Can't think of a title...read anyway
Yeah so anyway yesterday we were playing cricket and on the way back two of us stopped a freinds house from school. Anyway whilst there she bought up the topic of religion, and we got into a debate about it. After a whlie we decided to consult the internet. Anyway we found this web page. I told my freinds that most of it was complete crap and they shouldn't believe everything they read on the net. I myself was slightly taken back by the kind of garbage generated on the internet. For the record, neither of my two freinds are at all religious (whilst they drank Bacardi breezers I was drinking Volvic touch of fruit!), so they would not have much proir knowledge of Islam, and would be perhaps influenced by what they saw straight away. The web page is below

Assortment
Here are some random examples found in the so-called sacred books of Islam. Could believing Muslims, or even sensible human beings generate this garbage?
In India, Allah has named Himself Khwaja Ghareeb Nawaz (Malfoozat-e-Chisthi Ajmeri 4:149).
The Book of Nikah in Bukhari, shows Abdullah ibn-Umar narrating, “One day I climbed to the roof of my house, I saw the Holy Prophet sitting on two bricks facing Jerusalem and relieving himself” (Hadith #145). Please think to what extent your knowledge has grown from this silly information. Could a companion go spying, then furthermore narrate this foolishness?
I kept standing for 20 years without eating or drinking because I was reflecting (Rahat il-Quloob, Nizamuddin Awlia).
People who narrate ahadith tell lies even without intention (Imam Muslim in his preface to Saheeh-Muslim, Egypt pp.13-14).
Hazrat Ali led Salat-il-Maghrib, but he was drunk and recited the Qur'an wrong (Abu Dawood in his collection of Hadith, Seerat-un-Nabi, Allama Shibli 2:88).
I declare that Shams Tabrez is my Shams (the Sun) and he is my god. Commenting on the above, Ibn-Baham writes that Mulla Rumi was homosexual and he was deeply in love with the boy Shams Tabrez. (Commentary on Mathnawi by Ibn-Baham).
One of the Mother of Believers, Hafsa, found the Prophet engaged in sex with Maria the Coptic and she harshly rebuked him (Shibli referencing Tabarani, Seerat-un-Nabi 1:321).
The (woman) who buried a girl and the girl who was buried will both go to hell (Mishkat, Babul Qadar-wal-Imaan).
No one collected the Qur'an in its complete form but Ali and his descendants (Usool Kafi 1:441).
The Holy Prophet will hold the handle of the gate to paradise. He will knock the door, which will be opened, and Allah will wheel Himself out in a chair. Then the Prophet will fall into prostration (Musnad-e-Ahmed bin Hanbal). The Bible is in good company assigning a man-like image to God.
A man complained of being single. The Holy Prophet advised him to take a female pigeon as his wife (Imam Al-Mohaddith Al Qayyam, Tibb-e-Nabawi, Al Minaril Hanif p.106, Zadil Maad).
The messenger of Allah saw a man chasing a female pigeon. He said, “Look a satan is chasing a satana” (Abu Daud 4940, Ibne Maja 3765, Hanbal 2:365).
Some heretics were brought to Hazrat Ali and he burned them alive (Bukhari, Kitabul Murtadin pp.65-7).
Ali had the whole Qur'an. Abu Bakr and Umar refused to take it. Ali said, “One of my descendants (Mehdi) will deliver it and enforce it” (Faslul Khitab, Mishkatil Asrar p.37 and others).
Sheikh Abu Bakr Shibli taught a new creed to his disciples: “There is no God but Allah and Shibli is his messenger.” If someone objected he would say, “I was only testing” (Malfoozat Khwaja Nizamuddin Awlia, Fawaid ul fawad p.404).
People have different beliefs about religion. I believe in Judaism, Hinduism, Christianity, and Zoroastrianism (Ibne Arabi, Fasoos ul Hukm). Mohiuddin Ibne Arabi is still believed to be one of the greatest Muslim saints!
The Holy Prophet (SA) once prayed in Ka’aba while Kuffar were present. The Satan caused him to utter these words “These idols Laat, Manaat, and Uzza are respectable and their intercession is accepted” (Imam Tabari, Seera Shibli Naumani 1:146). Salman Rushdie based the title of his book, Satanic Verses, on this fabricated hadith. Why didn’t someone place a bounty on Tabari’s head for this blasphemy?!
