I was once being trained for being an Alim (scholar) of Islam but having read a variety of philosophical texts I slowly if not painfully at times lost my faith, particularly Kierkegaard\'s Fear & Trembling struck the final blow to me. Though now looking upon Islam I find it a very deeply disillusioned faith, though I hold the same views with most faiths. For me Islam and that of most faith is a form social indoctrination that can used to hold an individual down socially and politically. It does allow people to express themselves fully or even explore themes let alone actually experience it. For me it Islam has it moments of delights but they are rare and even then do not hold illuminating revelations that a philosophical, scientific or even a well thought literature can hold. Islam to me is a mechanism for social cohesion, not the means to produce free thinking society.
