'The heart and cardiovascular system in the Qur'an and Hadeeth' or pure nonsense?
To,
The Editor of International Journal of Cardiology,
Dear Sir,
I hold a Ph.D. in biological science, and worked many years in the U.S. as researcher on animals, and am quite familiar with the anatomy, physiology and pathology of humans and most research animals.
Recently I came across an amazingly controversial paper, ‘The heart and cardiovascular system in the Qur'an and Hadeeth' (Marios Loukas, Yousuf Saad, R. Shane Tubbs and Mohamadali M. Shojawhich), published in your reputed journal, International Journal of Cardiology. It is surprisingly that this fraudulently-crafted article was accepted for publication by the Editorial Board of your reputed, and claimed to be peer reviewed, journal.
I am astonished as well as appalled to see how your reputed journal could accept and publish this deceptive article, which has been based totally on false claims of science in the Quran or Hadeeths. This article is an absolute nonsense by some cunning Islamists, designed to fool westerners. I can bet a million dollars that, if an impartial scrutiny of the cited Quran and hadiths were conducted, all the claims made in this article would be proven false.
I have thoroughly read Islamic religious books, particularly the Quran and hadeeth, over the last 20 years. I have found them absolutely silly books, loaded with plenty of mumbo-jumbos of utterly superstitious crap. These so-called sacred books are full of contradictions and errors in scientific, historical, ethical, moral, and political matters. Moreover, these books are also filled with utterly hateful verses and commands against non-Muslims. I have written many articles on the Quran and hadiths depicting monumental errors and contradictions in them. You can consult one such article Quranic Erroneous Science and Contradictions!
I am quite positive that the reviewers of your journal never critically examined the Quranic verses and hadeeths, which the authors have used to make their claims. They have simply believed the authors’ utterly deceptive claims, made out of complete distortion of the cited verses or hadeeths.
These deceptive Islamist authors have deceived you by selective (pick & choose) verses, taking only part of them, sometimes by changing the actual words, or adding nonexisting words etc. They have intentionally twisted or manipulated the commonly accepted meanings of verses to prove existence of scientific miracles in the Quran.
Who has ever heard about scientific theory in any religious book? Is any religion compatible with the modern science? History has proven that religion and science are like oil and water, which never mix together! And Islam is no exception. Please read this article here: Erroneous Science and Contradictions in the Quran only to learn that, ancient luminaries of Islamic kingdom did not get their scientific ideas from the Koran or Hadeeths at all; instead they all got it from the ancient Indian, Greek and Chinese sources.
The authors’ claim about miraculous Quranic embryology is a pure joke and full of superstitious crap. Please read this article about Quranic embryology here: Science in Quran: Ambiguity of Human Embryology.
Let me cite some embryological contradictions/errors for your perusal:
Man is created from clotted blood (?)
Quran-23:14: Then fashioned We the drop a CLOT OF CONGEALED
BLOOD then fashioned We the clot a little lump (fetus), fashioned We the little lump into bones, then clothed the bones with flesh, and then produced it another creation. So blessed be Allah, the Best of Creators.
Quran-75:38: Then he becomes a CLOT; then (Allah) shaped and fashioned…
Quran-96:2: Created man, out of a mere clot of congealed blood
There are serious scientific problems here
A blood-clot can not grow into anything. This idea came from the Greeks. Aristotle erroneously believed that humans are originated from the action of male semen upon female menstrual blood, which is absolutely an incorrect assumption. The Quran’s assertion on the clot (alaqa) is completely wrong about human development, since there is absolutely no stage during which the embryo consists of a clot. The only situation in which an embryo might appear like a clot is during a miscarriage, in which case the clotted blood which is seen to emerge (much of which comes from the mother) is solidified and by definition no longer alive. Therefore, if ever an embryo appeared to look like a clot, it would never develop any further into a human; it would be a dead mass of bloody miscarriage. Since Prophet Muhammad had some thirteen wives, it is entirely possible that he would be very familiar with miscarriages.
Modern science tells us that the formation of human embryo is a seamless continuation from conception to the birth; hence there are no hard-and-fast boundaries of stages as the Quran described. The Quran described 4 stages, which match exactly with Galenic description of the development of the human embryo (proven wrong by modern science).
