Qur'an 27:1[edit]

Ta, Seen. These are the Signs of the Quran—a book that makes things clear.

Qur'an 27:1 Notes[edit]

The Quran could clarify the very first letters of this chapter. For reasons that Islamic scholars are not sure of to this day, several chapters start with these disconnected letters.

Qur'an 27:2[edit]

Guidance and good news for the believers.

Qur'an 27:2 Notes[edit]

Along with absurdly brutal empty threats, mainly for those who lack the beliefs for the threats to hold any water.

Qur'an 27:3[edit]

Those who observe the prayers, and give charity regularly, and are certain of the Hereafter.

Qur'an 27:3 Notes[edit]

Praying for an invisible being and believing an unproven assertion are not real virtues worthy of sharing a verse with charity.

Qur'an 27:4[edit]

As for those who do not believe in the Hereafter: We made their deeds appear good to them, so they wander aimlessly.

Qur'an 27:4 Notes[edit]

God, being the benevolent provider and maintainer of everything good, knowingly deceives countless humans to set them up for torture far beyond they can even comprehend.

Qur'an 27:5[edit]

It is they who will receive the grievous punishment—and in the Hereafter they will be the greatest losers.

Qur'an 27:5 Notes[edit]

It is God, the sadist who created a grievous punishment in the first place, who undoubtedly deserves this punishment more than any humans ever.

Qur'an 27:6[edit]

You are receiving the Quran from an All-Wise, All-Knowing.

Qur'an 27:6 Notes[edit]

How did this Quran turn out so unwise and ignorant?

Qur'an 27:7[edit]

When Moses said to his family, “I have glimpsed a fire. I will bring you some news from it; or bring you a firebrand, that you may warm yourselves.”

Qur'an 27:7 Notes[edit]

When someone typically tells anybody that a speaking fire brings news, that person is normally untrustworthy for many reasons.

Qur'an 27:8[edit]

Then, when he reached it, he was called: “Blessed is He who is within the fire, and He who is around it, and glorified be God, Lord of the Worlds.

Qur'an 27:8 Notes[edit]

Did the voice calling him originate from a god? What evidence, if any whatsoever, indicate this?

Qur'an 27:9[edit]

O Moses, it is I, God, the Almighty, the Wise.

Qur'an 27:9 Notes[edit]

Moses accepted that with zero skepticism because God hates those who are skeptical of him. He hates skepticism even when he sounds just like a hallucination or a liar.

Qur'an 27:10[edit]

Throw down your staff.” But when he saw it quivering, as though it were a demon, he turned around not looking back. “O Moses, do not fear; the messengers do not fear in My presence.

Qur'an 27:10 Notes[edit]

Says Allah to his messenger as he knowingly scares him.

Qur'an 27:11[edit]

But whoever has done wrong, and then substituted goodness in place of evil. I am Forgiving and Merciful.

Qur'an 27:11 Notes[edit]

But whoever fails to even believe because God seals their hearts gets no forgiveness and mercy for reasons.

Qur'an 27:12[edit]

Put your hand inside your pocket, and it will come out white, without blemish—among nine miracles to Pharaoh and his people, for they are immoral people.”

Qur'an 27:12 Notes[edit]

The entire nation is immoral? The entire population?

Qur'an 27:13[edit]

Yet when Our enlightening signs came to them, they said, “This is obvious witchcraft.”

Qur'an 27:13 Notes[edit]

God made the signs look like witchcraft to these people. He knows precisely what would convince each and every individual there.

Qur'an 27:14[edit]

And they rejected them, although their souls were certain of them, out of wickedness and pride. So see how the outcome was for the mischief-makers.

Qur'an 27:14 Notes[edit]

God refuses to accept that he is a bad communicator and that so many people are simply unconvinced given a laughable proposition revealed like a conman's grift. People could only reject this truth because they are too wicked or prideful. The Quran talks about them realizing how wrong they were when they eventually see this sadistic deity on the "Day of Judgment", which implies that not everyone was "certain" of this truth. The truth would not surprise them on that impossible day if their souls seriously were certain.

Qur'an 27:15[edit]

And We gave David and Solomon knowledge. They said, “Praise God, who has favored us over many of His believing servants.”

