Some of Islam's teachings may not be applicable today. But Islam was and still
is a great religion with a billion of followers. Islam
played an important part in human civilization |
| 2 |
What
about the great minds of Islamic world, like Zakaria
Razi, Ibn Sina, Ibn Rushd, Khayyam, Ibn
Arabbi, Al Muari and many more? Shouldn’t we thank
Islam for rearing these luminaries? |
| 3 |
Your
criticism is Just about Islam or all religions? |
| 4 |
You
talk about the bad parts. How about the good parts? Do
you see any good part in Islam or all what you see is
bad? |
| 5 |
Do
you suggest that Islam is bad for the people and they
should accept other religions or no religion at all?
What is good in your view for the people to believe
in? What are your recommendations, if any? |
| 6 |
Is
it right to be disrespectful towards any religion that
we don’t believe in and sully the image of their
founders? |
| 7 |
People
must respect other people's beliefs instead of
insulting them and provoking them by offending that
which is sacred to them. |
| 8 |
What
you write about the Prophet is offensive to
those of us who believe in him as a messenger
of God. You are insulting us and the religion
of more than a billion people. |
| 9 |
You
seem to think that Violence and killing of
non-believers is unique to Muslim but fail to
point out that Judaism, the forerunner to both
Christianity and Islam, had similar
commandments put upon them. |
| 10 |
What
you are writing are all facts and true.
Like what the present Jews say "The only
good Arab is the Dead Arab" |
| 11 |
God in my view is invisible,
incomprehensible, inaccessible, a pure essence, which
cannot be described. You attempt to describe the
indescribable and explain the unexplainable.
You
are the creation of God; your attempt to understand
God is like Mona Lisa’s attempt to understand Da
Vincy. No matter how intelligent you may be you
cannot understand your creator.
|
| 12 |
Why
are you against God? |
| 13 |
Who
are we to really know who or what God
is? |
| 14 |
Human
logic is fallible. It is not a reliable mean to know
God.
|
| 15 |
What
do you know that billions of human beings have missed
out for thousands of years until this very
moment? |
| 16 |
Are
you telling me that thousands of sages, saints and
prophets during the history of mankind who believed in
God were wrong, and now you want to "refute"
that God is a being? |
| 17 |
Why
do you only talk about Islam? What about Christianity
and Judaism that are as illogical as Islam? |
| 18 |
But
there are other versions of Islam. Not all Muslims are
fanatics. There are many Muslims who are liberals, who
believe in human rights and equality of gender. You
cannot condemn all the Muslims. |
| 19
|
You
are wrong, it was intolerant people like you that couse
hatred and stir sedition among people. |
| 20 |
You
are forgetting the historical context and the prevailing
social, cultural, and geo-political conditions of those
times. In those days, and in that culture, people did
not think or behave in such a "civilized"
manner as people do today. Killing in those days was not
a big deal. |
| 21 |
Quran
can be interpreted in different ways and each person can
grasp something from it based on his own understanding and
capacity. This is the beauty of Quran.
|
| 22 |
How is it possible that this world has come to
be without any intervention while one knows
there has been a person walking on the snow
when one sees his footprints? |
| 23 |
If Muhammad was not the messenger of God, why
would he pretend to be? If it was because of
wealth and women, then was he that stupid to
risk his life over and over just to have sex
and get rich. Wasn't he already rich after marrying
Khadijeh? |
| 24 |
Don't you think that he (the Prophet) was
pretty smart for his time? If he was insane
like you said in your report, then how did he
fool so many people so easily? You cannot say
that the barbarians back then were stupid
because not everybody was stupid? |
| 25 |
Keeping people to believe in a false doctrine
for 23 years is a hard thing to do. Look at
the Islamic republic of Iran. After just a
year or two people stopped believing that it
is a good government. So how did people
continue to believe in Muhammad for 23 years? |
| 26 |
I don't understand why would Muhammad lie
about being a prophet? After all he was
known to be very honest, |
| 27 |
Muhammad overcame many obstacles. At first
there wasn’t much chance of him to succeed,
but he didn't lose hope, I just think that he
must really believed in what he was doing. |
| 28 |
There are some cases that seem extraordinary,
like the Battle of Badr, the Muslims were only
one third of the other group or the Battle of
Ohod. Doesn’t that prove that there was a
divine force with the Prophet? |
| 29 |
To what you attribute the rise of religious
fundamentalism in the Islamic countries? |
| 30 |
Islam
is a religion filled with positives and
negatives, and thanks to my rational ability,
I am well able to dissect the positive from
negative without discrediting the whole
religion and the good it has to offer Islam
has lots of truth, and lies as well. |
| 31 |
You emphasize so much on doubt and that your
mission is to make people doubt their beliefs.
Don’t you think that this isn’t polite? It
means that you only cause confusion. |
| 32 |
Why
a nun can be covered from head to toe and
she's respected for devoting herself to God,
but when a Muslimah does that, she's
considered "oppressed"? |
| 33 |
Why
a Jew can grow a beard and he's just
practicing his faith, and when a Muslim does
that, he's an extremist? |
| 34 |
Why
when a western woman stays at home to look
after the house and kids she's sacrificing
herself and doing good for the household, but
when a Muslim woman does so, she "needs
to be liberated"? |
| 35 |
Why
is it that when a child dedicates himself to a
subject, he has potential, and when a child
dedicates himself to Islam, he is hopeless? |
| 36 |
Why
when a Christian kills someone, religion is
not mentioned, (i.e., Ireland and the IRA) but
when a Muslim is charged with a crime, it's
Islam that goes to trial? |
| 37 |
Why is it after all that, Islam is
still the fastest growing religion in the
world?
|
| 38 |
You
quote Quran out of its correct context. |
| 39 |
Quran
contains many good teachings. out of more than
6000 verses you pick only those that suit your
agenda. |
| 40 |
In
the verse 79:30 it is stated that the Earth is
egg shape. Eggs are spherical. How Muhammad
knew this 1400 years ago? |
| 41 |
I
am a Muslim who, after reading your articles,
am having some doubts. The only thing
that is hindering me from apostasizing is the
fear of hell. |
| 42 |
Could
you explain what is evolution and why
everything happens at its pace as we so
rightly see in our everyday lives? To
elaborate further - the birth process, the
death process, why do we eat & drink, why
do we fall ill and equally, why and how are we
cured and where does the cure come from?
|
| 43 |
I
do not agree that Islam is against women.
The Bible is very derogatory towards the
women. Let it be known that in the Bible Eve
was blamed for Adams downfall, that I
Corinthians asserts that the man is the head
of the woman and that a woman who walks within
the church with her head uncovered is to be
full of shame, that in I Corinthians as well a
man is the reflection of God while the women
is merely the reflection of man. ... |
| 44 |
Before
westerners accuse Islam of violating the
rights of women, lets look at their own
statistics and the number of women raped,
abused and discarded there. |
| 45 |
The
way that women's bodies are viewed as
commodities changing as the current fashion
trend dictates. The number of eating
disorders, the huge diet industry and even
larger beauty industry as women fight to be
something that they can never achieve is an
abuse of women. Why are most
corporate CEO's men, most managers--why are
women still not given equal pay in the land of
the free and the home of the brave? I am
not saying that some Islamic countries are not
full of problems but let's not close our eyes
to the problems of the western world.
