Rep. Andre Carson “said he believes the billboard is untrue and that the billboard’s author takes Islamic text and history out of context ‘just like al-Qaeda, ISIS and the Klan do to religious texts to justify their bigotry.'”
“Untrue” is not the same thing as “out of context,” and of course the latter is the tried-and-true dodge of Islamic supremacists when presented with uncomfortable passages of the Qur’an and Sunnah. Notice also Carson’s invocation of “al-Qaeda, ISIS and the Klan.” Two are international jihad terror organizations that have mounted murderous jihad attacks all over the world and continue to be global threats. The other is a tiny organization of nuts that would get no notice at all were it not for its usefulness to the Leftist establishment. Carson is trying to give the impression that, as we hear so often, every religion has its “extremists,” and so Islamic jihad terrorism really isn’t all that unusual.
“Faryal Khatri, a spokeswoman for the Indianapolis-based Islamic Society of North America, said not only is the billboard not true, it is hurtful to her as a practicing Muslim. To Khatri, the most disappointing aspect of the sign is that it could incite hate crimes toward Muslims or people perceived to be Muslim.”
This also is a tired, overused Islamic supremacist tactic: claim that any counterterror effort, and any truthful examination of the motivating ideology behind jihad terror, will lead to innocent Muslims being attacked, and must therefore be curtailed. If this demand were always heeded, nothing would or could be done against jihad terrorists, for fear of inciting violence against peaceful Muslims, and the jihadis could advance unopposed and unimpeded.
Now: are the billboard’s claims really untrue?
1. Married 6-year-old: Few aspects of Islam that contradict Western laws and principles of human rights are more abundantly attested in Islamic law than the permissibility of child marriage. Islamic tradition records that Muhammad’s favorite wife, Aisha, was six when Muhammad wedded her and nine when he consummated the marriage: “The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death)” (Sahih Bukhari 7.62.88).
Another tradition has Aisha herself recount the scene: “The Prophet engaged me when I was a girl of six (years). We went to Medina and stayed at the home of Bani-al-Harith bin Khazraj. Then I got ill and my hair fell down. Later on my hair grew (again) and my mother, Um Ruman, came to me while I was playing in a swing with some of my girl friends. She called me, and I went to her, not knowing what she wanted to do to me. She caught me by the hand and made me stand at the door of the house. I was breathless then, and when my breathing became all right, she took some water and rubbed my face and head with it. Then she took me into the house. There in the house I saw some Ansari women who said, ‘Best wishes and Allah’s Blessing and a good luck.’ Then she entrusted me to them and they prepared me (for the marriage). Unexpectedly Allah’s Apostle came to me in the forenoon and my mother handed me over to him, and at that time I was a girl of nine years of age. (Sahih Bukhari 5.58.234). Muhammad was at this time fifty-four years old.
2. Slave owner & dealer: the Qur’an has Allah telling Muhammad that he has given him girls as sex slaves: “Prophet, We have made lawful to you the wives to whom you have granted dowries and the slave girls whom God has given you as booty.” (Qur’an 33:50)Muhammad bought slaves: “Jabir (Allah be pleased with him) reported: There came a slave and pledged allegiance to Allah’s Apostle (may peace be upon him) on migration; he (the Holy Prophet) did not know that he was a slave. Then there came his master and demanded him back, whereupon Allah’s Apostle (may peace be upon him) said: Sell him to me. And he bought him for two black slaves, and he did not afterwards take allegiance from anyone until he had asked him whether he was a slave (or a free man).” (Muslim 3901)Muhammad took female Infidel captives as slaves: “Narrated Anas: The Prophet offered the Fajr Prayer near Khaibar when it was still dark and then said, ‘Allahu-Akbar! Khaibar is destroyed, for whenever we approach a (hostile) nation (to fight), then evil will be the morning for those who have been warned.’ Then the inhabitants of Khaibar came out running on the roads. The Prophet had their warriors killed, their offspring and woman taken as captives. Safiya was amongst the captives. She first came in the share of Dahya Alkali but later on she belonged to the Prophet. The Prophet made her manumission as her ‘Mahr.’” (Bukhari 5.59.512) Mahr is bride price: Muhammad freed her and married her. But he didn’t do this to all his slaves:Muhammad owned slaves: “Narrated Anas bin Malik: Allah’s Apostle was on a journey and he had a black slave called Anjasha, and he was driving the camels (very fast, and there were women riding on those camels). Allah’s Apostle said, ‘Waihaka (May Allah be merciful to you), O Anjasha! Drive slowly (the camels) with the glass vessels (women)!’” (Sahih Bukhari 8.73.182) There is no mention of Muhammad’s freeing Anjasha.
3. Rapist: “The Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) sent a military expedition to Awtas on the occasion of the battle of Hunain. They met their enemy and fought with them. They defeated them and took them captives. Some of the Companions of the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) were reluctant to have intercourse with the female captives in the presence of their husbands who were unbelievers. So Allah, the Exalted, sent down the Qur’anic verse: (Sura 4:24) ‘And all married women (are forbidden) unto you save those (captives) whom your right hands possess.'” (Sunan Abu Dawud 2150; see also Sahih Muslim 3433)”O Allah’s Apostle! We get female captives as our share of booty, and we are interested in their prices, what is your opinion about coitus interruptus?” The Prophet said, “Do you really do that? It is better for you not to do it. No soul that which Allah has destined to exist, but will surely come into existence.” (Sahih Bukhari 34:432)“I drove them along until I brought them to Abu Bakr who bestowed that girl upon me as a prize. So we arrived in Medina. I had not yet disrobed her when the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) met me in the street and said: ‘Give me that girl.’” (Sahih Muslim 4345)
4. Beheaded 600 Jews in one day: Muhammad’s first biographer, Ibn Ishaq, recounts that Muhammad entrusted the fate of the tribe to the Muslim warrior Sa’d bin Mu’adh, who decreed: “I give the judgment that their warriors should be killed and their children and women should be taken as captives.” Muhammad exclaimed: “O Sa’d! You have judged among them with the judgment of the King Allah.” According to Ibn Ishaq, “The apostle went out to the market of Medina (which is still its market today) and dug trenches in it. Then he sent for [the men of the Qurayzah] and struck off their heads in those trenches as they were brought out to him in batches.” Ibn Ishaq puts the number of those massacred at “600 or 700 in all, though some put the figure as high as 800 or 900.” (Ibn Ishaq 464) Ibn Sa’d says “they were between six hundred and seven hundred in number.” (Ibn Sa’d, vol. II, 93).
5. 13 wives, 11 at a time: “Narrated Qatada: Anas bin Malik said, ‘The Prophet used to visit all his wives in a round, during the day and night and they were eleven in number.’ I asked Anas, ‘Had the Prophet the strength for it?’ Anas replied, ‘We used to say that the Prophet was given the strength of thirty (men).’ And Sa’id said on the authority of Qatada that Anas had told him about nine wives only (not eleven).” (Sahih Bukhari 1.5.268)
6. Tortured and killed unbelievers: “When Muhammad saw Hamzah he said, ‘If Allah gives me victory over the Quraysh at any time, I shall mutilate thirty of their men!’ When the Muslims saw the rage of the Prophet they said, ‘By Allah, if we are victorious over them, we shall mutilate them in a way which no Arab has ever mutilated anybody.” (Al-Tabari, vol. 7, p. 133; cf. Ibn Ishaq 387)
“Anas reported: Eight men of the tribe of ‘Ukl came to Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) and swore allegiance to him on Islam, but found the climate of that land uncongenial to their health and thus they became sick, and they made complaint of that to Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him), and he said: Why don’t you go to (the fold) of our camels along with our shepherd, and make use of their milk and urine. They said: Yes. They set out and drank their (camels’) milk and urine and regained their health. They killed the shepherd and drove away the camels. This (news) reached Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) and he sent them on their track and they were caught and brought to him (the Holy Prophet). He commanded about them, and (thus) their hands and feet were cut off and their eyes were gouged and then they were thrown in the sun, until they died.” (Sahih Muslim 4131)
Muhammad, according to Islamic tradition, didn’t just justify torture. He ordered it: “Kinana b. al-Rabi`, who had the custody of the treasure of B. al-Nadir, was brought to the apostle who asked him about it. He denied that he knew where it was. A Jew came (T. was brought) to the apostle and said that he had seen Kinana going round a certain ruin every morning early. When the apostle said to Kinana, ‘Do you know that if we find you have it I shall kill you?’ he said Yes. The apostle gave orders that the ruin was to be excavated and some of the treasure was found. When he asked him about the rest he refused to produce it, so the apostle gave orders to al-Zubayr b. al-Awwam, ‘Torture him until you extract what he has,’ so he kindled a fire with flint and steel on his chest until he was nearly dead. Then the apostle delivered him to Muhammad b. Maslama and he struck off his head, in revenge for his brother Mahmud.” (Ibn Ishaq 515).
Also, this billboard doesn’t mention Muhammad or Islam. If these charges are false regarding Muhammad, then why are Muslims so angry about this billboard? Why not just say, “This billboard must be referring to some other prophet”?
Note also the photo that the Indianapolis Star ran of the billboard. Apparently they weren’t capable of taking a clear photo that would enable people to read the text of the billboard easily. Or could it be that they didn’t want people to be able to read it easily, or be accused of “Islamophobia” by spreading this material in reporting on it?
“Muslims ‘outraged’ by billboard that insults prophet Mohammed,” by Fatima Hussein and Justin L. Mack, Indianapolis Star, June 6, 2017:
INDIANAPOLIS — An anti-Muslim billboard disparaging the prophet Mohammed that can be seen from an Indiana highway on the east side of Indianapolis is drawing concern from local Muslims.
Now, Islamic leaders in Indianapolis are challenging those responsible for what they say are offensive and untrue statements to stand by their words, shed their anonymity and explain their motivations.
“It is a horrible billboard. I’m outraged by it, but saddened at the same time … and I would like to know who is behind it,” said Rima Shahid, executive director of the Muslim Alliance of Indiana. “It seems very cowardly to me. If you have some kind of stance, you should want to stand up next to your statement. I didn’t think there was any room for hate in our city. This billboard tells me otherwise.
“This kind of rhetoric just furthers division in our state and makes a neighbor question a neighbor, just like I am today.”
Shahid said the billboard, which she saw on southbound Interstate 465, was brought to her attention Friday by an anonymous tipster.
The all black billboard has a headline of “The Perfect Man.” Underneath are six bullet points to describe that man. These points include “married a 6-year-old,” “slave owner & dealer” and “13 wives, 11 at one time.”
At the bottom of the billboard in yellow sits the words “Educate Truthophobes.” A search of Truthophobes online leads to multiple anti-Muslim groups, specifically an Australian group with similar messaging.
U.S. Rep. Andre Carson, D-Indianapolis, said he believes the billboard is untrue and that the billboard’s author takes Islamic text and history out of context “just like al-Qaeda, ISIS and the Klan do to religious texts to justify their bigotry.”
Faryal Khatri, a spokeswoman for the Indianapolis-based Islamic Society of North America, said not only is the billboard not true, it is hurtful to her as a practicing Muslim.
To Khatri, the most disappointing aspect of the sign is that it could incite hate crimes toward Muslims or people perceived to be Muslim….
Jaladhi says
Perfect billboard to spread the truth about “perfect” evil man of Islam!!
mortimer says
Agree: ‘PERFECT BILLBOARD’.
Truthophobes are guilty of sloth, because IGNORANCE of JIHAD in the internet era is not the absence of knowledge, but the REFUSAL TO ACQUIRE IT.
TRUTHOPHOBES ARE VERY LAZY PEOPLE.

