OR,
ISLAM's astounding ability, to stretch the credulity of muslims.Example #1,
[IN]CREDIBLE SOURCES CONFIRM ISLAM IS CORRECT, INERRANTRintrah said,
Quote:"....[a muslim suggesting Muhammad] did not exist...[a muslim] who claims his religion is a lie and yet still calls himself Muslim? Completely illogical and fallacious.....
How would there be Byzantine sources from the time describing emissaries sent to [Muhammad]."
http://www.ozpolitic.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1226898410/1#1Rintrah,
Should we accept the credibility of Byzantine sources [of information]??
Below is an example where ISLAMIC scholars have claimed that Byzantine and Roman sources, are unreliable.
.....when those accounts contradict ISLAM 'knowledge' of a matter.
News items,
Chief Muslim claims Jewish Temples never existedMarch 15, 2007
"....The Jewish Temples never existed.......descriptions of the Jewish Temples in the Hebrew Tanach, in the Talmud and in
Byzantine and Roman writings from the Temple periods were forged, and that the Torah was falsified to claim Biblical patriarchs and matriarchs were Jewish when indeed they were prophets for Islam."

Example #2,
MUSLIMS HOLD UP MUHAMMAD AS A PARAGON OF VIRTUEDespite the fact of a massive 'disconnect' between the social morality, and the conduct which ISLAM / Sharia allows [halal], and what almost all other civilised society in the world will allow,
....
muslims insist that ISLAMIC morality is inerrant, paramount, and above reproach.
This is argued to the point of threatening to kill non-muslims who decide to 'reproach' [scrutinise] ISLAM.
....[e.g. muslims were 'upset' when Pope gave a history lesson in 2006, and, ppl were 'lawfully' murdered!]
Recorded behaviour of Muhammad,
and endorsed as an example for muslims to follow.....
Have sex with a 9-year-old girl?
Advocate beheading?
Require women to cover their faces?
Own slaves?
Marry his daughter-in-law?
Approve of prostitution?
Gluttonize?
Recommend wife-beating?
Hit his own wife?
Kill prisoners of war?
Advocate suicide attacks?
Kill apostates?
Beat children who don't pray?
Have boys as young as 13-years-old beheaded?
Approve of Sex with Minors?
Lie?
Enslave women and children?
Torture a man out of greed?
Steal?
Kill someone for insulting him?
Extort money from other religions?
Keep women as sex slaves?
Force conversions to Islam?
Commit acts of terror?
Kill a woman?
Capture a woman and rape her?
Encourage the rape of women in front of their husbands?

And of course, there is an inerrant 'ISLAMIC source', which confirms ISLAMIC morality as inerrant....

"Ye have indeed in the Messenger of Allah [Muhammad] a beautiful pattern (of conduct) for any one whose hope is in Allah and the Final Day, and who engages much in the Praise of Allah. "http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/033.qmt.html#033.021"Ye [muslims] are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind, enjoining what is right, forbidding what is wrong, and believing in Allah. If only the People of the Book had faith, it were best for them: among them are some who have faith, but most of them are perverted transgressors."http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/003.qmt.html#003.110++++++
Example #3,
THE WORDS OF THE KORAN, ARE THE INERRANT WORDS OF ALLAH
.....BECAUSE ONE MAN DECLARED IT SO.The founders of ISLAM have cynically 'used' and 'exploited' the [cultural credibility]
of the pre-existing Christian and Judaic theologies, to de facto validate ISLAM.
....and ISLAM continues to do this today.
[e.g. ISLAM claims, Abraham, Hagar, Ishmael, Moses, King David, Jesus,
...were all muslims.]
'Pure' ISLAM then goes on, to claim to be,
....not a 'continuation', of these pre-existing theologies,
....but a total repudiation, and replacement, of them.
Indeed, devout muslims class all Christians and Jews as 'unbelievers' worthy of death, because of their rejection of ISLAM.
ISLAM is a false 'religion'.
.....[in my opinion].
ISLAM is built entirely an edifice of falsehood and lies.
.....[in my opinion].
To believe in ISLAM, you are compelled stretch your credulity to breaking point.
Because ISLAM, in its entirety, is based upon the utterances of one man, Muhammad.
You are asked to accept as true, the utterances of ONE single man, who was a self professed warlord, a murderer, a pirate, a brigand, a deceiver, a thief.

Great quote, from tallowood...
"If [a] message is valid it does not need validation by attaching it to a prophet or anything else. The Truth shines in its own light...."http://www.ozpolitic.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1226898410/10#10Excellent logic tallowood.
