Christ and Christianity

I have provided a response to this bizarre video in the Answering Muslims website, they have deleted that response as well as all my other scholarly contributions. Here is my response:



It must be quite obvious to everyone that this man is satisfying his dark and hidden sexual fantasies by collecting pornographic materials created by like-minded people about the Prophet of Islam. Most of these materials are from Sahih Bukhari (a collection of hearsay (hadith) compiled by Muhammad al-Bukhari (d. 256 AH/870 AD)) who was born in Bukhara, in present-day Uzbekistan, and died in Khartank, near Samarkand. His work, completed in 846 A.D, is al-Bukhari’s best-known collection. It was the first work of its kind exclusively dedicated to hadiths, and is one of six similar books that collected hearsay about the life of prophet.)



 These hearsay stories were collected two centuries after prophets death!! It must be obvious that, like the game of Chinese whispers, or as it is commonly called "Broken Telephone Line” game, in which a message is given to the first person in a line of people and then they are instructed to pass the message on by whispering it in the ear of the next person in line. The message goes from person to person until it reaches the end of the line, and that person announces the message to everybody. In most cases, the message that is announced at the end is quite a distorted message and is not the one that originally was given to the first person in the line.



The lesson, as children learn, is that information that one receives via word of mouth is not reliable. In fact, the stories that are collected, two centuries after the death of prophet, by Albukhari, or the collection by Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj al-Naysaburi,  over 250 years after the  death of Prophet, or Sunan Abu Dawud   collected about 275 years after the death of prophet, or Sahih al-Tirmidhi, collected by Muhammad Abu Isa al-Tirmidhi 280 years after the death of prophet,  and the ones collected by Sunan al-Nasa'i by Ahmad bin Ali al-Nasa'i, over three hundred years after the death of Prophet, and  even the  exegesis of the Persian  historian al-Tabari was written two centuries after the death of Prophet,  It would be naive to not notice that all these collected  oral stories  have not been consciously or unconsciously filtered through the comprehension of generations of individuals who had their own sexual fantasies, and/or perhaps had their own questionable motives -- for example trying to convince people of the unholiness of the prophet. It is curious, as to why these modern perverts, are only interested in   these cheesy stories, while ignoring the stunningly humane teaching of  Quran  including those about chastity of both man and woman? For instance:

 For Muslim men and women,
for believing men and women.
for men and women who are patient and constant.
for men and women who give in charity , for men and women who observe fasting,
FOR MEN AND WOMEN WHO GUARD THEIR CHASTITY
and for men and women who engage much in God's praise.
for them has God prepared forgiveness and great reward". (33:35)

A  book that demands from the followers to emulate the example of Virgin Mary, the blessed mother of Jesus:

"And remember her, who guarded her chastity, We breathed into her of Our spirit and We made her and her son a sign for all peoples." (21 :91)

The distortion of message of the Quran by the perverts.

These perverts even do not have any inhibitions in misinterpreting the Quran's verses, in order to give credence to their dark and wild sexual fantasies. For instance,  using the misinterpretation of  the Salafi like-minded perverts they use the verse 65:4 of the divorce Surah in  Quran which says:

 And those who no longer expect menstruation among your women - if you doubt, then their period is three months, and  also for  those who are not menstruating. And for those who are pregnant, their term is until they give birth. And whoever fears  God  - He will make for him of his matter ease.  

 Thus, based on the phrase "also for  those who are not menstruating" on this verse they unabashedly accept  the like-minded Salafi perverts interpretation that:  "Marriage to a young girl before she reaches puberty is permissible". Nothing, of course, can be farther from the truth. Any  normal person, with a common sense, can understand that the above verse is about protecting the life of divorced women, and it intends to extend those rights to the women who because of various medical conditions never have their periods or have irregular periods. Many  women have  amenorrhea,  meaning having no menstrual periods, because their ovaries do not release an egg. Amenorrhea can result from conditions that affect the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, ovaries, uterus, cervix, or vagina. As well, as many as 10% of women of reproductive age have Polycystic ovary syndrome, a complicated disorder that affects hormones and metabolism. There are others that their  thyroid gland which is responsible for regulating metabolism prevent their period,

Moreover the Quranic  protective laws of divorce for women are for all ages. The  discovery of the effects of combined oral contraceptive pills (COCs) which as early as 1977 has been accepted by a vast majority of women, who found them acceptable for stopping  their monthly period,  should not subvert  their  rights to be under the  protective laws of divorce,   including their rights to have a just  and mutually acceptable settlement, which is so elegantly spelled out in the previous verses of this Surah.

