Hussein Please take a look at this article. It may answer your query. http://www.faithfreedom.org/the_narcissist.htm Regards Ali Sina Dear Ali, Thanks for your enlighten response, your rational makes a lot of sense. I thought of something also, Mohamed said that when we die we will go into a "limbo " period where if we were bad " and specially did not pray " there will be a "bold snake who will torture us till the judgment day where we all going to be judged, and god will decide whether we deserve heaven or hell. Mohamed will make recommendation to God that for some Moslems they deserve a break so God can forgive them and put him in heaven! So that means that no one will enter heaven or hell before the judgment day for all god's creatures, so when Mohamed went on his journey to the seventh sky, he mentioned that he saw Hell full of mostly "women" (question where all these people come from that he saw in hel? I thought they would be there AFTER the judgment day! He also met with god to ask him "or to negotiate to drop the number of prayers from 50 a day to 5 a day! Can you believe this , I just wanted to add this information , which I am sure you know about it already keep up the good work Hussein
dear Ali: I stumbled on your website about a month back.Your site opened my eyes. I have read every thing on your site as well as on the sites of many other links. I go on your site every day looking for new articles. Count me in as your partner in the crusade of spreading the truth.Every day I e-mail about 15 people recommending to go on your site. You should think of ways to publicize your site. Please let me know how else can I help in spreading the truth and eliminating the fanaticsm and ignorance. It is such a pity that millions of people waste thier time and money in rituals, go through a hard life to be islamic, deny themselves modern day entertainments (declared un-islamic), spend their very hard earned money and sometimes lifetime savings to make an expensive trip to haj and umra, give zakat after paying all local taxes, go throuh a month of fasting (which screws up thier health), and often live in fear after reading horrors of punishments for not leading a 100 % islamic life. A reply will be appreciated.

Jan, 30. 2002 Caroline invites Cat Stevens (Yusef Islam) to defend Islam by refuting this site. This is a copy of what she wrote to Cat.
Jan 24, 2002 I went to your page and found the link to the anti-Sina
site. Interesting to say the least,
especially the two pictures, the one of the woman being beaten and the partially
clad woman. I may be very mistaken about this, but are many men from Islamic countries obsessed with sex? I have asked people through chat if a woman in an Islamic
country can drive alone at any hour of the night like I do and not fear violent
crime. I live in a larger city.
I've also lived in small towns where women will walk alone after dark
without fear of molestation. I've
never had this question answered. D. Dear D. Not just Muslim men but Muhammad
himself was obsessed with sex. It is reported that he refused to shake the hands
of women who wanted to pay allegiance to him and his cause. Now this is either
because he considered them dirty or because he was having sexual feelings about
them and therefore wanted to avoid temptation. Muslim men think like him. The
reason they beat the women if they expose a hair or a body part is as you said,
due to their obsession with sex. They are unable to see women as fellow human
beings. To them women are sexual objects and since this would cause temptation
they force women to cover themselves. Of course Islamic veil has other
causes too. Muhammad was an old man with a bunch of beautiful teenagers as his
wives. He felt very insecure when young men could see his wives. Therefore in
one occasion when some men were visiting him and his wives were roaming around
in the house, he made his ready-to-comply Allah to "reveal" some
verses that ordered his wives to cover themselves. Now Muslims use those verses
to impose Islamic hi jab on millions of women. When you have a billion
people following an insane what else you can expect? Regards Ali Sina
Jan, 24, 2002 Ali, I confess to tirelessly circulating your site the last few months, not only to friends, colleges...but journalists and think tanks, etc. Mark
-----Original Message----- From: Mark Thomas [mailto:mark.thomas@attbi.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2002 5:09 PM To: hassan@freedomofmind.com Subject: Islamic Cults
Dear Steven Hassan, I saw you on MSNBC this morning and have been reading your website today and remembering the Waco incident (I live north of there). I've been reading through your site today and one quote bothers me: "Islamic religious leaders need to communicate to these people that what they have been taught is actually against the Koran." I have known many Muslims both in Chicago where I grew up and in Dallas where I've lived for 15 years. While I've known them personally, and many were colleges and are friends, I was ignorant of Islam. After 9/11 the first book I read was the Koran, cover to cover. Then a book a Muslim friend recommended, Reading the Muslim Mind. When I discovered ex-Muslim Ali Sina's site on 11/20 and only then did everything make sense to me. Past statements of my friends and all. Steven, what the terrorists are doing is actually not against the oran. They totally justify their actions with it. While I see your studies and links are extensive in western and Asian cults, it seems to me you've also only just begun to think about Islamic cults. I recommend reading Ali's site if you have the time as well as the Koran. www.faithfreedom.org
Regards, Mark Thomas Thank you Mark, Yes the world should really take a close look at Islam for the first time. What happened on 9/11 is just the
beginning? I am afraid more
terrible catastrophes are ahead of us. We cannot win this war unless we destroy
Islam. On one hand our governments expend
billions of dollars to combat terrorism and on the other hand they allow the
expansion of the philosophy that teaches terrorism. This is duplicity and
insane. On one hand our president and our media call Islam the religion of peace
and on the other some people want to hang John Walker the American young man who
believed in our lies and followed that “religion of peace”. If Walker is a
traitor why does our government allow so many mosques in this county? Why do
they invite the Muslim leaders and give banquets in their honor? Yes please do spread the message. When more people learn the truth we will have less victims such as John Walker and the 3000 who lost their lives in NYC and Pentagon.

