Is Islam true?.

[rajpoot]

I haven't read this thread through, but I do have few questions for the OP.

You're trying to prove that Islam is a false religion based on what the Quran has to say. Say I agree with you (because I'm neither Christian nor Jew nor Muslim....in fact I'm not religious at all). But then I also believe that like the Quran while the Bible makes a good read, it is more or less fiction too. As are many of the religious stories told about other religions.
Can you prove otherwise? Can you prove that any religion is true?

Great question, I believe it can be shown to be true, but at same time cannot prove it to be true. Just as anything that is past event, we cant prove abraham Lincoln was a real person. We can show all evidence indicates this, body with his name on tombstone, photos,people claim its him etc etc. So it would be constant with belief he is true. I believe the same can be shown with bible. I will eventually do a thread on this very subject.

I look forward to that thread.
I do however believe that statements/stories from religious texts, (no matter which is the religion in question) can also be used to show that what's written is anything more than a fairy tale. That would require some faith in modern science though.

, we cant prove abraham Lincoln was a real person.

This is the problem with mass literacy

Would an athiest bookstore keep a copy of the bible on their fantasy shelves?

A secular book store keeps the bible under the "Religions" section.
