attacking the morality of the Qur'an from a Western lens and dismissing it as "evil", while the West itself has imperfect morality and therefore is unable to judge perfectly?
Quite frankly, I believe the Qur'an is without fault and therefore its opponents need to make silly claims about Muhammad and the Hadith or just straight up lie. They will never address the Qur'an.

Because discussing Islam from a moral point of view is very topical considering Muslims have been committing terror attacks in the West regularly since 2001. It may be repetitive and sterile but it attracts clicks and sales since it's topical.
At the same time, many who discard the Quran on a moral basis also discard the Bible and generally discard the claim of divine revelation at all. So unless you can prove the divine origins of the Quran, there's really no reason for a secular humanist, for instance, to engage seriously at all its claims about itself, or rather I should say the Islamic claims about it.

For what it's worth, I as a Christian have serious issues with the Quran which are not on a moral basis. Not that Islamic morality isn't indeed repugnant to Christianity, but rather any authority it must have has to rely on it being a true book at all, so that's far more important than criticizing the Quran based on preconceived notions of what is moral or what God would want. But I'd like to discuss this with Muslims in real life first before trying to discuss it online. I'm at Surah 34 so far and I would say that the Quranic claims about its own authority amount so far to "just trust me bro" when it comes to it's criticism of Judaism and Christianity, although at least Muhammad can make a good basic point against Levantine paganism (but mostly retreading on things the prophets already said against Canaanite paganism over a millennia before).

Spoken like someone who doesn't understand. The Quran is self-referential in a sense not that it tells you "just trust me bro" so you believe in Quran. When it say Quran is sent from Allah and in it they ayahs are clear, it means that once you believe in Allah you will understand what is meant by that. You can't have faith without proof, but you can't have proof without faith - in essence you need to take a leap of faith, ie., believe, then your faith will retroactively make sense

>The morality of the west is imperfect
That's your opinion, but I don't care about the morality of government and other people. As a Christian, such things point to Islam's unhealthy collectivism and ultimate lack of courage. My faith is not diminished by the fact that my neighbour rejects it; if the whole world were wrong then I'd still be right.

Point being, the west does not judge Islam morally, the west and Islam are simply incompatible, since the rationale for religious liberty and tolerance is specifically Christian. We more-or-less do not care what some people half-way around the world think about it.

>> No.16886789

>>16886565
Yes, Western values are certainly trashy, and America caused a lot of suffering in Islamic countries. But you asked why Western critics of Islam focus on the moral aspect. It is because it has been very topical to Westerners for 20 years due to Muslims committing attacks in the West, and tropical discussions are more interesting to people.

>>16886613
Why is that not an inconsistent axiom? Or are there other things I should first believe in blindly, then retroactively they will make sense? It sounds like shooting an arrow then painting the target around it.
Also, I rather had in mind the specific claims against Judaism and Christianity.

Against Judaism: Muhammad is perhaps being rejected, but so were the other prophets, so if anything that proves his prophethood. Counterpoint: the Jews do expect a Prophet to come, but per Deuteronomy the Prophet must teach the same Law as Moses, yet Muhammad is bringing his own commandments (and isn't even a Jew anyway).

Against Christianity: God cannot be one if Jesus is the Son of God, and Muhammad is the Ahmad (which traditionally means the Paraclete according to Islam) that was announced to come. Counterpoint: the topic of the oneness of God was already addressed in the 4th century (and Muhammad didn't even address the Christian understanding of it, although ironically Muslims would have a very similar debate concerning the createdness of the Quran), and Christians already believe Jesus is the Prophet and the Holy Spirit is the Paraclete and were not looking forward to a further prophet (but maybe to the return of Enoch and Elijah).

And the Quranic/Muslim counterpoint to these is... the Torah and Gospel were actually corrupted by those who wanted to hide the truth.
In my opinion Muhammad was right to dunk on pagan nonsense, but he seemed to be very confused by why the Jews would reject him and why the Christians worshipped Jesus.

Also, the Quran appeared in the 7th century. Interpreting earlier texts through a later one is nonsensical. And before you say the New Testament does this with the Old Testament... even though Jews and Christians disagree on the veracity of the NT, the authors of the NT were still writing as Jews in attempted continuity with Jewish tradition, and indeed nearly all of the NT just interprets what is already there in the OT after centuries of development that led to certain mythologies and expectations. But Muslims do not consider the Quran to be an extra book of the Bible that adds to it but rather to replace and correct it.

