Revision as of 21:58, 4 December 2014

Esta página es una lista de preguntas para apologistas sobre el Islam.

Alá

  1. El Corán dice que Alá no puede tener un hijo sin una consorte,[1] aun así afirma que María tuvo un hijo sin pareja.[2] ¿No es esto una limitación de la Omnipotencia de Alá?,[3] ¿Y por qué María fue capaz de hacer algo que Alá no pudo?
  2. ¿Es Alá el dios del Antiguo Testamento?
  3. 1 de los 99 nombres de Alá es el Impostor.[4] ¿Por qué ustedes creerían en aquella deidad?
  4. ¿Por qué casi todas las descripciones de Alá se refieren a no-existencia? (por ej. incorpóreo, inmaterial, inefable, insondable, incomprensible, etc.)
  5. Si nadie puede ver a Alá ,[5][6] su género no pude determinarse. ¿Por qué ustedes aún se le dirigen [5][6] como varón?
  6. Por qué Alá tiene que sobornar a sus seguidores [7][8] prometiéndoles botines?
  7. Cómo puede Alá ser el mejor de los Creadores [9] si millones de espermas se gastan en fertilizar un sólo huevo?

Apóstatas

  1. ¿Confiarían ustedes en un partido político que no permite hablar a sus ex-miembros? Si no, ¿por qué ustedes confiarían en el Islam?, y ¿por qué alguien se convertiría a una religión que asesina[10] apóstatas y no[10][11] permite críticas?
  2. ¿Por qué tanta gente sigue abandonando el Islam[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] cuando aún reciben amenazas de muerte por hacerlo?
  3. Por qué "no hay compulsión" en la religión cuando el castigo por la apostasía, tanto apostasía "normal" o de "traición",[21] es la muerte?

Árabe

  1. El árabe clásico carece de vocales y puntuación. Si el Corán es la "palabra de Dios" sólo en su lengua natural, ¿por qué Alá no la reveló en un idioma que fuera completamente desarollado?
  2. Hay sólo 150 millones de hablantes nativos del árabe en el mundo hoy en día.[22] ¿Por qué Alá no reveló en Corán en una lengua más ampliamente hablada en la tierra como el Mandarín[23] (800 millones), Español[24] (358 millones), Inglés[25] (350 millones), Hindi[26] (200 millones) o Ruso [27] (160 millones)?
  3. Si no puedes criticar el Islam a menos que sepas Árabe clásico (porque tu entendimiento de lo que el Islam es puede ser erróneo), ¿no significa que la vasta mayoría de los musulmanes siguen y/o propagan una religión que no entienden?
  4. ¿Por qué el árabe sólo es difícil de entender o traducir cuando un no-musulmán critica el Corán? Y por qué los musulmanes afirman que los críticos traducen mal las palabras cuando es frecuente que sus propios eruditos y los más autoritativos diccionarios de árabe a Inglés [4] confirmen lo contrario?
  5. Hay muchos dialectos del árabe como el egipcio, del golfo, árabe oriental, maghrebí y docenas de otros.[28] ¿Cuál quizo usar Alá para interpretar el Corán?

Cuerpo

  1. Los musulmanes creen que las partes de nuestro cuerpo testificarán nuestros pecados en la otra vida.[29][30] ¿Se aplica también para las partes donadas?
  2. Si la circuncisión es un mandato de Alá, ¿no debería ser mencionada en el Corán? ¿Y por qué Alá no nos creó circuncidados si nos quiere de esa manera?
  3. ¿Por qué Alá odia los tatuajes ,[31] y por qué [32][33] los prohibió?
  4. ¿Por qué Alá maldice a la gente[34] por depilarse las cejas?

Niños

  1. Los musulmanes siempre atacan a los cristianos por el concepto del Pecado Original y el concepto Hindu/Budista del karma. Así que, ¿cómo explican los niños inocentes que nacen con SIDA o que nacen deformes? ¿Es "la voluntad de Alá" hacer que los niños inocentes sufran? ¿Acaso él cree que es gracioso crear hermafroditas y esquizofrénicos?
  2. ¿Por qué el Islam prohibe la adopción?[35][36] ¿Qué hay tan malo en ello?
  3. Los niños pequeños pueden creer en Cenicienta hablando a las aves y ratones y cosas por el estilo. ¿Que les hace más listos que un niño si Uds creen que Suleiman, como el Corán dice,[37] hablaba a las hormigas?
  4. ¿Por qué Uds dicen que no debe haber compulsión en la religión cuando los Hádices dicen [38] que deben golpear a los niños que no oran?

