Why islam
Quran: Sunnah 4, verse 3
YUSUFALI: If ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, Marry women of your choice, Two or three or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or (a captive) that your right hands possess, that will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice.

Quran Sunnah 8, verse 17
YUSUFALI: It is not ye who slew them; it was Allah: when thou threwest (a handful of dust), it was not thy act, but Allah's: in order that He might test the Believers by a gracious trial from Himself: for Allah is He Who heareth and knoweth (all things).

Islamists advertising on our site

The other day while I was checking this site I noticed a google ad from "Why islam" (see above). The Islamic Circle of North America started the "Why islam" ad campaign in order to "break stereotypes of muslims... [and] to give the right picture of Islam. It is not about terrorism. It is about peace,''
I don't know whether I should laugh because I have islamists advertising on my site or whether I should cry because I have islamists advertising on my site. I'm leaning towards the latter.
If you really want to learn what jihad is about then check out our "Why islam" campaign which actually gives you a real picture of what islam and jihad is about.
Under the fold you can check out a couple of quranic passages that call muslims to jihad (holy war).
047.004 YUSUFALI: Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), smite at their necks; At length, when ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind a bond firmly (on them): thereafter (is the time for) either generosity or ransom: Until the war lays down its burdens. Thus (are ye commanded): but if it had been Allah's Will, He could certainly have exacted retribution from them (Himself); but (He lets you fight) in order to test you, some with others. But those who are slain in the Way of Allah,- He will never let their deeds be lost.
009:029YUSUFALI: Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya [Ed. tax] with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.
008.060 YUSUFALI: Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies, of Allah and your enemies, and others besides, whom ye may not know, but whom Allah doth know. Whatever ye shall spend in the cause of Allah, shall be repaid unto you, and ye shall not be treated unjustly.
008.012YUSUFALI: Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): "I am with you: give firmness to the Believers: I will instil terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them."

LOL...apparently I am an evil tyrant
Akhter from Bradford Britain, tries to paint me as an evil tyrant because I supposedly misquoted the quran. When posting quranic verses I always include the entire verse and I never alter any words. My quotes from the quran are always verbatim.
So somehow because of my verbatim quotes from the quran, I am 'insulting islam' by 'misquoting the quran'. By 'doing so, [I am following] in the footsteps of historical tyrants who performed ethnic cleansing by painting a certain group as evil'
In Akhet's drawn out response to my why islam? post regarding quranic verse 2:191 he quotes Ansar Al Adl from islam news room. Al Adl states
"It is the duty of Muslims to defend humanity from oppression and persecution and to establish justice. Muslims believe that God has placed us here on earth as his deputy or viceroy, and thus, it is our duty to enjoin the good and forbid the evil, to establish peace and justice in the land. Dr. Maher Hathout writes the following on verses"In islam, 'oppression and persecution' can be defines as any land on Earth where muslims live but do not rule with islamic law. So therefore it is incumbent upon the muslims to establish islamic law. They establish islamic law through jihad.
We all know how tolerant/peaceful islamic law can be...death for anyone who leaves islam, death by stoning for promiscuious behavoir, amputation of hands for stealing, second class citizenship for non-muslims, men are allowed to marry 6 year old girls, women are only worth half that as men etc...
Al Adl goes on to say that jihadists 'are never allowed to attack innocent people'. But who are innocent in the eyes of the jihadists? Only muslims are innocents according to islamic jurists, so any terrorist attacks that targeted US, British, Spainish, Jewish civilians are legitimate in their eyes because the people killed are not innocent. In Afghanistan and Iraq where terrorists frequently kill other muslims, the terrorists claim that the muslims killed are apostates of islam and therefore deserve to be killed.
In any case, I will continue to quote the quran verbatim. If I 'malign islam' by quoting its texts then you should blame muhammed for giving islam a bad rap.

Why muhammad?

Sahih Muslim, Book 041, Number 6985:
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.

Why Muhammad?

