Muslim Caliph Burns Qurans

[fyrenza]

Islam holds that the Qur’an was revealed from Allah to Muhammad orally through the angel Jibrīl (Gabriel) over a period of approximately twenty-three years, beginning in 610 CE, when he was forty, and concluding in 632 CE, the year of his death.[2][6][7] Muslims further believe that the Qur’an was memorized, recited and written down by Muhammad's companions after every revelation dictated by Muhammad. Most of Muhammad's companions--tens of thousands—learned the Qur’an by heart, repeatedly recited in front of Muhammad for his approval or the approval of other Sahaba Muhammad had approved. The companions also compiled it in written form while Muhammad was alive. Muslim tradition agrees that although the Qur’an was authentically memorized completely by tens of thousands verbally, the Qur’an was still established textually into a single book form shortly after Muhammad's death by order of the first Caliph Abu Bakr suggested by his future successor Umar.[8] Hafsa, Muhammad's widow and Umar's daughter, was entrusted with that Quran text after the second Caliph Umar passed away. When Uthman, the third Caliph, started noticing differences in the dialect of the Qur’an, he requested Hafsa to allow him to use the Qur’an text in her possession to be set as the standard dialect, the Quraish dialect aka Fus'ha (Modern Standard Arabic). Before returning that Qur'an text to Hafsa, Uthman immediately made several copies of Abu Bakar's Qur’anic compilation and ordered all other texts to be burned. This process of formalization of the orally transmitted text to Abu Bakar's Qur'anic text is known as the "Uthmanic recension".[9] The present form of the Qur’an text is accepted by most scholars as the original version compiled by Abu Bakr.[9][10]

History reveals that quran burning is an acceptable way to destroy any copies that a spiritual leader disapproves of,

so any OUTRAGE over this topic by supposedly PEACEFUL muslims would be absolutely laughable if not for the HATRED evinced and the VIOLENCE that has been threatened.

Considering all of the various versions of the quran, and the multitude of sects within the religion,

it comes as no surprise that these sects are at war with one another, each believing their sect to be the One True religion,

and instead of burning all of another sect's version of the quran, they just MODERATELY and TOLERANTLY go about the business of ANNIHILATING each other.

I mean, why burn books when you're instructed to get down with MURDER and MAYHEM by your chosen version of what God has ordered you to do?

Why can't they all annihilate each other and leave us alone?

Probably this was the thought of a relative who lost his cousins on a wedding in Iraq.
Family members lost by US bombs.

The world does not solely turn around you, Ozmar.

It also reveals that the Quran was not as unchanged or protected as well as the Quran claims.

Do you live in same time as the Caliph over 1.000 years ago or do you live in modern days in an enlightened environment? Why do you voluntarily put yourself into same conditions of the Caliph, who is main-actor in your thread?

What shall this thread proove except your a backwards personality trying to justify your own position with actions witnessed a milenia ago.
Ridiculous thread.

The EXACT same practices are in play,

in TODAYS islam, in case you haven't noticed...

The EXACT same practices are in play,

TODAY, in case you haven't noticed...

I've noticed: Replace "Muslims" and "Kuran" with
- Blacks
- Gays
- Jews
and 90% of users would distance from such sentences instead of agreeing with them.

Probably because the statements would be LIES ~

those demographics don't seek to FORCE their belief systems upon the rest of the world,

NOR do they cite writings from 1400 years ago to excuse/defend themselves.

It really doesn't matter how enlightened I am. Those primitive assholes can kill me just as easy with their backward practices as the guy down the street with his enlightened vies. As a matter of fact, those primitive assholes are more likely to want to kill me that enlightened guy down the street.
