FalselyFlagged, it's the Qur'an and the Sunnah. Not just the Qur'an. Don't call yourself a Muslim and stop pretending to represent Islam, especially to all these non-Muslims.

Who said I am a representative? I am just voicing my opinion, just like you. You are not a representative for the entire 1.3 billion people either, as they cant even agree amongst themselves.
So much for your "brotherly love", as you are quick to claim that I am not even Muslim...
And I did not say that I reject all hadith or sunna. I believe in the ones that are congruent with the teachings of the Quran.
Do you personally believe that every single hadith is true? EVERY SINGLE ONE? Even ones that are against Quranic teachings? Even ones that contradict others?

Thank you for coming out and saying that.
It seems FalselyFlagged is only here to inflame.

Science is not a good use of the word when applied to hearsay written down hundreds of years after the fact, with no eye witnesses.
Just because I don't believe Muhammad SAAW was a child molester, that means I'm not Muslim?
That's ridiculous. I don't believe or not believe in entire collections. I judge hadith individually by their own merits.

About Geert Wilders.
I disagree with most of his ideas mostly because he passes personal boundary of my ideas on how to treat fellow human beings.
He is making a point tho.
We have a small group of muslim youth that is causing a lot of trouble.
Along with a lot of 'so called' positive discrimination.
My understanding is that its our own fault. We have become a cuddle nation where problems are solved with problems and aggression with a talk instead of authority.

Then you are severely misguided. What grants you the knowledge to be able to judge between hadith? Are you a Hafiz? Do you have your own Madhab?
Doing what you do will only lead you to follow your own vain desires. May Allah (swt) guide you.

You do know that Canada's territories are part of the common wealth and queen Elisabeth or the queen of England is also your queen.
Who is actualy part of a German royal family called Guelph ( they changed it to Windsor to make it sound more English.) Who are part of the 'so called black nobility where also the Dutch royal family is part of.
Where Willem the 3th comes from who was King of England, Scotland and Ireland once.Because of his Free Mason link with Phillip the 2th. The man that is the cause for Free Masonry getting accepted and one of a number of grand masters of the order. These same Free Masons that founded America.
Just saying that those who rule the US also rule Canada.
The Constitution Act, 1982 was signed into law by Elizabeth II as Queen of Canada on April 17, 1982 on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. Queen Elizabeth's constitutional powers over Canada were not affected by the Act, and she remains Queen and Head of State of Canada. Canada has complete sovereignty as an independent country and the Queen's role as monarch of Canada is separate from her role as the British monarch or the monarch of any of the other Commonwealth realms.

Nuff said.

Although I appreciate your honesty here and the ability to talk calmly and be rational with this whole subject, I must say I really can't understand your allegiance to such a religion or to Mohammad - we are all aware by now that Mohammad was very brutal man who committed hideous murders on our people and he was a dirty old man who after the age of fifty took a six year as his bride and had full sexual intercourse with her when she was only nine.
Many of the Arab nations still hold the view that this is OK and their treatment of woman is despicable and I don't think anybody can have respect for that or have any wish for such a thing to be made law in our own lands.
You have honour killings and other stone age practices which do not belong in the world today, they are simply backward.

I will go through your points, but first I would like to say to stop using the words of ex-Muslims. You do not need their words to make your points. If you need their words, then you are just allowing them to manipulate you.
First, for the most common charge of pedophilia. In tribal societies, families would choose husbands for their daughters based on certain qualities of the man. Some would choose based on wealth, or connections. Some would choose based on character and good morals. Muhammad was chosen for this reason. If a marriage is not consummated within a certain time frame it is considered annulled, but since she was so young, they waited until 9 (it is believed) and instead of intercourse they did 'thighing' to consummate the marriage. Women of that time were not the like the women of today. My grandmother gave birth at 14 to my Aunt. And that was in the 1930s. It is not uncommon. Perhaps if we had better records of other people at that time, you would see it is not unusual. Aisha (ra), the wife in question, went on to become one the brightest and most knowledgeable scholars of Islam of all time after her husband's (saw) death. Most of what we know about the intimate details of life and best character for men AND for women come from her being in the presence of the prophet for almost all of her life. After Muhammad (saw) passed away, people came to her from all over to ask about things and she was basically an Islamic jurist at this point since she was so knowledgeable.
He was not a "brutal" man. That is only your clearly biased opinion, because although I came at you in a calm way, your reaction was only to launch some filthy insults at the Messenger of Allah (saw).
Honor killings are forbidden in Islam and explicitly so in the Qur'an and Sunnah (teachings of Muhammad preserved through ahadith, or traditions).
The punishment for fornication is 100 or 80 lashes (I forgot the number) and the punishment for adultery (cheating on your spouse) is death.
My wife was born in the west and although she came from an Islamic background, her brothers and sisters are mixed with religion (some practice and some don't). She chose to cover herself (before I ever met her). No one forced her. In actuality, it would have been easier for her to just abandon it and blend in.
If you would ask her, she would tell you this, "Stop trying to 'free' our women." I say the same to you. They do not want for themselves what the women in your society have gotten. That's why they are unhappy, depressed, constantly worried about their image...obsessed with clothes and makeup and acting like men.
And our men are not interested in becoming like your men. Meek, pathetic, effeminate, and sad. Obsessed with fornicating and indulging in vain pleasures such as intoxicants and foolish, risky behavior.
Islam IS a complete way of life, as you have mentioned before. Let us live it in peace in our land (by removing your support for corrupt governments, removing your troops from our land, etc.), or we will not let you enjoy peace either.

Racism is a disease. Nationalism is a disease. Hating those who hate Allah and His Messenger (saw) is an obligation and an article of faith. And harming them becomes a duty if they bring harm to you or support those that do.
"O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as Auliyâ' (friends, protectors, helpers, etc.), they are but Auliyâ' to one another. And if any amongst you takes them as Auliyâ', then surely he is one of them. Verily, Allâh guides not those people who are the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong doers and unjust)." (Al-Ma'idah 5:51)
