Excerpt from a conversation with author and historian Dane Dahl

Question: "When you were laying the groundwork for The Moslem Institute and its sister project The Pox of Mohammed, what was the most startling aspect your research uncovered?"

Answer:   "Actually several items stand out. Two that come to mind involve the central role Khadija, Mohammed's first and only wife for twenty-four years played in founding the earliest version of Islam. Khadija was a princess in the ruling tribe that controlled the ancient Arabian city of Mecca and its all-important temple known as the Kabba. Hundreds of pagan gods and goddesses were worshiped in the Kabba Temple. I was surprised to learn, in spite of this pagan background this wealthy, powerful, and highly spiritual woman became an Ebionite Christian prior to her marriage with Mohammed."

Question: You said there were several items. Would you like to share some of the others?

Answer: Before writing The Pox of  Mohammed  I spent two years researching the religion of Islam. Most of the evidence I gathered is too complex to cover in the course of a lunchtime discussion.  If you want to learn more about Islam and its history, I suggest you read my book.

    There is however one important aspect I will comment on. It pertains to what I believe may be the real cause of Mohammed's death. I don't think the messenger of Islam died of poisoning as Moslem tradition insists; I believe it may have been something more sinister.  More shameful. In fact, it's the reason I titled my book The Pox of Mohammed.

The Moslem Institute

In the 21^st Century, approximately 1.4 billion followers practice the Moslem faith, making Islam the second largest religion on earth. In the author's opinion the vast majority of Moslems are gentle, law-abiding people who combine religious piety with acts of tolerance, moderation, compassion, and most of all—common sense.

Such Moslems are more in keeping with the original doctrines of Islam, the ones that were practiced when Mohammed and his first wife, Khadija the Pure, lived in the city of Mecca.

Unfortunately such moderate Moslems are not the ones you hear about on the evening news. And during the same time period in which the Moslem population has swelled to record proportions (thereby making Islam's militant component all the more numerous and menacing) the number of people held in slavery throughout the world has also grown to unprecedented numbers. Catholics and Protestants and Jews living in Europe and America are largely unaware of it, but militant Islam has played a long and and brutal role in this immense human tragedy.

The United Nations puts the current number of women and children—and in rare cases men—who are taken into slavery each year at four million! Of these four million slaves, a sizeable percentage are held as sex slaves.

The following is an abbreviated compendium of research author and historian Dane Dahl conducted on these triplet topics: Islam, terrorism and modern human slavery, while preparing to write the historical fiction novel, The Pox of Mohammed.

The material in this online article titled The Moslem Institute is being offered for purposes of comment, criticism, research, and teaching. It is hoped this website will promote better understanding of the origins of Islam, and the underlying reason for the schizophrenic personality, (sometimes compassionate and gentle, and sometimes cruel and homicidal) the Moslem world has displayed to the rest of humanity for the past fourteen centuries.

The Koran

Author Dane Dahl has joined the ranks of those who believe the original Moslem faith began as a persecuted sect of Christianity. He also believes the first and real prophet of Islam was someone other than Mohammed—and that person was eventually erased from the Koran! This material offers insight into the identity of the shadowy personality who has almost disappeared from history. In so doing, this composition touches on the pivotal roles played by the extinct Ebionite Christian church in the earliest development of the Moslem faith.

Fourteen centuries ago, Moslems believe God (Allah) gave the Koran to their prophet in a series of revelations. As such, Moslems believe the Koran to be the literal words of God: perfect, unflawed, and eternal, the unbending guidebook all of mankind must eventually conform to. However . . . everything present-day Moslems believe about their religion may not be historically correct. This is especially true when you examine the beliefs of militant Islam.

Six things militant Moslems do NOT want Christians and Jews to know regarding the real history of the Koran

1. The earliest versions of the written Koran were scribed with a primitive form of Arabic that used only six letters to distinguish twenty-six different sounds.

According to the following academic website:

http://syrcom.cua.edu/Hugoye/Vol6No1/HV6N1PRPhenixHorn.html

Islamic scholar Christoph Luxenberg is quoted: "The Arabic alphabet used in the Qu'ran began as a shorthand ... not intended as a complete key to the sounds of the language."

Of the origins of the written Koran, another website says:

http://www.solbaram.org/articles/islam02.html "... there was no way of distinguishing between consonants ... and there was no way of indicating which vowels were to be used..."

Using six indeterminate letters¾none of whom are vowels and each of which can represent several distinctly different sounds (and meanings) makes any translations of the Koran compiled after the Sahaba (the original companions of the prophet died off) little more than guesswork. It also opened up enormous opportunities for fraud.

2. This primitive form of writing created chaos when later Moslem leaders tried to consolidate the many oral versions of the Koran into one officially accepted body of written scripture. These men did this so the Moslem holy book could be used as a tool to power. Unfortunately, in the process parts of the formerly oral Koran became ambiguous and confused. Perhaps this is why modern Moslems say: "Only God knows the true meaning ..." (of these words). Quoted from critique of verse 3:7. of M.A.S. Abdel Heleem's translation of the Koran. (Note: The parenthetical remark was added by historian Dane Dahl to clarify the text.)

3. Even Moslem tradition admits the Koran has been massively erased and revised. During this lengthy process the current version of the Koran lost its purity and much of its original message, but the author believes this was not always the case.

A key episode in this long-standing religious sedition (but not the first episode) took place approximately twenty years after Mohammed's death. It involved Caliph Uthman, the third successor to Mohammed. Uthman was assisted in his efforts by a cartel of corrupt friends and family members. He appointed these men to high office throughout the burgeoning Islamic empire.

http://www.search.com/reference/Banu_Tamim

Because of the important role Khadija the Pure played in founding the original religion of Islam, when women were first reviled and subjugated in the city of Medina, full scale civil war broke out more than once in early Moslem history. This strife almost destroyed the infant Arabian Desert religion called Islam. The first major rebellion involved another female prophetess named Sajah. Shortly after Mohammed died, Sajah the Prophetess emerged from the largest Arabian Desert tribe called the Banu Tamim.

Sajah the Prophetess challenged the corrupt all-male leadership who had seized control of the Moslem faith. After savage fighting, this brave woman and her devoted followers were ultimately defeated. Sajah went into hiding and her loyal supporters were killed. However, vast numbers of Arabs continued to hold secret views that were sympathetic to Prophetess Sajah; given the fact that the woman was still alive, Caliph Uthman and his political allies viewed her as a very real threat.

To fortify their position, these Arab rulers compiled a new official written version of the Koran, which up to that time, had been largely memorized and recited in oral tradition during ritual prayers. By that time most of the men who originally memorized the oral Koran from the mouth of the prophet were dead. Their passing created a crisis of leadership because varying interpretations of the Koran were emerging throughout parts of the Moslem empire. These competing versions of Islam threatened to split the faith into warring factions.

Compounding the problems Uthman faced, was the fact that illiteracy was rampant at the time of Mohammed; only a handful of precious Koranic manuscripts had been written down by the original companions of the prophet. These hand-written manuscripts existed in fragmentary pieces that were incomplete and often disagreed wth each other.

