Islam Part 2
Surah 41:9-12 in the Qur'an outline the creation first given in Genesis. This story however gives us not 6 (plus one day of rest for 7) but 8 days of creation. This violates consistency with the Genesis creation story. To go further the Qur'an then contradicts itself in Surah 10:3 which gives only 6 days for creation again.
In the Qur'anic version of the Tale of the Golden Calf it is a Samaritan who helps the Israelites form the calf as they wait Moses' return from the mountain. In fact the Samaritans did not exist for another 1,000 years, long after the supposed time of the event of the calf.
The Qur'an claims Alexander the Great was a Muslim and lived to a ripe old age (Surah 18:89-98).
Historical evidence has shown that Alexander in fact died at age 33, quite young, considered himself the son of a god (Zeus) if not a god himself, and raised temples to 12 Olympian gods while in India, all in violation of Islamic law.
The Qur'an mistakenly refers to the Christian trinity as "Father, Mother and Son" when it is in fact "Father, Son and Holy Spirit".
The Qur'an refers to "Jesus" as Issa, a name more appropriately used for "Esau", where in Arabic Jesus should be Yesuwa, similar to the Hebrew Yeshuwa. The "perfect" Qur'an gets the name entirely wrong, or all Islamic scholars have falsely believed that the Qur'an mentions Jesus.
In Surah 17:1 it claims Muhammad visited the Dome of the Rock mosque in Jerusalem. The first problem with this is that the Dome of the Rock was built 58 years after Muhammad's death, in 690 (Muhammad's believed to have died in 631). Further, there was no temple of any sort at this location. The previous one had been destroyed around year 60 by the Roman Emperor Titus.
Then this just gets ridiculous:
King Solomon was taught the speech of birds (sura 27:16) and the speech of ants (sura 27:18-19). In his battles, he used birds extensively to drop clay bricks on Abrah's army (sura 105:3-4), and marched them in military parades (sura 27:17). He also used them to bring him messages of powerful queens (sura 27:20-27).
(Historical evidence shows that Abrah's army was driven out of Mecca by a plague of smallpox (Guillame, Islam, pgs.21ff))
Contradictions, variants in the invariable, and more.
