Surah 2: Absurdity

  1. "This is the Scripture whereof there is no doubt, a guidance unto those who ward off (evil)." There is no doubt about this or any other "Scripture". It is false. It wasn't revealed by God and it won't "ward off evil." 2:2

  2. "Shall we believe as the foolish believe?"
    According to the Quran, the answer is, yes. To be truly wise you must believe whatever the foolish believe. 2:13

  3. "If Allah willed, He could destroy their hearing and their sight. Lo! Allah is able to do all things." 2:20

  4. "And if ye are in doubt ... then produce a surah of the like thereof."
    If you doubt that the truth of the Quran, then try making some stuff up and see how it compares. (Whatever you come up with will be better than the Quran.) 2:23

  5. Allah commands the angels to worship Adam. They all do, except for Iblis, who becomes a disbeliever. 2:34

  6. Allah stamped wretchedness upon the Jews at the time of Moses because they killed the prophets and disbelieved Allah's revelations. But what prophets could they have killed and what revelations could they have rejected? Most of the prophets and revelations came later, didn't they? 2:61

  7. Allah turned the Sabbath-breaking Jews into apes. 2:65-66

  8. To settle a murder mystery, Allah brought a murder victim back to life by hitting his dead body with a piece of the yellow cow. The risen man then identified his murderer! 2:72-3

  9. Allah makes a man "die" for 100 years, and then brings him back to life. 2:259

  10. To show how he gives life to the dead, Allah tells Abraham to cut up the bodies of four birds, scatter their remains on four hills, and then call to them. Allah says that the dead birds will come quickly to Abraham. 2:260
