I was just wondering, a supremely powerful God, why would it need you to do its' bidding for it? Wouldn't it have everything playing out to a grand master plan?

Do you think he would want you to go around killing and punishing 'his' enemies? Doesn't he get them back in the afterlife anyway? Or is Islam less pure than we are led to believe?

If the Islamic version was the right one, why would they be permitted to lie about their religion? Why would conversions be necessary? Don't the righteous find their own way? Why are people who leave the religion allowed to be punished by the living?

And then I hear about the satanic verses, where Mohammed admits he was influenced by satan, yet Muslims still consider him to be perfect and God's prophet. Jesus admitted that satan tried to tempt him, yet he rejected satan. So they are similar, in the sense they both encountered satan, yet one of them refused to allow satan to give him anything and resisted evil.

I mean, if you really want to take something, deemed as evil, down, wouldn't you need to get inside it to see just how bad it was before you could conclude it was bad, and then take it down from the inside? We all know an outsiders perspective is warped, which is why I am asking questions about Islam. I suppose that could be doing God's work, if you knew in your heart something was evil and had to be destroyed, but just looking at something from the outside, with no idea of its inner workings, how do you know you are getting the full story? What kind of group would want you going around destroying anything that opposes it and either removing it or bringing it under subjugation when it doesn't know what it is fighting? It's uninformed, just like all the non-Muslims on this site (allegedly).

What do the Muslims think? Anyone else too.

Well if the devil is a fallen angel, then quite clearly this angel would have had access to God as some point, therefore attempting to tempt God would be plausible.

Eg, you can tell me the sky is green, and try and convince me of it, yet I know it's not true. You can tempt me with lies and untruths but I can easily say no and see straight through your futile, pointless argument.

So the satanic verses were never a part of the Qu'ran and never ever existed?

That's right. Rushdie just thought it was a good way to get discovered.

Much the same as Ayaan Hisri Ali.
No disrespect to her, the woman has had a HARD life - but none of her struggles are due to Islam.

To answer the question 'could Islam be evil?" I must say no.
It is the one uncorrupted way of life, with no contradictions. Allah [swt] wishes the best for mankind and nothing happens but by His will.

Do you mean that Allah willed the Satan?

That means that it isn't inconceivable that Mohamed was deceived by Satan in the guise of Gab but later real Gab corrected him.

That is very conceivable and makes Koran Satanic book as well.

Islamic historians and that is where Rushdie differs from them
