http://www.faithfreedom.org/Articles/sina40928.htm The Miracles of Allah
By Ali Sina <http://www.faithfreedom.org/Author/Sina.htm>
Islam is a religion bereft of commonsense that is utterly against reason.
Logically challenged Muslims try to confirm their faith with fancies and
puerile beliefs. Only a cursory look at what they regard as miracles reveals
the deplorable intellectual bankruptcy of the benighted followers of
Muhammad.
The entire Quran is full of errors - scientific errors, grammatical errors,
historic errors and logical errors. Anyone, with a grain of intelligence is
surprised at the stupidity of this book.
But the poor Muslims have to convince themselves that Islam is indeed the
religion of God and Allah is God. For that they have to fool themselves.
They desperately try to manufacture miracles and find "signs" of Allah in
the most bizarre things and genuinely they fall for it. In the absence of
logic they content themselves with magic and childish tricks. The miracle
indeed is not the Quran but the fact that 1.2 billion people read this
nonsense and do not realize that it is a hoax

In these Islamic sites you can find loads of ridiculous miracles attributed
to Allah. In the following pages I'll scrutinize some of them

Trees saying Shahadah
Islamic sites exhibit this picture with the following notes:
"The branches of the trees lining a path distributed in the shape of
declaration of the Islamic creed in the Arabic language that affirms the
Oneness of Allah(swt) and the Prophethood of Muhammad(saaw)."
It reads:
'La ilaha Illahau Muhammad-ur-Rasulullah' *There is no deity but Allah(swt)
and Muhammad(saaw) is the Messenger of Allah(swt).*
This is said to be a scene on a piece of cultivated farmland in Germany.
Many Germans have been said to have embraced Islam upon seeing this
miraculous sight and that the German government put steel fences around that
part of the farm to prevent people from visiting and witnessing this
miraculous site."
However none of these sites give you the address of this place and there is
no other picture taken from this place from another angle. Because this is
an *oil based painting *on canvas. Pay attention to the top right corner;
you can even see the wrinkles of the canvas. It is not stretched properly.
But this is not the whole picture.
The whole picture is this one. Here on the left there is another row of
trees that read Muhammad Rasul Allah. (Muhammad is the messenger of God)
This sentence in Arabic is much more elaborate and makes the reader suspect
of the forgery. May be that is why most Islamic sites just content
themselves with the right side of the picture.
Isn't it foolish to assume that this is how God wants to send messages to
people, (especially in Germany where people cannot read Arabic and the
authorities bar it so people cannot see it?) Muslims are so violent about
trivial things that would kill 200 people if a reporter says Muhammad would
have married one of the contestants attending Nigeria beauty pageant. Would
they really remain silent if German authorities try to bar them from seeing
this "miracle"? What is the address of this place? If this were a deliberate
message from God one could wonder of the sanity of this God who plays these
kind of childish games. But it does not matter to the foolhardy believer. He
WANTS to believe and WANTS to see miracles. Anything will do even a painting
like this that is evidently a prank.
Muslims claim that the mark on the cow reads Allah and the one on the calf
reads Muhammad. Of course it takes the imagination of a Muslim to see these
words. However there is a good news for Hindus too. Because as you can see
the Hindu symbol of Om appears on this cow:
It is also reported that this cow does not make the sound Muu, like other
cows do. It sounds Omuu! Isn't this omazing? Can the Muslim cow say
Muu-ham-mad?
I wonder when Manitu, Ishtar, Baal, Zeus and other gods are going to send
messages. Please if you find messages from any god take a picture and send
it to me.
This crab could be a miracle too. Here is the confession of the person who
caught this crab:
"On one of my sea-fishing trips I took some pictures of the creatures I
found in my nets. Just the other day I viewed the pictures again and
suddenly I realized that the sacred Egyptian *Ankh* symbol was clearly
displayed (twice) on the back of this crab! Actually if you pay close
attention you can see a human face is clearly marked on the back of this
crab. I wonder if that is the face of the deity!
