“O you who believe, do not ask about things which, if they were made known to you, would trouble you….A people before you asked, and then became unbelievers.” (Qur’an 5:101-2)
“Taliban prohibits religious debates in media,” South Asia Terrorism Portal (SATP), September 21, 2024 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
On September 20, in an issued statement Taliban prohibited religious scholars from engaging in public debates and discussions deemed “inappropriate,” warning against organizing such debates in the media, reports Amu TV. In this statement, Taliban outlined new guidelines for scholars, emphasizing the need to prevent “disputes and superstitions.” The decree specifically prohibits “controversial discussions” that could lead to public debates, which the Taliban claims sow discord. “Those scholars who provoke divisions, promote superstitions and continue to use improper language in public forums and media are misleading the people and seeking fame,” the statement reads….

The woke West has “settled Science”, the Taliban has “settled religion”.
They both mean the same thing: dogma implies a ‘zip your lip’ policy. It’s decided! Shut up!

the fallibility and inconstancies of Islam would cause thinking people to leave the religion/cult, the death penalty and ostracism make them obedient slaves

Hmmm. There must be one or two intelligent “scholars” in Afghanistan that I didn’t think existed otherwise why have this new rule? I thought the extent of “scholarship” was on the junior high school level and consisted of yelling ” Allah Akbar” as you rush an infidel with a knife in your hand and “Death to Israel”

An unbeliever, according to the holey quran, is a person who listens to his conscience and refuse to do something that doesn’t align with his values and principles. This is islam. PERIOD.

Topics for islamic scholars to debate…
#1 allah’s amazing lack of omniscience
“allah is the knower of ALL things” koran 2:29.Discuss.
Is allah really the knower of ALL things?Is that true?
look at all the errors in the holey koran..what do you conclude?That is provably FALSE.
NO.allah is clearly NOT the knower of ALL things
You think allah {“the best of deceivers”}might just be a HUMAN impersonator of the Biblical/Torah God given that all the errors in the koran can only come from a HUMAN source as they show a human misunderstanding of Things?Me too.I mean i am not a scholar but how hard is it to figure it out?
Don’t you have to be omniscient to be God?And allah proves he’s not..

The whole problem with the koran’s teachings is that they are completely at odds with the laws of Moses given in the Torah{2 chief commandments and the Exodus 20 “ten”}Yet allah CONFIRMS the Torah koran 3:3
How did allah MISS the Laws of Moses then?
To classify non-muslims as “the worst of created beings” koran 98:6 means the Golden Rule cannot exist in islam.This is also why slavery still exists in the islamic world.
To insist that muslims must not be friends with Jews and Christians koran 5:51 violates the 2nd Chief comandment.It is aso contrary to human nature.. and ridiculous.
Any muslim who follows allah’s{unwitting!}advice in koran 10:94{pickthall} and checks the Torah will see that the koran VIOLATES all the Laws given to Moses.
allah claims he gave the “scripture” to Musa{the muslim version of Moses} in koran 2:87 but that scripture cannot be the Real Torah as the laws of Moses would have .to be in islam!They are not.
I suggest muslims check the sources but AWAY from holy men..
The laws of Moses were written down for all posterity in the Torah.They cannot be changed.
The koran is teaching CONTRARY to the Law given to Moses.

Democracy and theocracy: two methods of governance. Each is incompatible with and antithetical to the other.
As you know, the USA is governed as a representative democracy.
Islam is a totalitarian theocracy.
That is the real “whole problem”–in the U.S.–with Islam’s teachings.
abu taleb says
The same as the Indonesian Islam cleric council (MUI) who advised that muslims should not engage in Islamic debate or discussion on the internet for fear that the muslims would sway away from Islam which means no more daqwah to the infidels through the internet.
Why? Because the infidels actually had more knowledge about Islam than the muslims so the infidels could crush the muslims thus could lead an avalanche of conversion.
Better meet in peson, where the muslims can depend on violence to silence any Islamic critics.
