Introduction to Article (2):

1- According to the piece of news written in the Egyptian independent opposition newspaper ''Al-Masry Al-Yom'' on 29^th of November, 2012, the Egyptian State Security Court sentenced seven defendants to receive the capital punishment, in absentia, within the case concerning the movie made by them with the intention to insult Prophet Muhammad. The names of those seven persons sentenced to death in absentia are as follows: Morris Sadek, Morcos Aziz Khalil, Esmat Zaqalama, Nabeel Adeeb Bisada Moussa, Elia Basseley, Nahed Mahmoud Metwalli, and Nader Fareed Fawzy Nicola. To these names, the name of the American anti-Islam pastor Terry Jones was added. This court sentence was issued by the head-judge of the court, Seif-Al-Nasr Suleiman, along with two judges named M. Amer Gadou and Hassan Ismail Hassan, in the presence of Khaled Diaa, the head of the Higher Egyptian State Security Police, and its secretary Adel Abdel-Hameed. According to the newspaper, once the court sentence was pronounced, lawyers and those present hailed and shouted in joy religious slogans such as ''Allahu Akbar!'' and ''Alhamdulillah!'' (i.e., ''God is the Greatest'' and ''Praised be the Lord'', respectively). This scandal is unprecedented in the history of Egyptian courts; namely, the defense lawyers allied themselves with the police against the absent defendants. Moreover, it is unprecedented in the history of Egyptian courts to sentence defendants to death in absentia in accordance to the law concerning the so-called ''contempt of religion''. This is a bad, corrupt law that violates human rights, but its stipulated punishment is imprisonment for one up to five years, and NOT the capital punishment at all, as per the current Egyptian law system.

2- The Egyptian authorities have revoked the Egyptian citizenship of the lawyer Morris Sadek, who lives in the USA. Despite the wide intellectual difference between us and Morris Sadek, we have published here a statement in the name of IQC denouncing such an unjust measure and the unjust court sentence that sentenced to death in absentia those who have insulted Prophet Muhammad in a movie. We maintain here that such sentence is indeed insulting to Islam and it contradicts God's Quranic sharia. We have demanded that the Grand Mufti of Egypt should not participate in such crime by endorsing the court sentence, or else, he would be a veritable enemy of God and His messenger. We have demanded in our statement that judges who issued such sentence must get the sack because they have tarnished the reputation of Egypt and the image of Egyptian judicial system. We have explained how this unjust sentence asserts the deep infiltration of extremist Sunnite Ibn Hanbal doctrine-based Wahabism in the mentality of Egyptians. Hence, to achieve political victory over Wahabi terrorists (i.e., Salafists and the MB members) by forcing them out of power is not enough; what is more dangerous is the infiltration of Wahabism, disguised as ''Islam'', within Egyptian Muslims. It is of vital importance to prove using the Quranic verses how Wahabis disbelieve in the Quran and contradict it. this is intellectual war of ideas is being done so far exclusively by Quranists, without any support or aid from victims of Wahabism worldwide. In Article (1) of this book, we have proven the contradiction of this court sentence with the real and only Sunna of Muhammad: the Quran.      

