Muhammad’s Critics: A Transvestite and A Man Called ‘Esther’
How can a transvestite and a man who seems to yearn to be a woman mock Prophet Muhammad? Aishah, the Prophet’s young, beloved wife, says this about her and her husband, Prophet Muhammad, peace be on him, “I was with him fee (under) mirt-in wa`hid (one mirt)” (collected by scholar Ahmad Ibn `Hanbal). In this narration, Aishah describes how the Prophet Muhammad, peace be on him, was with her, together, under the same mirt.
But evangelicals literally go crazy about this incident, lying in such a shameful way to defy logic. ‘Normal men’ go under the mirts of their wives. Muhammad was, indeed, a normal man. Prophet Muhammad was visited by his Companions numerous times while he was under his wife’s mirt, that being, thaub, shi`ar, firash, li`haf, and so forth. These terms describe the same thing and were used in various narrations related to the narration mentioned above collected by scholar Ahmad Ibn `Hanbal. None of his visitors thought there was anything strange or wrong. None of them said, “Was the Prophet wearing a woman’s dress?”
Hypocrites Had More Honor
Arab hypocrites, Arab pagans, Jews, Christians, i.e., the most vocal and firm enemies of the Prophet of Islam during his lifetime, never reported the Prophet Muhammad wearing women’s clothing. The incident reported above from Aishah was never a secret. This story is widely found in various narrations reported in books of hadeeth, with hadith being in reference to Prophet Muhammad’s statements and actions.
Yet, evangelical transvestites and men who go by women’s names, such as ‘Esther’, mock Muhammad and claim that he was wearing Aishah’s ‘clothes.’ How can such ‘men’ understand the behavior of ‘normal men’ with their ‘wives’? Aishah refuted these evil ones, centuries before they were born. She narrated this story at various times using variations of the word, ‘mirt.’ By Allah’s help, I refuted these sick people duly, abundantly, and effectively in my book, Did Jesus and Muhammad Practice Cross-Dressing.
The Lying Spirit of I Kings 22
That they lie and deceive is understandable in light of what their ‘holy’ book teaches them, “I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left. And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said, I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.” (I Kings 22)
I Kings 22 is a story of lies and intentional deceit sanctioned by the god of the Old Testament. Allah, the Creator of everything, is free from this terrible slander. So, it is natural for those who read such false stories and profess to believe in them, to be lying devils in the mouth of Muhammad and his wife Aishah.
Shamoun: The Tale of a Man Called ‘Esther’
I thought that David Wood was better, as a figure of speech, than Sam Shamoun. Can it be that Shamoun is actually better than David Wood? It is hard to believe or imagine that there are people more evil and wicked than Shamoun in our time.
A confirmed liar; a deceiver who invents concepts and sticks them on to Islam, Shamoun corrupts and deviates Islamic texts on a massive scale to suit his heartfelt rage against Islam. He thinks that Christianity cannot win on its merits against Islam, without lying and deceiving on its behalf.
However, Shamoun, Esther, has not –yet- have his-self videotaped while wearing a woman’s clothes, not even Esther’s clothes. Yet, what the future may bring is only known to Allah, the Creator of all things.
Shamoun is a perfect example of what can go wrong with modern day evangelists. His own mentor, Jochin Katz, admits that he tried to have Shamoun tone down his abusive manners with Muslims and also with Christians.
This ‘man’ uses the most-foul words and terms against Allah, the Quran, Islam, and Muhammad. He has no honor within himself or in the way he shows his enmity to Islam. I refuted various lies started by Shamoun, especially his hilarious assertion that Prophet Muhammad was a cross-dresser.
David Wood vs. the Old Testament
David Wood is a professional debater. He travels around the United States debating Muslims, and when there are no debates, he still attacks Islam. He has less ‘knowledge’ about Islam than Shamoun, even though it is a travesty to mention ‘Shamoun’ with the word ‘knowledge’ in the same sentence.
When challenged about some parts in the Old Testament, Wood’s answer was that he is not as familiar with the Old Testament as he is with the New Testament! Wood is a born-again Christian. Born-again Christians ‘speak with tongues,’ even though one cannot imagine how else they can speak! They speak loudly, especially while professing the Bible as the, ‘Word of God.’
The, Word of God, is comprised of the Old Testament and the New Testament, according to Christians that is. However, David Wood is not that familiar with part one of his own, ‘Word of God’: The Old Testament.
Wood’s ‘knowledge’ about Islam is more non-existing and far less exciting than his knowledge about the Old Testament. Yet, David Wood frequently debates ‘Muslims’ on ‘Islam.’ He does not speak a good sentence of Arabi in which all traditional Islamic literature is written. But he gives a definite meaning for Arabi words, terms, sentences, and types of garments Arabs use.
David Wood vs. the Ka’bah
David Wood has his own unique, invented themes about Islam. For instance, he claims that Muslims worship the Ka’bah. Muslim children, let alone adults, know that the Ka’bah is merely the direction of prayer for Muslims, the qiblah. It was called as such in the Quran itself, {Surely, We shall turn you to a Qiblah (prayer direction) that shall please you, so turn your face in the direction of Al-Masjid Al-Harâm (the Ka’bah at Makkah)} (2:144).
When Wood was challenged to bring a single evidence to support his claim, such as a prayer within which Muslims worship or praise the Ka’bah, or a supplication directed to and at the Ka’bah itself, like Christians worship images and icons, he gave no answer. He does not have an answer. He will never have an answer, because it does not exist. He lies and he knows that he lies.
David Wood’s contention is that because Muslims pray towards the Ka’bah and circle the Ka’bah, they worship the building itself. This shameless liar claims what no Muslim ever contemplated, that is, making the Ka’bah itself the object of worship when in fact it is only the direction of prayer to Allah, Alone, without partners.
