    Are human beings smart enough to overcome such childish psy-ops?

    There is a mirror with 16 million hits, on top of the original with almost 5 million, plus millions more.

    Especially with the internet, there are endless examples of ideological arguments, would-be incitement, and stupid reactions to it. Government censorship is for fools.

    LOOK!

    There is NOTHING a Hollywood producer could make up about Muhammad & Islam that could compare with what is written in HADITH!

    • WHY QURAN WAS WRITTEN DOWN
    Ibn Abi Dawud, Kitab al-Masahif—Many (of the passages) of the Qur’an that were sent down were known by those who died on the day of Yamama . . . but they were not known (by those who) survived them, nor were they written down, nor had Abu Bakr, Umar or Uthman (by that time) collected the Qur’an, nor were they found with even one (person) after them.
    • THE REMAINDER QURAN
    Abu Bakr decided that it was time to gather what remained of the Qur’an in order to prevent more from being lost, and he appointed Zaid ibn Thabit to this task. After Zaid completed his codex around 634 AD, it remained in Abu Bakr’s possession until his death, when it was passed on to Caliph Umar. When Umar died, it was given to Hafsa, a widow of Muhammad. (For a fuller account see Sahih al-Bukhari 4986.)
    • MISSING VERSES
    Aisha also tells us that individual verses of the Qur’an disappeared, sometimes in very interesting ways:
    Sunan ibn Majah 1944—It was narrated that Aishah said: “The Verse of stoning and of breastfeeding an adult ten times was revealed, and the paper was with me under my pillow. When the Messenger of Allah died, we were preoccupied with his death, and a tame sheep/goat came in and ate it.”
    The verses on stoning and breastfeeding an adult not in the Qur’an today.
    • MISSING PASSAGES
    We know further that large sections of certain chapters came up missing. For instance, Muhammad’s wife Aisha said that roughly two-thirds of Surah 33 was lost:
    Abu Ubaid, Kitab Fada’il-al-Qur’an—A’isha . . . said, “Surat al-Ahzab (xxxiii) used to be recited in the time of the Prophet with two hundred verses, but when Uthman wrote out the codices he was unable to procure more of it than there is in it today [i.e. 73 verses].”
    • 2 CHAPTERS MISSING FROM THE “PERFECT” QURAN & THE PART THE GOAT EAT
    One of Muhammad’s companions, Abu Musa, supported this claim when he said that the early Muslims forgot two surahs (chapters) due to laziness:
    Sahih Muslim 2286
    • UTHMAN’S QURAN
    During Caliph Uthman’s reign, approximately 19 years after the death of Muhammad, disputes arose concerning the correct recitation of the Qur’an. Uthman ordered that Hafsa’s copy of the Qur’an, along with all known textual materials, should be gathered together so that an official version might be compiled. Zaid ibn Thabit, Abdullah bin Az-Zubair, Sa’id bin Al-As, and Abdur-Rahman bin Harith worked diligently to construct a revised text of the Qur’an.
    • WHO BURNT THE FIRST QURANS?
    When it was finished, “Uthman sent to every Muslim province one copy of what they had copied, and ordered that all the other Qur’anic materials, whether written in fragmentary manuscripts or whole copies, be burnt” (Sahih al-Bukhari 4987). The Qur’an we have today is descended from the Uthmanic codex.
    • Sahih al-Bukhari 5005—Umar said, “Ubayy was the best of us in the recitation (of the Qur’an), yet we leave some of what he recites.” Ubayy says, “I have taken it from the mouth of Allah’s Messenger and will not leave it for anything whatever.”

