A letter to Professor Palazzi from a Muslim youth

Dear Shaykh Prof. Abdul Hadi Palazzi,

Peace be upon you.  

I'll make this as short as possible so i won't take up your time. This letter is regarding your correspondence with Ali Sina.

http://www.faithfreedom.org/debates/Palazzi20615.htm  

I lived in a Muslim background amongst a Muslim family. However, I've started having doubts now about Islam after I moved to study in the West (no, the 'freedom' here did not make me dislike Islam, but the freedom of thought and speech allowed me to analyse Islam critically without worrying about any human punishment), and I’ve been visiting FaithFreedom.org for a long time now.  

I'm not officially nonmuslim (yet?), but if what I read is true and no one can even refute him, then I may have no choice.  

Please don't think I'm a bad person. I just want to know the truth about God. Don't we all?! Why should I be a Muslim just because my parents were? Why should I be killed for leaving a religion I never even chose to be part of?  

Please take the time to respond to Ali. If Islam is a true religion, then you have nothing to lose and a lot to gain by engaging in a civilised debate with Ali. I assure you he is the most logical person I have ever met (though I haven't met him in person :P). I don't like read the other authors' articles because they tend to divert from Islamic scripture (e.g. they refer to bad things happening around the world and just attribute it to Islam without proper referencing from the Hadith and Sunnah). Sina, on the other hand, dwells into the history and psychology of Muhammad, and has very deep knowledge of the Quran and Hadtih.  

Sir, if you win, then you will be blessed by Allah for saving so many apostates from the Hellfire, for they will surely return to Islam if you win. And why would you lose? Don't you believe Islam is the true religion? You will be victorious, and I'll be the first to thank you and be a Muslim (inshaAllah if so).  

In other words, this is a chance for hidaya... Many sheikhs used to tell me that Muhammad was tolerant of his enemies and prayed for them to be good Muslims and patiently preached those who were insistent on hating him. Why not follow his example and do the same with the 'blasphemous' Ali?  

Best regards.  

K.C. 

Dear Mr. Ali Sina,  

Please forward the following letter to Mr. Palzzi, but use fake name.  

Best regards  

Dear Mr. Palazzi,  

I have read your response to Mr. Sina letter and get surprised to your answer.

It appeared to me that you represent a modern type of Islam and have the courage to stand beside human values, as you cooperate with Jewish organizations. You may be aware that this is completely in conflict with Mohammed Islamic teaching, but it gives a good idea about your personality and approach unless it is part of the Islamic deception.

Your negative response to Mr. .Sina letter about the cartoon raises a lot of questions which need an answer from you. Also your negative answer and attack as indicated in the faithfreedom indicate that Islam change you completely to a typical Muslim as every body know.

Please read my letter positively and open your mind to the truth but only the truth.  

Best regards
