Islam is the most beautiful because the morals, virtues it exemplifies even secular students of morals and ethics admit it as the standard of morality in humans life.
I ask all atheists here to
1. worship only Allah.
2. Live with peace, kindness, respect of others
3. Don't attack anybody first, only use self defense as the Quran states
4. Give to the poor and orphans
5. Ask me any questions regarding Islam
It's the true path and when you are on it your life will improve mentally and possibly materialistically as well
It seems illogical to me that an all powerful creator of a universe would communicate with all man kind through an Arabic book.
Also the books texts look very much like they were just made up by Muhammad, it's filled with local concerns. Some of the concerns in the quran are talking about an uncle who Muhammad didn't like definitely going to hell.
It's like if a man called George came to me and said "Right I've got a book straight from god addressing the entire world" Then I read a chapter and it says "Georges uncle who used to throw rocks at George is going right to hell, those rocks that he used to throw will be chained around his neck". And the book was written in Georges dialect using localized idioms I would assume it wasn't from god and the book was from George.
The quran does talk a lot about fighting but the verses I suppose can be interpreted as only being in defense, in actual circumstances of war I don't know how well these verses would hold up, if I did become a Muslim I also wonder which Muslim group do I begin fighting for? There's a lot of Muslims fighting and being fought out there, which ones do I begin to defend? What about the Muslim groups who are fighting each other?
There's nothing about an uncle going to hell of Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him and his family.