Notice that one of the writers for this news article is “Fatima Hussein” — which sounds Muslim to me.
So, can we reasonably conclude the whoever is on the assignment desk made sure a reporter would be innately biased?
Michael Copeland says
Notice how the claim is made that this is “disparaging the prophet Mohammed”.
Be careful, Fatima. You assert that Mohammed’s actions, as recorded in Islam’s revered sources, “disparage” him. This, in Sharia, is blasphemy, which is punished by death, vigilante-style and penalty-free.
Where O where is the sign “anti-muslim”? There is no mention of it.
jihad3tracker says
Hello again, Mr. Copeland —
Anyone who has a basic grasp of psychology knows that the most incendiary way to upset the vast majority of adults is to expose uncomfortable truths about their religion.
Thus, either in media (print + web) or “the public square”, poop is REALLY going to hit the fan, as an old cliché goes.
When a U.S. Muslim suddenly becomes devout, assaulting or killing an Infidel, I will bet many dollars against stale doughnuts that this billboard is going to be used as the provocation.
jihad3tracker says
Unfortunately, Robert’s hotlink goes to piece-of-excrement USA Today, with its extremely heave traffic and clickbait script ads.
Here is a direct path to the original Indianapolis source:
http://www.indystar.com/story/news/2017/06/05/indianapolis-muslims-call-out-creators-local-billboard-insults-prophet-muhammad/370969001/
Because there will be so many “outraged” commenters and locals (who are already assembling to say how insulted they are), how about all of us who can spare 10 minutes send the inconvenient reality to that newspaper OR one of the local TV stations there that has coverage of this.
You probably should keep remarks very short, and a good way to do that is just state that everything on the billboard is factual — and then give a link to Robert’s post above.