 Of course, it is a well known fact, that many Christian pastors like the  man in this video are suffering from various sexual disorder, rooted in the idea that a sexual intercourse is unholy and sinful, this is why there are so many sexual crimes are committed not only by Catholic clergymen, but also by evangelical pastors. According to the Washington Post{

Across the United States, evangelical churches are failing to protect victims of sexual abuse among their members. As the #MeToo movement has swept into communities of faith, several high-profile leaders have fallen: Paige Patterson, the president of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, was forced into early retirement this month after reports that he’d told a rape victim to forgive her assailant rather than call the police. Illinois megachurch pastor Bill Hybels similarly retired early after several women said he’d dispensed lewd comments, unwanted kisses and invitations to hotel rooms. See: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/posteverything/wp/2018/05/31/feature/the-epidemic-of-denial-about-sexual-abuse-in-the-evangelical-church/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.a7c5aa994861

According to another report by the New Yotk Times:

A handful of studies compiled by the Center for the Prevention of Sexual and Domestic Violence, some more than a decade old, suggest that up to 15 percent of clergy members in all religious groups have engaged in some inappropriate conduct, whether a stolen kiss or full-fledged sexual abuse. But few authoritative statistics are available on the number and type of complaints, and what information churches collect is usually kept secret.  https://www.nytimes.com/2002/04/13/us/abuse-by-clergy-is-not-just-a-catholic-problem.html

Just a simple Google search shows the widespread epidemic  of child abuse by the clergymen,

 Are these perverts Christians? 

 The fact is that these  people are suffering from sexual perversion. As Sigmund Freud has written about their conditions:

 Durch zahlreiche Mitteilungen sind uns ferner die sonderbaren Veranstaltungen bekannt geworden, unter denen gewisse Perverse ihre sexuelle Befriedigung – in der Idee oder Realität – in Szene setzen. Dagegen dürfte es manchen wie eine Neuheit klingen, zu erfahren, daß ganz analoge psychische Bildungen bei allen Psychoneurosen, speziell bei Hysterie, regelmäßig vorkommen, und daß diese – die sogenannten hysterischen Phantasien – wichtige Beziehungen zur Verursachung der neurotischen Symptome erkennen lassen. (...) Für eine ganze Reihe von hysterischen Symptomen sind solcher Art die unbewußten Phantasien die nächsten psychischen Vorstufen. Die hysterischen Symptome sind nichts anderes als die durch »Konversion« zur Darstellung gebrachten unbewußten Phantasien, und insofern es somatische Symptome sind, werden sie häufig genug aus dem Kreise der nämlichen Sexualempfindungen und motorischen Innervationen entnommen, welche ursprünglich die damals noch bewußte Phantasie begleitet hatten. (...) ist nun gefunden worden, daß die unbewußten Phantasien der Hysteriker den bewußt durchgeführten Befriedigungssituationen der Perversen inhaltlich völlig entsprechen, und wenn man um Beispiele solcher Art verlegen ist, braucht man sich nur an die welthistorischen Veranstaltungen der römischen Cäsaren zu erinnern, deren Tollheit natürlich nur durch die uneingeschränkte Machtfülle der Phantasiebildner bedingt ist. Die Wahnbildungen der Paranoiker sind ebensolche, aber unmittelbar bewußt gewordene Phantasien, die von der masochistisch-sadistischen Komponente des Sexualtriebes getragen werden und gleichfalls in gewissen unbewußten Phantasien der Hysterischen ihre vollen Gegenstücke finden können. Bekannt ist übrigens der auch praktisch bedeutsame Fall, daß Hysteriker ihre Phantasien nicht als Symptome, sondern in bewußter Realisierung zum Ausdrucke bringen und somit Attentate, Mißhandlungen, sexuelle Aggressionen fingieren und in Szene setzen.

