A. "Muhammed's foster mother, Halima, stated her conviction that 'in answer to a direct question from his mother I admitted that I thought that he was possesses by a devil'". Islam by Alfred Guillaume, page 25, The Facts on Islam Dr. John Ankerberg, page 10.
B. "Islam was founded by Muhammad, a demon-possessed pedophile who had 12 wives - and his last one was a 9-year-old girl. And I will tell you Allah is not Jehovah either. Jehovah's not going to turn you into a terrorist that'll try to bomb people and take the lives of thousands and thousands of people."
Rev. Dr. Jerry Vines, Pastor of First Baptist Church of Jacksonville, Florida
C. "The people of Mecca spoke openly and tauntingly of it (the koran) as a collection of antiquated or fabulous legends, or as palapable sorcery."The Facts on Islam Dr. John Ankerberg, page 11, Rodwell, Koran, page 8 cf. Sura 36, 25, 17.
D. "It seems, however, that Muhammed himself was at first doughtful of the source of these revelations, fearing that he was possessed by one of the Jinn, or spirits..." Sir Norman Anderson, Religions, page 55. The Facts on Islam Dr. John Ankerberg, page 11
E. "Oxford educated Alfred Guillaume was a professor of Arabic at both Princton and the University of London, where he was head of the Department of the Near and Middle East in the School of Oriental and African Studies. He states 'Men with a mysterious esoteric knowledge which was generally attributed to a familar spirit called a jinn or shaytan.'" Islam by Alfred Guillaume, page 28, The Facts on Islam Dr. John Ankerberg, page 11.
F. Who were Muhammad's first supposed converts? Genies! Yes, Muhammad supposedly preached to and converted genies in Suras 46:29-35; 72:1-28. How convenient that there was no one around to confirm his prophethood.
2. Muhammed decided to make up his own religion and started with a pagan moon god named allah. That is why you see the cresent moon in Islam.
*"But perhaps Muslims have forgotten that it was "Allah" who was originally the pagan god. Scolars agree that before Muhammed, "Allah" was one of the pagan dieties of the pre-Islamic Arabic pantheon of gods-and not even the central diety." The Facts on Islam
* ``The name of Allah, as the Quran itself is witness, was well known in pre-Islamic Arabia. Indeed, both it and its feminine form 'Allat', are found not infrequently among the theophorous names in inscriptions from North Africa.'' (Arthur Jeffery, Islam: Muhammed and his religion, p 85).
* ``'Allah' is a proper name, applicable only to their [Arabs] peculiar god. (Hastings, Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics, I.326).
* ``'Allah' is a pre-Islamic name...corresponding to the Babylonian Bel.'' (Paul Meagher,Thomas O' Brein, in ERE, I.117).
* ``The Arabs, before the time of Muhammed accepted and worshipped, after a fashion, a supreme god called 'Allah'. (Encyclopaedia of Islam, I.302).
* "The name of 'Allah' is also evident in archeological and literary remains of pre-Islamic Arabia". (Kenneth Cragg, The Call of the Minaret, p. 31).
* 'Allah' was known to the pre-Islamic Arabs and it was one of the Meccan deities. (H. Gibb, Encyclopedia of Islam, I.46).
* "The name of Allah goes back before Muhammed." (Anthony Mercatante, The Facts on Index, Encyclopedia of World Mythology and Legend, I.41)
* "There is no reason, therefore, to accept that Allah passed to the Muslims from the Jews and Christians." (Caesar Farah, Islam : Beliefs and Observations, p. 28).
* According to Middle East scholar E.M. Wherry, in pre-Islamic times, Allah-worship, as well as the worship of Baal, were both astral religions in that they involved the worship of the stars, the sun and the moon. (A Comprehensive Commentary on the Quran, p. 36).
* In Arabia, the sun god was viewed as a female goddess and the moon as the male god. One of the moon god's name was called Allah. (Alfred Guilluame, Islam, p. 7.)
* Allah, the moon god was married to the sun goddess. Together they produce the three goddess (the daughters of Allah), Al-Lat, Al-Uzza and Manat. All of these 'gods' were viewed as being the top of the pantheon of Arab deities. (Encyclopedia of World Mythology and Legend, I.61).
3. Muhammed started to write a book about his supposed visions. However, Muhammed could not read or write. He trusted others to write the material for him.
"The recording of the prophet's words in the beginning were haphazard. Verses were written on palm leaves, stones, the shoulder-blades of animals-in short, on any material that was available".
"Mohammed did not write the Koran or see it completed before his death. Abu Bakr asked people who memorized it to write down their memories about it. There were seven readings of the Koran until the year 30. He collected the other Koran's and burned them, keeping his version."

4. *The Quran is a messed up fraud.
While the Bible accurately records actual people, places and events, the Quran is a jumbled up mess. Some comments:
"It is a toilsome reading as I ever undertook, a wearisome, confused jumble, crude, incondite." Thomas Carlyle, Scottish Scholar [2]
"From the literary point of view, the Koran has little merit. Declamation, repetition, puerility, a lack of logic and coherence strike the unprepared reader at every turn. It is humiliating to the human intellect to think that this mediocre literature has been the subject of innumerable commentaries, and that millions of men are still wasting time absorbing it."
Salomon Reinach, German Scholar [3] "an incoherent rhapsody of fable, and precept, and declamation, which sometimes crawls in the dust, and sometimes is lost in the clouds."
