Continuing with our Ramadan take-down of the Quran, we're going to be jumping back to Surah 2:130 and going from there. In today's verses, we're going to be going a bit more into the Islamic Dilemma. Let's jump in. 130. And who will show aversion to Abraham's creed except he who has befooled himself. We... Continue Reading →
Last week, on Flippin' Fatwa Friday, we talked about the Hajj and its pagan origins. So, this week, we're going to talk about the pagan origins of Ramadan, the month where Muslims fast during the day, then eat a ton of food at night while applauding each other for their piousness and demand that us...

Happy month of Ram-it-down (Ramadan), everybody! It's Islam's holiest month, the one in which you're supposed to fast during the day before stuffing your face with two giant meals about the size of a Thanksgiving dinner after sunset for an entire month. Why do they do this? Well, that's going to be next week's Flippin'... Continue Reading →
Sorry, guys. We have a longer one to deal with today. At first, I only wanted to go through verses 110-112, but when I saw that 122 starts talking about Abraham and the Kabbah, and Ramadan starts on the 17th, I figured I'd make you guys suck it up and deal with 11 verses of... Continue Reading →
Happy Al-Zutt Remembrance Day! Unfortunately, while I was writing this post, I completely forgot that this installation of Flippin' Fatwa Friday would fall on this hilarious new holiday, which means that sadly (or thankfully, depending on how you look at it), we will not be talking about Muhammad's midnight rendezvous with the thirty men of...

If you thought we were done talking about Muhammad's hatred of Jews last week, I apologize. Jew hatred is a recurring theme in the Quran and Muhammad basically tries to find every reason under the sun to hate the Jews. However, all it boils down to is the fact that the Jews rejected him and... Continue Reading →
Picking up our roast of Surah 2, we need to talk about 2:83-86. When I got to this point in Al-Baqarah, I was somewhat shocked at just how blatantly anti-Jew it was. It provides a justification for why Muslims should hate the Jews that isn't valid at all when you have a Biblical worldview. However,... Continue Reading →
Previously on Flippin' Fatwa Friday, we talked about the Exodus story and how the Quran somehow managed to screw that up. Now, we're picking up where we left off, and it's time to talk about my favorite topic that completely destroys Islam: The Islamic Dilemma. Currently, I'm writing a research paper on this very topic... Continue Reading →
You may have noticed that I included the category "Mythology" to this one and be wondering why. Well, I added it because we're talking about the Quranic creation account. Though it's fairly similar to the Biblical creation story, it's different in some very important ways that shine a light on some key differences between what... Continue Reading →
Continuing with our read-through of the Quran, we're back in Surah Al-Baqarah today, examining verses 8-20. These are the verses that really set up a whole series of random threats that will be repeated throughout the Quran. Honestly, so far in my reading of this book, if you took out all the random threats of... Continue Reading →
