Muslim ≠ Christian

What’s the difference between Muslims and Christians in general? Muhammad tells Muslims:

Do not greet the Jews and the Christians before they greet you and when you meet any one of them on the roads force him to go to the narrowest part of it.

Sahih Muslim 2167a

Logically, if Islam was the successor to Christianity and so to Judaism, Muslims should greet Jews and Christians and be polite to them. But, according to Muhammad, Islam is meant to replace all other religions, to provide Muhammad with his wealth through unfair taxation, banditry and looting. In Muhammad’s time, Muhammad praised Christians as being better than his Muslims. That admission by itself shows that Christianity is far better than Islam.

Christians vs Muslims: The New Generation Battles!

Satan Torments Muslims

Satan, enlarged.

One crucial difference, according to Muhammad, is that Muslims are tormented by Satan, in their nose:

The Prophet said, “If anyone of you rouses from sleep and performs the ablution, he should wash his nose by putting water in it and then blowing it out thrice, because Satan has stayed in the upper part of his nose all the night.”

Sahih al-Bukhari 3295

And in their ears:

It was mentioned before the Prophet that there was a man who slept the night till morning (after sunrise). The Prophet said, “He is a man in whose ears (or ear) Satan had urinated.”

Sahih al-Bukhari 3270

Muhammad claims that yawning comes from Satan:

The Prophet said, “Allah loves sneezing but dislikes yawning; so if anyone of you sneezes and then praises Allah, every Muslim who hears him (praising Allah) has to say Tashmit to him. But as regards yawning, it is from Satan, so if one of you yawns, he should try his best to stop it, for when anyone of you yawns, Satan laughs at him.”

Sahih al-Bukhari 6226

There’s more hadith like the above.

Demon Inside

The thunder is the words and the thoughts are the lightning.

Muhammad admits to having a devil or demon inside himself:

Narrated AbulAzhar al-Anmari:

When the Messenger of Allah went to his bed at night, he would say: “in the name of Allah, I have laid down my side for Allah. O Allah! forgive me my sin, drive away my devil, free me from my responsibility, and place me in the highest assembly.”

Sunan Abi Dawud 5054

Notice that at night, Muhammad prayed to Allah to: “drive away my devil”. Obviously, Allah was ineffectual and Muhammad had a demon in him.

Muhammad claims that Muslims have a demon inside them too:

Jabir reported the Prophet as saying, “Do not visit women whose husbands are away from home, for the devil circulate in you like your blood.”

He was asked if this applied to him also and said, “To me also, but Allah has helped me against him so that I may be safe.”

Mishkat al-Masabih 3119

Recall that Muhammad desired his adopted son’s wife for himself, then abolished adoption and married his ex-adopted son’s wife. Obviously, Allah didn’t help.

Abu al-Malih reported on the authority of a man:
I was riding on a mount behind the prophet. It stumbled. Thereupon I said: “May the devil perish!”

He [Muhammad] said: “Do not say: ‘May the devil perish!’ For you say that, he will swell so much so that he will be like a house, and say: ‘by my power’. But say: ‘in the name of Allah’; for when you say that, he will diminish so much so that he will be like a fly.

Sunan Abi Dawud 4982

Aisha, the wife of Allah’s Apostle, reported that one day Allah’s Messenger came out of her (apartment) during the night and she felt jealous. Then he came and he saw me (in what agitated state of mind) I was. He said:

“Aisha, what has happened to you? Do you feel jealous?”

Thereupon she said: “How can it be (that a woman like me) should not feel jealous in regard to a husband like you.”

Thereupon Allah’s Messenger said: “It was your devil who had come to you”.

And she said: “Allah’s Messenger, is there along with me a devil?”

He said: “Yes.”

I said: “Is a devil attached to everyone?”

He said: “Yes.”

I (Aisha) again said: “Allah’s Messenger, is it with you also?”

He said: “Yes, but my Lord has helped me against him and as such I am absolutely safe from his mischief.

Sahih Muslim 2815

Notice that Aisha doesn’t recognise a demon inside herself, only her jealousy. Muhammad lies about his demon, as he is up to mischief already, as shown in his action earlier.

Abdullah b. Mas’ud reported that Allah’s Messenger said:

“There is none amongst you with whom is not an attache from amongst the jinn (devil).”

They (the Companions) said: “Allah’s Messenger, with you too?”

Thereupon he said: “Yes, but Allah helps me against him and so I am safe from his hand and he does not command me but for good.”

Sahih Muslim 2814 a

Allah and the other idols

Muhammad nowhere claims that people of other religions have demons or devils inside them, except for worshippers of Allah, his own tribe, where he says in his Koran that they become devils to himself.

19:81 And they have taken besides Allāh [false] deities that they would be for them [a source of] honor.

82 No! They [i.e., those “gods”] will deny their worship of them and will be against them opponents [on the Day of Judgement].

83 Do you not see that We have sent the devils upon the disbelievers, inciting them [to evil] with [constant] incitement?

84 So be not impatient over them.

We only count out [i.e., allow] to them a [limited] number.

Koran 19:81-84

Again, this passage refers to Muhammad’s tribe, the worshippers of Allah and the rest of the idols:

43:36 And whoever is blinded from remembrance of the Most Merciful – We appoint for him a devil, and he is to him a companion.

37 And indeed, they [i.e., the devils] avert them from the way [of guidance] while they think that they are [rightly] guided

Koran 43:36-37

Muhammad’s tribe again:

And indeed do the devils inspire their allies [among men] to dispute with you.

And if you were to obey them, indeed, you would be associators [of others with Him].

Koran 6:121

If you’re a Muslim, you can be like Aisha and Muhammad’s companions, denying having a devil companion and a satan in your nose. But if you’re denying all that, why not deny all of Islam and leave it?

Prayer

Muslims Praying on Street Corner

In Judaism and Christianity, prayer is personal and private and can be continuous in the most devout. In Islam, prayer is public and a group ritual, babbling nonsense to impress Muhammad. Jesus condemns this kind of prayer. For more, read The Lord’s Prayer.