Pedofilia

  1. ¿Por qué algunos de Uds afirman que el sexo sólo se permite con chicas que han tenido sus primeras menstruaciones, cuando el Corán permite el sexo con pre-pubescentes?[39]
  2. Lina Medina (nacida en el 27 septiembre, 1933, en Ticrapo, Perú), tuvo su menarquía a la edad de 2 años y 8 meses.[40] Por lo tanto ¿estaría bien tener sexo con una bebé de 2 años de edad?
  3. El sexo entre un hombre de 53 años y una niña de 9 años, ¿es moral o inmoral?

Conflictos/Terrorismo

  1. Musulmanes modernos están teniendo conflictos religiosos con: Hinduistas en Kashmir; Cristianos en Nigeria, Egipto, y Bosnia; ateístas en Chechnya y China; Baha'ís en Iran; Animistas en Darfur; Budistas en Tailandia; varios otros en Iraq, Pakistan, Somalia, y Yemen; judíos en Israel; ¿Por qué el islam está envuelto en más conflictos religiosos y sectarios que cualquier otra religión hoy en día? De hecho, ¿Por qué es el Islam la única religión en conflicto con cada una de las mayores religiones actuales?
  2. Hasta estos días hay conflictos sectarios entre Sunnis y Chiítas en el Líbano, Iraq, Yemen y Pakistan. ¿Planeó esto Alá?
  3. ¿Por qué hay musulmanes frecuentemente preocupados sobre musulmanes de Palestina pero no sobre Iraquís, Yemenís, Sudaneses y pakistaníes que son masacrados por otros musulmanes?
  4. Al-Quds (القُدس Jerusalén) no es mencionada ni una sola vez directamente en el Corán. Así que ¿por qué hacer este tipo de afirmaciones sobre las escrituras?
  5. ¿Por qué los musulmanes construyen, o pretenden construir mega mezquitas en lugares controversiales como el London Olympic site,[41] la zona Cero de New York,[42] y a las afueras del mismísimo Vaticano?
  6. ¿Por qué musulmanes tan frecuentemente [43][44][45][46] hacen un alboroto violento después de las oraciones del viernes?
  7. Si Alá envió ángeles en ayuda de Mahoma para vencer a los paganos en la Batalla de Badr, ¿por qué no se enviaron también en más grandes y decisivas batallas donde los no-musulmanes detuvieron el crecimiento del Islam por ej. Charles Martel en Poitiers (732), la Alianca Hindú en Rajasthan (738), Hulagu Khan en Baghdad (1258), la Liga Santa en Lepanto (1571) y los Hapsburgs en Vienna (1683)?

Ka'aba

  1. La Ka'aba fue destruída por lo menos dos veces después de la muerte de Mahoma.[47] ¿Por qué Alá no envió aves para protejerla desde entonces?
  2. La Piedra negra en la Ka'aba ha sido golpeada y aplastada por una roca disparada desde una catapulta, [48] ha sido manchada con excrementos,[49] robada y rescatada por los Qarmatianos,[50] y rota en varios fragmentos.[51][52] ¿Por qué Alá no protegió esta "sagrada roca" de profanaciones y destrucción?
  3. ¿Por qué los musulmanes siguen la práctica pagana pre-islámica de circular en torno a la Ka'aba (Tawaf)?
  4. ¿No piensan Uds que es extraño que en el Judaísmo y en el Cristianismo (las religiones de aquellos quienes son considerados "Gente del Libro") no practican ninguna circumbalación ritual (caminar alrededor de la Ka'aba) para agradar a Dios, pero el paganismo árabe pre-Islámico y Hinduismo y el Budismo (religiones más antíguas que el Islam y acusadas por el Islam de “paganas”) sí practican el rito de circumbalación?

Matrimonio

  1. ¿Por qué al varón se le permite tener hasta cuatro esposas[53] pero a la mujer sólo se le permite tener un marido a la vez?
  2. ¿Por qué tener cuatro esposas es permitido pero el tener cinco ya no lo es?
  3. ¿Por qué muchas mujeres musulmanas no están de acuerdo con su marido de tener una segunda esposa, si Alá mismo permitió cuatro esposas?
  4. ¿Por qué Alá permite[54] e incluso incentiva (a través del ejemplo de Mahoma)[55] el matrimonio entre primos? ¿Acaso no sabe que aquello puede derivar en desórdenes genéticos[56][57] en los descendientes?
  5. ¿Piensan Uds que es correcto que un hombre se pueda divorciar por cualquier motivo (con sólo pronunciar "talaq" tres veces)[58] mientras que una mujer tiene que suplicar por su caso ante un juez?