The *Ankh* symbol is one of the most powerful cultural and religious symbols
of Pharaonic Egypt. The Egyptian word *ankh* means "life, to live". The
symbol allegedly combines two forces, namely the cross being the male
element and the oval being the feminine element (early Egyptian knowledge).
These two symbols, the cross and oval, were said to be the two generative
principles of heaven and earth and the Egyptian deities of *Osiris* and *
Isis*, but it seems they have definitely something to do with sea-life as
well.
The *Ankh* symbol:
... really makes one wonder...
*Praying Tree*
The praying tree in Sydney is so ridiculous that it takes the cake. The
Islamic sites write:
"Tree Resembling Man in Prayer. This is a recently discovered phenomenon in
a forest near Sidney. As you can see, the bottom half of the tree trunk is
bowed in such a way that it resembles a person in a posture of Islamic
prayer - the 'ruku'. Looking closer you can see the 'hands' resting on the
knees.
The most amazing thing is that the 'man' is directly facing the Kaaba,
Mecca, which is the direction Muslims all over the world face when in
prayer."
Trees do not have heads and arms to stand in prayer as these naive Muslims
claim. Trees bend in different shapes. Using my imagination I can see
another tree looking like a man with a very tall neck (the head is not shown
in the picture) standing in front of the "praying" tree or walking towards
the camera. It seems that the first tree is bowing in front of him or may be
praying to him. But I may be wrong, perhaps this tree just happened to be
walking towards the photographer while the other one was praying. Muslims
scholars have different opinions about this picture. Some opine that the
tree is watching the Australian ants walking under its feet, others say that
the tree is bowing out of respect of the other tree but the majority and the
most credible scholars of Al Azhar affirm that the tree is praying. My
personal view is that they are all wrong and the tree is simply bending
under the pressure of the huge hump that has grown on its back. Ouch! That
must be excruciating! However, I guess we shall never know the truth unless
we go to Australia and ask the tree.
P.S. After the above picture was released many Muslims were attracted to go
to Australia and take a close look at this pious tree. Unfortunately what a
friend of mine found shocked him. This is the picture that he took. He was
dismayed to see that a dog and a pig had gathered around the tree thus
annulling its prayer. Now the tree has to perform Qosl and vodoo before it
can continue with its salat, but because it cannot walk, the poor thing has
to wait until the next rain.
Upon investigation my friend found that the dog and the pig pilgrims had
gone to Australia to ask the tree to plead Allah on their behalf to remove
them from the list of najis (filthy) creatures.
A few Muslims have written to say this picture is fake. I wonder why! Just
because the pig and the dog are sharper than the background does not mean
the picture is fake. It is just another miracle. You have to see this
through the eyes of a believer. If you start doubting everything then the
whole universe falls apart
*Allah Here, Allah There. Allah is Everywhere *
In this cloud patch Muslims using their creative imagination read the word
Allah in Arabic. I actually see a boy sitting in a toboggan looking to the
sky while a very funny looking small creature is pushing him from behind.
Please use your imagination and see what else you can see in this picture.
Try to think like children, as Muslims do, and you will be surprised what
you can find there.
When I was a child I used to lie down on the grass in lazy hot summer days
and find familiar shapes of humans and animals in different poses in the
clouds. It just shows that the imaginative brain of the foolhardy believers
of Islam is still in the stage of childhood.
Here are what Christians think is the apparition of Marry in clouds.
You can find more Christian "miracles" in this
site<http://www.visionsofjesuschrist.com/miraculous_images.htm>
.
------------------------------
This honey comb is the the Muslim favorite! They think bees can write in
Arabic and have decided to profess their belief in Allah by jointly writing
Allah on their hive.
------------------------------
They also see the word Abdullah and Muhammad Rasoul Allah written on the
side of this fish. I can't read neither Muhammad nor Rasoul Allah on this
fish. But of course I am not a Muslim and do not have a wild imagination as
they do.
