Excerpts
“The biggest thing that led me to atheism is the moral aspect in Islam. How come, for example, a merciful and compassionate God, said to be more merciful than a woman on her baby, permits slavery and the trade of slaves in slave markets? How come He permits the rape of women on the grounds that they are just war captives? These acts would not be done by a merciful human being much less by a merciful God,”[3] Nostic writes.

Ben Jebli believes that religion as we know it is “the greatest deception” man has ever been subjected to. In one of his videos, he asks: “We know nothing about God. He exists, but not necessarily as religions describe Him. In every religion He has a different identity and name, and speaks a different language. . . . Can we believe that God is idle to keep changing his names like that?”[4] Ben Jebli denies religions and the sacred books altogether, believing that they were crafted and authored by man. The Quran, according to him, “is not the word of God because it has human imprints. The only thing that says that the Quran is the word of God is the Quran itself.”[5]
Ben Jebli’s book, “Surat al-lah fi al-Quran wa Sunnah” (The Image of God in the Quran and the Sunnah), explores the issue of God’s personification in Islam. Based on his study of the Quran and the hadith, Ben Jebli argues that God’s image as a mightier being, yet with the same human physicality, is in fact a caricature that reflects “poor human imagination.”
