The Sins of Fallacy

I couldn’t agree more with one of the points made by Irshad Manji in her Aug.1 Maclean’s article ’The ’Sins of Scripture’’. She spoke out against the lack of questioning done by Muslims today in regards to their own religion as well as what is written in the Quran. Yes, we are taught from the beginning that the Quran is a pristine book, and the “final and perfect manifesto of God’s will.“ And yes, we are also taught to believe it is untouchable, and that our religion is, at least in our eyes, the perfect religion. Unfortunately, many Muslims today simply take what is fed to them without question or query, and no introspection of one’s own. Many don’t like to question what is written in the Quran for fear of seeming defiant in the face of an established axiom, even though inside they may have many questions on why we must do the things that God has told us to do.
