Meccan Versus Medinan Verses Are Not Really ContradictorySundayA person named Tallulah left the following comment on the article, A Conversation About Islam:
It *is* helpful to read the Koran in its chronological order, because then you can see what came earlier in Mecca and what came later in Medina.
It's true that the Meccan verses don't advocate violence against the unbelievers and leave vengeance against them up to Allah, unlike in Medina where Mohammad begins the era of jihad. But the Meccan Koran is mostly aimed at how damned people are who don't believe Mohammad's claims and who refuse to follow him. As a reasonable person who has studied logical fallacies, it's so easy to see that the assertions that Mohammad puts forward as "clear proofs" are nothing of the kind. He uses circular reasoning, self referential assertions and threats of punishment in hell as his "clear proofs". But rational thinkers can easily see through these.
Many times while reading the Medina verses my husband and I (who read it together and would stop to discuss it) would laugh or raise an objection, and moments later, Allah would answer the kaffir who had done the same to Mohammad. So the damned of Mohammad's time saw the same flaws and laughed at the same things that we do today.
According to the Koran, Allah does not love the unbeliever. It's not bad people, rights violators, that he's talking about. It doesn't matter if you're a decent sort. What matters is that you don't believe what Mohammad, with all his inadequate "clear proofs" asserts to you, that you don't take him on faith while dropping the common sense you were born with. That's what gets you into hell.
And here's what gets me most about the Meccan verses: Allah says that those who make it to Paradise will be able to look down into hell where the unbelievers are being tortured in horrific ways and mock the poor sods as their skin is peeled off of them over and over and they're forced to drink scalding liquid.
That's entertainment.
I don't think I'd like to be in Paradise with people who would find that to be a desirable pastime. Those are mean-spirited brutes, and so is any god who would hate people and punish people for not being able to buy Mohammad's assertions of prophethood. It's a real stomach-turner for a reasonable and just soul to read that stuff.
You can only call the Meccan Koran "tolerant" in the sense that at that point in the Koran the Muslims are not supposed to punish people for Allah's sake. But it is nevertheless full of condemnation and hatred for those who do not believe Mohammad's claims.
It's easy to see how *that* attitude towards unbelievers could eventually turn into outright violence against those stubborn people who keep making fun of Mohammad's unsubstantiated claims.
As far as abrogation goes, I know of the doctrine but I don't think it's necessary because if you see the verses in the context of the Sira of Mohammad's life story it's clear that in Mecca Mohammad didn't have enough followers to enforce his religion by violence. He only had about 150 of them by the time he left there. But in Medina he gained many more followers and became *capable* of using the sword to gain more enforcement power. And that's the lesson there: when force doesn't have a good chance of winning, lie low, play nice, try dawa without physical threats. But when you have the means to succeed at war, you *must* then enforce Allah's laws on whomever you can, bring them under Islam's rule.
It doesn't seem contradictory at all when put into full context. It's only when it's all jumbled up, out of chronological order, and without Mohammad's life story to make sense of it, that it seems contradictory.
The following was written by Lt Col (ret) Roy White, USAF, Chapter Leader of ACT for America San Antonio.
America is more Islamic than my home country of Morocco. My Muslim friend said this with great joy and assurance, while I was trying not to appear stunned. How could someone who grew up in an Islamic country for the first 25 years of his life, move and live in America for the next 25 years, prosper with his business and family, come to the conclusion that America is more Islamic than a Muslim country?
Hayat sat in the shade and described his younger years of being raised in the Islamic culture. Like many Muslim youth, his family attended the local mosque because that was what good Muslims do. However, like many Muslims and many Christians, his faith was only a thin veneer of going through the motions.
As his fellow Muslims were flowing into the nearby mosque, he quietly answered the questions I posed without any sense of contempt toward me and was genuinely interested in trying to correct misperceptions I might have about Islam.
He shared his story of coming to America 25 years earlier, meeting his wife (Muslim) and starting his business that slowly grew into a successful trading business that took him back to his home country on a regular basis. A family man with several children, he talked about his re-conversion back to Islam as he prospered economically. In his mind, the only explanation for this was Allah choosing to bless him and therefore as his wealth grew, so did his faith in Islam and Allah.
When I visit Morocco, all I see is corruption, poverty, violence and suffering among the peoplethat is not Islam. As we sit here in the shade, we sit in peace, we are comfortable, there is no poverty to speak of and Allah has blessed me with great economic gainthat is how Islam is to be, peaceful, prosperous and enjoyable. And there you have itIslam in a nutshellsubmit and you will prosper.
As I felt my head exploding, I refrained from pointing out to him much of Americas culture would not be allowed in a truly Islamic country, i.e. equal rights for women and LGBT, freedom to choose something other than Allah, freedom to speak, or a thousand other things Sharia forbids. My follow up question brought an even more surprising answer, So you think in 30-50 years the US will replace democracy with Sharia law?
