Muslims mock Hinduism's idolism, i.e. its idol-worship. In fact, they also follow idolism as do Hindus, as will be proven below:
- During the Hajj, they wear two pieces of clothes. Hindus, while praying to their deity, also wear two pieces of clothes.
- Muslims go around Kaaba temple and make 7 rounds. Hindus also go around temple and make 5 or 7 rounds.
- Muslims kiss Black Stone in the Kabaa. Hindus also kiss and hug the Black Stone, i.e. emblem of Lord Shiva.
- Muslims take water from a well, called Zamzam, assuming it holy. Hindus also drink water from a well, near a Shiva temple, and assume that it is holy water of Ganga (river).
- Muslims shave their heads during Hajj. Hindu also shaves their head during visit to the temple of Lord Balaji at Tirupati (Andra Pradesh, India).
This idolized Hajj is part of Islam but Muslims deny that this is idolism. They claim that they use the Black Stone for centre or direction. Hindus also said that they use idol as a central-point for concentration or direction, and for their monotheism, they refer to Veda quote that there is only one Supreme God, but people/religions call God with different names and form as per their traditions and languages.

Most Muslims say that the Black Stone is the hand of Allah. Hence, the God is stone; it can be seen as stone. This is a purely idolatrous view. Hardcore fundamentalist Muslims say that kissing the Black Stone and going around the Kaaba is idolism. They are opposed it. In 1978, a gang of such radical Muslims vandalized the Black Stone, but the King of Arabia reinstated it. All Muslims pray to the direction of this Black Stone, they bend and touch their heads to the direction of this Stone. This is simply mono-idolism.
After that, Hajj pilgrims go on hill. There might have been some temple on that hill before the establishment of Islam. In India, all major temples are located on hills or in a cave of a hill. For pilgrimage, Hindus always go to temples located on hills. Traveling to hills/mountains for pleasing God is a ritual of idol-worship. Hindus travel to the Himalaya for pleasing Lord Shiva. They also go on pilgrimage to a temple situated on a mountain in Tiruannamalai (Tamilnadu, India). This is totally idolism. So, in fact, Muslims are practicing idolism.
Thereafter, Muslims collect pebbles and go to the three pillars of the Satan. They pelt those pebbles on the Satan. Hindu also burn effigy of Ravan (Satan). Pelting stones at or burning effigy of the Satan is similar idolatrous rituals. The Satan also has a shape and visibility. God is stone and the Satan is pillar – both are visible. So, what is the meaning of the Muslim claim that their God is invisible/unseen? Furthermore, God is one (Black Stone) and the Satan are three. Why?
|
Three pillars of Satan. Muslims pelts stone at them. |
Why there are 3 pillars for Satan? There were 3 goddesses, Al-Lat, Al-Uzza and Al-Manat. Before Islam, idols of these goddesses were placed in the Kaaba and the Quraish prayed to these goddesses. These goddesses were well-known daughters of Allah, the main deity of the Quraish tribe. The Arabs used to pray to these daughters of Allah. Muhammad also had once given Muslims the permission to offer prayers to these goddesses. After that, he realized that the number of people attending the Namaj were getting reduced. As this could threaten his organization (Islam), he again banned idol worship. Muhammad gave excuse for banning this idol worship that Satan had misguided him and put those verses on his tongue. He said that those 3 goddesses were Satan. Three pillars, symbolizing the Satan, are actually those three Goddesses. This is a case of offering prayers to the Father (Allah), but stoning His daughters (three Goddess). This is idolism, too.
When people are restricted from idolism, they start praying to death bodies, i.e. dargah/majar. This is an effect of banning idolism. Muslims goes to Dargah/Majar for prayer/ blessing. The Quran commands not to make partners of Allah. But these thousands of Dargah/majar are actually partners of Allah. Even the President of Pakistan goes to Dargah to seek blessing. These dargah are nothing but decomposed body, a hip of mixture of skin, bone, soil and sand/stone. Praying to it and seeking blessings is superstitious idol worship.
Muslims celebrate Eid after seeing the moon. If they cannot see the moon, they postpone Eid. Hindus also celebrate Chaturthi, Kojagiri Pornimaa and Karwachoutha after seeing the moon. Seeing the moon for prayer is a practice of idolism.
All religions profess sacrifice or offering to God. Non-vegetarians profess sacrifice with blood and vegetarian profess sacrifice without blood (i.e. with fruits, food etc.). Since ancient times, idol-worshiper sacrificed goat or other animals to please their God. Before Islam, idol-worshipping tribes of Arabia used to sacrifice goat and other animal at the Kaaba. Muhammad adopted this sacrifice of goat. This is idolism, because God never eat/want anything, God don’t want sacrifice. It is created by man. Non-vegetarian Hindu sacrifice Goat/hen to their God and Vegetarian Hindu break coconut before God as a sacrifice ritual. Sacrifice means offering to God, but not killing human/animal. Nonetheless, this is an ancient ritual of idol-worship, which Islam has copied from idolatrous Arab tradition.
Once I was watching a Pakistan TV Channel. One of the journalists, commenting on democracy, said that person-worship is more dangerous than idol-worship. Idols cannot speak, Idols has no emotion i.e. anger, hate etc. Idol has no personal vendetta. But person (leader/Godman/Prophet/Messanger) can speak, has emotion and personal vendetta. He mostly misguide people, incite them, and this is dangerous for civil society. Hence believing in a person without verifying the facts is more dangerous than idol-worship. Muslims believe Muhammad to be their prophet and the last and the best prophet, and they give salute to Muhammad at the end of their prayer. The Quran also demand that believe in Muhammad, listen to him and follow his direction. In fact, emulating every action and deed of Muhammad is a Muslim’s greatest dream. This is purely person-worship. So, Islam has three types of worships – person-worship, idolism, and monotheism based on Judaism.

