Questionable Teachings of Islam:

One Billion People Deceived

Muslims are obligated to love Muhammad more than anyone else:

"It is obligatory to love the prophet more than the members of one's household: one's
child, father or even the whole of humanity"
(Sahih Muslim: Book 001, Chapter 17: No. 0070)

According to Islamic theology, Muslims who annoy Allah and Muhammad are cursed:

"Those who annoy Allah and His Messenger - Allah has cursed them in this World and in
the Hereafter, and has prepared for them a humiliating Punishment." (The Qur'an:
033.057)

The Qur'an states that Muhammad could have as many wives as he wished, including
those who may be his relatives:

"O Prophet! We have made lawful to thee thy wives to whom thou hast paid their dowers;
and those whom thy right hand possesses out of the prisoners of war whom Allah has
assigned to thee; and daughters of thy paternal uncles and aunts, and daughters of thy
maternal uncles and aunts, who migrated (from Makka) with thee; and any believing
woman who dedicates her soul to the Prophet if the Prophet wishes to wed her;- this only
for thee, and not for the Believers (at large); We know what We have appointed for them
as to their wives and the captives whom their right hands possess;- in order that there
should be no difficulty for thee. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (The Qur'an:
033.050 )

For the record: Muslims are told to accept Muhammad's sayings only on the basis of his
own personal account. There was no one else around to witness Muhammad receiving any
messages from "Allah." This is quite a contrast from the Jewish Prophets and the disciples
of Jesus who were on hand to witness (see and hear) the events whenever the voice of
God communicated messages for the people. One example cites the disciples of Jesus
hearing God's voice:

"And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon (Jesus), and a voice
came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased."
(Luke 3:22)
