Answer 1

In the centuries after Muhammad there have been periods when the Jews were able to live in relative peace under Arabs, but their position was never secure. They were generally viewed with contempt by their Arab neighbors, and their survival was always predicated on their abject subordination and degradation to them. Mass murders of Jewish "protected people" started in Morocco as early as the eighth century, where Idris I wiped out whole communities. A century later Baghdad's Caliph al-Mutawakkil designated a yellow badge for Jews (setting a precedent that would be followed centuries later in Nazi Germany), and synagogues were destroyed throughout Mesopotamia in 854-859. In Tripolitania, Jews were considered the property of their Arab masters, who would bequeath the Jews to their heirs upon death. In the 12th century, after anti-Jewish riots, the contemporaries commented that their population had 'greatly declined.' ( Middle East Digest, September 1999)

The Arabs, plain and simple, are not prepared to accept the presence of a Jewish state in their midst. They are therefore using the weapon of terrorism to attempt to destroy Israel and disperse the Israelis throughout the world.

To this end they have invented the "Palestinian People."

In fact, as David Basch wrote, "'Palestinians' [are an] Arab people no one heard of before 1967 before Israeli governments certified this piece of propaganda... As has been noted many times before, prior to 1948, that is before Jews had begun to call themselves Israelis, the only persons known as "Palestinians" were Jews, with the Arabs much preferring to identify themselves as part of the great Arab nation."

As to how to solve the problem, the only way would be for Israel to defeat the Arabs overwhelmingly, and then dictate the terms for peace. Otherwise, the Arabs will never stop trying to destroy Israel.

Answer 2

Many Muslims believe that they are not truly free until they are dead. It is sad, but true. Why on earth do some of them walk into crowded areas and explode themselves? You can't simply say Muslims don't do that. The Palestinians have been doing that. The Iraqis have been doing that. Some of the women in Muslim societies have been letting their children commit suicide because of Islam. You say people just hate Islam for no good reason. That's not true. There are real reasons why many people don't like Islam.

May i request everyone reading this thread to be Civil in their Language.
Now, Coming on to some of the allegations/misconceptions, i would advise you to ask someone who has knowledge about the subject. If your stereo is not working, you wouldnt go to a Heart Surgeon to get it fixed, will you?
For that purpose, i will direct you to a better source, one which is reliable. The Videos contain Public Lectures by a renowned speaker, Dr. Zakir Naik, who is a student of Comparative Religion, including Islam and Christianity.
I would recomend you to watch the video which says similarities between Christianity and Islam, and you would be amazed.

Answer 4

Islam may on the surface appear to set people free, but Jesus Christ who died for our sins is the only one who can set people free.

The God of Islam is a very capricious one, too far removed from people to be personally involved or concerned. Not only is he impersonal, but he also emphasized judgment to the exclusion of love, and he motivates people by fear rather than by grace.

Muhammad, the founder, has based his teaching on inaccurate and untrue interpretations of the Bible. There is no historical evidence to support Muhammad's contentions that either the Jewish or Christian scriptures have been corrupted. In addition, his teaching in the Qur’an is based on revelations which he initially believed were demonic in origin.

Islam is an aggressive and impressive world religion. It appeals to those who welcome a religious world view which permeates every facet of life. However, it is ultimately unfulfilling. The Islamic God of strict judgment, Allah, cannot offer the mercy, love, and ultimate sacrifice on mankind's behalf that the Christian God, incarnate in Jesus Christ, offers to each man even today.

Answer 5

By prostrating before God, Muslims declare that they bow to no other power. Islam forbids serfdom; promises universal freedom, independence in thought, action, property, and religion; and safeguards a person’s integrity, honor, and dignity.

Islam frees people from their lusts so that sensual pleasure does not tempt and corrupt them. Consuming intoxicants and engaging in sexual and moral permissiveness, gambling, nightclubs, mixed social activities, immoral movies, fornication, adultery, extramarital sex, pornography, overspending, conspicuous consumption, arrogance, greed, and so on are all humiliating factors that destroy a person’s honor and dignity

Answer 6

The peace of Islam will only exist if everyone is Muslim.. The freedom of Islam only exists if you submit your self to Islam... These statements dont make sense to me, but then again, I am not Muslim..

Allah said no force in the religion

Answer 9

Answer 10

Only Jesus has the power to set men free...

Muslims (and Islam) say Jesus was a prophet but they reject all His teachings ....that is hypocrisy.

They reject Christ's diety;
they deny his claim to be the Son of God;
they deny his death on the cross...
they deny His resurrection..
They deny Jesus is the Christ/ Messiah...
In fact, the Quran says : "Allah has no son".
Need I say more...?

Don't be deceived. The Islamic god is totally different than the God of Jesus Christ.

The Bible calls Muhammed and those like him false prophets:
"Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is anti-Christ, that denies the Father and the Son. He that denies the Son, the same has not the Father." (I John 2:22)