Under the guise of remedying these textual conflicts, Uthman and the men he allied himself with—massively rewrote the Koran. In the process, they deleted or changed everything that threatened their right to rule the Empire of Mohammed.

According to the following academic website http://www2sunysuffolk.edu/pecorip/CCCWEB/ETESTS/INTRO_TEXT/Chapter%203%20Religion/Koran-Origins.htm A’isha the favorite wife of the prophet, (who was still living when this act of religious sedition took place) says…according to a (Moslem) tradition recounted in al-Suynti, “… During the time of the prophet, the chapter of the Parties (now identified as chapter 33 – The Clans, which is actually the 103^rd chapter in correct chronological order in the Koran) used to be two hundred verses (long)…When Uthman edited the Koran, only the current verses (73 of them) were recorded." (Note: the parenthetical remarks were added by historian Dane Dahl in an effort to clarify the text.)

Moslem tradition admits Caliph Uthman erased an astonishing 127 verses from this one single chapter. Today, thirteen centuries later, only God knows how many other verses and even entire chapters have been altered, rewritten or entirely erased from the Moslem bible, by this corrupt man and his band of friends and greedy, blood relatives.

4. The modern day Koran has also been scrambled into a confused mess. According to the following website, http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08692a.htm, "the sacred book of the Moslems, by whom it is regarded as the revelation of God ... in its present form has no chronological or logical sequence." (Note: the underlined emphasis was added by historian Dane Dahl in an effort to clarify the text.)

An article in the on-line encyclopedia based on the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica, talks about some of the confusion that resulted, when the Koran was interpolated (interrupted or deliberately added-to) http://www.1911encyclopedia.org/Koran.

Significant numbers of lines of text, and in many cases entire chapters dating from the earliest days of Islam, (historians call them the Mecca chapters or Mecca Suras, as Muslims call them) which had already survived being edited or erased in their entirety, were then cut out of proper chronological and topical sequence and mixed up with other parts of the Koran that came years later—the time period following Khadija's death—in which Mohammed, his expanding harem of concubines, slaves, and wives lived in luxury in the thousand year old Jewish city of Yathrib, a city Mohammed's violent followers had occupied, plundered, and renamed Medina, after killing, enslaving, or expelling all of the Jewish inhabitants. Historians refer to these later (violent) chapters of the Koran as the the Medina chapters or the Medina Suras.

These later, concocted, and violently militant doctrines exist in direct opposition to Islam's early teachings, when Mohammed and his one wife of twenty-four years (Khadija the Pure) lived with a small, impoverished band of peace-loving followers in the city of Mecca.

To further compound the deception, key lines of text and even entire chapters dating from the Medina years (The Medina chapters—the violent harem years, which focused on sensual pleasures, luxury, greed, and amassing dictatorial power) were moved backward in chronological order. They were blended with older and original teachings from the earliest days of Islam—the Mecca chapters.

In the author's opinion, this deliberate confusion was imposed to make it appear these violent, lustful, greedy, and hateful teachings originated in the earliest days of Islam. It was an attempt to deceive the Islamic masses.

Scrambling the Koran in this manner, took virtually every important doctrine in the Moslem holy book out of the topical and chronological sequence it was originally revealed in by the prophet. As a result, the surviving original revelations of the first and true prophet of Islam(?) revelations which were originally placed in the opening chapters of the Koran and stressed the importance of compassion, forgiveness, religious tolerance, as well as acts of charity, while discussing key doctrines such as heaven, hell, salvation, and the attributes of God, have been moved to the middle or even the back of the massively revised Koran.

At the same time, later revelations that may have been given by an entirely different prophet, and included new, unmistakable, and frightening undertones of violence, lust, greed, and hatred, were moved to the beginning of the Moslem holy book. Again it is the opinion of the author that these extreme actions were done to deceive the Moslem faithful.

Acting under the dictatorial authority granted him as Mohammed's successor, Uthman then issued an edict demanding that every one of the extremely rare written copies of the (originally oral) Koran be returned to the Mosque in Medina. To the shock and dismay of his critics, once his clerical representatives collected these greatly revered manuscripts, Uthman had his soldiers pile the sacred texts atop a stack of dried firewood. Then his men burned them in a hellish bonfire! These extreme actions were done to support the massive changes Uthman was introducing into the Moslem religion.

In so doing, Uthman rendered parts of the surviving Koran into a document that is incomprehensible and confusing, and in many cases in so far as the original teachings of the Ebionite Christian origins of Islam are concerned—completely wrong.

The Great Moslem Sedition

5. Author Dane Dahl is convinced the burning of the competing versions of the Koran was part of an organized treason that began with Mohammed himself and took on real momentum approximately twenty years after the messenger of Islam died; the combined effect of this organized treason amounted to a betrayal that made Judas' act of treachery (when he turned Christ over to his enemies) pale in comparison. In turn, this deliberate unfaithfulness led to a series of multi-generational seditions in which greedy and unscrupulous men hijacked the religion of Islam from the control of Mohammed's blood descendants, as well as from many of its original Ebionite Christian teachings.

Uthman’s bold act of political and literary larceny provoked immediate outrage! Fierce opposition arose, which was headed by the greatly revered Ibn Massoud, a Sahaba (one of the prophet’s original companions who was still living when Uthman was caliph). Ibn Massoud had memorized the earliest version of the oral Koran. He is also credited by Moslem tradition with being the first Moslem to recite the oral Koran in the pagan city of Mecca. In fact Moslem tradition says when Ibn Massoud was a teenager he lived with Mohammed and Khadija the Pure. Later, this venerate man wrote down his own version of the oral Koran, which he received directly from the mouth of the (true?) prophet of Islam. This precious book was one of the extremely rare written Korans which Uthman destroyed in the bonfire.

According to the following website: http://answering-islam.org/Gilchrist/Jam/chap3.html, Ibn Massoud is quoted in Moslem tradition as vehemently objecting: "must I now forsake what I acquired directly from the messenger of Allah?"

(Author's note: This passage is taken from a Moslem Tradition or Hadith, known as Kitab al-Masahif, p.15, which was written into Moslem doctrine by Imam Abu Dawud, approximately two hundred years after Mohammed's death.)

Other Middle Eastern scholars have documented this act of fraud and treachery. Dr. Taha Hussein, a Moslem and twentieth century Egyptian intellectual had the courage to author a book titled, The Great Sedition, which discussed this shameful aspect of Islamic history.

According to the following website: http://media.isnet.org/off/Xislam/USA.chap0703.html Dr. Hussein admitted,"when Ibn Massoud objected to the burning of (his handwritten copy of) the Koran, Uthman (his soldiers) took him out of the mosque with violence and … (beat) him to the ground." (Note: The parenthetical remark and the underlined emphasis was added by historian Dane Dahl in an effort to clarify the text.)

