Miscellaneous Questions

Dear Ali Sina,

I have created havoc in my area against Islam, and disturbed their
mind a lot. But I don’t have the answers for few of the questions
Muslims raise. I would be very thankful to you please answer them.

If Mohammed was a fake, then what he used to do in cave Hira?

Muhammad was a narcissist. As such he was uncomfortable to interact
with others as equal. Narcissists can only interact with others as
superior, when they are venerated, obeyed and respected. That is why
they always try to create a cult. If they fail to create a cult, they
retreat from the society and become loners. As the Sira tells us, after
Muhammad formed his cult and was able to gather his narcissistic supply
from his votaries, he stopped going to the cave.

The Unabomber
was very smart man – a child prodigy, who was accepted into Harvard
University at the age of 16, where he earned an undergraduate degree,
and later earned a PhD in mathematics. But as a narcissist who could not
create a cult he lived in a hut away from the society. He took his
vengeance from other intellectuals by sending them bombs. He was a
loner not because he loved contemplation, but because he was unable to
interact with others as equal. The reason Muhammad spent his time in a
cave was the same.

If Mohammed was a looter, why he did not leave any
property behind him? When he died there was nothing precious found in
his house?

Muhammad left a huge amount of wealth behind. Where do you think the
entire wealth of the Bani Nadir and Fadak went? It all went to him.
Twenty percent of all the loot became his personal property. Tabari
counts the wealth of Muhammad after his death. He had several slaves and
hundreds of camels. A hadith tells us that in one occasion Aisha
manumitted 40 of her slaves as expiation for breaching an oath. How many
slaves she had to afford manumitting 40 in one day? Aisha was only one
of Muhammad several wives.

The Shiite/ Sunni divide was caused over Fadak, a town Muhammad took
as his personal property after he raided Khaybar. When he died, his
daughter Fatima claimed the town is her inheritance and should be given
to her. Abu Bakr objected and said everything Muhammad owned belongs to
Baitulmal. This created a rift between Ali, Fatima’s husband and Abu
Bakr that eventually divided Islam in two sects.

The claim that nothing was found in Muhamamd’s house is ridiculous.
First of all he had nine houses, one for each of his wives and he had
also a garden with a house in it outside Medina where Mariah, his sex
slave lived, away from his wives. He had hundreds of camels, horses and a
lot of equipment of war and tremendous amount of money that he had
looted from his victims.

Why he kept quiet for first two years about his revelation, if he was an imposter?

The question should be why he kept quiet about his revelation if he
was not an imposter. If he was sent from God he should have told
everyone. But he told only to a few close ones to test the waters and
only came out when he felt safe and secure.

Why there are so many spiritual saints or Wali under the banner of Islam who practiced Islam’s Kalima’s and verses form Quran?

There are no spiritual saints in Islam. These people Muslims call
saint are a bunch of charlatans. I cannot show you the dead ones, but I
can show you the ones that are living, Watch this video and see the
veneration Muslims show to this man. His name is Maulana Ajmal Qadri. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P19OfllEj_c

Now read the debate I had with him.
http://alisina.org/blog/2010/12/13/maulana-ajmal-qadri-vs-ali-sina/

Does he sound like a saint or a charlatan? The greatest saint of
Islam was Rumi and he too was an ignoramus. He was a great poet, but not
an enlightened one. I wrote about him here.

There are some good people among Muslims, but they are ordinary
people who don’t know much about Islam. They are good because they
follow their conscience and not Islam. No person can follow Muhammad and
remain a good person. It is not possible. True Muslims are evil and
they become more demonic as they follow Muhammad more.

Why Mohammed used to wear torn and old clothes, used to
put on his own shoes with his own hands in spite of slaves, if he was a
narcissist?

It is funny that Muslims contradict themselves so easily without even
noticing. In the same sentence they claimed Muhammad was poor and wore
torn and old cloths and also admit that he had several slaves. How can a
poor person own several slaves? Muslims are incapable of thinking
about simple things like this.

Anyway, Muhammad was poor when he came to Medina. He had wasted the
wealth of Khadijah and had become penny-less again. The stories about
his poverty are about this period. Later he started raiding and looting
and became the wealthiest man in Arabia.

Muhammad was not a modest man but as a narcissist he made a show of
it. Narcissists project an image of holiness and like to be perceived
as holy, detached and other worldly people. This is the mask they wear.
They live behind this false self.

Why he was a so humble with everyone even with his slaves?

This is a lie. Muhammad was never humble to anyone. He made a show of
it but in reality he expected everyone to love him and prefer his life
to their own. He considered himself superior to all mankind and there
are hadiths that show this. In one hadith he claimed when he was a child
two men dressed in white came and opened his chest and pulled out his
heart and opened it and from it they throw away a clogged blood and then
washed it and put it back and sew him up. Then they weighed him against
100 people and he was heavier. Then they weighed him against 1000
people and he was still heavier. Then one of the men said to the other,
leave him because if you weigh him against all mankind he will be still
heavier.

I don’t want to talk about the ridiculousness of this story. It
however shows he really thought of himself to be superior to everyone.
That is not what humility looks like.

Why so many people get illumination and wisdom for
reading Quran, in spite of showing the evils in the Quran and Islam,
they still say they got illumination from it?

People can think they get enlightened, but in reality they are not.
Those who convert to Islam and then leave it admit that they had been
fooled without knowing it.

Where are the enlightened Muslims? I have debated with thousands of
them and have exposed their ignorance. If Muslims become enlightened
they should be able to make us see that light. Why can’t they? Their
enlightenment is all subjective. Once tested with reason it becomes
clear what they call enlightenment is nothing but ignorance and
self-deception.

If Sufism also not true or pure spirituality, then why
there were so many great wali and enlightened people, who even do
miracles in living and even after their death, people get help from them
(Tomb & Relics)?

I already answered this question. There are no miracles in Islam and
in any religion. Those who claim performing miracles are charlatans.
They trick people with cheap magic. Magicians are honest artists. They
tell you from the outset that what you see is not real. But these
impostor religious conmen lie to you and say it is miracle. Anytime you
hear someone has performed a miracle know that that person is an
impostor.

When Muhammad was asked to perform amiracle he said he can’t do it
and the only miracle he is given is the Quran. If Muhammad could not
perform miracles how can his followers perform it? Miracles are a lie.
As Einstein used to say, the greatest miracle is that there are no
miracles and that the universe is governed by predictable laws.

Still from some Quranic verses people get cured some
troubles are solved and evil spirits are warded off( I know faith helps,
faith does everything but why evil spirits from house or buildings are
removed from Quranic verses… though it sounds silly to atheists, I
myself is an atheist but…….)

Evil spirits don’t exist. Evil people do and Muhammad and many of
his followers are among them. But faith heals. If you believe in
something strongly you get result. You can pray to a chair and if you
really believe the chair can cure you, you get the result. This is a
known fact. It is being used as standard procedure to test the efficacy
of a new drug. New drugs are tested against placebo. The reason is that
a lot of healing take place as the result of one’s expectation of
getting better. Let us say 25% of people get cured simply by expecting
to get cured. People who trust their doctors will get better even if the
doctor gives them a sugarcoated starch tablet. If a drug then cures
only 25% of patients, that drug is considered to have zero effect. If it
cures 75% of the patients it is said that the drug is 50% efficient.

Everyone knows Khomeini was a truly evil man. But those who believe
in that monster and pray in his mausoleum get cured. Khomeini must be in
hell but the faith of his followers in him heal them from their
diseases.

It is the faith that heals not the healer.
