Koran 3:75-76

3:75 And among the People of the Scripture is he who, if you entrust him with a great amount [of wealth], he will return it to you.

And among them is he who, if you entrust him with a [single] silver coin, he will not return it to you unless you are constantly standing over him [demanding it].

That is because they say, “There is no blame upon us concerning the unlearned.”

And they speak untruth about Allah while they know [it].

76 But yes, whoever fulfills his commitment and fears Allah – then indeed, Allah loves those who fear Him.

Koran 3:75-76

Muhammad is describing Allah in the third person. Thus this passage is not the perfect words of the perfect Qur’an from perfect Allah.

Note that Muhammad is approving of the behaviour of one man of the “People of the Scripture” and disapproves of the behaviour of another man of the “People of the Scripture”, then condemns all of the “People of the Scripture” for the actions of just one man. This is an unfair generalisation and worse, this applies only to the one man of the “People of Scripture” of Muhammad’s time and place, his context. Muhammad can’t even name these two men, in his haste to hatred.

You’ll note as well that “People of the Scripture” is longer and less clear than “Jews and Christians”.

Note that Muhammad is not quoting real people, but placing his own words in their mouths in his head: “they say”. This is delusional behaviour.

Muhammad’s Muslim bandits were stealing chicken and sheep while in “battle”, murdering innocent people who were defending their own lives from Muhammad’s violence:

…a man asked Ibn `Abbas, “During battle, we capture some property belonging to Ahl Adh-Dhimmah, such as chickens and sheep.”

Ibn `Abbas said, “What do you do in this case”

The man said, “We say that there is no sin (if we confiscate them) in this case.”

Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 3:75

If you’re honest, you would call this evil theft and robbery, a great sin. The 10 commandments have “Do not steal” as one of the commandments. Yet, here’s Muhammad’s Muslim bandits and their leader, Ibn ‘Abbas, approving of theft, robbery, while committing banditry.

Muhammad’s hasty generalisations and the bad behaviour of his Muslim bandits condemn Islam as a religion for bandits who steal from the innocent. The one man who returns money entrusted to him and the man who returns just one coin are far better men than Muhammad’s bandits as recorded by Muhammad and by the Tafsir. That second man? It’s likely he’s doing that, in response to Muhammad’s banditry. Muhammad’s evil rebounds upon himself.

The best replacement for this passage is: “”, the empty sentence.