Imam Ahmed bin Hanbal said, “There are three types of books that have no basis, Ghazwat, Battles and Tafseer” (Seera Shibli 1:27).
Ali's Qur'an is many times bigger and unaltered (Anwaar Naamania, Muhaddith Naimatullah Aljazairi).
The Prophet said, “I saw Allah in my dream as a young man with dense hair, green attire, golden sandals, and a veil of gold on His face (Dar Qatani 2:357, Tabarani, Baihaqi, etc.). The reader will note elsewhere in this book God depicted as a female in other traditions.
The Qur'an was collected by people who were sinful (Allama Baqir Majlisi, Miratul Uqool, Sharah Usool 1:171).
The Qur'an as revealed by Gabriel had 17000 verses (Now it has only 6200) (Faslul Khitab p.338).
Seventy names of Qureshites have been dropped from the Qur'an. Only the name of Abu Lahab was included to torture the Prophet (Hazrat Ali to Ibne-Nabat, Tafseer Miratil Anwaar).
Many books of Fiqh, like Fatawa Alamgeeri, teach ways of escaping the grip of law. On page 408, this huge volume advises that the safe way to steal something is for two thieves to join hands. One should do the break-in and the other one should enter through the breech, collect the valuables, and pass onto his partner waiting outside. None of the two will face legal punishment.
Angels bring messages to Imams that even the prophets did not receive (Tafseerul Burhan 4:484).
Dear Reader, many books of ahadith, history and seera (biography) describe the passing on of the Holy Prophet in a very gruesome manner. I feel hurt to repeat the details, but they end by saying that the Prophet’s eyes agonizingly widened and fixed at the ceiling. His uncle Abbas is reported as saying, “I know the family. Their faces become distorted before death.” The same histories tell us that the holy companions left the body alone for three days. Mulla Jalaluddin Rumi wrote a couplet describing the scene:
Because the companions so loved the world,
They left the Prophet without a coffin and funeral.
The Qur’an calls the Holy Prophet “Al-Muzammil”, which means the best judge of friends and comrades. Could he choose for his companions people that this couplet, our muhadditheen (narrators of hadith) and Mullas portray?
Such verses have been added to the Qur'an, which are dumb, foolish and reprehensible (Ehtijaj Tabrasi p.126).
Here are some amusing ahadith from the collection of Mulla Ali Qari, Matba’a Mujtabai:
v Seeing a beautiful face sharpens the eye.
v Never eat squash without Zibh (ritual slaughter).
v Brinjal (eggplant) is a sure cure for all diseases.
v A Muslim is sweet and likes to eat sweets.
v One who falls in love and remains chaste attains the status of a martyr.
The collection and arrangement of the Qur'an was entrusted to a man who was the enemy of the friends of Allah (Ehtijaj Tabrasi p.132).
Imam Baqir said, “Fahasha means Abu Bakr, Munkar means Umar Farooq and Baghi means Uthman (Imam Baqir to Dawood, Miratul Anwaar Tafseer p.258).
Allah will forgive everything except shirk. This verse means Allah will forgive anyone except those who disbelieve in the Vilayat of Ali (Tafseer Ayashi 1:245).
The disbeliever in the Vilayat of Ali is like a worshiper of idols (Tafseerul Burhan 2:35).
Allah said, “Oh, Muhammad if you appointed any one but Ali as your successor, all your deeds will be in vain and you will be among the losers" (Tafseer Qummi 2:251).
The first one to take the oath of allegiance on the hand of Imam Mehdi will be Mohammad (SA) (Basairul Darajat p.213).
Prophet Jonah (Yunus) denied the succession of Ali. Allah put him in the belly of a whale until he repented (Tafseerul Burhan 4:37).
Imam Ja’afar Sadiq said that Prophet Abraham was one of the Shias of Ali (Tafseerul Burhan 4:20).
Prophet Job got into affliction because he doubted the vilayat of Ali (Tafseer Miratul Anwaar p.70).
Imam Raza said, "There are 70,000 worlds appointed only for one duty. That duty is to perpetually curse Abu Bakr and Umar" (Tafseerul Burhan p.47).
During the times of the first three caliphs, right became wrong and wrong became right (Ehtijaj Tabrasi p.154).