Referencias

  1. "To Him is due the primal origin of the heavens and the earth: How can He have a son when He hath no consort? He created all things, and He hath full knowledge of all things." - Quran 6:101
  2. "She said: "How shall I have a son, seeing that no man has touched me, and I am not unchaste?" He said: "So (it will be): Thy Lord saith, 'that is easy for Me: and (We wish) to appoint him as a Sign unto men and a Mercy from Us':It is a matter (so) decreed." - Qur'an 19:20-21
  3. Note that Omnipotence (from Latin: Omni Potens: "all power") means unlimited power. So an omnipotent deity should be capable of doing absolutely anything. For example; if Allah cannot use the toilet, vomit, bleed or father children, it doesn’t mean humans are superior to him, but it does mean he is not an omnipotent deity.
  4. 4.0 4.1 For example; Harun Yahya includes Al-Makir in his listing of Allah's 99 names (Names of Allah/ No. 16 (Al-Makir)). He in this instance mistranslates it to mean "Planner", but more correctly translates the same word in the same verse elsewhere on his site (The School of Yusuf - Harun Yahya). Lane's Lexicon for Makr and the Hans Wehr dictionary both confirm the meaning of the term to be "Deceiver". Dr. Jamal Badawi even admits that makir is a negative word with negative connotations
  5. 5.0 5.1 "And it was not (vouchsafed) to any mortal that Allah should speak to him unless (it be) by revelation or from behind a veil, or (that) He sendeth a messenger to reveal what He will by His leave. Lo! He is Exalted, Wise." - Quran 42:51
  6. 6.0 6.1 " Such is Allah, your Lord. There is no Allah save Him, the Creator of all things, so worship Him. And He taketh care of all things. Vision comprehendeth Him not, but He comprehendeth (all) vision. He is the Subtile, the Aware." - Qur'an 6:102-103
  7. "Allah promiseth you much booty that ye will capture, and hath given you this in advance, and hath withheld men's hands from you, that it may be a token for the believers, and that He may guide you on a right path." - Quran 48:20
  8. "And know that whatever ye take as spoils of war, lo! a fifth thereof is for Allah, and for the messenger and for the kinsman (who hath need) and orphans and the needy and the wayfarer, if ye believe in Allah and that which We revealed unto Our slave on the Day of Discrimination, the day when the two armies met. And Allah is Able to do all things." - Quran 8:41
  9. Quran 23:14 "Then We made the seed a clot, then We made the clot a lump of flesh, then We made (in) the lump of flesh bones, then We clothed the bones with flesh, then We caused it to grow into another creation, so blessed be Allah, the best of the creators."

  21. "The saheeh Sunnah indicates that it is essential to put the apostate to death. [Quotes Al-Bukhaari (6922), Al-Bukhaari (6484), and Muslim (1676)] The general meaning of these ahaadeeth indicates that it is essential to put the apostate to death whether he is waging war on Islam (muhaarib) or not. The view that the apostate who is to be put to death is the one who is waging war on Islam (muhaarib) only is contrary to these ahaadeeth. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said that the reason why he should be put to death is his apostasy, not his waging war against Islam... Apostasy is of two types: ordinary apostasy and extreme apostasy, for which execution is prescribed. In both cases there is evidence that it is essential to execute the apostate...

  29. "Nay, I swear by the Day of Resurrection; Nay, I swear by the accusing soul (that this Scripture is true). Thinketh man that We shall not assemble his bones? Yea, verily. We are Able to restore his very fingers! But man would fain deny what is before him. He asketh: When will be this Day of Resurrection? But when sight is confounded And the moon is eclipsed And sun and moon are united, On that day man will cry: Whither to flee! Alas! No refuge! Unto thy Lord is the recourse that day. On that day man is told the tale of that which he hath sent before and left behind. Oh, but man is a telling witness against himself, Although he tender his excuses." - Qur'an 75:1-15

  39. According to the Qur'an, one can marry and have sexual intercourse with a child who has not yet reached her menses. In Quran 65:4, the Qur'an addresses divorce and how long one should wait for remarriage after the divorce of females who are too old or too young to menstruate, in Arabic called iddah (the stipulated waiting period). So we are told in this verse normally women should wait three monthly periods, but if she's too old or too young to menstruate then you should simply measure by three moon phases. From Quran 33:49 it is understood that the Iddah is required only if sexual contact has occurred within the marriage. If a woman is not touched by her husband, she should not have to observe any waiting period at all. Hence for a child who has not yet reached her menses having to observe the Iddah must mean that sexual intercourse had already taken place within her previous marriage.
