About those who Easily Dare to Insult God and the Quran with their Blasphemies

Firstly: about such insults and blasphemies:
1- Many anonymous people typically send hate mail to us and write negative comments within our YouTube channel; they verbally abuse our person and insult our late parents with the worst words (in Arabic); for more about those who insult and verbally abuse our person (and our late parents) with their hate mail and bad comments, we urge readers to watch our subtitled-into-English Episode No. 301 of our show (Quranic Moments): (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKoR2AAJ584). We feel surprised by such phenomenon because of the following points.
1/1: We never impose ourselves or our views on anyone; those who verbally abuse us send regular hate mail messages to our email address (apart from bad, insulting comments under our YouTube videos) and they take time and effort to do so.
1/2: There are no personal relation between our person and those anonymous people who use pen-names; there is no personal enmity between them and our person at all.
1/3: Those anonymous people hate our person because they hate the Quranic Truth; they hate the religion of Quranism; they are adversaries and foes because of religious disputes over which is the True Religion of God: "Here are two adversaries feuding regarding their Lord..." (22:19). We, our person and our fellow Quranists, believe in the Lord God Who has no other deities alongside with Him and in One Discourse; i.e., the Quran, and reject other discourses (hadiths, fiqh, tales, etc.). We believe in one testimony of Islam/submission to God: There is no God but Allah. We believe in pilgrimage to one place on earth: the Kaaba in Mecca. We believe in God as the Only Controller and Owner of the Last Day and we sincerely devote our religion and acts of worship exclusively to Him; we disbelieve in anything that contradicts the Quranic Truth and this monotheism we have expressed here. Our foes and enemies who hate Quranism believe in a false lord/god fashioned, within their imagination within the Sunnite Wahabi religion, and also in several gods/deities in a large pantheon who are assumed to control the universe of the physical and the metaphysical realms and the Last Day; such lesser godheads are placed by them above God the Creator; such imaginary gods/lords are given names such as Muhammad, Ali, Hussein, Hassan, Fatima, Zeinab, etc. within the Shiite religion and Muhammad, Abou Bakr, Omar, Othman, Ali, Al-Bokhary, etc. within the Sunnite religion. Both groups of deities are included along with thousands of entombed saints/gods worshipped within the Sufi religion. The three groups deify and sanctify tens of books and thousands of mausoleums and mortals. Because of their adhering to such polytheism and myths, they reject, discard, and disbelieve in the Quran as the Only Discourse in Islam, as it is not enough for them, and they assume that Allah is not enough as God for them as they take other gods/deities besides Him.
1/4: As a Quranist thinker, we disbelieve in all Sunnite, Sufi, and Shiite mythologies; the three groups of the Muhammadans (i.e., Sunnites, Sufis, and Shiites) disbelieve in Quranism. The Quranists, including our person, preach and warn only using the Quran and assert the following to their foes and haters: "And say to those who do not believe, "Act according to your ability; and so will we." "And wait; we too are waiting."" (11:121-122). We respect the absolute religious freedom of all human beings; we wait for God's Judgment on the Last Day as He will settle our religious differences and disputes; we never impose ourselves within their websites; yet, the Muhammadans insist on writings coarse language of verbal abuse under our videos on YouTube and send us hate mail almost on a daily basis.
1/5: Quranists and their foes will stand before the Lord God on the Last Day; readers can guess who among them are the monotheists who will deserve entering into Paradise and who are the polytheists/disbelievers who will deserve entering into Hell: "Here are two adversaries feuding regarding their Lord. As for those who disbelieve, garments of fire will be tailored for them, and scalding water will be poured over their heads. Melting their insides and their skins. And they will have maces of iron. Whenever they try to escape the gloom, they will be driven back to it: "Taste the torment of burning." But God will admit those who believe and do good deeds into Gardens beneath which rivers flow. They will be decorated therein with bracelets of gold and pearls, and their garments therein will be of silk. They were guided to purity of speech. They were guided to the path of the Most Praised." (22:19-24).
2- Within emails with the subject (secularism is the solution), some hate mails we receive contain verbal abuse, blasphemies, and insults against God and His Word, and also some against our person. We readily delete such hate mail and block their senders; yet, they never stop sending more hate mail using the same email address or other addresses while copying and pasting the same words shamelessly! We feel much surprised by such boldness and haughtiness of those who easily dare to insult God and the Quran with their blasphemies. Such people are sick and the symptoms of their sickness are as follows.
2/1: Cowardice: those haters of the Quran and Quranism never dare to criticize or insult tyrannical rulers and dominant clergymen; they also use aliases and pen-names which are not, of course, their real names.
