I think we should ask questions.... As this is how Hazrat Ibrahim A.S has founded the True Lord, Allah SWT... I think we should ask questions as this is the sign of healthy and smart Muslim, for how can a we defend and propagate our own religion if we aren't clear about our own points of views... Following something is just like robotically doing a job while knowing the purpose and soul of that something will only make us more productive, persistent and thankful...
Well, I believe that all commandments of Allah are logical and are there for a reason ...If a person is trying to find a fault in it means that either he doesn't want to accept Islam or he just want to know more about Islam as Islam itself is very attractive... And most of the Non-Muslims did have accepted the magnificence of Islam and even re-converted ,by the method of 'Questioning' and surely Allah gives the answers and Hedayah if a person really wants to know... So may Allah grant us Hedayah..
Sorry but by no mean I want to prove u wrong or anything like that...
I think u took me bit wrong. What I actually meant to say was asking for logics and looking for arguments when we already know that it is wrong. We look for logics, we try to find faults for the things we dont want or like to do even of we know kei those things are forbidden in the teachings f Islam.

The storms of our life are similar to the real ones that strike the earth. They blow away anything not anchored solidly (through Iman) or not strong enough to stand against the wind (Allah’s decree). If we don't find shelter (in Him), we are flooded with thoughts and emotions and can drown in them. If we do find shelter and bow down to His decree, we are cleaner than before. Stroms expose our vulnerabilities and weaknesses, giving us a change for redemption. Storms often attack our pride the greatest. The high and pointy things are struck first and inshaAllah, the storm gives us a chance to humble ourselves before our Creator. There is a way to have peace during and after the storm. That peace lies in submitting to As-Salaam. - Yasmin Mogahed.

chishtyguy , one of the major issues regarding which the Qur'an has criticised the Jews is that they were bent on asking too many questions and thereby making God's Shari`ah more and more difficult to abide by. (Al-Baqarah 2: 67 - 71, 108)

"And [recall] when Moses said to his people, "Indeed, Allah commands you to slaughter a cow." They said, "Do you take us in ridicule?" He said, "I seek refuge in Allah from being among the ignorant.

They said, "Call upon your Lord to make clear to us what it is." [Moses] said, "[ Allah ] says, 'It is a cow which is neither old nor virgin, but median between that,' so do what you are commanded.

They said, "Call upon your Lord to show us what is her color." He said, "He says, 'It is a yellow cow, bright in color - pleasing to the observers

They said, "Call upon your Lord to make clear to us what it is. Indeed, [all] cows look alike to us. And indeed we, if Allah wills, will be guided

He said, "He says, 'It is a cow neither trained to plow the earth nor to irrigate the field, one free from fault with no spot upon her.' " They said, "Now you have come with the truth." So they slaughtered her, but they could hardly do it."

I guess 1357911 referred to asking such questions that are of no benefit to us.
And, asking questions to clarify misconceptions or seek knowledge are highly encouraged.
So you were referring to the latter, i guess?
