1.Why did God not create one single perfect religion? (Why there r so many religions? Why there r so many sects within every religion?) 2.Why did he not instil that one perfect religion into man's make-up together with the rest of his characteristics? 3.If it was his will that man should follow any particular religion or worship him,why did he not make belief in God/religion/worship as natural as say breathing? (U see a newborn baby breathes. U breathe in sleep automatically-U dont have to teach a newborn baby to breathe-Religion/God/Worship r taught by parents. Even an atheist breathes). 4.Why does he send so many Prophets and scriptures to confuse the mankind? Is this not a very inefficient way instead of efficiently instilling the perfect religion in man's make-up and amke it as natural as breathing? (Coz scriptures r interpreted differently by different people.-cAN U DENY THAT there r different interpretations of Vedas and Quarn or that there r different sects in Islam and Hinduism )? 5.If he wanted man to worship him, why r there atheists? (Why he could not program their mind to believe in God? Why could he not make worship as natural as breathing?)

Ur Qs correctly point to the fact that things religious and related to god are all born out of man's imagination.This is why so many religion and sects spread geographically originated in history.Everything religious is gisted in its religious books and it all teaches a correct way of life which people at that time considered correct.This is my view of things religious.As far as believing in the existance of god comes it tough for me logically to believe it.
Unfortunately today greedy people are using religion as a tool for self profit and pain to others.Its high time people rise above religion,caste, creed and consider "insaaniyat" as the supreme religion.

Dear Anand, no religious leader/zealot will ever answer your qustion. The so-called holy books are products of surrealistic creative thinking of visionaries. In this age of science and technology, they have ceased to be of any real use to the mankind. The sooner we all realize this truth, the better for the whole world and its inhabitants.

"It is some people who give a wrong interpretation of the Koran to exploit the women". Fine let us accept this for argument sake.
Muslims claim that: 1. Quran is revealed by Almighty God himself; and 2.It is perfect book.
Almighty God is perfect. Is he not? Then why he did not use such words in Quran that nobody can wrongly interpret it?
Whose interpretation is correct interpretation-who is to decide?
Since as Vice President of All India Muslim Personal Law Board Syed Kalb-e-Sadiq admits that Quran is interpreted wrongly-i.e. any book can be interpreted wrongly-my question remains.
Why Lord Almighty gets into this messy revealation and book business when he could make belief in perfect religion as natural as breathing?

I've received a message from a member saying that Mukto-Mona site is banned/blocked in Emirates and probably in other Islamic countries as well. Indeed, many living in theocratic states who were never habituated with free-speech are being shocked after they are exposed to the truth for the first time while internet came into play. Our co-moderator Jahed Ahmed thinks United Arab Emirate's (UAE) ban on M-M should be brought to focus for a broader audience and readers; hence this short message for you.
Banning a site like MM in those theocratic states is the old way of killing the rationalists and freethinkers, burning their books and silencing progressive people by terror so that they cannot work. Despite the desperate effort of the vested group, they still cannot stop people from reading our posts. Obviously, this site is making a difference. If your friend is living in a theocratic states, and you may want to send something published in MM, please copy the entire article(s) in an e-mail instead of giving him a specific link, till we find any other viable solution(s).
Truth is extremely dangerous for some people; it is like lighting a match in total darkness that needless to say, does not remove duskiness, rather instill fear in their heart. That's why probably Oliver Wendell Holmes, one of the best regarded American poets of the 19th century once uttered, "The mind of a bigot is lik

Dear Avijit. THIS IS GOOD NEWS. NOW THAT IDELOGY WHICH IS BEHIND THE BAN IS HEADING FOR A COLLAPSE.
Now the more they ban, more people will want freedom and revolt against the idelogy. How far can u keep someone away from truth and knowledge??

It is non debatable truth that women were created for men and men are physically stronger. To save women from stronger men it is mandatory that a women wears her dress and this dress is defined as "Burqa" in ISLAM. A women who refuses to wear her dress in public has a very crude name in our society. If one feels that quran was written by a man for his own benefit then i challenge all women of this earth to replicate the similarity of quran and write another book for their own benefit.

Haha .... Mr. Iyer, most of the orthodox families would die if their daughters / sisters wore anything that THEY seeem unappropriate. Is it not the same with your community? Some do go to the extremes. But, the magnitude of a crime is not always the only concern. The concern has to be the crime itself. Can you practise the same?
RE:Taslima on being a woman in ISLAM

Dear My Voice, no body has any problem if a Muslim woman wants to wear Burqua on her own but the same should not be forced upon her. What is appropriate and inappropriate is subjective. Why do you want to enforce the so-called morals on the poor girls who cannot defend themselves?
There are any number of Muslims who do not even conform to the normal civilized way of life (not to speak of Islamic way). If you see the costume worn by Ms. Zeenat Aman in the film Satyam, Shivam, Sundaram today you will run to the nearest medical shop to buy a strip of Avomin. And all these Khans, etc consume liquor as if there no tomorrow. Why are you not taking any action against them?

JGN, when did I ever advocate the use of force to wear or not to wear any sort of clothing or following a belief. You gotta understand the point I am trying to make. How many people can clean their own house the way we think other people should clean theirs? My point is that these so-called society issues over steps all boundries of religions and communities. Thats all.

Hey Anand, Dude, I am living in the present and thinking about the future. The very reason my comment pinches you is because you would have a herculian task to practise what you preach. I am not saying that it is not possible. When was not giving a damn to your parents. a sign of liberal society? Why are we enforcing or preaching so-called values that we ourselves cannot follow? We just need to live and let live.

Mohammad Ulhaq, I would like to know from you that what treatment do you have for your MEN who are characterless, abusive, indecent, criminal, shameless, and full of mental filth? I think such MEN should be treated like dogs and women should spit on them. What do you say?
I have great respect for your women and I think they are extremely strong. However, the freedom given to your MEN should be strictly controlled and curbed and these MEN should be heavily punished if they ill treat a woman or do any act of crime, harrassment, and indecency!

Mr Mohammed ulhaq if your challeging that women cannot right the similar book? then give all her freedom what you have and see what kind of book she can write.Muslim woman is more stronger than man, but man is just afraid of her that is y he takes all her strength from starting and cover her with a dark back color so that she cannot get her confidence what she deserve. So do challege to all the woman in the socity not here and see.

My dear friend, try running a 100 metres race in women's section of Olympics. I can bet that they can beat the fastest of Indian men. Even the fastest of Indian men cannot win in the women's section of olympics.
Can u box with Lyla Ali(Muhammad Ali's daughter). She beats men boxers.

I'm a non-practising Muslim. Why do u think muslims cannot criticzie their own religion. I have read a lot about Islam including watching Zakir naik tapes,Ahmed deedat etc.I know the muslim mindset very well becoz I'm one and I know how dangerous following Islam can be to humanity.I request all muslims to read and read and arrrive at thier own conclusions but not follow anything jsut bcoz thier parents asked them to.I wnat muslims to rise above religion and do well in life bcoz they are seen as a burden wherever they go.The only way muslims can improve is by geeting out of the shackles of the false religion Islam.

Dude, I could not agree with you more. Reading and gaining knowledge is the only way forward. Any person with half-a-brain can realize the mistakes that they make. To continue making mistakes is the problem. People do not use their brain for which it is given: To Think! Btw, I have no issues if you are a Muslim or you want to speak out for your own community. It does not even matter if I have issues regarding you and/or your faith and ideas. Its our right to freedom of faith and speech.
R u with civilised society or with the Jehadists?? Allow people liker Imran to voice their opinions. Others who dont like it refute can refute it. But they cant. So they mark abuse.
