Mr. Saeed writes:

"Amil:You are a non-Muslim, and you have confirmed my suspecions from day 1.You should NOT be arguing with a Muslim against his own religion."

Yes Amil - you should listen to Mr. Saeed . He was suspicious of you from day 1.
You should NOT be arguing with a Muslim against his own religion. Haven't you learnt by now that the idea is to shut up and don't ask questions? What has happened to your blind , unquestioning obedience? Who told you that you could think for yourself?

"O ye who believe! Ask not questions about things which if made plain to you, may cause you trouble. Some people before you did ask such questions, and on that account lost their faith." (Surah 5:101-102).

"The Holy Prophet himself forbade people to ask questions ...so do not try to probe into such things." (The Meaning of the Qur'an, Maududi, vol. III, pgs. 76-77)

"The prophet was asked about things which he did not like, and when the questioner insisted, the Prophet got angry. (vol. 1, no. 92) The Prophet got angry and his cheeks or his face became red. (vol. 1, no. 91) "Allah has hated you...[for] asking too many questions." (vol. 2, no. 555; and vol. 3, no. 591, Bukhari's Hadith commenting on Muhammad's reaction to hostile questioners.)