Never before have i ever seen such clearly presented ideas, a very balanced and unbiased mind and intellgibile statements to convince others about oneselves beliefs. You've done a great job. I was born muslim and for days I was wondering after reading an article on Abraham and his journeys through the middle east wether these monothiestic religions are true or are just
an invention and philosophies of the people from the middle east. Today
i have completely been elightened by you. You iranians are the most
sensible of all the muslim people,
I must say. Others would listen and accept the doubts of islam but will always
stay on that fundamentally weak path because
they are too egotistical to accept any mistakes. And beleiving and
following Muhammed is one big
mistake. Anywaze besides your site having so much information on the message you are trying to convey i would really appreciate it if you put some information about yourself. Since you are living in canada i beleive you will have no problems in revealing your identity. I know this is a long term decision and i bieng
impatient can not wait and would
realy like to know all about you. So please do reply to me with whatever you can
tell me about yourself. I am sorry for
having to write this e-mail so long
but i could take out anything i have written here. Please do reply. Dear Yaser, I thank you for your very kind words. Actually what I write is just simple commonsense. The reason you like it is because you already know it and believe in it. There is nothing new or original in my website. I say nothing that others have not said before me more eloquently. In fact I am very much aware of my own ignorance and shortcomings. My writings are expressions of simple thoughts. That is all I can produce: “simple thoughts” I am actually very much honored to see people expend their time reading them. In fact I am more than surprised to see so much attention given to this site. I am quite aware that the reason this site has become so popular is not because what I write is important (of course there are very good writings that my friends have written and I have adorned my site with them) but because the message I deliver has never been allowed to be expressed and therefore has never been heard. In Islamic countries people like me were silenced and their books burned and in Western countries people avoided the criticism of religion and especially Islam due to “political correctness”. I suppose Sep 11 have changed everything. Anyway, despite my shortcomings I decided to write. I always wanted to do something positive for the world. For many years I dreamed of starting orphanages in third world countries. But this dream never materialized. I never made enough money to realize my dreams. With this website, I try to spread the message of love, eliminate the causes of hate, ward off a world catastrophe of unimaginable consequence and bring about the unity of human kind before nothing of that is left. Of course what I do is so insignificant but that is all I can do. As Edward Everett Hale said, “I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything I will not refuse to do the something that I can do." As for writing about myself, I don’t think that is necessary. In one word I am nobody. I do not write to glorify myself. I am not after fame or name and I do not wish to become the center of any attention. My site is not about me at all. It is about a message. The thoughts expressed here are not mine either. They are things I learned throughout my life from better thinkers than myself. They are commonsense. The problem is that the commonsense is not very common. And there are those who oppose even the commonsense. Best wishes,

Dear Mr. Sinn:
Jan 23. 2002 Many Muslims living in western countries do not seem to
have grasped a basic fact about the societies in which they have settled which
they must grasp if they and their co-religionists are going to keep the goodwill
of their hosts. In our countries Islam is and should be just one religion
among many. The fact that Muslims have been allowed to come and live here at all
is due to the secular nature of our societies and the fact that most of us no
longer take religion too seriously. For most of the past 1400 years the practice
of Islam has been prohibited in the predominantly Christian lands of Europe. If
Muslims see themselves on a mission to turn our countries into Islamic states by
stealth then they are not welcome and should leave. If they think our societies
are decadent then they should go and live in countries more to their liking. Muslims constantly complain that "westerners"
don't understand Islam. That is just as well for them. If the population of my
country were aware of the nature of this nasty, hate-mongering religion when
large-scale immigration from the Indian sub-continent began then not a single
Muslim Would have been allowed to set foot on our shores. Although Muslims
constantly express contempt for our "western" values, Muslims living
in todays western democracies have enjoyed more religious freedom than Jews and
Christians in any Islam-dominated society that has ever existed. Muslims take
advantage of our climate of religious tolerance to seek converts to their faith
yet give moral support to Islamic regimes which deny the same liberty to
non-Muslims, as well as financial support to organizations like al-Qaida whose
aim is the creation of an Islamic superstate with the power to threaten, invade
and conquer non-Muslim countries. It is time we treated these subversive fanatics according
to their own warped standards. RB Dear RB As much as I hate it but I have to admit that you are absolutely right.. I often talk with Muslims, shopkeepers, taxi drivers, even educated ones. When the subject of terrorism is raised, they all say that USA is terrorist. When I ask them to explain they say America killed civilians in Afghanistan and is helping Israel who kills Palestinian children. These people live here, enjoy from all the liberties and all the benefits that is given to them but they are secretly harboring the enmity of the country that they gave an arm and a leg to get into. Everything you said is plain truth. But I do not know what is the solution. Should we start screening people on the basis of religion? This of course goes against the very foundation of our humanistic values, values that sets the civilized secularist world apart from the barbaric Islamic world. Screening people on the basis of
religion is extremely unjust and a shameful thing yet this is not something
unknown to the Muslims. Muslims have been practicing it as if it is their right
for the last 1400 years. The Prophet was the architect of religious apartheid.
He was the one who introduced religious animosity in Arabia and prohibited his
followers to take the Jews and the Christians as friends. You of course know that no non-Muslim is allowed in Mecca and Medina. You also know that in many Islamic countries anyone seeking jobs, admission to universities or passport must fill a form and declare his religion. Often those who are not Muslims are denied. According to Islam if a non-Muslim kill a Muslim he must be put to death but no Muslim could be put to death if he kills a non-Muslim. As you recall the Hindus were forced to wear a yellow badge in Afghanistan during the rule of the Taliban. Baha'is in Iran and Ahmadis in Pakistan are persecuted. Most of the religious minorities in Iran found life unbearable in Islamic Republic of Iran and were forced to leave. I am a secular Sthical Humanists and I firmly believe in secular values of equality and abolition of discrimination on the bases of religion. But in this case I do not know what
to say! Should we screen people on the basis of religion? Should we control the
expansion of Islamism in our Western countries? Don’t we really have other
alternatives? Funny how Muslims in the West have
learned how to take advantage of the benefits of the law and not only have equal
but sometimes more rights than the main stream locals. In Canada for example
there is a law called Equal Opportunity Act (or something like that) According
to this law the visible minorities get the first chance to get the job. Compare
that to the rights of the minorities in Islamic countries. In those countries
even the human rights of the minorities are violated systematically. The solution that I propose is to spread the truth about Islam and let the world know that Islam is not a religion but a dangerous cult of hate. Instead of expending billions of dollars to combat terrorism we should expend just a tiny fraction of that to educate Muslims. Most Muslims are good people. They are misled and if they learn the truth they will never stay in Islam. I have taken this mission upon myself to help my fellow Muslim brothers and sisters to see the truth. There is a small group of freethinkers of Islamic origin who also is dedicated to expose the truth of Islam. But to counter the Islamic propaganda machinery we need more than just a few volunteers. Muslims expend billions of dollars to spread their lies and they have well paid staff such as those who work at CAIR whose job is to twist the truth for the American audience. We created the Faith Freedom International to tell the truth about Islam. Our group is very new and our number very limited, yet despite our limitations we have been very successful. But FFI is not enough. We need radios, literatures, documentaries and even movies depicting Muhammad and his life truly as he was.