2/2: Ignorance: had such secular haters of the Quran and Quranism a minimum level of awareness, they would have realized that we call for the Only True Islam which is compatible with secularism (we call it a theistic secularism/laïcité) as Islam (i.e., Qurnaism) has no room for clergymen and asserts absolute religious freedom for all (dis)believers on planet Earth in all eras: "...Whoever wills - let him believe. And whoever wills - let him disbelieve..." (18:29). Hence, within our website, impecuniousness, and modest means, we face and refute clergymen of the Muhammadans and religious and political tyranny in the Arab world which imposes the death penalty or imprisonment on those who reject faith and which applies the horrid practice of compulsion in religion. It is silly that secular/atheist haters of the Quran quote hadiths within their hate mail addressed to us to 'prove' that Islam is wrong; they do not know that Quranist reject and disbelieve in all Sunnite, Shiite, and Sufi hadiths.
2/3: It is a sad, regrettable fact that thousands of anonymous ignoramuses issue fatwas (i.e., religious edicts) and propagate erroneous religious views within cyberspace; they talk about religion as if they talk about football or sports, sex, arts, and politics. Each of such ignoramuses are imitating Al-Shaarawy; the late Wahabi Egyptian sheikh/agent of Saudi Arabia (who died in the late 1990s in Cairo, Egypt) who was an idol worshiped by many Egyptians and Arabs because of his TV show that spread Sunnite Wahabi polytheism. Such degeneration, ignorance, and backwardness are not confined to male and female Muhammadans; they include Christians and secular, atheist persons in Egypt and in the Arab world as well. Our words here are not about the respectable theistic secularism in which we believe and for which we call, which respectsabsolute religious freedom and human rights (e.g., the secularism of our friend the assassinated Egyptian thinker Dr. Farag Fouda). We mean to undermine and criticize the atheist secularism whose adherents express themselves with coarse language and verbal abuse to insult God and the Quran.
3- Here is the worst thing: some ignoramuses assume wrongly that they are Quranists; they deny the five daily prayers and some of them deny all acts of worship! They are bent to tarnish the reputation and image of Quranists of our website. Some of them assume themselves to be erudite scholars since they learned many facts within our archive and they deny hadiths (embraced and cherished by Azharite clergymen who are the worst type of ignoramuses in their turn) and give themselves the right to misunderstand and misinterpret the Quran as per their whims and desires to 'prove' and accommodate their faulty notions and to ascribe them to Islam by force. Some of such ignoramuses insist on imposing their wrong views, that contradict the Quran, on our website within their articles; we had to delete their accounts because they repeatedly and adamantly refused to listen to our advice and to follow the objective, Quranist methodology of pondering on the Quranic verses (see our book in English "How to Understand the Holy Quran" on this link: http://www.ahl-alquran.com/arabic/book_main.php?main_id=121 ).
Secondly: the Quranist vision about those who easily dare to insult God and the Quran with their blasphemies:
Those who easily dare to insult God and His Word, the Quran, with their blasphemies, even jokingly, do not know that God has promised them a painful torment in Hell if they die without sincere repentance deemed acceptable to God. We provide examples in the points below.
1- God refutes the stance of the disbeliever who doubted the Last Day and assumed to have money and progeny in the Hereafter if it will exist; Hell has been promised to him for his disbelief: "Have you seen him who denied Our Verses, and said, "I will be given wealth and children"? Did he look into the future, or did he receive a promise from the Dominant Lord? No indeed! We will write what he says, and will keep extending the torment for him. Then We will inherit from him what he speaks of, and he will come to Us alone." (19:77-80).
2- Another disbeliever rejected the Last Day and assumed that his lush garden will last forever and he doubted the Last Day and assumed to be rewarded in Paradise if it will exist; the Lord God destroyed his garden to punish him: "And he entered his garden, wronging himself. He said, "I do not think this will ever perish." "And I do not think the Hour is coming. And even if I am returned to my Lord, I will find something better than this in return." " (18:35-36); "And ruin closed in on his crops, and so he began wringing his hands over what he had invested in it, as it lays fallen upon its trellises. And he was saying, "I wish I never associated anyone with my Lord." He had no faction to help him besides God, and he was helpless." (18:42-43).
3- Another disbeliever insulted the Quran by describing it as magic (i.e., sorcery or witchcraft) and God has promised him Saqar (i.e., one of the names of the Hell-fire torment): "And said, "This is nothing but magic from the past. This is nothing but the word of a mortal." I will burn him in Saqar. But what will explain to you what Saqar is? It neither leaves, nor spares." (74:24-28).
4- Some Arabian Jews during Muhammad's time insulted the Lord God and God refutes them here while cursing them: "The Jews say, "God's hand is tied." It is their hands that are tied, and they are cursed for what they say..." (5:64).
5- Some Arabian polytheists during Muhammad's time urged the early believers to recant and to reject the Quran so that they would return to the pagan religion and they promised the early believers to carry their sins on the Last Day; God refutes this falsehood uttered by them and He will judge them for it on the Last Day: "Those who disbelieve say to those who believe, "Follow our way, and we will carry your sins." In no way can they carry any of their sins. They are liars. They will carry their own loads, and other loads with their own. And they will be questioned on the Day of Resurrection concerning what they used to fabricate." (29:12-13).
