Games Muslims Play
Given Islam's violent history and the unfavorable contrast of its oppressive practices against 21st century values, Muslims are hard-pressed to repackage their faith in the modern age. Some of its leading apologists have come to rely on tricks involving semantics and half-truths that are, in turn, repeated by novices and even those outside the faith.
This is a document (which we hope to improve on and expand over time) that exposes some of these games and helps truth-seekers find their way through the maze of disingenuous (often blatantly false) claims about Islam and its history.
If Islam were a violent religion, then all Muslims would be violent.
Other religions kill, too.
Muhammad preached 'no compulsion in religion' (Qur'an: 2:256)
The Crusades
Muhammad never killed anyone.
The Qur'an Teaches that all Life is Sacred (Qur'an 5:32)
"Muslims only kill in self-defense.
The million dollar wager that "Holy War" isn't in the Qur'an.
"Verses of violence are taken out of context."
"Islam must be true, because it is the worlds fastest growing religion."
"The Qur'an can only be understood in Arabic."
