    On Karma
    -------------------------
    1.

  2. How does Islam explain differences amongst humans at birth. Like those born with deformities, differences amongst rich and poor. If all humans take birth for the first time then why there are differences?
  3. Why does Jesus say ""as you sow, so shall you reap" Epistle to the Galatians, 6:7?

    4. The Vedas answer for this is the Law of Karma.

    Allah having Form or Not
    ------------------------------------------
    2.

  4. Does Allah have a spiritual non material form or not? When humans have form why can't God his creator have form? Would this not be an deficiency on God?
  5. Bible says "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them [Genesis 1:27], How do we understand this?

    6. Lord Krishna has a spiritual form.

    After Death
    -----------------------
    3.

  6. What happens to people after facing the Judgment day? Are they lost forever?

    7. Vedas also describe about Judgment day where Yama the demigod of Nether regions does judge everyone's actions and punishes or rewards them accordingly at Hell but later they are born again in Earth after their term at Hell.

    4.

  7. What is the relationship between God and Soul? Is there an eternal relationship, Do they have free will after the day of judgment (and ascending to heaven lets say) to obey or disobey God?

    8. Satan
    ------------------------
    5.

  8. How can there be "Satan" enemy of God in his creation? Or is Satan an independent entity?

    9. There is no concept of Satan in Vedas, All evils and defects are due to our own wrong choice of willfully turning away from God. There is prakriti or material nature energy of God which facilitates forgetfulness for those who don't want to remember God. When the soul surrenders to God the same nature helps him to reach him.

    The reason could to just keep the fear in men to not leave the path of God.

    Comprehensiveness
    ----------------------------------
    6.

  9. When Koran is mostly comprising of Do's and Don'ts, how can it be considered complete?
  10. Why does Jesus in Bible "There are more things I would like to say but you would not be able to understand?"
  11. When Hazrat Muhammad ascended to the abode of Allah he received three kinds of knowledge from Him:
    1) The knowledge that Allah ordered Muhammad to conceal;
    2) The knowledge that Allah let Hazrat Muhammad choose whether he wished to conceal or reveal;
    3) The knowledge which Allah ordered the Apostle to communicate to all members of the community.
    (Nadar Beg K. Mirza, 'Reincarnation and Islam', and Geo Widengren, 'Muhammad the Apostle of God and his ascension', page 108)
    Thus, Hazrat Muhammad received part of the eternal divine knowledge of which part he had to conceal.
    When the messenger of God comes, he delivers knowledge according to time, place, circumstances and the intellectual capacities of the people. Once, the Apostle of God said, "Speak to the people according to their intellectual capacities. For if you speak all things to all men, some cannot understand you, and so fall into errors."

    12. Veda means knowledge it is an encyclopedia.The Bhavisya Purana also mentions about advent of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) inorder deliver the message of God to people of West Asia in order to elevate them to a civilized state from state of chaos. So Islam is a subset of Vedanta customized to people in medieval Arabia.

    Animal rights
    -------------------------------
    7.

  12. Do animals have soul? Prophet Mohammad says you have treat animals as your own brothers then why the animals are being mercilessly killed? St Francis preached God consciousness to animals.

    13. 8.

  13. Why do followers of Islam don't stop cow killing when Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) himself has never sacrificed cows?

    14. 9.

  14. Why is there no reduction in killing animals for meat inspite of clear instruction in Koran do desist killing animals unless required?

    15. In Arabian desert no other food source was available so animal killing can be justified but why now?

    10.

  15. Moses says "Thou shall not Kill". But it is conveniently interpreted as "Thou shall not kill humans".

    16. Reincarnation
    ----------------------------------------
    11. Dr Ian Stevenson has studied about 4000 cases of people remembering past lives and which has been verified? What does Koran have to see about this?

    The Koran itself seems quite clear: "And you were dead, and He brought you back to life. And He shall cause you to die, and shall bring you back to life, and in the end shall gather you unto Himself." (2:28). The words "you were dead" can only mean that they had lived before becoming dead. And the words "in the end shall gather you unto Himself" could very well mean the attainment of moksha (release) rather than an eternal life in heaven or hell.

    Apart from scientific evidences to vedic concept of re-incarnation. There are Biblical evidences too.

    There also seem to be lot of contradictions between Bible and Koran a full list can be found here. According to Islamic followers Jesus is considered to be a prophet. And Bible is a authentic message of God.

    Some ethical questions
    1. Reciprocity: If Muslims can build mosques in India, and increasingly demand more mosques and the right to sound the call to prayer, why are there no churches,temples in Saudi Arabia? If non-Christians are welcome to visit Rome, Jerusalem and the great cathedrals of Christendom, why are non-Muslims threatened with death if they set foot in Mecca?

    2. Blasphemy: Given that, even though hardly a day passes without some insults against Hinduism in our media or daily conversations, Hindus seldom even complain, why are remarks deemed insulting to Islam, often even without that intent, often met with blood-curdling threats?

    3. Apostasy: Why should someone who gives up Islam, for another faith or no belief, be killed or mistreated, when the Koran says that "there is no compulsion in religion"?

    4. What about taqiyya, ‘deception’? Do Muslims believe it’s acceptable to lie? When they present a moderate image, is it genuine or is it a strategy to deceive?

    5. What about the principle of abrogation, meaning that so-called "Surahs of the Sword" in the Koran – advocating violent jihad – supercede the "Surahs of Peace"? Sayyid Qutb, godfather of Islamism and author of Milestones, the Islamists’ Mein Kampf, writes that "the command to refrain from fighting during the Meccan period was a temporary stage in a long journey" and that Islam "has the right to destroy all obstacles in the form of institutions and traditions". When God restrained Muslims from violent jihad, Qutb adds, "it was a question of strategy rather than principle". Is that why so many British Muslims have stayed silent? Are they following strategy rather than principle? If not, let them speak out, unconditionally and loudly, against violence and hate, and in favour of liberal democracy.

    6. Is it true that in many mosques, Muslims pray a ‘cursing prayer’ against non-Muslims, sometimes over the loud-speakers to intimidate their non-Muslim neighbours?

    7. Why do Muslims make such a noise about Palestine, Kashmir and Chechnya, but seldom campaign against Muslim-on-Muslim abuse, such as the genocide in Darfur, and are almost silent on human rights violations in non-Muslim lands, such as Burma or North Korea or Zimbabwe? Daveed Gartenstein-Ross – a former convert to Islam who joined a Wahhabi charity that funded al-Qaeda – recalls in his book My Year in Radical Islam a fellow-Muslim dismissing accounts of the Taliban’s record in Afghanistan as "Western media hype". Gartenstein-Ross writes: "The lack of women’s rights, the slaughter of Shias, the complete suppression of freedoms – all of this was being written off as hype? But at the time, it seemed that nobody else noticed this. Not the teachers, not the students." Instead, he claims, his co-workers went on the offensive. "In every area where Islam was criticised, they tried to show that the West was worse." Why?

    8. Honour crimes: Although honour crimes are not limited to the Muslim community, they are particularly prevalent in the Muslim world. Why, if Islam is a religion of peace, do Muslim parents beat or kill their daughters for actions that would be accepted in almost any other community in the civilised world?

    9. Women: why is a woman’s evidence worth half that of a man in court? Under Pakistan's Hudood Ordinances, for example, a woman who has been raped has to produce four male Muslim witnesses – otherwise she is charged with adultery and jailed.

    10. Melanie Phillips has said that according to studies and polls, Britain is the least Islamophobic country in Europe, and yet it is the host-country most hated by its Muslim citizens. Why?
