Questionable Teachings of Islam:

One Billion People Deceived

Muhammad declared that, since the earth belonged to Allah and to him, he would expel
Jews from the land unless they accepted Islam:
"While we were in the Mosque, the Prophet came out and said, "Let us go to the Jews" We
went out till we reached Bait-ul-Midras. He said to them, "If you embrace Islam, you will
be safe. You should know that the earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle, and I want to
expel you from this land. So, if anyone amongst you owns some property, he is permitted
to sell it, otherwise you should know that the Earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle."
( Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 53, No. 392)

Many noted politicians have gone on record with statements that honor Muhammad and
praise Islam as a religion of peace. Many see Muhammad as a "role model" that people
should emulate. The PBS Network even produced a very positive documentary for national
television about the legacy of Muhammad that was funded in part by Islamic benefactors.

The following examples should be considered and examined closely in regard to selecting
a role model:

Muhammad allows women and children of polytheists to be killed:
"It is reported on the authority of Sa'b b. Jaththama that the Prophet of Allah (may peace
be upon him), when asked about the women and children of the polytheists being killed
during the night raid, said: They are from them.."
( Sahih Muslim, Book 019, No. 4321 )

Muhammad ordered the stoning death of a woman for being pregnant out of wedlock -
but allowed her to first give birth to the child:
"Be good to her, and when she bears a child, bring her (to me). When she gave birth to
the child, he brought her (to him). The Prophet gave orders regarding her, and her clothes
were tied to her. He then commanded regarding her and she was stoned to death..."
(Sunan Abu-Dawud, Book 38, No. 4426)

It appears Muhammad may have approved of selling slaves:
"We sold slave-mothers during the time of the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) and of Abu Bakr..."
(Sunan Abu-Dawud, Book 29, No. 3943)

"A man amongst us declared that his slave would be freed after his death. The Prophet
called for that slave and sold him. The slave died the same year." (Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 3,
Book 46, Number 711)
