    That is a great collection of questions. But I bet when an Islamic scholar is fronted with those questions the answer will be "Allahu wa rasuluhu 'alam". Or "brother, have a clean heart and trust Allah".

    I am quoting this post of mine from another thread because someone suggested I post these questions here to add to this collection:

    Quote from: ateapotist on January 06, 2011, 01:51 PM
    One thing I have been very tempted to do, but haven't quite got round to it, is to go to Islamic fatwa websites and ask some seemingly innocuous questions pretending to be a Muslim who is beginning to think critically about Islamic dogma.
    Questions like:
    • The evidence for evolution seems compelling to me.  Can I take the whole 'Adam-and-Eve' story metaphorically?
    • The miracles of the prophets seem highly implausible.  Can I assume they were just myths or dreams passed on from generation to generation?
    • I do not like many things that the Prophet Muhammad did, like the sex with 9 year old Aisha, and the Banu Qurayza massacre.  Can we just see Muhammad as merely man of his time and not take him as the 'perfect role model' for all humanity for all time?
    • Sharia punishments like stoning to death, and chopping off limbs, etc, seem barbaric.  Do they have to be followed even in the 21st century?
    • To what extent should Muslims living in the West obey the law of the land?  What if the law (like compulsory car insurance) requires doing something haram?
    • Why aren't Muslims allowed to think critically and ask awkward questions about their faith?


    In fact, I once comtemplated phoning in live on a Ramadhan Radio programme to express my feelings.  Perhaps even to drop the bombshell that I'm an ex-Muslim.  Tongue

    If Islam is so obviously the best religion in the world, why does it have to be enforced onto people by fear?

    If Islam is such a miraculously true faith then why do we condemn questioning it?

    Why kill apostates if they are going to burn in hell anyway?

    We need to filter out only quality questions. Belladonnasix had indeed mentioned pretty good questions.

    Do you believe that quran is protected ?

    If so why didn't Allah protect the book of the Jews and Christians and why didn't Allah just create a tablet that couldn't be corrupted by any man ?
    I mean,he created the whole freaking universe and he can't even protect his little book from being corrupted by puny humans ?

    Why does Allah blame and  punish humankind,when he is the author and engineer of everything ever created ? Is he mental ?


     Huh?

    Dunno if this question is already written, but it's a very good one which Muslims always find difficult to answer.

    In which society today is Islam practised the best?

    Which is more evil, a person who commits an evil act or the entity which created evil in the first place? Doesn't Allah therefore deserve the eternal fire more than any human?

    Considering heaven is eternity in heaven with an entity that burns people in fire forever, is heaven truly heaven or merely the absence of hell?

    If somebody was never exposed to [insert religion here] but has knowledge only of other (supposedly false) religions, would he get punished in the afterlife for not believing in [insert religion here]?
    • If yes: how is it just or merciful, since such person did not have any idea about the message of [insert religion here] in the first place?
    • If no: would somebody get punished in the afterlife after being exposed to the message of [insert religion here] and not accepting it?
      • If yes: do you realize that spreading [insert religion here] would actually increase the number of people punished in the afterlife? (since, according to you, keeping them ignorant would grant them 100% certain immunity from punishment, while letting them know the message of [insert religion here] gives them a chance of getting punished if they disagree with it)
      • If no: good job, your religion is tolerant and merciful <3

    If somebody dies as a very young baby before he/she has the chance to grow up and understand the message of [insert religion here], will he/she be punished in the afterlife?
    • If yes: how is it just or merciful, since that baby did not have any idea about the message of [insert religion here] in the first place?
    • If no: is it a good thing if a little kid dies before he has the chance to grow up in a culture where [insert religion here] is virtually non-existent?

    If in Islam exists a doctrine of abrogation, does that mean that there is the possibility that the (current) "final messenger" might be superseded, in the future, by yet another new prophet, in case Allah had decided so?

    If a holy text were hard to understand, is it just to blame the unbeliever in case he fails to recognize the truth in such difficult message?

    If a holy text were easy to understand, what is the purpose of scholars?

    And, on top of that, how could a non-scholar know who is a scholar and who is not?
    If he had enough knowledge to tell the interpretation of a true scholar from the interpretation of a false scholar, wouldn't he automatically have enough knowledge to understand the true interpretation of the holy text by himself?

    I think according to islam, all kids who die before puberty will go to heaven.

    Yeah,children who die before puberty will go directly to heaven and become angels.That's what mullahs say,well if Allah needs angels,why does he kill babies to turn them into angels when he can create anything out of nothing ? Why does he need angels to begin with ? Monotheistic religions are disguised polytheism.

    Do you guys have questions about the supposed scientific facts in the quran? I know a lot of them are hit or misses. But everytime i mention a "wrong fact" they say its just for the poetic reference. Then they mention right "facts" and im like they knew that at the time. Then they respond with no no no they were unedecuated...blah blah blah
    I wish parents everywhere could remove their veil of religion and see their kids for whom they actually are.

    There are plenty in science and reason section. You can also read Islame's  blog that has a good list of material.
    The biggest one is about embryology. But it would be a long discussion, because they would try to come back with bullshit debunked versions of it.
