but we will not be pushed around and asked to turn into something else, we will not bow to the powers of evil that your government represent.
There you have it. Like it or not, someone has to stop your terrorism, the only true one... we have been living peacefully for a long time, until you guys wanted to come to our land and steal our things... because we do not accept this like little lambs that bow to your god money, you call us terrorists etc... the truth is we have courage and faith, endless amounts of both. Whether you like it or not, you have two problems.

That is a post from a muslim here. One major problem. She says, they lived in peace for a long time.....there has NEVER been peace in the middle east. NEVER.

Answer 1

Noone, not even muslims can honestly say that.

Or, they will, and then the next post threaten you. LOL

Answer 2

People get killed too if they question your government, and there is no in the name of God there.
Our religion forbids to kill innocents, but calls for Justice. It is the religion of peace, it is the religion of love and fear of Allah, great respect that other religions have seemed to forget for our Creator, but we will not be pushed around and asked to turn into something else, we will not bow to the powers of evil that your government represent.

ps: for your information, I am a converted Muslim, raised in the same culture you live in, and becoming a Muslim was a conscious decision, the best I ever made, and I thank God every day for it, because I have regained my values...

Answer 3

Anyone who converts to another religion from Islam is as good as dead anyway because he is going to go to hell as Allah has ordained.
Arranged marriages have in Somalia have nothing to do with Islam and why are you blaming Islam for the murder of theo van gogh? The guy who murdered him wasnt following Islamic teachings, he was deluded.
Do you know the unmentioned torture that the russians impose on the Chechnyans? How they have killed women and children that have never been mentioned in the biased news of the BBC? For countless numbers of years how the muslims in eastern europe have been massacred? Remember Bosnia?
Please get a life, impossible for you I presume since you are so intent on proving Islam wrong that you never will. So it would be better if you got a life.
Hope my answer helped.

Answer 4

Not smart,
It is nice to know your story. But I feel bad that people like me has no power to help find the change that you want. I think you know what is really happening to this world. People finding each others faults and weaknesses and attack them through their owm fallibility. I know that we are doomed, the world is doomed because of human selfishness backed by reason and logic. Reason is good if it is used for the benefit of mankind and logic is good in if it reinforces and maintains human reason to be reasonable. But if you look around you, human reasons are used to oppress, kill, maim and steal and find those who advocate peaceful ways helpless. But I am telling you that this is not heaven anyway, so i myself is expecting the worst. People say that their religion is peace by way of their mouths but their peace is a treacherous one. I, a Christian will never do that to you and to others and I will fight for my right standing. I know that there were Christian governments who faltered in their ways but those mistakes are not Christianbased but decisions made by a nation's leader who happened to be Christian and their soldiers are Christians. I do not condone their acts but if you look deeper, you will really see what's inside a christian's heart. So given that situation, the most that we can do is be watchful and stand for our rights as long as we still have strength to do so.

Answer 5

Well, I am a Catholic, so the only thing that I can say is that no religious fanatism has to be allowed to kill only because they don't think as you.

Every religion speaks about love, and harmony. As Christ said, speaking about pharisees to his disciples, He told them should do as they say, but not as they do, for they act only to get recognition of people.

If they involved in the Yihad, we involved in the Crusades and in the Inquisition, but those are things of the past, for the real God, whatever His/Her name, wants harmony for every human being, and I am sure that religions are not relevant there at Paradise.

Answer 6

I thought all you crazy crusaders quit when the enemy general, Saladin (a muslim) spared the very 3.000 men who had been brutally slaughtering him family for the past decade. Islam IS a path to peace. YOU YOU YOU are a path to HYPOCRISY! You are no Christian, and I know you not!

Answer 7

Muslims is the Middle East want to see the USA collapse and rule over it

Answer 8

I've just begun reading the Qur'an. If I became muslim, would I be prosecuted for that? For loving God?

Answer 9

As it is written yes I do believe its a religion of peace,love and tolerance. But the way some people practice it ,no,....it is far different . Its so sad too.

Answer 10

Let me ask a very simple question here:

If the following statement from the Quran is true, then why the violence against those who are not muslims?

Quran 2:256

Let there be no compulsion in religion:

What gives muslims the right to invade my home and privacy, kill people and torture them and take over their land?

Why is there force in islam if the above quote is true?