------------------------------
Muslims are so imaginative that they can see the Words of Shahadah in this
slice of tomato. See if you can read La Illaha Illa Alla and Muhammad Rasul
Allah in these slices. I have not been able to see it. Can you help?
And yet the *THE MIRROR* on Thursday, June 12, 1997, reported: "More than
100 Moslems have flocked to her [the girl who made this "discovery"] home
to see the amazing tomato in her fridge.
In March last year another family from the town found 'Praise Allah' written
inside an aubergine (egg plant).
And a rock from Ben Nevis which has been engraved with 'Allah' by the wind
and rain is kept in a mosque in Burnley, Lancs.
------------------------------
These things are not miracles. They are simply flukes. Different patterns
form in different objects in the nature. Arabic letters, unlike Latin
characters, are very simple and with a little bit of imagination one can
find them naturally occurring everywhere.
*s Allah a terrorist** **too?*
In this picture of the Earthquake in Turkey, this mosque along with a few
more buildings are unaffected while most of the buildings around it are
destroyed. The Islamic sites write:
"It is indeed a miracle from Allah(swt), a miracle of this century. A camera
lens captures a miracle from Allah(swt), if we were to realize it we would
flee unto Allah(swt) and repent to him. Look how the town was totally
destroyed and most of the buildings were leveled with the surface of the
earth, especially around the mosque, except for the mosque which was not
harmed at all, and a building across the street from the mosque, the side
facing the mosque is totally unharmed yet the rest of the sides of the
building were damaged, because had it collapsed it would have fallen on the
masjid's extension. If one were to guess, before the earthquake, what in
that town would be damaged it would of course be the masjid's Minaret. It's
tall thin weak based structure is an indication that any earth movement will
force it to collapse but no! Everything was destroyed but that! SUBHAN
ALLAH!"
This is a picture of another site destroyed by Earthquake and the one below
is one in Indonesia that was spared by tsunami
First of all we should realize that those buildings in the above picture
that are completely erased were knocked down deliberately by excavators and
bulldozers because obviously they suffered some severe damages in the
earthquake, representing a peril to the people. The reason the buildings
surrounding these mosques were destroyed is because of the shady
construction and has nothing to do with God. Important public buildings like
mosques and churches usually are contracted to the best Architects and
Engineers, they are built better and they last longer than ordinary
buildings that are built by unscrupulous profit seeking contractors who cut
the corners and are there for the quick buck, especially in third world
countries where there is no authority to inspect the building codes in the
moments of construction or overlook the deficiencies if paid little bribe.
In other natural disasters churches and mosques are also damaged.
Earthquakes demolish only buildings that are not built properly and make no
distinction whether these buildings are holy places or brothels.
The houses that surrounded these mosques belonged to Muslims. Why Allah
destroyed them?
If this was intentionally done by a god, do you really want to worship such
a god that destroys the houses of so many innocent people and kills them so
ruthlessly while saving a mosque? Is really this Allah a psychopath? Is
Allah also a terrorist? Seems that in their desperate attempt to find
miracles and attribute them to Allah, Muslims incriminate him more than
proving his greatness.
*The Miracle of Cactuses *
These branches are supposed to resemble the word Allah. However this Muslim
had to cut a branch from somewhere else to create the loop of "H" at the end
of Allah.
Imam Ghazali's authority in Islam is indisputable. He says:
" *When it is possible to achieve such an aim by lying but not by telling
the truth, it is permissible to lie if attaining the goal is permissible *"*
**(Ref: Ahmad Ibn Naqib al-Misri, The Reliance of the Traveller, translated
by Nuh Ha Mim Keller , Amana publications, 1997, section r8.2, page 745). *
Of course what goal better than creating miracles for Allah!
Now the above picture is obviously a forgery. But the one below is not.
Is there a meaning to this "miracle" that Muslims might know?
*Human Bronchus Makes Shahadah *
This drawing is supposedly the human air tubes and it reads the Islamic
Shahadah. The drawings at below are the real shape of the human bronchus.