    • But Ibn Masud wasn’t the only one of Muhammad’s trusted teachers who disagreed with Zaid’s Qur’an. Ubayy ibn Ka’b was Muhammad’s best reciter and one of the only Muslims to collect the materials of the Qur’an during Muhammad’s lifetime. Yet Ibn Ka’b believed that Zaid’s Qur’an was missing two chapters! Later Muslims were therefore forced to reject some of Ibn Ka’b’s recitation:

    • Ibn Masud advised Muslims to reject Zaid’s Qur’an and to keep their own versions—even to hide them so that they wouldn’t be confiscated by the government! He said:
    Jami at-Tirmidhi 3104—“O you Muslim people! Avoid copying the Mushaf and recitation of this man. By Allah! When I accepted Islam he was but in the loins of a disbelieving man”—meaning Zaid bin Thabit—and it was regarding this that Abdullah bin Mas’ud said: “O people of Al-Iraq! Keep the Musahif that are with you, and conceal them.”

    • Because of this (along with hundreds of other textual differences), Ibn Masud went so far as to call the final edition of the Qur’an a deception! He said, “The people have been guilty of deceit in the reading of the Qur’an. I like it better to read according to the recitation of him [i.e. Muhammad] whom I love more than that of Zayd Ibn Thabit” (Ibn Sa’d, Kitab al-Tabaqat al-Kabir, Vol. 2, p. 444).

    • Muhammad’s top teachers rejected Zaid’s version.
    Muhammad once told his followers to “Learn the recitation of the Qur’an from four: from Abdullah bin Masud—he started with him—Salim, the freed slave of Abu Hudhaifa, Mu’adh bin Jabal and Ubai bin Ka’b” (Sahih al-Bukhari 3808). Interestingly, Ibn Masud (first on Muhammad’s list) held that the Qur’an should only have 111 chapters (today’s version has 114 chapters), and that chapters 1, 113, and 114 shouldn’t have been included in the Qur’an.
    • MUSLIMS STUPID CLAIM
    But the Qur’an has all of these characteristics. Thus, Muslims who are aware of the evidence but who also want to maintain the perfect perseveration of the Qur’an must say something like this: “Yes, the Qur’an has all the characteristics of a book that hasn’t been perfectly preserved, but it’s been perfectly preserved anyway.” Can anyone make sense of such a claim?

    • THE IMPERFECT “PERFECT” QURAN
    This raises an obvious question. What’s the difference between a book that’s been perfectly preserved, and one that hasn’t been perfectly preserved? If Muslims are right, there’s no difference at all. The typical characteristics of a book that hasn’t been perfectly preserved are (1) missing phrases, (2) missing passages, (3) missing chapters, (4) disagreements about what goes back to the original, etc.

    • THE “PERFECT” QURAN IS MISSING
    When Ibn Umar—son of the second Muslim caliph—heard people declaring that they knew the entire Qur’an, he said to them: “Let none of you say, ‘I have learned the whole of the Koran,’ for how does he know what the whole of it is, when much of it has disappeared? Let him rather say, ‘I have learned what is extant thereof’” (Abu Ubaid, Kitab Fada’il-al-Qur’an).

    • ASSESSMENT OF TODAY’S QURAN
    Obviously, the Qur’an has changed significantly over the years. The evidence shows that entire chapters were lost, that large sections of chapters came up missing, that individual verses were forgotten, and that phrases have been left out. Muhammad’s best teachers and reciters couldn’t even agree on which chapters were supposed to be in the Qur’an.
    • FLAWED QURAN
    Due to these disputes among Muhammad’s hand-picked reciters, Muslims are faced with a dilemma. If Muslims say that the Qur’an we have today has been perfectly preserved, they must say that Muhammad was horrible at choosing scholars, since he selected men who disagreed with today’s text. If, on the other hand, Muslims say that their prophet would know whom to pick regarding Islam’s holiest book, they must conclude that the Qur’an we have today is flawed!

    MUSLIM SNAKES
    If you find a snake in your house that may be a jinn; (remember snakes are non-Muslim jinns) make life difficult for it for three days, and if it goes away (it is a believer in Islam) then fine; if not then kill it because it is a non-believer… (Sahih Muslim, 26.5558)
    That is some of Allah’s science. If a snake is a non-Muslim Jinn, how can it be a believer? Allah was brain damaged.

