Win 1 of 2 Copies of 'God's Scripture: A Faithful Comparison-What Jews, Christians, and Muslims Must Know'

Born in Tehran and raised to be a fanatical supporter of Islam, author Nader Pourhassan says: "I will send $1,000 to whoever proves me wrong by bringing one verse from the Koran to disprove any of the following statements". Please see http://solvingreligion.com/ to learn more on this.

Author, Nader Pourhassan, Ph.D. was born and raised in Tehran, Iran, as a Shiite Muslim. He was raised to be a fanatical supporter of Islam. He moved to the United States when he was fourteen years old and eventually married an American Christian Woman. Their struggle to find common ground prompted him to read the Koran for the first time. There he learned that most of the rules that he had been taught from childhood had nothing at all to do with the Koran, the prophet Mohammed, or God.

Dr. Pourhassan has spent the last twenty years researching the Koran and the Bible in depth. His latest book, God's Scripture: A Faithful Comparison-What Jews, Christians, and Muslims Must Know, is the result of his studies and his desire to discover the truth about Islam as it is taught in the Koran, instead of the version of Islam taught by Muslim clerics -the version that has shaped the Muslim world today.

Pourhassan says:

In Muslim countries manmade laws are designed to secure men's complete control over women.

This partial ban of Burka in France (which is mainly designed to show the face in special places; i.e. courts, schools, hospitals and during university exams, purchases of cigarette, etc) is a great law, because it will now question the root of this law, and hopefully liberate women. I know people in Iran who have been beat up and jailed for not having their head covering on perfectly.

The Bible speaks about clothing several times. In specific in the book of Leviticus 18:4 to 18, in stretch of 15 verses it talks about "only covering the nakedness", 23 times. Never anything more than that was commanded. Similarly in the Koran, the same thing is talked about, "covering of the private parts only", (Koran 23:5, 24:31, 33:36, and 70:30). This is the extent of clothing recommended in the Koran and the Bible. Now for the barbaric eras of 1400 years ago and only for that times, the Koran specifically says that women who are scared to be harmed by bad men should also cover more so they won't be harmed. This is to protect women and does not say: cover yourselves with Burka, or have excessive covering. This verse is in the Koran 33:59.

The only other verse that talks about clothing in the Koran is: 24:32, and this verse only says that the private part should be covered and more over women should also cover their bosoms.

So as you can see nothing about head covering or Burka is in the Koran.