Just whose prophet is “the prophet Mohammed?” He certainly is not in any of my lists.
Westman says
Just so we can get the context right, would some Indiana Muslim, or perhaps a WaPo or NYT journalist who has never read the Quran, explain why there is a chapter (Sura) titled, “BOOTY”, and how Muhammad is related to it.
This is not the booty mentioned in Rap Music, just in case you’re unaware.
Crenatia D. says
The truth is the truth and they forgot to add that islamists are encouraged to lie with impunity to any and all infidels and it is considered a sacred lie. So, every time a muslim pretends to be peaceful or wants everyone to think they are not excited about killing westerners or infidels,
go read the Quran and know they are lying.

Thanks to the Internet, muslims can now read online the first biography of Muhammad, by the devout muslim Ibn Ishaq:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibn_Ishaq
If you read the biography, you will understand why so-called “extremists” do what they do (they are copying Muhammad), and why so many muslims are leaving Islam now they are finding out the truth.
Muhammad orders his son-in-law Ali, to behead Al-Nadr bin al-Harith on page 136.
Muhammad approves the stabbing of Uqba bin Abu Muayt on page 308.
Muhammad arranges the beheading of Kab bin al-Ashraf on page 364-9.
Muhammad personally beheads over 600 Jewish prisoners of war on page 464
Muhammad orders the torturing of treasurer of Khaybar tribe, Kinana on page 515
Muhammad orders the killing of Abdullah bin Katal’s and one of his singing-girls on page 550-1
Muhammad approves the murder of Asma bint Marwan on page 675-6.
Muhammad arranges the assassination of the old man Abu Afak on page 675.
Muhammad approves the murder of an old one-eyed Bedouin man, by Amr bin Umayya, one of his Jihadist thugs on page 674-5.

