In my culture, we have a way of giving advice. It goes like this:
"I advice myself before I advice you"
Each advice we give, we say this. It is just to not let us turn into hypocrites or infect ourselves with ignorant and arragonce. So why don't we try this out? When giving advice we say "I advice myself before I advice you, it's wrong to judge others."
There's no harm in trying, we can turn into better people. More humble, more intelligent, less ignorant and so much more.
There's nothing wrong with trying this out, so why don't you give it a go? Love and peace?

CJ, it doesn't have to be this way. I'm a Muslim myself and I have read the Qu'ran, as in the original book myself. Not a translated version, not the short verse version, the full thing. There is no obvious violence in it, the only violence it speaks of were during times of war.
If George Bush Sr. said "Kill all the Vietnamese", that would make him a butcher, right?
But if you see that the time was during a war, then it makes sense. He was encouraging his men to be not afraid to do battle.
Why can't we all accept the light of tolerance and open mindedness? Why does it matter so much to prove each other wrong?
Did we forget that we are only mere humans, that only God is absolute? How can we in our arragonce say that we are absolute?
Can't we all just get along?

That certainly is an interesting way of looking at it. It is true, many of us give others valid, well meaning counsel, but when it comes down to it, would we follow it ourselves? When we are facing a delemma what would we tell someone else in a similar situation? Would we take our own advice? It does make one think about the whole "Do as I say not as I do" philosophy of the hypocritical, doesn't it?

Wouldn't that be nice?
Unfortunately, Muslims are dictated by the Qu'ran, and the Ha'dith. When you read the hate filled words inside of those books, you will see why there will not be peace between us. Until they renounce the writings of Muhammad, they will continue to try to make the world, Islamic.
I would love a peaceful world. But that will never come to be until Christ returns. And that will certainly be soon.

Sort of like do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Unfortunately, we can't turn our other cheek any more. The first slap could leave us without another cheek to turn.