Creation of bones and clothing of bones with flesh: According to modern embryologists including Prof. Moore of Canada, the tissue from which bone originates, known as mesoderm, is the same tissue as that from which muscle (flesh) develops. Thus bone and muscles begin to develop simultaneously, rather than sequentially (as the Quran tells us). Moreover, most of the muscle tissue that we human have is laid down before birth, but bones continue to develop and calcify (strengthen with calcium) right into one’s teenage years. So it would be more accurate if the Quran had said that muscles started to develop at the same time as bones, but completed their development earlier. The idea that bones are clothed with flesh is not only scientifically completely wrong/false, but was directly copied from the ancient Greek doctor Galen’s hypothesis.
Also, the idea of saying: “made into bones and clothed the bones with muscle” came from the technique of making animal statues (moorthy) out of rod and cement or mud. People usually make the skeleton (out of rod or stick) first and, then cover it up with cement or mud. This is scarcely a scientific description of embryonic development. It is rather a description of a layman.
What is very interesting about the so-called Quranic science is: The soc-called scientific Quranic verses matches with Aristotle’s and Galen’s theories of embryology and Ptolemic geo-centric theory of Astronomy, which were prevailing almost thousand years before the arrival of Quran. However, modern science has proven all these theories mostly wrong.
The Quran also claimed (in verse 2:222) that menstruation in human is a disease. But, science has proven that it is a normal physiological phenomenon. How you think any sane human can claim that the Quran told about correct science?
HONEY as the medicine: Wishful Islamists demand that the Quran predicted honey as the good medicine. Honey, although not a great medicine by today's context, was used for tens of thousands of years as medicine and food by ancient people. Physicians of Pharaoh used to prescribe honey for diseases. In pre-Islamic Arabia, people widely used HONEY as medicine. In India, Ayurbedic medicine widely used HONEY as the ingredients of medicine thousands of years before the arrival of Qur'an. Honey was known as “Grandma's Medicine” throughout the ancient World for thousands of years before Islam.
Maurice Bucaille was the famous deceiver, who wrote a book on Quranic sciences to make his millions from Saudi King, and this clever man fooled all Muslims with his discovery of fraudulent science in the Koran, which was debunk by William F. Campbell in his well written book: ‘The Quran and the Bible in the light of history & Science’.
The fraudulent article in your journal claims:
“Found within the Qur'an and Hadeeth are accurate descriptions of anatomical structures, surgical procedures, physiological characteristics, and medical remedies. In particular, prophylaxis of general diseases is emphasized by encouraging physical activity, herbal and organic remedies, and spiritual revitalization. Notably, within these two texts, is the emphasis on the heart and blood as both a vehicle for life and as an organ central to affecting emotion and attitude. Furthermore, the lifestyle prescribed by these Islamic traditions promotes longevity of life, prevention of cardiovascular diseases, and discourages risk factors associated with such diseases. Therefore, it is evident that the authors of the texts had a good understanding of both the etiology and pathology of many diseases of the heart and cardiovascular system.”
All claims made above by the authors are outright false. Where are the anatomy, surgical procedures, medicine and remedies of diseases, etc. in the Quran? You will find no truth in these monumental claims if you do proper investigation. Do Muslims live longer than non-Muslims? In the Indian subcontinent, Hindus have greater longevity than their Muslim neighbors. Europeans, Americans and Japanese live much longer than the Muslim Arabs. Then why these false claims and how your esteem journal takes it?
I urge you to investigate the original source to substantiate the so-called science in the Quran and hadiths, as claimed in this paper, for accuracy. I wonder how your “cutting-edge” journal could accept such a fraudulent article without any proper investigation of the source.
While I understand that accepting or publishing any article in your reputed journal is purely your prerogative, but I urge to do another review of the article with proper scrutiny of cited Quranic verses and hadeeths. Please ask them to submit all the Quranic verses and hadiths (in original), and make an independent investigation by non-Muslim scientists (not by Mullahs) in order substantiate the truth in this article.
Quran is replete with hateful, harsh, and unethical verses against non-Muslims. You can read some samples here: Qur'an is the Primary Manual of Islamic Suicide Terrorism.
Publication of this utterly fraudulent article in your esteemed journal will act huge propaganda-tool in the hands of cunning Islamists. Also, its publication in your reputed journal will embolden the religious zeal of Islamic terrorists, already seeking to destroy modern civilization. And of course, your journal will surely lose its prestige in the international scientific community. Thanks for your understanding.
Sincerely yours,
Syed Kamran Mirza, Ph.D.