Do you see any Shahadah there? This is just a ridiculous attempt of a Muslim
to create yet another miracle for his Allah. Have a look at the pictures of
the human air tubes in any book of anatomy and see if you can find anything
resembling the drawing forged by Muslims. This just demonstrates the
desperation of the Muslims to make their completely nonsense religion
believable. But who would believe in that drawing to represent the real
human air tubes except a total illiterate that has not seen a picture of
human anatomy in his life? Unfortunately illiterates constitute the majority
of the Muslims.
*Moon Testifying to Ali *
Muslims claim "It is possible to see the name *Ali* (as) in Arabic on the
surface of the moon." and they have also a certificate to confirm it.
This is the only miracle that is true. However the moon is testifying to me,
"Ali Sina", because I am the one who is shattering these foolish thoughts
and trying to help Muslims think rationally. It is time that Muslims see
this miracle, stop fooling themselves and start paying attention to reason.
As a matter of fact, if they could see the other side of the moon, which is
never seen from the Earth they can find also the word "Sina" in Arabic.
Isn't this a miracle?
Muslims claim that the Cat's eye nebula was foretold in the Quran (55:37-38)
"And when the heaven splitteth asunder and becometh rosy like red hide."
This picture was taken by the NASA Hubble Space Telescope of the "Cat's Eye
Nebula", an explosion of a supernova that took place 3,000 years ago. This
is a glass hour explosion seen from the top. At the center the star is
visible. There are virtually millions of these explosions that can be
detected in our own galaxy. Such explosions have been taking place for
billions of years and will continue to take place for trillions of more
years. Virtually all stars, when exhaust their fuel or burn enough hydrogen
will die and if they are supernovas they explode and emit gasses from their
north and south poles looking like glass hours.
This nebula is much more complex than other nebulas suggesting that the star
might be a double-star system. The dynamical effects of two stars orbiting
one another can explain this intricate structures. (The two stars are too
close together to be individually resolved by Hubble, and instead, appear as
a single point of light at the center of the nebula.)
This one, also an hour glass nebula is another similar explosion located
8,000 light years away.
Muhammad was a typical prophet of doom and gloom. He was very fond of
scaring people with tales of blazing fires and dreadful things. The above
verses are one of his scare mongering stunts. In the above verses he is
threatening his gullible followers that one day the sky will open asunder
and becomes red (with fire). He thought that the sky is like a blue dome
overhanging the earth with invisible columns that can open asunder. Saying
that the sky will open asunder shows this man, like his contemporaries was
ignorant of what sky is.
The Cat's Eye Nebula that can only be seen with the help of the most
powerful telescope outside the atmosphere of the Earth has nothing to do
with what Muhammad said. It is not scary at all. It took place some 1500
years before Muhammad was born, it virtually has no effect on our solar
system and our planet.
The photographs are taken by NASA in infrared or X-ray spectrum. So, the
photos that you see are actually invisible most times to the naked eye
(since we cannot see infrared and X-ray as colors). False colors are added
by NASA at the time of releasing the pictures. The way the false color
algorithms work is that you can give any color and it will shade the picture
accordingly in that spectrum or band. Check up on "false color" term as
applies to satellite or telescope imagery. So the explosion is not actually
rosy. NASA has given this color to the picture but they could have given any
color and the entire argument is baseless.
Here are some other nebulas formed by dying stars. The variety of colors is
due to the different composition of gases that they emit. Our sun will have
the same end. But billions of years before that, the earth will become dry,
not a single drop of water will be left and of course humans and other forms
of life will disappear much earlier.
*Miracle or Fluke? *
Look at the following picture. What message do you think Allah is trying to
convey here?
Is it yet another secret message from Allah to make Muslims go and kiss
this?
What about this natural stone formation at Thailand's Samui beaches? What
message Allah is delivering here?
Take the clouds in the background into consideration and you'll see a more
dramatic miracle. Looks like this rock is having orgasm. (I am not sure
whether these pictures belong to this site. But hey, why not? They are
miracles of Allah)
Ask your Imam what is the message of Allah here?