    Abu as-Sa’ib, the freed slaved of Hisham b. Zuhra, said that he visited Abu Sa’id Khudri in his house, (and he further) said: I found him saying his prayer, so I sat down waiting for him to finish his prayer when I heard a stir in the bundles (of wood) lying in a comer of the house. I looked towards it and found a snake. I jumped up in order to kill it, but he (Abu Sa’id Khudri) made a gesture that I should sit down. So I sat down and as he finished (the prayer) he pointed to a room in the house and said: Do you see this room? I said: Yes. He said: There was a young man amongst us who had been newly wedded. We went with Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) (to participate in the Battle) of Trench when a young man in the midday used to seek permission from Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) to return to his family. One day he sought permission from him and Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) (after granting him the permission) said to him: Carry your weapons with you for I fear the tribe of Quraiza (may harm you). The man carried the weapons and then came back and found his wife standing between the two doors. He bent towards her smitten by jealousy and made a dash towards her with a spear in order to stab her. She said: Keep your spear away and enter the house until you see that which has made me come out. He entered and found a big snake coiled on the bedding. He darted with the spear and pierced it and then went out having fixed it in the house, but the snake quivered and attacked him and no one knew which of them died first, the snake or the young man. We came to Allah’s Apostle (may peace be upon him) and made a mention to him and said: Supplicate to Allah that that (man) may be brought back to life. Thereupon he said: Ask forgiveness for your companion and then said: There are in Medina jinns who have accepted Islam, so when you see any one of them, pronounce a warning to it for three days, and if they appear before you after that, then kill it for that is a devil.

And in this Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) is reported to have said: Verily in these houses there live aged (snakes), so when you see one of them, make life hard for it for three days, and if it goes away (well and good), otherwise kill it for (in that case) it would be a non-believer. And he (the Holy Prophet) said (to his Companions): Go and bury your companion (who had died by the snake bite).

    THE ROLE OF THE TEMPLE AT MECCA IN THE JINN RELIGION OF ARABIA

    By Dr. Rafat Amari

    The Kaabah was a temple were the two statues of Asaf and Naelah, the famous Kuhhan of Jinn, were located. The Hajj began there and progressed to the statues of Wind-Jinn. Copies of the statues of Asaf and Naelah were placed over the hills of Safa and Marwa. One cannot fail to observe the role of the temple of Mecca as a place of worship for the Jinn religion, as well as being a place for the worship of the Arabian Star Family.

    Another element which helps us to understand the role of the Temple of Mecca is that it united the two main religions of Arabia: the Jinn religion, and the Star Family religion.

    In the Star Family religion, Allah was the biggest star. His wife was the sun, and his daughters were Manat and al-’Uzza, each representing a planet. The Kuhhan who represented the Jinn religion to Arabians who practiced other pagan religions, such as the worship of the Arabian Star Family, were accepted by the people who considered the Kuhhan to be gods.

    The tribe of Quraish considered Iblis – another name for the devil – and Allah to be brothers.[1] They said that between Allah and the Jinn, there is great kinship.[ii][2] They believed that the angels where daughters of Allah, and that the mothers of the angels were the daughters of the “Jinn’s lord.”[iii][3] The Jinn were viewed as superior to the angels.

    Pagan Arabians gave this exalted position to the Jinn because they believed the Jinn were in close relationship and kinship with Allah. Because the Jinn replaced the angels, they left their fingerprints on the Qur’an.

    The Jinn-devils Replaced Angels in the Qur’an, Just as They Replaced Angels in Literature and Poetry of the Jinn Religion of Arabia [/i]

    The Qur’an represents an Arabian literature developed before Mohammed; such literature attributed artistic works to the Jinn.[iv][4] In the Qur’an, we find the spirit of the Arabian Jinn religion. We see devils as ingenious workers for Solomon in Surah al-Anbiya’. Quoting from Surah 21, verses 81 and 82:

    For Solomon, the violent wind flowed under his command to the land which we had blessed, for we do know everything. And among the devils were some who dived into the sea for him, and did other works besides, and we protected them.

