The Hadith are authoritative and any sentient Moslem who actually reads about his own cult and its dogma, and who can struggle through the mountainous volumes of the Hadith; should be alarmed that Sharia Law is premised largely on these works coupled with the Koran. In fact, Moslem 'scholars', or cult propagandists as they should be named, believe that the Hadith are as divinely inspired as the Koran and are therefore legitimate as sources of 'law'.

Considering that the most authoritative Hadith was compiled by Bukhari more than 200 years after the totalitarian Muhammad's death, this must surely strike the rational observer as somewhat perplexing. Bukhari was simply a scribe, not a prophet, not a healer, not a man of spiritual faith, but a Moslem apologist who compiled some 7000 verses to try and explain the inexplicably bad Koran. There is no evidence that he or the Hadith are 'divinely inspired'.

In any event the Hadith give Islam a very bad name. A certain Moslem 'scholar', a Dr. Muhammad Hamidullah, in his book, 'Introduction to Islam', states that 'the custodian and repository of the original teachings of Islam' are found 'above all in the Quran and the Hadith' (p. 250). He adds that 'the Quran and the Hadith' are 'the basis of all [Islamic] law' (p. 163).

Another Moslem apologist and respected as a 'thinker' on Islam, one Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan wrote an encyclical entitled, 'The Translation of the Meaning of Sahih Al-Bukhari' and he confirms the following:

-The Quran and the Hadith are both based on divine inspiration' (p. 23).

-[Allah] revealed to him [Bukhari] the Glorious Quran and the Second Inspiration, i.e., his Traditions.

-It is incumbent upon you to strive hard to do righteous deeds according to the traditions of Muhammad as is clearly expressed in his Hadith (p. Xvii).

Khan believes that Moslems must obey the Koran and Hadith to the letter and 'strive' to spread Islam by any way possible. In this line of 'thought' the Koran and Hadith are portrayed as divinely written and this is confirmed in Bukhari, in Hadith no. 643, vol. 9.

However, the real history of the Koran reveals that there are many Korans, many pre-Muhammadan phrases and writings which are in the Koran; and that the Koran itself was written long after Muhammad's death in the Arabic dialect of the Quraish and that even today there are 4 known versions of the Koran. As a matter of record, Bukhari's Hadith confirm that the Koran was put together by the Caliph Uthman after Muhammad died. The fact that the Quran is missing certain verses and that other verses were abrogated is admitted in the Hadith in vol. 4, nos. 57, 62, 69, 299; vol. 6, nos. 510, 511.

There is a couple of points to be made about the Hadith. First is that they espouse Jihad and violence against Infidels. Second, they were written 200 years post the Jihad's founder's death and are hardly liable to be accurate or true. Third, they reinforce the fraudulent nature of the Koran, being written by humans, and are full of mistakes, and rather incoherent. Fourth, they do not contain a spiritual-ethical program which is universal or immanent. It is a dichotomous cult. Be nice to Moslems. Convert, kill or dominate the rest.

The Hadith are explanatory volumes, trying to untangle the rubbish and gibberish one finds in Mein Koran.  They are notations and commentaries designed to clarify the actions and beliefs of Muhammad the war leader, brigand and violent reactionary, named a ‘prophet’ by those who know little about his cult.  As with Mein Koran the Hadith are littered with odes of violence and poetic injustice against Infidels and non-Muslims.  It matters not if you are the pious Atheist (the stuff happens religion), or the earnest face-diapered covered Rona-ist (the 0.3% death rate virus), or the practicing Catholic or indifferent Protestant or Jew.  Your world lies outside that of the Muhammandan cult.  You must repent, submit, obey, convert or be destroyed.

A few Hadith amongst many which promote Jihad and the killing of the Infidel [ape and pig] deemed necessary to appease the Al-Lah (Baal of Mecca).  The pious and Jihadic enough Muslim shall be rewarded with eternal paradise [and virgins, water, wine, nubile boys].

Killing Unbeliever Children is fine:

19:4457 - The Messenger of Allah used not to kill the children, so you should not kill them unless you could distinguish between a child who would grow up to be a believer and a child who would grow up to be a non-believer, so that you killed the prospective non-believer and left the prospective believer alive.

Women and slaves get nothing from Jihad:

19:4458 - Yazid b. Hurmuz asked: Do the woman and the slave get a share of the booty if they participated in Jihad. Ibn Abbas said: You should know that there is nothing of the sort for them except that they will be given a prize.

Muhammad led many military campaigns against the Infidel, setting the prime example for male Muslims to follow:

19:4464 - Abu Ishaq narrated: I met Zaid b. Arqam. I asked him: How many military expeditions did the Messenger of Allah undertake? He said: Nineteen expeditions. I asked him: On how many expeditions did you accompany him? He said: On seventeen expeditions.

Allah expects that you do 'battle':

19:4466 - Jabir b. Abdullah said: I fought in the company of the Messenger of Allah in nineteen battles. I did not participate in the Battle of Badr and the Battle of Uhud. My father prevented me as my age was tender. After 'Abdullah (my father) was killed on the Day of Uhud, I never lagged behind the Messenger of Allah and joined every battle he fought.

Only Moslems can fight for Muhammad:

19:4472 - The Messenger of Allah set out for Badr. When he reached Harrat-ul-Wabara a man met him who was known for his valour and courage. The Companions of the Messenger of Allah were pleased to see him. He said: I have come so that I may follow you and get a share from the booty. The Messenger of Allah said to him: Do you believe in Allah and His Apostle? He said: No. The Messenger of Allah said: Go back, I will not seek help from a Mushrik (idol worshipper). The man returned and overtook him at Baida'? The Messenger asked him as he had asked previously: Do you believe in Allah and His Apostle? The man said: Yes. The Messenger of Allah said to him: Then come along with us.

Jihad for the sake of Allah and Muhammad is holy:

SB 1:35 -The Prophet said, 'The person who participates in Holy battles for Allah's cause and nothing compels him to do so except belief in Allah and His Apostles, will be recompensed by Allah either with a reward, or booty (if he survives) or will be admitted to Paradise (if he is killed in the battle as a martyr). For Jihad I would have loved to be martyred in Allah's cause and then made alive, and then martyred and then made alive, and then again martyred in His cause.'

Given the general ignorance of the self-imploding ‘Western civilisation’, these and other examples of Muslim intolerance are primed and re-painted as sonnets of love and tolerance and embraced by the unwashed and illiterate as truisms of the same.
