My Challenge to Alan Colmes

Mr.Colmes has stated that there is no such thing as “radical Islam”, and he also clams that what Islamic terrorists are doing is not in the name of true Islam. (See video below.) His statements make me wonder if he has ever even read the Islamic scriptures. Here are just a few excerpts.

Hat tip to Crash Politics.

YUSUFALI: Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): “I am with you: give firmness to the Believers:
I will instil terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them.”

YUSUFALI:
This because they contended against Allah and His Messenger: If any contend against Allah and His Messenger, Allah is strict in punishment.

Volume 1, Book 8, Number 387:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:

Allah’s Apostle said, “I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: ‘None as the right to be worshipped but Allah.’ And if they say so, pray like our prayers, face our Qibla and slaughter as we slaughter, then their blood and property will be sacred to us and we will not interfere with them except legally and their reckoning will be with Allah.” Narrated Maimun ibn Siyah that he asked Anas bin Malik, “O Abu Hamza! What makes the life and property of a person sacred?” He replied, “Whoever says, ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah’, faces our Qibla during the prayers, prays like us and eats our slaughtered animal, then he is a Muslim, and has got the same rights and obligations as other Muslims have.”

Volume 4, Book 52, Number 220:
Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah’s Apostle said, “I have been sent with the shortest expressions bearing the widest meanings, and I have been made victorious with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy), and while I was sleeping, the keys of the treasures of the world were brought to me and put in my hand.” Abu Huraira added: Allah’s Apostle has left the world and now you, people, are bringing out those treasures (i.e. the Prophet did not benefit by them).

So according to Colmes, Mohammad himself must not of practiced true Islam. I am emailing this post to him via Facebook, with a challenge for a debate on Islam on my Facebook wall. Lets see if he even bothers to respond.
