I want to hear your reply from your own words...not the Qu'ran. Why is it there is there has been so much war throughout time with your very own brothers (1400 yrs to be exact!) Why do adhere to all your laws, but refuse to love and accept your neighbor for who God created him to be? Why has there been so much death, brutality, and extremism your Islamic countries and yet you turn your back...or even affirm? Why?!? And why do you accept this treatment of your brothers....even if they aren't Islamic? Do you not understand what love is?

Thank you Ahmad, as you are the only legit answer at this moment....but still, this has been happening on a regular basis for 1400 yrs and Islam has been brutal to anyone who opposes and against even your own mother/sisters....how do you call this a religion of love?

Maria-there is no comparison of the standard of living of the Christian nations compared to the Islamic nations. And I do not equate Christianity with Cathlics or Protestant religion. But its as easy a "Christ is love and the Devil is not".
David Israel-No doubt. If Muslims really looked at their Qu'aran, they would see that it was their "guide" that was the one that was altered.
And poor Pokipoki.....you really think the rift between the Sunni and Shia' has only happened in the last century?!? It's been from day one, which is 1400 yrs ago! You need a good history lesson....

Thank you Mustafa, I do not know much about the Sufi, but believe there will be many who eventually meet our Creator, and it seems to me, you may be one! Peace to all our Brothers...whatever religion they may be.

why not the koran-ask a question dont tell what u can use to answer it
love is a concept perfected in Jesus-the Koran says he was born of a virgin but not the reason why and that he lived without sin. the purpose was so he could die as our lamb sacrifice for our sins as required by the law of God a sinless sacrifice- well the muslims have a problem with that so they rewrote the book-- Revelation 22nd chapter Jesus says if you add to my book or take out u will get plagues in your life and name taken out of going to heaven.
Jesus said to love your enemies as you love your self and to do good to them--also eridicated from the koran-when you got an enemy kill them-or cut their fingers off or whatever-they arent reall muslims-or they would do what Jesus sayt so do-to let him in the heart to forgive sins and deliver them---Revelation 3 vs 19&20 i as a Jew did that and became a true muslim-which has nothing to do with the lies of muslimism or Judaism today

Well, in reality, a small group of Muslims have always held on to the true Islam - love, compassion, peace, tolerance, understanding, unity, non-violence and all of the good and noble qualities of Muslims. They are called Sufis. This is because Sufis have always struggled to understand the deeper meaning of the Qur'an and the deeper, spiritual example of the Holy Prophet. People who skim the surface of Islam, do not allow it to penetrate their hearts and therefore they miss the point on Jihad-un-Nafs (the struggle against ones selfish desires). If people were to accept the message that Islam is about purification of the self first, then they would be peaceful, loving members of society and return to the noble station of the Sahaba. But you must also remember, there is a common enemy in this world: Satan. Satan work hard to create division amongst people and to destroy love. That is why everyone must work hard at self purification so Satan can not mislead us. May Allah protect us, guide us on the straight path and forgive us our sins. ameen!

UNFORTUNATELY people forgot the true meanings of the words and used terms from the Quran to justify killing for example the word " mischief in the land" let's take Iraq for instance.
what you are seeing in Iraq right now is mischief in the land created by the US troops who invaded Iraq.
when they made a deal with the Shiite militia (Al Mahdi militia) they created mischief because the Sunnis saw the Shiite as traitors and justified killing them.
furthermore, the war between the Shiite and Sunnis in Iraq now has absolutely nothing to do with religion. they are simply fighting over taking control of the government they forgot the religion and put the Quran behind them and focused on the gains and benefits that each party will get from being in control.
even the US officials know this and were just talking about it yesterday on meet the press.
yes there has been wars going on between the Arabs who can deny that! it's in the history books. but every war was not a religion based war they were ALL for personal gains and to expand territories.
those are people who are not practicing the words of God and ONLY God will judge them.
Arabs are hot blooded just like Italians they get ticked off easily but to criticize Islam as a religion you gotta look the teachings and not the people. because not ALL people who follow the same religion have the same level of understanding to those teachings therefore we can't put them ALL in the same category.
i hope this helps
peace be upon you brother.

There are differences in beliefs, although all are muslims, there are different sects who deal with issues in different ways, hence often creating conflict. It is like Christianity, where there are Protestants and Catholics groups to name but 2 of many. These 2 groups in particular have had conflicts for many years (i.e. N.Irleand).
It is because there is so much passion and love for God that people often go to such extremes to protect these values and beliefs at such costs.

muslims misread the Qu'ran... they ever tried to understand the beauty of Qu'ran... Islam born on barren land of dessert. frustration of survival & Inferiority complex led to such extent what we are experiencing now such as death to non-islam people... and this bin Laden thing...

It is not just Muslims, my brother.
It is just the nature of man who turn their back to religion.
A Muslim who adhere strictly to The Quran, will not act those way.