Jan, 17, 2002 Hello, Mr. Ali Sina. My name is Shu and I am from Indonesia. Please excuse me for my poor English. I just visited your website about your observation towards
an Islam religion. Don't you think that people start to doubts the religions
since the first time man landed on the moon? All the vision about this world on Bible and Qur'an, isn't
it's different with the fact we know at this present time? Like human evolution, Dinosour, Earth is Round, etc. And this made me to have one question Mr. Ali Sina and I
hope for your advice. What is going on right now with all this Major Religion? It seems that all the information and teaching didn't
connects each other with the reality. I hope for your reply.
Dear Shu, You are right. It is amazing how people are so willing to fool themselves. But things are changing gradually. Today, especially after the invention of the Internet many Muslims get the chance to read about Islam and they are leaving this cult of deceit and ignorance. The process is slow but it is getting momentum.
Jan, 17, 2002 Hello Mr. Sina,
I just wanted to tell you what an great job you did! Let me tell you a little about my self. My name is Amir, it's Pakistani. I come from a muslim father and a Catholic mother. I just wanted to tell you that your web site had helped me a great deal because my father who is Muslim is so angry that I am a Christian because I believe it to be the correct way. Anyway I just wanted to say that your site had helped me because my dad is constantly showing me errors in the bible but I guess I can get him back thanks to you... I just wanted to say thanks... Oh yeah Islam tore our family up too, because my dad feels he has to choose either "allah" or "us"... and he said "he chooses islam over us"
amir
Ali, My relatives know about my
and my siblings beliefs so we cannot inherit any of my fathers land or his
house, under Islamic law a Muslims children if not Muslim cannot inherit from
their father. I have adopted some children
from Pakistan and have learnt that Islam does not allow adoption and have
read many strange views about adoption in Islam, views that I'm sure you are
well aware of. I had a horrendous time adopting these girls in Pakistan. I had
to tell the judge that although I did agree with the Koran, I am
"foolish" to adopt these abounded/orphaned girls. I also took an oath
that I was risking all this against the wishes of the Koran and sunnah. Pakistan
does allow adoption but only gives you Guardianship and that is only done when
the child is a relative. Minorities live a life of
fear in Muslim countries, there is another side to the Muslims in Pakistan they
have a different face for Western citizens, for them they reserve another
"gentle" side... the "Peaceful Islam" Keep up the good work, I did
not believe that a Muslim had the brains and courage to do what you are doing,
you do not know the service you are doing to mankind, it is immense, expose the
violent faith. Please do not print my name
or my email address, I have family and relatives in Pakistan who are very dear
to me, both you and I know how Muslims react, Allah will tell them to go kill my
family. In fact it is written in the Koran.
Jan, 17, 2002 Thank You For Creating Your Website. I'm putting a link to Your Site on My Page. If You Ever Need Anything ... Another Site You May Want To Look At Is : Keep The Truth Alive. Yours Truly,
12 Jan 2002 Dear Sir, FIrst of all i would like to congratulate you on your marvellous website. It was a real eye opener to see your testimonies section. I had no idea that people were leaving Islam. All you ever hear about is how it is the fastest growing religion in the world. I never knew about the flip side to Islam. I was wondering you had any knowledge on how many people have left Islam. If you could maybe enlighten me or point me in the right direction i would be most grateful. Keep up the good work.
Anil London
Dear Anil, Thank you for your kind letter. Of course those who leave Islam do not usually announce it for very obvious reasons. But take a look at the discussions in any Iranian forum. You’ll see that more than half of the participants hate Islam. Internet is a safe place for people to announce their dissent form Islam. I can tell you with certainly that when this criminal Islamic regime ruling in Iran is toppled, Islam as a religion will also be toppled there and this will definitely influence other Islamic countries just as the Islamic revival of Iran influenced them more than two decades ago. If you want to have a feel of what the ex-Muslims say, please join our egroup at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mukto-mona/ Kind regards Ali Sina
Jan, 11, 2002 You're welcome Ali, and thanks for the invitation to join
the forum. I did join up over the last weekend, I have been reading
there and at the Iranian forum you've also linked. I was very curious about your
debate with Pahlavi which Nna mentioned in your readers comments section, so I
read those posts last night. I agree whole heartedly with you in your responses
to Mr. Pahlavi. Here's a recent story of him in the New Republic, a decent
political magazine. http://www.tnr.com/011402/foer011402.html
Now it's hard to think that I've only been reading your
site since 11/20, I've collapsed many beliefs of mine since then. So far I've
read a little more now than about half of your articles and often they would
inspire a whirlwind of thought only to see that you've already been there with
similar thoughts when I read the next article. Our "paths" in life are
similar in that when I was 13 my parents divorced which began my fall from
Catholic grace. One of my first teachers then was John Powell whom I met soon
after the divorce. He is a Jesuit who also wrote "The Secret of Staying in
Love." Excellent book. Gandhi is also my teacher, I remember getting chills
up my spine watching the movie with Ben Kingsley. I also get the same feeling
reading Martin Luther Kings speeches and so on. I'm not a religious person today but the experience is
interesting, similar to your spiritual experience you've written about. I even
get shivers when I hear the last two parts of that song Free Will...Each of
us... Anyway, I was a college freshman during the Islamic
revolution and I always like to keep up with current events. Witnessing the
Iran/Iraq war and listening to "freethinking" bands like Rush back
then was the final pushes for me to let go of religion during my college years.
Today I like to use self-hypnosis to actively direct desired changes in my self,
perhaps that's all the "power of prayer" and all that stuff actually
is. Hopefully, with yours and so many others dedication, these
times will change for the better and we can discuss lighter things like Iranian
films. I stand fully with you, for you're right -- it is all of our
responsibility. For the grandmother, for the grandfather and the two hopeful
young women pictured in those three Iranian candlelight vigils posted on your
homepage and so many others. I understand that most of the work must be done
from within the Muslim and ex-Muslim community, but the rest of us will stand in
unity with you. It's truly remarkable what is happening in Iran today and I was
deeply moved and got shivers again reading your "Slaying Islam" piece,
Teacher. Yes Ali, I call you teacher. Take care.
