    I have come across this allegation in several websites, but they all fail to locate it in any Hadith source. One source indicates that Ali was the cat-guy, not Mohammad. The closest hadiths are referred to in this webpage:

    http://www.muttaqun.com/cats.html

    In typical PC attitude, Wikipedia mentions the same story in this Muezza article, but fails to locate it in the Hadith:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muezza

    Ironically, this Wikipedia page and the Muslim Heritage website refer to each other. Famous charlatan and dhimmi Karen Armstrong also referred to this fable at some point, apparently.

    Quote from: Rashna
    Turkish Nobel Laureate Orhan Pamuk mentions this story in his book "My Name is Red."

    I read that book but I don't remember it, do you? You must have quite the memory.

    I was just about to write the same thing as I must have discovered it at the same time as you.  I think its shocking!

    Every place I have looked quotes this cat story, without a source, even Wiki!  Wiki points the source as another website, when you look at this source it quotes the source as Wiki.  AAArgghh!

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muezza

    I am very disappointed about this, as this was one of the only 2 examples I remembered from childhood as examples of the prophet at his best.  However I was conned.  The other turned out to be a fake too.

    I wonder where this story came from, as it is a hugely popular and recycled myth that now has Wikipedia as its source.  This should not happen, and wiki should have procedures to prevent this from happening, otherwise how many others will continue to be sold this story?

    Wiki is often happily referenced by those at this site, and was very convenient, but this one example proves wiki's lack of reliability.

    You're similar to me, I found it very hard to live the life of a lie and better to face the consequences as a result. 

    I  now look back at that time as the second start of my life, where my life choices were defined by my personality and thoughts, and not those of others. 

    Not only have you explained your set of beliefs, but also that you are an independent person with independent thoughts.  I hope they treat you with more respect as a result, but only time will tell.

    Has your mum mentioned the hitting incident, or been remotely sheepish about it and how are you both treating each other now?  Are you close to your brother, what are his views on religion and this whole issue? 


    Check it out now. 

    It annoyed me so much that I have changed it, with the following :-

    "However this story is a fallacy, as there are no references in the Quran or Hadith to this story. "

    Unfortunately, it is made up, awais, in fact not only is it made up but plagiarized from Bahai sources. We don't know anything about Muhammad's life other than some legitimate age old sources, and only those sources can be legitimate sunnah. I think that the stories in the sunnah unfortunately have little stuff which can set a good precedent to Muslims' living in a modern multicultural, multi faith, gender equal world, and loads which can act as barriers for Muslims to do so. Yet truth is truth, even if truth hurts. We can't obliterate the truth by plagiarizing from 19 th century religious faiths' like the Bahai faith, can we? Ought we?

    What will Muslims be plagiarizing from next? We know Islamic nations were some of the last to ban slavery, now should Muslims be encouraged to plagiarize from Abraham Lincoln's life to prove that Muhammad fought to free all slaves? Wink

    Truths dagger sometimes hurts, hurts real bad Hopefully truth's dagger will cut through the censorship & conspiracy theories permeating through the present Muslim ummah and enable Muslims to look at Muhammad's life & actions as they're stated in the original sunnah-the good, the bad & the ugly and make an honest re evaluation of their beliefs. Hope they won't be Chicken when taking a long hard look at their faiths in the future, nor  Shooter others who either leave the faith or seek to expose its bad bits.

    That's what has happened recently. "Islam" has become more in tune with Salafi ideals than it was in the fairly recent past. Of course this is largely because the Salafis can back their arguments with the relevant texts. Moderates have a lot of difficulty making good, substantiated countering points. They end up having to rely on their humanity rather than being "Islamically correct".

    Exactly

    Any form of "moderate Islam" has no substance and no basis. All "moderates" are either closet apostates or self decievers.

    OK sir, so if I (as an ex-Muslim) am an outsider, doesn't that make you an outsider?

    If you are also an outsider, how can you claim that there is a "moderate" Islam? As you are indeed an outsider.

    Ousted by your own silly reasoning

    Anyway, BerberElla is right, if you were part of a violent religion and you didn't want others to know, you wouldn't proclaim it as a violent religion, and if others couldn't look into the matter, what happens  to the truth? Obviously Muslims will try and tell us that their religion is holy, pure, from the one God, and non-violent. They are Muslims! That's what they believe! Should we accept it as truth because we are outsiders?

    "We should just listen to Muslims and take their words for it because it's their religion".

    You are an awful hypocrite. I don't know why you are so defensive of a crappy system you used to be part of.

    And by the way, it shouldn't take 20 minutes to make a comment that consists of a few lines.

    What is the geneva convention except on outsiders restriction and definition of what consitutes human rights?  isn't it thanks to outsider intervention that slavery is outlawed in all muslim countries, saudi being the last to adhere to it (on the surface), or the fact that muslims countries have had to set age restrictions on marriage?

    You should just say what you want, I don't intend on "reporting" anyone.

    You're right, truth is relative in that way. But if I as an Ex Muslim said that I used to practice Salafism, Sufi inspired orthodoxism, reformism and Godknows what else, and that I found Salafi and other extremist thoughts to be closest to the authentic sources, than I am right, "fuck anyone who says otherwise". That way, it's your word against mine.

    As I told you before, there is a moderate Islam but it's based on nothing,  absolutely nothing. Made up ahadith interspliced with rational attitudes and the goodness that is in us all. That's all I am saying

    And you can be defensive of Muslims all you like, but you seem to take critisicsm of the religion as a personal insult and as something offensive.
