I'd beg to differ with you regarding my knowledge level. Unlike most Muslims, I actually have read both the Quran and the Bible. Knowledge is good. In fact, in the early days of Islam, knowledge was a good thing. Somewhere between then and now, Muslims were instructed to stop learning. The Quran has everything you need. I think you know that it doesn't. For example, the Quran cannot teach you to perform surgery, or how to create antibiotics. Both of these things are well loved and appreciated by many people worldwide. Religious books don't teach us much. Simple rules like being nice and not stealing, or killing people were well established before Islam (even before Christianity). So, while I appreciate your invitation to talk about this, I must respectfully decline. Saladin,

Keep this one, bro. I’d say reading the Bible or Qur’aan is the surest path towards atheism. After a critical study of our “holy” book, I was stupefied by how humanlike Allaah was. And between Muhammad and Allaah, there is an uncanny resemblance in personality. Hmmmm! ;O) Salaam Nimbu. Sorry about the repeated comment, but it’s my first try. Keep this one, bro.

I'm pretty sure you won't object to being part of a blogroll that identifies you as an apostate, but I thought you should know. Let me know if you wish to be removed.