Jan 6. 2002 Hello Mr Sina, I have a question for you, I'm told that the black stone that is located in Mecca really a Lingam is,
and that the islamic forces weren't able to destroy it. Therefore they decided
to cover the Ka'aba with a black curtain. Is this true? and if it is were can i read about it? I've got another question for you. I'm also told that 25th of December wasn't Jesus birthday but the birthday of
the homosexual god Saturn, Saturnalia. And that Jesus his real name Yoshua Ben
Yozef is. Constantine turned the name of Yoshua into Jesus Christ and he decided
that jesus was born on the 25th he also seperated god into 3. And is it true that the
church believed in Reincarnation untill the year 500??? Can you please tell we were i can find some anwsers? And were i can read
about it? What books??? Thanks for reading my mail! i hope you will find the time to anwser all my
questions yours sincerely, Shashi Roopram (from Holland
Black Stone and Ka'ba The stone worshipping was predominant is ancient Middle
East. You can find traces of that even in Bible. In the story of Jacob we read
that he slept with his head resting on a stone and dreamed angels descending
from heaven. When he woke up “he took the stone that was under his head and
set it up as a memorial. Then he poured olive oil over it to dedicate it to God.
Gen: 28:18 Of course meteorites had particularly special significance.
They were stones sent from heaven. The reddish black stone in the corner of the
building Ka’ba was believed to be a meteorite. But its is now believed that it
could also be a lava or
basalt. This story that you heard about indestructibility of the
black stone is nonsense. This stone is already creaked in three pieces and is
hold together by a silver bracing. The covering of Ka’ba is an Eastern
tradition. All holy places, like tombs of important religious figures are
covered by curtains. Ka’ba was covered by black curtain even before Islam. The Origin of Christmas As you may have heard in the news today (Jan 6th
) the Orthodox Christians celebrated the Christmas. Obviously even the Christians do not agree over the date of
the birth of Christ. In the Luke 2:8 we read:
"And
there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch
over their flock by night." December is the rainy season in Palestine and the whether
is cold. The shepherds do not keep their flock in the fields during December but
by mid October they are kept in the fold. The origin of this festivity is presumed to be Mithraic and about 4000 years old. Mithra was the god of light in ancient Iran. The symbol of Mithra is Sun. Iranians used this symbol in their flag for at least the last 2500 years see here. The period of 17th to 24th of December was the duration of this feast. The 21st of December, which is the solstice of winter, is still celebrated in Iran It is called the night of “Yalda” as it represents the victory of light over darkness, which symbolizes the triumph of good over evil. Mithraism was brought to Europe by Macedonian soldiers after the defeat of the Persians by Alexander and by the forth century AD it was the predominant religion of Europe and the main rival to Christianity. Prior to the dominance of Christianity the Romans celebrated this festivity during the 25th of Dec to 6th of January. Mithraism gained favor by the Emperor Commodus and Julian and in 307 Diocletian built a temple on the Danube River dedicated to Mithra. Mithraism spread throughout Europe from Rome to the province of Numidia in North Africa up to England and Scotland. But after the conversion of emperor Constantine in 313 A.D. Christianity was spread throughout the empire and Mithraism, as St. Jerome reports, was forcefully subdued especially in Rome and in Alexandria. In the forth century Pope Leo destroyed the temple of Mithra (376 A.D.). Despite that the Mithraic festivity of the birth of the Sun continued, as it was a convenient time to be merry in the middle of the winter. Even today many celebrate the Christmas although they are not Christians. It was not till the year 530 AD that the church commissioned the Monk Dionysius Exiguus to proclaim this popular festivity as the birth of Christ. The New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge explains: "How much the date of the festival depended upon the pagan Brumalia (December 25th) following the Saturnalia (December 17th-24th), and celebrating the shortest day of the year and the 'new sun'...cannot be accurately determined. The pagan Saturnalia and Brumalia were too deeply entrenched in popular custom to be set aside by Christian influence...The pagan festival with it's riot and merrymaking was so popular that Christians were glad of an excuse to continue its celebration with little change in spirit and in manner. Christian preachers of the West and the Near East protested against the unseemly frivolity with which Christ's birthday was celebrated, while Christians of Mesopotamia accused their western brethren of idolatry and sun worship for adopting as Christian this pagan festival" St
Augustine says " we hold this (Christmas) day Holy, not like the pagans because of the Birth
of the Sun, but because of the birth of him who made it
(Christmas) day Holy, not
like the pagans because of the Birth of the Sun, but because of the birth of him
who made it" This
clearly shows that the 25th of December was a festivity dedicated to
the Birth of the Sun that was adopted by the Christians. Apart from
Christmas, Christianity absorbed many Mithraic myths and legends like baptism,
eucharists, 12 disciples, birth in a cave/stable, the presence of shepherds at
the birth and resurrection. The midwinter was celebrated by many cultures. In Babylon it was dedicated to
Queen of Heaven, in Greece it was to Dionysos and Adonis, In Rome it was a to
Saturn, in England it was to the Nordic God Balder but it is the Persian
myth of the birth of the solar God Mithra that is most likely the origin of
Christmas.
Reincarnation in Christianity In the year 553 A. D., the 2nd Council of Constantinople declared
reincarnation a heresy and the doctrine of reincarnation was officially banished
by the Christian Church. This shows that the doctrine of reincarnation must have
been infiltrated among the Christians otherwise such decree by the 2nd
Council would have not been needed.
