Now the idol worshippers will say: "Had God willed, neither we nor our forefathers would have worshipped other than God nor would we declared unlawful the things which are made lawful by God [The funny thing is, by saying so, they admit that they are wrong and then they blame God for it!]" People before them had rejected the truth by recourse to such absurd excuses until they tasted the Lord's punishment. Say: "Do you have any proof to support your theory? The fact of the matter is, you are following nothing but a bunch of false assumptions that you have fabricated."
