These are the successful. 2:6 As for the Disbelievers, Whether thou warn them or thou warn them not it is all one for them; they believe not. 2:7 Allah hath sealed their hearing and their hearts, and on their eyes there is a covering. Theirs will be an awful doom. www.amberpawlik.com Islam on Trial This is almost all there is to the Koran! Repeated threats and insults at infidels. Koran They are stupid, thankless, liars, hated by Allah Will be sent to hell where they will choke on food, have no friends, and have boiling water poured on their heads Calls to fight against the infidels Promises of good things in the after life for believers www.amberpawlik.com Islam on Trial Study Statistical study of Koran Main purpose is to give warranted percentage of how much of Koran is venom aimed at infidels 201 verses. Picked by taking middle verse of every Sura and every 70th verse in addition. www.amberpawlik.com Islam on Trial 53% (106/201) is hatred aimed at infidels, defined as: Study Results Threats towards infidels either in the afterlife or this life. Degrading infidels by calling them evil, stupid, blind, deaf, liars, thankless, etc. Calls to fight against them. Verses that say "except the believers" when wishing death on nonbelievers were counted as hatred since avoiding death is not a positive to believers. The threat or insult can be aimed at infidels in general or any specific infidel. 25% (50/201) deals with believers, defined as: Mentioning them. Saying they are righteous. Saying they will get good things. Any mentions of one of the prophets was put into this category too. www.amberpawlik.com Islam on Trial Study Results 11% (23/201) deal with Allah: Who he is. That he is almighty. Any of his creations. 5% (10/201) deal with the Day of Doom or the Day of Judgment: The Day of Doom is when destruction is sent on the earth.

Even children are a test of a Muslim’s faith Let not, therefore, their riches or their children amaze thee. God is only minded to punish them by these, in this life present, and that their souls may depart while they are unbelievers. (9.55) Certainly are excited for riches in heaven however But, for the God-fearing is a blissful abode, Enclosed gardens and vineyards; And damsels with swelling breasts, their peers in age. (78.31-33) www.amberpawlik.com Islam on Trial Sura 38.44: A punishment to wives can be accomplished with a rod with 100 whips rather than 100 lashes Muslim men are allowed 4 wives. Muhammad however was allowed as many as he wanted Muslim women think this is benevolent Blatant advocacy of rape: Women “It is not permitted thee to take other wives hereafter, nor to change thy present wives for other women, though their beauty charm thee, except slaves whom thy right hand shall possess. And God watcheth all things.” (33.52) Sura 66.1: Muhammad’s wife asks him to stop sleeping with a slave. Muhammad tells her Iranian Old Magazine Covers Allah says it is OK so to hell with her wishes! Islam was Mohammed’s rationalization to do what he wants in the name of religion. www.amberpawlik.com Islam on Trial Threats against infidels Islamic Terrorism "... This book is no other than a warning and a clear Koran, To warn whoever liveth; and, that against the Infidels sentence may be justly given." (36.69-70) Dehumanizing and devaluing of all infidels with insults Predestination: Allah makes them be infidels War is to be made on infidels. If they submit, they can live but their houses must be handed over to Muslims and they must pay tax to Muslims. Dhimmitude. Those who don’t submit are to be killed www.amberpawlik.com Islam on Trial Koran Quotes Quotes from the Koran O our Lord! punish us not if we forget, or fall into sin; O our Lord! and lay not on us a load like that which thou has laid on those who have been before us; O our Lord! and lay not on us that for which we have not strength: but blot out our sins and forgive us, and have pity on us. Thou art our protector: give us victory therefore over the infidel nations. (2.286) When thy Lord spake unto the angels, “I will be with you: therefore stablish ye the faithful. I will cast a dread into the hearts of the infidels.” Strike off their heads then, and strike off from them every finger tip. (8.12) Make war upon such of those to whom the Scriptures have been given as believe not in God, or in the last day, and who forbid not that which God and His Apostle have forbidden, and who profess not the profession of the truth, until they pay tribute out of hand, and they be humbled. (9.29) www.amberpawlik.com Islam on Trial Terrorism “And when we willed to destroy a city, to its affluent ones did we address our bidding: but when they acted criminally therein, just was its doom, and we destroyed it with an utter destruction.” (17.16) 9/11 hijackers were not misguided; they were in every way Islamic! www.amberpawlik.com Islam on Trial Muhammad Muhammad was a warlord Attacked innocent people Married a 6 year old.

Humor about Soviet Russia Sun Tzu: Hence to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting. Crusades did not eliminate Islam Islam, like communism, is not just a matter of “bad people” taking over an otherwise good philosophy Islamic terrorism should be fought militarily. Islam should be fought ideologically. www.amberpawlik.com Islam on Trial Call it for what it is: evil Sick, twisted, deranged ideology History of Islam Humor Meta-debate needs won People have a RIGHT to criticize Islam Simpson / South Park – Threat from Revolution Muslim Burn a Koran Day – American flag can be burned but not Koran General Petraeus weighs in / Freedom of speech given by soldier If submit to bullying, already living as dhimmis.
