Hell does not exist. Also, I think it is very harsh of you to state "you are going to be tortured forever (and you deserve it)" just because somebody disagrees with you. Threatening people with "hell" is just going to be ridiculed, especially on a forum promoting atheism.
I believe that the genuine, great religious teachers (not the charlatans) — who were attempting to make sense of their mystical experiences — were ultimately experiencing the same panentheistic transcendent entity, what I perceive as God. All of the major world religious teachings are human inventions, and I firmly believe they're all false. God is not a Christian, a Muslim, a Buddhist or a Jew.
May I ask how long you have been a Muslim? If you were heavily indoctrinated by your parents (or parent), then I can understand your strong position of faith in the Qur'an. The reality is, however, is that the Qur'an, like The Bible, is a BOOK, nothing more. All holy books were written by human beings, using human language and are no more historically valid than any work of fiction.