3- In Article (2) below, we tackle how this insulting court sentence contradicts the main principle of the real Islamic sharia found exclusively in the Quran, rejected by Wahabis (terrorist MB group + Salafist groups). This main principle is religious absolute freedom for all human beings, so as religion is judged only by God in the Last Day. Hence, it is un-Islamic and immoral to allow a State or a country to interfere in the relation between a human being and God in the fields of faith, tenets, rituals, acts of worship, proselytization, call, writings, expression, conversions, etc. as all such fields require absolute freedom to all citizens, as per the Quran and as per human rights. In Quranic sharia, it is absolutely and strictly forbidden to allow people to meddle in the above-mentioned religious fields by imposing certain practices or ideas on others, by means of coercion and compulsion using laws or terrorist force. In earthly, man-made Sunnite-Shiite religions, among other fabricated religions in the globe, compulsion in religious matters and affairs is the main notion applied by clergymen who control and oppress people in theocracies and tyrannical regimes: the KSA for instance that oppress Arabian people. Agents of the KSA in Egypt reached power in 2012; the terrorist MB group wants ardently to repeat the Wahabi/Saudi model of tyranny in Egypt by their MB-dominated constitution that will enable them to own and control Egyptian citizens using the Wahabi wicked religion. Most of Egyptian citizens will be victimized by the terrorist MB rule: those victims will be non-Wahabi Sunnites, Sufis, moderate Sunnites, atheists, seculars, Coptic Christians, (and the minority of Protestants and Catholics), Baha'is, and Quranists. Those victims will suffer compulsion in religion imposed by Wahabism. Yet, they may be saved when awareness is raised enough regarding the flagrant contradiction between Islam (the Quran alone) and Wahabism, especially in the main Quranic principle of absolute religious freedom.         

Article (2): This Insulting Court Sentence Contradicts the Main Principle of the Real Islamic Quranic Sharia: Absolute Religious Freedom

Firstly: the principle of absolute religious freedom and the individual responsibility of every human soul for its choice, in the Day of Resurrection:

   God asserts in the Quran the main principle of absolute religious freedom for all human beings who will bear responsibility for their choices in the Last Day: "And say, "The truth is from your Lord. Whoever wills-let him believe. And whoever wills-let him disbelieve". We have prepared for the unjust a Fire, whose curtains will hem them in. And when they cry for relief, they will be relieved with water like molten brass, which scalds the faces. What a miserable drink, and what a terrible place. As for those who believe and lead a righteous life-We will not waste the reward of those who work righteousness. These will have the Gardens of Eden, beneath which rivers flow. Reclining on comfortable furnishings, they will be adorned with bracelets of gold, and will wear green garments of silk and brocade. What a wonderful reward, and what an excellent resting-place." (18:29-31). God says the following about the freedom of people to believe or to disbelieve in the Quran: "Say, "Believe in it, or do not believe." Those who were given knowledge before it, when it is recited to them, they fall to their chins, prostrating." (17:107). God forewarns against Hell for those who despise and mock the Quranic verses "Those who despise Our revelations are not hidden from Us. Is he who is hurled into the Fire better? Or he who arrives safely on the Day of Resurrection? Do as you please; He is Seeing of everything you do." (41:40). On the contrary, the Sunnite religion sharia laws include putting to death those who rejected Islam, those who convert to other religions, those who become atheists, and those who spread novel ideas in religion apart from forefathers' notions! To top it all, Sunnite Wahabis imposed a corrupt law in Egypt regarding imprisonment of those who show 'contempt of religions', a law applied only to protect Wahabism from being discussed and refuted by thinkers and writers.   

Secondly: Quranic faith tenets and legislative (sharia) rules that assert the principle of absolute religious freedom in Islam:

   This main principle is asserted in the Quran by many Islamic faith tenets and legislative rules, as we explain below.

1- Every soul will carry its burden of sins/mistakes, and not those of others, this is a main principle in the Quranic legislation, repeated in several verses: : "Say, "Am I to seek a Lord other than God, when He is the Lord of all things?" No soul gets except what it is due, and no soul bears the burdens of another. Then to your Lord is your return, then He will inform you regarding your disputes."(6:164). "Whoever is guided-is guided for his own good. And whoever goes astray-goes astray to his detriment. No burdened soul carries the burdens of another, nor do We ever punish until We have sent a messenger."(17:15)."…No bearer of burden can bear the burden of another. Then to your Lord is your return; and He will inform you of what you used to do. He is aware of what the hearts contain."(39:7). This Quranic legislative principle is basic in the divine religion; it has been included in revelations given to Abraham and Moses: "Or was he not informed of what is in the Scrolls of Moses? And of Abraham, who fulfilled? That no soul bears the burdens of another soul. And that the human being attains only what he strives for. And that his efforts will be witnessed. Then he will be rewarded for it the fullest reward. And that to your Lord is the final destination." (53:36-42). Sadly, Middle Eastern tyrants never apply this Quranic principle; rather, they punish the families of their foes and take them hostages, and in many cases, some tyrants razed down whole villages. We fear that Egyptian Christian Copts would pay a heavy price of the folly of Morris Sadek and the others, as the terrorist MB and Salafists are clever only in oppressing the weak and forcing the innocent to shoulder responsibility and blame, even if those weak/innocent are Copts or Wahabi ordinary persons. This evil ways are main part of Sunnite legislations concocted by Ibn Taymiyya: to allow murdering Muslims to spite or entrap the enemies! Hence, some poor lower-rank MB members would be sacrificed whenever necessary! Let alone Copts! What a shame!  