He quickly but politely discarded my suggestion with a wave of his hand and said, no, no, too political which was quickly followed up with this chilling statement, but, in 300 years, yes, Sharia will be law of the land in the US. He said this with the certainty of someone who knows the sun will rise in the east tomorrow.
This unique glimpse into the mind of an American Muslim revealed two fundamental problems that Americans face when discussing Islam with Muslims and non-Muslims. Americans think in terms of hours, days or months but rarely attempt to imagine our culture or country with the yardstick of a century, much less 300 years. To a Muslim, Islam has been around for 1400 years. A country that has been around for 250 years will be just another country that is absorbed into the Islamic tsunami that began 1400 years ago and continues today. After all, just 100 years after Muhammads death, the map of Islamic conquered lands stretched from Afghanistan to Spain.
The second issue is: We assume refugees and/or immigrants from the Middle East living here will find our freedoms and democracy preferable to any other ideology. The fact that 51% of Muslims living in the U.S. responded positively in a recent poll to this statement, Muslims in America should have the choice of being governed according to Sharia should dispel the myth that among Muslims a large majority prefer democracy over Sharia law. Add to this a Pew Research poll that showed 60% of Muslim-Americans under 30 are more loyal to Islam than America. Where do the majority of jihadists come from? This very demographic group.
Hayats neighbors point to him as the peaceful Muslim who is the poster child for all Muslims and shuts down any questioning of Islam as a violent ideology by invoking, but my neighbor Hayat is no terrorist into the conversation. In reality Hayat is more dangerous than a jihadist suicide bomber. Hayat knows the truth behind Islam and is comfortable with it. His non-Muslim friends are clueless.
There was little doubt in my mind that Hayat would not be strapping a suicide vest on his chest as we departed. As for his children or grandchildren becoming jihadists, Im not so sure. Hayat and I departed on good terms, he returned to his car, and I assume he drove home and enjoyed an evening with his family telling them about the interesting infidel he met that afternoon.
Hayat sleeps well as a believer in the inevitability of Islam while his non-Muslim neighbors and friends walk around in ignorance and bliss. Time is on Islams side and there will be plenty of other jihadists willing to strike terror in the hearts of non-believers and force them into submission. Hayat knows the truth about Islam, but more Americans are learning the truth too. Will they have the courage to share it without fear of being labeled a hater or Islamophobic? Our childrens and grandchildrens future will be determined by our courage to speak the truth about Islam.

How To Read The Koran (and understand Islam)
Here's an excerpt:
Winston Churchill, in the first volume of his History of World War II, The Gathering Storm, wrote that when Adolph Hitler came to power, Hitlers treatise on politics and philosophy, Mein Kampf, was of such importance that there was no book that deserved more careful study from the rulers, political and military, of the Allied Powers. All was there the programme of German resurrection the concept of the National-Socialist State, the rightful position of Germany at the summit of the world. Here was the new Koran of faith and war: turgid, verbose, shapeless but pregnant with its message.
Churchill described Mien Kampf as the NEW Koran of faith and war. If he were around today, Churchill would tell us that there is no book more deserving of our study than the OLD Koran: turgid, verbose and shapeless but pregnant with its message.
Churchill recognized the threat of Islam at an early age. As a young officer in the British military, he fought against Muslim armies in both Pakistan and the Sudan. The latter experience led him to write The River War, published in 1899, in which he made this remarkable observation, in somewhat overwrought prose:
How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.
That was in written in 1899. The only thing not true today is that Europe is no longer sheltered in the strong arms of science. Muslims in Pakistan have developed nuclear weapons and Muslims in Iran will soon follow suit. Muslim oil money buys fighter jets and AK-47s by the boatload and sponsors terrorists by the thousands, many of whom are being welcomed into Europe as immigrants.
Churchill had it figured out over a hundred years ago, yet the three most recent Prime Ministers of Britain have defended Islam, calling it a religion of peace. Ditto Presidents George W. Bush and Barrack Obama.
Even Pope Francis has joined the chorus. A Papal decree in 2013 said, Faced with disconcerting episodes of violent fundamentalism, our respect for the true followers of Islam should lead us to avoid hateful generalizations, for authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence.
Disconcerting acts of violent fundamentalism is another way of saying, Im confused by acts of terror committed by Muslims in the name of their religion. Saying that a proper reading of the Koran reveals Islam to be opposed to every form of violence is akin to saying a proper reading of the Heavens shows the Sun revolves around the Earth, something believed by previous Popes, much to Galileos distress.
Popes, along with Prime Ministers and Presidents, are NOT infallible.
Muslims commit acts of violence against non-Muslims every day, and yet many Western leaders refuse to connect these acts of violence to the religion of Islam, even though the perpetrators often do, sometimes shouting Allahu Akbar Allah is Greater while killing people.
