Frequently aksed Questions
Islam is not a monolithic religion. There are other versions of Islam. Not all Muslims are fanatics. There are many Muslims who are liberals, who believe in human rights and equality of gender. You cannot condemn all the Muslims.
The Islam I am opposing is the Islam of Muhammad and what he taught in Quran. I am not concerned about other versions of Islam.
Islam cannot be changed. You only can...
You seem to think that Violence and killing of non-believers are unique to Islam but fail to point out that Judaism, the forerunner to both Christianity and Islam, had similar commandments too.
I agree that the Bible recounts of terrible acts of violence committed by Moses and Joshua and most religions have violence in their annals. All religions the cause disunity and they are the source of...
Is it right to be disrespectful towards any religion that we don’t believe in and spit on the image of their founders?
We do not disrespect Islam, we state the facts. If we call Muhammad a thief, a pedophile, a rapist or a mass murderer, it is because he did all these things. If you are offended by the truth it is your problem.
Beliefs are not people. There is a difference between being...
If Islam is bad what religion should people follow?
I am not promoting any religion. I suggest we turn to reason and rational thinking. I recommend what Buddha recommended: “Doubt everything. Find your own light”.
In the words of Krishnamurti, ‘Truth is a pathless land’. Man cannot come to it through any organization, through any creed, through any dogma, priest or ritual, not through any...
Doesn’t Islam have also good parts? Why focus only on the negative parts of Islam?
In every religion, there is good, bad and ugly.
The good part is what is preached, the inner peace and the afterlife that it promises.
The bad part is the hidden agenda of their founders, who were generally narcissists that wanted to control others.
The ugly part is the outcome and the disastrous toll that...
Aren’t all religions equally absurd? Why focus only on Islam?
The very concept of God sending messengers so he can be known and worshipped is absurd. One should not blindly believe in those pretending to bring a message from an invisible god that only they can see.
I believe in a higher Reality and a Single Principle underlying the creation, but not in an egotistic self-centered petulant deity...
What about the great minds of Islamic world, like Zakaria Razi, Ibn Sina, Ibn Rushd, Khayyam, Ibn Arabbi, Al Muari and many more? Shouldn’t we thank Islam for rearing these luminaries?
We should thank Islam for rearing Khomeini, Bin Laden, Umar and Ali. They killed people inspired by Islam. The thinkers of Islamic world were almost all apostates. Ibn Sina did not believe in the immortality of...
Islam is an old religion. Some of its teachings may not applicable today. But Islam was and still is a great religion with a billion of believers. Islam played an important part in human civilization.
The greatness of a belief is not determined by the number of its adherents but by its coherence and its inherent truths, its usefulness and practicability. There was a time that everyone believed...

17- Why do you only talk about Islam? What about Christianity and Judaism that are as illogical as Islam?
The reason I focus mostly on Islam is because Christianity and Judaism are criticized already by many scholars born within Judaic and Christendoms.
Furthermore my fight is not against faith but against hate. I have no issue with religions that do not preach hate....
Question:15
What do you know that billions of human beings have missed out for thousands of years until this very moment?
I know what Galileo knew when he challenged the faith of billions of people who believed for thousands of years that the Earth was at the center of the universe. I know what Darwin knew when he defied the common belief of billions of people that...
Question:14
Human logic is fallible. It is not a reliable mean to know God.
Yes human logic is fallible, but that is the only means we have to find the truth. What is perfect in this world or in us? Are our eyes perfect? No. There are animals that have a better vision than us? Is our hearing perfect? Is our sense of smell perfect? There is nothing perfect in us...
Question:13
Who are we to really know who or what God is?
You start from the assumption that there is a god who is so great that we are not supposed to question him. I think differently. I say let us doubt. Let us doubt in everything that we are told and accepted as true. Let us doubt even the existence of God. No one has seen God. What we know of God is...
Question:12
Why are you against God?
People believe in myriad of things. There are those who believe in sacred cows, others believe in snakes, a number of people believe in voodoo, some believe in resurrection of Jesus and yet others in Muhammad splitting the moon. Whether these beliefs are based on facts or fantasies they are no one’s business. As long as these...
Question:11
God in my view is invisible, incomprehensible, inaccessible, a pure essence, which cannot be described. You attempt to describe the indescribable and explain the unexplainable. You are the creation of God; your attempt to understand God is like Mona Lisa trying to understand Da Vinci. No matter how intelligent you may be you cannot understand your creator.
You...
Question:10
What you write are all facts and true. Like what the present Jews say "The only good Arab is the Dead Arab"
Yes what I write is true, but I do not foment hate against people. I love all humanity and make no distinction between Arabs, Jews, blacks or whites and I don't think this is what the present Jews say.
The reason I fight Islam is because it is a...

8. Was Muhammad really a midget in mental might or a Goliath for some of his sayings appear to be pearls of great price. For the sake of brevity I will refrain from quoting but I commend you to "The Sayings of Muhammad" collated originally by Allama Sir Abdullah Al-Mamun Al-Suhrawardy and now reissued by Citadel Press. What is your take on this?
Please quote those “pearls...
3. Is it possible that such acts were performed in an age or dispensation when they were considered acceptable and the norm, but now they are viewed as vile?
The brutalities committed by Muhammad were despicable even in his own time. We have reports about great men who lived much earlier than Muhammad, who are still considered to be torches of guidance. Buddha,...
Some Answered Questions
By Ali Sina
Dear Dr. Ali,
Forgive me sir, for sending this post directly to you. I realize that you are extremely busy and may not have time to respond. However, I was shocked and mortified to read the seeming derogatory statements of Muhammad being a psychopath criminal even worse than Adolf Hitler. I wanted to take you on, to prove you wrong, so I...
Scheuer believes that we must begin to take some brutal initiatives such as leveling cities, destroying countrysides, using landmines, and mass killings before giving in to some of their demands (withdraw support for Israel).
Who the hell is this man? He is nuts. First of all the above is oxymoronic. Withdrawing support from Israel means capitulation. What would the...
6. Could the Middle East conflict escalate into another World War? Bin Laden is drawing Muslims from every social strata. We are making Muslims angry. We are not making any progress. We cannot even "eradicate Islam" as you wish because we have lost all credibility in the eyes of Muslims. Scheuer believes that we must begin to take some brutal initiatives such as levling cities,...
4. Do you really believe George Bush could solve the problem of terrorism? Scheuer says that the invasion of Iraq is the "Christmas present he had hoped for but never expected to get." Bush appears to be running our economy into the ground and making no progress.
No I do not think Bush can solve the problem of terrorism only by combating it militarily. He/we have to wage this...
