 Koran
(University of Michigan) - the Muslim holy book describing Islam much like
the Bible describes the origins and manifestations of Christianity. The
following are search results of mentioned and unmentioned subjects in the
Koran:
Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) official website, Sep
6, 2003: "... is an inter-governmental
organization grouping fifty-six States. These States decided to pool their
resources together, combine their efforts ... in absolute priority, with
liberating Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa from Zionist
occupation."

Sharia (Encyclopaedia Britannica): "Legal and moral code of Islam,
systematized in the early centuries of the Muslim era (8th–9th century AD). It
rests on four bases: the Quran; the sunna, as recorded in the Hadith; ijma, or
universal agreement; and qiya, or analogical reasoning. Sharia differs fundamentally from Western law in that it purports
to be grounded in divine revelation. Among modern Muslim
countries, Saudi Arabia and Iran retain Sharia as the law of the land, secular
as well as religious, but the Westernized civil codes of most other Muslim
countries have departed from its precepts when this was deemed unavoidable.
Most Islamic fundamentalist groups insist that
Muslim countries should be governed by Sharia."
Hadith (Encyclopaedia Britannica): "... the spoken
traditions attributed to the Prophet Muhammad , which are revered and received
in Islam as a major source of religious law and moral guidance. The development
of Hadith was a vital element during the first three centuries of Islamic
history, and its study provides a broad index to the mind and ethos of Islam."
Human Rights and Human Wrongs. Sharia can’t be an
exception to international human-rights norms. (David Littman, NRO, Jan 19,
2003): "The principal aim of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human
Rights (UDHR) was to create a framework for a universal code based on mutual
consent."
Extreme Sharia (Center for Religious Freedom/Freedom
House, Mar-Jun 2002 Newsletter): "In its most recent survey on the state of
political freedom and civil liberties around the world, Freedom House found that there is a dramatic, expanding gap in the
levels of freedom and democracy between Islamic countries and the rest of the
world. Only 11 of the world's 47 Muslim countries can be
categorized as "democracies." This means that a non-Islamic state is more than
three times more likely to be democratic as an Islamic state. There are no electoral democracies at all among the 16 Arabic
states of the Middle East and northern Africa. There is an
even more dramatic freedom gap between majority Islamic countries and the rest
of the world. In countries with a Muslim
majority, there is just one Free country, Mali, while 18 are
rated Partly Free and 28 are Not Free. Of the ten
lowest ranking countries in civil liberties, most are
Muslim. This defies the trend
in the rest of the world with 2001 being a high water mark for democracy and
freedom in general. The Center for Religious Freedom's own
survey on religious freedom found that the
religious areas with the largest current restrictions on religious freedom are
the Islamic countries. In July, the UN released its "Arab
Development Report" validating our findings and warning that Arab societies are being crippled by a lack of political freedom,
repression of women and intellectual isolation. One statistic that stands out:
In the last 1,000 years the whole Arab world translated as many books as Spain
does in one year. Another is the fact that half of Arab women are
illiterate."
Do you believe in modernity? (Daniel Pipes, JP, Nov 26, 2003):
"If militant Islam is the problem and moderate
Islam is the solution, ...
how does one differentiate between these two forms of
Islam?"

AUTHENTIC THEOLOGICAL REASON WHY MOSLEMS SHOULD NOT RECOGNIZE THE STATE OF
ISRAEL (Shaykh Prof. Abdul Hadi Palazzi)
THE
QUR'AN SAYS THAT ALLAH GAVE THE LAND OF ISRAEL TO THE JEWS AND WILL RESTORE THEM
TO IT AT THE END OF DAYS (Shaykh Prof. Abdul Hadi Palazzi)
Egyptian Ministry of Culture Publication: The Prophet Muhammad's 'Night
Journey' was Not to Jerusalem but to Medina (Ahmad Muhammad 'Arafa, Egyptian
weekly Al-Qahira/MEMRI, Aug 5, 2003)
Egyptian Ministry of Culture Publication: The Al-Aqsa Mosque and Dome
of the Rock were Built to Divert the Pilgrimage from Mecca; Jerusalem was Not
the Center of Worship for the Followers of the Prophet Muhammad (Ahmad Muhammad
'Arafa, Egyptian weekly Al-Qahira/MEMRI, Oct 3, 2003)
The Muslim Claim to Jerusalem (Daniel Pipes, Middle East
Quarterly, Fall 2001): "Jerusalem appears in the Jewish Bible 669 times and
Zion (which usually means Jerusalem, sometimes the Land of Israel) 154 times, or
823 times in all. The Christian Bible mentions Jerusalem 154 times and Zion 7
times. In contrast, the columnist Moshe Kohn notes, Jerusalem and Zion appear as
frequently in the Qur'an "as they do in the Hindu Bhagavad-Gita, the Taoist
Tao-Te Ching, the Buddhist Dhamapada and the Zoroastrian Zend Avesta"-which is
to say, not once."
What
the Koran says about Israel and Jerusalem (Israel Today, Dec 16, 2002): "The
Jewish claim to the Land of Israel is based on the Word of God-the Bible. But is
the Arab-Moslem claim to the same Land based on the Islamic holy book-the Koran?
Is there anything written in the Koran about the relationship of the Jews to the
Land of Israel? israel today's editor-in-chief, Aviel Schneider, speaks with a
Jew, a Moslem and a Christian in an attempt to find out."
The Jewish Temple (Arab-American journalist Joseph Farah, WND, August
14, 2003: "Not only are Arafat's minions in Jerusalem today attempting to
rewrite the history of Arabs and Jews in the region as told by others, they are
attempting to rewrite the history of Arabs and Jews in the region as told by
Arabs."
Challenging the
Qur’an. A German scholar contends that the Islamic text has been mistranscribed
and promises raisins, not virgins (Newsweek, Jul 28, 2003): "Such
interpretations will undoubtedly draw the ire of many Muslims—and not just
extremists. After all, revisionist scholars have been persecuted for much less;
in 2001, Egypt’s Constitutional Court confirmed the “apostasy” of former
University of Cairo scholar Nasr Hamid Abu-Zayd, for considering the Qur’an a
document written by humans."
 This is not Islam (Paris based Iranian journalist Amir
Taheri, The New York Post, Aug 15, 2003): "Muslim women could easily check the fraudulent nature of the
neo-Islamist hijab by leafing through their family albums. They will not find
the picture of a single female ancestor of theirs who wore the cursed headgear
now marketed as an absolute "must" of Islam. This fake
Islamic hijab is nothing but a political prop, a weapon of visual terrorism. It
is the symbol of a totalitarian ideology inspired more by Nazism and Communism
than by Islam. It is as symbolic of Islam as the Mao uniform was of Chinese
civilization. It is used as a means of exerting pressure on Muslim women who do
not wear it because they do not share the sick ideology behind it. It is a sign
of support for extremists who wish to impose their creed, first on Muslims, and
then on the world through psychological pressure, violence, terror, and,
ultimately, war."