Darn! I shouldn't have shown this picture. After all Muslims visit this site
and they have wild imaginations.
My dear Muslim friend, Believe me, these are flukes of the nature. Nobody is
sending any messages. Only Muslims are so intellectually bankrupt that see
messages in clouds, in trees and in tomatoes. God does not play these silly
games. These so called miracles are embarrassingly foolish. They only make
Muslims look naive, gullible and simple-minded. Why is it that one billion
Muslims cannot produce a single intelligent argument in defense of Islam,
and all they can resort to are some silly pictures that they call miracles?
Isn't this, another evidence that Islam is a bankrupt religion? Baby and
Tree Witnessing
This baby is testifying to the oneness of Allah ..err.. or may be not!...
Wrong finger! Looks like he wants to tell us something about these
miracles.
Splitting the Moon
Muslims believe that while Muhammad was in Mecca, Allah split the Moon as a
miracle to the Meccans. This claim is made in the Quran.
Surah 54 of the Quran is called "The Moon." It starts by saying:
The hour drew nigh and the moon did rend asunder.
And if they see a miracle they turn aside and say: Transient magic.
And they call (it) a lie, and follow their low desires; and every affair has
its appointed term.
The great Muslim scholar Maududi
explains:<http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/maududi/mau54.html>"The
amazing and wonderful phenomenon of the splitting of the Moon was a
manifest sign of the truth that the Resurrection, of which the Holy Prophet
was giving them the news, could take place and that it had approached near
at hand. The great sphere of the Moon had split into two distinct parts in
front of their very eyes. The two parts had separated and receded so much
apart from each other that to the on-lookers one part had appeared on one
side of the mountain and the other on the other side of it. Then, in an
instant the two had rejoined."
However, there are several problems with this story.
The main problem is that it contradicts the Quran itself. In various places
Muhammad admitted that he could not have or did not have to perform miracles
to prove himself. When asked to perform miracles his response was:
Glory be to my Lord; am I aught but a mortal messenger??* *Q. 17:
93<http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/017.qmt.html#017.093>
In another place Muhammad put the following words in the mouth of Allah:
And those who disbelieve say: Why has not a sign been sent down upon him
from his Lord? You are only a warner. Q. 13:
07<http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/013.qmt.html#013.007>
Muhammad insisted that even though other prophets had miracles, his only
miracle is the Quran. So when Muslims claim that Muhammad performed
miracles, they are going against the Quran itself. (See the article Did
Muhammad Perform
Miracles?<http://www.faithfreedom.org/Articles/sina/miracles_of_Mo.htm>
)
The other problem with this claim is that such a phenomenon should have been
observed not just in Mecca but also all over the world. Many cultures have
recorded even eclipses, why there is no mention of such a thing that for
sure would have been the most amazing phenomenon?
Moiz Amjad, one scholar that answers questions for
Understanding-Islam.comsite says, "I have not yet come across any
historical accounts of other
nations, which refer to the incident." He thinks this is "a sign of the
promised hour."<http://www.understanding-islam.com/related/text.asp?type=question&qid=1226>
Curiously the same site contradicts itself and claims that in fact a certain
king of India observed the splitting of the
Moon<http://www.understanding-islam.org/related/text.asp?type=rarticle&raid=170>and
he sent his son to Mecca who converted to Islam and upon returning he
died in Yemen.
This story is of course another fabrication of Muslims. Muslims are fond of
fabricating stories to attribute Miracles to their prophet. They do it all
the time. One such ridiculous fabrication was the claim that the astronauts
who landed on Moon heard the *adhan *(Muslim call to prayer) being chanted
there. There are thousands more.
First of all there is no record that any King of India ever visited
Muhammad. This is not mentioned in any biography of Muhammad.
Secondly the splitting of the Moon should have been observed by everyone all
over the world and not just by one king. Where is the record of such a
phenomenon?
