The Ex-Muslim Argument from David: Why the Qur’anic Reading Is More Coherent

Image
In recent years, social media has witnessed the rise of a highly visible “Ex-Muslim” online ecosystem. Contrary to the impression created by algorithms, this visibility should not be confused with demographic significance. Major demographic studies, including those conducted by organizations such as the Pew Research Center, have consistently found apostasy from Islam to be statistically […] The post The Ex-Muslim Argument from David: Why the Qur’anic Reading Is More Coherent appeared first on Muslim Skeptic . source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/06/12/ex-muslim-argument-david/

Silicon Valley Trying to Pass Bill that Legalizes AI-Assisted Genocide

Image
In this current world of rapidly advancing AI, there are also laws being rapidly developed to regulate them. However, such laws end up being pretty meaningless if they’re designed to keep billionaire AI developers out of jail when committing mass atrocities using those AI. One such bill, known as SB 3444 or, ironically, the ‘Artificial […] The post Silicon Valley Trying to Pass Bill that Legalizes AI-Assisted Genocide appeared first on Muslim Skeptic . source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/06/11/silicon-valley-bill-ai-assisted-genocide/

Eyewitnesses or Theologians? Reassessing the Authorship of the Gospels

Image
In Islam, the Qur’an is understood to be the direct and unaltered Word of Allah, revealed to the final Messenger, the Prophet Muhammad ï·º, through the angel Gabriel, over a period of approximately twenty-three years.

When my dad first moved from Egypt to the United States twenty-some years ago, he found some things very odd in his new surroundings. He gave me three examples of […] The post Independence and Isolation Are Two Sides of the Same Coin appeared first on Muslim Skeptic . source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/06/05/independence-isolation/

Tyre Still Stands: Israel, Lebanon and a Failed Biblical Prophecy

Image
Most people encountering the name Tyre today do so through reports of Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanon. This is due to the fact that the city of Tyre is frequently mentioned as part of Israel’s campaign against Hezbollah/Hizbullah. It is a campaign that often treats vast areas of predominantly Shi’i southern Lebanon as a legitimate […] The post Tyre Still Stands: Israel, Lebanon and a Failed Biblical Prophecy appeared first on Muslim Skeptic . source https://muslimskeptic.com/2026/06/03/tyre-still-stands/

The Torah Was Changed? What Rabbinic Scholarship Actually Says

Image
One of the foundational claims of traditional Judaism is that the Torah was revealed directly by God to Moses in a complete, fixed, and authoritative form; and that this revelation was transmitted faithfully and unchanged through history.