Qur'an 27:15 Notes[edit]

Did he give us proper knowledge to clearly verify the historical existence of David as described per this Quran? How about Solomon? Either way, what knowledge can this cosmic ignoramus even give? This book is entirely made up of provable falsehoods, completely unfalsifiable myths and legends, and "knowledge" that humans could independently discover.

Qur'an 27:16[edit]

And Solomon succeeded David. He said, “O people, we were taught the language of birds, and we were given from everything. This is indeed a real blessing.”

Qur'an 27:16 Notes[edit]

Did Solomon effectively demonstrate that so clearly that people can find historical evidence?

Qur'an 27:17[edit]

To the service of Solomon were mobilized his troops of sprites, and men, and birds—all held in strict order.

Qur'an 27:17 Notes[edit]

Just like angels, demons, god, and the afterlife, sprites are mythical entities with zero real evidence pointing to their existence.

Qur'an 27:18[edit]

Until, when they came upon the Valley of Ants, an ant said, “O ants! Go into your nests, lest Solomon and his troops crush you without noticing.”

Qur'an 27:18 Notes[edit]

Ants can apparently say relatively complex things for ant brains. Interesting.

Qur'an 27:19[edit]

He smiled and laughed at her words, and said, “My Lord, direct me to be thankful for the blessings you have bestowed upon me and upon my parents, and to do good works that please You. And admit me, by Your grace, into the company of Your virtuous servants.”

Qur'an 27:19 Notes[edit]

Solomon said that after somehow understanding this communication? He actually perceived it somehow? Was he marching with his head on the dirt to where any of his senses could even detect their existence? God also described the ant as using "words" to communicate and warn other ants. Several Muslims read this verse and find a scientific miracle, clearly indicating that ants can communicate and convey important messages for their survival and prospering.

Qur'an 27:20[edit]

Then he inspected the birds, and said, “Why do I not see the hoopoe? Or is he among the absentees?

Qur'an 27:20 Notes[edit]

Solomon had noticed a single hoopoe missing from his armies. How big or small is this bird army to where Solomon noticed that exactly one bird was absent.

Qur'an 27:21[edit]

I will punish him most severely, or slay him, unless he gives me a valid excuse.”

Qur'an 27:21 Notes[edit]

This guy either does not come close to understanding birds or he understands them way better than any human ever could.

Qur'an 27:22[edit]

But he did not stay for long. He said, “I have learnt something you did not know. I have come to you from Sheba, with reliable information.

Qur'an 27:22 Notes[edit]

A bird would absolutely be reliable at delivering reliable information. Talking birds already have a greater track record of honesty than prophets.

Qur'an 27:23[edit]

I found a woman ruling over them, and she was given of everything, and she has a magnificent throne.

Qur'an 27:23 Notes[edit]

According to Sahih Al-Bukhari 7099, Sheba won't prosper, not while a woman rules over the place.

Qur'an 27:24[edit]

I found her and her people worshiping the sun, instead of God. Satan made their conduct appear good to them, and diverted them from the path, so they are not guided.

Qur'an 27:24 Notes[edit]

Celestial objects like suns are demonstrated to exist. Also, how did the hoopoe know that Satan made it appear good to them. God is the one who makes disbelief look good as he stated many times.

Qur'an 27:25[edit]

If only they would worship God, who brings to light the mysteries of the heavens and the earth, and knows what you conceal and what you reveal.

Qur'an 27:25 Notes[edit]

This same capricious God is a mystery.

Qur'an 27:26[edit]

God—There is no god but He, the Lord of the Sublime Throne.”

Qur'an 27:26 Notes[edit]

God loves inflating his endless ego. He can even do that without existing, which is frankly impressive.

Qur'an 27:27[edit]

He said, “We will see, whether you have spoken the truth, or whether you are a liar.

Qur'an 27:27 Notes[edit]

This story has no truth.

Qur'an 27:28[edit]

Go with this letter of mine, and deliver it to them; then withdraw from them, and see how they respond.”

Qur'an 27:28 Notes[edit]

Does anybody else know about Solomon's army of talking birds?

Qur'an 27:29[edit]

She said, “O Counselors, a gracious letter was delivered to me.

Qur'an 27:29 Notes[edit]

Solomon apparently cares about this nation because its citizens don't worship the same god.

Qur'an 27:30[edit]

It is from Solomon, and it is, ‘In the Name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.