Well I lived a life that is very clear to me now. What I have learnt is that the muslims say one thing and yet do another. They are not to be trusted about matters of faith as they are fanatical in their beliefs and do not care about other human beings who are not muslims.

Islam is a faith that was brought into the world by the Prophet who was given the message by Allah.

It started in Mecca and flourished by using the sword. All those who did not believe in his teachings, were either slaughtered or evicted from the middle east. Muslims then started forcing everyone else into believing this faith.

The prophet of Islam who is the messenger of Allah, (not my GOD), married his own nephew's wife and then married others and then a little girl called Aisha. He was in his fifties when he married a 6 year old girl and took her to bed. He had several wives and concubines. He was the messenger of Allah coming to change the world and he had this kind of a life.

This is islam.

I am not a muslim. I was forced into Islam at the age of 6. I was tortured all my life to believe in their ways only to the limit that I became a zombie. The torture started extremely when I became 20. When I finally could not take it anymore and I realised that someone in my family could get killed from it, I left.

It was hard. A long journey of loneliness and anger and frustration. I could not believe why the world was so cruel. No one wanted to take a stand against this situation.

I was scared a lot of times but most times just angry. Even today I face the same problems. No one really wants to take a stand.

Islam went to my country india in the 7th century to trade. Like the prophet used to. But the arab culture is about looting. They were looters of property, not traders. They came to India and traded in slaves. They saw this very pious society that believed in idol worship and started slaughtering and looting.

History has recorded that they looted most of the gold and silver and tore down 60% of the old temples. They burnt sanskrit literature and destroyed anything they thought went against islam.

They then started ruling these pious people as Hindus do not kill. Muslims then started charging the hindus a tax for being in their own country which tax made the mughal empire and made the then nomadic tribes rich.

Oil had not been found yet.

The religious and cultural structure of india was slowly eroded and torture, rape, and looting carried on. The british came and saw what was happening and did the same.

Sixty years ago Mahatma Gandhi fought the British and got independence from the British. At that time, when the struggle was going on, the muslims vowed to be with the hindus in the struggle and called hindus their brothers.

As soon as the british agreed to vacate india, the muslims rose and started a divide between India and Pakistan. When the division of India took place, the slaughter started in Pakistan by muslims. THey sent home trains full of slaughtered bodies ofhindus and sikhs who were trying to leave pakistan and come to india. One million people were killed.

Pakistan was taken from india because the muslims wanted their own state. But they do not own india. India is a hindu country. Looting again. Then Bangladesh.

In 1971, pakistan started killing the muslims of Bangladesh. Genocide occurred and nearly 3 million people were killed.
Indira Gandhi, the then prime minister of India went around the world telling everyone one of the milions of refugees migrating into India from Bangladesh. In fact it was almost 9 million people that India was feeding and clothing.

Do you know what happened? The U.S. A. which was an ally of Pakistan, supplying arms for the wars, and making money, decided to attack India and finish it. On the north side, china was told to get ready to attack india, (China had started occupying indian land) and on the west, Pakistan and from the south, the United States would come and destroy India.

Not just that. Lord Krishna, GOD of Hindus, birth place was looted and destroyed by the muslims 4 times during the mughal empire. India having been a very rich country had gold and pearls and gems in all their temples.

Today the greatest evidence of their treachery is the birthplace of the lord. The muslims destroyed the temple the last time and using the same stone and the same place, built their mosque which stands now where the birth place of lord Krishna is.

This is islam.

Even today, they eat off our tax money, live on our land and call us kaffirs. They have brought poverty to our people, and changed our culture. They have broken Hinduism's back.

That is islam.

What amazes me today is that muslims have to learn islam when they are 6-7 years old. In this world, muslims have very high positions and standing in society. Doctors, lawyers, psychiatrists, professors, businessmen and worldly men and women. Until people started knowing about me and what was happening to me, no one was even questioning the muslims becuase they invoke fear in everyone. I had not seen one muslim rise and say what we are doing or what we have done is wrong and the rights of others should be reinstated until I came on the scene. Even now Pakistan blackmails India and the world watches. Even now muslims force me to accept them as normal people and I refuse to be nice to them.


This is islam.

Answer 11

Yes it is. I believe Islam is religion of peace and tolerance when you read and undertand the message of Qur'an.