I am not sure that Hindus are worshiping idols. The idols do not ask Hindus for any duty to follow or obey them. Following and obeying is the essence of worship. Just respecting is not worship.
All religions are based on divine message, in whatever form it may be and respective people may have. Hindus also have scripture which they follow and obey.
Shaving head is not worship. Muslims should do what they are asked to do. Avoid what is forbidden. Making mockery is forbidden in Quran.

a) Physically - like children mock their father in joy acting. Or loons tease physically handicapped poor people.
b) Following/Obeying - Copy-acting similar gestures/activities/rituals, whatever done in precedence without questioning and judging.(here precedence to Mohammed).

But surprisingly, Surah Al-Feel of the Quran states that Lord decided to save this pagan site from an invading army!
Tafsir Ibn Kathir Surah Al-Feel
“(1. Have you not seen how your Lord dealt with the Owners of the Elephant)
(2. Did He not make their plot go astray)
(3. And He sent against them birds, in flocks (Ababil).)
(4. Striking them with stones of Sijjil.)
(5. And He made them like `Asf, Ma’kul.) This is one of the favors Allah did for the Quraysh. He saved them from the People of the Elephant who had tried to tear down the Ka`bah and wipe out all traces of its existence”
written by Infidel and More Proud , November 15, 2012
In the year 930 AD, Kaaba was exclusively reserved for Allah (as the pagan idols had been destroyed much earlier by Muhammad himself). In short, Allah was the sole protector of Kaaba and it was an exclusive Islamic shrine. At this juncture, a Qarmatian leader by the name Abu Tahir Al-Jannabi attacked Kaaba.
To understand the extent to which Abu Tahir hated Muhammad and Islam is evident from his opinion:
“He rejected and ridiculed belief in Mohammed and Islam in saying: In this world, three individuals have corrupted mankind: a shepherd, a physician and a camel-driver. And this camel-driver was the worst pickpocket, the worst prestidigitator of the three.”
Despite being an absolute enemy of Allah and Muhammad, when Abu Tahir attacked Kaaba- the exclusive house of Allah, Allah could do nothing!
“The bodies of the pilgrims were left to rot in the streets or thrown down the Well of Zamzam. The Kaaba was looted, with Abu Tahir taking personal possession of the Black Stone and bringing it back to Al-Hasa.”
source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A...-Jannābī
It’s abundantly clear from above that Allah could not protect His Kaaba after He threw the other deities out from that house. The Kaaba stands as a testimony of the fact that it was supernaturally guarded when it was a Pagan site and humiliatingly desecrated when it was an Islamic site.
The Kaaba stares at all Muslims in the face, asking the question: How did Allah become strong while defending shirk and weak while defending Islam?

