explain urself...give me evidence...
but before that..please read the story below:

A man went to a barber shop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed.
As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation.
They talked about so many things and various subjects, when they eventually touched on the subject of ALLAH.
The barber said, "I don't believe that ALLah exist."
"Why do you say that?" asked the customer.
"Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that ALLAH doesn't exist. Tell me, If ALLAh exist, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned childrens? If ALLAH existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I couln't imagine a loving ALLAH who would allow all these things."
The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument.
The barber finished his Job and the customer left the shop.
Just after he left the barber shop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkempt.
The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber,
"You know what? Barbers do not exist."
"How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber. "I am here, and I am a barber. And i just worked on you!"
"No!" The customer exclaimed. "Barber don't exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside."
"Ah.. But barbers do exist! That's what happens when people do not come to me."
"Exactly!" Affirmed the customer."That's the point! ALLAH, too, does exist! That's what happens when people do not go to Him and don't look to Him for help. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."...

I don't.

I don't know anything about Islam, accept that it's the third largest and fastest growing religion in the world, so I have no opinion.

A barber is expected to count his money after trimming and cutting, Allah is expected to see through if the helped people get to home, wash their feet and tell stories about himself and others to his children. Some might say this is not the way of Allah, so there is your proof. There is Allah, and others who will seek to safety and general opinion upon their activities. So there is too the general idea of his features and make. You too know about this.
Islam is the requisite of virtuosity in general actions and displays involved into the life of Allah and that of his courtious prophet Mahommed. Some say they are normal people under different conditions and vindictions of story. The story you tell is a regular joke on those who will trust this religion or antic known to so many has any seriousness into it, to profound demeanor and esteem from all people. You have provided much needed mood to this discussion. We shall see to truth as well. Bye.

This story should be used in a much more wider term of GOD exist rather than telling Allah..
(Prophet) Mohammad was a politician and a military leader. He created a political party called Islam in order to unify the entire world. His aims were conquest. That is the only reason you could explain Jihad. As a matter of fact I would say Islam is the only faith which justify Killings. I have soo many Islam friends and I have healthy discussion with them. They are very progressive and they look at only the good side of islam. Not the killings.
Lemme ask a few questions.
1) Why woman are treated inferior in Islam
2) Why Mecca is sacred?...
3) Why non-Muslims are not creations of god?.
4) How Mohammad can claim that he is the last prophet?..
5) Why Quran cannot be translated in other languages?,
6) Why Islam contries denounce their local culture and kiss the culture of Mohammad's tribe.
The questions can be endless. this is not a misinterpretation but things which Prophet Mohammed taught.

Note: Allah is the name of one of those multi God's Arabians used to follow. Incidentally he was a second grade GOD. But he was the god og Mohammad's tribe. So he made him the only god. Why he couldn't just call him GOD?. or a generic term that his tribal god's name.

The story doesn't makes sense because barbers aren't omnipotent omniscient and all powerful and they didn't create the universe like Allah is supposed to have.

Sorry I have no interest in your story!

I do not like Islam!
I do not like any monotheistic religion!!

Reason?

1. For thousands of years these groups have used the idea of their God to kill anyone that didn't think as they do!

2. The use of torture has always been a big part of what these people do to those that do not think as they do!

3. People use the idea of their God being a brutal sadistic bastard as justification for their brutal sadistic behavior!

4. NONE OF THEM WANT TO ACCEPT RESPONCIBILITY FOR ANYTHING!! It's all the work of some non existant God / Allah!!

If this question was posed, but never answered or even attempted to be answer, would it exist? You are basing your whole religion on the fact that a man is poor and can't get a haircut. So now, I'm basing my answer on the fact that if I didn't answer, your question would not exist. It works both ways, these religious fallacies. You cannot argue logic in a world where 1+1 = 2 (aka OUR world) and trying to force your fascist religious views on us only makes us hate you more. Perhaps this question would be better answered in the "RELIGION AND SPIRITUALITY" section. Yep, that's right, a whole section for these kinds of questions, instead of wasting our time.
And based on your theory, because I answered this question, it exists. But if I turn my back to this question, it will not. So this question ONLY exists to those who answered it, right? But you are the question-er, and if this question was not answered, YOU wouldn't exist, right? So am I creating you? Therefore, I am God? You need to re-evaluate your whole religion situation, because brother, YOU ARE LOST.

Logically speaking, an excellent little story but let's not forget that all stories, good and/or bad ones, have been written by humans and so have the old and the new testaments as well as the Koran; all three of which have their roots in the ancient Hellenic mythology as well as the mythologies of the then advanced Mediterranean civilizations.

That's how I see it.

Nice story! :)

Actually Allah is not a second rate God.
Christians in that area of the world also refer to God as Allah. Its Arabic for God.

Maybe religion would be less of a problem int he world if it didn't have to constantly defend itself.....if it was just left alone to be what it is.

A whimsical story, but that is all it is.
There are plenty that go the other way as well.
It doesn't mean that if everybody went to God, then they would be billionaires.
I like this one.
"Sometimes I believe their is a God, Sometime I think their isn't one. Either way, the thought is staggering."

Ok the story was clever. However I do not think that God or Allah or what ever name you want to use put us here on earth to play hide and seek with him. Nor do I think that it has anything to do with him, its all about our lessons, our choosing. God or Allah have no lessons to learn, that would be our job.