David Wood: The Un-Pretty Evangelist in His Wife’s Night Gown
Alert: David Wood’s video has been removed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uV495Pxqpn4
David Wood looks natural and comfortable in his wife’s gown while wearing her necklace. The tattoos are awful, though. Still, and even though Wood would make a notably ugly woman who would be as tall as a giraffe, a sex-change operation may be in order for him! [Examine the picture: Wood seems to be a half way there already.]
In this video, Wood slanders Islam’s Prophet by claiming that he used to wear his wife’s dress. He repeats this narration from Bukhari: The Prophet [Muhammad] said, “Do not hurt me regarding Aishah, as the Divine Inspirations do not come to me while I am fee the thaub of any woman, except that of Aishah” (Bukhari). Wood, who does not know Arabi, then claims that, ‘thaub,’ means, a woman’s dress, while, ‘fee’, means, to wear.
Thaubs are sold all over the world today. Millions of men, women and children cover with thaubs every night. Thaub, in the context of covering, is a garment (a sheet); it is not a woman’s dress; it is not a man’s dress; it is not a dress; it is a garment (a sheet).
To accurately describe a specific use for thaub, one must first understand which meaning is derived and desired within the context of the sentence wherein is mentioned the term, thaub. For instance, using both the word thaub and a synonym of it that only means, blanket, one would be identifying the type of garment under discussion: a cover.
How Wood Fell into Shamoun’s Trap
It seems that David Wood, a professional liar who thinks he is an intellectual because he has post graduate degrees, was deceived by yet a bigger professional liar, his fellow evangelist, Shamoun. Shamoun lacks honor as much as he lacks knowledge and sound intellect. Here is the proof that these two have no shame.
While only repeating Bukhari’s narration where they corrupt the word thaub to mean a woman’s dress in order for them to support their claim that the Prophet was wearing it, they completely ignored another narration in the same resource book, Bukhari, for the very same story. In this latter narration, the Prophet Muhammad says, “By Allah, the Divine Inspirations do not come to me while I am fee the li`haf of any woman (meaning of his wives) … except that of hers (Aishah).” Here, thaub, is described as, li`haf, a word that is still used throughout the Arab world and it exclusively means, blanket. Prophet Muhammad was with Aishah, his wife, fee, under, her li’haf, bedcovering. They merely used variations of the Arabi word for bedcovering (blanket). It is the very same hadeeth, the very same incident.
A Journey into the Mind of an Evangelist
Shamoun got stuck on the term, thaub, which means, garment (a sheet), claiming that it [only] means a woman’s dress, then got stuck on the word, fee, which means, under, claiming that it [only] means, wearing. Next, he added dress to wearing, and the result was: Muhammad was wearing a woman’s dress.
Shamoun then found another word, labisan, a variation of the term, lubs, in a hadeeth collected by scholar Muslim wherein it means: to wrap oneself, to cover with, to sit on. Claiming that it [only] means, to wear, Shamoun then concluded that it means that Muhammad was wearing Aishah’s dress because Muslim’s narration stated that he was labisun the mirt of Aishah, which Shamoun claims [only] means a woman’s dress.
Even when told about a woven floor mat that, in one of his hadeeth narrations, scholar Bukhari reported was lubisa, another variation of the word lubs, with the implication that if labisun only means to wear, then Arabs also used to wear woven floor mats instead of sitting on them, Shamoun persisted and insisted.
As stated, Shamoun, got stuck on the word fee claiming that it means, to wear, with the implication of the narration they used being that the Prophet Muhammad was with Aishah in her dress, both of them, wearing it at the same time. Shamoun then astoundingly admitted to lying, by saying, “The difference in the wording can be taken as support for our interpretation” (Jalal Abualrub, Did Jesus and Muhammad Practice Cross-Dressing, page 128).
Instead of Defaming Muhammad: Evangelists Defame Themselves
David Wood wanted to defame Muhammad who, being a normal man, used to join his wife under the same bedcovering (mirt; li`haf; firash; thaub; Shi`ar). Indeed, the stories they used reported the same incident but used variations of the Arabi word for ‘bedcovering (blanket).’ Instead, Wood exposed his own transvestite tendencies by wearing woman’s clothing. He does not even look pretty in them.
David Wood wanted to dishonor the Prophet Muhammad by his lowly demeanor, but ended up dishonoring himself by falling under the curse of the Old Testament against those who wear women’s clothes: “A woman must not wear men’s clothing, nor a man wear women’s clothing, for the Lord your God detests anyone who does this” (Deuteronomy 22:5).
Since David Wood seems to contend that, fee, means, to wear, he has to complete his transvestite act. If, fee, means, to wear, David Wood will have to wear his wife’s dress while she is still in it, both of them, at the same time. This is because in various narrations for the same hadeeth statement mentioned above, Aishah said that she and her husband were fee one mirt.
Remember: These evangelist geniuses claim that, fee, means, to wear, while, mirt, means, a woman’s dress. So, when Aishah said that she and her husband, the Prophet Muhammad, were in one mirt, she must have been wearing her mirt along with her husband the Prophet, in the same mirt at the same time! We demand for Wood to reenact the incident. Even though we doubt Wood’s wife has dresses that can fit an elephant, Wood must wear his wife’s thaub, while she is still in it: Transvestite husband and his female wife, both, wearing her gown at the same time!
I ignored David Wood since the only debate I had with him years ago. I never thought he would sink this low. Sam Shamoun, the little lying devil, deceived Wood into wearing a woman’s dress just to satisfy his extreme hatred for Islam, which he satisfies through vicious lies and fabrications he invents against Islam and its Prophet. Hatred of Muhammad made Wood earn dishonor and disrespect. He did it to himself.
