What makes you think Islam is a false religion?

[Smoke]

I used the term 'false', in reference to those who do not believe that Mohamed was a messenger from God or that the Quran is the word of God. In other words, reject Islam and claim it is untrue.

Why would you reject Islam?

Islam, like all dogmatic religions, makes claims that seem very unlikely to be true and for which there is no evidence. The question is not, Why would you reject Islam? but Why should I believe such unlikely things?

I don't believe in Islam for the same reason I don't believe in Christianity, Scientology, phrenology, or seances.

 

[Sententia]

1.There is no God.
2. There is no evidence that Allah is God, or Mohamed a prophet.

Like all theists, all of your arguments are circular, special pleading or both. That is, they're all fallacies. For example, "There is no point to falsely claim prophecy." O.K., so everyone who claims prophecy is telling the truth? Well, obviously not, so this argument is pure special pleading.

This is pretty succinct to me and speaks volumes. When you understand why you reject all other religions you will understand why I reject yours as well.

I think that the Islam belief has some good underlying attributes associated with it's message. I just believe the central truth is represented through Christ Jesus, God's Only Begotten Son. Muhhamed and Christ are not on the same level and that's the fatal flaw associated with the Muslim belief. It's not even close. I don't buy into the premise that 600-700 years later, God all of sudden selects Muhhamed to be the chosen one to bring His message to the world, especially with it being in direct contrast to the first century message of Christ and the gift of eternal life given as a result of His life, death and ressurection.

Allah answers every prayer and every call but because you cannot undestand it even when it is infront of you that doesn't mean Allah isn't there, because he is. Allah knows which is best for us and thus he does not answer everyones question. if you go to a doctor and you get prescribed a specific medicine why would you take it?? because the doctor knows best just as Allah knows best about whats right for its creations.

This is religious nonsense. I could make the very same claim about Mickey Mouse. Watch:

Mickey Mouse answers every prayer and every call but because you cannot undestand it even when it is in front of you that doesn't mean Mickey isn't there because he is. Mickey knows which is best for us and thus he does not answer everyones question. If you go to a doctor and you get prescribed a specific medicine, why would you take it? Because the doctor knows best just as the Mouse knows best about what's right for His creations.

I sense some conflict in your statement there. Allah answers every prayer and call, but he doesn't answer every question?

Anyhow, my point was in response to Right_Path's question, in which he implied that if Muhammad had just made up th Quran and called it God's word, that God would have corrected it. Apparently, he takes God's silence as proof that the Quran is correct, but there are many explanations for this that don't imply that the Quran is the faithful word of God.

Also, if God does go around correcting people when they falsely declare their own works to be the word of God, what should we make of the fact that God doesn't do this for any religious scriptures at all? Are all other religions just as valid in the eyes of God as Islam?

if you go to a doctor and you get prescribed a specific medicine why would you take it?? because the doctor knows best just as Allah knows best about whats right for its creations.

Except that's not the situation. Using your analogy, we have a document that you and other non-doctors is a prescription suitable for me... you want me to place faith in you, not in any doctor.