>In my opinion Muhammad was right to dunk on pagan nonsense, but he seemed to be very confused by why the Jews would reject him and why the Christians worshipped Jesus.
It's a natural extension to follow. Moses found the people worshipping Animals instead of God, yet some didn't listen and reverted back to paganism. Jesus found them worshipping people instead of God, yet some didn't listen and continued worshipping people. Muhammad managed to stop that

Muslims are unironically the dumbest people I've ever heard speak in my life. There's going to be an avalanche of apostasy soon now that more Muslims are moving to the west and have access to the internet and other sources of information besides their imam.

I mean, I don't think that's right. First off, Christians do not treat the Bible like Muslims treat the Quran. And secondly, the New Testament has a lot of emphasis on verifying claims by the fruits they produce (Jesus's truthfulness being testified to by His works which are the Father's, and also the Law and the Prophets; Paul and Peter defending their apostolicity with the efforts they have done for what they have preached without any gain for themselves) and of experiencing for oneself what Christ and the apostles also proclaimed (see especially Jesus's last discourse in John, and also the emphasis on union with Jesus in the epistles, maybe most clearly Ephesians and Colossians).
This focus on verifying the Christian doctrine for yourself through practice led to, on one hand, to the cult of the saints (people recognized as examples to follow and as proof of the change union with Christ does), and, on another hand, to submission to a spiritual father (the figure of the spiritual father being the bishop in the "secular" church and the geronda in the "monastic" church).

But even assuming you are right and the Bible demands that the reader trusts it on its own word... then that doesn't help the Islamic case. If "just trust me bro" isn't good enough, both the Bible and Quran are equally as useless. If "just trust me bro" is good enough, both the Bible and Quan are equally correct.

We have manuscripts of the Torah which predate Muhammad but even if this weren't the case, literally every single one of them is consistent on at least one small detail. The Pharoah's daughter adopted Moses. The Qu'ran on the other hand asserts that the Pharoah's wife is the one that adopted him. None of the Muslim world recognized the contradiction until the time of Al-Ghazali which is why no Muslim up to that point every suspected that the Torah was corrupted. It was only after this realization that Muslims assumed it must be corrupt, but this of course ignores all manuscript evidence and logic.

If the Torah is corrupt now it was corrupt when Muhammad or God declared it to be true in the Qu'ran. No matter which way you go on this, there is a clear falsehood in the Qu'ran.

I can't answer that for every Muslim, much like you wouldn't expect me to ask you what is the stance of 2 billion or so Christians on a specific issue. However I have seen multiple Islamic organizations, in several countries, that I know of harshly condeming the actions of the murderer.

Depends on the murderer. You can be opposed from a humane perspective but approve from a religious one. As in, "it's a pity, but it had to be done. I wish he hadn't chosen that fate".
I haven't heard of terrorists acts in the name of Chrsitianity in forever; in the West people are motivated by personal vendettas or political beliefs rather than religion.
Anyway, as usual, there's a bit of a disconnect between the average believer and the religious authorities. I have no doubt in my mind that most Islamic religious authorities condemned the attack.It's the main body of the believers whose opinion carry the most weight, unfortunately. That's why I'm concerned about it. I hope you understand my fear, taking into account how much of a presence they are gaining in countries that were typically lacking in the followers of Allah.

The West is Christian in the core, and you don't just do away with 2000 years of Christian tradition. People may not identifity themselves as Christians, but Christians values and norms are enmeshed in society, the government and the people whether they are aware of it or not. You may say these attacts aren't directly motivated by Christianity and shift the blame to the politics or personal beliefs, but killing 50 people is in no way a small thing.

What do you mean?
Christians do not believe that the Bible came upon Jesus during His lifetime or something. The Bible is a collection of texts, some attributed to prophets or apostles, some simply anonymous.
Unlike Jews who believe the Masoretic perfectly reconstitues the words of God through Moses and unlike Muslims who believe the Quran is also the verbatim word of God, Christians are decidedly not interested in a "perfect original" that would then be mystically preserved. You can look at how the canon, or rather the canons, developed. You can look at how there is simply no big doctrinal dispute today among Christians about which manuscripts are the "only true ones" (at best, you have the dispute of whether there must be a single universal canon or not, and if so, whether it's the Catholic one or the Protestant one).

Literally the only Christians who hold a doctrine akin to that of the Muslims toward the Quran are the KJV-onlyists, who are a hilariously tiny fraction of all Christians. I'm not sure you understand what "no true scotsman" means.