Dr Mohammad...He invented many medical treatments, machines and medicines...It was his idea to use water from the Budaam well as an invigorating tonic...Just strain out the lumps...Camel urine was also popular as there were no lumps in it...
Dr Mohammad discovered that his sputum had medicinal qualities, and would often spit on the wounds of his companions...When he was going about sucking the tongues of boys and girls, he was actually giving them a medical treatment...
He also invented the fine art of 'thighing'...Rubbing the thighs of little girls with the afflicted member, prevents the serious condition of DSB...Dangerous Semen Buildup...Dr Mohammad's medical life's work was to eradicate DSB in Muslims...
especially himself...And those are just a few of Dr Mohammad's medical accomplishments...if it were not for Dr Mohammad's scientific and medical discoveries, Islam would still be in the 7th century...

Because the greeks thought (aristoteles) this way and they copied that, believing it's true!
Duh_Swami: I really like your posts. It’s full of sharp humor and ofcourse muslims can’t laugh about it. They have no sense of humor while Allah is very humoristic as was the prophet. Actually he never thought people would believe him just like during Mecca. But when he went to Yathrib and saw how popular he was, he got proud of himself and took the right of being God/Allah. After this the jews smelled something about him (not literraly although he was always sweating severely) and they began to question his motives. He sensed this hostality and began to loote/confiscate their belongings bit by bit. When they rejected him as the messenger of Allah, he got furious…the rest is known. Duh_Swami, keep up posting the way you do. I like it very much as many postings by others.

1) Water in Bidham well. The meccans used to throw all their waste into this pond, particularly women who threw their menstrual napkins( rags at that time) here only.( just note their high sense of hygeine! They never used to litter it with any other place). Even though the pond was full of garbage, the water was clear and Mo declared (with the approval of Allah, of course ) that the water was pure and it can be used for any purpose. He also propounded his theory that water never mixes with dirt. Water was a scarce commodity then and what is wrong in Mo's advice to use maximum available water?
2) 'Tongue' ing. Not only camel's milk, Mo's spittle also contained anti- bacterial and medicinal qualities. That is why he used to lick boys' and girls' lips in order to cure them of their diseases. In fact, it was transfusion of saliva! Only centuries afterwards lesser mortals have discovered blood transfusion and all. During Mo's period needle was not available. So instead of transfusing blood, he transfused saliva. What is wrong with it, I don't understand. In the case of the middleaged and old, instead of licking and sucking he employed spitting. Only a dirty mind like duh_swami can find anything wrong with it.
3)Now 'thigh'ing. After marrying prepubescent Ayesha Mo was engaged in this activity only, till she reached puberty. According to Mo this exercise can be practised with any young girl. The younger the better.Actually it was Mo who elevated this simple exercise to the level of a fine art. Now worldwide muslims excel in this art. In this context we can also remember Al Khomenie who wrote in his green book that Allah will grant more bounties to those who marry off their daughters at a very young age. The younger, greater is the reward. They can certainly enjoy the company of more houries in paradise in their afterlife. I don't think duh_swami is not aware of these facts. Then why he wrote like that? Pure envy, no other reason I can see.