Qur'an 27:30 Notes[edit]

Allah is neither gracious, nor merciful.

Qur'an 27:31[edit]

Do not defy me, and come to me submissively.’”

Qur'an 27:31 Notes[edit]

Of course the prophet of Allah uses his military might to command other nations to submit to this imaginary being.

Qur'an 27:32[edit]

She said, “O counselors, advise me in this matter of mine. I never make a decision unless you are present.”

Qur'an 27:32 Notes[edit]

She had enough sense not to decide everything all by herself as world leaders should.

Qur'an 27:33[edit]

They said, “We are a people of might and great courage, but the decision is yours, so consider what you wish to command.”

Qur'an 27:33 Notes[edit]

They let the woman make a decision and are therefore in the wrong according to the aforementioned Hadith.

Qur'an 27:34[edit]

She said, “When kings enter a city, they devastate it, and subjugate its dignified people. Thus they always do.

Qur'an 27:34 Notes[edit]

All kings do that? Kings do that always?

Qur'an 27:35[edit]

I am sending them a gift, and will see what the envoys bring back.”

Qur'an 27:35 Notes[edit]

This story seems quite sexist as would be usual for this sexist religion.

Qur'an 27:36[edit]

When he came to Solomon, he said, “Are you supplying me with money? What God has given me is better than what He has given you. It is you who delight in your gift.

Qur'an 27:36 Notes[edit]

Solomon could at least try to be diplomatic, but the only thing he cares about is other people following his religion.

Qur'an 27:37[edit]

Go back to them. We will come upon them with troops they cannot resist; and we will expel them from there, disgraced and humiliated.”

Qur'an 27:37 Notes[edit]

"Join this religion or get conquered by us!"

Qur'an 27:38[edit]

He said, “O notables, which one of you will bring me her throne before they come to me in submission?”

Qur'an 27:38 Notes[edit]

As a reminder, he wants the throne simply because this queen chose not to submit Sheba to a god in which they do not even believe. How is that anything other than aggression.

Qur'an 27:39[edit]

An imp of the sprites said, “I will bring it to you before you rise from your seat. I am strong and reliable enough to do it.”

Qur'an 27:39 Notes[edit]

Imps need first to exist to be strong.

Qur'an 27:40[edit]

He who had knowledge from the Book said, “I will bring it to you before your glance returns to you.” And when he saw it settled before him, he said, “This is from the grace of my Lord, to test me, whether I am grateful or ungrateful. He who is grateful, his gratitude is to his own credit; but he who is ungrateful—my Lord is Independent and Generous.”

Qur'an 27:40 Notes[edit]

This story could try to be remotely believable to make up for the utterly awful morals here.

Qur'an 27:41[edit]

He said, “Disguise her throne for her, and we shall see whether she will be guided, or remains one of the misguided.”

Qur'an 27:41 Notes[edit]

Allah decides that for her.

Qur'an 27:42[edit]

When she arrived, it was said, “Is your throne like this?” She said, “As if this is it.” “We were given knowledge before her, and we were submissive.”

Qur'an 27:42 Notes[edit]

This verse is worded confusingly for such a clear book.

Qur'an 27:43[edit]

But she was prevented by what she worshiped besides God; she belonged to a disbelieving people.

Qur'an 27:43 Notes[edit]

Allah was the one who prevented her from believing. People can also belong to a disbelieving people and later convert.

Qur'an 27:44[edit]

It was said to her, “Go inside the palace.” And when she saw it, she thought it was a deep pond, and she bared her legs. He said, “It is a palace paved with glass.” She said, “My Lord, I have done wrong to myself, and I have submitted with Solomon, to God, Lord of the Worlds.”

Qur'an 27:44 Notes[edit]

A simple glass floor was enough to get her to the truth after all?

Qur'an 27:45[edit]

And We sent to Thamood their brother Saleh: “Worship God.” But they became two disputing factions.

Qur'an 27:45 Notes[edit]

Muslims, meanwhile, became two disputing factions with several smaller sects but still worship Allah.

Qur'an 27:46[edit]

He said, “O my people, why are you quick to do evil rather than good? If only you would seek God’s forgiveness, so that you may be shown mercy.”

Qur'an 27:46 Notes[edit]

Could it be that these people, skeptical of an absurd story, don't believe in a god who sees disbelief as remotely evil and limits his forgiveness to those who actually believe in him fully?