Moslem tradition also admits Ibn Massoud died following that brutal confrontation. After Uthman's thugs assaulted Massoud for objecting to the destruction of the original versions of the Koran, the corrupt Moslem caliph demanded immediate payment of Moslem estate taxes as Massoud lay dying at his feet. According to the following Moslem website: http://wwwthemuslimyouth.com/Companions/abdul_ibn_masoud.htm "Massoud lived up to the time of Othman…The time he was dying, Othman… asked him (perhaps demanded might be the better word) shall I order what you owe us (estate taxes) from your goods." (Note: Othman is another spelling for Uthman, and the parenthetical remarks were added by historian Dane Dahl to clarify the text.)

Uthman’s religious fraud had far reaching consequences. Dr. Taha Hussein, in his book – The Great Sedition wrote: When Uthman banned whatever he banned from the Koran, and burned whichever he burned of it, he banned passages Allah had revealed and burned parts of the Koran that were given to Moslems by the messenger of Allah.

Author’s note: Dr. Taha Hussein was no ordinary 20^th century Moslem intellectual. He served as the Minister of Education for Egypt. He also wrote dozens of books and was awarded the United Nations Prize for his achievements in human rights.

Following the blazing destruction of the competing versions of the Koran, and Uthman’s subsequent attempt to silence his critics with brute force, an armed revolt broke out between Caliph Uthman’s soldiers and a group of determined conservatives, which included the Sahaba, the few surviving original companions of the Prophet. Certain of the family members and blood descendants of Mohammed and Khadija may also have been involved in this rebellion. These reformers sought to restore Islam to its original teachings. In the violence that followed the corrupt Caliph Uthman was assassinated.

According to the Moslem Hadith (Tradition) Al Istaib pg. 80, Dhikr, "Uthman: Three days after the murder, Uthman’s body remained unattended near the rubbish (the town garbage dump) and the Sahaba (those who had been the original companions of the prophet) did not bury him." (Note: The parenthetical remarks were added by historian Dane Dahl to clarify the text.)

http://answering-islam.org/Nehls/tt1/tt3.html “He (Uthman) was assassinated … and not allowed to be buried in the Moslem cemetery. His (favorite?) wife, with some of her friends, buried him by night without ritual washing, listening to the curses of the Arabs, who also pelted stones at them. He was buried in the Jewish cemetery." (Note: The parenthetical remarks were added by historian Dane Dahl to clarify the text.)

Husain, Mohammed and Khadija's only surviving grandson was murdered and beheaded. Yezid his killer, then proclaimed himself the next caliph of all Moslems.

Unfortunately for the peace-loving world, the Moslem conservatives who sought to restore Islam to its original teachings were not successful. They were slaughtered by the combined military coalitions of Uthman’s family members and political appointees.

According to The Life and Religion of Mohammed, by Rev. J.L. Menezes (Roman Catholic Books, 1911) pages 98-99-100 . "Ali… the son-in-law of Mohammed (and the fourth caliph or ruler of all Moslems)… soon raised many enemies by trying to displace the (corrupt) governors appointed by Caliph Othman …(another spelling for Uthman). The most formidable was Muawiya, the governor of Syria. Ali was assassinated… Hasan (Mohammed’s oldest grand son) was… poisoned at the instigation of Muawiya, who afterwards had himself proclaimed as Caliph. (A few years later)…On the death of Muawiya, a party of Kufa invited Husain, (the only surviving grandson of Mohammed)… to become Caliph... a more powerful party favored Yezid, the son of Muawiya …(Yezid led a large military force against Husain and a small group of companions who were traveling to a religious festival). Husain fell (in battle) pierced with 33 wounds. His head was (chopped off and his body and those of his companions were stripped of all valuables and left for the vultures)… the descendants of Muawiya (and his murderous son Yezid)… reigned (over Islam) for fourteen generations." (Note: The underlined words and the parenthetical remarks were added by historian Dane Dahl to clarify the text.)

6. In the coming decades the multi-generational cartel of men who hijacked power from Mohammed and Khadija's blood descendants, hired gangs of paid propaganda writers, to fabricate tens-of-thousands of false Hadith (Moslem religious traditions) which were circulated to mosques throughout the Moslem empire and entered into Islamic doctrine.

Author and historian Dane Dahl believes these venal politicians did this to buttress their right to rule the Moslem empire against competing claims from the descendants of Khadija and Mohammed. According to the following website:

http://www.al-islam.org/khadija/23.htm …Maulana Shibli Numani, the dean of Indian historians of Islam writes in his life of the Prophet, Volume 1. During the reign of caliph Muawiya and the later Umayyad caliphs (14 generations of them) … tens of thousands of Hadith were churned out by Hadith manufacturing factories … ‘Historians’ on the payroll of the government, strung together ‘fact’ after ‘fact’ and incorporated them into their (Moslem) history books. (Note: The parenthetical remarks were added by historian Dane Dahl to clarify the text.)

In spite of this squalid past Moslems pronounce the current version of Islam to be the true faith, and they declare the edited, erased, rewritten, and scrambled-up Koran to be the perfect and divinely inspired word of God! With these remarkable claims in mind, author and historian Dane Dahl has carried out extensive research into the content and structure of the Koran. In doing so he has come to the conclusion that (in its current form) the Koran more closely resembles the work of an illiterate child¾or a simpleton¾than the work of a divinely inspired prophet.

According to the following website, when Moslems talk about the Koran they boast: "The Qur'an is not too difficult to memorize. The entire Qur'an uses a combination of about 2000 words to come up with the magnificent work that it is, being God's word." (Note: The underlined emphasis was added by historian Dane Dahl to clarify the text.)

http://au.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ArFPZcybQ9r6qTi9gDRX5sMjzKIX?qid=20061023072252AAYIKkA&show=7http://au.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ArFPZcybQ9r6qTi9gDRX5sMjzKIX?qid=20061023072252AAYIKkA&show=7

Hmmmm ... a whopping two thousand different words! According to the following medical website:

http://health.allrefer.com/health/development-milestones-record-5-years-info.html

(by the age of)… 5 years…(a child's) vocabulary has increased to over 2100 words. (Note: The parenthetical remarks and underlined words were added by historian Dane Dahl to clarify the text.)

Labeling the Koran's feeble two thousand word vocabulary a "magnificent work," ignores the fact that the working vocabulary of an illiterate five-year old child could be larger in size than the vocabulary of the entire written Koran!

The limited range of words used in the rewritten and heavily revised Koran is important, because in changing it, the author asserts the Koran was dumbed-down to such an extent that significant parts of it have become confused, meaningless, and even false. Regardless of what critics say about the Bible, the fact remains that the Bible contains a vocabulary that is approximately six times larger than the simplistic language used in the written Koran! According to the following website:

http://www.languagemonitor.com/wst_page7.html (There are)… actually 12,143 (different words) in the (Bible). (Note: The parenthetical remarks were added by historian Dane Dahl to clarify the text.)

Each word of the much larger vocabulary in the Bible is necessary, because of the abstract and complex nature of the material the scripture attempts to deal with. In the future, should some corrupt and all-powerful political leader compel a rewriting of the Bible, even without trying to deliberately falsify it¾merely using the childish two thousand word vocabulary of the Moslem holy book, would go a long way toward making the Christian Bible as incomprehensible and textually wrong¾in so far as its original message is concerned¾as the current written version of the Koran is.