Jan 6, 2002 Dear Mr Sina, I felt really impressed after reading your article. i'm a student in Malaysia. And as you know Malaysia is an islamic country. Many of my friends have persuaded me to be a muslim and they showed me many books about contradictions in Christianity. But after i read your articles i begin to realize the true image of islam. However, how can i persuade my islam friends to understand the truth? Can you give me some ideas thank you...and may God bless you... Jason Dear Jason, Thank you for your kind letter. I actually do not recommend you discussing about your findings with your friends. Muslims often get irritated when you criticize their religion and they can even resort to violence. Instead I encourage you to start a campaign through the Internet, go to chat rooms and different forums where Islam and religion is discussed. There you can talk about Islam freely and without the fear of becoming the target of Islamic violence. You may ask your friends to see my site and answer to my challenge, but avoid arguing with them. Take care, Ali Sina Dear Mr Sina, Thank you very much for the reply. Yes ,you are right, i should not discuss it with my friend. Because many have been detained under ISA for being accused to criticize their religion. thank God that he make me realize that islam is not true.... i was almost convinced that islam is the true religon, because they seem very holy, practice prayer 5 times a day, fasted in Ramahdan.... in Malaysia, i think i 'm not able to i convince my friends to see your site b'coz anti islam site is consider a propaganda of the Americans to destroy Muslim countries. thanks again Mr Sina take care Jason
Jan, 5, 2002 Dear Ali Your web site is wonderful beyond imagination. I have been
writing to you a very long e-mail about my story, but in fact I could not wait
until I finish. I hope you take the time to read it. But please I want to stay
anonymous. You will not believe that I have suspicion that your web site might
be a trap for those who left Isalm to track them down and apply one of (hedoud
Allah) or Allah's punishments and kill them. I came very close to converting to Islam, but the only
problem was Mohamed's nature. Being raised in an Arabic country, listening to
the Quran and Hadith in Arabic is a very different experience. Reading El-Tabri
describing the manners of the prophet makes any human with the least amount of
common sense decency, utterly sick. In the time the hypocrite media is trying to
convince us of the peaceful nature of Islam, you are putting the axe on one of
the humanity's worst nightmares. I really admire your courage. Only very few
would be gifted with a critical mind such as yours and go against the trends. I now live in the West. Nevertheless, I had a Muslim friend
whom I cherish so mush. He came to the west as a refugee. When I told him about
the atrocities about the "sehaba" (Abu Bakr, Omar, etc... ), he said
this can not be true, even if they did that I would say I asked him what do you think about the punishment of those
who leave Islam, he said very empathetically, that "there is no compulsion
in the religion" and every body is allowed to choose, so I confronted him
with the Hadith that says "Kill whoever converts back from Islam", he
said that this can not be true Hadith. Then I asked why did then Abu Bakr go on
a killing spree after Mohamed died, when many people who were forced into Islam
decided to convert back. He was confused, so he asked me to give him two days to
consult with the Imam of Mosque. Believe me you do not want
to know what happened after that. He came back after a couple of weeks telling
me that the youth of the Mosque started hating him because he argued one of the
basic tenets of Islam. This is happening here in the West, we do have people amongst
us who believe that killing those converts from Islam is a duty on every Muslim.
Killing a human for his conscience does not cause the least amount of pain to
them. It is a divine order, and the faithful would be so happy to carry it out.
I wonder if those "reverts" to Islam know about this punishment, which
any Muslim would be so happy to take Thawab for carrying it out. To everybody's
amazement, my Muslim friend now believes that it is JUST to kill those who leave
Islam. I wish if you can let me take part in debates with Muslims.
I have deep understanding of Islam in Arabic, and the contexts of the verses. I
see Muslims way of thinking and I see that it is so frustrating to try to repeat
to them the same answers. One of the funniest things that I encountered while in
a dialogue with that Muslim friend was that when he came back from the Mosque.
Apparently, he tried to argue with them about the atrocities of Mohammad and his
followers. He came back to me saying so what about the witch hunt, the crusades.
While all Christians are ashamed of these things now, many Muslims live in the
Utopia of carrying the swords like Mohammed did and behave exactly like him. I
think Islam can NOT survive if what Mohamed and his Sehaba did has been
condemned by current day Muslims. I remember the most prominent Sheikh in my
country coming on TV and trying to defend why Mohammed marry all these women.
Listen to this, because it is coming from the most authoritative religious
figure in Egypt: "Jesus married ten women, why are people so angry
about Mohammed being married to all these number of women". He was refereeing
to the symbolical story narrated by Jesus in the new testament. You see this is
the problem: you are trying to arue with people whose system of values is so corrupt, and they conceive the
world utterly differently. They have swords upon their necks, no wonder they
believe. I just have a question, regarding this point, I want to
know what number was Ayesha the 9 year old girl when Mohammed married her? Can
you give evidence on that? I mean was she the second third, ... etc. I hope you give me a chance to debate with Muslims, I will
be writing to you refutation for their arguments, but please I insist on
remaining anonymous. My only concern now is about your life and your web site
and the books you have. It is so rare to find someone treading that treacherous
path trying to elicit truth to Muslims. I know that whoever is hosting your web site
must be under enormous pressure to shut you down. That is the way Muslims feel
victorious.
Jan, 3, 2002 I found some of the material on your site thought provoking
and as an American had little knowledge of Islam prior to Sept. 11,
yet I still don't know what to believe. Both
the Jewish and Christian bibles are full of similar irrational or hateful tenets
so I admit that it is hard to become alarmed of such things in the Quran.
You do seem to have a personal knowledge of what you write
about, yet it may be helpful to acknowledge on your website the dangers of
religious fundamentalism in the west, especially its growth in the US.
In fact, President Bush often speaks like one of its adherents, which of
course is no surprise as his political base originates in the South, an area
steeped in religious obscurantism.
If the West is trending toward fundamentalist despotism at
the expense of its enlightenment heritage, is this not a greater threat to world
integration? It also seems like many of the political regimes in the
mid-east exploit the foibles of Islamic thinking in order to maintain their
narrow and unpopular power base. People steeped in simple religious ideologies
are often easiest to manipulate and therefore the favoite of despotic
governments from Nazi Germany to present Iran, Saudi Arabia and maybe one day, a
Christian US? Acknowledgement of these issues would make your
protestations against the Quran less antagonistic to readers of that faith and
have a wider "humanist" meaning.
Yes you are absolutely right and I agree 100% Ali Sina
Hello Mr. Sina, Your site is
extremely intriguing and informative. I am a Hindu by faith but would not
say I am religious. I believe that My Mom and Dad are my Goddess and God
as they lived their live by great virtues of humanity. I only believe thay
my religion (or Dharma) is my duty (or Karma) as preached in Gita (a practical
Hindu book - I won't say that it is a religious book). My basic belief
was that no religion can ever preach violence but I was greatly surprised by
going through your site. This kind of gives you a clue why there is always
violence in regions dominated by followers of Islam. It seems that they
don't believe in peaceful co-existence. What surprises me that the number
of followers in Islam is still increasing around the globe. Not sure what
attracts people to this religion if it in essence is preaching so much of
violence. I would appreciate your comments in this area. What I have
noticed that Muslims do not typically think that they belong to a country.