Ciudadano says
And there are many more killings ordered or supported by Mohamed:
https://wikiislam.net/wiki/List_of_Killings_Ordered_or_Supported_by_Muhammad
What enrages Muslims is that they try so hard to keep these unconvinient facts about Mohamed under the carpet. That’s is why they insist so much on imposing blasphemy laws or labeling people as “Islamophobic”, to hide the horrible truth about their false prophet. They know no decent human being could accept Mohamed was a good person or even more a prophet.
mortimer says
Thank you for the lists. Would everyone reading this post, please send those lists to at least one person?
einherrjar says
truth hurts, if you’re a liar.
mortimer says
The unpleasant, AMORAL, OPPORTUNISTIC character of Mohammed revealed in the Sira and hadiths is the GREATES LIABILITY to Islam.
No reasonable person can accept that Mohammed was a prophet of a god. Mohammed is the epitome of an opportunistic cult leader, someone who had no conscience or empathy for his victims and almost no empathy even for his followers.
Aisha said about Mohammed, ‘His eye wept for no one.’
Michael Copeland says
“Of all men, I hated the prophet the most—for he killed my husband, my brother, and my father,”
Muhammad “married” Safiya hours after he had her husband, Kinana, tortured to death in order to reveal hidden treasure. And before this, the prophet’s jihadis slaughtered Safiya’s father and brothers.

Islam and/or Mohammad are not mentioned on the Billboard. How can they be blamed for blaspheming the “profit” or “religion” when it is not even named?
mortimer says
Muslims consider it ‘slander’ when you tell established facts about someone if the person doesn’t wish those facts to be known.
Everything on the billboard is true, but Muslims do not wish anyone to reveal Mohammed’s imperfections. The cannot say that even ONE of the facts on the billboard is false. They can only badmouth the person who posted it. That is an ‘ad hominem’ fallacy and it is NOT an argument.
Mohammed’s amoral character is the GREATEST LIABILITY to Muslims.
Greyhound Fancier says
That billboard is brilliant. To the ignorant, it means nothing. To the Muslim, it insults their “prophet”.

By complaining about the billboard, muslims are admitting that everything listed is true.

Neither the word “Mohammad” nor “Islam” appears in the billboard, but everyone, including everyone, KNEW who was being talked about.
Robert, progress is being made! Great credit goes to you for your educational efforts.
El Cid says
Emilie, I like the positive thinking.
And, the Muslims drew attention to it. And, no don’t the analysis of Mr. Spencer will appear in various forms and discussions.

Open admission and discussion of Islamic terrorism is now hitting the mainstream.
The Leftarded smokescreen ‘NARRATIVE’ of ‘peaceful Islam’ is generally not believed since the attacks in UK on parliament, Ariana Grande and Tower Bridge.
The ‘peaceful Islam’ narrative is OFFICIALLY FINISHED.

There’s a story over at LI. Courtney Love is taking Linda Sarsour (with the emphasis on the “sour” part) to the wood shed, making things uncomfortable for that disagreeable Muslima,

Read the comments. Some Americans are waking up to Islam. And as noted, talk about Islam, its practices, and Muslims are becoming more and more common. Which is very much to the good. And as the truth about Islam is coming out, Muslims are finding things not to their liking.

Why are they insulted? Not once on the billboard does it mention Muhammad, Islam, or the Quran. How did they know whom the billboard was speaking of? If they know who the billboard was calling out, then they know the truth! They are just trying to deceive the Kafirs.
Michael Copeland says
Note the deflection device “This kind of rhetoric”. It is used in order to disparage the quality of the statement.
No, dear. Recital of facts – from your own sources – is not “rhetoric”.