Women and Islam

Question: How many women are named by name in the Koran?

Answer: Only one! According to the following academic website: http://campus.udayton.edu/mary//maryecumen1.html "Mary (the mother of Jesus) is … the only woman mentioned by name in the Koran."

Question: How many women are named by name in the Bible?

Answer: More than 150! The author researched the following website: http://www.complete-bible-genealogy.com/names/starting_a.html, and found an extensive list of more than 150 female biblical characters named by name in the Bible. The individual women identified in this database are clearly labeled by the word “female” and the book, chapter, and verse displaying their information is cited for reference.

Question: Why is the Virgin Mary the only woman mentioned by name in the Koran?

Answer: Author and historian Dane Dahl believes there were originally many others but they were erased by Caliph Uthman and his successors.

In spite of the exaggerated Moslem boasting concerning the spiritual holiness women like Khadija and others have displayed throughout human history, Moslem doctrine says women (all women including Khadiha the Pure) can never be perfect: therefore they can never be prophets! The following Moslem website says:

http://www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satellite?cid=1123996016712&pagename=IslamOnline-English-AAbout_Islam/AskAboutIslamE/AskAboutIslamE ;

1. " . . . a prophet is a “perfect” being, while women … could never be perfect … Imam Ibn Kathir Tafseer Ibn Katheer, Vol. 2, page 497.

2. Imam Al-Shawkani even said there is a consensus (ijma) among scholars over that opinion (that women can never be perfect) in his Fath Al-Qadeer, Vol. 4, page 159." (Note: The parenthetical remarks and underlined emphasis were added by historian Dane Dahl to clarify the text.)

Moslems believe the Virgin Mary is the only woman in all of human history who was not touched by the devil! According to the following academic website: http://campus.udayton.edu/mary/questions/yq2/yq381.html Mary is presented in the Koran as "the only woman who has not been touched by the devil."

And the author has discovered something even more disturbing. Moslem doctrine that is not based on the Koran, but is based on highly questionable tradition that arose more than two centuries after Mohammed's death says …women should never be in charge of men! According to the following Moslem website: http://www.bakkah.net/articles/Moslem-women-leading-prayers2.htm "Mohammed said, … A people who place a woman in charge of them will never succeed … Sahih al-Bukhari #4425."

Honor Killings and Moslem women

According to the following website: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2002/02/0212_020212_honorkilling.html

Each year, ". . .Thousands of Women Killed for Family Honor. . ."

". . . In countries where Islam is practiced, they're called honor killings . . ."

Women and Moslem Marriage

In spite of the spiritual wickedness Islam accuses women of, the Moslem religion allows Moslem men (and men only) the right to take up to four wives at once. Koran, chapter 4, verse 3: "... of other women who seem good in your eyes, marry but two, or three, or four." (Author's note: In correct chronological order, this is actually the 100^th chapter and was orally revealed by Mohammed AFTER Khadija’s death.)

However, allowing Moslem men four wives, is not the worst of it. Page 57 of The Life and Religion of Mohammed, by J.L. Menezes says "(In reality)... this number (four wives) is unlimited because the Koran in the same chapter allows men an almost unchecked power of divorce and exchange."

There is more. The following academic website, http://www.library.cornell.edu/colldev/mideast/tmpmrig.htm documents the fact that the Shia denomination of Islam (the fastest growing Moslem sect) allows a particularly abusive form of marriage, in which men take as many wives as they want. Potentially, the total could reach into the hundreds! This cruel institution is called 'Mut'a' or Temporary Marriage. And don't let the word temporary fool you. Temporary Marriage can last from any length of time the man chooses, from two hours up to ninety-nine years!

In Mohammed's case, he wasn't content to simply marry a large number of women. The messenger of Islam even married a little child named Ayesha. According to Moslem tradition ibn-e-Majah, Volume 1, p.526 Ayesha says, "I was six years old when the prophet married me ..."

In fact, another Moslem tradition, Sahih Muslim vol.4:5981 p.1299 references the fact that when Mohammed married, Ayesha, she was so young the little girl still played with dolls. "Aisha played with dolls while Mohammed was present."

http://www.melbourne.indymedia.org/news/2007/01/135527_comment.php

On a more ominous note, the same tradition says Ayesha developed a serious illness after Mohammed married her. "I caught fever. My hair fell off, and I became clean-headed." http://www.investigateislam.com/prophetic_attitude_towards_fair.htm Author's note: Perhaps this illness is why Ayesha never had children by Mohammed. Perhaps the disease Mohammed gave Ayesha made her sterile.

Khadija the Pure

Khadija the Pure running her trading company

Who was Khadija the Pure?

And what role did she play in the creation of Islam?

Mohammed’s first wife was called Khadija the Pure. Mohammed and Khadija were married for twenty-four years and the following website says: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khadija, "Although the society in which Khadija was born was a terribly male chauvinistic one, Khadija earned two titles: Khadija the Ameerat-Quraish (Princess of Quraish) and al-Tahira (the Pure One)."

"Before Khadija asked Mohammed to marry her, she was sought for marriage by many honorable and highly respected men of the Arabian Peninsula throughout which she was quite famous due to her business dealings."

Author’s note: Khadija owned a large trading company and was considered to be extremely wealthy. In fact Mohammed was originally her employee. He worked for Khadija and eventually became her business manager and mouthpiece in the male-dominant Arabian world of commerce and trading.

Mohammed married Khadija in a a sexually monogamous Christian wedding ceremony. During the twenty-four years of their marriage, she was Mohammed's only wife. According to the following website: www.copticchurch.org/Presentations/Islam%20unveiled.PPT (Bishop Waraka, Khadija’s cousin) "Waraka was the one ordaining the marriage…it was a Christian monogamy marriage."

Bishop Waraka (the cousin of Khadija the Pure) translated the Bible into Arabic. According to the following Moslem website: http://www.khadija.ca/page.php?3

"Waraqah ibn Nawfal, one of Khadija’s cousins had embraced Christianity… He reportedly had translated the Bible from Hebrew to Arabic."

Moslem Traditions which are called the Hadith and are given equal importance with the Koran declare Khadija to be one of the four holiest women in all of human history. According to the following website, http://al.islam.org/khadija/17.htm "In the entire history of the world, there have been only four women who could measure up to the high standards of …perfection set by Islam … They are: 1. Asiya the wife ofPharoah 2. Maryam the mother of Isa (Jesus) 3. Khadija the (first) wife of Muhammad . . ." (Note: The parenthetical remark and underlined words were added by historian Dane Dahl to clarify the text.)

Moslem tradition also boasts that Khadija the Pure’s vast wealth created the original Islamic religion. According to the following Moslem website: http://islamforlife2006.jeeran.com/ "Islam did not arise except through … Khadija’s wealth."

And last of all, Moslem tradition boasts that Khadija gave her vast wealth away, and died destitute.

· According to the following Moslem website: http://www.suite101.com/article.cfm/islam_in_the_us/32518 "Khadija was a kind hearted, giving woman known to frequently assist the poor and the needy."