2. Why was Saudi Muslim army so incompetent to eliminate few hundred oppressors? Why did Allah let whole Muslim Ummah down by not helping them against the attackers? Why did not Allah act as per His assurance in Quran to help Muslims, especially for Saudis whom Allah loves the most?
3. Why ten times weaker Kafirs were requested by Muslims to carry out the operation? Was the Quran wrong in estimating the relative strengths of Kafirs and Momins?
4. Will those brave French soldiers go to Jannah (heaven) for the holiest of the works one can ever do i.e. to save the HOUSE OF ALLAH- KAABA? Or they will go to hell just like other great people such as Bismil, Azad, Subhash Chandra Bose, Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev, Rajguru for the only fault of being Non Muslims?
5. If Dr. Naik believes in the story that the French Commandos were made to read Kalma before the operation, then we have one more query: Even if it be assumed that these French Kafirs became Muslims during the operation, they ultimately practiced Christianity after the operation. So they become apostates and Allah prescribes death penalty for apostates.What punishment Allah has in plan for these unholy apostates who protected the holy Kaaba?
Do they deserve death here on earth and eternal hell hereafter?

Muslims destroyed Buddhas and pictures everywhere they arrived because of their phobic misunderstanding of arts and imagination. Christian or buddhist sculptures or icons are NOT idols to be worshipped at all; they are only symbolically representing the person to be worshipped. Therefore, the destruction makes no sense but it still is a very stupid destruction of arts and cultural heritage.
Another aspect of islamic anti-idolatry is nothing but superstition. Muslims believe that sculptures and paintings would try to receive the soul of its creator.
The result is that the muslim societies are poor in many cultural aspects such as painting or sculptures which were forbidden and all arts are reduced to very simple structures.
Even music is forbidden as well as some kinds of dancing and it seems that islam is restricting humans every days life where ever possible.

1. According to Islamic theology the Kaaba was built as a house of monotheism.
Over time people started as tribes mingled the practice of polytheism creeped in.
However monotheism still remained in tribes and they were called hanifs.
Now Muhammad(pbuh) grandfather said it the best during the year of the prophets birth when he and and tribes retreated to the hills when the Kaaba was threatened. "the ONE whose house it is can protect the house"
The rest is written! So even during polytheistic period monotheism remained.

Pre-Islamic worship of the goddess seems to be primarily associated with Al'Lat, which simply means 'goddess'. She is a triple goddess, similar to the Greek lunar deity Kore/Demeter/Hecate. Each aspect of this trinity corresponds to a phase of the moon. In the same way Al-Lat has three names known to the initiate: Q're/Kore, the crescent moon or the maiden; Al-Uzza, literally 'the strong one', who is the full moon and goddess of sacrifice; and Manat/Ma'at (Egyptian), the waning but wise goddess of fate, prophecy and divination. Islamic traditions continue to recognize these three, but labels them 'daughters of Allah'.
Al-Uzza was especially worshipped at the Kaaba where she was served by seven priestesses. Her worshippers circled the holy stone seven times - once each for the moon, sun and five roaming stars (actually planets), and did so in total nudity.
When Muhammed wanted to supplant Al-Lat with Allah, this was the Temple to conquer, and although Muhammed did conquer the Kaaba, little else changed. The faithful still circle the Ka'aba seven times, (the pilgrims wear a white linen cloth to cover their genitals and are not fully clothed) and the priests of the Ka'aba are still known as Beni Shaybah (Sons of the Old Woman).

