This is such nonsense I do not even know why I am responding........ But here is a quick analysis..............

Not a single one of the Koranic verses mentioned above says anything about sex or homosexuality. The term houri has been distorted out of all recognition it actually means companion. a knowledgeable and chaste companion. People have distorted the meaning to something like pliant virgints.......... In their own wild translations of the Qur'an have used such terms..........

As for Abu Nuwas he was an Arab poet who has nothing to do with Islam except that he claimed to be a muslim..........like David Duke of the KKK claims to be a christian or Hitler claimed to be a christian or Baruch Goldstein who shot dead over 20 muslims at prayer claimed to be a Jew...........

ALL all the verses of the Koran listed above have been misquoted. That is easy to verify just look up any translation by a muslim........... instead of an Orientalist out to distort the Koran.

Propagandas ridiculous statement I will say nothing. The Prophet's record stands for itselfand instead of giving my own statements I shall give what others have said...........

The Encyclopedia Britannica describes him as "the most successful of all religious personalities of the world."

George Bernard Shaw wrote: “I have always held the religion of Muhammad in high estimation because of its wonderful vitality. It is the only religion which appears to me to possess that assimilating capacity to the changing phase of existence which can make itself appeal to every age.”

"My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world's most influential persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but he was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular level." Michael H. Hart, THE 100: A RANKING OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL PERSONS IN HISTORY, New York: Hart Publishing Company, Inc., 1978, p. 33.

Lastly if you are going to lie about Islam, at least be original......... do not copy from a polemic site...... and then try to pass on the material as your own.............
