Islam’s Crisis of Apostasy

“Islam promises success to its followers in this life and the next.” ~ Mark Durie

Is this what Muslims see in the Islamic world? See video below.1

In the Islamic world criticism of Islam is forbidden. But with the invention of the internet, many Muslims are quietly reading articles and watching videos which are critical of Islam (see the YouTube video "Why Muslim Apologists Lie: David Wood Explains Islam's 99 1 Rule"). The following film has caused many Muslims to question what they have been told by their imams. Have Muslims Been Praying In The Wrong Direction For Over 1000 Years? | Sacred City

Many Muslims are becoming Christians. See "I was a Jihadist, Now I'm Fighting Islam in Germany - Irfan Peci & Apostate Prophet" on Apostate Prophet's channel on YouTube and Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus2  

In the first video on this page Mark Durie pointed out that the more violence that is being committed in the name of Islam, the more Muslims are turning from Islam. Can Muslims put a stop to this violence? (For a list of recent terrorist attacks in the name of Islam see thereligionofpeace.com.) 

Will Muslims denounce the violent things the messenger of Allah and his companions did and said?3

What can peaceful Muslims do to oppose radical Islam? See Silencing the Persecuted.

 

1. Mark Durie (see first video on this page) has written a very interesting book about the treatment of non-Muslims in Islamic lands. Permission has been granted to share the preface to this book. Preface to The Third Choice.

2. If you are a Christian and you have Muslim friends you might find the following YouTube video helpful Witnessing in a Muslim Context with Benjamin Hegeman and Mark Durie by Andy Miller.

3. The author (translator) of The Al Qaeda Reader: The Essential Texts of Osama Bin Laden's Terrorist Organization, Raymond Ibrahim, has a number of YouTube video's which look closely at the theological underpinnings for violence in the name of Islam. His video "Muhammad's 'Evil Genius' Was to Make Islam TRIBAL" and his article "Ten Ways the Mafia and Islam are Similar" are very informative.
