I do not mean by asking questions, the question about how to grow with Islam…
I mean the question which has no answers…
For example:
Can any Muslim tell you why they directed to Kaaba while prying… why they did not directed to any other direction (north, west, east, etc) what is the point!? can any give you a logical reason or explain it!!!?
Can any Muslim tell you why he washes his hands, face, arms, etc…before praying…and why these parts only…why no less or no more…why he does not go for a shower instead!!!?
Why Muslims go for Hajj…, and why they tour around the Kaaba seven times, why not eight or nine or one or any other number???
A lot of questions, if you go behind your mind, you will end up with 2 ways either you become mad or atheist…
There is only one answer, “it is Allah’s order and it not questionable or negotiable, you perform it as it is, you have your mind mind to know how to perform it and do it the right way, not to debate or deny it and ask why???”
Explaining the Hadith is not related to the above question, and you can question how to follow and perform the Hadith, not why the Hadith wants me to do this or that…
In the sample of the BBC:
I am not claiming other gods here; I just explain how people become so willing and fearless to compare their creator with a man like them.

“Also, don't make the mistake of thinking that Islam is superior to Christianity. I don't think God/Allah would see it in those terms.”
In which part of my speech I implied this kind of thinking, I never judge religion by the behavior of their people…however do not deny that Christianity becomes very weaker or let's say Christianity followers become less in Europe and taken over by atheism.
Anyway, I am not in fight or contest with anyone or any religion and I like what you wrote “I think we should leave it to a higher authority (you know the one I mean)to make that determination.” It implies your religiosity.
BTW, there is a verse in Qurann with the same meaning, but I would not stated here as some get offended.
I have met a lot of Christians and Atheists even Jews and talked a lot with a full respect to each other. I believe sometimes people misunderstand the written words.