Qur'an 27:47[edit]

They said, “We consider you an ill omen, and those with you.” He said, “Your omen is with God. In fact, you are a people being tested.”

Qur'an 27:47 Notes[edit]

What purpose does testing people serve a god who both knows everything but also chooses who lucks out and who doesn't? How would this kind of testing even make a lick of sense whatsoever?

Qur'an 27:48[edit]

In the city was a gang of nine who made mischief in the land and did no good.

Qur'an 27:48 Notes[edit]

Only nine gangsters do wrong things? In this entire city, only nine? Allah is too merciful to punish the whole city for their antics, right?

Qur'an 27:49[edit]

They said, “Swear by God to one another that we will attack him and his family by night, and then tell his guardian, 'We did not witness the murder of his family, and we are being truthful.'“

Qur'an 27:49 Notes[edit]

They are characters in a story in the Quran, so of course they would think that.

Qur'an 27:50[edit]

They planned a plan, and We planned a plan, but they did not notice.

Qur'an 27:50 Notes[edit]

Allah's plan has the entire city destroyed. The entire city, all for a gang of nine whom Allah predestined to plot as they did. They never even did the deed. They merely planned.

Qur'an 27:51[edit]

So note the outcome of their planning; We destroyed them and their people, altogether.

Qur'an 27:51 Notes[edit]

What an amazingly merciful god...

Qur'an 27:52[edit]

Here are their homes, in ruins, on account of their iniquities. Surely in this is a sign for people who know.

Qur'an 27:52 Notes[edit]

Many ruins exist now. Which, if any, stand today as signs of this evil god's wrath? What evidence can anybody see in these signs to indicate that they point to this story having any truth whatsoever?

Qur'an 27:53[edit]

And We saved those who believed and were pious.

Qur'an 27:53 Notes[edit]

The citizens who had absolutely zilch to do with the gang still get destroyed because they didn't believe. What a loving god.

Qur'an 27:54[edit]

And Lot, when he said to his people, “Do you commit lewdness with open eyes?

Qur'an 27:54 Notes[edit]

Are people meant to just close their eyes?

Qur'an 27:55[edit]

Do you lust after men instead of women? You are truly ignorant people.”

Qur'an 27:55 Notes[edit]

This tale only condemns men lusting after other men while lesbians aren't even mentioned here. Nothing in the Quran even mentions women lusting after women.

Qur'an 27:56[edit]

But the only response of his people was to say, “Expel the family of Lot from your town. They are purist people.”

Qur'an 27:56 Notes[edit]

Why did this family even stick around when open homophobes like them are clearly not welcome? Lot is clearly in the minority for openly opposing what most people over there clearly saw as completely okay.

Qur'an 27:57[edit]

So We saved him and his family, except for his wife, whom We destined to be among the laggards.

Qur'an 27:57 Notes[edit]

Allah chose Lot's own wife to suffer for what? Allah clearly states that he was the one who destined her to lag behind.

Qur'an 27:58[edit]

And We rained upon them a rain. Miserable was the rain of those forewarned.

Qur'an 27:58 Notes[edit]

God claims to have warned them. God predestined the warnings to fall on deaf ears but still blames them because they were the ones who had the deaf ears that God forced upon them by this cruel tyrant.

Qur'an 27:59[edit]

Say, “Praise God, and peace be upon His servants whom He has selected. Is God better, or what they associate?”

Qur'an 27:59 Notes[edit]

God, if real as the Quran describes him constantly, deserves no praise whatsoever. He will torment people eternally unless he predestines them to praise him. That alone should be reason why such a horrifying being doesn't deserve actual praise.

Qur'an 27:60[edit]

Or, who created the heavens and the earth, and rains down water from the sky for you? With it We produce gardens full of beauty, whose trees you could not have produced. Is there another god with God? But they are a people who equate.

Qur'an 27:60 Notes[edit]

The Quran repeats these assertions ad nauseam, never addressing the question of how anyone knows that this planet and the rain on it even came from a god, much less this god in particular.

Qur'an 27:61[edit]

Or, who made the earth habitable, and made rivers flow through it, and set mountains on it, and placed a partition between the two seas? Is there another god with God? But most of them do not know.

