When Peace Ends at the Sword: A Forensic Analysis of Islam’s Doctrine of War and Peace Why the “Religion of Peace” Slogan Collapses Under Qur’an, Hadith, and History 1. Introduction: A Slogan vs. a System “Islam is a religion of peace.” The phrase is repeated so often in Western discourse that many people accept it as a self-evident truth. Politicians say it. Journalists echo it. Some Muslim spokespeople insist on it. And many well-meaning non-Muslims repeat it to avoid conflict or accusations of bigotry. But slogans are not evidence. The only serious question is this: What do Islam’s own sources teach about war, peace, and the treatment of non-Muslims? To answer that, we have to examine: the Qur’an (earliest layer of doctrine), the Hadith and Sira (Muhammad’s words and actions), the earliest Islamic conquests , and the classical law of jihad (as codified by the four Sunni madhhabs). The result is not ambiguous. Islam’s core texts and legal tradition do n...

When Inquiry Becomes a Crime: How Islam Restricts Questioning, Debate, and Intellectual Freedom A Forensic, Historical, and Textual Examination of the Myth of “Islamic Free Inquiry” Introduction: A Claim That Collapses Under Evidence Muslim apologists—especially in Western discourse—often promote an appealing picture of Islam as a religion of rational inquiry, robust debate, and intellectual exploration. It is a powerful image: Islam as a faith that welcomes questions, encourages reasoning, and invites scholars, skeptics, and seekers alike to participate in a grand project of truth discovery. This narrative is emotionally compelling. It is also historically, legally, doctrinally, and textually false . The reality—demonstrable through the Qur’an, the Hadith, classical Islamic jurisprudence, and 1,400 years of historical precedent—is that Islamic inquiry is conditional, constrained, and policed . Inquiry is permitted only within the boundaries of orthodoxy , never beyond it. Quest...

The Myth of Arabs Descending from Ishmael Islam’s Historical Blunder One of the  biggest historical and theological myths  in Islam is the claim that  Arabs are descendants of Ishmael  and that Ishmael was the forefather of Muhammad.  This is completely false  — there is  no historical, archaeological, or biblical evidence  to support it. Below, I will systematically  debunk this Islamic claim  and  prove that Ishmael had nothing to do with Arabia or Islam . 📌 The Bible Proves That Ishmael’s Descendants Did NOT Settle in Mecca 📌  The Torah states that Ishmael and his descendants lived in Northern Arabia, NOT Mecca : ✅  Genesis 16:12  —  “He shall dwell to the east of all his brethren.” ✅  Genesis 25:18  —  “And they settled from Havilah to Shur, which is east of Egypt as one goes toward Assyria.” 📌  Havilah and Shur are in Northern Arabia, near Egypt — not Mecca. ✅  This means Ishmael’...
