Faith Under Pressure

Why I Started DeenRatio I created DeenRatio because many people accept religious claims without examining them critically. Faith should be able to withstand honest questions, logical scrutiny, and historical evidence. Truth does not fear investigation.

You are still a Muslim because you do not fully understand what Islam teaches. Islam is a distorted imitation of Christianity. It takes many of the stories found in the Bible, rewrites them, alters key details, and presents them in a different form. What was originally recorded in the Bible is retold in the Quran with major changes, omissions, and contradictions. When you compare both texts carefully, it becomes clear that Islam did not bring a new truth. It repackaged biblical history into a new religion with a different message.

Many Muslims see those confronting Islamic terrorism as enemies of Islam because, deep down, they know these terrorists are acting from the same scriptures they consider divine. A few days ago, the US military carried out an airstrike that killed a leader of the Islamic State. Instead of celebrating the removal of a mass murderer, many Muslims mourned his death. That reaction says a lot. If Muslims truly want to free Islam from terrorism, they already know what must be done: reject the violent teachings in their own texts and stop defending those who carry them out.

When violence is repeatedly carried out in the name of Islam, it is only natural to ask whether the problem lies within the religion itself. If there were nothing in Islamic teachings that encouraged hostility toward non-believers, this pattern would not be so widespread across different countries and generations. People are free to worship whatever they choose and in whatever way they choose. That is their right. But the moment a person's beliefs begin to threaten my right to live in peace, it becomes a serious concern. The evidence is difficult to ignore. Islam has struggled to coexist peacefully with other religions in many parts of the world. Every religion believes it has the truth and hopes others will accept its message. That is normal. But faith should win hearts through persuasion, not through fear, coercion, or violence.

It's like a cycle

Dear Muslims, We are still struggling to believe that the being who appeared to Muhammad was the same angel who came to earlier prophets, even though the encounter was completely different and deeply troubling. But the strongest evidence is not the story itself. It is the result. Judge a tree by its fruit. Look at what Muhammad produced. Look at what his teachings permitted. Look at what his followers have defended for centuries. The outcome speaks louder than the claim. Whatever appeared to your prophet, the fruits that followed tell their own story.

Dear Muslims, We are not attacking your religion. We are testing it, just as the Bible commands us to do. The Bible says, “Test every spirit,” and “You will know them by their fruits.” In simple terms, the actions, teachings, and results of a religion reveal its true source. If a religion produces violence, fear, deception, and oppression, then people have every right to ask what kind of spirit is behind it. Your fruits will show who you truly follow and which god you serve, because not every god is the true God.

"Allahu Akbar" literally means "God is the Greatest." But in today's world, many people hear it and immediately think, "Someone is about to explode." That is the damage Islamic terrorism has done to the image of Islam. If a Christian shouts "Praise the Lord," nobody runs for cover. If a Muslim shouts "Allahu Akbar," people become nervous. That is not because of Western propaganda. It is because extremists have acted out the teachings found in Islam's own texts and turned a religious phrase into a global warning sign.

@godfrey_amoah I wish him well in his next endeavour

For us the Mourinhistas , we never abandon our Greatest of Time. We followed him to every team he managed. I have been a spurs fan, Man united , Roma, Benfica. I have downloaded streaming apps that are flagged risky but I care less. I have watched almost 98% of all games in these teams. I know what he was doing with these teams. Almost all the teams stabbed him at the back because what they promised him in terms of players never happened. If he had a major transfer window in Benfica and the President was serious, they would have beating Madrid in that Knockout stage. I know what he can do. Our next stop is Madrid. When he leaves , we leave. It’s simple as that. I wish him good luck Forever a Mourihnista.

@Desire_fcb @markklfc Tell me you are a Gen Z without saying it

@markklfc I don’t think he can handle it

José Mourinho on handling the egos inside the Real Madrid dressing room: 🗣️ “At Real Madrid, of course you will have big egos because the biggest players in the world play here. But let me make one thing very clear nobody is bigger than the club. Not the manager, not the superstar players, nobody. I respect confidence and personality because great players need that mentality to survive at this level. But confidence without discipline becomes a problem, and I will never allow that inside my dressing room. The players will understand quickly that talent alone is not enough for me. I want sacrifice, responsibility, intensity, and commitment every single day. If a player performs, fights for the badge, and respects the team, then I will protect him like family. But if somebody thinks reputation guarantees a place in the starting eleven, they will spend a long time watching from the bench. At Real Madrid, winning is the only thing that matters and I am here to build a team, not a collection of individual stars.”

@MorEdge_Insight They are following the footsteps of their prophet

“If Sheikh Naim asks, I have a 7-month-old baby I would strap in explosives and send it to Tel Aviv… I’ll do it” He would strap his 7-month-old baby is explosives and use it as a bomb to murder Jews. Just let that sink in. These are the words they speak, and they’ve shown many times that they will actually do it. They’ve often sent young children strapped in explosives to be suicide bombers and martyrs. How can you have peace with them? It’s a death cult. Evil that the Western world cannot fathom

Muhammad, the founder of Islam, fought wars and killed those who rejected his message. Jesus Christ did not kill anyone. His disciples did not kill anyone. The apostles did not force anyone to convert. Instead, they were tortured and killed because they refused to deny what they believed. That is the clear difference. Christianity spread through sacrifice. Islam spread through conquest. So when extremists shout "Allahu Akbar" while killing innocent people, they are not inventing something new. They are following the example of the man they believe is the perfect model for all humanity. Their prophet used force to make people submit. His followers are doing the same today.

