Koran 2:196

And complete the Hajj and ‘umrah for Allah.

But if you are prevented, then [offer] what can be obtained with ease of sacrificial animals.

And do not shave your heads until the sacrificial animal has reached its place of slaughter.

And whoever among you is ill or has an ailment of the head [making shaving necessary must offer] a ransom of fasting [three days] or charity or sacrifice.

And when you are secure, then whoever performs ‘umrah [during the Hajj months] followed by Hajj [offers] what can be obtained with ease of sacrificial animals.

And whoever cannot find [or afford such an animal] – then a fast of three days during Hajj and of seven when you have returned [home].

Those are ten complete [days].

This is for those whose family is not in the area of al-Masjid al-Haram.

And fear Allah and know that Allah is severe in penalty.

Koran 2:196

Muhammad spoke about Allah in the third person. This means this passage is not the perfect words of the perfect Qur’an from perfect Allah. Thus, Allah is false, imaginary, and fictional, which means Islamic doctrine and Islam are nonsensical and false.

Why does perfect Allah require Muslims to travel and visit the Kaaba, and if they can’t, to perform a sacrifice? What perfect god needs this nonsense? Hint: None. This verse comes about because Muhammad is inheriting the pagan animal sacrifice customs of the Quraysh, the pagan polytheist tribe he comes from.

What’s “umrah”? The translators don’t seem to know. If Koran can’t be translated, then this means that Koran is local to Muhammad, which means Allah, Islam, Muhammad and Koran are false. For more, read Umrah, Wikipedia. If I need to use Wikipedia to work out what Umrah is, obviously Koran is not clear, and is again, local to Muhammad, which means Allah, Islam, Muhammad and Koran are false, yet again.

The animal sacrifice of cows is like the ancient cow worship of India. This should have no part in the perfect words of a perfect Qur’an from perfect Allah, who has no need of the blood or sacrifice of cows. As for sacrificing camels or goats instead, that’s obviously a substitution by people who have already sacrificed all their cows and only have goats or camels left. For more, see: Allah – Cattle God?

As for the head shaving, why does Allah need your shaved hair dropped in the desert sand? This seems like the head shaving ritual of Shivarathri which occurs on the new moon, just like Ramadan does. Why would Muhammad include Hinduism in Islam? Perhaps Allah outsources to Shiva of the Hindu religion? Or rather, the head-shaving comes from an earlier pagan religion, which is also inherited from the Quraysh, into Islam, from Ur, Mesopotamia.

But, Infidel, as Muslims, we reject human sacrifice! Yet, you accept animal sacrifice to an imaginary god who created animals, an imaginary god who requires their blood, despite owning their blood already? This is incoherent and nonsensical. Sacrifice just destroys your herds, wealth and your economy. Islamic animal sacrifice ruins Islamic society. Animal sacrifice is nearly as barbaric as human sacrifice and costs you and your society the productive value of herd animals for giving milk and for their flesh to eat and for increasing herd size. Keep the best of your animals to breed with each other, to improve them, expand your herds and make life better.

This verse is simply Muhammad including the pagan rituals of his pagan people into Islam, syncretising with pagan polytheism, with ancient India and with Hinduism, with ancient pagan religions from Ur, Mesopotamia. As such it deserves no place in Islam and Islamic doctrine, thus the best replacement for this verse is: “”, the empty sentence.