Given as several other posters have pointed out that neither islam or moo ham head is mentioned. 1 How do they know what it is about to be able to say it is untrue? 2. How is it hurtful to a practicing muslim if it neither mentions islam or moo ham head? 3. The point about beheading 600 Jews…. how is that suddenly hurtful to muslims? 4. WHY is it that the default victims according to muslims of any documented fact about islam or moo ham head or the animalistic behaviour of its followers towards innocent people world wide are muslims themselves? To me it is like dealing with a bunch of spoiled children or narcissistic teenagers…. the small difference being of course that the latter do not see indiscriminate murder as a way to put forward their views.
wm1 says
What’s all the fuss? Are Muslims trying to conceal or deceive the truth about their leader? If so, why? Are many of them learning about who he really was for the first time, on a billboard? My guess is yes.
This is not the guy our schools, universities, military, politicians, etc. are being led to honor, name their children after and ascribe reverence to on a daily basis. Shame on them for telling the truth!
miriamrove says
Of course Muslims are outraged and deeply offended by thi truth. F…em. m
mortimer says
“SLANDER” ACCORDING TO SHARIA
The word “slander” has a substantially different sense in sharia than in contemporary English usage. We use the word to indicate that you have said something that is substantially untrue about someone or something in such a way as to damage their reputation.
In sharia, the word translated as “slander” is the Arabic word ghiba. It means to say anything about someone that they do not like, even though it is true.
I challenge Muslims to refute one of the facts on the billboard. Every claim on the billboard is factual.
Norger says
Correct. What’s striking about this to me is that the MSM (Indy Star et al) simply accepts the statements of Andre Carson et al (“these things are false and hateful”) at face value. There’s an obvious factual disagreement here, and anyone with an iPhone can find out for themselves whether these assertions are true or not. If you’re going to run a story on this billboard and quote Muslims as saying these statements are false, shouldn’t you as a journalist want to inform your readers as to whether there’s any truth to these statements? Why publish this story otherwise? The real truth is that the MSM is afraid to conduct an intellectually honest inquiry as to what Islamic theology actually says about “the perfect man.” What this story is really saying is that it’s wrong for non-Muslims to point these things out, whether true or not. It is forbidden to speak of such things. Dhimmitude,
David M says
Oops, the cat is out of the bag! Be good if this went to court, then every point could be verified one at a time by their very own Islamic texts, how embarrassing.
Barguest says
It would indeed be wonderful if this went to court, but somehow I don’t see muslims, and their progressive water carriers, taking that risk. You’re lucky you have your 1st amendment (supported by the 2nd of course), here in the UK such a billboard would never see the light of day. Sadly I’m living in a country where the truth must be ruthlessly suppressed if it’s inconvenient to our media and political elites.

Muslims cannot REFUTE the Billboard

“Muslims enraged by billboard telling truth about Muhammad”
As the late, great Andrew Breitbart used to say…
SO?
Let ’em be enraged. Facts don’t care about your feelings. (Stolen from the equally great, but not yet late, Ben Shapiro.)
The truth about this death cult NEEDS to be shared and seen! Non-Muslims need to see it. But even more important Muslims (especially the so-called peaceful ones) need to be held to account on this issue. They need to be confronted with these facts so that they can then answer why they follow such an evil man as Mohammad.
For any Muslims here, why do you follow this evil man, Mohammad?
Infidel B says
Can we raise money to install these nationwide?
I’d remove the “Educate Truthophobes” from the bottom, so there is absolutely NO reference to anyone or any religion.
Let people google the stated facts and discover who it is talking about.
Much more effective that way, it’ll be self-discovery, not seen as simply propaganda on the face of it – let their curiosity figure it out instead of assuming it is lies.
Charli Main says
Everything we know about Mad Mohammed of Mecca comes from Islamic sources and texts.
To the best of my knowledge, there are no contemporary Christian or Jewish sources that record the activities of this nut job.
One can only wonder, just how much of the horrors perpetrated by this psychopath were covered up or expunged from Islamic texts.

Destroy Mohammed and you destroy Islam. So, I would like to see hundreds if not thousands of such a billboard across the landscape of America.

