Many apologists for Islam claim that Allahu Akbar simply means "God is great!." Sure, this phrase has become associated with the "radical" (fundamental) Muslims who shout it while they are engaged in "Jihad" - usually the murder of non-Muslims. Peaceful Muslims also use this phrase, but state...
In 4 places in the Quran (that I am aware of) Allah admits outright that he is the "best deceiver":
A lot of Muslims tend to counter this by appealing to the context of the verse, saying "Oh Allah only deceives the non-Muslims" - but this is irrelevant because we have a (supposedly)...

The Quran was (allegedly) revealed by Muhammad over a span of 23 years in response to situations that were occurring in his own life.
Abrogation was introduced as the "answer" when Muhammad's detractors were pointing out that his "revelations" were contradicting each other (ie. the earlier is...
Hi everyone,
I'm new here (obviously). I'm an Atheist (ex-Christian) from Australia, but don't worry! I'm only here to (mainly) discuss Islam! I have never been a Muslm but I have spent 3 years studying the texts (Quran, tafseer & ahadith).
Please feel free to call me Sani (for short hehe)
