Absurdity in the Quran
- "This is the Scripture whereof there is no doubt, a guidance unto those who ward off (evil)."
There is no doubt about this or any other "Scripture". It is false. It wasn't revealed by God and it won't "ward off evil."
2:2
- "Shall we believe as the foolish believe?"
According to the Quran, the answer is, yes. To be truly wise you must believe whatever the foolish believe. 2:13
- "If Allah willed, He could destroy their hearing and their sight. Lo! Allah is able to do all things." 2:20
- "And if ye are in doubt ... then produce a surah of the like thereof."
If you doubt that the truth of the Quran, then try making some stuff up and see how it compares. (Whatever you come up with will be better than the
Quran.) 2:23
- Allah commands the angels to worship Adam. They all do, except for
Iblis, who becomes a disbeliever. 2:34
- Allah stamped wretchedness upon the Jews at the time of Moses because they killed the prophets
and disbelieved Allah's revelations. But what prophets could they have killed and what
revelations could they have rejected? Most of the prophets and revelations came later, didn't they? 2:61
- Allah turned the Sabbath-breaking Jews into apes. 2:65-66
- To settle a murder mystery, Allah brought a murder victim
back to life by hitting his dead body with a piece of the yellow cow. The risen man then
identified his murderer! 2:72-3
- Allah makes a man "die" for 100 years, and then brings him back to life.
2:259
- To show how he gives life to the dead, Allah tells Abraham to cut up the
bodies of four birds, scatter their remains on four hills, and then call to them. Allah says
that the dead birds will come quickly to Abraham. 2:260
- "Ye will overcome them if ye are (indeed) believers."
(Believers always defeat unbelievers.) 3:139
- "Think not of those, who are slain in the way of Allah, as dead." 3:169-171
- "We shall cast him into Fire, and that is ever easy for Allah." 4:30
- If you get dirty (by touching a woman or something), and can't find any clean water
around at prayer time, you can clean up by rubbing your face and hands in some clean
dirt. 4:43
- Christians and Jews must believe what Allah has revealed to Muhammad or
Allah will turn them into apes, as he did the Sabbath-breakers. (See
2:65-66) 4:47
- If the Quran was not from Allah its critics would find some mistakes in it.
(The Quran filled with mistakes. It is a silly, error-filled book. But even if
the Quran didn't contain a single error, it would not prove that it was from Allah.) 4:82
- Allah will also cause them to cut the catttle's ears and change Allah's
creation. (This is interpreted
to mean that Muslim men must not shave their beards, and Muslim women must not pluck their
eyebrows.) 4:119
- Jesus was not crucified. (It just looked like he was.) 4:157-8
- When it's time to pray and you have just used the toilet or touched
a woman, be sure to wash up. If you can't find any water, just rub some dirt on yourself.
5:6
- Allah has turned some Christians and Jews into apes and swine. 5:60
- Jesus made a bird out of clay that flew away when he blew on it.
5:110

David,
Elisha, and
Lot on a good and righteous path.
6:84-87

except for Iblis. 7:11

female camel. 7:73
- "Then he [Moses] flung down his staff and lo! it was a serpent." 7:107
- "And he [Moses] drew forth his hand (from his bosom), and lo! it was white." 7:108
- We inspired Moses (saying): Throw thy staff! And lo! it swallowed up their lying show. 7:117

7:133

intelligence. 8:65
- "The Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah." (Where and when did any Jew ever say that?) 9:30
- "They have taken as lords ... their rabbis and their monks."
Jews and Christians consider rabbis and monks to be partners with God? How do Muslims treat Muhammad?
9:31
- Invisible armies!
Allah supported Muhammad with armies that no one else could see. 9:40
- The Quran is so perfect it could never be invented. Go ahead and try to write a Surah as great as those in the Quran.
10:37-38
- The Pharaoh became a Muslim to avoid being drowned by Allah. 10:90
- "And We verily did allot unto the Children of Israel a fixed abode."
Really? Then why do modern Muslims object to Jews occupying the land (Israel) that Allah gave them?
10:93
- A test for those who suspect that Muhammad invented the Quran: compose ten surahs like those in the Quran. (It shouldn't be hard
to do much better than surahs 38, 40,
44, 47, 63,
66, 88, 105,
111, and 114.) 11:13

Muhammad confused Mary with Miriam.) 19:27-28
- Moses turns his staff into a serpent. 20:18-20
- The golden (or saffron-colored) calf mooed. 20:88
- In Genesis (3:22-24), Adam and Eve are driven out of the Garden of
Eden before eating from the "Tree of Life" and thereby becoming immortal. But here they eat from
"the tree of immortality and power" -- yet they don't become immortal or powerful, they become ashamed
of their nakedness. Why? 20:120-1
- Allah gave judgment and knowledge to Lot. He was a righteous man.
(Genesis 19:7-38) 21:75
- Every person alive at the time of the flood was evil. So Allah drowned them all.

from) and makes his hand turn white. 28:31-32
- Noah was 950 years old at the time of the flood. [Genesis (7:11) says he was only 600.]
29:14
- Lot is among the righteous.
29:26-27
- Allah offered the heavens, earth, and hills the the duty of worshiping him, but they were
afraid and refused. So humans got the job instead. 33:72
- Allah gave Solomon some of the jinn to work for him.
34:12
- Everyone followed Satan except for a group of true believers. 34:20
- Those who worshipped the jinn will taste the doom of the Fire.
34:41
- The devil is real. He and his followers will burn forever in the Fire. 35:6

After that they return to hell. 37:62-68
- Jonah was swallowed by a fish. 37:142

Just what the world needs: a few more single-minded slaves of Allah! 37:169

- Allah made the wind obey Solomon. 38:34-36
- Job kicked the ground and immediately a spring flowed out. 38:41-2

of the disbelievers. 38:73-4
- Iblis asks Allah to let him hang around and mislead humans.
Allah allows him to do so, and Iblis leads all humans to hell except for the single-minded slaves.
Allah agrees, and plans to fill hell with Iblis and his followers. 38:79-85
- Thus does Allah send astray the disbelievers (in his guidance).
40:74
- If bad stuff happens to you, it's your own fault. 42:30,
42:48
