There is a flaw in the logic above from a Christian perspective.
EVE was talking intellectively in this logic not only religiously...
I think I understand the source of it is from different views of God's nature. In the Christian view, there is a concept of perfect goodness which only God knows perfectly and from which God never deviates. God is never the author of evil, which only exists because of the free will granted His creations. The Islamic view as I understand it is that God (Allah) is directly the author of both good and evil.
I didn't get this one !! how come ? do you mean the christians say that God did not create the evil?? who created it in their opinion?? do they say it is Satan??
Allah created EVERYTHING , everything means everything ...
you said

I can't see any perfection in this view, if as they said that Allah creates only the good, and as you see sometimes in this world Evil is stronger than Good, does it mean that Evil is stronger than God? ofcourse not, If He is weak than he would be created, and this is IMPOSSIBLE.
In the Christian perspective it is impossible for a disagreement to arise between Father, Son and Holy Spirit and they are always of one good accord. This is exemplified by the prayer of Jesus in the Garden of Gesthemene accepting His Father's will for the cross. They are as much one as ice (the Father), water (the Son, the "living water") and steam (Spirit) are all manefestations of H20.
Two gods capable of both good and evil could at times be antithetical. But the argument makes no sense to a Christian. Can you reformulate it so that it would?
My friend challenger, Allah sent all prophets with one message. This is the only acceptable way. If Allah had sent as some people claim different religions with different prophets, how would one know who to follow? How would one know what's right and what's wrong. Hence, all the prophets came with one religion Islam. You see...to be a Muslim does not mean only to follow prophet Muhammad, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, it means following all the prophets. All prophets came and taught people that there was only one God and that they were the prophets of God.
Adam came and said there is no God but Allah and Adam is the prophet of Allah. Jesus came and said there is no God but Allah and Jesus is the prophet of Allah, and Muhammad came and said there is no God but Allah and Muhammadd is the prophet of Allah.
Now , what is the difference?. ...The difference is that some of the rules are different. For example, at the time of Jesus (may Allah raise his rank) it was an obligation to pray twice, but at the time of Prohet Muhammad (may Allah raise his rank), it became obligatory to pray five times.
My friend, Everything that exists, except Allah, the Creator, is created by Him. Allah has full power over every bit of His creation. Allah is not created; He existed always, having His attributes; He will never perish, nor will His attributes diminish. Among His attributes is that He has knowledge of all His creation, that He sees the seeable and that He hears the hearable, and His knowing, seeing and hearing are in no way similar to ours. Allah speaks and His Speech is not made up of language or sound, nor does it resemble the speech of man in any way. He does not need any of His creation for His existence and He does not resemble any of His creation in any way. This means that Allah is not a man or a woman; He is not "a Father" or "a Mother". He does not have a wife, a mother, a father, a son, or a daughter; He has no equal or partner. Allah does not divide into parts; no creation, including man, has "a part of Allah" in him, nor can any creation become like Allah. He is the only God.
Allah existed eternally before He created any place, such as Paradise (Heaven), the skies, earth, or any planets. Hence, we know He is now as He was before He created all these places; He does not need any place to exist in. Allah has always known about every bit of His creation; there is no thing in His creation which escapes or defeats Him. No thing goes against the will of Allah. Both good and evil occur by His Will. However, Allah orders humans to do only the good; humans make the choice to obey or disobey Allah. Our ability to do good or evil is given to us by Allah, the Exalted.