"Some Islamists have tried to salvage the word of Allah of Muslim supremacy over Kafir in strength, by floating a story that those French Soldiers were made to recite the Kalma before they entered the Kaaba for the operation! So as per these story tellers, the French Commandos became Muslims after reciting Kalma and hence Kaaba was recaptured by Muslims only It doesn’t matter to them if these Kafir French recited a few words that they did not understand at all and could hardly recite because of their accent! On top of it, muslims also fail to explain as to why Saudi Muslims who used to recite Laillah illallah Muhammadur Rasoolullah five times a day, 365 days an year throughout their lives and of whom Allah is the friend, could not rescue their shrine on their own?
Malam where did I say french and CIA did not recite shadha. All I said till they enter Kaaba they were not Muslims. At the very least they did not go there to perform Hajj?"
It is nice to know muslims had to take help from French and Amearicans to save their ArsZ..
So the point is incorrect that those who recited shadha 5 times a day and 365 days a year were less powerfull then those who just recited it once.
Who are you kidding? Yourself or Allah or your brethren muslims?
Was it muslims who saved kaaba or christian pork eaters who recited shadha once kaaba saved it?

While Mohammad's lechery infuriated all his wives, they conspired with their adulterous lovers; one night, they murdered and cut him to pieces. The return of the day brought a banned of his obedient men asking where he was. In answering the question, one of his wives presented his severed ankle, telling them that Mohammad had gone up to paradise while stand on the black stone, and that one of them managed to grab his ankle to prevent him from rising; however, at any rate his ankle separated from him as lizards detached their tails to escape from a hunter. As to maintain the raiding ban together, his favorite lieutenant commemorated Mohammad's point of departure toward the specious paradise, and designated the Arabic word Kaaba, meaning "ankle" as an appellation for the black stone. Thereafter, Muslims treat the black stone as holy and make pilgrimage to Macca making ritual encircling the black rock, Kaaba.
As the truth about Mohammad is ugly, Muslims will rebel upon hearing it; they will curse you, pretend that it's an insult of the highest degree; they will deny it vehemently, and even will stigmatize you for repeating this story by challenging the fluency of your Arabic and deny Kaaba as to mean an "ankle" of Mohammad. Some even pretend that it means the ankle of an animal and others, resort to ever changing stories. Regardless of what they say to you or about you, for they, who wish to have a beautiful past of Mohammad, truth is hard to swallow.

I think Mo had honored and kissed this particular stone because of its resemblance to vagina. Going through his biography, the main thing which struck me was his immense love for this particular part of the female anatomy. From the age of 40, I think he was impotent, though muslims claim and praise him that he had the vitality and virility of 30 men or so by a special dispensation by Allah, the all powerful. Though he had very much longed for a son to carry on his tradition, why Allah did not grant him that wish is beyond my comprehension. Anyway, though impotent, he visited all his wives in turn and said to have dispensed conjugal ecstasy to all of them in equal measure. According to Aisha, he showed the maximum restraint and discipline in sex compared to the other ordinary mortals. May be one can see Allah's endless mercy here. Anyway, Mo's admiration and adoration of the female anatomy, particularly the above mentioned part is well- known and above debate. In my humble opinion, this could be the reason which drew him so intimately to this stone as to kiss and venerate it and act as a perfect example to his countless followers down generations.

Reed does know what he is talking about … There is clear order in Quran to pray to the '' Qubla '' in the direction of Ka'aba …and it is not true that Muslims could pray to any which direction they want .
Quran 2/144 to 149 .. talked about how and why the Muslims have to turn their head in the direction of the Masside al muha'ram ''the Sacred mosque'' in Ma'aca.
There is no doubt about that, when we read Aya 2/148 :
'' for each of you, is a direction to which they TURN [ IN PRAYER ] then strive together …
Then is 2/ 149 :
'' And where ever you start forth [ for prayer], turn your face in the direction of the Sacred Mosque that is indeed the truth from your Lord and Allah is not unmindful of what you do '' .
Any more prove need it, to prove Reed's constant need to come up with alien teachings to justify his own preferences that HE likes and by doing that, he contradict Quran and it's teachings.

