Well obviously Allah is as made up as all the other gods. I think the arguments against Allah are even easier than those against the Christian God. I'm just curious if the argument from evil even applies. I remember hearing a Christian saying they didn't believe in Allah because he is a Tyrant. Does that actually fit the way the universe is better?
Not claiming omnibenevolence or omnipotence appears to me to answer the problem of evil, insofar that such a deity would not be incompatible with the existence if evil. However, such a deity still fails the classic Epicurean paradox and would be unworthy of worship.