They owe allegiance to the religion. For example, many Muslims in India
would support Pakistan rather than India because Pakistan is an Islamic state.
Another noticeable thing is that the religious leaders of Islam like to keep
their people uneducated so that they can control them and eercise power in the
form of vote bank. Although the ratio of Muslim and Hindu population in
India is 3:20, the ratio of participants in academic institutions is likely
1:150. This is unfortunate as it is keeping the entire Muslim population
poor and resulting in them getting involved in prostitution, mafia-related
activites, smuggling and other crimes. Frankly, I would
blame these religious leaders who are keeping their own people unenlightened for
their own benefit. Again your site
is a revelation and may you be blessed with long life as we need lots of people
like yourself in this world to root out bigotry, fundamentalism, darkness and
hatred. Thanks and I will
feel greatly honored to get a reply from you. Deb
Dear Deb, Thank you
for your kind and enlightening email. Of course the honor is mine to have
received your email. Unfortunately what you said about Islam and Muslims is
true. But Muslims are my people, I cannot remain silent when I see what Islam is
doing to them. I hope one day Muslims awaken from their slumber and embrace the
rest of humanity in amity and help to built a new civilization of human kind. Please join our discussion board at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mukto-mona/
where you’ll find lots of people who are working hard to “root out bigotry,
fundamentalism, darkness and hatred.” Best of wishes Ali Sina
Jan, 3. 2002 Hi
Dr. Sina, something interesting happened on my job today. As I have always been
I like to share my knowledge with people and your website happens to be one of
them. I referred a colleague at work to your site and after a span of 30
minutes, he came back and of course I was expecting an intellectual discussion
instead his comment was uncomplimentary. He: Oh, he'scrazy, he being you and I
immediately snapped and questioned why and what made you a crazy, needless to
say that nothing was pointed that warranted that comment. “You inadvertently won me over as a crusader for
your noble cause. A united human race.” Dear Nna, Thank you for your desire to
become a crusader for the unity of human race. This indeed is a noble cause, but
the good news is that you and I are not alone. There are many people who like us
indefatigably strive to eliminate the hate that divide the human race and
establish its glorious oneness. I have the honor to work with
some of them. We have formed an organization that we would shortly open to
everyone to join. It is called Faith Freedom International and our goal is just
as you said, to crusade for the noble cause of unity of human race. Why don’t you join our
discussion group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mukto-mona/ See you there and wish you the best. Ali
Jan, 3, 2002 Dear Dr. Ali, Hi, it's been with great interest and enthusiasm of reading your site. In fact, I've been following it almost everyday ever since I found it half a year ago. Your facts and details have been most consistent I would say and even to the extend of enlightening. I admire your vividly clear train of thoughts, which, English or not, is best at it's raw consumption. Salute to the work you and those involved in making this website a successful one. I am a Malaysian but I am not a Muslim neither a Malay(indegenous).I have not been a Muslim but I have been born and raised to see Muslims and the practice of Islam around me. When I was small, I used to see Malaysia as a beautiful place that hoped she would grow in harmony as I was growing up. I lived in a neighbourhood where four different races lived together with different religions of course. As years went by, the influence of Islam was growing stronger and stronger. I knew Islam is up to no good, from the din of their prayers as a starter (let alone other mistakes in this religion). I have seen how they imposed their laws and beliefs to non-muslims, the violence, hatred, lies and all those that you have stated in your site. I love my country and everyone who's born Malaysian. Often I feel very sad looking at how it is now. Sometimes, I even feel like crying for how Islam is taking away my country from the face of the world and all the good things that we could offer. My intention of writing this is not to show my support to your organisation or whatsoever but to write a small piece of my agony, distress, pain and sorrow this religion has brought to the humankind. I am 23 years old and all this while I have been living in great hopes that someday, Islam will change its course, at least, and help those who are lost and not to make them when they already are. If I could, I would wish to drive away this religion from my country, for the better. I do not hate you too Muslims. Do not unto others what you want not to yourself. Sincerely,
Ryan.
Jan, 2,2002 Was Muhammad forced out? In one of your articles you mentioned that Muhammad claimed that his group had been forced out of Mecca and he used that to justify his attack on them. You countered that they had left voluntarily. In "Islam", by Karen
Armstrong (I know you don't like it), she claims on pages 12-13 that: - The Quraysh had imposed a two
year boycott on Muslims, refusing to
sell them food or anything else (it had ended before he left). Which
she claims had caused sickness and financial ruin. - Muhammad's uncle and protector
Abu Talib had died, leaving him open
to vendetta's. So his departure wasn't completely
voluntary. I agree with you that it didn't justify his attacks. Do you have any
additional information regarding the boycott, its justification and impact, and
other measures that were taken to try to get the Muslims to behave?
Dear Bill, Yes the Quraish did impose a ban on
Muhammad and those who supported him but he was not forced out of Mecca. This
ban was “That they would not marry their women, nor give their own in
marriage to them; that they would sell nothing to them, nor buy aught from them
;-that dealings with them of every kind should cease” What was the reason for this ban? We
should remember that Muhammad for years taunted the religion of the Quraish and
ridiculed their gods. The Quraish were angry of this behavior and the
relationship between them and the Muslims was not amicable. However despite all
the insults that Muhammad hurled at their gods no Muslim was persecuted, or
killed by the Quriash. The only incidence of physical violence is when Omar
prior to his acceptance of Islam beat his sister for having converted to Islam. In
another part I explained about the migration of the Muslims and why Muhammad
coerced his followers to leave town. I demonstrated that Muslims were not forced
out of the Mecca. On the contrary the families of these Muslims tried hard to
keep them and prevented their departure. We also should know that Muhammad’s
followers went to Abyssinia and according to the reports Najashy the king of
Abyssinia was supportive of them. In earlier years Abyssinians had attacked
Mecca and this country was not friendly with the Quraish. This act of Muhammad,
i.e. sending his followers to a country that is inimical to the Meccans was seen
with suspicion by the Meccans. What he did was nothing short of treason. The
reaction of the Meccans towards Muhammad and his followers is understandable and
very mild. Even today treason can is a capital crime. Also Meccans were not pleased of the
fact that Muhammad was seducing their relatives and forcing them to leave town.
