This is aimed at those who claim that Muslims see them as nonhuman, as animals (even though Islam does not say this). What do you think of the fact that the RELIGION itself teaches to be kind to all living things, and not to kill them? Some of you state this, so what do you think of the fact that you've been refuted by the religion itself?
""Are there rewards for doing good to quadrupeds, and givng them water to drink?" Muhammad said, "Verily there are heavenly rewards for any act of kindness to a live animal."
Verily God hath one hundred loving kindnesses; one of which he hath sent down amongst man, quadrupeds, and every moving thing upon the face of the earth: by it they are kind to each other, and forgive one another; and by it the animals of the wilds are kind to their young; and God hath reserved ninety-nine loving kindnesses by which he will be gracious to His creatures on the last day."

"An adultress passed by a dog at a well; and the dog was holding out his tongue from thirst, which was near killing him, and the woman drew off her boot, and tied it to the end of her garment, and drew water for the dog, and gave him to drink; and she was forgiven for that act."

I can't help myself, Muslimah, I have to kill mosquitoes. They spread disease and serve no worthwhile purpose.
Anything else I allow to live, and if it's in my home I remove it safely and without harm. I live-trap mice, much to my children's' amusement. I wouldn't allow my sons to participate in the 6th grade bug collection, requesting instead that they write reports. Their teachers weren't happy, but that's just how it is.
I became a vegetarian years ago, I don't use products that have been tested on animals, don't wear leather or fur, etc. I was once kicked out of the local supermarket for protesting the customers who were buying tuna. This was before the "dolphin safe" days.

I know very little about the Muslim religion. Muslims claim it is a "kind" religion. You also say that it is.
I see the Arab countries killing each other and foreigners just for the thrill of killing. I see oppressed women who can be stoned to death or thrown away like trash.
All these "kind" men do it in the name of Allah.
Most Muslims will not say it is wrong and to stop doing these bad things. Why don't you good believers start speaking out against the terrible things some Muslims are doing?

I try to be kind to everything. However you claim islam to be a kind religion? I understand this quote is from the hadith and not the koran but still the hadith is accepted by the majority of muslims. Explain how this is kind?
The Day of Resurrection will not arrive until the Muslims make war against the Jews and kill them, and until a Jew hiding behind a rock and tree, and the rock and tree will say: 'Oh Muslim, Oh servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him

The only living creature I will kill is mosquitoes...but they are our state bird, so it is acceptable. :P
No, really, I'm a vegetarian and I won't kill any insects except those pesky blood drinkers. I would be fine with the blood drinking, its the pain and irritation afterwards that makes them an ok target. :)

maximum atheists do no longer likely think of roughly that form of element. Obsessing over something which could no longer be primary looks form of pointless to me. and actually none of that truly has ever promoted me nor positioned a meal on the table. And no, faith does no longer look "absurd" to me. whilst it relatively is incomprehensible to me, i be responsive to that is no longer meaningless to others. maximum suitable actuality is subjective and what's "genuine" to somebody, won't be "genuine" to a distinctive in any respect.

As salaamu 'alaikym warahamtullahi wabaraktu, my friend.
It is wonderful how the truth is seen by all, despite difference in culture, language and location.
Truth is truth.
This is the path of Buddhism.
How we treat any other is how we treat ourselves as all are one. Separation is an illusion.
Ma'a salaam.
may you be well.