· According to the following Moslem website: http://www.al-islam.org/biographies/khadija.htm "It is reported that by the time she died, her entire wealth had already been spent to promote Islam; she did not have a single gold dinar nor a single silver dirham."

Question: If Khadija did all of these wonderful things, why is her name not found anywhere in the Koran?

Answer: Author and historian Dane Dahl believes Khadija's name was erased, along with the names of a lot of other women.

Unfortunately for the peace and well-being of the entire world, not to mention the half of humanity who happen to be female, the rewritten text of the present-day Koran makes it clear the hatefulness militant Moslems direct against women, has historical underpinnings that are much more terrible than simply wishing to degrade and subjugage them.

Sex slave image from The Pox of Mohammed

Thoughts on modern day sex slavery: The United Nations estimates that four million people are trafficked into slavery each year! Women living in extreme poverty are lied to by traffickers, who give them false promises of prosperity in a new country with a new job. Instead of the promised wealth, these girls, sometimes as young as 13, become sexual slaves, indentured to the traffickers until they can pay off the debts put up for their travels.

"Organized crime has … fronts such as hotel chains and travel agencies …Women … are promised food, high-paying jobs and marriage. Instead, they are raped and forced into prostitution." http://www.american.edu/traccc/events/reports/september98.html

(U.S. Department of Justice report) "According to estimates from the United Nations, one quarter of the four million victims trafficked each year are exploited in sex industries. In the last decade, hundreds of thousands of women have been trafficked from Central and Eastern Europe and the republics of the former Soviet Union into prostitution throughout the world." http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/nij/international/programs/ukrainetraf_finalreport.pdf

Human trafficking is now the third most profitable activity for international criminal gangs, according to the (U.N.) convention,

http://www.infoplease.com/spot/00organizedcrime1.html

Organized crime also uses "boot camps" for stolen prostitutes. A website operated by a national feminist organization, documents the existence of such facilities. http://www.dullesnow.org/slavery.html

"... traffickers break the women's will by bringing them in bunches to a 'show murder' of a woman who refuses to work. Some are sent to a training camp ... where… traffickers make them have sex with 50 to 100 men a night, until they are totally broken." (Note: The underlined emphasis was added by historian Dane Dahl to clarify the text.)

An actual interview with a former sex slave who was rescued from sexual bondage in an Eastern European brothel is documented in the following website: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3071966/

. . . Natasha estimates she was forced to sleep with more than 1,000 men during her nine months in Velesta. Besides the Albanians and Macedonians, there were men from “France, Germany, and the United States,” Natasha said, referring to soldiers from the NATO peacekeeping mission in Macedonia and nearby Kosovo . . .

According to the U.S. Aid Agency, even in the twenty-first century, women in fanatical Moslem countries like Sudan, are victims of horrendous sexual violence.

http://www.usaid.gov/our_work/cross-cutting_programs/wid/pubs/natsios_antiviolence_stmt.pdf ". . .women continue to suffer from an appalling number of rapes and other forms of sexual violence, branding, maiming. . ."

Modern day sex slavery and Israel:

The only functoning democracy in the Middle East and one of America’s staunchest allies.

According to the following website: http://web.amnesty.org/library/Index/engMDE150172000 "In Israel prior to March 2000, crimes such as slavery and the buying and selling of (women) were not criminal offences."

A Moslem checking a sex slave's mouth and teeth

Sex slavery in Albania the only Moslem country in Europe

In Europe the Albanian mafia has become a key player in the criminal plague of human trafficking. http://europa.eu.int/comm/justice_home/news/8mars_en.htm#al

The Albanian mafia is expanding its range of operation.

According to the on-line news organization The Free Republic, http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a390646772.aff.htm (in Italy) "the Albanians have taken the prostitution racket away from the country’s toughest Mafia branch, the Nerangheta."

First Europe――Then America...

According to the following website, the Albanian mafia threatens to become the most dangerous crime organization in the United States: http://www.cnn.com/2004/LAW/08/18/albanians.mob/

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Thousands of Albanians and others who fled the Balkans for the United States in recent years have emerged as a serious organized crime problem, threatening to displace La Cosa Nostra (LCN) families as kingpins of U.S. crime, top FBI officials said Wednesday.

Moslem Law and sex slavery: (Sharia is the Arab word for Moslem Law which is based on Mohammed's sayings in the Koran and the Hadith.) On the day in question, the topic at the mosque was looting and sex slavery. A crowd of men filled the house of worship when Mohammed said:

Chapter 8, Verse 41 of the Koran "of all the loot you seize from non-Moslems, 20% belongs to Mohammed." (Loot included sex slaves. Also, in correct chronological order, this is actually the 95^th chapter.)

Chapter 33, Verse 50 of The Koran: “we have made it legal … for you to take as wives ... those women whom your right hand possesses … whom Allah has given you as booty.” (The terrible words: "women whom your right hand possesses," are Moslem code words for kidnapped female sex slaves. Also, in correct chronological order, this is actually the 100^th chapter.)

Women whom your right hand possesses...

Sex slavery and modern Saudi Arabia: The cradle of Islam.

According to the following website: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_in_Saudi_Arabia "...the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has enforced strict Sharia religious laws … Many western freedoms as described in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights do not exist … Saudi Arabia has come under fire for … torture …and (its) attitude towards … women … In 1962, Saudi Arabia (finally) outlawed slavery ...(but as of) 2005 Saudi Arabia was designated by the United States Department of State, as a Tier 3 country with respect to trafficking in human beings … Tier 3 countries are, “Countries whose governments do not fully comply with the minimum standards and are not making significant efforts to do so.” (Note: The parenthetical remarks and underlined emphasis were added by historian Dane Dahl to clarify the text.)

There are many fundamentalist African Islamic nations who also use primitive Sharia (Moslem law) as the basis of their legal code, including but not limited to: Sudan, Mali, Maruitania, Chad, Morocco, and parts of Nigeria.

This is important, because according to the following BBC News website: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/2942964.stm

"More than 11,000 people have been abducted in 20 years of slave-raiding in Sudan."

An on-line encyclopedia article says, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_Sudan "... Christian Solidarity International claims that there are 200,000 slaves in Sudan ..."

An actual case study of modern sex slavery in fundamentalist Moslem areas like Sudan.

According to the following website,

http://www.boston.com/news/globe/editorial_opinion/oped/articles/2006/02/22/eradicating_slavery_in_sudan "Abuk Atere was a young childless woman when she was captured and enslaved … by an Arab militia backed by Sudan’s government … Her master Mohammed El Nur, raped her, called her “slave,” and forced her to convert to Islam."

(Author’s note this young woman was forced to bear four children for this Moslem criminal.)

Safiya

Mohammed choosing the grief-stricken Safiyah

After attacking and looting the Jewish city of Khaibar, Mohammed compelled a beautiful and grieving teenage girl named Safiyah to become his sex-slave bride. At the time the captive was mute with shock and grief. According to the Moslem website www.islamonline.com (note, enter Safiyah in the search box to bring up the article) "… two women were brought before the prophet … they had passed by those … killed in the battle … The (one) who was mute with shock was Safiyah … whose husband (and other family members) had been killed ..."(by Mohammed’s followers). (Note: The parenthetical remarks were added by historian Dane Dahl to clarify the text.)