The ban was intended to reduce the contact of the Muslims with the population.
Yet despite the tense atmosphere, the Quraish never committed any act of
violence against the Muslims or Muhammad himself. Nevertheless Muhammad and his
family withdrew to a quarter near the city called Sheb of Abu Talib. The only
member of his family that did not go was Abu Lahab the learned uncle of Muhammad
who did not like his nephew’s lunatic claims of prophethood. But Muhammad and
his family were free to come to town during religious festivities when they sold
and bought their goods in the Market trading with the outsiders. After two years
the ban was lifted and the house of Hisham (the extended family of Muhammad)
came out of the quarter and resumed their normal life. Compare this to the massacre of the
Banu Quraiza and other Jewish tribes that fell in the hands of Muhammad. He
killed them all, took position of their belongings and enslaved and sold their
women and children. I apologize for not having enough
time to go in more details. Please join our discussion group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mukto-mona/
other friends could carry on this discussion. Regards
Jan, 2. 2002 Feeling great reading your artical My name is Amrit patel. I am an Indian by ethnicity. I came across your
website. I read you great article, your rational logical thinking gave an
exciting experience. I am feeling as if I have found my childhood friend. The
world is on its course just because of the people like you and their honest
affords. I believe in logistic thinking. I have no faith in "faith" .
All the institutionalized religion have done nothing but spreading hatred, war,
misery. They ceased the rational, logical thinking. They want to secure their
interest by pushing the people into darkness thru fear and lust.
Jan, 1, 2002 Dear Sir: Happy New Year!
I thank you for your fine website. I believe that websites like yours do
much to help lift Islam's veil of darkness, thereby making it easier to enjoy
the freedom and wisdom of truth's light. You are a particularly courageous
individual to not only leave Islam but to also to fearlessly tell the world you
have done so. The world needs more such bravery. Anyway, best wishes
for 2002! Sincerely, Herman
Jan, 1, 2002 Congratulations on your site. Frankly, Mr. Sina, I think you are a superior and enlightened human being. I am not a Muslim. I am an ex-Christian who like you, believes in God, but not in organized religion. For you, raised a Muslim, to have taken an honest look at Islam and to come to the conclusions you have shows great courage and a brilliant mind. For many years, I have been disturbed and terrified by the growth of Islam in the west and of Islamic fundamentalism in the world. I do NOT hate Arabs, Pakistanis or other Muslims as people. I have found many of them to be wonderful human beings individually. What disturbs me is the religion of Islam, the violence, the intolerance, the sexism, and the militant urge to impose, to control and to conquer. Islam is NOT just a religion like any other. It is an cruel, violent and dangerous force in the world. Most Christians to whom I have made such comments accuse me of being small-minded and bigoted, and stress that all religions are good. But when I ask them what they really know about Islam, I realize that they know practically nothing. Unlike 99% of non-Muslims in North America, I actually own a copy of the Koran (Pickthall translation) and long before the Sept. 11 incidents I had become very concerned about the growth in the West of a religion that does not accept the separation of church and state, or the freedom of conscience of the individual. One evening about a year ago, I attended a Humanist discussion where, among others, a leader of the Muslim Community in my city was speaking. He stressed that Muslims are quiet, law-abiding people. All fine and good. But when we got to the topic of Salman Rushdie, I realized something amazing. This kindly old man DID NOT DISAPPROVE of the idea of murdering a man for having written a book. He stressed that the fatwah (hope I spelled that right) to kill Rusdie was not done lightly,
but was the result of long deliberation by Muslim clerics. As if that justifies
wanting to murder an author whose book you dislike, and gunning down his
translators. Finally, I asked this old gent a question. I asked what he, as a law-abiding Canadian citizen, would do if he knew that Rushdie was in Canada and he knew of a Muslim "fighter" who was coming to kill him where he was hiding out. I at least expected him to say that he would call the police. But no! He simply refused to answer on the grounds that this was a "hypothetical" question. On another occasion, I wrote to ask Yosuf Islam (a.k.a the former singer Cat Stevens) to ask if he would approve of a law in his native Britain, where he lives, that would provide the death penalty for apostate Christians, just as Islam provides the death penalty for Apostate Muslims. He never answered me. Keep up the good work. I worry about you, though. Are you sure your identity is secret? I am sure there are more than a few Muslim fanatics who would like to put a bullet in you on behalf of Allah. (Funny, isn't it, how the Koran constantly says that Allah will do this and that to the "bad guys", but it is always some Muslim with a sword or a gun (or a hijacked plane) who has to do Allah's punishments for him.) May the God of your understanding be praised for having created the Internet. Before it came along, people like you and I would have been afraid to express ourselves. Maybe if the Internet had existed in Mohammed's time, he would not have had the same ability to have his critics murdered! I will continue to monitor your site with great interest. I am delighted to learn that there is a strong secular movement in Iran. Perhaps, someday, the human race will look back on organized religion much as Europe today looks back upon the long nightmare of witch trials, tortures and burnings. As a horrible nightmare insanity from which humanity awakened because of people like you, Mr. Sina. May you live and prosper!

Dec. 31, 2001 Dear Ali. Thank you very much for the website you published. I spent several hours reading it and will spend many more. I come from a former Czechoslovakia and live in USA. The former "east block" countries, that were under influence of communism and the religion was being prosecuted there, have developped a "religious vacuum". Muslim extremists are trying to take advantage of that vacuum to convert Christians or Atheists to Islam. I did waged many discussions in internet chatrooms and discussion boards about the Qur'an inciting violence against non muslims. I encountered exactly the same responses as you did. Most of the time sheer denial or accusations of taking scriptures out of context or just plain vulgarities. I found your site as the most comprehensive explanation of the dangers of Qur'an and i think that it should be translated to other languages, mainly to Eastern European like Czech, Slovak, Polish, Hungarian, Rumanian, Bulgarian, Russian and others. In those countries the islamic extremists are trying to gain their foothold now. There is a "Jihad" on internet in these
countries. A public relation war waged to justify the terrorism of muslims.
I cant sign my true name because i received also many threats against me.
