>Subject;    Fw: As A Muslim 

As a Muslim are you permitted to question Islam or is that strictly forbidden? Anotherwrords if you had a doubt about Islam at all would you be permitted to question someone you felt would be helpful to you? That is, a Muslim in good faith or even

someone outside the Muslim faith?

Have you ever studied Christianity or Sacred Scripture of the Old and New Testaments?

My next question is similliar: if I am not nor ever have been a Muslim would I be considered an unbeliever although I believe in God? What is the basis of authority in Islam? Is it the Quaran or is it the person who interprets the Quaran?