2- Governments are not supposed to guide ''spiritually'' or ''religiously'' its citizens to the Hereafter; this is an individual,  personal responsibility: "Whoever is guided-is guided for his own good. And whoever goes astray-goes astray to his detriment…" (17:15). "Whoever does a good deed, it is for his soul; and whoever commits evil, it is against it; then to your Lord you will be returned." (45:15). There is no room for injustice in the Last Day: "Whoever acts righteously does so for himself; and whoever works evil does so against himself. Your Lord is not unjust to the servants." (41:46). As God has created heavens and earth with justice, every soul will be judged justly: "God created the heavens and the earth with justice, so that every soul will be repaid for what it has earned. And they will not be wronged." (45:22).Responsibility is shouldered as per what it fits one's abilities: "God does not burden any soul beyond its capacity. To its credit is what it earns, and against it is what it commits…" (2:286); hence, disbelievers pave their way to Hell on their own free choice, and believers pave their way to Paradise on their own free choice as well: "Whoever disbelieves, upon him falls his disbelief. And whoever acts righteously-they are preparing for themselves." (30:44). "…"Give thanks to God." Whoever is appreciative-is appreciative for the benefit of his own soul. And whoever is unappreciative-God is Sufficient and Praiseworthy." (31:12). "…He who is grateful, his gratitude is to his own credit; but he who is ungrateful-my Lord is Independent and Generous" (27:40). Thus, as in is a personal, individual responsibility, God has said the following to the Israelites: "If you work righteousness, you work righteousness for yourselves; and if you commit evil, you do so against yourselves…" (17:7). The same meaning has been addressed to contemporaries of Muhammad: "Here you are, being called to spend in the cause of God. Among you are those who withhold; but whoever withholds is withholding against his own soul…" (47:38). "…Whoever breaks his pledge breaks it to his own loss. And whoever fulfills his covenant with God, He will grant him a great reward." (48:10).     

3- Muhammad had not the responsibility to guide anyone; his mission was confined to conveying the Quranic message: "heir guidance is not your responsibility, but God guides whom they are willing to be guided..." (2:272), and as guiding oneself is one's responsibility fully, Muhammad could not guide whom he loved among his contemporaries; those who chose belief will be guided by God, and those who chose disbelief will be misguided by God: "You cannot guide whom you love, but God guides whom He wills, and He knows best those who are guided." (28:56). As guidance is a personal choice, Muhammad had no mission but to convey the Quran and warn others solely by it: "And to recite the Quran, whoever is guided  is guided to his own advantage, and whoever goes astray, then say, "I am one of the warners."" (27:92). So, Muhammad was not responsible for anyone in that respect: "We sent down upon you the Book for mankind in truth. He who follows guidance does so for the good of his soul. And he who strays in error does so to its detriment. You are not their overseer." (39:41). "Say, "O people, the truth has come to you from your Lord. Whoever accepts guidance is guided for his own soul; and whoever strays only strays to its detriment. I am not a guardian over you."" (10:108). ""Insights have come to you from your Lord. Whoever sees, it is to the benefit of his soul; and whoever remains blind, it is to its detriment. I am not a guardian over you."" (6:104).     

