Khandro - //There is this chap called Ali Sina, a former Muslim now living in Canada, who doesn't believe there is much difference between any Muslims of whatever strain. He lists references to Muhammad's actions and offers $50,000 to anyone who can disprove his charge that Muhammad was "a narcissist, a misogynist, a rapist, a pedophile, a lecher, a torturer, a mass murderer, a cult leader, an assassin, a terrorist, a madman and a looter". Nobody has been able to claim it yet.
“With violent conquest and contempt for non-believers central to the tenets of the faith,” Sina argues, “attempts to forge a moderate form of Islam are doomed... The only way to reform Islam is to throw away the Koran; 90 percent of it should be thrown away. You also have to throw away the history of Islam, and you have to completely disregard the Sira – the Arabic term used for the various biographies of Muhammad, from which historical information about his life and the early period of Islam is derived.” - //
Interesting - but only one man's view, no more or less valid than anyone else's.
Offering money to 'prove' something is an attention-seeking fact that has been used since people knew what publicity (and self-aggrandisement) was.
Publisher Al Goldstein used to publicly offer one million dollars to anyone who could provide proof that a genuine 'snuff' movie had been filmed, and his money similarly remained safely in his bank account.
Free speech means anyone can come out with stuff like this - it doesn't mean it has to mean anything very much at all.