Thirdly, assuming that this Indian king saw splitting of the Moon, how could
he interpret this alleged cosmic phenomenon as the sign that there has
appeared a new prophet in Mecca? Muslims claim that Indian scriptures
contain predictions about the coming of a messenger from Arabia. This is
bull. There is no mention of Muhammad in any sacred book of any religion.
Many Muslims are convinced that this phenomenon has indeed happened. They
are shown these close-up pictures of the Moon taken by NASA as the evidence
and as gullible as they naturally are, they believe without any hesitation.
.
These are called Lunar Rilles. Rilles are long and deep gorges resembling
canyons. A rille is typically several kilometers wide and hundreds of
kilometers in length. Similar formations are found on a number of planets in
the solar system, including Mars, Venus, and on a number of moons. See
bellow <http://www.faithfreedom.org/Articles/sina40928p14.htm#1>
How these rilles are formed is still not known with certainty. Theories
include erosion at some point in the stellar body's history, collapsed lava
tubes, and tectonic activity/stresses.
There are three types of rilles on the lunar surface:
- *Sinuous* rilles meander in a curved path like a river, and are
commonly thought to be the remains of collapsed lava tubes or extinct lava
flows. They usually begin at an extinct volcano, then meander and sometimes
split as they are followed across the surface.
- *Arcuate* rilles have a smooth curve and are found on the edges of
the dark lunar maria. They are believed to form when the lava flows that
created a mare <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_mare> cools,
contracts, and sinks.
- *Straight* rilles follow long, linear paths and are believed to be
grabens <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graben>. That is, a section of
the crust that has sunk between two parallel faults. These can be readily
identified when they pass through craters or mountain ranges.
Rilles can be found all over the lunar surface and they do not form a belt
and therefore do not in anyway support the claim of Muslims that the Moon
had been split asunder. Here are a few pictures that should dismiss this
Islamic wishful thinking. To understand how rilles scar the surface of the
Moon, we have to take a look at pictures showing the moon from farther up.
Do these gorges look like they are cutting the Moon in two halves?
Lying For a Good Cause.
By Ali Sina <http://www.faithfreedom.org/Author/Sina.htm>
The New Nation, Bangladesh 's News Source on April 22, 2004 published a very
sensational story. This is what they
published<http://nation.ittefaq.com/artman/publish/article_8519.shtml>
:
*Giant human skeleton found in Saudi Arabia*
By Saalim Alvi from Riyadh
Apr 22, 2004, 12:04
Recently gas exploration is going in the desert of south east region of Saudi
Arabia . This desert region is called Empty Quarter , which means in Arabic
"RAB - UL -KHAALEE"; this body has been found by ARAMCO exploration team.
This proves what Allah SWT said in QURAN about the people of AAD nation and
HOOD nation.
They were so tall, wide and very power full that they were able to pull out
big trees just with the one hand. But what happen after when they become
misguided and disobeys Allah SWT, Allah SWT destroyed the whole nation.
ULEMA KIRAM of Saudi Arabia believes that this body belongs to AAD nation.
Saudi military took over this whole area. And nobody is allowed to go in
this region except Saudi ARAMCO personnel's. Saudi government has kept it
very secret but some military helicopters took pictures from air. And one of
them he runs on internet here in Saudi Arabia .
(c) Copyright 2003 by The New Nation
However, members of Faith Freedom International did some detective work and
found the original photo. Here it is:
<http://www.graphics.cornell.edu/outreach/mastodon/skeleton-overhead-pos03.jpg>
This of course is the aerial picture of a pit at the site outside Hyde
Park, New
York , taken on September 16, 2000. The site was excavated by the
Paleontological
Research Institution <http://www.priweb.org/> and the Cornell Department of
Geological Sciences <http://www.geo.cornell.edu/> and what they found was
the skeleton of a mastodon.
This is how mastodons looked like:
The American mastodon (scientific name Mammut americanum) roamed North
America from at least 3.75 million to 10,000 years ago. Mastodons, along
with mammoths and modern elephants, are members of the order Proboscidea. As
adults they stood between 2.5 and 3 meters (8-10 feet) at the shoulder and
weighed between 3500 and 5400 kilograms (4-6 tons).