So if you claim that quran is better and more reliable than hadith and other sources, then you explain to me the truth about Surah 7? Do you really believe that Allah turned jews into monkeys for not observing the sabbath?
And why not all muslims as well because no muslim ever observes the sabbath?
We all know that brids can only fly with Allahs permission and we all are derived from clot that was sperm before gushed out from the backbone!
There is no really improvement if you slash the hadith and rely only on the quran!

The Indian historian P.N.Oak argues that the Kabaa was a shiva temple some 2,000 years ago (Saudi Arabia will not permit any archaeological digs).
Oak also argues that what we call "islamic architecture" was stolen from hindu culture. He says that thousands of hindu architects & builders were taken out of india as slaves. He has a book which takes apart the claim that the Taj Mahal was built by muslims. There are too many non-muslim elements & symbols for it to have been constructed by muslims (not to mention that there's no historical data to say that it was, and the historical stories around its construction do not make sense).
Incidentally, there is a book about the 1979 siege of Mecca, by Yaroslav Trofimov

There is no spirituality in ISLAM .period. If you apply same principles,values of sanatana dharma to ISLAM ( complete freedom,self realization, freedom from fear, terror,peace,love, equality, undogmatic, divinity in all creation, etc, ---- ISLAM will disappear in days !!! Finally let me tell you with 100% certainity. If you follow DHARMIC principles, values, philosophy , ethos, then you will never go wrong , at the end of your life, will never repent , quite blissful. Opposite is true for ISLAM. If you follow ISLAMIC tenets and commands and sunna of MO , You will never be a good human being . You will follow exactly MO , the monster , criminal ,thug sex maniac, slave owner and hate filled, bigot and killer. How can you be happy? How can you be a good person ?

a true Muslim. Secondly Muhhamad disclaimed having performed any miracles. Therefore there can be no foot-impression of his on stone. Thirdly foot-impressions must always be in pairs like shoes. Yet in most of these shrines, it is usually a single footprint which suggests that Muhammad walked on only one foot. Another question that crops up is whether the foot-impression is of the same size and foot in all the shrines. The fact appears to be that when the Vedic Kaba shrine in Mecca was invaded by Muhammad, the pairs of foot impressions of Vedic
deities there were plundered and later traded to the gullible and devout as Muhammad’s own footprints for some favour, reward or personal gain by unscrupulous muslims. That is why they are single and not in pairs.The Black Stone which is the Shiv Emblem (also known as Sange Aswad which is a corrupted form of the Sanskrit word Sanghey Ashweta–meaning non-white stone) still survives in the Kaba as the central object of Islamic veneration. All other Vedic Idols could be found buried in the precincts or trampled underfoot in labyrinthine subterranean corridors if archaeological excavations are undertaken. The Black Stone has been badly mutilated, its carved base has disappeared and the stone itself is broken at seven places. It’s parts are now held together by a silver band studded with silver nails. It lies half buried in the South Eastern portion of the Kaba Wall. The term Kaba itself is a corruption of the Sanskrit word Gabha (Garbha + Graha) which means Sanctum.

Initially, Mohammed prayed in the direction of Jerusalem, because the religion he was fabricating was derived from local Jewish and heretical Christian sects. After failing to convert them his attitude towards Jews became very spiteful and he concentrated on drawing the predominantly pagan tribes to his side by incorporating their major idol into Islam. The existing pilgrim business was already an important source of revenue for the area and it was a face-saving way to justify switching from Jerusalem as a point of worship. Did I mention that it was also transparently shallow and hypocritical?
There is also something paradoxical about the way Islam deifies Mohammed, while insisting at the same time that he was in no way divine. They scoff at Christians (well actually they condemn them vehemently for being misguided), who believe in the divinity of Jesus, but the reverence they displace to Mohammed is a form of worship that goes far beyond what is due for his station. They have also made reverence for physical copies of the Quran into a form of idolatry.
The whole religion is riddled with contradictions that can never be resolved, because raising these questions results in death threats rather than discussion.