    Verse 81 refers to Solomon claiming that he had the wind as his servant. Under his command, the wind would go to the land which Allah blessed, called the land of Harran, as we understand from other sources. The wind as a servant of superior gods and deified kings is a habitual theme in ancient religions of the Middle East.

    Al-Sabuni, a modern expositor of the Qur’an in Saudi Arabia, commented on verse 82:
    The devils dived for Solomon, entering the depths of the sea in order to get jewels and pearls. They made great buildings for Solomon, including the construction of his palaces.
    The devils are portrayed in the Qur’an as very useful agents for Solomon and for the prophets. They are pictured as true agents of God, which He placed into Solomon’s service.[v][5]

    This teaching is derived from the Jinn religion which elevated the devils in the eyes of the Arabians so that the devils would become venerated and worshipped. These Qur’anic verses implied a relationship between God in the Old Testament and the devils, to the point that God would have protected them. This is contrary to the teaching of the Bible, where the devils are condemned creatures, and there is no partnership between God and devils.

    Other verses of the Qur’an also show the influence of the Jinn religion on the Qur’an. Surah 38, called Surah S’ad, in verses 37-39, is directed to Solomon:

    “The devils, which included every kind of builder and diver, is our bounty, so thank us, and no account will be asked.”

    The devils are portrayed as gifts of God to Solomon, who was required to thank God for them. This false allegation was taken directly from the Arabian Jinn religion, which gave the devils a high position and treated them as treasured gifts to the prophets of the Old Testament. Such allegations are contrary to the teaching of the Bible. The Bible warns us about devils, and presents them as a curse and as enemies of God and man. The Bible warns us not to have any relationship with devils.

    Not only in the Qur’an do we also find the idea of devils working for Solomon, but we see it in pre-Islamic poems by men who were known to have a relationship with the Jinn. For example, we find in the poems of al-Nabigha that the Jinn worked for Solomon, building the city of Tadmur in the Syrian desert for him[vi][6]. Another example is found in the writings of Al-Aasha’, a pre-Islamic Arabian poet. al-Aasha’ named the Jinn-devil who inspired his poetry. He called the Jinn-devil, Musahhal, and described him as his – beloved one.” Al-Aasha’ says: “my brother, the Jinn, has greeted me. My soul is dedicated to him.”[vii][7] This shows al-Aasha’ was one of the many poets dedicated to the Jinn religion of Arabia. These poets considered the Jinn to be brothers, and they tried to unify men with the Jinn. Mohammed also expressed similar thoughts. He claimed to go to heaven where he encountered Allah who delegated him for a mission to the humans and to the Jinn. Mohammed defined his people as originating from Jinn and humans.[viii][8] He often claimed that the Jinn became Muslims,[ix][9] and he referred to them as brothers.[x][10]
    Al-Aasha’ wrote in one of his poems that the “Jinn were working for Solomon, building arches.”[xi][11] Mohammed copied the same idea into Surah Saba 34, verses 12-13 . Speaking of Solomon, he wrote:

    Among the Jinn who worked with him, by the leave of his lord, they worked for him as he desired, building arches, statues, and basins as large as reservoirs and cauldrons fixed in their places. Work you sons of David with thanks.

    The Qur’an portrays God as asking the sons of David, like Solomon, to thank God because He sent the Jinn to do such artistic works. This is a false assertion against God. This idea of holding the Jinn in high esteem as good workers sent by God was an idea promoted by the Kuhhan in Arabia, to make the Jinn appreciated and venerated by the Arabians. It further sought to cause the Arabians to come to the Kuhhan as representatives of the Jinn and seek counsel from them.

    Ancient Roots of the Arabian Jinn-Devils Which Were highly Regarded as Descended From the Gods

    The teachings of the Arabians about the Jinn-devils being related to Allah, and their daughters being mothers for the angels, has its ancient roots in Arabia. The Akkadians, who came from Arabia to Mesopotamia, claimed seven devils were sons of the Mesopotamian god “An,” who represented the sky and his wife “Kai,” who represented the earth. According to the Sumerians, An and Kai were married. The Akkadians introduced the idea that the devils were related to the main gods of Mesopotamia and assisted them in creating and governing the universe [xii] [12]. The Akkadians worshipped a devil named Girru, whom they claimed was of the line of the god, “An,” and was formed from fire. [xiii][13] In the Qur’an we find the Jinn-devils were also formed from fire.

