Koran 17:20-21

17:20 To each [category] We extend – to these and to those – from the gift of your Lord.

And never has the gift of your Lord been restricted.

21 Look how We have favored [in provision] some of them over others.

But the Hereafter is greater in degrees [of difference] and greater in distinction.

Koran 17:20-21

Muhammad commits shirk with: “We”, “Us” or “Our”, placing Allah as a companion to himself, showing that Allah is incoherent, imaginary, and fictional, and so Islam is incoherent with monotheism, thus Islam is contradictory and false.

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.

In Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 17:20, the scholars explain what the “gift of your Lord” is:

…in this world, so that some are rich and some are poor, and others are in between; some are beautiful, some are ugly and others are in between; some die young while others live to a great age, and some die in between.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 17:20

In other words, Muhammad and the scholars are showing the variability of life along with the differences of achievement in people’s lives as the “gifts” of Allah, when quite plainly this is a lie by Muhammad and the scholars. Consider the West. The West does far better than Islamic countries, how does one explain this? One can’t. The West does better without Allah, Muslims know this and try to get to the West out of their third-world country, nation or state, and try to make the West a worse place, like what they escaped from. Thus showing by their own actions that Allah doesn’t give gifts.

This passage is simply Muhammad trying to make his imaginary afterlife a better option than life under Islam. The solution is not DEATH, but LIFE, leaving Islam, making a better life here and now, with the tools of the West. Not by being an illegal immigrant, but by encouraging all Muslims to leave Islam, take up the tools of the West, to become better. Read Niall Ferguson‘s book, “Civilization: The West and the Rest“. The tools are in there:

How did the West overtake its Eastern rivals? And has the zenith of Western power now passed? Acclaimed historian Niall Ferguson argues that beginning in the fifteenth century, the West developed six powerful new concepts, or “killer applications”—competition, science, the rule of law, modern medicine, consumerism, and the work ethic—that the Rest lacked, allowing it to surge past all other competitors.

Civilization: The West and the Rest

That means abandoning Islam. It’s a small price to pay for a better life for all.

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