This is a believer's argument that can appeal only to fellow believers. Idris Pacas is a muslim so he thinks this is a good write up.

This defence of Islam contains the usual simplistic arguments and analogies. There are so many illogicalities being paraded here as argument.

If you ask me what I would do to a man who rapes my wife and I say that I will kill him, then that justifies A GOD COMMANDING others to kill people who rape others? So now God is behaving like the way a human being should behave?

Comparing God to the maker of a car who provides the manual - the holy quran???? OMG! What kind of argument is that?

The fact is clearly that the Quran was relevant in a certain time at a certain place. But followers of Islam want to tell us that the Quran is relevant at ALL times and in ALL places. So they are trying hard to explain quranic injunctions for different times. It is a futile exercise. Times have changed but Islamists think the Quran cannot change.

But some of us believe the Quran is going to change too. That is the only way it can still be of some relevance. In the very distant future, people will hang on only to certain moral precepts taught by the Quran but will put aside many other of its outrageous practices. It is already happening. Many muslims don't think it is ok to cut off a thief's hand. It is not ok to put a person to death no matter what that person does because a holy book says so. Many Muslims no longer believe there will be virgin maidens waiting for the righteous when they die. That promise/enticer is no longer needed to goad us on to good behaviour. We must behave morally for its own sake, not because we are afraid of punishment or we want some reward from the hereafter. MORALITY DOES NOT NEED TO BE PINNED DOWN TO A GOD WHO DISPENSES JUSTICE.

People will no longer be led blindly by a holy book whose interpretation they cannot even agree upon.

In the end, people will come to see that God, Bible, Quran etc. are all just artefacts of human beings. There is nothing beyond that.

The above rationalizations of patently stupid religious concepts once again reveal the generally constricted scope of religious thinking.
For example, the author foolishly approves of the cutting of hands for theft with the sole purpose of reducing the crime of theft, conveniently forgetting the panoply of social and economic consequences appertaining to a country where all thieves are also amputees...
Likewise, he fails to note that human freedom should be viewed from the standpoint of the individual to whom that freedom belongs. A woman's body belongs to a woman, and what she wears cannot be prescribed to assuage the libido of men. Let a woman decide whatever she wants to wear, and punish those who cannot control their orgiastic appetite. That is civilization as opposed to savagery....
My problem with Paa Nii's articles is that they fail to state the obvious: that all institutionalized religions put an iron gate on reason and logic, and make all persons imbeciles!

You have just forgotten of the economic and social cost of keeping thieves in a prison.Do you know how much it takes to keep convicted thieves in prison by the state, when in reality they could have been economically viable for the state by avoiding theft or robbery? Indeed,you were quick to mention human freedom but failed to admit that it has an end,otherwise a thief or an armed robber should not be imprisoned at all when found guilty as per your analyses.Does freedom mean going after what does not belong to you?In terms of what women can choose to wear or not to wear, you have just set double standards because,you can punish 'those who cannot control their orgiastic appetite' but cannot cut the hands of those who commit thievery and robbery?What is civilization and who qualifies to set standards for civilization?Is it the human being or the one who created the human being.Take the example of a car maker and the user of the car.Who is more qualified to come out with a manual for a car?Is it the user or the maker?God made the human being and He is the best to set the standards for civilization but not what you think as the human standards for civilization OK?

If we have to live by god's rules, then what rules from what god are we going to use to govern ourselves with? The god of al-queda of the arab world, the lord resistance of Uganda, the god of budha, jews, hindus, mormons or the Nubian god? Who will be the ordained one with the authority to enforce the rules? Religion is personal and must remain as such. No one should be allowed to be a judge for any god. The teachings of the bible, Koran, torah and all the so called holy books must not be forced on anybody. Each and every one of us is responsible for his or her own actions before god on the judgment day, any one who preaches otherwise is a hypocrite and a confused soul!!!!

An atheist, muslim, Christian, jew and other believers can co exist in a peaceful atmosphere if religious laws are left inside the mosque, church, shrine or the synagogue and obey the traditional, civil and customary laws set forth by the society in a secular manner. Enforcing the teachings of Koran, the bible or any other so called holy book on a people in a society by self ordained holy men of god is contrary to human decency and freedom to reason. A moslem can leave his religion and join any religion of his or her choice without being killed simply because an illiterate mullah has issued a fatwa for him or her to be killed. No society should allow such backwardness and madness from any so called holy book to triumph common sense and absolute freedom to reason!!!!

