Paul Williams, the creator of the Muslim Dawah site Blogging Theology and a regular speaker at the speaker’s corner seems to be making a decision to leaving Islam.
In his own words on his twitter handle, this is what he has to say;
wow I’ve lost nearly 100 followers in the last 24 hours. Lets see if i can piss off another 100 in the next 24.

“Remember the days of old, Consider the years of many generations. Ask your father, and he will show you; Your elders, and they will tell you: When the Most High divided their inheritance to the nations, When He separated the sons of Adam, He set the boundaries of the peoples According to the number of the children of Israel.” Deuteronomy 32:7-8 NKJV

INTRODUCTION
The issue of wars and violence in the Old Testament had been taken by opponents as evidence against the morality of Yahweh. Slandering phrases ranging from “a monstrous deity” to “blood-thirsty and war-mongering god” had been levied against Yahweh.
Those who refer to themselves as Christians, from the turn of the first to the second century, who also were bothered by these issues decided to go for an hyper-radical solution by disavowing Yahweh (whom they refer to as the Old Testament God) as the true Deity. Bending the authentic Christian faith to their polytheistic beliefs, they saw another opportunity to create tension between Jesus and the God of the Old Testament. They see them as two worlds apart and that the connection between them is very negligible. They fondly refer to the Old Testament God as “Demiurge“. The name basically meaning “fashioner” or “artisan” can be traced back to Platonism. More

The study of the Historical Jesus has for some decades generated a lot of interest among Scholars, the adherent of the Islamic faith are particular interested in this studies as well since Jesus is one of the central figure in Islam. The Muslims are willing to hear what the Scholars have to say and adapt which ever part seems to agree or confirm the Islamic belief, and in the end will go like “there you have it” the Qur’an have been echoing this for years!
Among the Scholars Muslims would like to listen to and quote for the defense of Islam and as an attack on the Christian faith is the man, Bart D. Ehrman, the man Muslims love quoting when discussing the critical issues on the Gospels and the Bible as a whole. The reason why the Muslims love to quote Ehrman among other liberal Scholars is obvious, it is always about attacking the Bible, even though Dr. Ehrman does not hold the same view with the Muslims and will not come to the same conclusion with them, they love him anyway.
Recently, Bart posted on his blog, responding to some certain questions he was asked, and one of those happen to be a trend the that has grown for some years among the Muslims, the use of his material as an attack on the Bible. Before responding to the questions, Bart noted how a Muslim had earlier made this comment about how they use his work:
[After pointing out that whoever said I was about ready to convert to Islam was obviously makin’ in up, or influenced by someone else who was makin’ it up, this Muslim reader commented as follows:] Anyways, that won’t stop us from using your awesome arguments against Christianity. You confirmed like 99% of Islamic belief about Jesus without even resorting to the Quran. That is pretty impressive and no wonder Muslims flock to your blog and FB.

Muhammad, Free Speech and the European Court of Human Right.
Just recently, a EUROPEAN court has ruled insulting religion is a criminal offence after a woman who is identified as called Mrs S, called the Prophet of Islam, Mohammed a paedophile had her conviction upheld.
The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) ruled that Mrs S, was convicted by a lower court in Vienna for disparaging religious doctrines and was ordered to pay a 480 euros, that is about $546 as fine plus legal fees. Even though she appealed, her case was thrown out by the Court of Appeal in the Austrian capital as well as the country’s Supreme Court. The rulings can be read and download here.
Mrs S, who is actually 47-year-old from Vienna was reported to have held seminars where she made the comments while debating the marriage between Mohammed and Aisha, a six-year-old girl. Aisha according to Islamic history is one and the favourite of the Prophet’s wives, she was 6 year old when Muhammad married her.
Mrs S in one of her seminars was reported to have said: “A 56-year-old and a six-year-old? What do we call it, if it is not paedophilia?” She was also quoted to have said Muhammed “liked to do it with children”. She was actually convicted for insulting Muhammad in February 2011 by the Vienna Regional Criminal Court and the ECHR recently upheld their decision. More