Absolutely. We need to have a public dialogue regarding Muhammad, his acts and deeds. I’d contribute to one of these billboards. There should be successive billboards as we have a lot of material to cover.
Dajjal says
Open the fourth volume of Sahih Bukhari and make note of the smoking gun ahadith incl.: “my provision is placed under the shade of my spear” and “I have been made victorious with terror.”
Imagine the effect of this qoute from Hedaya, 2.141 on a billboard: “Destruction of the sword is incurred by Infidels although they be not the first aggressors”.
There is another one that says every Muslim must be an object of terror to infidels.
Barry says
In ALL ACTUALITY….there REALLY was and IS a REAL PERFECT MAN….he was and is Jesus of Nazareth Amen!!!……If (and Robert Spencer acknowledges the validity of the question whether Mohammed actually existed – which in practical terms really doesn’t matter) Mohammed actually lived, and did all that is attributed to him…..then he was in actuality the 100% antithesis of perfection; Mohammed was the manifestation of pure evil. Perfection IS JESUS as defined by God’s holy word…. Christ is perfection….So a new billboard should be erected that states who…’The Perfect Man’ really is……Our beloved Lord and Savior Jesus….
awake says
This is good. This should be encouraged. The faster one can get to a true historical literary comparison of Mohammed and Christ, the quicker the myth of a peaceful Islam can be completely dispelled.
Daniel says
If there is anything on the billboards that is false and deceiving – take it down.
If what is on the sign is accurate and true – leave it up.
If you fear the truth remember: “The truth shall set you free.”
Think about it.
Guest says
It’s not an insult it’s the truth
Heather says
Muslims enraged – full stop. They’re enraged from birth because they’re brought up a diet of negative, evil, nasty rubbish about a stupid Mohamad idiot. Tortured and teased into submission. No wonder they’re enraged.
No forgiveness in I slam. No joy in I slam. No love in I slam. Fear and hate is their diet. I slam is filth.
Cretius says
Yes, Muslims are offended by the truth of the facts of their belief system, especially when unbelievers know the truth.
Heather says
That sign is brilliant. It makes NO mention of anyone or any ‘religion’.
Sooooooo… if muslims are ASSUMING it’s about old dead Mo, tut tut on them. Do they KNOW what he was like? Oh deary me.
What does that tell us about them?
Heather says
THE PERFECT MAN
WHO could it be ???
John A. Marre says
There’s nothing that Muslims dislike on the board. So how can it be offensive?
The problem is that they don’t want ordinary people to know these things.
Pete Rottier says
I don’t believe Muhammad believed he was the perfect man. Most hadith literature says he apologized to Allah every day. Even Mr. Spencer had not declared him a rapist in his book on Muhammad. Did not Christians kill Jews, often without reason? When Muhammad ordered the execution there was clear evidence that they were plotting against Muhammad with his enemies in Mecca. Didn’t Christians torture and kill unbelievers? What is lacking is clear context, which most of the Muslim world knows but here at jihad watch you are literalists. The Spanish Inquisition? Forced conversions of the Moors? Holocaust? Millions of people throughout Europe, mostly Christians, helped the Nazis with the holocaust, identifying and shipping the Jews to the east for death. You all need to get off your high horses and think a bit before condemning a man who lived in the late 6th and early 7th century.
Wellington says
Your moral relativist thinking is showing more glaringly, Pete Rottier. Your overall ignorance too. When Christians used violence in the name of their religion they were violating the tenets of their faith. By contrast, when Muslims use violence to advance their religion they are fulfilling a major directive of their creed. The difference could not be greater. There are 164 verses in the Koran calling for war to be made upon unbelievers “until all religion is with Allah.” {Sura 8:39} By contrast, there are 0 verses in the New Testament calling upon Christians to wage war to spread Christianity. And any violence condoned in the Old Testament was for one place and time, contra violence in the Koran which is for all time. In short, the OT is often only descriptive while the Koran is always prescriptive.
Also, Jesus has no one harmed or killed. Mohammed had thousands killed or tortured upon his orders, examples being the beheading of some 600 men from the Banu Qurayza tribe in just one day, having a fire built on a man’s chest, his name was Kinana, because he would not reveal where some treasure was, and the condoning of the killing of Asma bint Marwan while she was nursing her baby because she had dared to criticize Mohammed. Mohammed also, how convenient, never had a single sexual desire denied him by Allah, including for nine-year old Aisha and his own daughter-in- law, Zaynab. C’mon.
As for Christians by the millions helping the Nazis with the Holocaust, your charge is baseless and you can provide almost no evidence. Yes, many Christians looked the other way and were thus cowards and a few here and there actively aided the Nazis but betrayed their faith in doing so. But, once again, there is nothing in the Christian theological blueprint which would have directed them to act as such. Next you’ll be telling me because Adolf Hitler was baptized a Roman Catholic he was a Christian too when, in fact, he despised Christianity as his Table Talk unambiguously reveals, and as did all higher level Nazis. Moreover, the papal encyclical Mit Brennender Sorge of 1937 condemned Nazism in very clear terms and Pope Pius XII, working behind the scenes, saved more Jews than any person in history.
We are on a high horse? I don’t think so. We’re on no horse here at JW but “merely” have both feet on the ground. You, by contrast, have your head buried in the sand (or perhaps somewhere else where the sun never shines). Wise up. Oh, btw, just since 9/11 there have been over 30,000 documented Islamic terrorist attacks worldwide. How many Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, etc. attacks in the same time period? Almost zero. Oh yeah, wise up because right now you are functioning in full stupid and pathetic mode.
eduardo odraude says
What he said.
Jack Diamond says
Well “Pete”, Muslim scholars commonly refer to Muhammad as the perfect man, al-Insān al-Kāmil, and their beautiful model of conduct {surah 33:21}, uswa hasana. In Islam, prophets are mansoon, sinless. They may err but do not sin against Allah. Muhammad even more so because he is the Seal of the Prophets.
What is a Muslim, Pete? One who submits, without question to Allah…and his messenger, Muhammad.
Qur’an 4:65 “They can have no faith until they make you (Muhammad) judge in all disputes between themselves and find in themselves no resistance against your decisions, and accept (them) with full submission.” 33:36 “It is not for a believer, man or woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decreed a matter that they should have any option in their decision. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger he has indeed strayed into plain error.” Allah says, if you obey Muhammad you have obeyed me. 4:80 “He who obeys the Messenger has indeed obeyed Allah.”
As you can see what Muhammad said and did are very important. That includes having critics assassinated, marrying a 6 year old and consummating the marriage when she was 9 (Khomeini lowered the marriage age to nine when taking power), allowing his men to have sex with captive women, and declaring warfare on non-Muslim mankind until the Day of Judgment. True Muslims model their conduct on that. Morality in Islam is what Muhammad said and did.
Not only did Muhammad allow rape (sex with captives is rape, you do get that?) he had sex with captive women himself, not to mention with his slaves, who also had no choice in the matter (see Mariyam the Copt, in Tabari v39, 194: “he had intercourse with her by virtue of her being his property”).
You do know what a right hand possession is? Muslim men are told who they are not permitted to have sex with and whom they are permitted, in surah 4:24 to have sex with women whom your right hand possesses. Read the tafsirs, the context of the verse was that some companions of the Apostle were reluctant to have sex with their captive women in front of their husbands, so this verse was handed down to give them permission.
“We captured some women from the area of Awtas who were already married, and we disliked having sexual relations with them because they already had husbands. So, we asked the Prophet about this matter, and this Ayah was revealed, (Also (forbidden are) women already married, except those whom your right hands possess). Consequently, we had sexual relations with these women.”
–Tafsir Ibn Kathir on 4:24
4:3 also refers to sex with captives whom your right hand possesses.
Hughes Dictionary of Islam– ma malakat aimanukum, that which your right hands possess, slaves, captives.
Muslims are permitted to have sex with their captives taken in war. Let that sink in. Then keep in mind Islam is in a state of perpetual war with the kuffar. Then you will understand why, in Islam, it is always open season on kaffir women, absent a conditional dhimmi pact or temporary truce with infidels.
Muhammad took Rayhana, a beautiful married young captive, and made her his sex slave, since she refused to marry him.
Muhammad took the Jewish girl Safiyah for himself, again because of her beauty, after killing her father and husband at Khaybar. That night…THAT NIGHT…she was forced to marry the murderer of her family and spend the night in his tent. Despite Muslims pretending she was so glad to be Muhammad’s, the hadiths tell another story: “the Apostle passed the night with her in a tent of his. Abu Ayyub passed the night girt with his sword, guarding the Apostle and going around the tent until morning. The Apostle saw him and asked what he meant by his action. He replied ‘I was afraid for you with this woman, for you have killed her father and husband and her people.” (Ibn Ishaq 516-517).
The Muslim model of conduct and perfection allowed his soldiers to rape their captive females, then he did the same, sometimes with a coerced marriage, sometimes just taking a concubine. He also made an example of looting and murder, child marriage and pedophilia. Did Jesus Christ? (since you insist on false equivalences).
Oh, and Jew hate. And hatred of Christians. And then of all unbelievers altogether. And then of hypocrite (bad) Muslims. Hate sanctioning their murder. You don’t need to be on a high horse to condemn that, but then again how high does your horse need to be to be way up above such evil and lowliness?

