hello
hi
Simple, Easy and Calm - Peace
Dear people,
Whatever u say against Islam is not true. Islam is a religion of peace and tranquility. God has sent many prophets from Adam, Noah, Moses, Jesus, Mohammad (Peace be upon them) for the guidance of mankind. All prophets preached the oneness of God. So did the prophet Mohammad(Peace be upon him). God sent many books like Torah, Bible, and Quran in which He showed signs of His Oneness. Only those people who fear and love God can benefit from His book.
My humble request is to not see what others are doing but see what is written in the book of God. A person who does not know how to drive a car makes an accident, we cannot blame the car. Similarly the driver of Islam may not be good but the car Islam is like the best car in the world.
If you meet an Islamic scholar who obeys God by visiting Mosque 5 times daily, then you will know what Islam teaches.
In every religion there are people who misunderstood what their religious scriptures said or asked them to do.
So why blame Islam alone? If you have any questions regarding Islam then you can ask Dr. Zakir Naik (search in youtube for his lectures if you don't know him).
Comment for Larry of GA Nov 19, 2008 18:36:34
I am a Christian from Pakistan.and was extreamly happy after reading Larrys comment on christianityVS,Islam and the greatness in his comment that (Jesus preached love for you neighbor AND your enemies. Christianity is thereforebased on LOVE. No christians arent perfect,..theyre just people)
I look forward to that day when each american will feel this way.As what I belive for the Mother hood nature of America God wants America to rool the whole world.May God continue in blessing America and its citizens.
and the day must come when all will have the thinkings like Larry of GA.
aA strong faith Paki Christian.in His blood and body we are one either Paki or Americans
Too much Fox news
What is wrong with some of you people. I have never read so much hate directed at muslims. You guys have been watching too much Fox news. If you really thought Islam is all about hate, then don't you think we'd have a bigger problem on our hands. There are more than one billion muslims in the world, if they all started Jihad then I'm pretty sure we'd notice. The fact that only about one percent (if that) are pursuing Jihad against the west is a testament to the people of Islamic faith. Why don't you guys get your own opinions rather than reading right wing columns and blogs. The fact that I will be leaving for Afganistan in a few months time defending people like you makes me SICK. But hey its a free country I guess, I want to fight for my democratic values so people like you can make racist, ill-informed and bigoted comments on sites like these! You guys wouldn't know what democracy is if it hit you the face!!!!!! MORONS!!!!
Islam vs. Christianity
What is wrong with people?! Jesus preached love for you neighbor AND your enemies. Christianity is thereforebased on LOVE. No christians arent perfect,..theyre just people ,..making mistakes daily but trying to live by Jesus' example.
Muslims on the other hand are directed and feel obligated to kill ALL non believers! Make no mistake people,..They HATE you! They dont know you but because you an American, or a Jew or a Christian They HATE you and want you wiped from the earth. I never knew much about islam growing up. I simply thought everyone (different religions) believed in their own idea of the same God and the only bad people were the Atheists and the people determined to hurt or cause harm to others. But now I have learned there are people that hate me that dont even know me,..WOW! Do I hate them? NO,...I feel sorry for them just like i do for racists and other predjudiced peoples. I DO find it hard to understand, and Yes ,..I will most certainly protect myself and my family if need be! And the liberal, anti-american,anti-second amendment crooks in our govt( we ALL know who they are!)need to wake up! Quit trying to steal from working families pockets, Take away our rights to protect ourselves, and let us worship our Lord as all creation was meant to!Every day we taxed further into poverty, our basic rights eroded just a little more,...and to think its all based on greed and the desire for controlling power......
"islamic" issue is economic,stupid
sorry for the "stupid";it's just to keep the popular format
poverty breeds extremism - hope for your children's future breeds moderation
anyone talking about "false gods" is a part of the problem as they are now putting their beliefs over others - gasoline in the fire
taliban can go to hell for all i care - maybe they will, who really knows (only dead men). The only reason we would care is that they gave shelter to the people that bombed new york. i was stationed on governor's island off the tip of manhattan and used to stand and stare at the trade centers - never mind pouring burning jet fuel onto secretaries. scum of the earth.
pakistan is a seething cauldron of haters (not everyone, of course, but a bunch to be sure - read the news). this has been funded by lots of money from saudis - read the news. this money has come from ...us - read the news.
oil, people. stop burning it or screw the world. it's getting more and more plain.
shall we go into climate change?
or useless wars started by lying politicians who worked for Big Oil?
or the funneling of moneys and power around the globe to those who would do us harm?
maybe control of nations' fortunes by the greedy few (can you spell "rothschild")?
there are better ways and they are starting to manifest themselves in spite of the efforts by those leaders with personal fortunes (heavy on the fortunes) reliant upon the petroleum trade. hydrogen made from solar energy and stored in nano-structure alloys offer one of many emerging answers.
if you really hate al quaida, support those who support a decentralized way of making energy. the world will change.
i'm an engineer at a company that is revolutionizing the cost of manufacturing solar panels.
decentralize energy and decentralize power = more freedom for all
thanks for your time and consideration. it's important.

Taliban
Wake up America, this IS THE ENEMY! Islam is a violent, woman-hating religion with a false prophet. Their own Koran allows them to lie to unbelievers as long as it's done in defense of their so-called faith! There are NO moderate Muslims, only those who cannot shoot straight.PS. Remember the silence of the Muslim moderates after 9/11? Forget the 'Kumbaya" version of the world, they have made themselves our enemies, period.
Don't worry, Charles Eberhart (below), your president elect has way more kahunas than you think (or than Bush did) when it comes to Al Qaeda and The Taliban.
As for talking to the Taliban, fine. Talk to them. Then, after their next beheading, stoning or acid on schoolgirls stunt, SHOOT EVERY LAST ONE DEAD AS A DOORNAIL. They will not "moderate", but killing them off will be a relief to the others of Islam who WANT to moderate.
Taliban=Cowards
I'm with Mr. Montgomery.Send in some special forces units to take care of business.These Taliban Sob's are nothing but bullying sanctimonious cowards.Recently they have threatened our President-elect.I didn't vote for him but I hope and pray he has the balls to stand up to these fanatics.At least Bush could do that.Also recently they have "asked" the Afghan govt to not execute Taliban prisoners on death row.Am I missing something here?The Taliban are just recently wanting to "talk" as well.I believe they are in a corner more than ever and they are trying to buy time.If Obama doesn't pursue their extermination, 9/11 will be nothing to what they will do next.
