Top Ten Qur’an Verses for Understanding ISIS

Visit AnsweringMuslims.com.

Jihadists fighting for ISIS (the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) claim that they are following the commands of Allah and Muhammad. Yet Westernized Muslims, politicians, and the media insist that ISIS is violating the principles of Islam. Who’s right? In the following video, I present the top ten Qur’an verses you need to know to understand ISIS.

    Thank you David Wood. Excellent job as usual.

  • gustavusadolphus

    Excellent as usual, Mr.Wood. But, on the “no compulsion in religion” verse that people quote to show that Islam is tolerant, I read somewhere that that is not the correct interpretation of the verse. In fact it apparently means that a Muslim does not have to do certain duties, if he can’t due to certain circumstances. So no contradiction with the later verses if that is true.

    • ObamaYoMoma

      Since it conflicts with the latter issued infamous sword verses of the Koran that obligate all Muslims to wage jihad against all infidels and all religions until such time as Islam and its followers have been made supreme, it has been abrogated per the doctrine of abrogation.

    Allah is Satan. That is why Muslims are taught to love death, yet Jews and Christians are taught to love LIFE because God IS LIFE and LOVE. Jesus Christ said death is an enemy that would be defeated.

    Muslim Brotherhood did the same deeds in Egypt during and after the ‘Arab Spring.’

    Islam has been consistently barbaric throughout its sordid, bloody history. There have been 23,788 murderous, hate-based Islamic jihad attacks since 9/11/01.
    ISIS movements are not new to Islam: http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/2014/08/what-is-wrong-with-isis-is-what-is.html

    Islam is ISIS and ISIS is Islam.

    • ObamaYoMoma

      Muslim Brotherhood did the same deeds in Egypt during and after the ‘Arab Spring.’

      The Muslim Brotherhood is nothing but a mainstream orthodox Muslim group dedicated to reestablishing the glory of Islam. It is similar to ISIS in that regard.

      It’s sort of like the Tea Party, which is a group of mainstream orthodox Americans organized because of their concern for the out of control spending and accelerated growth of the power hungry federal government that has occurred under both Republican and Dhimmicrat Presidential administration since the end of the Reagan administration, as if both political parties in this country today have morphed into being two sides of same Leftwing Marxist Totalitarian coin.

      • Conniption Fitz

        The Muslim Brotherhood is nothing but a murderous, terrorist, racist, misogynist, brutal mainstream Islamic group.

        • ObamaYoMoma

          I agree with everything you said with one exception. Muslims are not terrorists. Instead, they are jihadists, i.e., Mujahideen (holy warriors), waging jihad (holy war) by any and all means both violent and non-violent, against all infidels in the cause of Allah to ultimately make Islam and its followers supreme. Thus, jihad is far more substantial than only terrorism, and it also involves the entire Islamic community (ummah) as opposed to just a few radicals and extremists that perpetrate terrorism here and there.

          Meanwhile, they don’t target and murder innocent civilian infidels in cold-blood because they are terrorists. Instead, they only employ “total warfare” tactics per the dictates of Sharia and also because murdering innocent civilian infidels in cold-blood is the weak underbelly of infidel society.

          Viewing Muslims as being terrorists because they murder innocent civilian infidels in cold-blood is a very false analogy based on emotions that besides hides the fact that all Muslims are jihadists in one form or another as opposed to just a few radicals and extremists, also opens the door to all kinds of other idiotic scapegoating to explain away their behavior.

          For instance, GWB occupied two Muslim countries to do nation-building to lift up Muslims and to democratize the Islamic totalitarian world, (which is literally impossible), because according to his view, “poverty and despair” are the “root causes” of terrorism. Meanwhile, his so-called “war on terror” has turned into an unmitigated disaster, exactly because terror isn’t even an Islamic manifestation. Instead, it is a very false analogy based on raw emotions. Indeed, Muslims don’t murder innocents because they are terrorists, instead they do it because they are obligated to per the dictates of Sharia. A very big difference.

            Ain’t nothing holy about Islam.

          • Frances

            thank you “Obama YoMoma” for the lesson. I do believe in knowing your enemy. please continue in educating us on our enemy.

  • Docs357

    I thought we need to stop them. Bombs and bullets. Get rid of Obama and get a real American in there. They need to be waiving white flags nothing less.