    The roots of ancient Arabia show that thousands of years before Mohammed the religion of Jinn-devils gave them an exalted position, making them a dynamic force in pagan worship in the temples of Arabia, especially in Star Family worship. The Kuhhan became the religious class, a hierarchy responsible for the various temples of Arabia. This enabled the Kuhhan to introduce the rites of the Arabian Jinn religion in the temples, such as the Umra Hajj which revolved around the Jinn and the famous servants of Jinn, Asaf and Naelah. We saw how this Hajj became an official Hajj which started at the Kaabah of Mecca. The Kuhhan caused the revered figures of the Jinn religion to be the focused sacred elements in the temple. The statues of Asaf and Naelah were placed over the main stones of the temple at Mecca.

    Since the early construction of the temple of Mecca, the Kuhhan of the Jinn were its official priests. This explains how they made their occult Hajj into a ceremony of the temple.

    The temple of Mecca was governed by the Kuhhan of the Jinn. We see this from the presence of the two statues of the Kuhhan on the stones which, without doubt, became sacred because of the two statues placed there. The fact the statues continued to be located there for a long time tells us that the hierarchy of the temple was contained in the Kuhhan line. They considered Asaf and Naelah to be the pioneer servants to the temple. It’s similar to a priest in a Catholic church putting the image of the first bishop or priest who served the church in the main corner of the sanctuary.

    We conclude that the rites in the Kaabah of Mecca were conducted by the Kuhhan of the Jinn, and they were responsible for its religious functions. There are other famous Kuhhan who were known to be responsible of the Kaabah at Mecca. Among them was Wake’a Zuhair al-Iyadi. Ibn al-Kalbi, an Arabian historian and author who wrote about the pre-Islamic era, says that Wake’a was responsible as the Kahen of the Kaabah in those times.[xiv][14] According to the old Arabian authors, Wake’a was known to have rhymed prose like that of the Kuhhan.[xv][15] This confirms his affiliation to the Kuhhan of the Jinn religion. His rhymed prose was considered equal to the Qur’an. We also find many of his phrases copied by Mohammed and incorporated into the Qur’an. Excerpts of the sayings of Wake’a are found in old Arabic literature, such as Majma’ al-Amthaal written by al-Maydaani. [xvi][16]

    All this confirms the sovereignty of the Kuhhan of Jinn over the temple of Mecca, making them the true religious class of the temple. This also explains how many of their rites, such as their Hajj to the main elements of the Jinn religion in the city, became a main ritual of the Temple and for the worshippers of the Arabian Star religion.

    They Worshipped a Serpent in the Temple At Mecca, and the Arabians Thought it was a Jinn-devil

    The true ceremonies of Kaabah, and their connection with the Jinn religion, is shown by the worship of a serpent in the Kaabah. The writings of Tabari, the famous Arabic historian who wrote about pre-Islamic Arabia, tells us that a serpent lived in the well of Kaabah, where the inhabitants of Mecca threw their gifts.[xvii][17] It seems that the gifts were offered to the serpent.

    Arabian historians who wrote about pre-Islamic Mecca, said the term “Allaha,” from which the name Allah was derived, was applied to the “big serpent.”[xviii][18] Arabians worshipped serpents, considering them to be serpent-devils. One of the titles for the devil around Mecca was “Azab,” who was believed to be a serpent.[xix][19] Historians also said that the Jinn is a white serpent,[xx][20] whom they believed heard and distinguished between languages. Poets, like al-Nabighah and others who were known to have relationship with the Jinn, such as Umayya bin Abi al-Salt and Adi bin Zayd, promoted such ideas.[xxi][21]

    Because the serpent in the well of the temple was worshipped, and because he received their gifts, we can see that the temple of Mecca was an important center for the worship of the Jinn. They worshipped the Jinn through worshipping the serpent in the well of the Kaabah, and they called it “Allaha .” Remember that the idol “Kozah” was placed in the Kaabah. The people believed he caused rain and thunderstorms, but many scholars think he was a devil.

