(August 14, 2022 at 1:33 pm)Fake Messiah Wrote: So there is this thing that Muhammad left called "Satanic verses". It is part of the Koran that incorporates the worship of the venerated pre-Islamic goddesses, Allat, Manat, Al-Uzza - with the inclusion of his god, Allah.
Muhammad included them because he was growing frustrated and disillusioned with his new found prophethood, as people didn't care for his bullshit. So to entice the Meccans to join Islam he included other popular gods in his religion. And while this tradition is now widely rejected by Muslims, the majority of the tradition is actually recorded in explicit detail in some of Islamic books like the Tafsir and Sira, as well as fragments in the Quran.
And since this is now considered a pure blasphemy in the eyes of Islam, Muslims consider that Muhammad was "tricked" by Satan for acknowledging that Allah had three daughters. In Islamic theology - Allah has no children.
Even today, no Muslim can tangibly explain why Muhammad was tricked by Satan, so they try to ignore it, and they get furious when someone brings it up, like Salman Rushdie did.
What you refer to is called in Arabic قصة الغرانيق:

The English version of the article:

Actually, your whole topic is dismissed because the only believers in this story are Sunni/Shiite Muslims; I dismiss the Hadith and most (if not all) documentations about that period except the Quran.
A real Muslim should ignore the Hadith and Sira because they are full of lies and deceit (like the one in your OP).
