Plz come again after reading the following........
If you really wish to know about Islam, you must study history and Islam side by side.
What Islam says and how history confirms it.
What caused expension of Islam ?
" The phenominal success of Islam was primarily due to its revolutionary significance and its ability to lead the masses out of the hopeless situation created by the decay of antique civilisations not only of Greece and Rome but of Persia and China and of India."--[The Historic Role of Islam, by M.N.Roy,Foreword,Vora & Co.8 Round Building, Bombay-2]
Vem'bery says, " Islam is still the most democratic religion in the world, a religion favouring both liberty and equality. If there ever was a constitutional government it was that of the first Caliphs. "--Vem'bery, La Turquie d'aujard'hui et d'vant Quarante Aus.pg-58 ]
1. [][][][] ISLAM IS NOT A NEW RELIGION [][][][]
" Say : We believe in God and in what has been revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham and Ismael and Issac and Jacob and the tribes and in that which was given to MOSES and JESUS and in that which was given to all prophets from their Lord. WE MAKE NO DISTINCTION BETWEEN ANY OF THEM
and to Him do we submit." ---The Quran.
"...Thus Islam appeared, not as a new religion, but as revival of pure Abrahamic monotheism, purified as one of the accretions of Judaism and Christianity and superseding them as the final revelation."--[Vem'bery, La Turquie d'aujard'hui et d'vant Quarante Aus. pg-44]
2. [][][][] BROTHERHOOD in ISLAM [][][][]
" We have not sent thee , O Mohammad, but [as] a mercy unto all creatures."-- The Quran,[xxi, p-326]
" And my mercy encompasseth all things." The quran,[ 7:156]
" O you men, surely we have created you of a male and a female and made you tribes and families that ye may know each other."--The Quran,[ 49:13 ]
" Who is the most favoured of Allah ? He from whom greatest good comes to his creatures."--The Quran
" All his creatures are Allah's family for thier subsistance is from him, therefore the most beloved of Allah is the person who does greatest good to Allah's creatures."--The Quran
These teachings were truely followed by the Muslims as History indicates........
"....when Jerusalem capitulated to Khalif Omer, the inhabitants of the vanquished city were left in possesion of thier worldly goods, and allowed the freedom of worship. A special quarter of the city was allotted for the residence of Christian population with thier Patriarch and his clergy."--[Rise and Fall of Roman Empire- GIBBON]
"We have never heard about any attempt to compel Non-Muslim parties to adopt Islam or about any organized persecution aiming at exterminating Christianity. If the Caliphs had chosen one of these plans, they would have wiped out Christianity as easily as what happened to Islam during the reign of Ferdinand and Isabella in Spain; by the same method which Louis XIV followed to make Protestantism a creed whose followers were to be sentenced to death; or with the same ease of keeping the Jews away from Britain for a period of three hundred fifty years."--(Thomas Arnold in 'The Call to Islam.')
3 .[][][][] JUSTICE in ISLAM [][][][]
" Make peace among them with justice and act equitably, surely Allah loves those who act equitably."--The Quran [49:9]
This is also backed by History.........
.
The critical Gibbon coclusively proves that, "...to his Christian subjects, Mohammad readily granted security of thier persons, the freedom of thier trade, the property of thier goods and the toleration of thier worship. This profitable principle of toleration was observed with more or less strictness, not only by all the immediate successors of the Prophet, but over the whole period of Arabic ascendency."--[Rise and Fall of Roman Empire- GIBBON]
4. [][][][] TOLERANCE in ISLAM [][][][]
"And if anyone of the idolaters seeketh thy protection (O Muhammad), then protect him so that he may hear the word of God, and afterward convey him to his place of safety. "(The Qur’an 9:6)
Now what History says..............
" He himself [the prophet] gave letters of security and protection to the Jews and Christians in Arabia and never used any violence to them upon the account of religion."--[ An Account of The Rise And Progress of Mahometanism with the life of Mahomet- by HENRY STUBBE, M.A. of Christ Church- Oxford, From a manuscript copied by Charles Hornby of Pipe office in 1705, London,Luzac & Co. 1911, pg- 142-143]
5. [][][][] Respect for other religions [][][][]
" Say : We believe in God and in what has been revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham and Ismael and Issac and Jacob and the tribes and in that which was given to MOSES and JESUS and in that which was given to all prophets from their Lord. WE MAKE NO DISTINCTION BETWEEN ANY OF THEM and to Him do we submit." ---The Quran
6.[][][][] Islam is the most practical religion [][][][]
"Fight in the cause of God those WHO FIGHT YOU, but do not transgress limits; for God loveth not transgressors. (The Noble Quran, 2:190)"
"But if the enemy incline towards peace, do thou (also) incline towards peace, and trust in God: for He is One that heareth and knoweth (all things). (The Noble Quran, 8:61)"
"And if anyone of the idolaters seeketh thy protection (O Muhammad), then protect him so that he may hear the word of God, and afterward convey him to his place of safety. "(The Qur’an 9:6)
"[2:190-192] And fight in the cause of Allah with those WHO FIGHT WITH YOU, and do not exceed the limits, surely Allah does not love those who exceed the limits. And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from where they drove you out, and persecution is severer than slaughter, and do not fight with them at the Sacred Mosque (in Makkah) UNTILL THEY FIGHT WITH YOU in it, but if they do fight you, then slay them; such is the reward of the unbelievers. But if they desist, then surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. And fight with them until there is no persecution, and religion should be only for Allah, but if they desist, then there should be no hostility EXCEPT AGAINST THE OPPRESSORS."
These instructions exactly correspond with the International law. And every nation and every person or set of people has the right to self defence and to defend his/their property.-----as per law of the land.
You are not a free thinker but you have digested the things which you were given to eat.
Plz. open your windows so that you can see other's perspective too.
Thankyou...........