4- A salient notion in the Quran is the fact that there is no compulsions in religion, and Muhammad could not have possible forced anyone to believe or to meddle in people's choices (between belief and disbelief), as his sole mission was to convey the Quran and not to control others: "So remind. You are only a reminder. You have no control over them. But whoever turns away and disbelieves.God will punish him with the greatest punishment. To Us is their return. Then upon Us rests their reckoning." (88:21-26). That is why God has reproached Muhammad when he pressed some persons to urge them to believe in the Quran; God has told him that he could not force people at all: "Had your Lord willed, everyone on earth would have believed. Will you compel people to become believers?" (10:99). This is the application and interpretation of the following verse: "There shall be no compulsion in religion; the right way has become distinct from the wrong way…" (2:256). Even captured soldiers who fought early Muslims were not forced to convert; they were coaxed to hear the Quran to make sure the message was conveyed to them rightly, were treated kindly and charitably, and were set free to safety: "And if anyone of the polytheists asks you for protection, give him protection so that he may hear the Word of God; then escort him to his place of safety. That is because they are a people who do not know." (9:6).   

5- Debatable issues and disputes over religious matters and affairs will be settled by God in the Day of Judgment, and NOT by human judges or any judicial bodies on earth.

5/1: By religious disputes, we mean debates and opposite, conflicting views regarding religious opinions, rituals, speeches, declarations, call, proselytization, and using all sorts of media to propagate and convert people. This entails further brief explanation. It is a universally acknowledged fact that religious life of people is based on divisions and differences in views and stances; this is part of human nature created by Almighty God: "Had your Lord willed, He could have made humanity one community, but they continue to differ. Except those on whom your Lord has mercy-for that reason He created them…" (11:118-119). This shows life as a test to everyone; those who seek guidance faithfully should use the Quran, God's Word, as the sole criterion in spiritual guidance: ""Shall I seek a judge other than God, when He is the One who revealed to you the Book, explained in detail?"…" (6:114). Those who reject Quran do so of their own free will and choice, bearing responsibility for this in the Last Day. It is typical in religious history of humanity that most of those who followed a prophet of God would misguide themselves and move away from the righteous path, especially by deifying the dead prophet, as the case with Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad, while creating new sects, denominations, doctrines, etc. following their whims, and sadly, such religious disputes are usually linked to murders, military fights, inquisitions, and establishing theocracies. Anyway, despite such differences in visions regarding God and faith tenets, all human beings in the Last Day will be divided into two throngs: a pious minority that believes in ''There is no God but Allah'' and a vast majority that deifies mortals (prophets, saints, clergymen, and historical figures) within polytheistic man-made creeds, especially these fabricated creeds which they claim to be pertaining to Moses, Jesus, or Muhammad. Hence, divisions and denominations increase: Orthodox, Catholics, Protestant churches, Sufis, Sunnites, and Shiites, let alone their countless sub-creeds and sub-groups.            

5/2: The above point reminds us of God's words in this verse: "Here are two adversaries feuding regarding their Lord…" (22:19). This verse indicates that all denominations and cults and creeds …etc. will eventually be divided in the Last Day into two minority and majority groups we have mentioned, and in this world, disputes over the 'right' faith' or believe will go on. The losers are the ones who deify and worship deities/gods beside the Almighty and submit to clergymen/mediators, while winners are the ones who dedicated their faith and good deeds devoutly to the One and True God alone: "…As for those who disbelieve, garments of fire will be tailored for them, and scalding water will be poured over their heads. Melting their insides and their skins. And they will have maces of iron. Whenever they try to escape the gloom, they will be driven back to it: "Taste the suffering of burning." But God will admit those who believe and do good deeds into Gardens beneath which rivers flow. They will be decorated therein with bracelets of gold and pearls, and their garments therein will be of silk." (22:19-23).

