Introduction: It is a fact that Muhammad faced harassment in Mecca. There are incidents in Islamic history books testifying to this fact. Muslims take such narrative to claim that Muhammad and his followers were treated with cruelty; so they had to “flee” to Medina. The prophet was lucky to be able to escape.
Such a narrative of the Meccan's cruel persecution of Muhammad and his community does not hold up in light of the facts cited in Islamic historical documents.

Introduction
Muslims claim that the Qur’an mentioned the shape of the earth to be like an egg in the 7th century, long before modern science discovered this fact. Such a scientific fact, and similar ones, Muslims claim, convince us of the divine origin of the Qur’an.
On the other hand, many non-Muslims claim that the Qur’an did not mention the above fact at all. In fact, to the contrary, the Qur’an specifies that the earth is flat, thus reiterating false scientific fact believed by the 7th century humans.
Who is correct? And who is not? This article aims at answering such a question. I will divide this article into the following sections:

The Book
Muhammad – the prophet of Islam – was a sensual prophet. He married many women. Many of his “marriages” targeted beautiful young widows and often they became widows through Muhammad’s aggression against their tribes. Muhammad and his rogue bandits killed the able men, stole the fortunes of the tribe, and enslaved and raped the women. Muhammad was the head of the growing Muslim brigand. He aimed make the most beautiful ones amongst the captive women his own. He usually “married” (raped?) them in the days following the attack on their tribe. The Muslims men also got their share of women and sex in the days following the Muslim attack. Thus “sex” was at the heart of Islamic imperialism.

After the horrible 9/11 Islamic terrorist incident, the then president George W. Bush declared “Islam is a religion of Peace”. Bush knew what Islam is all about. After all, he studied “Sirat Rasul Allah” and the “Qur’an”. Hadith book volumes are on the main shelve for his daily readings.

Introduction: The Qur’an is an evil book disguised as a holy one. Hatred of other human beings, just because they have different beliefs, is the celebrated recipe of the book. There are many Suras (chapters) in it that personify evil in a multi-dimensional colorful array.
One of the most evil Suras in the Qur’an, in my view, is Sura 8, titled "Al-Anfal", which translates literally as "The Spoils of War".