Because it's rediculous tpo believe it has anything to do with science or that God showed him those thechniques. The techniques for curing as practisec by the arabs is not unique. Besides it's not that important isn it and nowadays we almost all know that nothing is certain especially when it's about mohammed and the story of the orthodox vision. So actually, we are rediculizing the story of the arabs!
Only pedophiles exercise sexual practices with young girls and is it ok for a 9 years old girl to track spots of semen on clothes...it's filthy and discusting. Insaanie kameel should be insane camel!

2.Mohammed claimed that he was a prophet in the order of the Jewish prophet since he descended from Ishmael the first son of Abraham through a housemaid but it is a historical fact that Yahweh the God of the Jews never made covenant with Ishmael but Isaac and his descendants and no prophet ever came outside Israel.
3.Mohammed claimed that Abraham and all the prophets including Jesus were all Muslim who performed all the Islamic rituals of ass ups and down fashion, but we all know these to be false for no where in the Bible where there is any clue as to where Islam got it rituals obligations. Both the Jews Christians are commanded to keep God’s Commandments and not to do rituals ass ups and bowing down to a Blackstone which is against the commandment of God.
4.Mohammed also claimed that he was the promised prophet of the Jews but he was ignorant of the fact that the same prophet was also the Messiah which he agreed that Jesus was, thereby making his claim of no effect besides he did not belong to the brethren of the Jews. The proof of this can seen in the perpetual enmity and hatred for the Jews which he instituted in his religion before he died brothers are not supposed to be enemies but friends.
5.To further justify his prophet-hood Mohammed claimed that the great Jewish patriarch was not Jew or Christian but the Bible called Abraham the Hebrew Gen 14:13 the tribe of which Jews are known for in all ages not Abraham the Arab.
6.His claimed that his Quran was a book written in the memorial tablet in heaven and detected to him by Angel Gabriel cannot be proven as it lack context, chronology, intelligent transition, full of grammatical errors, contradicts science , history and common sense, without parables, proverbs and words of wisdom as exhibited in the earlier scriptures the Bible. Besides the Quran was never a book during Mohammed’s time but passed to generations as oral recitals and oral traditions for years before being put together as a book. This cast doubt for the authenticity of the Quran as the word of God. Since is easy to corrupt oral traditions than a written document as the Bible which was a written document fresh from the mouth of the Inspirer.
7. Finally, Mohammed could not perform miracle signs and wonders claiming that his miracle is the Quran recitals but this has been proven to be a fake document comprising of un-canonised fables of the Jews and Christians, and plagiarised stories of the Bible and situations revelations that were meant to solve his immediate problems with his wives, his subjects and how to take possession of people wealth, wives, weapons and power including his imaginary depiction of hell and heaven as carrot for recruiting his mercenaries for subjugation and tyrannical rule.

1) Water in Bidham well.
If I could get you some, would you drink it?
2.Tongue sucking... Mo's spittle also contained anti- bacterial and medicinal qualities.
So does the spittle of dogs...Dogs like to lick their butts and then give you a great big kiss...Mohammad was just imitating a dog...
3. Thighing...
Maybe you can rent a little girl and try it yourself...

Why do you think there are more homosexuals in islamic countries. Beastiality in those countries (not all of them) is a wide spread practice. Afterwards they pray to their God...maybe thanking him for the gift/practice (actually sin) he allowed them.
Khomeini is also an insane Camel and maybe it happened to him when he was a child and liked it. He forgot the story of soddom and gommora.
In his book legal opinions he sais it's ok to believe/think the Qor'aan of today is different than the autenthic one dictated by Gibriel. is it? not to muslims! Ofcourse it's OK Khomeini because the autenthic one does not exist anymore..if it ever existed at all! At the same time he's actually implicating that the Qor'aan of today has been changed. The story of islam gets thinner and thinner.

In the first three months of Obama election, Americans purchased enough guns and ammo to equip two full size army's the size of China's...If Islam has ideas of bring large scale violence to America, they better think twice and then start ducking...

If you want to know about how to kill and deceive people than read it. If you want to take mor
wife/wives and read it.
But if you want to obey the Gods Law and love people, come and read the Bible. There you will know the true Gods Law and love.