Edward Gibbon, Historian [4] "The matter of the Koran is exceedingly incoherent and sententious, the book evidently being without any logical order of thought either as a whole or in its parts. This agrees with the desultory and incidental manner in which it is said to have been delivered."
McClintock and Strong's Encyclopedia [5] "Unfortunately the Qor'an was badly edited and its contents are very obtusely arranged. All students of the Qor'an wonder why the editors did not use the natural and logical method of ordering by date of revelation..."
Ali Dashti, Muslim Scholar [6] "disjointed and irregular character"

5. Muhammed was a wife beater.
"Men are superior to women on account of the qualities with which God hath gifted the one above the other, and on account of the outlay they make from their substance for them. Virtuous women are obedient, careful, during the husband's absence, because God hath of them been careful. But chide those for whose refractoriness you have cause to fear; remove them into beds apart, and scourge them: but if they are obedient to you, then seek not occasion against them: verily, God is High, Great!"
CHAPTER 709 - ON BEATING WOMEN
#2141 - Iyas Dhubab reported the apostle of Allah as saying:
"Do not beat Allah's handmaidens", but when Umar came to the apostle of Allah and said: "Women have become emboldened towards their husbands", he (the prophet), gave permission to beat them. Then many women came round the family of the apostle of Allah complaining against their husbands. So the apostle of Allah said, "Many women have gone round Muhammad's family complaining against their husbands. They are not the best among you".
2142 - Umar reported the prophet as saying: "A man will not be asked as to why he beat his wife".
In the Islamic publication, "Women in Islam", published by the Islamic Publications in Lahore Pakistan it also states the reasons and justification for Islamic wife beating, page 35:
"The family life should be harmonious. If anything goes wrong and there is any misunderstanding four steps are to be taken to deal with such a situation: 1) verbal advice and admonitions, 2) then the family relation is to be suspended, 3) after that slight physical correction (beating slightly) may be administered and the fourth is a family council to settle the differences if there is any."
On page 36, the book further elaborates: "If she still resists, then he is to administer a slight physical correction. He is to scourge her. When he flogs her, he should remember that he is beating his own wife. He should not beat her when he is angry; whatever the cause of his anger could be. The flogging must never leave any marks on her. It should be slight and not very painful."
In the Islamic publication "You Ask and Islam Answers", page 94, Abdul Mushtahiri says, "If admonishing and sexual desertion fail to bring forth results and the woman is of a cold and stubborn type, the Quran bestows on man the right to straighten her out by way of punishment and beating provided he does not break her bones nor shed blood. Many a wife belongs to this querulous type and requires this sort of punishment to bring her to her senses."
Muhammad wrote in the Sura 4:3 that it is unlawful to have more than four wives, but he had more than four. Muslim scholar Ali Dashti lists 22 women in Muhammad's life, including 16 wives. He also stole his adopted son's wife Zaynab and made her his own. One wife, Aesha, was only eight or nine years old when he took her to bed.
*The Hadith: The majority of people in hell are women (vol. 1, nos. 28, 301; vol. 2, no. 161)
6. Muhammad stole his son's wife.
Muhammad wanted his son's wife and when his son didn't want to give her up, Muhammad had a "convenient revelation" from heaven which said a father can take his adopted son's wife. Read Sura 33:36-38:
...When Zaid had accomplished what he would of her, then we gave her in marriage to you, so that there should not be any fault in the believers, touching the wives of their adopted sons, when they have accomplished what they would of them; and Allah's commandment must be performed. There is no fault in the prophet, touch what Allah had ordained for him.
This passage has led many Muslims to renounce Islam. Source:Muhammad, the Quran, & the Hadith Used by permission.
7. Differences between Muhammad and Jesus.
The coming of Muhammad was not foretold. Muhammad came on the scene claiming that he converted genies that ain't nobody seen. And now a whole host of people worship this man and his fake god that is no god. Muhammad did many treacherous things including robbing and plundering for his own wealth. He also commanded his followers to kill all that would not submit to Muhammad's made-up religion.
Today in Africa and around the world, Muslims are killing anyone who will not submit to Islam.
Of late, Muslims are trying to say that Muhammad was sinless, but Muhammad admitted that he is a sinner.
"Muhammad replied..."O Allah, set me apart from my sins..."
Hadith vol. 1, no. 711
In Sura 18:10, Allah tells Muhammad:
Say, I am but a man like yourselves. Jesus on the otherhand was CLEARLY prophesied about hundreds, THOUSANDS of years before His coming. Jesus is the express image of God and His sacrifice stands in demonstration of the love of God. Islam has nothing to point to that reveals the love of God. In fact the Quran says that there is no intercessor or saviour. You've got to save yourself. See Sura 6:51, 70; 10:3.
Jesus rose from the dead, Muhammad did not. Jesus was the Son of God, Muhammad was not. Jesus did many miracles, Muhammad did not. Jesus was seen by over 500 people when He went up to heaven, Muhammad was put in a grave. Jesus quoted scriptures written thousands of years before His coming while Muhammad made up his own scriptures and claimed that he preached to genies as his proof of being a prophet. Muhammad even contradicted himself when he quoted his various fairy tales. Muhammad sinned against many people. Jesus sinned against no one. Not ONE of Jesus' enemies could ever truthfully say anything bad about Him. People that Muhammad tortured could certainly talk bad about him.
Muhammad is obviously inferior to Jesus, and as a result, Muslim theologians have borrowed events from the life of Jesus and attributed them to their "prophet".
