The same flawed question arises in this thread:
What did Allah mean by allowing children to die?
What did Allah mean by allowing disease and hunger..?
Thanks for confirming the Qur'an got it right about the disbelievers. One shouldn't even be a theist to understand that, if one is not omniscient, one can't question The omniscient.
All that Qur'an says is that it is a blasphemy to think, and to question Qur'an.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
