      An ex-Muslim from Afghanistan? That’s like finding a unicorn in the Pashtun Taliban territory! It’s almost like the Taliban’s efforts to drag people back to the 7th century are just inspiring more people to sprint away from Islam faster than Mohammed could chase after his adopted son’s wife! I mean, while they’re busy banning women’s education and dreaming of flying donkeys, you’ve got people opening books and leaving behind the desert fairy tales. Makes you wonder, how long before they start banning thinking altogether?

    Adam, I’ve got to say, your critiques of Islam are absolutely brilliant. The way you break down the Quran and expose the actions of Mohammed with such logic and clarity-it’s refreshing and eye-opening. It’s clear you approach things not just with knowledge, but with fairness and a sharp mind, and that’s rare these days. English might be your second language, but the strength of your arguments and your insights come through loud and clear. Keep doing what you’re doing-your work is making a real impact, and it’s appreciated more than you know!

    Hello Adam Elmasri,
    I'm a Muslim from Indonesia who is searching for the truth among fanatics. I often encounter arguments about scientific miracles (i'jaz ilmi) in the Qur'an from friends, especially regarding embryology. My research has led me to two perspectives: either the Qur'an, as Allah's word, is free of scientific errors, or it contains statements that don't align with modern science. I'm unsure which view to accept, as I personally have doubts about i'jaz ilmi claims. Could you share your thoughts on this? Thank you for your time and insights. And, if the Qur'an completely contains things that are not in accordance with science that the apologists say, I will leave Islam.
    Warm regards from Indonesia❤

    Adam Al-Masry is an atheist from a Christian background with Christian parents. He specializes in theology and studied it at one of the best universities in the world. He lives in the Western world with a Christian majority and speaks English. Despite all this, he speaks little about Christianity and is more critical of Islam. It is clear that you have lost your credibility and previous neutrality.

      He comes from a Muslim-majority country in which he was perceived as a second-class citizen. His Christian parents didn't reject him after leaving Christianity. The Christian majority country in which he lives is also a country that welcomes immigrants from all religions . So why would he devote more time to Christianity while there are millions of ex Christians in the West who have already done the job of weakening Christianity and revealing its flaws? Islam , on the other hand, hasn't faced the same criticism and critical voices face death, prison and social alienation. Furthermore, he devoted several videos in Arabic to Christianity but you don't acknowledge them because you believe in a conspiracy theory that states that Islam is under attack and all of its critics are biased islamophobes.

      @sarakunb621 3 місяці тому +3

      Is this sarcasm or serious? For anyone who thinks this is serious, please consider: In Arabic wajada means found, as in literally found. The same word is used after to refer to finding a group of people. There is no evidence that the word ever meant "appears" instead of physically find. Can you find one example of this word being used to mean "appear" other than this alleged one? It is in ENGLISH where the word "found" can mean physically find or appears. If you speak another language you can see that the word physically find is different than appears to.

    Thank you for delving into this. It'd be Really good if the Line were to be introduced to this nonsense. I know some of the guys over there know some of it, but why the hadiths happened because they wanted to preserve the idea that it was never modified. Written by other people than the manchild that was the "prophet" that literally chastised a kid because he was afraid to be confronted by someone whom could see through his lies. That kid went on and lived a life of hell because people praised muhammed for enslaving, endoctrinating, fornicating and manipulating everyone as he took the bible's every stories and adapted it with the help of people he was threatening just like would any despot of our time. Odds are, as opposed to Jesus that could be made-up entirely (more than likely if you were to ask me the probabilities and how far fetched the statements are /completely irrelevant because we know that the books are man-made) he was yet another man that was afraid and wanted control/power or whatever it was called at that time (this is important...