One of Mohammed’s bodyguards witnessed Mohammed raping the beautiful and grieving Safiyah. http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/Forum10/HTML/000678.html "Ayyub al-Ansari (Mohammed’s bodyguard) guarded the tent of the prophet the whole night … (While Mohammed forced his lust upon his newest sex slave. The next morning Ayyub al-Ansari told Mohammed) 'I was afraid for you with this young lady. You killed her father, her husband and many of her relatives … I was really afraid for you on her account .'" (Note: The parenthetical remarks were added by historian Dane Dahl to clarify the text.)

Yet militant Moslem propaganda is hateful enough to boast this heart-broken sex slave grew to love Mohammed! According to the Moslem website: http://islamonline.com/cg-bin/news_service/profile_storyasp?service_id=1154 "She (Safiyah) was known for her extreme beauty … She did not only love Prophet … Mohammed deeply, but also greatly respected him as Allah’s Messenger … She was honored and given great respect in the Moslem community."

In the author's opinion, such boasting is cruel and ludicrous, especially when taken in the context of the historical record.

You've heard about Moslem Suicide Bombers.

How about Moslem Suicide Brides?

Author and historian Dane Dahl believes two other women who were forced into marriage with Mohammed, experienced such emotional torment, they may have committed suicide! According to the following website: http://www.Moslemhope.com/WhyDidMohammedGetSoManyWives.htm

…(1) al-Nasha bint Rifa’ah… she died before the prophet consummated his marriage with her. . .

…(2) Qutaylah bint Qays … died before they consummated the marriage. . .

Author’s note: These “brides” were probably between the ages of 14 and 19 years of age, and were pretty enough to catch the lecherous eye of Mohammed. It is possible these women had already fallen in love with young men their own age. Because of their health and youthfulness it is highly unlikely that they simply dropped dead on the eve of their (forced?) weddings. The mysterious circumstances of their deaths leave only murder or suicide as probable causes of death.

Another of Mohammed’s sex slaves (a woman named Zainab Bint al-Harith) tried to poison the messenger of Islam in revenge for murdering her family. According to the following Moslem website, www.allaahuakbar.net "After the conquest (looting and enslavement) of Khaibar, a Jewish woman called Zaiban bint Al-Harith offered the Prophet a roasted sheep she had poisoned… The prophet ordered that she be killed when (his bodyguard-food taster) Bishr bin Al-Bara died of that poison." (Note: The parenthetical remark was added by historian Dane Dahl to clarify the text.)

When confronted by the wrathful Mohammed, Zainab said, "You killed my father, my uncle and my brother." wwwjihadwatch.org

Lat, Uzza, and Manat

Three female angels from the (original) Satanic Verses of Islam

What are the (original) Satanic Verses of Islam?

The (original) Satanic Verses discussed three female angels of Islam that were given great respect in the earliest days of the religion. The phrase was coined by a 19^th Century Islamic scholar named Sir William Muir, who wrote about the feeble excuse Mohammed gave when he removed the verses talking about these divine females from the Koran.

According to the following website: http://www.bible.ca/islam/islam-allahs-daughters.htm The Moslem historian al-Tabari, (Annals 1.1192-1193 = Tabari vi: 108-109) said these words used to appear in verses 19-22 of the 53rd Chapter of the Koran (which is actually the 46^th chapter in correct chronological order). "Have ye seen Lat and Uzza, And another, the third (angel), Manat? These are the exalted cranes whose intercession is to be hoped for." (Note: historian Dane Dahl provided the parenthetical remark and underlined emphasis to clarify the text.)

At the time Lat, Uzza, and Manat emerged in Moslem doctrine, the early Catholic church was teaching the Christian faithful to pray to the saints, the Virgin Mary, and the angels for divine intercession. The first Moslems were taught to view these three females as high-level angelic beings, that flew in the heavens and watched over the affairs of men. These females served as intermediaries between mankind and God. The mental imagery in these four Koran verses empowered women, and it is no accident that all of these verses were originally revealed to the Islamic faithful while Khadija the Pure was alive and living in Mecca. (The Mecca chapters). Only after the death of this holy woman, did Mohammed work up the nerve to declare these four verses to be the discredited Satanic Verses of Islam.

This precipitous act was done after the woman who may have been the first and real prophet of Islam died. In Khadija’s absence, Mohammed began introducing murder, hatred, war, slavery, looting as well as the complete subjugation of women into Islamic teachings.

Mohammed did this by proclaiming that (while Khadija was still alive) the Devil came to him and deceived him into uttering these words about Lat, Uzza, and Manat. As a result, following her death the three female angels of Islam were removed from all Moslem teachings. In the same time period, the status of women was reduced to little more than property: Something that could be bought, sold, or stolen against the will of the women.

John the Baptist

John the Baptist: An Ebionite Evangelist

Who were the Ebionite Christians

and why were they so important to Islam?

Most Ebionites were Jews who considered themselves to be the direct disciples of Jesus and John the Baptist. According to the following website: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebionite - "(The) Ebyonim, (an Aramaic word meaning) "the Poor Ones"… (an) early sect of mostly Jewish disciples of Jesus the Nazarene, and possibly, to a lesser extent, John the Baptist." (Note: The underlined emphasis and parenthetical remarks were added by historian Dane Dahl to clarify the text.)

An Ebionite Bishop named Waraka married Mohammed and Khadija (his first and only wife for twenty-four years) in a monogamous Christian wedding ceremony. According to the following website: www.copticchurch.org/Presentations/Islam%20unveiled.PPT "(Bishop Waraka was Khadija’s cousin.) Waraka was the one ordaining the marriage … it was a Christian monogamy marriage." (Note: The underlined emphasis was added by historian Dane Dahl to clarify the text.)

Bishop Waraka was also Khadija’s cousin. He translated the Bible into Arabic. According to the following website: http://www.khadija.ca/news.php Author’s note: When this site opens, select history and enter: http://www.khadija.ca/page.php?3

"Warakah ibn Nawfal, one of Khadija’s cousins had embraced Christianity … He reportedly had translated the Bible from Hebrew to Arabic."

The Ebionite Christians practiced all of Christ's teachings, including the ones commanding them to display love and forgiveness. Even to their enemies!

Scattered communities of Christians lived in pre-Islamic Arabia, and the Ebionites were part of that population. According to the following website: http://www.ccel.org/s/schaff/history/4_ch03.htm (Philip Schaff’s History of the Christian Church, 1910, Vol. 4) (In Arabia) "The Christians belonged mostly to the various heretical sects which were expelled from the Roman empire during the violent doctrinal controversies of the fourth and fifth centuries. We find there traces of Arians, Sabellians, Ebionites, Nestorians, Eutychians, Monophysites, Marianites, and Collyridians or worshippers of Mary."