Muhammad affirms that those who do not follow him will be slaughtered
On page 222 (326 in the Arabic) of the earliest Muslim biography of Muhammad:
saturnine says
There’s a profound difference between followers of a prophet committing atrocities in his name in and spite of his example, and the prophet himself doing it. The former is self-extinguishing, the latter is self-perpetuating.
Carolyne says
While it is true that many people were persecuted and even killed by Christians for religions reasons, the point you don’t seem to understand is that that has not happened for centuries, whereas Muslims are living the same as they did in 600 AD and insist they will never change. Their murdering ways are part and parcel of that so-called religion and must be eliminated.
eagle says
What enrages Muslims is that they try so hard to keep these inconvinient facts about Mohamed under the carpet. That’s is why they insist so much on imposing blasphemy laws or labeling people as “Islamophobic”, to hide the horrible truth about their false prophet. They know no decent human being could accept Mohamed was a good person or even more a prophet.
A good practicing Muslim knows the Koran, Sharia Law and the Hadith all require complete submission to Islam, which is antithetical to the US government, the Constitution, and the Republic. All Muslims who attest that the Koran is their life’s guiding principal subscribe to submission to Islam and its form of government.
No Fear says
The revelations of Hitler arranging to gas Jews and hang people with piano wire are hurtful to me as a practising Nazi. Nazis have feelings too you know. Everyone knows that Hitler is a perfect example for mankind. He says so in his own book. Why doesn’t everyone just accept that?
(sarc)
Carolyne says
Maybe it should be illegal to say something hurtful to Nazis as it is in England to say something which might hurt the tender feeling of a Muslim–especially while he is mowing people down with a van or stabbing them..
Monty says
How could Muslims possibly work out that it was Mohamed? I mean, he was the “perfect man”. Surely the man depicted is far from perfect. Unless of course you are a Muslim. That is your standard of perfection. Now you know why anyone with even a modicum of intelligence and sense rejects Islam and everything to do with it. Hopefully the very outcry by Muslims will demonstrate the true and despicable nature of their beliefs. “The guilty flee when no man pursueth……….”
Dajjal says
“Truthophobes”~”Islamophobes”.
Monty says
Good on you Barry. So many so-called Christians are blind to the real nature of Islam. While Archbishops and Cardinals cosy up to Islam, their own people are being murdered by the followers of the “religion of peace”. Surely these are the last days!
CaoMoo says
Been a way for a while needed a break. Great article to come back to.
Donald R Laster Jr says
Islamics don’t like it when the facts about the behavior of the revere is reported accurately and exposed the deviant behaviors they practice due to being told the deviant behavior is acceptable.
Baucent says
A genuine news organization would examine the six claims to see whether there is any historical or documented evidence to the claims. But the media won’t do that as they know they will find scholars and Islamic experts who can point to exactly what Robert has just detailed.
I think it’s a clever billboard. Muhammed’s name is not mentioned but it provokes the reader to examine his character.
Paul Wheeler says
I emailed the local CBS affiliate twice after they refused to show the text of the sign in air, and did not check into the falsity or veracity of the claims. Needless to say I’ve heard nothing back.
But the poor Muslima saying how awful the billboard was got lots of air time.
Indianapolis is also where the Airport Authority on its own used public funds to set up ritual foot cleaning drains in the new terminal, violating the “separation of church and state” progressives and the ACLU complain about constantly when Christian, Jews ir other religions are concerned. The ACLU didn’t raise a peep about the foot baths, the hypocrites.
Kay says
Answer to those objecting:
the truth shall set you free.
Matthieu Baudin says
The U.K. agencies would go into meltdown, followed by a months long gnashing of teeth, if that sign were to be displayed alongside a major motorway. The U.S. is a much more robust and healthy society.
eduardo odraude says
For now. And the First Amendment might save us in future. Europe and the U.K. need a First Amendment equivalent.
Islam the religion of killers says
So where is the reference to Muslims,
all that billboard mentions is Jews,
the fact they are Muslims is in their imagination ,,,,,,,,,
Carolyne says
This complaining Muslima must be confused. Where does the billboard say it is describing Mohammed? Why does she assume it is? Could it be because there is truth in it?
Aye Mok Mann says
When you don’t name names, the guilty or complicit will do it for you.
More Ham Ed says
Robert’s 1. through 6. detailed responses above would be great to print-out and either hand-out to people or keep in ‘yer pocket as a reference, if I could get my printer working.