Qur'an 27:61 Notes[edit]

A truly omniscient master creator of the world would know that most of this earth is inhabitable and that there are not exactly two seas. Even if this earth needed a creator, how does anybody know whether this book accurately describes the creator?

Qur'an 27:62[edit]

Or, who answers the one in need when he prays to Him, and relieves adversity, and makes you successors on earth? Is there another god with God? How hardly you pay attention.

Qur'an 27:62 Notes[edit]

God doesn't answer those in need when they pray to him. They may expect their god to answer and interpret any convenient event in their lives as an answer from this god, though this doesn't, in any meaningful way, mean that Allah actually intervened to respond to them because they prayed.

Qur'an 27:63[edit]

Or, who guides you through the darkness of land and sea, and who sends the winds as heralds of His mercy? Is there another god with God? Most exalted is God, above what they associate.

Qur'an 27:63 Notes[edit]

Why, in that case, do so many people get lost in this darkness and never find their way back?

Qur'an 27:64[edit]

Or, who originates the creation and then repeats it, and who gives you livelihood from the sky and the earth? Is there another god with God? Say, “Produce your evidence, if you are truthful.”

Qur'an 27:64 Notes[edit]

I say, "Produce your evidence, if you are truthful." After all, this book claims that Allah is the one who created everything without actually proving it.

Qur'an 27:65[edit]

Say, “No one in the heavens or on earth knows the future except God; and they do not perceive when they will be resurrected.”

Qur'an 27:65 Notes[edit]

This god barely knows the present or past, so why should anyone expect him to know the future that he allegedly made?

Qur'an 27:66[edit]

In fact, their knowledge of the Hereafter is confused. In fact, they are in doubt about it. In fact, they are blind to it.

Qur'an 27:66 Notes[edit]

In fact, the Quran is so confused that it consistently contradicts itself and has its readers in doubt.

Qur'an 27:67[edit]

Those who disbelieve say, “When we have become dust, and our ancestors, shall we be brought out?

Qur'an 27:67 Notes[edit]

I say again to anybody claiming this with confidence and citing this book, "Produce your evidence, if you are truthful."

Qur'an 27:68[edit]

We were promised that before, we and our ancestors—these are nothing but legends of the ancients.”

Qur'an 27:68 Notes[edit]

To be fair, they were legends of the ancients when Muhammad, the man behind this "revelation", was alive and spreading it while not keeping his story straight.

Qur'an 27:69[edit]

Say, travel through the earth, and observe the fate of the guilty.”

Qur'an 27:69 Notes[edit]

Look at verse 27:64 and actually produce the evidence.

Qur'an 27:70[edit]

But do not grieve over them, and do not be troubled by what they plot.

Qur'an 27:70 Notes[edit]

The people whom God brutally destroyed, never for a good reason, apparently don't deserve grief because they deserve death and infinite torture. This is a merciful god, by the way.

Qur'an 27:71[edit]

And they say, “When is this promise, if you are truthful?”

Qur'an 27:71 Notes[edit]

I can smell the copout from here.

Qur'an 27:72[edit]

Say, “Perhaps some of what you are impatient for has drawn near.”

Qur'an 27:72 Notes[edit]

Perhaps. Over 1400 years passed, but perhaps the Day of Judgment, ridiculous as it is, has actually drawn near.

Qur'an 27:73[edit]

Your Lord is gracious towards humanity, but most of them are not thankful.

Qur'an 27:73 Notes[edit]

Is this lord truly gracious when he explicitly misguides all but a few humans, preventing the majority from even knowing to be thankful and thereby dooming them?

Qur'an 27:74[edit]

And your Lord knows what their hearts conceal, and what they reveal.

Qur'an 27:74 Notes[edit]

However, this Quran misrepresents disbelievers constantly.

Qur'an 27:75[edit]

There is no mystery in the heaven and the earth, but it is in a Clear Book.

Qur'an 27:75 Notes[edit]

There is no clarity in the Quran. Allah supposedly created everything and knows nothing about his own creations.

Qur'an 27:76[edit]

This Quran relates to the Children of Israel most of what they differ about.

Qur'an 27:76 Notes[edit]

This Quran differs with itself too much.

Qur'an 27:77[edit]

And it is guidance and mercy for the believers.

