Muhammad Commands His Followers to Kill Critics of Islam


Everyone seems shocked when Muslims riot over a poorly made Youtube video or some silly cartoons. But violent responses to criticism are a tradition in Islam, and Muhammad himself started the tradition. Let's look at an example.

A man named Abu Afak was more than a hundred years old when he decided to write a poem about Muhammad, who was dividing people and causing them to kill one another. Here's the story of Abu Afak's death:

Abu Afak was one of the B. Amr b. Auf of the B. Ubayda clan. He showed his disaffection when the apostle killed al-Harith b. Suwayd b. Samit and said:

Long have I lived but never have I seen An assembly or collection of people More faithful to their undertaking And their allies when called upon Than the sons of Qayla when they assembled, Men who overthrew mountains and never submitted, A rider who came to them split them in two (saying) "Permitted", "Forbidden", of all sorts of things. Had you believed in glory or kingship You would have followed Tubba.

The apostle said, "Who will deal with this rascal for me?" Whereupon Salim b. Umayr, brother of B. Amr b. Auf, one of the "weepers", went forth and killed him. (Ibn Ishaq, Sirat Rasul Allah, p. 675)

Hence, Muhammad's followers understood that people who criticize Islam or Muhammad must be killed. Soon, Muslims were free to kill anyone who made fun of Muhammad:

Sunan Abu Dawud 4348—Narrated Abdullah Ibn Abbas: A blind man had a slave-mother who used to abuse the Prophet and disparage him. He forbade her but she did not stop. He rebuked her but she did not give up her habit. One night she began to slander the Prophet and abuse him. So he took a dagger, placed it on her belly, pressed it, and killed her. A child who came between her legs was smeared with the blood that was there. When the morning came, the Prophet was informed about it. He assembled the people and said: I adjure by Allah the man who has done this action and I adjure him by my right to him that he should stand up. Jumping over the necks of the people and trembling the man stood up. He sat before the Prophet and said: Apostle of Allah! I am her master; she used to abuse you and disparage you. I forbade her, but she did not stop, and I rebuked her, but she did not abandon her habit. I have two sons like pearls from her, and she was my companion. Last night she began to abuse and disparage you. So I took a dagger, put it on her belly and pressed it till I killed her. Thereupon the Prophet said: Oh be witness, no retaliation is payable for her blood.

Sunan Abu Dawud 4349—Narrated Ali ibn Abu Talib: A Jewess used to abuse the Prophet and disparage him. A man strangled her till she died. The Apostle of Allah declared that no recompense was payable for her blood.

When Muslims become violent over criticism of their religion, they are doing exactly what their prophet taught them to do. Yet politicians and the media continue to assure us that Islam is a religion of peace, and that violence only occurs when terrorists "hijack" the religion.

@Abdulyasar Na Annabi

If the Hadiths are weak, then why do your scholars continue to publish them? Obviously Islamic scholars believe them if they publish them. So, are you saying your scholars are wrong?

And you said "IN HOLy BOOK HE IS NABI OF RAHMA", are you sure you want to say he is a prophet of a woman? Are you so unaware of your own language that you didn't know Rahma is a woman's name?

The problem you have is this, you are so quick to blame the Umayyads that you fail to notice that your own scholars teach from the Hadiths, and since you blame the Umayyad for making weak hadiths and the hadiths are the basis for the Quran and Sunnah, then the Quran is weak.

That destroys your words of Mohammad because you blamed the Umayyad, when the very Quran itself is built up the "weak" hadiths.

Do you get that you have destroyed your own testimony? So let me put it in logical form for you, ok.

1: Hadiths are weak.
2: Umayyad wrote weak hadiths.
3: Weak hadiths are basis for Quran
4: Therefore the Umayyad wrote the Quran.
5: Therefore the Quran is weak.
6: Therefore it is not the words of Mohammad because they are words of the Umayyad.
7: Therefore, you follow the "prophet" of the Umayyad.

That's your argument, not mine. You claimed the hadith as weak, you claim the Umayyad wrote the weak hadiths, your scholars continue to publish the weak hadiths. The weak hadiths are the basis of the Quran.

According to your argument, where am I wrong?

Dear abdulyasir
U have told “FIRSTLy ON THE CHAIN OF HADITH ONE OF THE CHAIN IS FROM umayyad CLAN AND ARE NOT THROUGH BELIEVERS THEy ENTERED ISLAM TO DESTROy IT BECAUSE THE TIME THEy ENTERED ISLAM ITS MUST TO THEM THATS THE REASON THEy ACCEPT THE RELIGION”

It indicates that Islam was forced in Arabia . Right?????
Is this the reason why there is apostasy laws in Islamic countries???

Hi David, I just have a question. Is there a reason you reference using the English translation reference which includes the book and number, and not the "reference" which just includes a different number?

I'm asking because I've been making some memes, and have been using just the plain reference, as it seems to be easier to find.

Thank you,
God bless,
Elijah
