Koran 8:17-18

8:17 And you did not kill them, but it was Allah who killed them.

And you threw not, [O Muhammad], when you threw, but it was Allah who threw that He might test the believers with a good test.

Indeed, Allah is Hearing and Knowing.

18 That [is so], and [also] that Allah will weaken the plot of the disbelievers.

Koran 8:17-18

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.

This passage refers to Muhammad’s time and place, his context. As such it has no place in the perfect words of the perfect Qur’an from perfect Allah, thus showing that these words come from Muhammad, as the passage itself shows with the quote of Muhammad: “That [is so], and [also] that…”, as he throws his spears into his innocent fellow tribes-people, the Quraysh. Thus Allah is imaginary, fictional and false, which means Islamic doctrine and Islam are false and nonsensical.

Notice carefully here:

…it was Allah who threw that He might test the believers with a good test.

Excerpt, Koran 8:17-18

Muhammad is admitting here that Allah possessed him. A real god does not need this. An idol can’t do this. But an evil demon could do this. So what is Allah? A demon, or an anti-social personality in Muhammad. Either way, this shows Allah isn’t a real god but is either an idol or demon, unworthy of worship.

Muhammad admits that Allah is an evil god: “it was Allah who killed them.” Except that we dealt with this before. Allah doesn’t control death. It’s Muslim bandits who kill, not Allah. Muhammad also contradicts this in numerous places in Muhammad’s recitation, Muhammad’s Koran, with:

2 It is He who created you from clay and then decreed a term and a specified time [known] to Him;

Koran 6:2

A “specified time” means that weapon strikes or spears thrown by Muslim bandits and Muhammad would have no effect on other people. Check also with Muhammad:

158 And whether you die or are killed, unto Allah you will be gathered.

Koran 3:156-158

Note the lack of action by Allah in the “die” or “killed” part. And again:

…their killing of the prophets…

Koran 4:155-159

If the Jews killed “the prophets”, then Allah was not involved in that killing.

Another involves Muslim martyrs. Note that the cause of death is due to the martyr’s decision, not Allah’s non-existent decision.

74 So let those fight in the cause of Allah who sell the life of this world for the Hereafter. And he who fights in the cause of Allah and is killed or achieves victory – We will bestow upon him a great reward.

Koran 4:74

And to emphasize Muhammad’s view that Allah can kill without the need for Muslims to strike with weapons or throw spears, see:

243 Have you not considered those who left their homes in many thousands, fearing death?

Allah said to them, “Die”; then He restored them to life.

Koran 2:243

So this passage shows the incoherence of Muhammad’s theology and his ideology of Islam. He claims that Allah with a single “Die” can cause “many thousands” to die, yet requires Muslims to throw spears in a battle to end a disbeliever’s life. This incoherence shows Allah is incompetent, thus Allah is incoherent, imaginary, fictional and false, which means Islamic doctrine and Islam are incoherent and false.

Muhammad shows Allah is incompetent: “Allah will weaken the plot of the disbelievers.” Yet, this refers to Muhammad and his men in battle against his fellow Quraysh, Muhammad’s fellow tribes-people. Allah, according to Muhammad earlier, could simply say “Die” and all the unbelievers would be dead. Allah is incompetent and so is incoherent, imaginary, fictional and false, which means Islamic doctrine and Islam are incoherent and false. As such, the best replacement for this passage is: “”, the empty sentence.
