Two former Muslims responded June 12 to complaints from Islamic groups that a speaker's comments at the Southern Baptist Pastors' Conference in St. Louis were "bigoted" and "hateful."
National media have widely reported that Jerry Vines, pastor of First Baptist Church, Jacksonville, Florida, described Muhammad as a "demon-possessed pedophile" during a June 10 sermon and that Vines inferred that Islam teaches the destruction of non-Muslims.
Clarifying that Vines not only quoted from their recent book, Unveiling Islam, Emir and Ergun Caner said Vines also
quoted from the Hadith, a highly respected source for Islamic teaching among Muslim clerics and followers worldwide.
The Hadith itself verifies that Muhammad married a 6-year- old girl and consummated the marriage when she was 9, the professor-brothers said...
The specific Hadith citation concerning Muhammad's pedophilia is in Volume 7, Book 6, Numbers 64 and 65...
"The comments in question cannot be considered bigotry when they come from Islamic writings," Ergun Caner said.
A lengthy passage from the Hadith, Volume 1, Book 1, Chapter 1, shows that Muhammad himself believed he was under demonic influence; but it notes that Muhammad's wife is the one who deemed his experience as "divine," Ergun Caner said.
Concerning terrorism and Islamic jihad, Emir Caner noted variant interpretations by Muslims themselves. Some see jihad as a "spiritual war," and others, "physical," he said.
"Some Muslims want to allegorize their own scriptures because they don't want to defend jihad," Emir Caner said. "But if you take the Koran at its word, or Muhammad at his word, then you'll find physical jihad."
The highest level of Muslim heaven,
which has 70 perpetual virgins on couches, is reserved for Muslims who "shed their blood," said Ergun Caner, referencing Hadith 135.
Islam's tilt toward violence, Emir Caner said, also is reflected in the Koran: "Slay the enemy where you find him, Surah 9.92."
"...But the Muslim who commits acts of violence in jihad does so with the approval of Muhammad.
"When 9/11 happened, we were all shocked. But where was the international outrage when jihad killed three million people in Sudan?" Ergun Caner asked...
The Koran says Allah "is as close as your jugular vein, which is a place of fear, not of faith," Emir Caner said. "As Muslims, grace was a foreign word to us," he said, having noted ... that the only way a Muslim can be assured of Heaven outside of dying in jihad is [if] his good works outweigh his bad ones.
