structure".

The following set of verses spell out the deal Allah makes with Muslims - To get to heaven you must fight:

61:10 - 61:13 - "O ye who believe! Shall I lead you to a bargain that will save you from a grievous Penalty? You shall believe in Allah and His Messenger, and struggle hard in Allah's way with your property and your lives. He will forgive you your sins, and admit you to Gardens. and other things you love, help from God and a nigh victory".
 
48:16 - "Say to the Bedouins [the Hypocrites] who were left behind: 'You shall be called against a people possessed of great might' to fight them".

48:19, 48:20 - "And much booty that they will capture ... Allah has promised that you will receive much booty". Allah encourages conquering and pillaging.

48:29 - "Muhammad is the messenger of Allah; and those who are with him are strong against Unbelievers, (but) compassionate amongst each other".

5:32 - "The only reward of those who make war upon Allah and His messenger and strive after corruption in the land will be that they will be killed or crucified".

5:35 - "O ye who believe! Be mindful of your duty to Allah, and seek the way of approach unto Him, and strive in His way in order that ye may succeed".

In 5:54 Allah threatens the Hypocrites (for the umpteenth time) to either obey him or be replaced by others who will honor their commitment to fight - "O you who believe! whoever from among you turns back from his religion, then Allah will bring a people, He shall love them and they shall love Him, lowly before the believers, mighty against the unbelievers, they shall strive hard in Allah's way".
 
Surah 9 completes the Qur'an (except for a three-verse wrap up). By this time, Islam has virtual control of the Arabian Peninsula and is looking outward for new lands to conquer. The Byzantines are first up. Mohamed gathered a force and marched 330 miles north through the desert to engage them in battle at Tabuk (in self-defense of course). No Byzantines showed up, so he went home.

Despite the absence of actual hostilities, of importance to the overall message of Islam to be taken from this surah is the repeated calls to fight. In terms of historical context, the fact that it is yet again the reluctant Bedouins (the Hypocrites) to whom these verses are directed is not as important as the universality of the message. And of course that message is "fight in the cause of God''.

God must have been in a hurry, because he got right into it:

Verses 9:38 and 9:39 start the tirade with a reminder that fighting is required for admission to Heaven - "O ye who believe! what is the matter with you, that, when ye are asked to go forth in the cause of Allah, ye cling heavily to the earth? Do ye prefer the life of this world to the Hereafter? But little is the comfort of this life, as compared with the Hereafter. If you do not go forth, He will punish you".

We know that God is haranguing 6th century Bedouins, but when taken at face value, this could apply to any Muslim at any time. And if it's not meant as such, then what's the point of including it in the Qur'an?
 
9:41 again shows that God is not reluctant to repeat himself - "Go forth, light-armed and heavy-armed, and strive with your wealth and your lives in the way of Allah".

9:44 is much more than just another command to fight because of how it is translated into English by three of the seven most trusted Islamic scholars. It says, "(Muhammad Sarwar translation): Those who believe in God and the Day of Judgment do not ask you whether they should fight for the cause of God with their property and in person, or not". The Arabic word translated as "fight" is "jihad" (struggle/strive) rather than "qatl" (fight/kill), yet Yusuf Ali, Mohsin Khan, and Sarwar obviously felt the context of warfare was so clear that they translated it as "fight".

9:45 reiterates that only unbelievers refuse to fight - "It is only those who believe not in Allah and the Last Day and whose hearts are in doubt that ask your leave (to be exempted from Jihad") [clarification in brackets added by Mohsin Khan].
 
9:52 continues berating the Hypocrites for refusing to fight and threatens them with violence - "Say [to the Hypocrites]: Can you expect for us (any fate) other than one of two glorious things- (Martyrdom or victory)? But we can expect for you either that Allah will send his punishment from Himself, or by our hands. So wait (expectant); we too will wait with you". The Hypocrites had a choice - they could fight against the Muslims or with the Muslims. What could not choose was to simply live in peace.

9:73 - "O Prophet, fight against the disbelievers and the hypocrites and be harsh upon them".

The following verses are directed at the Hypocrites of Mohamed's time, but the message that refusing to fight for God is timeless:

9:81 - "they hated to strive and fight with their properties and their lives in the Cause of Allah''.
9:83 - "You shall never go out with me nor fight with me against a foe. You were content with sitting still the first time. So sit still, with the useless".
9:86 - "And whenever a chapter is revealed, saying: Believe in Allah and strive hard along with His Messenger, they ask permission of you and say: Leave us (behind), that we may be with those who sit".
9:87 - "They preferred to be with those who remained behind, and a seal is set on their hearts so they do not understand".
9:88 - "But the messenger and those who believe with him strive with their wealth and their lives".
9:90 - "And the Bedouins came with their excuses, asking for leave [from fighting]".
9:93 - "The blameworthy ones are those who ask for exemption despite their ability and who preferred to stay at home with those who are truly exempt".
9:94 - "They will present their excuses to you".
 
Verses 9:95 through 9:98 not only heap more abuse on the Hypocrites, but drive home the fact that their refusal to fight makes them "impure, wrongdoing, stubborn in disbelief, and resentful of spending in the cause of God".

Verse 9:105 - "Work; and God will surely see your work" (and others like it that I have not bothered to cite) are more subtle. If read alone, "work" does not obviously refer to fighting. It takes context to see that jihad is the job at hand.

