Ghandi was a well read man who spoke from an educated perspective as opposed to believing false stereotypes.I just wish more people out there would learn more about the truth of Islam like Ghandi.

Mahatma Gandhi, speaking on the character of Muhammad, (pbuh) says in (Young India):
"I wanted to know the best of one who holds today's undisputed sway over the hearts of millions of mankind....I became more than convinced that it was not the sword that won a place for Islam in those days in the scheme of life. It was the rigid simplicity, the utter self-effacement of the Prophet, the scrupulous regard for his pledges, his intense devotion to this friends and followers, his intrepidity, his fearlessness, his absolute trust in God and in his own mission. These and not the sword carried everything before them and surmounted every obstacle. When I closed the 2nd volume (of the Prophet's biography), I was sorry there was not more for me to read of the great life."

I think islam is protected by Allah (God) who created us and everything on the earth to worship ,and believe me when i say that muslims are not terrorists or killer but they protect themselves againest enemy who hates islam, and i want to say that islam is the last religion sent to the human being and everyone must believe on it,because it is the God's willing. do you know that muslims and islam are protected by Allah (God) and his angels (soldiers) till the end of life.
If you have any question about islam you can ask me.