Volume 3, Book 50, Number 885:Narrated Abu Huraira and Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani:
A bedouin came to Allah's Apostle and said, "O Allah's apostle! I ask you by Allah to judge My case according to Allah's Laws." His opponent, who was more learned than he, said, "Yes, judge between us according to Allah's Laws, and allow me to speak." Allah's Apostle said, "Speak." He (i .e. the bedouin or the other man) said, "My son was working as a laborer for this (man) and he committed illegal sexual intercourse with his wife. The people told me that it was obligatory that my son should be stoned to death, so in lieu of that I ransomed my son by paying one hundred sheep and a slave girl. Then I asked the religious scholars about it, and they informed me that my son must be lashed one hundred lashes, and be exiled for one year, and the wife of this (man) must be stoned to death." Allah's Apostle said, "By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, I will judge between you according to Allah's Laws. The slave-girl and the sheep are to be returned to you, your son is to receive a hundred lashes and be exiled for one year. You, Unais, go to the wife of this (man) and if she confesses her guilt, stone her to death." Unais went to that woman next morning and she confessed. Allah's Apostle ordered that she be stoned to death.

Why Muhammad?

Volume 4, Book 52, Number 53Narrated Anas bin Malik:
The Prophet said, "Nobody who dies and finds good from Allah (in the Hereafter) would wish to come back to this world even if he were given the whole world and whatever is in it, except the martyr who, on seeing the superiority of martyrdom, would like to come back to the world and get killed again (in Allah's Cause)."
Narrated Anas: The Prophet said, "A single endeavor (of fighting) in Allah's Cause in the afternoon or in the forenoon is better than all the world and whatever is in it. A place in Paradise as small as the bow or lash of one of you is better than all the world and whatever is in it. And if a houri from Paradise appeared to the people of the earth, she would fill the space between Heaven and the Earth with light and pleasant scent and her head cover is better than the world and whatever is in it."

ICNA Why Islam Ad Campaign Spreads to Seatle
The Islamic Circle of North America, ICNA, has expanded it's "Why Islam, You Deserve to Know" ad campaign to buses in Seattle.The Seattle Times
I've launched my own "Why islam, you deserve to know" campaign.
The ads, scheduled to run until November, were designed by the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) and direct people to a toll-free number and Web site sponsored by the group. ICNA is a New York-based nonprofit that seeks to educate people about Islam and has 22 U.S. chapters in the U.S.
In addition to Seattle, the New York and Chicago chapters plan to run ads on public transit this year. The bus ads haven't stirred controversy in the Seattle area, but in New York, where 1,000 of the ads are scheduled to go up in subways later this month, U.S. Rep. Peter King urged subway officials to not display them.
In a letter to transit officials, the Republican congressman said he doesn't oppose the ad's content. But he objects to the campaign's support by Siraj Wahhaj, a Brooklyn-based imam who was a character witness for an Egyptian cleric convicted in 1995 for conspiring to attack New York landmarks.[...]
"Our goal is to create this awareness about Islam, that Muslims are Americans. That Muslims are your neighbors, your colleagues," Baig said. "People may have questions in their minds but don't know where to go."

Why Muhammed?

Volume 5, Book 58, Number 234
Narrated Aisha:
The Prophet engaged me when I was a girl of six (years). We went to Medina and stayed at the home of Bani-al-Harith bin Khazraj. Then I got ill and my hair fell down. Later on my hair grew (again) and my mother, Um Ruman, came to me while I was playing in a swing with some of my girl friends. She called me, and I went to her, not knowing what she wanted to do to me. She caught me by the hand and made me stand at the door of the house. I was breathless then, and when my breathing became Allright, she took some water and rubbed my face and head with it. Then she took me into the house. There in the house I saw some Ansari women who said, "Best wishes and Allah's Blessing and a good luck." Then she entrusted me to them and they prepared me (for the marriage). Unexpectedly Allah's Apostle came to me in the forenoon and my mother handed me over to him, and at that time I was a girl of nine years of age.

Why Muhammed?

Volume 4, Book 52, Number 44
A man came to Allah's Apostle and said, "Instruct me as to such a deed as equals Jihad (in reward)." He replied, "I do not find such a deed." Then he added, "Can you, while the Muslim fighter is in the battle-field, enter your mosque to perform prayers without cease and fast and never break your fast?" The man said, "But who can do that?" Abu- Huraira added, "The Mujahid (i.e. Muslim fighter) is rewarded even for the footsteps of his horse while it wanders bout (for grazing) tied in a long rope."