So before the Introduction of Christianity and Islam in the West Coast,were there no wars in Africa here?Were there no inter-tribal Wars?Were there no wars of tribal supremacy among Africans?So your argument that there would be peaceful co-existence when we stick to traditional, civil and customary laws set forth by the society in a secular manner has never held water in the past and would not hold water in the future either.Are Ukranians fighting because of any Religous misunderstanding?So where is the so called secular laws to ensure that there is peaceful co-existence? What is secularism and who qualifies to set standards for secularism.If the quran cannot be source for setting rules for society,is it a human being or civil and customary laws you must aim to follow? You asked in your earlier reply that which God's rules ought to be enforced.The Only God,The One who is independent,He begets not,nor is He begotten,He is non-comparable.He creates but HE IS UNCREATED.If commonsense was that common,the entire human kind should aim to practise Islam.The one and only Creator only guides those who have common sense and I wish that you be guided.May He guide you too,Ameen

Are you talking about the god that discourages polygamy? The one that allows reasonable alcohol consumption or the one that teaches us to forgive our enemies and leave the judgment for him? Are we talking about the god the blesses marriages between 80 year olds and poor 8 year old girls from the slums of India and Egypt as fourth and fifth wives? Or are we talking about the one that okays honour killings, suicide bombing and kidnaping of young girls or the one that rewards murderers with virgin girls in paradise? The interpretation of god's law can be dangerous and often backward if it is left in the hands of the self ordained mortals to enforce on others!!!!!

My friend you've not answered the dudes question and please do not try to convert him- he has no misconceptions about Islam-and so many questions and points have been raised in the comments area of the first article which has not been answered by your so called Muslims Scholars and the rejoinder is even worse than the first;why is it that other religions do not resort to violence apart from Islam/Muslims. Between Our Lord Jesus Christ and Prophet Muhammed tell me/us whose lifestyle is worthy of emulation-the Lord that preaches and teaches Peace and Hope for mankind or the Prophet that preached/thought violence?

Bullshit of nonsense. "Islam is the best religion" Islam my foot! A bloody and primitive religion that has no place in this century. A religion of hypocrisy.Come down here and see thier men at the beach watching women in Bikini, but have prevented their sisters and wives to stay indoor. A violent religion that has no place in a civilized society. No amount of rattling can change what the whole world know about that Islam. The world would be a better place without it. A fake religion!

What the Koran or the Bible says are specific commands to individual believers. In all the holy books, it has been clearly stated that no one has the right to judge. Therefore it is very backward and ironic to see many moslem countries led by backward mullahs who arrogate to themselves the power to judge others based on sharia. Let each person be responsible for his or her salvation. Blasphemy laws and all the laws in all the holy books must not be used as tools for backward men to oppress anybody. Leave the judgment day to God, Allah or whatever damn name you prefer to use. It is very simple indeed. To hell with all the self righteous so called prophets and mullahs!!!!

It does not matter how many published articles or teaching tablets there might be from the Prophet Mohammed. What we have is history that bare out both Christians and Muslims by what they say and do. There are evils done and continue to be done in the name of Christianity around the world and there is evil done in the name of the Muslim faith. For example it is hard to understand how Muslims can label Christian nations as evil, perverse etc and yet when Muslim men and women migrate to those Christian nation, Muslim men find no hindrances from the Koran that prevents them from assimilation, partaking in the perverse culture even fornication with women of those Christian nations while they “protect” the Muslim women by denying them assimilation right and the freedoms the men enjoy. There can be no teacher of religion that can be this hypocritical and expect its male membership to know anything about honor or principles. To the extent that humans have the ability to draw moral equivalencies or distinctions between Muslims and Christianity or undertake relative comparative analysis between evil deeds done on both sides, there is no denying that Muslims cannot blame anyone for what is the truth about a religion that for the past 40 or so can justify the use of any means to kill and wound anyone they see as deserving to live and or because of being non Muslims. What is it about Prophet Mohammed and his teachings that created so much schism in the understanding and or interpretation of the Koran as to see honor in the horrific death of innocent people even as they look forwards to their seventy virgins in heaven? What is it that allows parents to kill sons and or daughters for marrying people of other faiths? What is it that allows anyone to see any sense of humanity in the subjugation of women so men can roam free and take any woman they want even against their will because man is the law?
As I stated earlier, Christians have had their share of evil done in the name of Christ but no Muslim can use any teachings or lessons learned or deduced from Prophet Mohammed teachings to justify events that have been going on in even Muslim nations and lately in North eastern Nigeria. It is instinctively natural to defend the Muslim faith but it is imperative for people of goodwill in the Muslim faith to admit the unwarranted and barbaric destruction done minds body and souls in the name of a supposed peaceful religion day after day.

What you tried to do is to judge the religion of God by the fallibility of human being.Islam came to perfect man because Islam is perfect in every sense of the word.To attain this perfection is entirely dependent on the efforts the human being makes,as he/she has been given the will to choose to be perfect or not.Unlike angels,who have no choice but to follow every commandment of Allah,the human being has a choice.So whatever evil you see around the world is from the human being but not from Allah's religion.

Just about a week ago in Pakistan an Islamic woman was stoned to death outside a court for refusing to marry a man she doesn't love; and this from Sudan of a married Christian woman to a Christian man sentenced to death(presently in prison)for refusing to convert to Islam-just because the father is of Islamic faith married to a Christian woman, the sad part is this woman is nursing a 4 month baby and another daughter of about 2-3 years old; how can you justify this and say Islam is the best and true religion, you'll do anything to justify it yet deep in your hearts you know that it is spiritually and morally wrong YES,RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE INDEED! God have mercy on all of us, I believe each and every one of us is entitled to practice his or her faith without force or hindrance, my salvation is between me and God!
