Test of Integrity and Credibility - The Koran

Nothing in the world scrutinises & tests a person’s integrity more so than legal proceedings. Those in law enforcement and the legal profession are aware of the value of consistent statements. When an individual makes a statement that is inconsistent or contradicts previous statement made at an earlier time it is seen as a “red flag”, "the alarm bells" start ringing. When contradicting statements are made the credibility and integrity of that individual are seriously diminished. The problem is exacerbated when an individual repeatedly contradicts earlier statements made; the individual is seen as a liability and of no useful value. The individual is viewed as totally unreliable and lacking any credebility when given the opportunity to explain or retract the contradictions to no avail, that is to say they fail to justify the contradictions with no valid explanation. (e.g diagnosed Medical illness resulting in memory loss) 

In the legal system, inconsistent statements given in statements or oral evidence during legal proceedings can give rise to criminal proceedings against the individual in the form of “perjury”, the effect been the individual is viewed as a wilful liar, untrustworthy and is brought to account. Judicial process demands that individuals are truthful and honest in any statements made to authorities or given during proceedings. It is a fundamental principal and foundation in ensuring Justice is served at the highest standard. {Pertinent to clarify the issue here is not about conflicting statements made by separate individuals, the issue of credibility arises when the same individual contradicts earlier statements they made.}

Likewise, any one would be gravely concerned if any text, guide, training manual or educational book contained blatant contradictions, that text would be quickly dismissed and the author ridiculed.   

By the same measure, it would be utterly disgraceful if any religious text contained contradictions and conflicting statements. Religious books have greater weight than a written statement, religious texts have authors, and those authors profess to be delivering a message they received from a higher being.  Of late Christianity has come under sever attack by another creed, namely Islam. Particular attention and efforts have been made to attack the integrity of the Holy Bible, In Australia an organisation commenced an assault under the guise of “ encouraging dialogue” by professing Jesus is a prophet of Islam, In Pakistan they have enacted blasphemy laws to silence anyone that dares question any part of the Koran, or Islamic teaching.

The “ummah” Muslim community are taught their book the Koran is absolutely ‘perfect’. The Koran was handed down by an illiterate man named Mohammed claiming it contains the divine word of “allah” as transmitted to him by “allah’s angel’.

The ummah rely on the latter to challenge the authenticity of the Holy Bible, alleging it is corrupt and a perversion of the truth, while the Koran is the truth and free from any error. The ummah acknowledge Jesus Christ was the prince of peace, a sinless man conceived of virgin birth but utterly refute Jesus Christ is the son of god and the Koran is infallible.

Naturally as a liberal minded Christian, I found those statements concerning, the only way to ascertain the truth was to examine the Koran and confirm its consistency and message. Below are a broad spectrum of questions that test the infallibility of the Koran, and more importantly the integrity and consistency of the statements made by mohammed and attributed directly to him by the ummah community. There are no trick questions, pretty straight forward questions, mohammed miserably failed the test, the contradictions are profound and expose a person of no worth or consistency. Mohammed was consistently inconsistent and repeatedly contradicted himself, exposing a very poor memory or simply a pathological liar that was prepared to make any statement to suit the occasion with no regard for his earlier statements. From a legal context mohammed would be deemed a compulsive perjurer of no value whatsoever.  

So, please sit back and enjoy the Islam Quiz, I implore members of the ummah to seriously question the validity of the Koran and if in any doubt please confirm the same for yourselves. Search your mind and heart to arrive at your own conclusion, ask is this individual is reliable by any measure? Most importantly you must ask, if the message really is from allah, how can allah possibly contradict himself and forget his earlier statements? Would any loving parent confuse his own child by repeatedly giving conflicting contradicting instruction?

If no parent would treat a child in such a manner, how can God our creator ever confuse his children with such conflicting messages?

I have listed but a few of the contradictions derived directly from the Koran. These contradictions were all uttered by mohammed, as said earlier the Koran contains statements made by mohammed and no one else. These statements expose a totally unreliable individual who is untruthful and totally inconsistent in his statements. The contradictions point to a man that fabricated statements over an extended period of time, often forgetting statements that he made earlier. Most importantly it confirms no superior being could possible confuse his own message in such an abhorrent manner, it defies the meaning of “superior”.

Only an inferior being such as SATAN has the capacity to compile the chronic errors and contradictions contained in the Koran, delivered by Mohammed his servant.

NOTE: To look up and read any of the quoted Suras, I recommend you use the authorised English translation of the Koran by pickthall: http://ishwarllc.com/islam/holy_quran_(pickthall)/