    • ObamaYoMoma

      No we don’t need to stop them. We need to stop Islam. Big difference.

  • Ellsworth Toohey

    muramard would be proud of ISIS.

  • marlene

    any muslim who declares that ISIS radicalized the koran is lying to you. all muslims read the same book. “moderate” mean stealth.

  • marlene

    by the way – i noticed 2 different versions of the koran – one found in mosques and in the homes of muslims and the other on the market being sold to the rest of us.

  • gustavusadolphus

    David, thank you for that. Clearly compulsion is ALWAYS possible by some rule or other in Islam. I can’t remember where I read the interpretation I had suggested.

    I wonder if you saw the video of a Christian who converted to Islam after being captured by ISIS. He said the statement of conversion (the shahada (?)), and then was beheaded anyway because one of his captors said his prayer was not a true prayer. It seems that even conversion is no guarantee of mercy in Islam.

  • http://www.GodAuthoredBible.com geneww1938

    Please read the Koran … It is Satan’s counterfeit of God’s Bible and teaches its followers to hate, destroy and kill every thing and person that God’s Bible loves and created.

    You can not find any reference to “agape” type love, forgiveness, restoration of a fallen [even their own] believer … They are anti-God.

    Every person who refuses to take a pledge to uphold the USA Constitution and could be pressured into accepting a call to Jihad must be considered a felon and must be removed from every position that can not be filled by a convicted felon.

    This is very serious. It is your life and that our your loved ones.

  • ObamaYoMoma

    A Westernized Muslim is either a devout mainstream orthodox Muslim duping gullible useful idiot infidels via taqiyya, i.e., deception, which, by the way, is also a form of stealth jihad, or otherwise a blasphemous apostate that according to the dictates of Islam must be executed. In other words, just like there are no radical Muslims and moderate Muslims, there are also no Westernized Muslims either. They are all political correct myths created by Western moonbats to explain away the behavior of Muslims that don’t comport themselves according to the superior culture they are misrepresented as being by the PC multiculturalists.

    Furthermore, when an infidel confronts a Muslim about denouncing ISIS and its actions and that Muslim reacts by saying that the actions of ISIS are un-Islamic, insinuating at the same time that members of ISIS are radical Muslims that practice a radical version of Islam as opposed to the mainstream orthodox version of Islam that they practice, that Muslim is practicing taqiyya, i.e., he is lying through his teeth.

    By the same token, any and all infidels that ignorantly claim that ISIS members are radical Muslims that practice radical Islam, as opposed to mainstream orthodox Muslims practicing mainstream orthodox Islam, are gullible useful idiot infidels that have been duped by taqiyya practicing mainstream orthodox Muslims, and that latter group contains the vast overwhelming majority of infidels in the world today.

    As a matter of fact, most of the TV and Radio pundits and most of the politicians on either side of the political aisles and their supporters as well reside in that latter group of gullible useful idiot infidels today. Indeed, the vast overwhelming majority of Americans are gullible useful idiot infidels, including many of the writers that post articles here on FPM.

    In any event, Islam is not a religion anymore since per the doctrine of abrogation, all the earlier issued peaceful verses of the Koran that once made Islam a religion have all been abrogated, i.e., superseded and replaced, by the infamous sword verses of the Koran that they conflict with. Therefore, the practice of Islam should be outlawed and banned in America.

    Indeed, the universally accepted throughout Islam doctrine of abrogation holds that when two verses of the Koran conflict with each another, the latter issued verse of the Koran, i.e., the one that was issued later on in Muhammad’s career, abrogates, that is supersedes and replaces, the earlier issued verses of the Koran.

    Thus, since the infamous sword verses of the Koran that obligate all Muslims to wage jihad (holy war) against all infidels and all religions until such time as Islam and its followers have been made supreme, were some of the very last verses of the Koran issued by Muhammad shortly before his death, those infamous sword verses have the effect of abrogating all the earlier issued peaceful verses of the Koran they conflict with and that once made Islam a peaceful religion.

    Therefore, since Islam is not a religion but a very totalitarian ideology instead, its practice thereof should be outlawed and banned in the USA ASAP. If someone can prove me wrong on this, then, by all means, have at it! Excuse me, though, if I won’t hold my breath.