    In structure and ceremony, the Kaabah in many ways was identical to the temples of the Jinn religion of Arabia.

    The Arabians had temples which they called “Taghut “, a title for Marid of the Jinn, which means a giant Jinn. In subsequent times, the Kuhhan of the Jinn were also called Taghut,[xxii][22] showing us that the Taghut were the temples of the Jinn religion. Authors who wrote about Arabia in the pre-Islamic period mentioned the similarity between the Kaabah of Mecca and the Taghut. Taghut had the same construction as the Kaabah from the inside, and they had the same ceremonies, such as marching around them like the pagan Arabians who had encompassed the Kaabah.[xxiii][23]

    This suggests to us that the temple at Mecca was much like the Taghut united with other various temples of the Jinn religion. In ceremonies and structure, there was an affinity between the temples built for the Arabian Star Family and those of the Jinn religion. This is understandable, since the Kuhhan of the Jinn governed the religious functions in most of the temples built for Star Family worship. The Kuhhan governed the worship of the Star Family temple in the same way they governed the temples of the Taghut, which were dedicated to the worship of Jinn. The Temple of Mecca was one of the temples of Arabia which practiced the worship of both of the main pagan religions of Arabia.

    The two priests of Jinn, Asaf and Naelah, were assumed to have been buried in the Kaabah of Mecca. The Kaabah was a place of immoral ceremonies, which supports the idea that it was a sanctuary for the Jinn religion. In pre-Islamic times, the tombs of some of the Kuhhan became sacred places where Arabians visited to get a blessing. Pagan Arabians made their sanctuaries into places of security and shelter. If anyone entered the sanctuaries, he would became invulnerable, and no one could harm him.[xxiv][24] This was also observed at the temple of Mecca. This may suggest that the Kaabah originally was a place where the two Kuhhan, Asaf and Naelah, were buried. Then tribes from Yemen built a temple there, sharing the same purpose for the Kaabah between the Jinn religion and the Arabian Star Family worship which Yemeni tribes embraced.

    Also, the authors who wrote about Mecca in pre-Islamic times spoke about the ceremonies which occurred in the Kaabah which are practiced today only in the temples of Satanism. For example, according to the authoritative book of al-Bukhari, when they encompassed the Kaabah, the marchers were to be naked, including the women.[xxv][25] Also according to the book Halabieh, the Kaabah was a place of fornication. If someone wanted to commit fornication, he could do so at the Kaabah.[xxvi][26] This reminds us of the fornication which occurred in the temples belonging to devil worship, and which supports the affiliation of Kaabah with the Jinn religion of Arabia. Arabic writers who tell us about Mecca describe the fornication of the women of the city.[xxvii][27] It seems these immoralities in the Kaabah had influenced the city.

    The history of occult practices in the Kaabah of Mecca rule it out as a temple of the true, holy God, since He is opposed to Satanism and any form of the occult. All the ceremonies and the personalities who governed the ceremonies, including the idols which were worshipped and the stones which were venerated, confirm that the Kaabah was a local expression of paganism and occult worship in Mecca. This defilement was worse than what occurred in any other pagan temple known to the ancient world, whether in the Middle East or in Asia. These practices failed to have even a trace of the character of worship worthy of the true God as we encounter Him in the Bible. The worship of the God of the Bible exposes every source of the occult. It is totally bound up with the Scriptures which God inspired and gave to the prophets to be conserved for all ages. The Bible was honored in every sanctuary where the people worshipped God, something we did not see in the Temple of Mecca at any point in history. In the Temple of Mecca we see only the occult and the pagan Star Family tradition. How can Islam claim the temple of Mecca was the historical center of monotheism throughout history?
