  Will you provide proof or are you just raising conjecture like most anti Islamists?

  The message of God in the Quran is consistent, it talks about the Prophets of God and the sin of Israel and the sins of the people who led astray the message of Jesus.

  The Children of Israel

  In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful:
  [17:1]
  Glory be to Him Who carried His servant by night from the Sacred Mosque to the Farthest Mosque; the environs of which We have blessed, that We might show him some of Our signs. Indeed He is the Hearing, the Seeing.

  [17:2]
  And We gave Moses the Scripture, and made it a guidance for the Children of Israel [saying] that they should not choose beside Me any guardian.

  [17:3]
  [They were] descendants of those whom We carried with Noah. Indeed he was a grateful servant.

  [17:4]
  And We decreed to the Children of Israel in the Scripture: ‘You shall indeed work corruption in the land, twice and you shall indeed become great tyrants’.

  [17:5]
  So when the time for the first of the two [prophecies] came, We roused against you servants of Ours of great might, who ransacked [your] habitations, and it was a promise fulfilled.

  [17:6]
  Then We gave you back the turn, [to prevail] over them, and We aided you with children and wealth, and made you greater in number.

  [17:7]
  ‘If you are virtuous, you are being virtuous to your own souls, and if you do evil, it is for them’. So when the time for the other [prophecy] comes, that they might ravage you, and that they might enter the Temple, just as they entered it, the first time, and that they might destroy all that they conquered, utterly.

  [17:8]
  It may be that your Lord will have mercy upon you, but if you revert, We [too] will revert; and We have made Hell a dungeon for the disbelievers.

  [17:9]
  Truly this Qur’ān guides to that which is straightest and gives tidings to the believers who perform righteous deeds that there is a great reward for them.

  [17:10]
  And that those who do not believe in the Hereafter, We have prepared for them a painful chastisement.

  [17:11]
  And man prays for ill as [avidly as] he prays for good. And mankind is ever hasty.

  [17:12]
  And We made the night and the day two signs. Then We effaced the sign of the night and made the sign of the day sight-giving; that you may seek bounty from your Lord, and that you may know the number of years and the reckoning, and everything We have detailed very distinctly.

  [17:13]
  And We have attached every person’s omen upon his neck and We shall bring forth for him, on the Day of Resurrection, a book which he will find wide open.

  [17:14]
  ‘Read your book! This day your soul suffices as your own reckoner’.

  [17:15]
  Whoever is guided, is guided only to [the good of] his own soul, and whoever goes astray, goes astray only to its [his soul’s] detriment. No burdened soul shall bear the burden of another. And We never chastise until We have sent a messenger.

  [17:16]
  And when We desire to destroy a town We command its affluent ones, but they fall into immorality therein, and so the Word is justified concerning it, and We destroy it utterly.

  [17:17]
  How many generations We have destroyed since Noah! And your Lord suffices as One Informed and Beholder of the sins of His servants.

  [17:18]
  Whoever desires the hasty world, We hasten for him therein whatever We will, for whom We please. Then We appoint for him Hell, to which he will be exposed, condemned, and rejected.

  [17:19]
  And whoever desires the Hereafter and strives for it with the necessary effort, being a believer — for such their effort will find favour.

  [17:20]
  Each We supply [to] these and [to] those from your Lord’s bounty. And your Lord’s bounty is not confined.

  [17:21]
  See how We have given preference to some of them over others. And truly the Hereafter is greater in degrees and greater in preferment.

  [17:22]
  Do not set up another god besides God, or you will sit blameworthy, forsaken.

  [17:23]
  And your Lord has decreed that you worship none save Him, and kindness to parents. If they should reach old age with you, one of them or both then do not say to them ‘Fie’ nor repulse them, but speak to them gracious words.

  [17:24]
  And lower to them the wing of humility out of mercy and say: ‘My Lord, have mercy on them, just as they reared me when I was little’.

  [17:25]
  Your Lord knows best what is in your hearts. If you are righteous, then truly, to those who are penitent He is Forgiving.

  [17:26]
  And give the kinsman his due, and the needy and the traveller [as well]; and do not squander.

  [17:27]
  Indeed squanderers are brothers of devils, and the Devil was ever ungrateful to his Lord.

  [17:28]
  But if you [have to] overlook them, seeking mercy from your Lord, [a mercy] which you expect [in the future], then speak to them gentle words.

  [17:29]
  And do not keep your hand chained to your neck, nor open it completely, or you will sit blameworthy and denuded.

  [17:30]
  Truly your Lord expands provision for whomever He will and He straitens. Indeed He is ever Aware and Seer of His servants.

  [17:31]
  And do not slay your children, fearing penury. We shall provide for them and for you. Slaying them

  The Holy Quran never become hostile against the Jews, Christians, or anybody else, you must differentiate between defending and hostility. For closest example i can gave you, look at Palestine, the Israelis want occupied the Palestinian land, so the Palestinians have the right to defend their country or land, but that does not mean to kill all Jews, only to defend yourself, for that you are not allowed to kill any human being and even in war you are not allowed to kill any Woman, Child, Elderly, and Religious Men\Women or to destroy any Church or Temple

  The inconsistency of Muhammad’s views toward Jews, Christians, and other non-muslims furnishes ample proof that he was NOT a prophet and does NOT represent God. How could he represent the eternal, unchanging God when he flip-flops time and time again?

  peace be upon those who follow the truth

  this is wrong man . read the quran and you will know why .

  the muslim can eat from the food of (the people of the book )
  the muslim can marriage from ( the women of the book )
  the prophet muhammed married a christian woman called ( maria )

  we can take the jews and the christian friend BUT not protecters .

  peace

  Qura’n’s teachings and preachings for every one is same, no matter Jew, or Christians.
  The verses you are talking about are in context of certain back ground of certain time, and God Almighjty adviced to Muslims of that time for certain dicisions.

  You are thinking are trying to say there is some kind of conficting messages ?, So NO.
  You are on wrong track.

  Lots of Jews and Christians were living during the time of Prophet Muhammad, and he displayed very good relation ship and idealy good behaviour with them , in his life and as you know for Muslim, with Quran’s terachings, Sunnah(tradition of Prophet/s) is also very important and we Muslims take those teachings, preachings and traditions as explaination for Quranic teachings.

  I would advice you to study life and traditions of Prophet as well, and Insha Allah you will be amazed, knowing some new things to you.

  i can explain, yet no muslim on here will agree.
  the quran has a doctrine of abrogation. what comes later supercedes anything earlier.
  when mo had few followers and little power he revealed peaceful verses. these are emulated by muslims such as in the west where they are a minority.
  when he gained power he used it. there he abrogated the peaceful and instead condoned first defensive, then aggressive war.
  this is like taliban al queada stuff.
  at tawba, verse of the sword, is a prime example. it abrogates like 50 other peaceful verses.

  the peaceful ones are still useful for dawah. but it is a deception to use them to revert people.

  That is not correct. We are suppose to be kind to Jews and Christians but not take them as allies. We are supposed to treat with well unless they try to harm us.

  Dont even take my my word for it. Go to the public library or something and check out a copy of the English translation of the Quran.