Allah had 3 children, Al-Lat, Al-Uzza and Manat. Al-Lat and Al-Uzza were both feminine deities. Alla is another name for the Hindu goddess Durga. It is obvious that the goddess Al-Lat was Alla (Durga) and Al-Uzza was Oorja (energy or life force also known as Shakti). Manat was none other than Somnath which is another name for Lord Shiva. name for Lord Shiva. One significant point to note that Soma in Sanskrit means Moon and Nath means Lord. Thus the Kaba itself was dedicated to the Moon God Somnath alias Shiv and the word Somnath was corrupted to Manat. The famous Black Stone is none other than the ShivLing of Makkeshwar alias Mecca. Lord
Shiva is always shown with a crescent Moon on his head and every Shiva temple is supposed to have a sacred water spring representing the Ganges. The Crescent Moon pinnacle of the Kaba and the Zamzam spring (actually Zamza from Ganga) are irrefutable testaments to the Vedic origins of the Kaba. Muslims from all over the world pay homage to this shrine. This shrine is actually the pedestal of Brahma. Notice that the word, Ibrahim is actually a corruption of the word, Brahma. The octogonal grill which is a Vedic design protects the holy footprints which represent the start of the creation nearly 2000 million years ago. Before it was captured by the Muslims it was an international shrine of the Vedic trinity. In fact the names of the holiest of Muslim cities Mecca and Medina come from the Sanskrit words Makha-Medini which means the land of Fire-Worship. Even the most ancient names of these 2 cities were Mahcorava- which came from Mahadeva (Lord Shiva) and Yathrabn – which came from Yatra-Sthan (place of pilgrimage).

360 idols!” According to Arab traditions, Muhammad is a title. We do not know what name his parents had
given him. We do however know that the central object of worship which survives at the Kaba today is a Shivling. That was allowed to remain there because that was the faceless family deity of Muhammad’s family. One of the original names of Lord Shiv is Mahadev (The Great God) therefore it is entirely possible Muhammad came from Mahadev. This appears fairly certain because the Arabs still have a Mahadevi sect. Moreover the title Mehdi of
a Muslim chief is also a malpronounciation of the term Mahadeva. According to Sanskrit etymology the term Muhammad implies ‘a person of great inspiration’-’Mahan Madah yasya assau Muhammadah’ In a hostile sense it also implies ‘a person of a proud and haughty temperament’. The Qurayshi tribe into which Mohammed was born wa particularly devoted to Allah and and the three children of the Moon God. Therefore when Muhammad decided to create his own Divine religion, he took innumerable aspects of the daily Vedic culture that surrounded him and corrupted them to suit his needs. It was with the advent of the Prophet and Islam that th death-knell of the glorious Arab culture was sounded. With Islam came the flood of destruction, murder, plunder and crime tha destroyed the great Vedic heritage of Arabs. The Prophet merely took some existing artefacts and terms and corrupted them so profoundly that no one would be able to discover their actual origins.

You have given verses
There is no doubt about that, when we read Aya 2/148 :
'' for each of you, is a direction to which they TURN [ IN PRAYER ] then strive together …
Then is 2/ 149 :
'' And where ever you start forth [ for prayer], turn your face in the direction of the Sacred Mosque that is indeed the truth from your Lord and Allah is not unmindful of what you do '' .
I will not doubt that you,fineliving, put 'for prayers' within brackets and I appreciate that you did not dissolve the brackets yourself. In the text we dont find FOR PRAYER.
وَمِنْ حَيْثُ خَرَجْتَ فَوَلِّ وَجْهَكَ شَطْرَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ ۖ وَإِنَّهُ لَلْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَ ۗ وَمَا اللَّـهُ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ ﴿١٤٩﴾ وَمِنْ حَيْثُ خَرَجْتَ فَوَلِّ وَجْهَكَ شَطْرَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ ۚ وَحَيْثُ مَا كُنتُمْ فَوَلُّوا وُجُوهَكُمْ شَطْرَهُ لِئَلَّا يَكُونَ لِلنَّاسِ عَلَيْكُمْ حُجَّةٌ إِلَّا الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا مِنْهُمْ فَلَا تَخْشَوْهُمْ وَاخْشَوْنِي وَلِأُتِمَّ نِعْمَتِي عَلَيْكُمْ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ

