Do the followers of Mohammed Believe in the Ten Commandments?

We have often wondered why those who follow the prophet Mohammed commit crimes against their fellow Muslims, Jews and Christians who also believe in an all powerful God that guides them in their daily lives.

Which led us to ask: Do the followers of Mohammed believe in the Ten Commandments?

Western Civilization embraced the Ten Commandments and all laws are fundamentally based upon the Ten Commandments as written in the Old Testament’s Exodus 20:2–17.

We decided to determine if Islam has what Jews and Christians have to insure moral behavior towards their fellow man and women.

We went to the Learn Religions website and found that the Ten Commandments are referenced twice in the Qur’an:

The Qur’an makes reference to the Ten Commandments twice. Quran Book 7:142–5 describes how Moses received the divine tablets. but doesn’t describe what was on them.

• “And We ordained laws for him in the tablets in all matters, both commanding and explaining all things, (and said): ‘Take and hold these with firmness and enjoin thy people to hold fast by the best in the precepts’…” (Quran 7:142–5)

The other, in Book 2, says:

• “Remember when we made a covenant with the children of Israel: You shall not serve any save God, and to be good to parents, and the near kinsman, and to orphans, and the needy, and speak good to all people, and perform the prayer, and pay the alms.” (Quran 2:83–4)

Here is what Learn Religions says about Islamic and Judeo Christian rules of behavior:

Early and classic Muslim commentators discussed the belief that the Israelites broke the Covenant made at Sinai, and conjecture what the tablets were made of: but in the end, to Muslims, it doesn’t matter what was written on those tablets, because the Quran is the perfect iteration of divine law. The Qu’ran’s commandments are found in (Quran 6:151–153), and although they are not completely in concordance with the Jewish Ten Commandments, there are some parallels.

Here’s a chart showing commandments in Islam (Quran 6:151-153) and Christianity (Exodus 20:2-17):

Learn Religions concludes with this statement,

Thus, while Islam doesn’t exactly have its own “Ten Commandments,” it does have its own versions of many of the basic prohibitions given in the Ten Commandments. Because they accept the Bible as an earlier revelation of God they don’t object to things like displays of the commandments in public spaces. At the same time, though, they aren’t likely to see such displays as a religious duty or necessity because as described above they don’t accept the absolute authority of the Bible.

The Bottom Line

Jerry Newcombe in a column titled “Crime and No Punishment” wrote:

What’s happening in America today with our crime wave is bad anthropology run amok. Biblical anthropology asserts that man is sinful and crimes need to be punished. Bad anthropology, like that espoused by Marxists, asserts that man is basically good—but that it’s society or structures that are bad and need to be torn down. Instead, the theory goes, we will rebuild these structures to be more just, affirming the goodness of man. We see the results now being carried out by coddled criminals on the streets.

The Democrat Party has fully embraced the idea of tearing down society and/or structures to further their idyllic policies of diversity, inclusion and equity.

Amongst those structures that must be torn down are synagogues, churches and mosques. For Marxists religion is the opiate of the people.

Those members of Congress and also followers of Mohammed have embraced and voted to move these myths forward.

On May 2nd, 2022 The Federalist’s Ryan Davison in a column titled “Bill Would Allow Feds To Purge U.S. Military And Local Police Using Charges Of Thought Crimes” reported:

H.R. 350 would give federal agencies the power to classify as ‘domestic terrorism’ whatever bureaucrats consider a ‘hate crime.’

A bill in Congress would create new domestic terrorism units within the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Justice, and FBI tasked with spying on Americans considered terrorist threats, then investigating and prosecuting them.

H.R. 350, also known as the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act (DTPA) of 2022, is making its way through the House Judiciary Committee. It would give federal law enforcement agencies the power to classify as “domestic terrorism” whatever the federal government considers a “hate crime.” One of the new “domestic terrorism” agencies the bill would create would focus on “domestic terrorism matters that may also be hate crime incidents.”

These new “domestic terrorism” agencies would also “ensure that such programs include training and resources to assist…law enforcement agencies in understanding, detecting, deterring, and investigating acts of domestic terrorism and White supremacist and neo-Nazi infiltration of law enforcement and corrections agencies.”

Of course, many of those in power consider the Constitution and patriotism to be acts of “white supremacy.” That is openly stated by purveyors of the 1619 Project and its effective champions in the federal bureaucracy.

If this bill passes two of America’s most important protectors of the U.S. Constitution and our laws would be fundamentally transformed.

Though crimes are the weapons of choice of those who want to change our culture, society, structures and Constitutional Republican form of government.

The followers of Mohammed and the followers of the Democrat Party are in tune with one another. They collectively want to replace America with a dystopian form of tyranny. If you do not bow down to Mohammed or Democrats then you are an enemy of the state.

It appears that Islam has become politicized and joined with Democrats in furthering policies that are against the Qur’an’s commandments.

For example the Qur’an states, “You shall not kill your children on a plea of want; we provide sustenance for you and for them.” Yet Muslims who are members of the Democrat Party do not speak out against not condemn abortion.

Herein lies the problem.

Islam, like Judaism and Christianity must be above politics.

God is greater than any government. Not to obey God and His commandments is sacrilegious. As both the Qur’an reads, “Ascribe nothing as equal with God.”

And thus ends the lesson on the fillers of Mohammed and the Ten Commandments.
