The Koran is a declaration of war against the non-Muslim world.
For Muslims, Koran, Hadith & Shari'a are unamendable,
divine revelations. No Islamic reform can
possibly take place without an acknowledgment that there are elements
of the Koran and the example of Muhammad that need searching reevaluation:
how can reformers succeed if only very few admit that anything needs
any reforming? At the same time, however, the very few Islamic reformers
have a difficult road; they are targeted as apostates, physically
threatened, and murdered.
Examples
of Shari'a
law include: requirement of women to obtain permission from husbands
for daily freedoms; beating of disobedient woman and girls; execution
of homosexuals; polygamy and forced child marriages; the testimony
of four male witnesses to prove rape; honor killings of those, principally
women, who have dishonored the family; death to apostate Muslims
who chose to leave Islam; inferior status of non-Muslims, and capital
punishment for those who “slander" Islam.

"Four of its minarets resemble
the barrels of Kalashnikov rifles. Another four look like Scud missiles
... It's called the mosque of the 'Mother of
all Battles'. ... The reflecting
pool rings the dome in the shape of the Arab world
... On display at the mosque are pages

written by Saddam Hussein with his own blood
... Out of all the monuments here,
not a single one is dedicated to the 100,000 soldiers Iraq claims
were killed."

About
1875, Temple Mount
in Jerusalem under Muslim Caliphate
rule: overall decay, disrepair and lack of use. Jerusalem's
role as "The Third Holiest Site in Islam" in mainstream
Islamic writings does not precede the 1930s, following the end
of the Caliph's rule, "Christian" Great Britain receiving
in 1922
the League of Nations Palestine Mandate to establish the Jewish
National Home and the Muslim minority losing hope to replace the
solid Jewish majority 
in Jerusalem. The myth was propagated by the
main Muslim ally of Adolf Hitler, Haj
Amin al-Husseini
and depicted amongst many others
on Islamic Republic of Iran stamps,
with guns pointing at Israel, blood
dripping
from Israel's map.

Al-Aqsa
Mosque on Temple Mount in Jerusalem:
note the structure alien to Muslim architecture
In
711, or 79 years after Muhammad died and 73 years after the Muslim
conquest of Jerusalem, the Muslim ruler reconstructed the Christian-Byzantine
Church of St. Mary and converted it into a mosque. He left
the structure as it was, a typical Byzantine "basilica"
with a row of pillars on either side of the rectangular "ship"
in the center. All he added was an onion-like dome on top of the
building to make it look like a mosque. (Orthodox Christianity Wiki,
2/11/2007)
 The
Muslim Claim to Jerusalem (Daniel Pipes, Middle East Quarterly,
Fall 2001): "Jerusalem appears in the Jewish Bible 669
times and Zion (which usually means Jerusalem, sometimes the Land
of Israel) 154 times, or 823 times in all. The Christian Bible mentions
Jerusalem 154 times and Zion 7 times. In contrast, the columnist
Moshe Kohn notes, Jerusalem and Zion appear as frequently in the
Qur'an "as they do in the Hindu Bhagavad-Gita, the Taoist Tao-Te
Ching, the Buddhist Dhamapada and the Zoroastrian Zend Avesta"-which
is to say, not once."

The
Koran and the Jews (Interview with Prof. Khaleel Mohammed, FrontPageMagazine.com,

The Koran and the Jews, Israel, Jerusalem,
Palestine, Palestinians:
Jewish people mentioned 44 times in the Koran
Land of Israel promised to the Jews in the Koran
Palestine and Palestinian people never mentioned in the Koran
Jerusalem never mentioned in the Koran
Muslim rulers never made Jerusalem to their capital
During the Jordanian occupation of Jerusalem (1948-1967) the capital
remained Amman
The All-Palestinian Government, founded in 1948 by Arab League and
recognized by some Arab states, operated in Gaza, not in Jerusalem
Al-Quds
(Jerusalem in Arabic) is an abbreviation for "The [Jewish]
Temple"
Not
a single mosque existed in Jerusalem during Muhammad's lifetime;

