Blind Quran Believers

Submitted by Don (India), Oct 26, 2005 at 04:13

Dear Nuray
Thanks for your replies.

YOU SAID
You should have written "All Muslims" not "some Muslims". All Muslims believe that Quran is unique

Well you are wrong. There are many Muslims, who doubt the vaidity of Quran. Blindly defending Quran for the fear of roasting in hell is not only yours but many Muslims trait.
I will give you a very good example. Salman Rushdie (of the Satanic Verses fame). Have you heard of him? i'm sure you did. He is an intellingent writer who has found the Quran to be undivine. Taslima Nasreen can be another good example.
There are many Muslims who leave Islam but are afraid to make it public, incase an insane houri- virign hungry Muslim comes and blows them to pieces. In Islam, before leaving your religion you have to take care even from your own father. He might be the first one to take your life to please Allah.
You said "We Muslims don't worry about it's protection or corruption"....do you also mean its "phyiscal protection and blessing?" ..because recently i heard American soldiers in Guantanmo were charged of flushing the "holy" Quran down a toilet. It might be a rumour or fact.
You said "Only Allah decides who will be one of his genuine believers. If Allah will, one can find the true path" ...well you are right, even if you want to be good, if Allah dosenot want it, you cannot be good. This is what your Quran says

Qur'an 5:41 "Whomever Allah wants to deceive you cannot help. Allah does not want them to know the truth because he intends to disgrace them and then torture them"
Why would Allah won't want his creatures to know the truth? what a prejudice is this? Just because Allah wants to disgrace them he covers the truth from them?

Qur'an 40:32 "O my People! I fear a Day when there will be mutual wailing. No one shall defend you against Allah. Any whom Allah causes to err, there is no guide. That is how Allah leads the skeptic astray"
Why does Allah send his creatures purposely astray and then he delights in roasting them in Hell?. Why Allah causes people to err? Then in that case those people who are astry is not their fault..Allah purposely made them to err..
It is this and many kind of verses that don't make a little bit of sense. I can understand why you are adamant. Who knows, may be Allah has made you not to see the truth purposely so that he can burn you in hell.
You said "That's why there is no need to any give credit to the claims of non-Islamic websites...Why do you suggest other websites? Do you mean that you couldn't convince me but some others can do it better than you?"
Who is asking for your credit? those websites don't need your credit. I'm suggesting other websites to you make you see the other way as there are many things i can't post in this colomn and to open up your adamant emotionally charged belief of Islam. Whether you are convinced or not is not my concern.
In my previous posts i have shown that Christianity is not racist and it is your prophet and your religion which is racist. I have invited you to show me any racist utterances in Jesus Christ.
Awaiting your reply.
Best wishes,
Don.
