Muslims, can you answer these questions? (part 2) Answer as many as you can. Are they good questions?

was the classification of hadeeth as sahih (authentic) and daeef (weak) authorized by Allah or by men?
# Would you trust a political party which doesn’t let ex-members speak out? if not, why would you trust Islam when you know sharia does to apostates?
# Why does the Quran not specify whether you can recite Quran prayers in your native language? did Allah forget only a fraction of humans speaks arabic?
# Is it possible to open a random page in the Quran and NOT find a verse of violence in there?
# Since according to muslims, literary excellence supposedly proves divine inspiration, was Shakespeare divinely inspired too?
# Since muslims say nobody can produce a single chapter similar to the Quran, whats so unique or extraordinary about chapter 109?
# Didn’t Uthman order different versions of the Quran to be destroyed? so how do you know the Quran we have today is legitimate?
# Why do muslims need to resort to a variety of hoaxes and photoshopped pictures to prove Allah is real?
# Is there a good reason for choosing monotheism over polytheism, agnosticism, atheism, henotheism, pantheism or deism?
# Do you think its okay that Muhammad beheaded a WHOLE tribe (banu qurayza) as if they were all guilty? is it okay even kids with traces of pubic hair were killed?
# Why does Allah keep changing his mind on whether alcohol is legal or not in the Quran?
# Why can’t muslims (specifically sunnis-shias) agree on shahadah, 1st pillar of islam? – can’t Allah make it clear?
# If Islam is an Abrahamic religion, then why did it’s predecessors NOT need additional hadith besides the main scripture while islam does ?
# Since many of Muhammad’s own family members didn’t believe him, why should we?
# Why couldn’t Mohamed convince his own town Mecca and had to convince people from another town, Medina? Didn’t Meccans know him better?
# Why did Allah send down a revelation which allows Mohamed to have as many wives as he wants, while earlier allowing only 4 wives for each Muslim?
# If early Muslims were being persecuted, aren’t Muslims doing the exact same thing today to Baha’is?
# Why does Allah care whether i sleep on my stomach or not?
# Did you remember to use an odd number of toilet paper or stones last time you were defecating as Allah recommended?
# Did you know that 1 of Allahs 99 names translates as the Deceiver or imposter? Why believe any such deity?
# When Allah fooled Christians to think Jesus was on the cross, was Allah being a Deceiver?
# Why did Allah wait 600 years to tell Christians Jesus didn’t really die on the cross?
# if the Quran and hadith is so jampacked with science (as muslims claim) why didn’t the owners of these scriptures invent computers, tv’s, spaceships, helicopters, ipods, satellites, birth control pill, moon landing, vaccination for smallpox, telephone, radio, television, light bulb, microchip, cd, playstation, refrigerator, microwave, stainless steel, plastic, x-rays, polio-vaccine, anti-biotic, heart-transplants, DNA studies etc. ?
# Since nearly half of the sharia and fiqh laws are based on abu Hurairah and bukhari why dont you call these 2 men gentlemen Prpohets?
# Did Adam n Eve have a navel?
# Why is it that every year muslims on opposite sides of Earth can’t agree when ramadan starts? Did Allah think Earth was flat?
# Why does the Quran only speak about religions which were prevalent in Arabia at the time of its revelation?
# Instead of simply saying ‘Jesus didn’t get resurrected’, why didn’t Allah PROVE that Jesus didn’t get resurrected to avoid 2 billion mislead Christians?

Why are you atheistic scientist trying to play God?

I just got through reading a book called Aids the end of civilization. The author exposed the monkey bite theory along with all the flaws in it. Aids was created by the Soviet Union they put it in small pox vaccines and gave it to Africa. Their objective was to kill of the black race. Their is numerous amounts of evidence for it this guy is a doctor and he is white and he knows the Truth.

You have scientist trying to warp the honey producing gene in bees into humans.

You have scientist trying to warp the venom producing gene in snakes into humans.

It is Absolutely crazy what these atheist scientist are trying to do. They even engineered a certain disease they effects all races but, primarily effects the Negroid race. Their is a certain Emyzine in the Negrio-d human and this disease directly effects this emyzine and destroyes the body .

Who is ahead of this ????? He is an athiest scientist I forgot his name and the book is in the car but, he is trying to do some crazy stuff.

The soviets are experts biological warfare this shitt is no science fiction. They are trying to warp the DNA of fruits and humans. Things that were never intended to happen ………

Loook up Aids the end of civilization read that book a
Aids was orginally given to Africans. Is it any surprise that the Soivet Union has the lowest aids rate ? Yet Aids devolped in Africa and effected America before it did the Soivet Union.
Aids was first foudn in the urbanized parts of Africa not the city parts.
