I lived with conflict confusion and frustration, due to all the man made rules and different interpretations of verses in the Quran. When asked by my non Muslim friends about Islamic \/ Muslim stereotyped ( behavior and traditions ) I had no answer. Example: Muslims kill inocent non Muslims and yell Allahu Akbar ( God is the Greatest ) I had no answer. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #334155; margin: 0 0 16px 0;\"\u003eI decided to leave Islam thinking I was in the wrong religion. I could not - my heart bore witness to the message in the Quran and I am convinced that The Quran is not a man made scripture. When I read Quran my heart bears witness to its message and I am convinced it is from God. The problem is,the man made rules and the inovations from all the different cultures and tribes and countries. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #334155; margin: 0 0 16px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExample:\u003c\/strong\u003e Become Muslim, change your name to Abdullah or Muhammad etc and then dress like an arab and then follow the list of all the things you \u003cstrong\u003eCANNOT DO\u003c\/strong\u003e.  When asking why noone had any answers they said the scholars said the Hadith said it etc. What is a Hadith anyway? Techincally its HEARSAY. 200 -300 years after the Prophet Muhammad died people said, person A said that person B said that person C said that the Messenger of God said XYZ. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #334155; margin: 0 0 16px 0;\"\u003eIn my mind, that is not divine relveation thats hearsay and I dont have to beleive or accept it. All of the misrepresentation in Islam and the behavior that gives Muslims a bad name come from these Hadith and these so called scholars and self proclaimed sheiyhks ( wise men ).  \u003cstrong\u003eExample:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prophet Muhamman marrying a 6 year old and having sex with her at age 9. I dont have to defend that. Its a Hadith its hearsay. I dont beleive it. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #334155; margin: 0 0 16px 0;\"\u003eWhen I found the following two You Tube channels I was convinced that God guided me to them and after watching the videos I am convinced I was brainwashed and my frustration was justified all along. I was following ma made rules, not true Islam.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Interpreter Academy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51412521517281,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/theinterpreteracademy.org\/products\/manmade-rules-and-brainwashing","provider":"The Interpreter Academy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
