I was Muslim and all my family still is, I was on my way to become an Imam when I was younger the more I read the more I distrust Islam. That's not a path I want to take,. He is a good sales man like most Imams are.,(reply>), @Vax works 4 BIG PHARMA  I am a Muslim. But I am open minded. I do agree with you that a lot of Muslim people are not open minded. But a lot of Non - Muslim peoples are not open minded. So your view of the ideology is to make people believe or kill them. And also it's a imperialism idea. I didn't kill anyone and also I don't live democratic country. I don't find that I am doing something that Islam told me to do. And you also think that Allah should forgive even if you kill millions of people. Why is that ? Where is the rights of these peoples ? Why should Allah allow you to do any kind of sins. Your own study and ideas are not open minded.,(reply>), @Shamsur Sagor Islam is an Imperialistic ideology, It is not design to guide people to be the best they can be, and become God like human beings, It is design to make obedience followers to dominate the world, by force or otherwise. When I study Islam, I start with the life of it so called prophet and study its book,  And there are so many red flags in both to mention them here.  You can study them yourself, But if you are Muslim , Don't waste your time and mine. Muslims are not open minded people and they are not open to discussion and criticism, they get emotional and offended and violent very quickly which is sign of weakness in their ideology. If you are confident about your believes you don't need to kill people who disagree or cant understand your believes. If there is a God who created us with freedom to choose and he is patient with our stupidities and all the evil thing we do and he doesn't kill us even if we kill millions, who are you to decide who has to live or die just because of their believe system?  If Allah is so angry and need Muslims help, to kill as many people as possible, then I don't like that kind of God and I am not going to pretend I am obedient to such an evil God,  I rather find a real God who created me with potentials of being good or evil and he is not quick to punish me for every mistake I make. That's a God I have respect for and look up to and try to be like him as much as possible. Mohammad took his own step son to war and as always he sent them to the front to die while he stayed back, and in same night he slept with his own step son wife, If you are a Muslim, you will find a way to excuse him and justify his actions, But is you are interested to learn. You wont buy those justifications.,(reply>), What problems do you have with the teachings of Islam ?