How
does one differentiate between militant and moderate Islam?
(Daniel Pipes, 11/26/2003)
Organization
of the Islamic Conference (OIC) official website, Sep 6, 2003:
"... is an inter-governmental
organization grouping fifty-six States. These States decided to
pool their resources together, combine their efforts ... in absolute
priority, with liberating Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa from Zionist occupation."
Islamic
Sharia justice:chopped
off hand and foot of "convict", 1998
(Revolutionary
Association of the Women of Afghanistan - RAWA, Feb 7, 2006)
Sharia
(Encyclopaedia Britannica): "Legal and moral code of Islam,
systematized in the early centuries of the Muslim era (8th–9th
century AD). It rests on four bases: the Quran; the sunna, as recorded
in the Hadith; ijma, or universal agreement; and qiya, or analogical
reasoning. Sharia differs fundamentally
from Western law in that it purports to be grounded in divine revelation.
Among modern Muslim countries, Saudi Arabia
and Iran retain Sharia as the law of the land, secular as well as
religious, but the Westernized civil codes of most other Muslim
countries have departed from its precepts when this was deemed unavoidable.
Most Islamic fundamentalist groups
insist that Muslim countries should be governed by Sharia."
Hadith
(Encyclopaedia Britannica): "... the spoken traditions
attributed to the Prophet Muhammad , which are revered and received
in Islam as a major source of religious law and moral guidance.
The development of Hadith was a vital element during the first three
centuries of Islamic history, and its study provides a broad index
to the mind and ethos of Islam."
Human
Rights and Human Wrongs. Sharia can’t be an exception to international
human-rights norms. (David Littman, NRO, Jan 19, 2003):
"The principal aim of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human
Rights (UDHR) was to create a framework for a universal code based
on mutual consent."
Extreme
Sharia (Center for Religious Freedom/Freedom House, Mar-Jun 2002
Newsletter): "In its most recent survey on the state of
political freedom and civil liberties around the world, Freedom
House found that there is a dramatic, expanding gap in the levels
of freedom and democracy between Islamic countries and the rest
of the world. Only 11 of the world's 47 Muslim
countries can be categorized as "democracies." This means
that a non-Islamic state is more than three times more likely to
be democratic as an Islamic state. There
are no electoral democracies at all among the 16 Arabic states of
the Middle East and northern Africa. There is
an even more dramatic freedom gap between majority Islamic countries
and the rest of the world. In countries
with a Muslim majority, there is just one Free country,
Mali, while 18 are rated Partly Free and 28 are Not Free. Of
the ten lowest ranking countries in civil liberties, most are Muslim.
This defies the trend in the rest
of the world with 2001 being a high water mark for democracy and
freedom in general. The Center for Religious
Freedom's own survey on religious freedom found that the
religious areas with the largest current restrictions on religious
freedom are the Islamic countries. In July,
the UN released its "Arab Development Report" validating
our findings and warning that Arab
societies are being crippled by a lack of political freedom, repression
of women and intellectual isolation. One statistic that stands out:
In the last 1,000 years the whole Arab world translated as many
books as Spain does in one year. Another is the fact that half of
Arab women are illiterate."
Do
you believe in modernity? (Daniel Pipes, JP, Nov 26, 2003):
"If militant Islam is the
problem and moderate Islam is the solution,
... how does one differentiate
between these two forms of Islam?"

What
the Koran says about Israel and Jerusalem (Israel Today, Dec 16,
2002): "The Jewish claim to the Land of Israel is based
on the Word of God-the Bible. But is the Arab-Moslem claim to the
same Land based on the Islamic holy book-the Koran? Is there anything
written in the Koran about the relationship of the Jews to the Land
of Israel? israel today's editor-in-chief, Aviel Schneider, speaks
with a Jew, a Moslem and a Christian in an attempt to find out."
The
Jewish Temple (Arab-American journalist Joseph Farah, WND, August
14, 2003: "Not only are Arafat's minions in Jerusalem today
attempting to rewrite the history of Arabs and Jews in the region
as told by others, they are attempting to rewrite the history of
Arabs and Jews in the region as told by Arabs."
Challenging
the Qur’an. A German scholar contends that the Islamic text
has been mistranscribed and promises raisins, not virgins (Newsweek,
Jul 28, 2003): "Such interpretations will undoubtedly draw
the ire of many Muslims—and not just extremists. After all,
revisionist scholars have been persecuted for much less; in 2001,
Egypt’s Constitutional Court confirmed the “apostasy”
of former University of Cairo scholar Nasr Hamid Abu-Zayd, for considering
the Qur’an a document written by humans."
 This
is not Islam (Paris based Iranian journalist Amir Taheri, The New
York Post, Aug 15, 2003): "Muslim
women could easily check the fraudulent nature of the neo-Islamist
hijab by leafing through their family albums. They will not find
the picture of a single female ancestor of theirs who wore the cursed
headgear now marketed as an absolute "must" of Islam.
This fake Islamic hijab is nothing but a political prop, a weapon
of visual terrorism. It is the symbol of a totalitarian ideology
inspired more by Nazism and Communism than by Islam. It is as symbolic
of Islam as the Mao uniform was of Chinese civilization. It is used
as a means of exerting pressure on Muslim women who do not wear
it because they do not share the sick ideology behind it. It is
a sign of support for extremists who wish to impose their creed,
first on Muslims, and then on the world through psychological pressure,
violence, terror, and, ultimately, war."
The
Study of Political Islam (Jamie Glazov, FP, Feb 5, 2007)
Trouble
in the Holy Land (WorldNetDaily)
AT
WAR. Blind Faith. Muslims, like Jews and Christians, must own up
to problems in their holy book (Canadian-Iranian author Irshad Manji,
Wall Street Journal, May 20, 2004): " ... religion is no
innocent bystander in the violence perpetrated by Muslims. ... modern
Muslims ought to come clean about how our sacred script informs
terror. One can argue that certain passages are being politically
exploited--and, indeed, they are. The point is, however, that they
couldn't be exploited if they didn't exist. We shouldn't underestimate
the impact of this Koranic loophole, which reads, "except as
punishment for murder or other villainy in the land." Osama
bin Laden had it in mind when he announced a jihad against America
in the late 1990s."