-- Sigmund Freud: Kleine Schriften  Kapitel 31 Hysterische Phantasien und ihre Beziehung zur Bisexualität

"Through numerous communications we have also become aware of the strange events under which certain perverts stage their sexual satisfaction - in the idea or reality. On the other hand, it may sound like a novelty to learn that quite analogous psychic formations occur regularly in all psychoneuroses, especially in hysteria, and that these - the so-called hysterical fantasies - reveal important relationships with the causation of neurotic symptoms. (...)For a whole series of hysterical symptoms, unconscious phantasies are the next psychic precursors. The hysterical symptoms are nothing else than the unconscious phantasies brought about by "conversion," and inasmuch as they are somatic symptoms, they are often taken from the circle of the same sexual sensations and motor innervations which had originally accompanied the then-conscious imagination. (...) it has now been found that the unconscious fantasies of the hysterics fully correspond to the contents of the consciously carried out satisfying situations of the perverts, and if one is embarrassed by examples of this kind one need only remember the world-historical events of the Roman Caesars, their madness Of course, this is conditioned only by the unrestricted power of imagination. The delusions of the paranoiacs are just such, but immediately conscious fantasies, which are supported by the masochistic-sadistic component of the sexual drive and likewise can find their full counterparts in certain unconscious fantasies of the hysterical. By the way, the practically significant case is also known that hysterics express their fantasies not as symptoms but in conscious realization and therefore fake assassinations, maltreatments and sexual aggression."

The fact is that the man is a total hypocrite. He claims he is Christian, but when is confronted from the clear signs form the bible, instead of rationally respond to them, he deletes the questions. For example, many people have seen his friend and protégé Nabeel Qureshi who was afflicted with the most horrible cancer and wrote in his Facebook

"Friends and family, may I ask you to fast and pray fervently for my healing? I do not profess to know the will of the Lord, but many of my close friends and confidants are convinced that this is a trial through which the Lord intends to bring me alive and refined."

, and when things got worse he made a video and pathetically cried for help from his Lord, as per John 1, Lazarus and others to save him from that terrible agony. Until the time that this man unabashedly announced his death, without any reflection on the biblical prophecy that:

כזיִרְאַ֣ת יְ֖הוָה תּוֹסִ֣יף יָמִ֑ים וּשְׁנ֖וֹת רְשָׁעִ֣ים תִּקְצֹֽרְנָה:
The years of the wicked will be short (Proverbs 10:27)

It never occurred to him or his friend Nabeel that:

Έτσι πέθανε ο Σαούλ, εξαιτίας τής ανομίας του, που ανόμησε στον Κύριο, ενάντια στον λόγο του Κυρίου, τον οποίο δεν φύλαξε· κι ακόμα, επειδή ζήτησε έναν άνθρωπο, που να έχει πνεύμα μαντείας, για να ρωτήσει, και δεν ρώτησε τον Κύριο· γι' αυτό, τον θανάτωσε,

Saul died because he was unfaithful to the LORD; he did not keep the word of the LORD and even consulted a medium for guidance, and did not inquire of the LORD. So the LORD put him to death. Chronicles 10:13

תְּאַבֵּד֮ דֹּבְרֵ֪י כָ֫זָ֥ב אִישׁ־דָּמִ֥ים וּמִרְמָ֗ה יְתָ֘עֵ֥ב ׀ יְהוָֽה׃ 

Thou shalt destroy them that speak lying: the LORD will hate the deceitful man.   Psalm 5:5-6  

Yet this man continued with his deceptions and lies and ignored the biblical  warning that so clearly admonished:

Eπειδή, εγώ ο Κύριος ο Θεός σου είμαι Θεός ζηλότυπος, που ανταποδίδω τις αμαρτίες των πατέρων επάνω στα παιδιά, μέχρι τρίτη και τέταρτη γενεά, εκείνων που με μισούν· και κάνω έλεος σε χιλιάδες γενεών, εκείνων που με αγαπούν, και τηρούν τα προστάγματά μου. 

For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, I repay the sins of the fathers upon the children, to the third and fourth generation, to those who hate me; and I do mercy to the thousands of generations who love me, and keep my commandments.  Exodus 20:5

 And when this man's two innocent sons were inflicted by the most horrible,  ultra-rare and life-threatening medical condition called Myotubular Myopathy, a disease  that makes their muscles extremely weak, so that they cannot breathe or eat without life-sustaining machines.  he didn't  remember that his god "repay the sins of the fathers upon the children!"