If i can be somehow helpfull to you please let me know kindly regards.
Ali, all I can say at this time is God bless you for your
intellectual contribution on this enigma called Islam. As someone that used to
be from a country with Muslim population, I know how phony these guys are.
Extremely violent, deceitful, conniving lying bastards. Please let your security
be paramount to all your endeavors because these guys do not like dissenting
opinion about Islam, they like to shove it down nonbelievers throats.
Dec, 28. 2001 A beautiful site Dear Rational Thinking, Your site is a true gift. People need to wake-up to the fallacies of ALL religion. Religion is a sore that needs to be put in it's place. Your site is fantastic! Keep up the great work. I hope 9/11 will make more people aware of the despicable nature of religion. Especially, Judaism,Christianity and Islam. We don't need organized religions that teaches "enlightenment" by way of submission. If only more people would taste liberty for just a moment. They would never want to go back to the shackles of religion. Sincerely, Mr. P. Brian Draq
Dec, 28, 2001 Dear Sir: I read through your webpage and I must say that it is fantastic! Good work. You may appreciate mine which deals with the same subject. Let me know if you have any comments. http://www.geocities.com/critic34
Dec 28, 2001 Dear Ali, I just stumbled on a site called, www.islam-qa.com, today
and was dumbfounded to see the types of questions&answers asked by moslems
around the world to a so-called moslem scholar. In fact, I felt totally ashamed
to realize that I was born one of them. I suggest that you visit this site if
you dare to have your intelligence insulted. syed ebrahim
Dec, 28, 2001 Dear Dear brother in humanity, I have read quite a bit of your writings and I have learned
at least a few things if not more. I am glad that there are people like you out
there who wish to save humanity from self destruction. Your site is very
encouraging and very useful. Please keep it up. People like me support you whole
heartedly. I myself have done some writing, which is on ISIS site. Of course, I
may be older than you but I have just begun writing. I am about 20 younger than
Mr Anwer Shaikh, whose courage I admire. He is a great man at his age to come
out fighting against the intolerance that islam teaches. I hope things will get
better providing we do what needs to be done. That is we must carry on informing
people about the dangers of religious indoctrination in general but about
Islamic indoctrination in particular. I wish you all the best and a good luck. Mughal.
Dear Sir I just want to thank you for this site. And thank you for your courage to say all this and to keep on going. It is a light in a dark world. Thank you Heinz Reich
Dear Ali I am a Pakistani boy of 21 years of age in a professional college.I just to write a few words to The first thing that struck me was when i read about a that We created the stars as missiles to be thrown at the satans...I thought probably Muhammad could not differentiate between shootings stars and real stars... Everything you said was true .... I went exactly through the same stages of Denial Shock+confusion Guilt+confusion and then anger and now Confused.. There are many things that appeal to me in Islam and many things are ridiculous. Since I grew up in a very There are some things though i want to ask .. Like we do know from History that Moses defeated the pharoah HOw did he do that ? and also How was Abraha the man who went with an army of elephants to mecca defeated? I dont know where to go from here and who to talk to...but im beginning to get the whole picture of what i cant even pray to God ...What a stupid world.... But anyways you are doing a great job... REgards Afrasiab Dear
Afrasiab, You
and I are not the only ones who after reading the Quran have been shocked. Today
more and more Muslims are reading that book on their own and are leaving Islam
in troops. In fact Islam has started its descent into oblivion when the Internet
became the medium of communication between the people. The Mullahs can
do very little to stop this trend. In Iran the authorities have banned the
Internet and the satellite dishes so people become cut off from the truth. Of
course books have been banned for the last 1400 years. Islamists know that Islam
can only thrive through misrepresentations and lies. Truth is extremely
dangerous to Islam; it is like lighting a mach in total darkness. You
said that after reading the Quran you went through the stages of shock denial
and now you are confused. Well, your odyssey of learning is not over yet. Soon
you will find the enlightenment and that is the state of bliss that is certainly
worth waiting for. That is the state when you yourself will find the answers to
your questions and everything falls into perspective. You
wrote that since you grew up in a religious conservative family you would lose
everything if you revealed your thoughts to your family. This is of course true
and as you suspect you may even lose your life. I STRONGLY suggest not saying a
word about religion to anyone. You have to practice the art of keeping your
thoughts to yourself. The
only way to express your thoughts must be through the Internet. In this way you
can reach many more people and remain alive. Avoid talking about religion to
your parents and never argue about things that you disagree with. Today Dr.
Yunis Sheikh is in jail awaiting his execution in Islam Abad. He committed the
imprudence of stating the obvious that Muhammad prior to receiving his
revelation was not a Muslim and his parents who died before he proclaimed his
message were not Muslims either. His students thought by these statements he
desecrated Islam and the Mullas agreed. In such atmosphere of bigotry and
blindness any word could be interpreted as blasphemy and your life could be
endangered. As
for stories of the Bible about the miracles of Moses or the tales of Quran about
Muhammad’s bogus claims of splitting the moon or ascending to Heaven, know
that these are all fables concocted by charlatans to fool the foolhardy.
Muhammad was an ignorant Arab who thought the Moon and the Sun are two lamps
hanging in the sky. He was a narcissist. Narcissists are emotionally sick people
who desperately seek attention. They live for power and domination. They are
very insecure and have very low self-esteem. They try to compensate this feeling
of insecurity by dreams of grandiosity. They are sagacious, conniving and
manipulative but ruthless and stop at nothing to achieve their personal goals.
They are pathological liars. It means they lie impulsively and out of control.
Yet they say it so emphatically and with such confidence that often they
themselves believe in their own lies. All the dictators belonged to
this category. Their self-confidence, which is but a show to cover their lack of
confidence impress people and since they have no regards for the lives they
destroy, they give empty promises and can even rose people into excitement and
mass hysteria. Hitler was one of them. Once you see Muhammad in this light
everything falls into place. So when he made up the story that he went to heaven
his foolhardy followers believed in him and he kept making more lies about
receiving revelations and being in contact with Gabriel and God. Today we have
many cult leaders who are as sick as Muhammad was but Muhammad’s fortune lies
in the fact that he came among a people who were lawless. So he kept invading
caravans and towns, killing people and usurping their properties and his
ignorant followers attributed this to the power of Allah and the sign that God
must be with him. I
