Tough General Questions to Further Expose Islam’s Flaws

1. Why Does Islam Claim to Be Eternal When It Only Appears in the 7th Century?

• If Islam’s the "original faith" (Surah 3:19), why’s there no trace of it—prayers, mosques, Tawhid—before Muhammad?
• Why did Allah wait thousands of years, letting humanity flounder, before dropping the Quran?

2. How Can Islam Be Universal If It’s So Tied to Arab Culture?

• Why’s the Quran in Arabic only (Surah 12:2), with Arab rituals (Kaaba, Hajj), if it’s for all nations?
• If Allah sent messengers everywhere (Surah 16:36), why’s Islam’s flavor so desert-specific?

3. Why Does the Quran Lack Any Unique Scientific or Historical Insights?

• If it’s divine, why’s it stuck repeating basic creation stories (Surah 2:29) with no new knowledge—unlike, say, Greek astronomy pre-dating it?
• Why does it get embryology wrong (Surah 23:12–14) compared to Hippocrates (5th century BC)?

4. Why Did Allah Need Angels and Jinn If He’s All-Powerful?

• If Allah’s omnipotent (Surah 2:20), why delegate to angels (Surah 82:10–11) or create jinn (Surah 55:15) who rebel?
• Isn’t this a pantheon in disguise—contradicting Tawhid?

5. Why Does Islam Rely on Fear Instead of Reason to Keep Followers?

• Why the death penalty for leaving (Bukhari 6922) if truth stands on its own?
• Why warn against questioning (Surah 5:101) if Islam’s so clear (Surah 5:15)?

6. Why Are There No Pre-Islamic Witnesses to Muhammad’s Prophethood?

• If he’s the "seal" (Surah 33:40), why no Jewish, Christian, or pagan predictions of his coming—unlike Jesus in Isaiah 7:14?
• Why’s the first non-Muslim mention of him (e.g., Doctrina Jacobi, ~636 AD) so late and vague?

7. Why Does the Quran Repeat Stories Without Adding Depth?

• If it’s the final word, why retell Noah (Surah 11:25–49) or Moses (Surah 7:103–137) from the Bible with less detail and no new lessons?
• Why’s it more a remix than a revelation?

8. Why Did Islam Need Military Conquest to Spread If It’s Divine Truth?

• If Allah’s message is self-evident (Surah 5:15), why the wars (e.g., Byzantine battles, 630s AD) instead of peaceful conversion like early Christianity (Acts 2)?
• Why does the Quran justify violence (Surah 9:29) over persuasion?

9. Why Does Allah Seem So Focused on Muhammad’s Personal Life?

• Why verses tailored to Muhammad’s wives (Surah 33:50), battles (Surah 8:1), or critics (Surah 111)—not universal truths?
• If Allah’s infinite, why’s he micromanaging one man’s drama?

10. Why Has Islam Produced So Little Original Thought Compared to Other Faiths?

• If it’s the final truth, why’s Islamic philosophy (e.g., Al-Ghazali) mostly borrowed from Greeks or stalled by dogma?
• Why do Jewish (Maimonides) and Christian (Aquinas) thinkers outshine Islam’s intellectual peak?
