Shariah ( Islamic ) law vs Talmud ( Jewish ) law

First off, I’d like to say I realize that by writing this article I will be labeled such names as a ‘nazi jew hating racist anti semitic person’. But to those that would think this way, I would like for anyone to show me if anything I have written is not a fact directly quoted from the Jewish Talmud books. Quoting facts from the books read by Jews cannot possibly be a sign of Anti Semitism unless of course they are facts that Jews would rather the world not know.

Hypocrisy…. That word seems to ring through my ears whenever I come across any article or news item portraying Islam as a backwards women hating, freedom hating, democracy hating religion. Everywhere I turn I see more fingers being pointed at Muslims and Islam telling the world how it’s a religion of hate and war and bloodshed. Apparently whoever has been doing the research into Islam has interpreted a lot of things the wrong way, however that’s a whole other article. Let me start at the beginning.

I was sitting online today, going through the various news items of the day when I decided ‘hey, everyone’s always saying how Shariah law in Islam is wrong, lets see if any other religions have laws that state how a country should be run and people should be treated.’ Imagine my surprise when I came across the Talmud.

For those of you, like me who have never had any reason to look up anything on the Jewish faith and do not know, the Talmud is a set of Jewish Oral Laws set down on paper by learned rabbis and scholars of Judaism. Some of these same laws are the laws that govern the land of Israel. Jews have taken Talmudic law and incorporated it into government law. So far it sounds a lot like the Shariah Islamic set of law that governments such as Saudi Arabia use to run their country right?

Wrong.

Shariah law states how to treat Muslims and non Muslims in a Muslim country. In the time of conquering lands Muslims took over many countries . i.e. Spain. It is written that no non Muslim is allowed to be persecuted (I’m stating law here, how it’s put into practice is a whole other issue.. keep in mind humans have a really good knack of ruining a good idea). Let non Muslims practice their religion as they please in the privacy of their own homes, they should respect the laws of the land that they live in and will not be harassed. All that is asked is that they be given a chance to convert, if they choose not to .. even that is ok. Those that convert are welcome with open arms, those that do not convert are just taxed a certain amount of money a year.

“There is a myth that Jews (Dhimmi) living in Islamic lands had to pay 50 percent of their income in taxes (Jizya) to Muslims. This is another attempt by non-Muslim historians to re-write history and demonize the golden past between Jews and Muslims.

Islamic Law states that “if” Jews trade in Muslim countries, coming and going in them, a tenth is taken from what they invest in such trade. This is because jizya is only imposed on them on conditions, which they have agreed on. {Muwatta Book 17, Number 17.24.46}. Live stock was accepted as payment Book 17, Number 17.24.45) . Therefore, the true Islamic tax rate for non-military joining Jews was 10%, not the mythical amount of 50%”

(Compare the burden of tax ratio for Muslims and non-Muslims in Islamic and non-Islamic lands)

So far no bloodshed or hatred right? Nowhere in Islam does it say that Jews or Christians are inferior. If anything, their Prophets, Jesus and Moses are both accepted and honored in Islam.

Many people bring up the ideas of how women are disrespected and oppressed, and that Islam this ‘horrible religion’ lets men marry girls once they’ve hit puberty. Lets compare it to the Talmud:

Kethuboth 11b : "When a grown up man has intercourse with a little girl it is nothing, for when the girl is less than this [Footnote 6: "less than three years old"], it as if one puts the finger into the eye; but when a small boy has intercourse with a grown-up woman he makes her as 'a girl who is injured by a piece of wood. . . ." Footnote 1: "Although the intercourse of a small boy is not regarded as a sexual act, nevertheless the woman is injured by it as by a piece of wood" (emphasis added).