Churchill identified Islam as a deadly threat to Western civilization because he studied his enemies. I have no doubt he was familiar with Sun Tzus The Art of War, in which a maxim is to know your enemy. When fighting Hitler, Churchill read Mein Kampf. When fighting Muslims, he read the Koran.
It is time we do so, too. I want to stress at the outset, reading the Koran is NOT difficult if you know HOW to read it, but that takes a little explaining.
Read the whole thing here: How To Read The Koran (and understand Islam).
One of the examples de Becker uses is a woman who was carrying groceries up the stairs to her apartment when a friendly man offered to help her. She had an immediate twinge of fear (what de Becker calls a "survival signal") and she said, "No thank you." But he insisted and when she hesitated because she didn't want to hurt his feelings, he added a little "typecasting" to set the hook. Typecasting is one method manipulators use to influence people. It's a slight insult designed to cause the victim to prove that the insult doesn't apply to her, and in so doing, she makes herself more vulnerable. Read more about it here.
So she overrode her survival signal and accepted his help. She was raped in her apartment, and if it weren't for the fact that she listened to her second twinge of fear, she would have been murdered that night.
There are orthodox Muslims who are using the same manipulative techniques with non-Muslim countries: Appealing to their kindness and typecasting them by implying that if they prevent Muslim immigration, they're racist Islamophobes. Their goal is to get more Muslims into our non-Muslim countries. And as they gain a greater percentage of the population within our countries, they push for more and more concessions getting the host culture to yield to Islamic standards one small increment at a time. This is what Raymond Ibrahim calls Islam's rule of numbers.
As their numbers grow, their political power grows. Then politicians can no longer ignore this voting block and the push for concessions grows more insistent and demanding. The country is gradually converted to Islamic law.
Almost every non-Muslim country is on this track, yet still in a position to save itself, and some people within each country more all the time are listening to our survival signals.
Our twinges of intuition are correct: Islam swallows up cultures. In the end, nothing is left but Islam. That's just what it does. Our twinge is a gift. A warning. Here's the message, clarified into English: "Don't let them in."

The link below is a video shot on September 11th from an apartment window facing the Twin Towers. The couple who shot it lived on the 36th floor so they had an overview of the whole event. They didn't release the video to the public until 2005. It's long, but it's an intimate reliving of that day, with sounds of the couples' reaction to events, and the sound of the television news going in the background. The video is entitled simply: What We Saw
Watching the video brought the day back vividly. From my perspective today, 9/11 was a day of awakening for me. Until then, I had no interest in Islam. I didn't think it was important. I didn't understand what caused the terrorist attacks that had happened throughout my childhood (in the 1972 Olympics, the hostage crisis, the hijackings, etc.) and if you had asked me to guess at the time, I probably would have thought terrorists were simply fanatics creating random acts of violence for random reasons to force a government to release prisoners, to get airtime for their cause, to scare people, or whatever.
But 9/11 was so much worse than previous acts of terrorism, and so much closer to home, it woke me up. The attack on the WTC was obviously a well-organized project by a fairly large group of people, using effective long-term planning, all for the purpose of inflicting a huge number of casualties. And my question was, for what?
It was so shocking, I was strongly motivated to understand where it came from, who these people were, and why they were doing this. What I've learned since then has often surprised me. I had no idea Islamists were such a large group, or so well-funded, or had such an all-compassing goal. But along with discovering the scope of the problem, I've also discovered that ordinary citizens like me could do something to help defeat it.
I feel I've personally repeated what Americans collectively went through in WWII. When the war in Europe and Japan started, most Americans didn't want to get involved. They wanted to go about their business and they hoped the problem would just go away. But when Pearl Harbor was bombed, everything changed. They realized how significant the problem was, and they fully understood their more trivial concerns would have to be put aside. The same change of mind has happened to many of us in the West in response to 9/11 and the change of mind has only deepened with subsequent events.
Since that day I have learned a great deal about Islam, and have been encouraging others to do so too. An understanding of the terrifying brilliance of Islam hasn't become as widespread as I had hoped, but more people are becoming aware of Islam's prime directive, and that is encouraging. I hope you watch the film, What We Saw, share it with your friends, and renew your commitment to finding a solution to the causes that led to 9/11 and the over thirty-nine thousand terrorist attacks since then.

Take the PledgeSome people say Islam is a religion of peace and that Islam has been hijacked by extremists, terrorists, and stealth jihadists who twist and distort the peaceful teachings of the Quran and quote it out of context.
Others say that political, supremacist, and even violent teachings are fundamental to Islam, and that people who say otherwise either havent read the Quran or are protecting Islam with religious deception (taqiyya).
The general confusion about the nature of Islam makes us collectively unable to make informed decisions. You can help end this confusion by reading the Quran. Stop believing what other people say and find out for yourself.
