Questionable Teachings of Islam:

One Billion People Deceived

Muhammad as a role model, continued:

On one occasion, it is reported that "Allah" reprimanded Muhammad for dealing harshly
with thieves who stole his camels. Allah then recommended execution or crucifixion as
punishment, instead:

"When the Apostle of Allah cut off (the hands and feet of) those who had stolen his
camels and he had their eyes put out by fire (heated nails), Allah reprimanded him on
that (action), and Allah, the Exalted, revealed: "The punishment of those who wage war
against Allah and His Apostle and strive with might and main for mischief through the
land is execution or crucifixion"
( Sunan Abu-Dawud, Book 38, No. 4357)

When Muhammad heard that some of his followers insulted another Muslim, Muhammad
ordered them to eat the corpse of a dead donkey:

"He (Muhammad) asked: Where are so and so? They said: Here we are, Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him)! He said: Go down and eat some of this ass's corpse. They
replied: Apostle of Allah! Who can eat any of this? He said: The dishonour you have just
shown to your brother is more serious than eating some of it. By Him in Whose hand my
soul is, he is now among the rivers of Paradise and plunging into them."
(Sunan Abu-Dawud, Book 38, No. 4414)

Muhammad ordered that anyone caught drinking wine should be punished and if caught
a fourth time should be killed:

“ If he drinks wine, flog him if he does it so again, a fourth time,
kill him.” ( Sunan Abu-Dawud, Book 38, No.4469)

Islam teaches that Jews and Christians are to be taxed:

"Tithes are to be levied on Jews and Christians, but not on Muslims."
(Sunan Abu-Dawud, Book 19, No, 3040)