Please explain the following
49:7
And know that among you is the Messenger of Allah . If he were to obey you in much of the matter, you would be in difficulty, but Allah has endeared to you the faith and has made it pleasing in your hearts and has made hateful to you disbelief, defiance and disobedience. Those are the [rightly] guided.
Was mohamed alive at the time of penning of this verse?
Why Allah is saying Mohhed is there when he is not?
What if someone does not want a third party contact with Allah (instead using Mohamed as telephone or moblie).
Doesnt this prove Quran is expired and past its use by date.
Why does one have to remember and recall Mohammed when you muslims claim oneness of Allah and God but always bring in messanger as if Muslims cannot keep contact with Allah directly.
Allah is omnipresent yet every time Mohamed pops in
It seems by sharing attributes with Allah Mohamed is causing shirk for he is human.
If he is not human then how can there be one Allah it makes Allah and other equivalent to Allah? Makes two of same stature isnt it?

You were always against appendages in brackets when some verse from Quran is quoted. Yet, you quote 2:113 as follows.

Even thus say those who have no knowledge, like to what they say; so Allah shall judge between them on the day of resurrection in what they differ. 2:113.
What is your rationale?
Another thing: is the statement in this ayat correct? Do really jews and christians say like that? A section of them may, perhaps, say like that.

If someone is 95 yo., and he just broke his back, and he's in major pain, and the pain killers aren't enough to stop the pain, and two physicians says that there is little chance that back surgery will stop the pain, this person should consider suicide as a means to end his suffering. He should not wait until nature kills him.

It is all beyond their capacity. very recently , this monster thug Mo came along and not only destroyed all critical thinking and enquiry , but trampled human societies and human values, human rights and declared himself profit profiteer and enforced his dictates , the most darkest theologial sewage man has known. Mo through his ALLAH injected this fear of grave and fear of hell in humans in order to subjugate all population wholesale way . Now people have to be tormented and terrorized in the name of judgement day and hell fire !!!! And to avoid this nonsense people have to be in submission to MO/ALLAH . Hurray the profit can redeem you. if you do all what he dictates and can recommend ( intercede ) to ALLAH to let you go into heaven to enjoy your Houris with permanent erection and with permanent copulation mode and along with all wine and cushioned beds with water gushing under !!!! Now all your sins have gone , your murders, your lust, your lies, your curses, your loot of kafirs, your rape and taking slaves, your terrorizing unbelievers ,your hatred, your ill will , your bigotry , ( all characters of moslems) are annulled and wiped clean by ALLAH and his boss MO !!!! But MO/ALLAH objected to sex and wine in this world but supplied plenty eternally hereafter .pimps ALLAH /MO are such kind merciful Gods !!!! Do any unbelievers know all of this - which is given by MO/ALLAH !!!! They are kafirs/infidels and will burn in hell fire eternally and ALLAH will enjoy seeing them burning, because he creates new skin, again, burn it , new skin again ,burn it , new skin -burn it again !!! what a GOD ISLAMIC ALLAH is !!!

'And the Jews say: The Christians do not follow anything and the Christians say: The Jews do not follow anything.' What nonsense is this? No jews will say that christians do not follow anything and no christians will say that the jews do not follow anything. Both follow their own beliefs, traditions etc. etc. Even a child knows it.

You seem quite close to fact. You have used pronoun 'they' without giving noun at any stage. Please tell me who 'they'?
You write "The whole religion is riddled with contradictions that can never be resolved, because raising these questions results in death threats rather than discussion."
You are absolutely right. Muslims are virtually following hadis which contradicts Quran. The religion or Islam has no contradiction. Nullification is product of contradiction. Islam is already there and we discuss it here.
You are justified in your observations. All religions are made mess and God's message is relegated to secondary position.
