Are you delusional? Muhammad, peace be upon him, was not a pedophile. Back then people lived shorter lives and girls would reach puberty at lower ages (due to the harsh environments their parents lived in), so it was perfectly okay to marry them. Muhammad was engaged to his wife Aisha at age 6 with her consent, but they lived in separate houses until she reached the age of puberty. Therefore he is not a pedophile, since a pedophile is someone who has sex with pre-pubescent children. Arabs are not jealous of Jews. That is extremely racist. Islam is a peaceful religion. Where did you read that Muslims should kill non Muslims in the Qur’an? You are lying. The Qur’an says in Chapter 2 verse 256 “There is no compulsion in religion…” and in Surah Al kaffirun “To you your religion and to me mine.” Now if you want to look for intolerance, I would suggest that you look in the Bible in which God orders the Canaanites to be killed, for example. As for the Jews, we are told in the Qur’an that they are Ahl al Kitab, blessed with previous Scriptures and Prophets of God. We are told that God favored them above any other peoples of their time. Read the Qur’an for yourself.

Salaam Alaykum.

God is not a physical being. It would be illogical to assume so. To say that God is a physical being would mean that God has a form and exists inside the universe, meaning the Creator is in his own Creation/ the Creation was created by a Creation. God is not a physical being, but we believe in him, just like numbers, emotions, etc. are not physical but we know they exist. As long as we obey God, do good deeds, and worship him, nothing prevents God from rewarding us.

The best book about Islam for non Muslims I can think of is “No god but God” by Islamic scholar Reza Aslan. He writes an objective account about Muhammad’s life, about how Islam developed as a religion, about Islamic empires, about the effects of colonization, and about the Middle East today.

Which history books may I ask? Muhammad, peace be upon him, was stoned, persecuted, almost assasinated by the Makkans for almost 13 years. When God finally revealed to him a verse to allow him to protect himself, he went and fought. He made sure not to fight them until they fought him. Second of all, Muhammad, peace be upon him, was invited to Madinah to resolve a dispute between the pagan and Jewish tribes of the city. He drafted a new Constitution, in which his followers (Muslims), the Jews of Madinah, and the pagans of Madinah would protect each other. I don’t know what you’re going on about. I would suggest you read “No god but God” by Islamic Scholar and Middle East political commentator Reza Aslan, instead of reading some fundie Christian sites.

Wow Lee nahas!!!! I can only but laugh at you… Unbelievable the hate you actually have in you, You are reading the quraan wrong and its leading you to believe what you do and say. I thought the hate for religion would be over and each individual would learn to love and accet the others religion, I am muslim and believe me and many others out there. What you have put down shows your ignorance in learning the next persons religion. I appreciate all religions but follow one maybe you should try the same.

Olinka I am sure you can vouch as a revert that no one forced you into Islam it was a personal choice. In my view if you look and understand Islam it is a way of life with guidelines of a healthy living same as other religions

You are following a made up religion of a pedophile and violent man, Arabs have been jealous of Jews since Isaac and Ishmael,, but the God of the universe and maker of heaven and earth has determined that Israel is His land and He will give it to his chosen the Jews,,,we as mortals can accept his way or not because he gave us free will.(meaning the right to love and serve him HIS WAY or not) you are serving out of emotions and feelings and both are very deceptive and Islam is not a peaceful religion,, I read it in the Koran if others won’t convert to Islam then muslims should kill them!!!

you have a valid point and i would probably agree with it, but dont go around slagging of other religions, epecially three of the world’s major ones. People are free to belive whatever they want. i think the flying spaghetti monster it testimony to that

I have recently taken my shahada and I’m feling very at peace with a lot of things I have believed that islam is the best way of life for over 20 years I have just never felt worthy of embracing allah as my ways r not good . But I feel that to avoid the most peacefull way of life , I Was guilty of running from my real way of life , I am not a perfect practising muslim and I do not preach tothers , however the way is islam and the world has recognised this , which I think is y people r afraid of change but the change is inevetable as it has been proven islam is a peacefull way of life and a respectfull way of living . So I for example have felt the benifit of following islam although my journey is a long one I will achieve the way of life

NEWS FLASH: The Creator of the Universe, the Master of All doesn’t condone warriors to go kill people, while plundering their belongings! This ancient traditional acceptance in the modern era is stupid and a little embarrassing. When will humanity truely seek the one and only true God? Instead of following ancient pagan writings from thousands of years ago? Islam is false, Christianity is false, Judiasm is false, but God is real WAKE UP seek God not in books written by humanity for the purpose of humanity!!