Here are more pictures of that site.
http://www.graphics.cornell.edu/outreach/mastodon/index.html
http://www.graphics.cornell.edu/outreach/mastodon/aerial-views.html
So the site does not contain the skeleton of a giant man and it is not in Saudi
Arabia .
But why The New Nation, which is one of the major publications of Bangladesh ,
reports such deceiving story?
The answer is to be found in the books of hadith and the stories that were
told by the Prophet Muhammad.
According to several hadiths Adam was 60 cubits (90 feet) tall.
*Bukhari Volume 4, Book 55, Number
543:*<http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/bukhari/055.sbt.html#004.055.543>
* *The Prophet said, "Allah created Adam, making him 60 cubits tall....*People
have been decreasing in stature since Adam's creation.*
*Bukhari Volume 8, Book 74, Number
246:*<http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/bukhari/074.sbt.html#008.074.246>
* *The Prophet said, "Allah created Adam in his complete shape and form
(directly), sixty cubits (about 30 meters) in height.
According to the above traditions humans have been decreasing in size ever
since Adam put foot on earth. So that digitally forged photo is an attempt
to prove that what Muhammad said was true.
Discoveries in paleontology show that humans have been steadily growing in
size. Homo habilis who lived 2.4-1.5 million years ago were no more than 150
cm tall. Their ancestors, the Australopithecus, were just about 100 cm tall.
Therefore Muhammad's story of Adam and other ancient people being extremely
tall is sheer nonsense.
However, Muslims are busy fooling themselves through forgeries, deceits and
lies. They have written volumes with fabricated stories to prove that the
Quran is scientific. Once you delve into Islam you see it is an edifice
erected with lies and virtually nothing else. Every break, every component
of Islam is a lie. It is mind boggling how one lie is placed on another and
a religion is built with sheer lies.
Amazingly those who engage in these forgeries believe they are doing a
service to Allah for strengthening the faith of people in him and those who
believe in these lies are more than happy to have found yet another "proof"
that validates their faith. .
Lying for Allah is okay according to the eminent Islamic scholar Imam
Ghazali who wrote:
" When it is possible to achieve such an aim by lying but not by telling the
truth, it is permissible to lie if attaining the goal is permissible "* **(Ref:
Ahmad Ibn Naqib al-Misri, The Reliance of the Traveller, translated by Nuh
Ha Mim Keller , Amana publications, 1997, section r8.2, page 745). *
Imam Ghazali does not say this without knowledge. He is basing his fatwa on
the words and examples of the Prophet himself.
In one hadith we read that the prophet calls upon his followers to assassin
Ka'b ibn Ashraf, the chief of a Jewish tribe who was wary of Muhammad and
tells them it is okay to tell a lie to deceive him. Bukhari, Volume
5, #369<http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/bukhari/059.sbt.html#005.059.369>
The fact is that Muslims feel no pang of conscience to lie if that lie is
said for Allah's sake and his religion. If the lie is said for a good cause
it is okay.
If a major newspaper, in this day of the Internet and world wide
communication is not abashed to fabricate such an obvious lie to promote
Islam one can only imagine how the rest of the miracles and noble acts
attributed to Muhammad were forged in a time when educated people were
scarce and opposing views were gagged.
*Further studies*: *Denis

* *and the directors of Free Thought Mecca show how gullible Muslims can be.
They invent a hoax story about Israeli scientists finding that Adam was 90
feet tall and Muslim scholars fall for it. A very interesting article that
should really embarrass any thinking Muslim, but as you can see it does
not.
The following are rilles found on Mars and Venus.
Martian rilles Venetian rilles
This is Europa, the moon of Jupiter
These are European rilles.
I hope that by now it is clear that the claim that the lunar rilles are
proof that the Moon has been split asunder is just another Islamic lunacy.
