what would be the point then? we would have no free choice...He wants us to choose to have faith. faith is, by definition, meaningless if He makes himself explicitly clear. think about it.

We are caste into Hell. Life then is a journey on a path of many routes to him. Some attain it, others are tempted away by disillusionment, trolls, lack of guidance.
God is an absolute truth. All reason, Logic and rationale are he. He is Peace and HE is Love.
Life Love God. The pursuit of these three states of paradisal bliss and contenment are something to be gained, attained and achieved. Each is a journey fraught with fear, insecurity, ignorance. To attain the end goal one must overcome the aforementioned major hurdles and other lesser but equally deterring obstacles.
Muslims are defending their motherland and desire to convert the entire world to one God, Religion, Discipline.
America is on the offensive and desires to rule the entire world with its media democracy and anti culture.
Yes two opposing extremes invariably have much in common.
Both are successding. May the noble peaceful and humane always triumph.
Be Loved.

The Old Testament tells many times to Seek, but doesn`t actually promise that you will find. So it would apear that the God wants the humans to chase around in a vain attempt to find God, with no promises attatched. The Muslims on the other hand do have promises attatched, that make them far more cautious of their God.
As you say many Muslims are brainwashed in the same maner that the Catholics use. This on its own is not so bad, as when it is corrupted, to be used as a tool in the political power game, as is seen with the suicide bombers, Who are actually way out of line with the Q-uran. These Muslims have not done their own seeking but have infact just taken the lies of another..!!

The Exsistence of God is Clear and Evident all around us all you have to do is look around you
Even Look at your own body's Miraclous (Can't Spell Right Now LOL) ability to heal itself when its hurt yes sometimes it needs a little help but not all the time
Look at for example the sun and the moon and the stars all in perfect balance and alignment the sun rises and sets
Depending on where you live have you ever had the opportunity to lie on the grass and just look at the moon and the stars in the night sky I have it's an incredible sight
That's just Me though

I believe that he has made his existence perfectly clear.The non-existence of God cannot be proven. One cannot prove a universal negative. Alternatively, the existence of God is provable.
The concept, design, and intricate details of our world necessitate an intelligent designer.
Both direct and indirect evidence for God’s existence are well known and well documented. Nothing in history is better known or better documented than the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We even use the year of His birth as the basis for our calendar. He perfectly matched the over 100 unique Messianic prophecies in the Old Testament regarding His birth, life, death, and resurrection. The laws of probability cannot give us a reasonable explanation for either the Messianic predictions or the resurrection, let alone both by the same person.
Jesus’ miracles were witnessed by many and were documented redundantly for additional corroboration. He was seen by at least 500 people after His resurrection. He was seen ascending into heaven. His transfiguration was seen by Peter, James, and John. His wisdom in dealing with many circumstances was astounding. He never promoted Himself or His miracles. C. S. Lewis stated that He couldn’t have just been a good teacher. He was either a liar, lunatic, or Lord. He didn’t even come close to meeting the profile of a liar or lunatic, so He had to be God.
Jesus Christ also supported the truth of the Old Testament and quoted it many times. Consequently, with Jesus Christ, we have an eyewitness to the truth of the Old Testament. This gives credibility to the creation account and God’s interaction with man. The entire Old Testament account is about how God is trying to have a relationship with man while man is separating himself from God by sin. It tells how God is long-suffering and merciful and ultimately how God sent His Son to die for our sins so God could ultimately have a relationship with us.
God’s interaction with man in the Old Testament was often and powerful. Some of the main interactions included Adam, Cain, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Jacob, Moses, Joshua, the Israelites, the prophets, and the kings. In addition to Jesus’ testimony to the truth of the Old Testament, ancient manuscripts, archaeology, and internal consistency also testify to its truth. Consequently, much direct evidence including eyewitness accounts and indirect evidence corroborate the existence of God and the truth of the Bible.

Its actually a mercy because if it was clear as you want it to be then , we would have to belief or face the fire. Without a second chance. This way you still have time to consider and change your mind.
The greats signs of God/Allah are his Prophets (upon them all peace). They all came forward with miracles in order to prove their claims; you can see this with every Prophet who performed miracles with Gods/Allah permission.
In fact Muslims believe that when mankind was created then God/Allah raised up all of mankind and asked, "Am i not your Lord?" They all said, "Yes, We testify." This is a proof against us all.
So its up to you. For me at least I want to be in heaven and I believe in God/Allah. I don't want to be like those who reject God because they rejected paradise. There is an afterlife and it begins when we die.

God/YHWH/Allah, Subhanna wa Ta'ala makes His existence known to all who are willing to seek the same.
Look at the cosmos. It moves like "clockwork", every part working with all other parts with a precision that man does not even fully understand let alone is able to create.
Look at your own body, the individual cells, and functions of your body, the wonders of the human brain.
Look to see how all that exist is sustained.
However, those who refuse to see such, who refuse to seek God/YHWH/Allah, Subhanna wa Ta'ala, will never realize nor admit his existence because they have chosen not to. Even should God/YHWH/Allah, Subhanna wa Ta'ala, send a messenger with angels, those who have chosen not to believe would still find a "reason" to doubt.
Your bias towards a religion that you probably know little if anything about except what you have seen on the "nightly news" (a distorted and misinformed view at best) is clearly obvious.
Bigotry and ignorance seldom promote understanding. Only education and experience will cure that ill.
In Islam, there is no compulsion in religion. One and each is free to make the personal choice to believe or to deny. such is repeatedly expressed in the Holy Qur'an.
Life is choice. We each have the opportunity to make choices that will be beneficial to ourselves and others or to make choices that will not serve ourselves nor others.
Make wise choices.

you don't have the intelectual capability to understand the concepts and the logic behind it.. cos u choose to ignore it u were raised to believe in things that u see in your own eyes, u depend on your sight. scentifically speaking, if you apporach a car in the middle ofdesert , you wouldn't assume that nobody made the car , u know that the car has to go through manufacturing process. apply this logic to the world we live in , the sun , the moon, the stars, the planets, the whole system, how did they came into existen? u cant say nobody invented it? cos every invention is made by an inventor , this inventor is the God that deserves to be worshipped.

Do you wake up in the morning and see the sun shining?
Feel the crisp morning air on your face
listen to the birdsong and watch the sunset on the Horizon.
All this is evidence that God exists and his love for us is in his creation. When we feel the suns rays and cool ourselves with a breeze...
Hebrews 11v1 Faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld.

God has made it clear, you just need to look. the bible says in John 3:16, For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Just ask God to show you and he will. God is not losing the game, we are.
