The exact meaning of Jihad is to Struggle for some cause. It can be for education, to eliminate poverty and self defence etc. Now west and their alleys have started unfair war against muslims. So it is the right of muslims to fight back and defend themself. In Arabic , they will be called Jihadis.

This is common practice that non muslims always criticizing Islam without any knowledge and most of times they use very bad language and then they call themselves a civilized people. You will not find any muslim who uses bad words about any religion and islam teaches us to respect for all religions and their worship places. But non muslims are vice versa.

Can you prove to me now, in an intellectual and well educated manner, how the world was created by this "God" you believe so much in, without using ANY Bible quotes or "Just look around" statements and give me that proof to the point that there is absolutely no denying that answer is 100% beyond reproach and can't be disproved in any way whatsoever and is deeply seeded and rooted in academics and is not only fact but can be studied under a microscope and proved by examination using the highest forms of scrutiny?

What makes millions of people believe that we are living in the end times? There have been wars before, and the middle east has been a hot bed of violence for some time now. There have probably always been "false prophets" (or there have been, and are, none.) So what could possibly give so many people the impression that the end of all creation is upon us?

The concept of hell makes no sense whatsoever, and I can prove it.

God in general (many different beliefs):
If there is such a thing as God, and he created something, why the hell punish it for doing what he created it to do in the first place?

The Christian God:
The Christian God is a God of love, and since he is God, all powerfull. He does not "Have" to let people burn in hell for all eturnity, and allowing them to is simply a cruel, and loveless act.

Hell is only a trick used to convert people to a belief, by manipulating their fear.

First of all, I've never seen a unicorn, although I have seen drawings of them. My question is can anyone prove they don't exist anywhere in the universe. How do you know they're not hiding behind some distant star?

Furthermore, do you know for a fact that of all the billions of people who live on the earth or who have at some time in the past that not a single one (not one) has ever seen a unicorn?

I am a being, created with the ability to use intelligence, I have been given the faculties to question and examine evidence, yet for some reason this faculty is inferior to blind faith? How can I know what I shouldnt question?

There are numerous belief systems in the world, they seem mostly to be in conflict or at the very least mutually exclusive. They cant ALL be right, & if I choose the wrong one I am evil. How can I know which to choose? Is it purely upbringing that decides this? Is it fair to judge it?

People from belief systems seem to believe in an 'objective good'. Firstly, how is there any basis for this outside of their own dogma & their own inclination of what they feel is right? Very few people do evil deliberately, most feel they are doing the right thing but 'the majority' define them as evil. Is this a basis for deciding good/evil?

I feel abandoned in the world by a creator, with no clear help or guidance to get things 'right'. How is it my fault if I dont?
