Its a difficult question to answer why one leaves a way of life from birth. All humans are given a brain to think and make logical deductions; some use it; most don't use it. Some humans follow a rational path to enlightenment by questioning the human condition and ask why we are here on this earth. Some come to the conclusion that humans have evolved and we are only here for our lifetime. Others believe that there is a higher purpose and we are on this earth to prove oursleves and what better way than serving humanity, by being kind, doing good deeds and living a virtuous life.Then there are humans who never question anything, but follow blindly what has been said to them, they are so brainwashed that their individual thought patterns are mute. They never dare question any of it.

Violence for any sake should be abhorred by all. Whether one believes in a God or not, one should avoid doing anything evil. When one studies Islam and reads the quran and the hadiths one comes to the conclusion that it condones evil acts like killing unbelievers and the so forth. The man called prophet Mohammed did not live a clean virtuous life, when compared say, to Jesus or Buddha. As we all know Mohamed lusted after a 6 year old child, the daughter of his friend and he did plunder, kill & rape captive women also terrorised anyone who stood in his way, so he cannot be a good or holy person, let alone being a prophet sent down by God. His followers are doing the same evil things.
