The Mind of Muhammad
For insight into the workings of Muhammads mind, consider Chapter 33 of his Koran, entitled The Confederates. This is one of the chapters Muhammad composed in Yathrib (later called Medina) where he fled after his Meccan compatriots determined they needed to kill him to preserve their way of life.
The chapter is like a wild theme park ride that races in and out of numerous topics. In the 73 verses that make up the chapter, Muhammad covers the following, using the God-voice he adopted for the Koran: He recaps a recent battle with the Meccans and excoriates people who were afraid to fight and die for him; he gloats about his extermination of the men and boys of one of the Jewish tribes of Yathrib, the confiscation of their property, and the enslavement of their women and children; he authorizes himself to take as many wives as he likes, permits himself to marry the wife of his adopted son, forbids himself from taking any more wives after he has taken as many as he likes, but allows himself sex slaves.
As the verses of this revelation continue, Muhammad imposes full body and face cover for women when outside the home, threatens people with humiliating punishment in the afterlife for annoying him, threatens to murder his critics, prohibits the practice of adoption, and dishes up images of sadistic torture in Hell awaiting people who dont believe in him. He also praises himself as a lamp spreading light, and holds his behavior as a beautiful pattern for people to follow if they want to score well with Allah.
Among the verses is a celestial advisory that he must be obeyed:
It is not fitting for a Believer, man or woman, when a matter has been decided by Allah and His Messenger to have any option about their decision: if any one disobeys Allah and His Messenger, he is indeed on a clearly wrong Path. (Koran 33:36) [All of the Koran quotes in this article are taken from the Yusuf Ali translation.]
Despite their tediousness, it is worth exploring some of these verses because, in addition to providing evidence of his strange mentality, they also show that his Koran was like a blog in which he commented on the happenings of the moment. The happenings of the moment recorded in Chapter 33 had to do with war, sex, and Muhammads betrayal of his adopted son.
In the war part of these verses, Muhammad covers the Meccan assault on Yathrib that came to be known as the Battle of the Trench, so named because of a three-mile defensive trench he dug around vulnerable parts of the valley to fend off the attackers. By the time of this battle, he had been waging war on the Meccans for almost five years. The two major battles of Badr and Uhud had already been fought. [1]
The Battle of the Trench was the third major fight, which took place in A.D. 627. The Meccans attacked with an army of 12,000 warriors, drawn from numerous tribes who were itching for payback for all the harm Muhammad had caused them. But they were unable to get beyond the trench and finally gave up after a fierce windstorm leveled their encampments.
Verses 9 to 25 recap the action, but most are Muhammads diatribe against cowardly or fake believers who he was certain would have betrayed him had been given the opportunity. But he declares that Allah did not provide them with the opportunity because he sent the windstorm that disheartened the invaders and sent them packing. The battle was a test of faith of the believers who held firm, and Allah knows how to reward those who hold firm in their faith.
And rewarded they were: After the invaders left, Muhammad attacked the only remaining Jewish tribe of Yathrib and ended up distributing their wealth to the faithful. When he arrived in the valley, half of its 20,000 population was Jewish, divided among three major tribes. By the time of the Battle of the Trench, Muhammad had forced out two of the Jewish tribes. Hoping to escape the same fate, the remaining tribe at first insisted on not taking sides during the Meccan attack, then agreed to aid the invaders, but then backed out of it. Muhammad used this as an excuse to behead all of the men and boys.
About this massacre, Muhammad has Allah say:
And those of the People of the Book (the Jews) who aided them (the invaders) - Allah did take them down from their strongholds and cast terror into their hearts. (So that) some ye slew, and some ye made prisoners. And He made you heirs of their lands, their houses, and their goods, and of a land which ye had not frequented (before). And Allah has power over all things. (Verses 26-27)

The fundamental problem with Islam is the belief that God talked to Muhammad and dictated the contents of the Koran to him. Muslims are indoctrinated into believing this is so, and they act on the numerous incitements to violence that they find in it.

So this was sort of the twitter of that era ?
It would seem so.
So tell me - do you think it's possible to build a seaworthy boat of those proportions in that day and age? Because even modern day ship builders claim that it is impossible.
Do you think it's strange that the justification for the flood in your comment is based on melting ice, when the story clearly asserts that it was a rain event? What would be the point of that modification?
Do you think that calling god a loving creator can possibly comport with it causing the most massive murder event that could possibly occur? You can't even call it genocide, because it was non-discriminatory in what it murdered.
I've got dozens more, but it's your turn to address the question.
And your big flaw is being willfully ignorant. It shows when you refuse to respond to rational observations.
Gentlemen, please remember no personal insults. D
And yet Hal continues to live in and enjoy the benefits of the US instead of the hellhole that is the middle-east .
Hal ,
"what does that have to do with anything?"
It has to do with the ghastly reality about the way life is lived TODAY , not in the 8th century . Today Muslims in the middle east [& increasingly in Europe] believe fervently in the 8th century version of the Koran . For the bible ... not much of that going on .
Actually the most rational thing about Islam is the way it deals with the issue of women's lib . Stone the bitches if they get out of line .
Why do ya think libs are so fond of Islam ? They haven't got a clue about how to curb the expansion of female power ...
Female power is a lot like Islamic power . They don't have a real basis for power , just being anti-white male . Eventually they split into squabbling splinter groups .
