BURNING QUR’AN
(Please watch video at end of presentation, highlighting non-Muslims hypocrisy in dealing with Muslims).
Burning and desecrating/defacing the Qur’an is amusing. And ignorance.
Muslims demonstrating against this burning of the Qur’an and leaders exhorting governments to curb Qur’an burning is pathetic. This exposes the inability of these Muslims to extol the magnificence of Islam.
Islam does not seek to silence voices; Islam, the religion of reason argument and examples, seeks to enhance mentality: “Call to the way of thy Lord with wisdom and goodly exhortation, and argue with them in the best manner”-(Qur’an 16:125).
Rather than burn a copy of the Qur’an we invite “Qur’an-burners” to incinerate a million copies –make a mountain of your protest. We will sell you the million Qur’ans at the reasonable discounted price of only $20 U.S. per copy. After we have deposited your $20 million US into our account –laughing all the way to and from Credit Suisse– we have just two challenges for you:
- To which revealed Scripture are you comparing the Qur’an.
- Prove a religion superior to, or equal with, Islam, we will follow whatever you follow. But as you cannot prove –and no one can prove– you will follow Islam.
HERE ARE SOME OF THE TEACHINGS OF THE QUR’AN THAT THE QUR’AN-BURNERS HATE OR ARE IGNORANT OF (when checking Qur’anic references please check a few verses before or after the ones noted, as numbering among translators may vary):
–the fulfilling of covenants, keeping of oaths and not to be deceptive (16:91-92); to speak justly (6:153); to be righteous (2:277-278; 6:152-154); to not let hatred for a people incite you to transgress (5:2); to render back trusts to whom they are due, and to judge justly (4:58); because Allah God loves those who judge in equity (5:45-47)
–not to deal unjustly with men (2:279, 5:8); and not to rob them of their dues (26:183); to give justice even if it be against one’s self or parents or kins or whether he be poor or rich (4:135), encourages the feeding of the needy and the poor, to free the captives, to help those in debt, to care for the orphans, the wayfarer, and to free the slaves (9:60, 2:177), not to act corruptly in the earth or to make mischief (26:183); not to be transgressors (2:190), not to help one another in sin and aggression (5:2), to restrain our anger and forgive others (3:133), to fight on behalf of the oppressed (4:75); because Allah God loves those who are just, and because He commands justice and the doing of good, and He forbids injustice (60:8, 16:90)

–to fight on behalf of the oppressed (4:75); and for religious freedom, for all (8:39; 22:40).
