The opinion of "George Bernard Shaw" in " The Holy Bible"?

George Bernard Shaw ,that famous and the global thinker and writer read the Bible. He was surprised of its oddity and atrocities . He stunned when he read the Song of Solomon ,the adulterer prophets, incest and the sexually scandalous words that scratch the modesty of girls and kids. He said his famous sayings :-

"The most dangerour book on earth "the bible " .keep it under lock and key. Keep the bible out of your children's reach"

" الكتاب المقدس" هو أخطر كتاب علي وجه الأرض . احتفظ به تحت القفل وتحت المفتاح . احتفظ به بعيدا عن متناول الأطفال "

Are you seriously taking the personal opinion of an atheist as any kind of authority on the Bible? Have you read what he said about Islam?? I would provide you with the quote but as to its content being in all likely hood offensive to muslims. I will not do so. Suffice to say it is not at all complimentary.

Think on.. A Book in itself is not dangerous... It's the people who interpret it wrongly who are dangerous. Muslims have experience of this so you should be able to understand.

Pandora,
Please, tell me what did George Bernard Shaw say about Islam and Muhammad (peace be upon him) the messenger of Islam? I am waiting for your answer ................

George Bernard Shaw, was a satirist and an atheist and some may say a man of dubious morals... Is that what your Prophet Mohammed taught? Follow Islam or have your throat cut...that Islam is intolerant?.. I do not think it was, so I believe Mr Shaw's opinion on any religion is not to be trusted entirely, I don't see the opinion of an atheist on religious matters ever can be.. But it's up to you to decide. You like him maybe for his views on Christianity because it suits your agenda, but you really need to see the bigger picture.

[In Egypt and India] the apparent multiplicity of Gods is bewildering at the first glance; but you presently discover that they are all the same one God in different aspects and functions and even sexes. There is always one uttermost God who defies personification. This makes Hinduism the most tolerant religion in the world, because its one transcendent God includes all possible Gods…Hinduism is so elastic and so subtle that the profoundest Methodist and the crudest idolater are equally at home in it.


Islam is very different, being ferociously intolerant. What I may call Manifold Monotheism becomes in the minds of very simple folk an absurdly polytheistic idolatry, just as European peasants not only worship Saints and the Virgin as Gods, but will fight fanatically for their faith in the ugly little black doll who is the Virgin of their own Church against the black doll of the next village. When the Arabs had run this sort of idolatry to such extremes [that] they did this without black dolls and worshipped any stone that looked funny, Mahomet rose up at the risk of his life and insulted the stones shockingly, declaring that there is only one God, Allah, the glorious, the great… And there was to be no nonsense about toleration. You accepted Allah or you had your throat cut by someone who did accept him, and who went to Paradise for having sent you to Hell. Mahomet was a great Protestant religious force, like George Fox or Wesley….


There is actually a great Hindu sect, the Jains, with Temples of amazing magnificence, which abolish God, not on materialist atheist considerations, but as unspeakable and unknowable, transcending all human comprehension.2