The Ebionites are mentioned in the Dead Sea Scrolls. According to the following website: http://en.wikipedia.org.wiki/Ebionites "...the self same identification appears in several religious texts, such as the Dead Sea scrolls …"

In addition to practicing Christ's teachings and commandments, the Ebionite Christians were strict vegetarians; they believed the Apostle Paul to be a heretic. According to the following website: http://www.auburn.edu/~allenkc/jud-chr.html "They (the Ebionites) abhorred the slaughter of animals and practiced vegetarianism. The Ebionites opposed the positions of Paul, a Nazarene Jewish heretical believer in Jesus, who promoted the elimination of much Jewish law for the sake of Gentile conversions." Note: the parenthetical remark was added by historian Dane Dahl to clarify the text.)

Also according to the following academic website, the earliest form of Islam was Ebionite. http://www.auburn.edu/allenkc.jud-chr.html "...the religion that Mohammed founded at the beginning of his public activity was very Ebionite." (Underlined emphasis was added by historian Dane Dahl to clarify the text.)

In short, the Ebionites were important to Islam because their faith was the religion Mohammed's first wife (and Mohammed himelf?) practiced; it became the foundation Islam was built upon. These factors, have convinced the author the first and real prophet of Islam may have been Mohammed's wife Khadija: a devout Christian Ebionite, whom Moslem tradition declares to have been a wealthy and influential Arab princess, and one of the four holiest women in human history!

The Roman Persecution of Christians

Who were the Gnostic Christians?

Gnostic Christians were plentiful in the second century A.D. and significant numbers of them were murdered by the Romans in systematic anti-Christian persecutions like the one portrayed in this painting. Gnostic Christian believers were common throughout the Middle East, extending from Persia to Egypt in the east, to Europe in the west. Long before it became fashionable or even good for one's health to be a Christian, a prominant theologian named Valentius was once considered for the position of Bishop of Rome! Valentius was a Gnostic Christian. http://www.referenceencyclopedia.com/?title=Valentinius

According to another website, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnosticism#Major_Gnostic_movements_and_their_texts

Gnostic Christians were influenced by Zoroastrian traditions from Persia (Persia is modern day Iran).

Author's note: Gnostics believed humans to be previously existing souls, who had become trapped in a cruel material world, created by an imperfect spirit being sometimes called the Demiurge. Gnostic Christians identified the Demiurge with Satan and considered him to be the same blood-thirsty god who appeared the Jewish Old Testament. Interestingly enough, the three Magi who came and worshiped the baby Jesus were believed to be Zoroastrians, who converted to Gnostic Christianity.

Gnostic Christian communities such as the Arians and Gnostic Ebionites living in Arabia during the final thirteen years of Mohammed's life, would have immediately recognized Allah as another manifestation of the (blood-thirsty) god of the Jewish Old Testament. As such they would have refused to convert to Islam, even though it meant they would all be enslaved or killed.

Archaeology and Mohammed

Question: Is there any archaeological evidence from the time Mohammed was alive, actually identifying him as a prophet?

Answer: No! According to the following website: http://www.islamicity.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=327 "there is no archeological evidence dated at the time when Mohammed was alive by way of artifacts, manuscripts or inscriptions… where Muhammad is actually referred to as a prophet."

Question: What is the oldest known record of Mohammed?

Answer: According to the academic work: Crossroads to Islam, published 2003, by Yahuda D. Nevo, (Archaeologist and professor of Arabic literature at Hebrew University) Pg. 247 "Muhammad … makes his first dated public appearance with the words Muhammad rasūl Allâh (Mohammed the messenger of god) … struck (on a coin) in Damascus in 690-91." (This was approximately six decades after Mohammed's death!) Note: The parenthetical remarks were added by historian Dane Dahl to clarify the text.)

Question: Prior to 691A.D. instead of calling him a messenger (and not a prophet) did Mohammed's contemporaries also identify him only in terms of his role as the first king of the Arabs? Answer: Yes. According to Yahuda Nevo's book, Pg.129-130 “James ... bishop of Edessa (Syria) 684-688 composed a set of chronological charts… there is an entry… (622 C.E.) “Muhammad the first king of Arabia began to reign." (Note: The parenthetical remark and underlined words were added by Dane Dahl to clarify the text.)

The historical record is significant,because it supports the author's contention that in the earliest days of Islam someone other than Mohammed was recognized as the first and real prophet of Islam. The author believes that person was Khadija the Pure. In the early days of the Moslem religion, Mohammed was still employed as Khadija's business agent and mouth piece. So, after fifteen years of marriage, Khadija also began using the man she loved and trusted, not only as the spokesperson for her trading company, but also as the spokesperson (the messenger) for her spiritual revelations to the Moslem faithful.

Did you know Mohammed died of a terrible, mysterious illness―just like his first wife Khadija did?

Reputable Moslem scholars who have examined the body of Hadith concerning Mohammed's death have published some startling findings. The following website:

http://www.witness-pioneer.org/vil/Books/MH_LM/prophets_sickness_and_death.htm

quotes the work of Muhammad Husayn Huykal (1888-1956). This man was another minister of Education in Egypt. He was awarded a Juris Doctorate from Sorbonne University in 1912. According to his work, The Life of Muhammed, published in 1933, Dr. Huykal said, ". . . His (Mohammed's) fever increased in the first days of his sickness so that he felt as if he were on fire . . ."

". . . One day he asked his wives and servants to pour on him seven goatskins of water from various wells. The water was brought from different wells as he commanded and poured over him as he sat in a tub belonging to Hafsah. He then put on his clothes, wrapped his head, and went to the mosque . . ."

". . . Members of the Prophet's household saw fit at this stage to give him some medicine . . .When he came back to himself, he asked who had given him the medicine and why. His uncle, al `Abbas, explained that they had prepared it and given it to him because they feared he had pleurisy. The Prophet said, "That (pleurisy) is a disease, which God would not inflict upon me . . ."

". . .After this, the Prophet's sickness and pain increased. His fever was so high that it could be felt by his wives and servants upon touching the blankets which covered him . . ."

". . . The same reports also tell that as the agonies of death became stronger, the Prophet turned to God in prayer saying: "0, God, help me overcome the agonies of death." `A'ishah reported that his head was in her lap during the last hour. She said, "The Prophet's head was getting heavier in my lap. I looked at his face and found that his eyes had become fixed . . . The Prophet of God expired . . ."

With this horrible death in mind, is it any wonder that pious and superstitious Arabs who were not part of the privileged ruling elite in Medina would see Mohammed's demise as evidence of divine retribution for betraying the original beliefs of Khadija the Pure? In the author's opinion, it is no coincidence that another female prophet soon burst on the scene. Her name was Sajah al-Tamimiyyah.

By a fluke of history, one surviving historical record escaped the brutal campaign of censorship designed to eliminate this godly woman and other anonymous females like her (including Khadija the Pure) from Moslem history. The brave Moslem historian who wrote about Sajah al-Timimiyyah was named Sayd ibn Umar al Tamimi. Sayd ibm Umar was an eighth century Moslem historian who is widely quoted by later influential Moslem historians such as al-Tabari. Sayd ibn Umar is highly authoritative on topics of Moslem history extending from the Riddah Wars to the Battle of Suffin. Historian Sayd ibm Umar clearly identified Sajah as a prophetess.

