Questions to Muslims

This is a small selection of the many more questions posted by ex-Muslims on the Council of Ex-Muslims internet forum. For more info and discussion visit:

The Questions mentioned in the video:

Does God's stated purpose of creating man so they worship him seem worthy of an immensely intelligent and all-powerful being?

If God is self-sufficient, and does nothing in vain, isn't creation the height of vanity?

If creation is for our benefit, then what is the benefit to those who will burn forever?

What's the point of God's test when he knows the outcome? Is it just so he can have a reason to punishment & reward?

Can a being who creates humans he knows will fail his test and will be tortured without end, be called The Most Merciful of those who show Mercy?

If God wanted us to freely choose to worship him - then why threaten us?   Does someone with a gun to his head really have free choice?

Why does God cause so much suffering to humans? Is it part of God's test to prompt them to turn to him in obedience and worship? Isn't that like a con-man who causes a problem then offers to fix it for you?

Why would God give humans the ability to reason - then punish them for rejecting beliefs reason cannot reconcile?

Why does the human body look suspiciously like it was the result of a long cumulative process of evolution resulting in imperfections and vestigial organs and genes - and not the result of the instant and perfectly planned creation of Adam and Eve?

Which is more evil, the imperfect creature who commits evil or the perfect entity which created evil?

Is being good because you fear God, really being good?

Why did God send all known prophets, miracles and books to one area of the world and at a time when people were superstitious and gullible?

Why did God only protect the Qur'an from corruption? Couldn't he have protected the Bible and prevented billions claiming he has a son?

What was so special about prophet Jesus that God made him born to a virgin? Took him up to heaven before he was crucified? And is going to bring him back again before the day of judgment?

Do you believe it's acceptable for a husband to hit a rebellious wife?

Why do so many characteristics of Allah like anger and vengefulness seem like human ones?

Why does the Qur'an say don't ask questions about things, when the answer would trouble you. Should followers of other religions also not ask questions about their religion when it might trouble them?

Why will God never forgive Shirk? What are they really guilty of? Ignorance? Being born to the wrong family?

The quran criticizes idolaters for following the religion of their parents. Are you any different?

You believe other people are following false, corrupted or unfounded beliefs? Are you certain you're not also?

@MrMasomenos ok, you're not Pakistani...and ...?? lol

You have nothing to say here. Your boastful babble and Islamic arrogance is pretty much all you have, and it makes you look plain stupid. I'm sure you are not, but Islam has this effect on it's victims. In the end, there is no way to defend this shameful excuse for religion.

You're not Pakistani...I become emotional... ....?

That's it...and alhumdilla mashallah you really showed the filthy kuffar this time...

@Devilish96Angel If you truly believe your own words "A man should not touch his woman in an abusive way no matter what period".... then you should probably consider abandoning Islam. Obviously, be careful!

@Devilish96Angel Bullshit, you are either a liar or an idiot. Old mohammed himself took women, girls realy as slaves and used them for sex-he raped them. Your need to gloss over that might satisfy yourself but it is still true. The afghan consitution following Ja'fari school of fiqh says rape cannot happen in marriage. That is just a small example, they are all over the place. Believers always say others are wrong or uneducated, but when you look the muslim is always wrong/lying

[Painterly51]

@Devilish96Angel You are posing absurd questions of degree -- and who is the judge of what is or is not "violent" during the act?! Do you truly believe it's OK to beat a woman as long as it doesn't bruise or kill? It's so comforting to know a woman "has the right to file a complaint for abuse or even ask for a divorce" -- the very acts that often spur even more violence! Is it POSSIBLE for Muslims to reject parts of the Quran that are obviously so very wrong?

[Devilish96Angel]

@Painterly51 It's their right to "strike back in self defense", but they'd have a weak chance, won't they?

A man should not touch his woman in an abusive way no matter what period

That's my opinion.

[Painterly51]

@Devilish96Angel I agree. What do you suppose happens to Muslimahs who strike back in "self defense"? 

[Devilish96Angel]

@Painterly51 I only approve of SOME hitting when it comes to self defense.

[Devilish96Angel]

@Painterly51 In Islam, for me, men/husbands do not rule. There are also verses and hadith's that mention how great a woman is, by the way. When a man hits his woman, she has the right to file a complaint for abuse or even ask for a divorce. Just because that verse said you can beat your woman if she doesn't listen to you, doesn't mean you can hit her violently to the point of bruising her or killing her.

[Painterly51]

@Devilish96Angel HEY! It SHOULD be forbidden to hit ANYONE at ANYTIME with ANY FORCE! Even to spank or smack lightly is a humiliation! Or are you willing to approve SOME hitting?

[Devilish96Angel]

@Painterly51 I think, I can sense the problem here... What I believe in, is different than what you've read/saw/researched about...

Muhammed was literate, how would he read the Quran if he wasn't?