Allah appears to be a god who only speaks after Muhammad has already spoken. Many of the revelations seem to come only when Muhammad suggests something or when a new verse is needed to support his personal desires and decisions.

@Ahmedpak378456 But you can't use deceit to protect evil

Put a Moderate Muslim, a Jihadist, and an Ex-Muslim in a room and see how the Moderate Muslim starts talking about "avoiding generalizations about Islam" by pointing at themselves as the "ideal Muslim" right after the Jihadist beheads the Ex-Muslim before your very eyes. The Moderate Muslim will never stop the Jihadist to protect the Ex-Muslim. They would in fact blame the Ex-Muslim for triggering the Jihadist. And once the Ex-Muslim is dead, they would start talking about how "not all Muslims" are like the Jihadist ones. Their sole objective is protecting the reputation of Islam.

@Cool_Ustaz I pray so.

Arsenal will be crowned 2025/26 Premier League champions on the 19th of this month 🏆🥇 Mark this tweet.

Interpretation only becomes an excuse when the text is too clear to deny. When the Quran says "fight those who do not believe" and the Hadith says Muhammad was commanded to fight people until they submit to Islam, the problem is not how extremists read the text. The problem is that the text itself gives them the foundation. Extremists are not inventing these teachings. They are taking the scriptures at face value and applying them exactly as they understand them.

Quoting scripture does not automatically make someone the true representative of a religion. Interpretation matters. Extremists focus on verses about war and conflict while ignoring context, history and centuries of scholarship. Most Muslims reject their interpretation completely. If their understanding was truly mainstream, the Muslim world would already be in permanent chaos.

How can you call yourself a Muslim and still be afraid to speak against extremism? Silence will always look like approval. You can’t say “we don’t support extremists” and then stay quiet while they destroy lives and damage the image of our religion. If good Muslims stay silent, extremists will keep speaking for Islam.

@ana_herleemerh By that same logic, the terrorists, slave traders, and extremists who act in the name of Islam would prove Islam false. The truth about God is not decided by who makes money from religion. It is decided by what is true.

If your goal is to make money, open a church. But if your goal is truly to worship and submit to God, then accept Islam.” Many churches today have become profitable enterprises, while Islam remains a faith centered on sincere devotion, discipline, and complete submission to the will of Allah.

@_TheExtremist_ @Islam435 They said the religion is peaceful but the peace had to be put in context.

@DeenRatio @Islam435 Allah must have also sent a ‘Context Book’ through Jibreel after revealing the complete Quran, but Jibreel couldn't make it in time (maybe blocked by a dog, a picture, or an idol). By the time he arrived, Muhammad had died. So Jibreel had to reveal the context book to Ibn Kathir.

Islam has nothing to do with terrorism. Never did. Never will. Alhamdulillah

You say "context is literacy." Fair enough. Let us apply that same literacy to the facts. Sahih al-Bukhari 25 does not say, "I was commanded to invite people peacefully until they accept." It says plainly: "I have been commanded to fight the people until they testify that there is no god but Allah." That is coercion tied directly to religious submission. Yes, the hadith adds that once they convert and practice Islam, their lives and property are protected. But that does not solve the problem. It confirms it. Protection is granted only after accepting Islam. Your argument about treaties with Jews and Christians actually proves my point. Muhammad made temporary agreements when politically convenient, but the Quran and Hadith contain commands to fight unbelievers, impose jizya, and subordinate non-Muslims under Islamic rule. Quran 9:29 explicitly orders Muslims to fight Jews and Christians until they pay jizya "while feeling themselves subdued." Sahih Muslim 2167a instructs Muslims not to greet Jews and Christians first and to force them to the narrowest part of the road. Sahih Muslim 2922 predicts Muslims fighting and killing Jews before the Day of Judgment. These are not fringe texts. They are among Islam's most trusted sources. You can call them legal, political, or contextual. The words remain the same: fight, subdue, humiliate, and kill. A religion should be judged by what its scriptures authorize, not by modern public relations slogans. Islam is not defined by the comforting phrase "peace." It is defined by what Muhammad said and what the Quran commands.

No. It is not propaganda. It is a real hadith. And I will not hide from it. But you read half a sentence and called it a verdict. The full hadith continues: "and until they establish prayer and give zakat. If they do that, their blood and wealth are protected from me except by the right of Islam, and their reckoning is with Allah." This is a description of the conditions for entering the Islamic state and its legal protections. It is a political and legal declaration, not a sword verse commanding Muslims to kill every non-Muslim they meet. If it were a kill order, how do you explain that the Prophet peace be upon him lived alongside Jews in Madinah under a written constitution that guaranteed their rights? How do you explain that he explicitly forbade harming non-Muslim civilians, women, children, the elderly, and monks in their monasteries? These are in the same Bukhari you are quoting from. How do you explain that when Umar ibn al-Khattab entered Jerusalem, he personally guaranteed the safety of every Christian and Jew in the city and refused to pray inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre so that Muslims would never use it as a justification to convert it into a mosque? A man following a kill order does not write peace treaties. A religion commanding genocide does not produce centuries of Jewish and Christian communities thriving under Muslim rule while they were being expelled and massacred across Christian Europe. You are reading one sentence of a legal text the way someone might read "the judge sentenced him to death" without reading that it only applies to convicted murderers after due process. Context is not an excuse. Context is literacy. I respect that you are asking. But if you want the truth about Islam, read it the way you would want your own faith read. Fully. Fairly. Honestly.

Islam is peace.💙 MashaAllah

@its_The_Dr He is hustling for his 72 virgins. In Islam, to die in Jihad is gain, you can't understand it

The hate for Christians in boiling inside these people!
