first of all we are not particularly proud of being ex-muslims. personally I feel ashamed of ever having being a muslim. secondly islam is a political cult, hence the question of seperating religion and politics in the islamic context does not arise. if you think this is a propaganda site, don't come here, you were not invited. If you want to stop brainwashing and hatred tell that to the 1.3 billion muslims who wish to kill us and the rest of humanity. Leave islam is you wish to stop this ugly genocide done by muslims. In the end, if you are still a muslim, then shame on you.

To the brainwashing fellow. I feel so amused when muslims talk like you do. I mean muslims are responsible for 95% of terrorism in this world and then you talk of brainwashing,lol. We don't force our beliefs on people like you muslims. we just pass on accurate information, if you dont trust us, you can consult various resources to check out the truth. I somehow feel that you are playing a very deceptive and dirty game. SO please keep your taqqiyya to yourself and don't bother to come back if you don't have the capacity to undertand or realise the truth which is ISLAM IS FALSE.

Comment

Doesn´t the many contradiction mean that the authors of the quran drew from different sources, such as bible, talmud, apokryphals and oral traditions? There must be more than one source and one author. Meccan and Medinan sura have little in common, and there are some sura like 18 The Cave who are very unique in a way that they are obviously of christian origin.