  • Texas Patriot

    David Wood is doing marvelous work in helping non-Muslims to understand the teaching and life example of Muhammad and his followers, and for that we should all be grateful.

  • Mona Moselhy

    Mr. Wood or who ever you are first you are just interpreting or giving half the verse always half because the second half makes you a liar and that what you are for people who do not know anything about Islam and Quran your words will tremendously affect them and they further carry more hatred for Muslims and Islam for real Muslims you are such a worthless liar. ISIL are not Muslims they are well made Artificial fanatics they do not belong to Islam or to Muslims. Islam is the religion of love, mercy and tolerance and i will not give 10 example as the respectable wood did just the first phrase you read before starting any Verse is in the name of God the infinitely compassionate and merciful.

    • Softly Bob

      Oh dear, here we go again. Muslims are the biggest terrorists one the planet but there’s always one moron willing to defend them. Instead of calling people liars and telling them that they’ve misinterpreted verses in the Q’uran, why don’t you tell us what the verse really means then?
      Go on, go through it word for word and explain what the verse really means.
      So for example when it says that ‘Allah is severe against unbelievers’ what does that really mean?
      Does it mean that Allah is nice to unbelievers, that he showers them with confetti and fluffy kittens.
      The truth is, all you can do is call somebody a liar but can’t say why they are a liar. Please go through all the verses that David Wood gave and educate us with their real meanings.
      But you can’t can you?
      You can’t because Muslims are the only liars here.

      David Wood knows the Q’uran and so do I, so don’t even go there trying to fool us. I understand what the Q’uran means, you slimy, fork-tongued slug.
      I’m sick of Muslims calling non-Muslims liars. You Muslims are thoroughly disgusting and Islam is pure evil.

  • ObamaYoMoma

    So to you a verse that has been translated from Arabic into the English language by people with no training in Islam somehow means that all jihadists are now terrorists? Oh Okay. Meanwhile, violent jihad, which always and only employs only “total warfare” tactics per the dictates of Sharia can’t cast terror into the hearts of infidels? Give me a break.

    Apparently you have been so indoctrinated by the mass media and our exceedingly political correct society that you can no longer see the forest for the trees. Plus branding jihadists as being terrorists is far more offensive than just labeling them what they actually are, i.e., violent jihadists. So let’s continue misunderstanding Islam and also continue scapegoating Muslims that wage jihad violently as being terrorists at the same time, so moonbats and other assorted loons can blame it all on some sort of ridiculous reasons. Ron Paul say it is America’s interventionist foreign policies, and the left says it is American greedy Capitalism. Meanwhile, GWB occupied two Islamic countries to lift up Muslims out of poverty, because like an unhinged loon he thought “poverty and despair” were the “root causes” of terrorism. Indeed, you sound exactly like a GWB supporter and Karl Rove acolyte.

  • ObamaYoMoma

    Oh Okay, then it’s taqiyya. Not to mention that striking terror in the hearts of infidels is a far cry from making terrorism somehow synonymous with jihad, as jihad is far more substantial than terrorism in that it is a war waged against all infidels to ultimately make Islam and its followers supreme. Not to mention that while terrorism has traditionally been perpetrated by only radicals and extremists and for a myriad of reasons, on the other hand, all Muslims in the world are jihadists in some fashion or another and jihad is always and only for the aforementioned cause.

    In addition, jihadists don’t murder innocent civilian infidels because they are terrorists, which is why most people believe they are terrorists. Instead they do it because they only employ “total warfare” tactics per the dictates of Sharia.

    • Frances

      thank you again, it is now clear that Jihadists believe in the total war as per the dictates of Sharia.
      by any chance are you a Muslim ? I ask this because you seem knowledgeable, and I wish not to make a mistake in my understanding.

      • ObamaYoMoma

        No…I can assure you that I’m not a Muslim. As a matter of fact, a person can’t be a Muslim and a person who exposes the truth about Islam at the same time, as that would make them in essence a blasphemous apostate, i.e., an infidel who rejected the truth of Allah. Meanwhile, all infidels that reject the truth of Allah must be summarily executed per the dictates of Islam, as they can never be allowed to live.

        I’m just a person who has studied Islam, Islamic history, and the Islamic totalitarian world intensely.
