THE QURAN IS NOT AS INCLUSIVE AS YOU MAY THINK

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

"The example of those who disbelieve is like that of one who shouts at what hears nothing but calls and cries [i.e., cattle or sheep] - deaf, dumb and blind, so they do not understand."

Quran 2:171; similar: 7:176; 7:179; 8:21-22; 8:55

(Sahih International translation)

Degrading those who disagree with Islamic religious dogmas helps the cult to stay in ignorance of the valid arguments of the opposing factions and to have no pity if they're exterminated.

 

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

 

"Do not marry polytheistic women until they believe. And a believing slave woman is better than a polytheist, even though she might please you."

Quran 2:221

(Sahih International translation)

 

Islam ranks people based on gender, religion, and slavedom. Free male Muslim is at the top of the chain, slave non-muslim female is at the very bottom somewhere near livestock.

 

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

 

"The disbelievers - they are the wrongdoers."

Quran 2:254

(Sahih International translation)

 

Putting generalized labels is what Quran does very well.

 

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

 

"Believers should not take disbelievers as guardians instead of the believers"

Quran 3:28; similar: 58:14-15; 60:1; 60:13

(translated by Dr. Mustafa Khattab)

 

Don't befriend non-Muslims.

 

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

 

"Only believe those who follow your religion."

Quran 3:73

(translated by Dr. Mustafa Khattab)

 

Because Allah needs to be protected from opposing views.

 

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

"Whoever seeks a way other than Islam, it will never be accepted from them, and in the Hereafter they will be among the losers."

Quran 3:85; similar: 3:110

(translated by Dr. Mustafa Khattab)

 

Contrary to a popular opinion among Muslims, Quran and its god condemns all non-Muslims, including Christians.

 

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

 

"The disbelievers are ever to you a clear enemy."

Quran 4:101

(Sahih International translation)

 

Allah is good at logical fallacies of generalization and repeats them over and over.

 

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

"When you hear Allah’s revelations being denied or ridiculed, then do not sit in that company unless they engage in a different topic"

Quran 4:140, similar: 6:68

(translated by Dr. Mustafa Khattab)

 

Allah can't prove deniers wrong, so he tries to save his face by telling you to avoid exposure to other opinions.

 

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

"O believers! Do not take disbelievers as allies instead of the believers."

Quran 4:144

(translated by Dr. Mustafa Khattab)

 

So that you never hear about Quran's flaws.

 

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

"Indeed, those who say, 'Allah is the Messiah, son of Mary,' have fallen into disbelief."

Quran 5:17

(translated by Dr. Mustafa Khattab)

 

God couldn't keep his messages intact and let it get twisted into worshiping 'god the son', sending all the Christians to hell for falling into this 'disbelief'.

 

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

"O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies... And whoever is an ally to them among you - then indeed, he is [one] of them. Indeed, Allah guides not the wrongdoing people... Their deeds have been in vain, so they have become losers."

Quran 5:51-53; similar: 30:13-16

(Sahih International translation)

 

God is against people belonging to Christianity and Judaism, not only against their doctrines, despite some Islamic apologists trying to say that the Abrahamic religions are united.

 

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

"You see many of them taking the disbelievers as allies. Truly wicked are their misdeeds, which have earned them Allah’s wrath. And they will be in everlasting torment."

Quran 5:80

(translated by Dr. Mustafa Khattab)

 

Allah has bad news for you if you have non-muslim friends.

 

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

"˹This is˺ a discharge from all obligations, by Allah and His Messenger, to the polytheists you ˹believers˺ have entered into treaties with"

Quran 9:1

(translated by Dr. Mustafa Khattab)

 

Allah encourages Muslims to ignore obligations and agreements made with polytheists, but cutting political ties with partners doesn't help the people, it helps only the religious elite.

 

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

"Do not take your fathers or your brothers as allies if they have preferred disbelief over belief."

Quran 9:23

(Sahih International translation)

 

Islam wants you to shun your relatives who don't believe in the same fairytale as you do because there is a risk that they can help you understand the groundlessness of your religious convictions.

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

"The polytheists are ˹spiritually˺ impure, so they should not approach the Sacred Mosque"

(translated by Dr. Mustafa Khattab)

 

God can't handle the impurity of people. Let's not hurt his feelings.

 

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

"Do not ever offer ˹funeral˺ prayers for any of their dead, nor stand by their grave ˹at burial˺, for they have lost faith in Allah and His Messenger"

Quran 9:84

(translated by Dr. Mustafa Khattab)

 

You can't attend ex-Muslim funerals. It makes Allah uneasy and we should be mindful of taking care of his emotions.

Quran 10:88-89

(translated by Dr. Mustafa Khattab)

 

An early prophet is setting an example of aspirations for the fate of disbelievers.

 

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

"Noah called out to his son... 'do not be with the disbelievers.'... Noah called out to his Lord, saying, 'My Lord! Certainly my son is ˹also˺ of my family'... Allah replied, 'O Noah! He is certainly not of your family—he was entirely of unrighteous conduct.'"

Quran 11:42-46

(translated by Dr. Mustafa Khattab)

 

Allah tells Muslims to consider their disbelieving children not belonging to their families.

 

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

"Those who do not believe in the Hereafter... they are arrogant."

Quran 16:22

(Sahih International translation)

 

The attitude of believers towards disbelievers can easily compete in this contest.

 

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

"It is not [befitting] for Allah to take a son... so woe to those who disbelieved - from the scene of a tremendous Day."

Quran 19:35-37; similar: 17:39

(Sahih International translation)

 

Muslims often say that their god is the same as the Christian god, but Quran says that Allah will send Christians to hell with their Christ-son-god.

 

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

"You will never find a people who ˹truly˺ believe in Allah and the Last Day loyal to those who defy Allah and His Messenger, even if they were their parents, children, siblings, or extended family."

Quran 58:22

(translated by Dr. Mustafa Khattab)

 

True Muslims should deliberately be not loyal to their disbelieving parents, children, and relatives. A message of love and unity.

 

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

"This is because they believed and then abandoned faith. Therefore, their hearts have been sealed, so they do not comprehend."

Quran 63:3; similar 40:34

(translated by Dr. Mustafa Khattab)

 

The book tries to tell you that those who are skeptical about it are being blocked from understanding by Allah on purpose. It helps the believers ignore the points of view of the disbelieving faction so that the believers have fewer obstacles to lie to themselves about the divinity of their faith.

 

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

"Do not obey the deniers... They wish that you would soften [in your position], so they would soften [toward you]."

Quran 68:8-9

(Sahih International translation)

 

Don't accept compromises with deniers. Be radical in your unsubstantiated faith.

 

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

"The disbelievers would almost cut you down with their eyes when they hear ˹you recite˺ the Reminder, and say, 'He is certainly a madman.'"

Quran 68:51

(translated by Dr. Mustafa Khattab)

 

The funny thing is that usually when people belonging to one religion hear the teachings of another religion, it sounds ridiculous to them and they wonder how others can believe it. But they don't notice that it works both ways. It happens because most religious views are usually ridiculous, just you get used to those you believe in and they don't look weird to you anymore.

 

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

"Have you seen the one who denies the ˹final˺ Judgment? That is the one who repulses the orphan, and does not encourage the feeding of the poor."

Quran 107:1-3

(translated by Dr. Mustafa Khattab)

 

Quran is trying to convince people that disbelievers don't do good deeds.