Wyatt says
I’ve read at least a dozen mainstream media accounts of this event. Not a single one of them printed even one person who agreed with the billboard. Not a single story bothered to investigate the truth of the claims, other than to quote Muslim denials.
The press corps obviously isn’t clueless; it is deliberately giving aid and comfort to the jihad.
eduardo odraude says
People are afraid.
This is part of why:
http://www.quotingislam.blogspot.com
Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
What is unusual about this billboard is how uninformative it is. Who is this “perfect man”? It’s probably the Scientology god Xenu. And who paid for this billboard? Maybe the sponsor thought the term “truthophobes” would get people to look it up online. Well, this trick worked on me:
http://www.truthophobes.com/about
It’s a group who want to “Expose the incompatibilities of an unreformed Islam with the Australian culture!”
But what a strange term to call themselves: “truthophobes”, people who have an inordinate fear of the truth. Maybe “truthophiles” was already taken.
Kay says
Very interesting.
The completely uninformed would have no idea– might even suspect it was antisemitic.
Perhaps it is actually directed at Mohammedens, hoping they’ll learn the truth of their creed?
TH says
The notion that Islam can be reformed is pie in the sky. If the Koran is considered the very eternal word of Allah and it declares itself perfect, and of course, that Mahommed is the perfect man. How can it be reformed. It just has to be dumped into the garbage heap of history. If a few try to reform it, they will be called heretics and hypocrites and could have their heads chopped off.
Alexander says
A smart move to diguise Mo and his followers…
Lor says
We had two wonderful Dobermans named Mosby (I and II) “Mo” for short. Could we add an ‘h’ on the end so as not to dishonor these fine canines? BTW – in jest.
Warren says
This is a strange case as the sign does not say anything about Muslims Arabs or prophets. So I am wondering why Muslims are upset. Could it be that they know this is in reference to the false prophet Muhammad. They must know the billboard is true that’s what they are so upset. The truth is hurting them, I wish i had the money to put one up in the UK, London maybe.
Eyes Open says
All these facts about mo ham head come from their own sources so are they offended by their own sources. Truth is confronting.
FYI says
Do muslims know about Sahih Muslim 16:4130?
Or Sahih Bukhari 8:82:794??
“So the prophet ordered them to go to the herd of the milk camels and to drink their milk and URINE (as a medicine)”
This is official islamic teaching about their prophet muhammed..
Muslims are obliged to follow his example(Sunnah).
Do they deny islamic teaching and muhammed’s perfect example?
The perfect man?
The al-insan al kamil
Was that camel urine that muhammed admitted to drinking:was it the perfect camel too?
the al-jamal al kamil
Muslims who protest MUST obey their prophet and when he orders his followers to drink the golden liquid waste product from the camel’s hole..let it be so!
INSHALLAH
Everything that is on that billboard is True.
“
Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
Another proof of Allah’s providence is that he made camels retromingent, in order to facilitate the collection of medicinal camel urine.
TL says
Imagine the bumper sticker in front of smug connivers like Pete Rottier when they are stopped in traffic. It has just three words:
THE PERFECT MAN
BestefarJohn says
I wish I knew the “perpetrators” of this billboard so I could contribute to their cause!
antoninus says
How can a nine year old girl consent freely to let a smelly, ugly old man have intercourse with her…………..over here it’s called rape.

Excellent! Hope this becomes a trend :-))

This billboard should be replicated worldwide in every major city to awaken people to the reality of the threat we are faced with