Qur'an 27:77 Notes[edit]

And empty threats, darkness, and laughs for the rest of us.

Qur'an 27:78[edit]

Your Lord will judge between them by His wisdom. He is the Almighty, the All-Knowing.

Qur'an 27:78 Notes[edit]

An "All-Knowing" being wouldn't need wisdom. Wisdom is irrelevant to a being who already has all the answers to all the questions that could ever conceivably be asked at all, as such a being simply needs to state knowledge that supposedly would already exist somewhere within his infinite mind instantly.

Qur'an 27:79[edit]

So rely on God. You are upon the clear truth.

Qur'an 27:79 Notes[edit]

This "revelation" frankly is not clear and not truthful.

Qur'an 27:80[edit]

You cannot make the dead hear, nor can you make the deaf hear the call if they turn their backs and flee.

Qur'an 27:80 Notes[edit]

Neither could Allah or any other nonexistent deities.

Qur'an 27:81[edit]

Nor can you guide the blind out of their straying. You can make no one listen, except those who believe in Our verses; for they are Muslims.

Qur'an 27:81 Notes[edit]

The Quran loves telling Muslims that, unlike those skeptics, it is the Muslims who have the truth and should feel grateful to Allah for simply being so special.

Qur'an 27:82[edit]

And when the Word has fallen on them, We will bring out for them from the earth a creature which will say to them that the people are uncertain of Our revelations.

Qur'an 27:82 Notes[edit]

This book talks about talking beasts as if they are real. We went over this.

Qur'an 27:83[edit]

On the Day when We gather from every community a group of those who rejected Our revelations; and they will be restrained.

Qur'an 27:83 Notes[edit]

Simply because, as this book states, Allah predestined them to reject the revelations and deserve this punishment in a moral system that he created.

Qur'an 27:84[edit]

Until, when they arrive, He will say, “Did you reject My revelations without comprehending them? Or what is it you were doing?”

Qur'an 27:84 Notes[edit]

Often, people reject the message because they understand its flaws.

Qur'an 27:85[edit]

The Word will come down upon them for their wrongdoing, and they will not speak.

Qur'an 27:85 Notes[edit]

Doing exactly what this vicious monster predestined for them is "wrongdoing" because of course it is.

Qur'an 27:86[edit]

Do they not see that We made the night for them to rest therein, and the day for visibility? Surely in that are signs for people who believe.

Qur'an 27:86 Notes[edit]

These signs are only signs for those who "believe" as though analyzing the signs in an unbiased way won't point to an already-accepted conclusion.

Qur'an 27:87[edit]

On the Day when the Trumpet is blown, everyone in the heavens and the earth will be horrified, except whomever God wills; and everyone will come before Him in humility.

Qur'an 27:87 Notes[edit]

Why does Allah will for anyone to be horrified?

Qur'an 27:88[edit]

And you see the mountains, and imagine them fixed, yet they pass, as the passing of the clouds—the making of God, who has perfected everything. He is fully Informed of what you do.

Qur'an 27:88 Notes[edit]

He could just clearly indicate as much in this book instead of having to repeat it over and over. This repetition is there to obfuscate the lack of evidence.

Qur'an 27:89[edit]

Whoever brings a virtue will receive better than it—and they will be safe from the horrors of that Day.

Qur'an 27:89 Notes[edit]

What does this tyrant define as "virtue" anyhow?

Qur'an 27:90[edit]

But whoever brings evil—their faces will be tumbled into the Fire. Will you be rewarded except for what you used to do?

Qur'an 27:90 Notes[edit]

How about this tyrant's definitions of "evil"?

Qur'an 27:91[edit]

“I was commanded to worship the Lord of this town, who has sanctified it, and to Whom everything belongs; and I was commanded to be of those who submit.

Qur'an 27:91 Notes[edit]

He was also commanded to make others submit. Why exactly does God use a prophet?

Qur'an 27:92[edit]

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.”

Qur'an 27:92 Notes[edit]

People of other faiths frequently warn Muslims for exactly the same reasons for Muslims warning them of some equally fictitious afterlife torture.

Qur'an 27:93[edit]

And say, “Praise belongs to God; He will show you His signs, and you will recognize them. Your Lord is not heedless of what you do.”

Qur'an 27:93 Notes[edit]

Signs that point only to Islam's many flaws only.
