Robert Spencer is rebuked for his false allegation that Prophet Muhammad (p) raped his wife, Safiyyah (ra). This is a huge lie. A lie which flies in the face of scholarship. In this video we see scholarship expose Robert Spencer for the liar that he is.
Robert Spencer's Rape Lie
Robert Spencer just highlighted his ignorance as Saffiyah was given the choice between being set free and going back to her people or marrying Prophet Muhammad (p). She chose to marry Prophet Muhammad (p), see this citation from the biography writer Martin Lings:
He [the Prophet Muhammad - Ed.] then told Safiyyah that he was prepared to set her free, and he offered her the choice between remaining a Jewess and returning to her people or entering Islam and becoming his wife. “I choose God and His Messenger,” she said; and they were married at the first halt on the homeward march.5 Sourced from:
There was no rape.
A quick synopsis on the situation of Safiyyah (ra). After the battle of Khaiber she became a captive. Prophet Muhammad (p) gave her the option of going back to her people or staying with the Muslims and marrying him. She CHOSE to marry him.
She loved the Prophet a great deal and even mentioned that she never met anybody with better character/manners than the Prophet (p).

Jesus taught people to do the Will of God (according to Mark 3:35) in order to become his brothers, mothers or sisters. A Muslim means one who submits to the Will of God. Do you want to become a brother of Jesus? If yes, become a Muslim. Now is the time.

A man who was banned from speaking in Britain because of his views on Islam faced off Saturday against a defender of that faith in a debate about whether Islam is a religion of peace.
ReplyDeleteRobert Spencer, director of the Jihad Watch blog, took the position that Islam is not peaceful and insisted his detractors are missing the point.
“What I say is true, and in the immortal words of Jack Nicholson … ‘You can’t handle the truth,’ ” he said during the debate sponsored by Ave Maria Radio, an Ann Arbor-based Catholic station.
Spencer is the author of 12 books, including two New York Times best sellers about Islam, but has been labeled by the Southern Poverty Law Center as part of the center’s Anti-Muslim Inner Circle.
Spencer was challenged by Shadid Lewis, regional director of the Muslim Debate Initiative, who insisted that Islam is, in fact, a religion of peace. Lewis said he had agreed to participate in the debate because there’s a need to respond to Spencer and others who criticize Islam. “If we remain quiet, then it gives the appearance that Robert knows what he’s talking about,” Lewis said.
The debate was part of a daylong conference at Eastern Michigan University attended by more than 500 people on the topic of Islam and peace. The school has come under criticism for allowing the event to be held and released a statement saying, “As a public institution, and under the freedom of speech protections provided by the First Amendment, we do not and cannot make determinations about access to our facilities based on the viewpoints being presented.”
Victor Begg, senior adviser of the Michigan Muslim Community Council, said the idea that EMU had no choice in hosting the event is absurd. “We respect the freedom of speech. However, denying the Holocaust, yelling ‘fire’ in a theater or glorifying Hitler would not constitute freedom of speech,” he said.
(CNN) -- Bloodshed exploded Saturday throughout Iraq as at least 64 people were killed in a wave of bombings and more than 190 people were wounded during Eid festivities marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan, two Interior Ministry officials told CNN.
ReplyDeleteThe violence in Iraq came as Muslims celebrated the recent completion of Ramadan's monthlong fasting. It followed a July that was the bloodiest in five years, when violence between Sunnis and Shiites -- both Muslim sects -- spun out of control.
Saturday's death toll included reports by Baghdad police that at least 22 people were killed and more than 40 others wounded in eight car bomb exploded in Shiite neighborhoods.
In Tuz Khurmatou, about 180 kilometers, or 112 miles, north of Baghdad, at least eight people were killed and more than 40 others were wounded when a suicide car bomber exploded on a commercial corridor.
Tuz Khurmatou is an ethnically mixed city of Arab, Kurd and Turkmen residents.
In Mosul, at least eight people were killed and 12 others were wounded in two separate explosions in the city. Mosul is a largely Sunni city about 400 kilometers, or 248 miles, north of Baghdad.
In Nasiriya, a car bomb exploded on a busy road, killing four people and wounding 12 others. Nasriya is located in the heavily Shiite region of southern Iraq, about 400 kilometers outside of Baghdad.
In Karbala, about 100 km south of Baghdad, a car bomb exploded near a bus station, kills two people and wound 15 others. Karbala is a Shiite city.
The bloodshed appears to mark a new round of violence to hit Iraq in recent months, much of it stemming from decades-old discord between Sunnis and Shiites, the two largest branches of Islam. (Continue Reading.)

ReplyDeleteUh you mean Spencer just got schooled and exposed By Muslim Debater Shadid Lewis. Spencers points were refuted and Shadid even exposed Spencer's dishonest use of Islamic text such as when Spencer Quoted Surah 4:89, but failed to quote the very next verse 90, which Shadid took advantage of to expose to the audience how Spencer was mis-informing them by failing to quote the very next verse that said "Except those who join a group with whom there is a treaty of peace, or those who approach you with hearts restraining them from fighting you and from fighting their own people".The very next verse which Spencer intentionally failed to quote speaks of peace treaties with Muslims and Non-Muslims. Spencer was the one who Got School and exposed!
ReplyDeleteHaaaa, Shadid is here to defend himself. you should have used that energy in your debate with Robert. what happened? Anyway, maybe you can save your energy for your next debate where you should lose again. Islam is a lie.