Ok…. Let me first start with ‘less than three years old’. Apparently it is thinkable in Jewish law for a man to have intercourse with a girl of three. That’s not a girl, that’s a baby. Nowhere in Islam does it state that it is ok for any man to have intercourse with a child of three. Lets dissect that entire paragraph. What I’ve been able to take away from it is this. A grown man can have intercourse with a child of 3 and it is fine as the child will be a virgin again, the hymen will grow back as she gets older. However if a young boy has intercourse with a grown woman, it will not be considered a sexual act BUT the woman will lose her virginity. That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard to date. I’d like to ask all those that point fingers at Islam and ask them to find me one place.. the one reliable source where it states that it’s ok for a man to have sex with a three year old as her hymen will grow back, BUT a grown woman will lose her virginity if she had intercourse with a young boy. Islam respects age and women, no girl who has not hit puberty can ever be touched let alone get married and have intercourse with a grown man. And no grown woman would even think of having intercourse with a young boy.

Sanhedrin 55b: A maiden aged three years and one day may be acquired in marriage by coition, and if her deceased husband's brother cohabits with her, she becomes his" (emphasis added).

In the Talmud, it clearly states that a girl of three years and one day may be married off and if her husband’s brother lives with her, she becomes his. Women according to the Talmud are a piece of property to be given away as pleased. In Islam, any woman that is widowed becomes her husband’s family’s responsibility but she is under no pressure to go and live with her husband’s brother let alone ‘become his’.

“If a daughter was once married and is at present a widow nobody has a right to interfere in her affairs, and she is like a son.”

Contrary to popular belief, women in Islam cannot be forced into a marriage that they do not approve of:

A young girl came before the holy Prophet perplexed and anxious and exclaimed:

“O Messenger of Allah. . . From the hand of this father...”

“But what has your father done to you”, the Prophet asked.

“He has a nephew”, she replied, “and he has given me in marriage to him before consulting me in the matter”.

“Now that he has done it,” said the Prophet, “you should not oppose it. Agree to it, and be your cousin’s wife.”

“O Messenger of Allah! I do not like my cousin. How can I be the wife of a man whom I do not like.”

“If you do not like him, that is an end to the matter. You have full authority. Go and make the choice of man whom you would like to marry.”

“By chance”, the girl finally admitted, “I very much like my cousin and do not like any other person but because my father did this thing without asking my consent, I have purposely come to put questions on this matter and to get your replies and hear this decision from you, and so inform all women that henceforth fathers have no right to take a decision on their own and give their daughter in marriage to anyone they like.”

Sanhedrin 55b : "What if a Jew committed bestiality in ignorance; must there have been a stumbling block and degradation (for the animal to be stoned) and in this case there is only degradation, but no sin; or perhaps for degradation alone without there having been a stumbling block (the animal is stoned)?

When I read this one, my first reaction was, how in the world can a man commit bestiality by ignorance? How can any man not notice that he is having intercourse with an animal and not a human being? I’d say that this is a very convenient loophole put in by the rabbis for men. Because I seriously doubt Moses actually wrote ‘just in case someone has sex with a sheep this is what you can do’. Secondly, the poor animal that did nothing on it’s own gets stoned to death. Why? Would that not come under animal cruelty? As if having to have intercourse with a human wasn’t bad enough, it has to be killed.

Ok, so far we’ve covered how Jewish law disrespects it’s women, allows men to have sex with three year olds and claim ignorance in having intercourse with an animal.

Let’s get to the Christian Jew relationship. Israel and the United states have a special bond as they both dislike the ‘backward religion’ of Islam. Little do the Christians realize that Judaism and Islam have more in common than any Jew would like to admit. Jews hate Jesus. Yes folks, I just said JEWS HATE JESUS. Now before you all go into shock, it gets much better. , have a read over these excerpts from the Talmud. “Christians are arrested for even having a cross displayed in their window in Israel, and Christians are jailed for 5 years in prison for seeking to proselytize Jews in Israel as well.” (Americans against Zionist Oppression and Occupation)

The Quran states in regards to Jesus:

"'Behold (O Mary!)' The Angel said, 'God has chosen you, and purified you, and chosen you above the women of all nations. O Mary, God gives you good news of a word from Him, whose name shall be the Anointed (Masih or Messiah), Jesus son of Mary, honored in this world and in the hereafter, and one of those brought near to God. He shall speak to the people from his cradle and in maturity, and shall be of the righteous.'(Jesus in Islam)