5/3: As there will always be adversaries feuding regarding God, as per 22:19), no adversary would be allowed to judge another adversary; rather, the matter is left to the Eternal Judge during the Day of judgment; the Almighty will tell humanity who have been in the right and who have been on the wrong: those who have worshipped, revered, sanctified, and glorified God alone without any other partners or associates with Him or those polytheists who deified, sanctified, and worshiped mortal creatures like prophets, saints, imams, clergymen, scholars along with tombs, locations, and items of things. Accordingly, since God is the Sole Judge of all of the above differences in faith and belief, no human court is to be allowed to judge others based on religions/atheism or regarding rituals, tenets, and proselytization. These fields must be free zones for all human beings, to allow them the freedom to choose, leaving judgment on that matters to God alone in the Hereafter. All human beings differ and dispute in such affairs; no mortal should be allowed to judge others in terms of faith/belief, as neutrality and justice will never be available in such matters. 

5/4: God asserts in the Quran the fact that He is the Only Judge of human beings in the Hereafter: "Say, "Our God, Initiator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of all secrets and declarations. You will judge between your servants regarding what they had differed about."" (39:46), as He is the Omnipotent and Omniscient. Hence, mortals who judge others within inquisitions are thus committing the sin of self-deification. This is a grave issue asserted repeatedly in the Quran: "Say, "Am I to seek a Lord other than God, when He is the Lord of all things?" No soul gets except what it is due, and no soul bears the burdens of another. Then to your Lord is your return, then He will inform you regarding your disputes." (6:164). This entails further explanation below.

5/4/1: We know from the Quran that God will judge the Israelites and settle their religious disputes in the Last Day: "And We settled the Israelites in a position of honor, and provided them with good things. They did not differ until knowledge came to them. Your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection regarding their differences." (10:93). We discern here that the Israelites differed I religious views after the divine revelation ended, and they will be judged reading such views in the Hereafter: "Your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection regarding everything they had disputed" (32:25). "We gave the Israelites the Book, and wisdom, and prophecy; and We provided them with the good things; and We gave them advantage over all other people. And We gave them precise rulings. They fell into dispute only after knowledge came to them, out of mutual rivalry. Your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection regarding the things they differed about." (45:16-17). This applies to their differences regarding the Sabbath: "The Sabbath was decreed only for those who differed about it. Your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection regarding their differences." (16:124). If the Israelites had sought guidance, they should have found it in the Quran: "This Quran relates to the Israelites most of what they differ about. And it is guidance and mercy for the believers." (27:76-77). Eventually, judgment is postponed till the Last Day, as the Quran repeated for assertion: "Your Lord will judge between them by His wisdom. He is the Almighty, the All-Knowing." (27:78).

5/4/2: Likewise, when followers of Jesus disputed over his being a deity or mortal prophet, God has postponed judgment over both sides to the Last Day: "God said, "O Jesus, I am terminating your life, and raising you to Me, and clearing you of those who disbelieve. And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return; then I will judge between you regarding what you were disputing." (3:55).   

5/4/3:  Of course, unsettled religious disputes and conflicts are chronic and deep-seated between Christians and Jews, and as always, God has postponed judgment over both sides to the Last Day: "The Jews say, "The Christians are not based on anything;" and the Christians say, "The Jews are not based on anything." Yet they both read the Scripture. Similarly, the ignorant said the same thing. God will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection regarding their differences." (2:113).    

5/4/4: When the Quran was revealed, some People of the Book (i.e., Christians and Jews) rejected it and some believed in it and converted to Islam. God urges believers in the Quran and People of the Book to compete for good deeds, and NOT for fanaticism, evil, sins, and aggression, while postponing judgment among all human beings to the Last Day: "…Had God willed, He could have made you a single nation, but He tests you through what He has given you. So compete in righteousness. To God is your return, all of you; then He will inform you of what you had disputed." (5:48).   

