Yes Moderate Muslim, think and think again.

If Muslims have free choice (what about kafirs?) and Allah already knows what they will choose how can you call it free choice? If you come to a fork in a pathway can you go down the branch not foreseen by Allah? Your claim amounts to saying that Allah knows even before you are born your life path and time line. If so why does he go to the trouble of letting Muslims blunder about in the world. He may as well consign them to hell or heaven staright away without bothering to uselessly keep an account of what they do on earth. That would be the smart thing to do. Moderate Muslim what is the purpose of creation?