1) The world was in dark ages, there were no limit for duty, ladies were killed as witches, court cases were solved by real wrestlers fighting, people were getting salt in their monthly wages as salary, only Baghdad, Spain and Turkish coins were used. Then this sunnah and hadith came as light for all the world and brought it upto this level.
2) Prophet Mohammad is the last prophet for all the world while all other prophets were sent only to their nations. Even Jesus himself has claimed that he is sent to the sheep of Israel.
3) Muslim are not following old customs. Islam was first voice against ignorance and old false rites.
Muslim are already successful having a big nation of 57 countries and a very big proportion all other countries. Last year 16000 chinese came for Haj in Makkah leave all other nations aside. That is why Napolean announced that very soon he will make laws of Quran in Europe. And learned Bernard Shaw said ":"He must be called the Savior ofHumanity. I believe that if a man like him were to assume the dictatorship ofthe modern world, he would succeed in solving its problems in a way that wouldbring it much needed peace and happiness".(The Genuine Islam,Singapore, Vol.1, No.8, 1936)

This is getting crazier every time.
Go ahead, join the new world order if you want. You say you are sick so it won't last very long for you anyway will it?
I care more about the hereafter than the here and now.
Islam isn't a threat to the world. Intolerance is.

Even as a former muslim you believe you have the right to prevent non muslim's from being involved in the rights and wrongs of muslim faith.
There is only one answer that will allow us all to get on, that is to show RESPECT and stop thinking it is ok to kill.

Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim - In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
I've seen your postings before and it always saddens me to see a Muslim abandon the faith of Islam. It is a tragedy to see someone turn her face from the Mercy of Allah in the name of "freethinking". It sounds as if you have had a bad experience with Islam and have decided to "throw the baby out with the bath water". Instead of realizing the truth of the Message and the flaws of the Muslims, you have decided that bad Muslim equals bad Islam. This is actually not a freethinking point of view but rather an anti-intellectual one, as to condemn a whole religion, race, ethnicity, or other group on the basis of some individuals is bigoted.
I pray that Allah guides you to the truth. Know that there is no God but Allah and Muhammad, peace be upon him, was His final Prophet and Messenger. Remember the hadith qudsi:
Hadith Qudsi 15:
On the authority of Abu Harayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Prophet (PBUH) said: Allah the Almighty said:
I am as My servant thinks I am (1). I am with him when he makes mention of Me. If he makes mention of Me to himself, I make mention of him to Myself; and if he makes mention of Me in an assembly, I make mention of him in an assemble better than it. And if he draws near to Me an arm's length, I draw near to him a fathom's length. And if he comes to Me walking, I go to him at speed.
It was related by al-Buhkari (also by Muslim, at-Tirmidhi and Ibn-Majah).
I pray that Allah guides you to that which is best in this world and the next.
Fi Aman Allah,
Nancy Umm Abdel Hamid

I think you are a great liar.
If you do not get the reality, the reality will get you soon!
The real danger to the world is the Capitalism which is being promoted by zionists in the name of New World order!
Think again....
