Back with speed running Surah al-Baqarah, we're speed running verses 203-237. We start off where we left off on verse 203. Until we get to verse 213, it pretty much the usual stuff, where we're told that Allah doesn't like mischief or anyone who makes mischief, and that if he's provided a bunch of signs...

It's been at least three months since I last wrote a Flippin' Fatwa Friday post criticizing the Quran. We've gotten 158 verses into this thing, though I hoped to be in Surah 3 by now. So, I'm going to switch tactics and instead of going chunk by chunk, I'm just going to speed run a... Continue Reading →
It's been several weeks since I last dissected the Quran, so now that we've had a break, it's back to this. We're going to be picking up from where we left off at verse 148, and taking a look at the seemingly good, the bad, and the ugly. Let's begin: 148. And everyone has an... Continue Reading →
I know. After a month of Flippin' Fatwa Friday posts, we'll all need a break... a week where there isn't a Flippin' Fatwa Friday. At some point, we'll get to that, but for right now, with Ramadan ending this week, we need to talk about Islamic prayer and how dumb it is, along with the... Continue Reading →
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 →
