Koranic Contradictions

    One of the major contradictions in the Koran is the 114 verses that speak of love, peace, and forgiveness. These verses were "heard" by Muhammad in Medina where he had to tread lightly and look nice as there was much opposition to his new religion, which included destroying the statues of other people's gods in public places. It appears that intolerance and respect for other people's property were lacking in Islam from the beginning.
    However, when Muhammad moved to Mecca, he was in a very powerful position having driven out two Jewish tribes and having killed the men of another Jewish tribe,and taken their women, children, and property. Now he didn't have to tread lightly. Now he had "revealed" to him Sura 9:5 ( the Koran is not in chronological order) which said, "Fight and slay the pagans wherever you find them, beleaguer them, lie in wait for them in every strategy (of war)..." This verse is known as the Verse of the Sword, and it abrogates the 114 verses of love, peace, and forgiveness.
    Islamic scholars have attempted to overcome these contradictions by deciding that the more recent verses override (nasikh) the earlier ones. Of course, any thinking person would have to ask why, if Allah was all-knowing and all-powerful,  would he contradict himself? Muhammad headed that question off at the pass by "hearing" Angel Gabriel say that Allah said that any Muslim who questioned anything about Islam should be killed. That's called ad baculum logic - logic of the stick. It's the logic of avoiding bodily harm which brings us back to the lynch pin of radical Islam: force. Why did Muhammad have such an extreme love of force? What happened to him?

Crusaders? Defenders, Crybullies!

    If radical Islamists don't get what they want through demanding, pushing, intimidating, and attacking then they falsely play the victim role. They have no pride in acting like men. Instead, they are robots programmed by the myth that Allah spoke to the angel Gabriel who spoke to Muhammad. Among the Koran, the Hadith, and the Sharia every move, every thought, a radical Muslim makes is mandated from the past.
    The following comes from Glenn Beck's book It Is About Islam, page 107 so you can verify, and I hope read on. The Crusades were a response to
Islamic imperialism. The key to understanding radical Islam is the word "force."
Everything is done by force because everything is so horrible, no one would do any of it by free choice. Eventually, force brainwashes the convert, and she comes to love the force. If you or someone else can't defeat the aggressor, most people eventually identify with it, no matter how evil it is.
    The Christian crusades were bracketed before and after by Islamic jihad which means Holy War. Some historians have said that without the Christian Crusades, all of Europe would have gone to the Muslim sword. In 1683, the Muslims from the Ottoman Empire were held back from seizing Vienna.
    It is disgusting that Hellary Clinton can turn her back on all that is happening right now with radical Muslim barbarity and imperialism and call those people who don't want others to be murdered "Islamophobes." Her behavior is divorced from reality. She should be elected president of the Lunatics Club, not president of the United States. Hillary is above the law. There's no controlling her. At least America can control Trump. We've made him apologize at least once during the campaign. Madam Secretary will not and cannot come to heel. If she and Obama gave us the creation of the Islamic State, what catastrophes will be next if she becomes President?