The Talmud states in regards Jesus:

In Sanhedrin :106a-106b: we see that a woman "who was the descendant of princes and governors played the harlot with carpenters." Looking at footnote number 5, we see this "harlot," notes the Talmud, "though no name is mentioned to show which woman is meant, the mother of Jesus may be alluded to" (emphasis added). We also take note that it "suggests that Balaam is frequently used in the Talmud as a type for Jesus" (emphasis added) in the same footnote. (This is also confirmed in the Jewish Encyclopedia [page not shown] where it notes that "Baalam" is just another name for "Jesus." It then goes on to say that "the pupils of the recreant Baalam inherit hell.")

In Gittin 56b-57a it discusses Baalam (Jesus) again. It says that he was "raised" by "incantations." Jesus was "then asked: What is your punishment? He replied: 'With boiling hot semen.'" (The footnote says "Jesus" is being referred to here, to avoid any confusion.) It then states their belief that there is a divine punishment given to non-Jews in an after-life: "What is your punishment? They replied: 'With boiling hot excrement, since a Master has said: Whoever mocks the words of the Sages [Talmud] is punished with boiling hot excrement.'"

Abodah Zara 26b : ". . . minim [Gentiles*], informers, and apostates may be cast in [a deep pit from which they cannot climb out], and need not be brought up" (Talmud's emphasis). *Note: The Jewish Encyclopedia clarifies that minim is used in reference to non-Jews.

The Jewish mistreatment in law of “gentiles” doesn’t just stop at disrespecting Jesus Christ, it goes on to mistreating them in daily life in things such as wages, work, land owning, :

"Similarly, the mandate concerning the oppression of or withholding wages from a hireling brother or neighbor, or a domiciled alien (Deut. xxiv, 14-15) who observes the Noachian laws, is not applicable in the case of a Gentile. This is to say a Gentile may be employed at reduced wages, which need not be paid promptly on the same day, but may be paid in accordance with the usual custom of the place. . . .

The Jewish Encyclopedia, Vol. X, p. 621, under the heading "Gentile" states that property owned by Gentiles "is considered public property, like unclaimed land in the desert." It notes that "discriminations against Gentiles . . . [is] strictly in accordance with the just law of reciprocity and retaliation, [though] seldom practiced. . . . Another reason for discrimination was the vile and vicious character of the Gentiles . . ." Also, "The Torah [Old Testament] outlawed the issue of a Gentile as that of a beast (Mik. viii, 4, referring to Ezek. l.c.)." Further, the "Talmud comments on the untruthfulness of Gentiles," referring to Gentiles as "'a band of strange children whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand (in rising to take an oath) is a right hand of falsehood'" (emphasis added).

The Jewish Encyclopedia states that the Jewish Talmud says it's OK to overcharge Gentiles but not Jews: "The Jewish law against overcharging one-sixth or more above the current price of marketable merchandise--a violation of which affected the validity of the sale--applied only to a Jew or domiciled alien, not to a Gentile" (emphasis added). It also goes on to say that "not even on Monday is the Gentile allowed to rest."

So I have to ask all the Americans and Christians around the world who see the Jewish people as their brethren…. What are you thinking??? What in the world would possess you to think that people who would actually follow laws that state that you and all others .. anyone non Jewish is a second rate citizen that is doomed to a life in hell surrounded by ‘boiling hot excrement’ as friends? No paragraph in any Islamic book condemns or insults Jesus Christ or Moses, and yet there is such hatred for Jesus in the Talmud, a Jewish oral law book set down by religion and religious scholars.

So why all the fingers pointed at Islam? Easy….its like that saying, if u want to get away with something, distract the people with something else. Very useful red herring tactic. That is what the Jewish people have done. Make your enemies fight each other so you don’t have to go to any battles, but you win all the rewards.

My question to all those supporting Israel, who have read in this article what the Talmud states (and those still in doubt I encourage you to go out and find out for yourselves if what I’ve researched is accurate or not) would be, how much longer are you going to be sheep and believe that Islam is the religion that is ‘out to get you’ when the real wolves are already in your own backyard?
