The above is a perfect description of how Muslims follow every utterance by Mohamed. If anything, they are much more devout in that regard than are Jews and Christians. MUCH more.
Just keep reading 9:30. It’s said in exactly the same way that Christians are said to believe in “the messiah” as the son of Allah. All of the above ‘maybes’ are diversions.
You make a reasonable point here.
However, the manner in which the currrent understanding of the vast majority of Muslims was arrived at is moot (in terms of the situation on the ground - not academically).
Not sure what you're arguing here. I'm talking about the obvious error in the Qur'an that I very clearly stated in the OP.
You are obviously missing the point on purpose as a form of diversion. I'll leave you to it. Bye.
Really?
Forgetting for the moment that translators almost universally call him Ezra (like Musa is Moses, and Isa is Jesus, etc), you've completely missed the point. The Jews don't call anyone the son of God. In that regard the Qur'an is clearly in error.
Again, not the point.
No, they exercised their right to worship as they pleased - a right that Islam doesn't recognise, as evidenced by the repeated commands to adopt Islam that I spoke of earlier and the eventual command to Muslims to fight them (9:29).
Yes, not only in this verse, but in many others the Qur'an commands Jews and Christians too follow the Qur'an in addition to the bible. It's not a secret, and there's nothing really to debate.
Verse 9:30 starts, "Sahih International: The Jews say, "Ezra is the son of Allah ....."
No they don't. I have never heard any Jewish claim of the sort. I fail to see how that is not a blatant untruth.
I've always thought that the word 'supernatural' made as much sense as 'round square'. If something exists, then by definition it is part of nature. Therefore, I don't think there's such a thing as supernatural.
From the article, "Islamism is therefore not about the Islamic faith. Rather, it is a dystopian ideology that distorts religion and reality to fit its "anti-" platform."
This is the politically correct sort of nonsense that we MUST nod in agreement to unless we want to be branded...

- 4:46 - "Among the Jews are those who distort words from their (proper) usages ... twisting their tongues and defaming the religion [Islam] ... Allah has cursed them for their disbelief, so they believe not, except for a few.
- 4:47 - "O you who were given the Scripture...
From the article: "Islamism is anti-Semitic in promoting the view that Jews are evil." They get that directly from the Qur'an:
- 2:75 - "They [Jews] willfully distorted the word of Allah".
- 2:76-78 - "They [Jews] would hear the word of God and understand it. Then they would purposely...
Okay, one at a time. I read the whole thing, and as I expected, there was a whole lot of tap-dancing. The plain (and ugly) truth is that Islam and "Islamism" are the same thing. It is a creed of domination, pure and simple. After 20+ years of evolution, Islam can be summed up by reading Surah 9...
You've already been told. Mohsin Khan for one.