The person of Allah means Ali and the worship of Allah means accepting the Vilayat, Imamat and Khilafat of Ali (Miratul Anwaar pp.59 and 232).
Imam Ja’afar Sadiq said, “We Imams are Salat, Zakat, Saum, and Haj. We are Makkah and Ka’aba and we are the face of Allah” (reference same p.217).
The status of a saint (Wali) is higher than that of a Rasul (messenger) (Sheikh Abul Fazl Sarsi, Malfoozat p.131).
Imam Ja’afar Sadiq said, “Salat means Nabi, Ali, Fatima, Hasan, and Hussain. Salatil wusta (Middle Salat) in the Qur'an means Ali” (Tafseer Ayashi 1:127).
The twelve Imams create all things. They are the providers and they control life and death. They send people to heaven or to hell (Miratul Anwar p.67).
The mount of Sinai broke into pieces when Prophet Moses requested to see Allah. It was only the light of a follower of Ali that Moses saw and it shattered the mountain (Tafseerul Burhan 2:35).
The followers of Ali taught manners to Mohammad (Tafseerul Burhan 1:540).
Imam Ja’afar said, "The salat of a Naasib (non-Shia) is nothing but Zina (fornication)” (Tafseerul Burhan 4:453).
According to Abdul Qadir Jilani, the salat of a Shia is nothing but idol worship (Ghania al-Talibain).
Now the fun way to attain ultimate piety: One who does Muta'a (temporary marriage) once in his life becomes equal in degree to Hussain. Someone who does it twice equals Hasan, three times equals Ali and Muta'a four times in life makes one equal to Prophet Mohammad (Tafseer Minahj Assabiqain).
Imam Ja’afar said, "I speak in a way which carries seventy different meanings. I take the meanings I wish" (Asasil-usool p.65).
The Mashaf (scripture) of Fatima is three times bigger than your Qur'an. It carries not a single word of your Qur'an (Usool Kafi, Abu Baseer).
One who hides religion is honored by Allah. One who reveals religion is dishonored by Allah (Usool Kafi, Bab Taqayya).
Taqayya (deceit) is the foundation of religion (Ashshafi 1:72).
Imam Tabari was Shia but presented himself as a Sunni through Taqqaya (Allama Tamanna Imadi, Tasveer ka Doosra Rukh).
Look at this insult rendered in the name of the Exalted Prophet: Tuesday is the day of blood. On this day bleeding refuses to stop (Abu Dawood Hadith #3862).
Again in the name of the Prophet, Hadith Tirmizi records an appalling nonsense: There is an ocean above the seventh heaven. On that ocean are standing seven mountain goats. On the back of those huge goats rests the throne of Allah!
Allama Badruddin Aini and Hafiz Ibne Hajar Asqalani wrote keys to “the most authentic book after the Qur'an,” i.e. Bukhari. They narrate that Imam Malik and Imam Shafaai used to have rectal intercourse with their wives and believed that it was permissible (Keys to the Collection of Bukhari).
A very beautiful woman used to come to the Prophet’s mosque for prayers. Some companions made it a point to stand in the rear line in order to look at her. Imam Tirmizi says in his collection that the Qur’anic verse, “We know the first ones and the last ones”, pertains to these onlookers! Was this the character of the glorious companions of the Holy Prophet? We have seen the Qur’anic testimony about them before.
When the Qur'an states that your women are raiment for you and you are raiment for them, it means that the husband and wife disrobe in bed and embrace each other (Imam Ibnil Qayyam, Tibb-e-Nabawi p.481).
Imam Ata says, “There is no harm in going into a pregnant slave girl anywhere you want” (Explanation of Bukhari, Matba Noor Mohammad, 1:492).
There are two kinds of snakes that can blind a man just by looking into his eyes (Imam Ibnil Qayyam, Tibbe Nabawi, explanation of Imam Muslim’s hadith #2223 in Kitabus Salam). Stay tuned to the Discovery Channel. Perhaps some day these mythical creatures will show up.
v The preceding narratives were just a sampling from an endless warehouse of absurdities. Is it still difficult to understand why the Muslims are miserable regardless of which continent they live in? This also explains why for the past five centuries, the Muslim Ummah has failed to produce one scientist of note.