Mohammed and the angel Gabriel

Question: Does the Koran actually say it was the angel Gabriel who appeared to Mohammed?

Answer: No!!!! It simply says a majestic being appeared to Mohammed. This is important, because longstanding Christian teachings that Khadija and Mohammed would have been familiar with say Satan can appear as a beautiful and majestic angel of light. In fact, the entire Moslem faith is based on the premise that the majestic being who came to Mohammed, was the angel Gabriel and not Satan. According to the following Moslem website: http://www.centerce.org/ISLAM/Islamic%20Beginnings.htm

"About 610 CE, as he reflected on such matters, Muhammad had a vision of a majestic being, later identified with the angel Gabriel."

In fact, it was approximately two hundred years later before Moslem tradition finally identified the majestic being as the angel Gabriel.

Paradise: A Moslem martyr with some of his seventy-two virgins?

Terrorism and the 72 virgins of Islam

Prior to writing his historical fiction novel, Dane Dahl conducted extensive research into the topic: Terrorism and the 72 virgins of Islam. His startling findings are discussed in detail in The Pox of Mohammed. The following is a brief preview of some Dane Dahl's conclusions.

Question: Does the Koran promise 70 or 72* virgins for each terrorist who dies while murdering non-Moslems?

Answer: "Absolutely not!   The massively edited and rewritten Koran does talk about the rewards righteous men will receive in Heaven; but nowhere does the Koran promise that any person, male or female, whether their soul be righteous or wicked will receive either 70 or 72 virgins as a reward for their deeds.

*The numbers 70 or 72 depend on which Moslem tradition you choose to quote from—questionable Moslem traditions that arose approximately two centuries after Mohammed died.

Interestingly enough, the rewards righteous women will receive are not discussed in the Koran. The only references to females in heaven the author has been able to find, involve the Virgin Mary and certain female creatures called the Houris. The Houris are believed to be the Virgins of Paradise. The Koran says the Houris will accompany the Moslem men in parties featuring heavenly wine. Moslem doctrine published in the Hadith and expounded upon by generations of imams and mullahs is unclear about what happens to the loyal, affectionate women these Moslem men were formerly married to, except for declaring them "touched by devil!"

Author and historian Dane Dahl believes verses detailing specific rewards for righteous women were originally included in the Koran, but they were erased―along with a lot of female names, beginning with Khadija the Pure: the one woman the successors to Mohammed viewed as the greatest threat to the lustful and cruel plans they had for humanity.

Because of this massive and deliberate editing, the presend-day Koran is silent on the status of righteous women in paradise. If the reader does not want to rely on highly suspect Moslem traditions that came along decades, even centuries after Mohammed's death, it is necessary to draw your own conclusions about the eternal rewards given righteous Moslem women.

What the edited, erased, rewritten, and scrambled-up Koran really does say about the pious Moslems (men only?) who enter Heaven.

"the pious shall have … Gardens of Eden … open to them …Therein reclining, they shall … call for… fruit and drink: And with them shall be virgins of their own age, with modest retiring glances." The Koran, Chapter 38 verses 50-52 (This Chapter was written while Khadija was alive and living in Mecca. In correct chronological order, this is actually the 59^th chapter)

"the sincere servants of God! A … banquet shall they have … In the gardens of delight, Upon couches fact to face. A cup (of heavenly wine) shall be borne round … from a fountain, limpid, delicious … It shall not oppress the senses, nor shall they be made drunken. And with them are the large- eyed ones with modest restraining glances."     The Koran, Chapter 37 verses 40-47 (This Chapter was written while Khadija was alive and living in Mecca. In correct chronological order, it is actually the 50^th chapter)

"Then the people of the right hand*… These are they who will be brought nigh to God … In gardens of delight …Reclining … face to face … blooming youths go round about to them with goblets … of flowing wine … And they shall be the Houris with large dark eyes… And we have made them ever virgins, Dear to their (husbands) of equal age with them."    The Koran, Chapter 56, verses 8-37 (This Chapter was written while Khadija was alive and living in Mecca. In correct chronological order, it is actually the 45^th chapter)

* Author’s note: The expression "People of the right hand" is very old in origin and came from Judeo-Christian teachings; it refers to the righteous at the Last Judgment. In the final years of Mohammed's life, when he mouthed the Real Satanic Verses of Islam, Mohammed introduced another expression: Women whom your right hand possesses.  When he did this, the second prophet of Islam was not talking about the righteous, but rather Moslem sex slaves.

A point-by-point comparison of Jesus' teachings in the Bible―versus Mohammed's teachings in the Medina Chapters of the Koran

Jesus taught his followers love and forgiveness

...I give you a new commandment ... love one another as I have loved you ... John chapter 13 verse 34

...You shall love ... your neighbor as yourself ... Luke chapter 10 verse 27

...love is of God; and every one that loves is born of God, and knows God ... 1st John chapter 4 verse 7

He that does not love, does not know God, for God is love ... 1st John chapter 4 verse 8

Love your enemies ... do good to them that hate you ... Luke chapter 6 verse 27

Bless them that curse you ... Luke chapter 6 verse 28

If someone hits you, turn the other cheek ... Luke chapter 6 verse 29

If you forgive men for the wrongs they commit against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you for your wrongs ... Matthew chapter 6 verse 14

Even when Christ was dying on the cross, one of the last things he said was ... Father forgive them. For they don't know what they are doing ... Luke chapter 23 verse 34



Did Mohammed teach his followers love and forgiveness?



Not after Khadija died! Read the following and see for yourself. This list is a partial itemization of the teachings Mohammed gave his followers, AFTER his first wife had died and was no longer around to control his wicked tendencies.

When these verses were revealed, Mohammed was living with an entire harem of women in the conquered city of Medina. The author believes some of those harem wives were kidnapped sex slaves. The teachings Mohammed uttered in this phase of his life are very different than anything that came from the earlier days of Islam―when Mohammed was still married to his one and only wife of twenty-four years, Khadija the Princess―otherwise known to Moslems as Khadija the Pure.

The quoted verses are taken from public domain translations of the Koran.

------------------------------------------------------------

In conclusion:

The Real Satanic Verses of Islam are still in the Koran. These verses were deliberately added to the Koran, when other teachings that were gentler and kinder―were discredited or even erased. These hateful, supplemental teachings advocate: political deception, murder,  sexual slavery, looting, and terror, as well as the complete subjugation of women.

In the opinion of author and historian Dane Dahl, The Real Satanic Verses of Islam play a dominant role in the thought processes of the minority of Moslems worldwide who declare themselves to be militant.

Prior to writing his novel, author and historian Dane Dahl arrived at this alarming conclusion after conducting extensive research into Islam, the Koran, and the massive body of Moslem religious tradition known as the Hadith. This brief Internet article titled The Moslem Institute discusses some of the highlights of his research. However, there is a considerable body of material that has been omitted from this free online article; some of it is significant. The omitted material is discussed in detail in various chapters of the historical fiction novel The Pox of Mohammed.
