Here are some of the interesting things Islam and Sharia Law says about deception/scheming. Many people might not be aware of these.
Sura 3:54
The Iraqi Information minister quoted Sura 3:54, saying that "Allah was the best of deceivers". What actually is this word?
Sura 3:54 says that Allah "makara." The Arabic word makara means to deceive, scheme, or plan. The Arabic Bible in Genesis 3:1 uses the same word for Satan. However, the Vand Dyck and Jerusalem Bibles use the root word hayala.
This word "schemer" (maakir) is a very strong word which Wehr and Abdel-Nour define as "sly, cunning, wily". The Arabic-Arabic unjid defines it with "khuda`a" which means exactly the same thing (by Bill Campbell in his book The Qur'an and the Bible in the Light of History and Science p.217-218).
The phrase of Allah "being the best deceiver". "kheir ol makarein" is also used of Allah in Suras 8:30; 10:22.
Allah is the most deceitful in Sura 3:54 and in Sura 30:8
In sura 10:21 Allah is referred to be the fastest in planning/scheming/deceit.
Another reference to the deceit of Allah: 7:99
and (they) Deceived and Allah Deceived and Allah is the deceivest of deceivers (Sura 3:54)
Nearly the same in verses 3,54; 8,30; 27,50; 13,42; 10,21; (14,46); (43,79); 86,15f.; 7,100

You know they coined this term for you only.
LITTLE KNOWLEDGE IS DANGEROUS.
Subhashchanda bose said "GIVE ME BLOOD AND I'LL GIVE YOU FREEDOM", and if I narrate Subhas chanda said "GIVE ME BLOOD" and eat up the other line, that will make Subhash chandra a vampire.
Go again and read the context in which it is written, it says Allah deceives those, who try to deceive him and no doubt he is Lord and he is best in doing any thing, so if he deceives you, you are nowhere before him.
Keep reading, one day you'll surely be enlightened.!!

No it doesn't make him a vampire, you are seeing ghosts, it could mean many things, for example he could be a hemophiliac and needs a blood transfusion.

If one keeps reading the Quran, one will become a narrow minded, aggressive fundamentalist

INTRODUCTION
Mankind is at the threshold of the 21st century in terms of the common era. This age is rightly called the information age with computers, electronic mail and business and commerce and the Internet with WEB pages. To many thinkers religion is alien to science. Science simply means a specialized branch of knowledge. In Arabic it is called \'Ilm. A scientist in Arabic is called an \'Alim. The west is wrong in separating Science from Religion. The great universal Muslim scientists about thousand years ago were at the forefront of knowledge particularly in the sciences and technology without ever giving up their religion. In fact Islam in general and the Qur\'an in particular inspired the Muslim scientists to seek and advance knowledge. Hence they achieved all these without any conflict with religion. Today many western educated Muslims follow the western path of separation of religion from science. On the other hand those Muslims trained in Islamic theology have refrained from modern sciences.
By moving away from the reading and in depth study of the Qur\'an Muslims have lost the golden opportunity of many a scientific discovery and advancement of knowledge. By moving away from their Scriptures the Western people made many scientific discoveries and inventions. This is because of the suppression and obscurantism practiced by the Church against the scientists and intellectuals in the past. Even the scriptures themselves were a hurdle to the cause of seeking the truth through observation and experimentation as lucidly pointed by Dr. Maurice Bucaille in his most popular book \" The Bible, Qur\'an and Science.\"
Science is not a divine revelation but it provides a means for the welfare of man and to better understanding the creation of Allah(SWT), the natural phenomena and their purpose. In simplest terms science means knowledge and Islam exhorts its followers to relentlessly pursue knowledge. The Noble Qur\'an, Allah (SWT) ordained His servants to pray to Him thus:
\" O Lord! Increase me in knowledge.\" (20: 114)
It is reported that the Messenger of Allah (SWT) peace be upon him to have once said,\" Learning comprises treasure houses whose keys are queries.\" Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) encouraged the spirit of investigation and analysis of facts. One of the most inspiring Ayath (verses) in the Qur\'an

Are you sure the Internet wasn't invented by Muhammad ? I actually went and read some of the pap, it's a copy and paste job with some ridiculous claims thrown in e.g., This is the prediction of GUT in the Koran:
As mentioned earlier, the Qur'an does not specifically mentions that protons or bound neutrons decay. However one has to infer it from the following ayath, which were presented elsewhere by the author (8).
"For everything there is a time prescribed."
Qur'an, Surah 13:38
According to this ayah, there is a time limit for everything.
Nothing can last forever.
"Everything (that exists) will perish, save His countenance."
Qur'an, Surah 28:88
This is the most remarkable ayah, which clearly says that everything (that exists) will perish, except His countenance. This prediction is applicable to both animate and inanimate objects. From this ayath one can infer that protons and bound neutrons will decay.
Allah has set a measure for all things. Surah 65:3
This ayath says that there are limits for all things, including spatial dimensions and time. It stimulates our thinking to revise our concepts of Infinity and eternity
With regard to human beings the Qur'an says:
He it is Who has created you from clay, and has decreed a term for you. A term is fixed with Him. Yet still you doubt! Surah 6: 2
There will be for you on earth a habitation and a provision for a while (time). Surah 7: 24
He keeps that (soul) for which He has ordained death and dismisses the rest till an appointed term. Lo! Herein verily are portents for people who take thought. Surah 39: 42
There are several ayath in the Qur'an which set term on nations:
And every nation hath its term, and when its term comes, they cannot put it off an hour nor yet advance it. Surahs 7: 34, 10: 49, 40: 5, 23: 43 168
The following ayah is difficult to interpret!
For every message (announcement) there is a limit of time and you will come to know it. Surah 6: 67
You've got to be joking, I can just see the scientists all over the world dropping all their work and rushing off to read the Koran for it's scientific knowledge - LOL - And people are quoting it as if it actually does predict the GUT, how much more stupid can you get. This is hilarious hahahaha ...