6- Some of the hypocrites of Arabia among Muhammad's companions/contemporaries uttered words of blasphemy and disbelief and God has promised them Hell-torment in the Hereafter and another torment before it in this world if they die without repentance: "They swear by God that they said nothing; but they did utter the word of blasphemy, and they renounced faith after their submission. And they plotted what they could not attain. They were resentful only because God and His Messenger have enriched them out of His grace. If they repent, it would be best for them; but if they turn away, God will afflict them with a painful torment - in this life and in the Hereafter - and they will have on earth no protector and no supporter." (9:74).
7- Some of the hypocrites ridiculed the Quran by saying jestingly that they fear that the Quranic Revelation might exposes what is concealed in their hearts/minds; God has described them as disbelievers and promised them Hell if they die without repentance: "The hypocrites worry lest a chapter may be revealed about them, informing them of what is in their hearts. Say, "Go on mocking; God will bring out what you fear." If you ask them, they will say, "We were just joking and playing." Say, "Were you making jokes about God, His Verses, and His Messenger?" Do not apologize. You have disbelieved after your belief. If We pardon some of you, We will torment others, because they are sinners." (9:64-66).
8- Some of the hypocrites in Yathreb ridiculed the impecunious believers who donated very little for the military self-defense endeavors; God has promised them Hell even if Muhammad implored God to pardon them: "Those who criticize the believers who give charity voluntarily, and ridicule those who find nothing to give except their own efforts - God ridicules them. They will have a painful torment. Whether you ask forgiveness for them, or do not ask forgiveness for them - even if you ask forgiveness for them seventy times, God will not forgive them. That is because they disbelieved in God and His Messenger. God does not guide the sinful people." (9:79-80).
Thirdly: those who dare to insult God and the Quran with their blasphemies will never escape from God in this world and in the Hereafter:
1- Those sinners and disbelievers cannot criticize/insult those who in power and authority, as they are cowards who fear being punished by the powerful and mighty mortals; yet, they readily and easily insult God and twist the meanings Quranic Verses to serve their purposes.
2- Those who dare to insult God and the Quran with their blasphemies will never escape from God Who will punish them in this temporary world first, and they will never escape death, Resurrection, Judgment, and Hell.
3- They will never evade the Hell-torment for eternity and they will be forced to experience it nonstop: "Beyond him lies Hell, and he will be given to drink putrid water. He will guzzle it, but he will not swallow it. Death will come at him from every direction, but he will not die. And beyond this is relentless torment." (14:16-17); "...Like one abiding in the Fire forever, and are given to drink boiling water, that cuts up their bowels?" (47:15); "...As for those who disbelieve, garments of fire will be tailored for them, and scalding water will be poured over their heads. Melting their insides and their skins. And they will have maces of iron. Whenever they try to escape the gloom, they will be driven back to it: "Taste the torment of burning."" (22:19-22); "Those who reject Our revelations-We will scorch them in a Fire. Every time their skins are cooked, We will replace them with other skins, so they will experience the torment..." (4:56).
4- They will never evade the food of Hell, which is the fruits of the Tree of Bitterness: "It is a tree that grows from the bottom of Hell. Its fruits are like the devils' heads. They will eat from it, and fill their bellies with it. Then, on top of it, they will have a brew of boiling liquid." (37:64-67); "The Tree of Bitterness. The food of the sinner. Like molten lead; boiling inside their bellies. Like the boiling of seething water." (44:43-46).
5- Hell-torment will never be lessened and it will never end; no one of the Hell-dwellers will ever get out of it; they will never live or die: "As for those who disbelieve, for them is the Fire of Hell, wherein they will never be finished off and die, nor will its torment be lightened for them. Thus We will repay every disbeliever. And they will scream therein, "Our Lord, let us out, and we will act righteously, differently from the way we used to act." Did We not give you a life long enough, in which anyone who wanted to understand would have understood? And the warner did come to you. So taste. The unjust ones will have no helper." (35:36-37).
Lastly:
1- We pardon those who send to our person comments and email messages that insults the Quran and God and those ignoramuses who write articles that misuse and blaspheme against the Quranic verses on purpose to pretend that the Quran might 'approve' of their erroneous views. We always think of their fate in Hell if they die without sincere repentance.
2- God commands us to forgive and pardon those sinners as all of us should wait for God's Judgment on the Last Day: "We did not create the heavens and the earth, and what lies between them, except with truth. The Hour is coming, so forgive with gracious forgiveness." (15:85); "As for his statement: "My Lord, these are a people who do not believe." Pardon them, and say, "Peace." They will come to know." (43:88-89); "Tell those who believe to forgive those who do not hope for the Days of God. He will fully recompense people for whatever they have earned. Whoever does a good deed, it is for his soul; and whoever commits evil, it is against it; then to your Lord you will be returned." (45:14-15).
3- As always, the Almighty Dominant Lord God says nothing but the Absolute Truth.
