Islam does not love you. "Allah" does not exist. "Mohammed" loved power and sexual conquest, more than any human being. And, you will eventually become free of this tyrannical, dishonest, mysognistic, abusive cult.

if someone wishes to know about Islam, he should listen the reverts comments on Islam. they are in thousands.

[@charlievaughan1308]

I am an agnostic. I am Irish and was brought up Catholic. I do not follow any religion now. I believe all religions promote irrational. You say that the best way to learn Islam is from reverts who are in their thousands. I strongly disagree. The best way to learn about Islam is from those leaving Islam who are in their thousands. The same applies to Catholicism.

[@themsmloveswar3985]

The best way to learn about Islam, is to watch the Apostate Prophet. He describes everything in an accurate manner.

Oh, Dear Christ worshipers! Oh, Christ worshipers! We want an answer to our question from your wise. If the Lord was murdered by some people’s act…what sort of god is this? We wonder! Was He pleased by what they did to Him? If yes, blessed be they..they achieved the pleasure of His But if He was discontented….this means their power subjugated His!! Was the whole entity left without a Sustainer… so who answered the prayers? Were the heavens vacated…when He laid under the ground somewheres? Were all the worlds left without a God…to manage while His hands were nailed? Why did not the angles help Him when they heard him while he wailed? How could the rods stand to bear the True Lord when He was fastened How could the iron reach Him and His body pinioned? How could His enemies’ hands reach Him and slap His rear And was Christ revived by himself…or the Reviver was another god? What a sight it is!A grave that enclosed a god! What’s more weird is the belly that had Him in it! He stayed there for nine months in utter darkness…fed by blood! Then he got out of the womb as a small baby, weak and gaping to be breastfed! He ate and drank, and did what that naturally resulted in Is this a god??!! High Exalted be Allah above the lies of Christians All of them will be held accountable for their libels Oh cross worshipers…for what reason is it exalted and blamed who rejects it? Is it not the logic to break and burn it along with the one who innovated it? Since the Lord was crucified on it…and his hands were fastened to it? That is really a cursed cross to carry…so discard it Don’t kiss it! The Lord was abused on it…and you adore it? So you are one of His enemies!! If you extol it because it carried the Lord of the worlds why don’t you prostrate yourself and worship graves, since the grave contained your god in it? So, Christ worshiper, open your eyes, this is what the matter is all about. -Ibn Qayyim