5/4/5: Likewise, the case of disputes between Muslim Quranists and those Muhammadans who worship, sanctify, and deify mortals, locations, tombs, and things and still call themselves as' Muslims' will be judged by God in the Last Day; He will decide which party has been true Muslims (i.e., submitters) to Him. God tells us in the Quran about the very essence of Islam: to dedicate one's religion to God alone: "We sent down to you the Book with the Truth, so serve God, devoting your religion to Him. To God that sincere faith is due…" (39:2-3). And then, God tells us about how wrong are those who deify and worship mortals/human beings as mediators to get nearer to Almighty God and how judgment among all human beings is postponed to the Last Day: "…As for those who take guardians besides Him, "We only worship them that they may bring us nearer to God." God will judge between them regarding their differences. God does not guide the lying blasphemer." (39:3). God warns polytheists in the following verse: "If you disbelieve, God is Independent of you, yet He does not approve ingratitude on the part of His servants. And if you are thankful, He will approve that in you. No bearer of burden can bear the burden of another. Then to your Lord is your return; and He will inform you of what you used to do. He is aware of what the hearts contain." (39:7).   

5/4/6: This theme of postponing judgment to the Last Day includes judging Prophet Muhammad and his foes and detractors: "But if they dispute with you, say, "God is fully aware of what you do." God will judge between you on the Day of Resurrection regarding what you disagree about." (22:68-69). God has said to Muhammad that he and his foes will surely die and each side will defend their cause and accuse each other before the Almighty in the Last Day: "You will die, and they will die. Then, on the Day of Resurrection, you will be quarrelling before your Lord." (39:30-31). This Quranic fact is rejected today by the Muhammadans who believe in myths like Muhammad alive in his grave, reviewing acts and deeds of 'Muslims' to ask pardon for them as he would act as mediator on their behalf in the Day of Judgment. Ancient Muhammadans of the Middle-Ages have fabricated falsehoods and lies that are today called ''hadiths'' to pass off their lies as 'tenets' of belief, including legalizing as sharia performing pilgrimage to a pagan mausoleum in Yathreb ascribed to Muhammad as his grave. It is a miraculous prediction that God refutes such myths to appear later on when He asserts the death of Muhammad and his foes  and their quarreling on equal footing with each other as two sides, in the Quranic text, while Muhammad was still alive and receiving the Quranic revelation. This is done to refute eternal life ascribed by Muhammadans to Muhammad after his death and before the Day of Judgment. Another miraculous predictions of the Quran is when God tells us about those who fabricate lies and falsehoods that contradict the Quran and ascribe them to God and His religion: "Who is more evil than he who lies about God, and denies the truth when it has come to him? Is there not in Hell room for the ungrateful?" (39:32). Hence, we can safely say that the terrorist MB members and the Salafists as well as other followers of earthly, man-made creeds of the Muhammadans will suffer eternally in Hell in case of non-repentance before their deaths.       

Lastly:

 The points above are about differences and disputes that would not reach the degree of violence, massacres, persecution, and driving away foes out of their homes. In such cases, immigration for those who can is a must; otherwise, self-defense fighting is a necessity for those who can, for the higher purpose of stopping persecution in matters of religion, so that religion pertains to God alone as the Sole Judgment of it in the Last Day: "Fight them until there is no more persecution, and religion becomes exclusively for God. But if they desist-God is Seeing of what they do." (8:39). Hence, we urge the Egyptian people to intellectually face and fight the Salafist-MB unjust and terrorist rule within open discussion, and in case these terrorists would kill and fight Egyptians with arms, retribution is a must and a religious duty: "And fight them until there is no oppression, and worship becomes devoted to God alone. But if they cease, then let there be no hostility except against the oppressors. The sacred month for the sacred month; and sacrilege calls for retaliation. Whoever commits aggression against you, retaliate against him in the same measure as he has committed against you. And be conscious of God, and know that God is with the righteous." (2:193-194). God says nothing but the Truth, despite the fact that the Truth is hated and shunned by polytheistic terrorist Wahabi MB and Salafists.
