Muhammad And The Book of Love, Uh, Koran. Yeah, No. So much for the idea of muslim fairy tales and great romances, especially in the Koran. Our good professor, Dr. Bill Warner, dry as he may be, did us all the service of compiling the love quotient in the Koran and gives us a rundown. Okay, lets see: 47 mentions of love. In a quick search of my favorite Bible translation, the Douay-Rheims, love appears 245 times, and no, not all of that is in the romantic sense. Do not make friends of your fathers and brothers if they love unbelief of Islam. So much for loving neighbors as oneself. Oh, wait, Jesus said that. Jesus did say that when we follow Him we are to leave our families, but he never said to not love them, even if they did not believe. Allah does not love the kafir. Oh, well, God loves everyone. God so loves the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whoso believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. (Stainer motet of this here.) This is not to condemn the world but save it. In comparison, Allah sounds a bit stingy. Allah does not love those that excede limits. So no forgiveness on earth, huh? Just those 72 virgins after death? In Christianity we call this a combination of lust and gluttony. Allah does not love the arrogant or the boastful. But whining guilt mongers are okay. Okay. You are commanded to fight even though you dislike it. Really? I mean, seriously, I might break a nail. At least Jesus asks for sacrifice of time and talents, not the sword. Allah does not love those who object to the faith. Then how are muslims supposed to get people to join. Oh, thats right, the promise of sex and forcing it via the sword. So much for the Koran being any sort of book of love. Even in that Muhammads teachings are pretty much the opposite of Jesus. And they want us to believe Islam is superior. Yeah, no.
