Hey everyone! I'm new here, but I looked into this forum very often since a long time.
Before I ask my question I wanted to introduce myself: I'm a girl from germany who came in contact with islam and I nearly converted out of fear, at first because of the so called scientific and mathematical miracles (in which I don't believe anymore, even if the math thing is weird lol) and then because of apologists like andalusian project, mohammed ghilan and so on. But I think I'm improving and my fear is decreasing...

Now my question:
I thought that reading the book 'my ordeal with the quran' may help me to overcome my fear, but when i googled it, I saw a comment on reddit (exmuslim) about it:
It was this:

"Abbas abdul noor has been exposed by several scholars as well as a famous Egyptian defender of Islam Dr. Ibrahim Awad, he is a professor of Arabic Literary Criticism, here is the link of his website, but it is in arabic here (awad.phpnet.us/ index.htm).

The man in question supposedly authored the book "me7naty ma3 el Quran" translation "My trouble with the Quran."

Dr. Ibrahim has great knwoledge of the tactics of missionaries and fabricated books that attempt to attack Islam. A few of the points that I recall briefly that he had identified about the man and his book are;

1) Abbas abdul noor, the name abdul noor(a common name they refer to Jesus(pbuh) with) is common amongst christian coptics not muslims.

2) He claims he was born in damanhour a city in egypt and that he was a famous professor of Islamic philosophy, yet according to Dr. Ibrahim Awad's knowledge no such individual exists, else he would be extremely famous and well known

3) The book contains several linguistic usages that are common in lebanese publishing companies, not egyptian as the book claims.

4) The author in several occasions quotes the christian gospels(in a positive way) to make sarcastic comments about destiny and Qadar.

Nice try..."

What are you thinking about it? Do you think it could be a 'fake' like he said? I didn't find any other notes on this book by muslims, and I didn't find anything from Dr. Ibrahim Avad...

I'm really sorry if it isn't this important and making an own thread for this was unnecessary. You can delete it if you want!

Also I wanted to ask another question about a claim from muslims with makes me worried. Can you help me and tell me where I can post it and if I should bother anyone with this? I'm really not sure. :(

Thanks for reading this!
Greetings!

very welcome trolah i just tried to open your internet link its not working and as long as your questions are concerned there are many apostates ex muslims have written books and things over internet you could find it helpful theres one on youtube called the masked arab its really good check it out

German Girl (GG) asks something  and  Suki  gives some link   and ..and Aftab sends send German Girl to you tubes   ..   I don't think I read the answers  in their posts to these questions of   GG .. I ASK THEM
 WHY?....WHY?       I  demand answers from  THEM for these questions of GG  

Well that is hard to explain. I really hate the concept of islam and the concept of the islamic god. I can't believe in a good god who will torture disbelievers forever in hell. That won't go in my head. It's not that I hate islam and its rules - i think it is not bad as everyone, especially in my country, thinks. But the whole concept of heaven and hell, of god testing us despite beeing omniscient, it doesn't make any sense to me. I think it is cruel.
That's why I somehow fear/feared, that islam might be true - I know it sounds really dumb - but it would destroy everything I believe in life...
I hope you understand what I mean.

It's not Islam, or Allah which gives you that fear. It's the Muslim apologists you interact with which would do everything they can to sow and reinforce such a fear. Its a very common tactic, and especially aimed at the emotionally vulnerable.

What do you fear would be destroyed in your life? It seems to me that you have some sort of attachment which makes you feel vulnerable.

Hi, I translated the book. Despite the claim above - no-one has been able to positively identify the author. Abbas Abdul Noor is without doubt a pen name and not his real name. He may well not be Egyptian. He has obviously hidden his identity for obvious reasons.

As for being a Christian, that seems very unlikely since he heavily criticises Christianity in the book.

The book can be judged by what it says.

I am in no doubt the author is a Muslim and highly educated as well as deeply knowledgeable as regards Islam. The observations and points he makes are excellent.

but  I am sure   dear suki.,  greetings from my well wishers means to me a lot and gives  me  immense power to live  life ....  

So  I wonder about Hassan said and on the fear of   Trolah  German girl   TGG

Hassan says
 
 
Irrespective  of the faith of  the person., and it doesn't matter   whether one is   jewish., christian, hindu,  sikh,  buddhist....atheist (as  faith head)  ... his/her language...his/her culture....... color  etc..etc.. " Any one who criticizes Quran will  criticize  the other religious books, other  faiths and faith heads "

If S/He  is incapable of doing that means that  S/He  is living in hypocrisy  ..  So   Abbas Abdul Noor  may be christian  ..So what??

and dear German Girl...  dear TGG  what is the fear?? why fear  about Islam?

You know in  my Islam.,  IT IS NOT BOOK...IT IS NOT RITUALS.. IT IS NOT POLITICS.,


And my good wishes to you all
yeezevee

Thank you very much for your comment on this!
I think this is the answer I was searching for!