Verse 9:111 illustrates the final direction in which Islam was taken in its two-decades of evolution - "Surely Allah has bought of the believers their persons and their property for this, that they shall have the garden; they fight in Allah's way, so they slay and are slain; a promise which is binding on Him in the Taurat and the Injeel and the Quran; and who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah? Rejoice therefore in the pledge which you have made; and that is the mighty achievement". Not only must Muslims fight and die to get into Heaven, they are required to do so with a smile.

The tafsir (scholarly interpretation) by 14th century exegete, Ibn Kathir, of verse 9:123 - "O you who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are close to you" - states that, "Allah commands the believers to fight the disbelievers, the closest in area to the Islamic state, then the farthest. This is why the Messenger of Allah started fighting the idolaters in the Arabian Peninsula. When he finished with them and Allah gave him control over Makkah, Al-Madinah, At-Ta'if, Yemen, Yamamah, Hajr, Khaybar, Hadramawt and other Arab provinces, and the various Arab tribes entered Islam in large crowds, he then started fighting the People of the Scriptures. He began preparations to fight the Romans who were the closest in area to the Arabian Peninsula, and as such, had the most right to be called to Islam, especially since they were from the People of the Scriptures".

The first 37 verses of surah 9, which were created after the non-battle of Tabuk, are believed by most to be the last chronologically.

Regarding the pagans of Mecca, the Qur'an says in verse 5, "And when the sacred months have passed [treaties have expired], then kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush".

Verse 9:13, while encouraging more carnage, tells the outright lie that the pagans attacked the Muslims first, "Will you not fight a people who have violated their oaths (pagans of Makkah) and intended to expel the Messenger, while they did attack you first".

For that invented transgression 9:14 (again) says, "Fight them, and Allah will punish them by your hands".

Verses 9:16 reminds Muslims that they will be judged based on their willingness to spill blood, "Do you think that you will be left (as you are) while Allah has not yet made evident those among you who strive (for His cause)".

Verses 9:19, 20, and 24 speak again of jihad "one who believes in Allah and the Last Day and strives in the cause of Allah ... ones who have believed, emigrated and striven in the cause of Allah ... striving in His way".

Those on this forum who claim Christianity encourages as much violence as Islam does are WAY behind.
 
Verses 9:25 and 9:26 reassure Muslim fighters that Allah is always with them - "Assuredly Allah did help you in many battle-fields ... He sent down soldiers angels whom you did not see and punished those who disbelieved". Those would be the "five thousand swooping angels" promised in verse 3:125.

Verse 9:29 is in my opinion the most significant in terms of defining Islam's relations with the rest of the world - "Fight against those who have been given the Scripture as believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, and forbid not that which Allah hath forbidden by His messenger, and follow not the Religion of Truth, until they pay the tribute readily, being brought low".

This series of verses was created at the time that Mohamed had his sights set on attacking the Byzantine Empire, with the expedition to Tabuk being an attempt at joining the battle. Verse 9:29 served as the template for the standard "Invitation to Islam" that was issued to rulers of soon-to-be-conquered lands as the Islamic Empire spread. He had sent such a Messenger to the Byzantine ruler, Heraclius, demanding he either adopt Islam or face war. Heraclius refused, and the war was on. This was pure aggression.

Verse 9:30 confirmed Allah's intent towards those who don't worship "The Merciful" in the correct way - "The Christians say the Messiah is the son of Allah ... May Allah destroy them".

Verse 9:36 ignores the fact that no disbelievers fought the Muslims until they were attacked first - "Fight against the disbelievers collectively as they fight against you collectively". The key to understanding the justification behind such commands lies with many verses in which "fitnah" (oppression) and "fasad" (corruption) serve as substitute rationalizations for fighting disbelievers.
 
I'll leave the final word to someone else. In his tafsir of surah 9, Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi (https://www.englishtafsir.com/Quran/9/index.html), summarizes "the problems that were confronting the [Islamic] Community at that time" thus:

- to make the whole of Arabia a perfect Dar-ul-Islam [abode of Islam],
- to extend the influence of Islam to the adjoining countries,
- to crush the mischief of the hypocrites, and
- to prepare the Muslims for Jihad against the non-Muslim world.

In order to enable the Muslims to extend the influence of Islam outside Arabia, they were enjoined to crush with sword the non- Muslim powers and to force them to accept the sovereignty of the Islamic State. As the great Roman and Iranian Empires were the biggest hindrances in the way, a conflict with them was inevitable. The object of Jihad was not to coerce them to accept Islam they were free to accept or not to accept it-but to prevent them from thrusting forcibly their deviations [non-Islamic religions] upon others and the coming generations. The Muslims were enjoined to tolerate their misguidance only to the extent that they might have the freedom to remain misguided, if they chose to be so, provided that they paid Jizyah (9:29) as a sign of their subjugation to the Islamic State.

In order to prepare the Muslims for Jihad against the whole non-Muslim world, it was necessary to cure them even of that slight weakness of faith from which they were still suffering. For there could be no greater internal danger to the Islamic Community than the weakness of faith, especially where it was going to engage itself single-handed in a conflict with the whole non-Muslim world. That is why those people who had lagged behind in the Campaign to Tabuk or had shown the least negligence were severely taken to task, and were considered hypocrites if they had no plausible excuse for not fulfilling that obligation. Moreover, a clear declaration was made that in future the sole criterion of a Muslim's faith shall be the exertions he makes for the uplift of the Word of Allah and the role he plays in the conflict between Islam and kufr. Therefore, if anyone will show any hesitation in sacrificing his life, money, time and energies, his faith shall not be regarded as genuine.
