I am writing this because i think this is bias and you are going completely opposite from your own words. If you truly believe in your "analysis" do accept this comment.<br />I have forcefully read this and honestly it just shows how ignorant you really are.<br />First of, to begin on the picture you used of the prophet's saying, "i have been made victorious through terror" <br />You must not know what he meant, obviously, and you have gone ahead to make your own assumptions without embarrassment. The prophet (p.b.u.h) endured too much torment, too much pain, he put his people first, he left everything he owned behind, he got threatened, he was disowned, he got stoned, he even participated in JIHAD, after tolerating all the boycotts and murders, surely, any man who gives himself for the world deserves more respect, why would you hate someone who wanted the best? He stopped so many evils, senseless killings, idle worship and mistreatment of females. <br />one thing people dont understand is that Muslims do not follow their intuition. They submit themselves to God. the God who created everything, unseen and seen. They follow a divine book which descended from God Himself, and Muhammad is merely his prophet, just like the ones before him, with a simple message.<br />Where we humans all go wrong is believing that we are superior, we think we are wise and we think we know a lot, but there are many things we can not explain. for instance, development of sperm to an embryo, to a human or the seed to a tree.<br />Islam is about believing that God is one, and He created everything in this universe. He created us, and we can not stop death, but He will resurrect us again. This life is but a test, and we all have hope. our duties here in this life is to search ourselves and come as one, make it a better place for the next generation and when we die, Allah will grant the right doers with pleasures words can not explain, and as for the wrong doers and people who mislead others, a painful torment awaits. May Allah have Mercy on us, May we be among the righteous. <br />Brothers and sisters, People will do anything to protect their ways of living. But there is beauty in searching truth, their is beauty and pleasure in finding God. Islam brings us closer to Allah. In prayer and in doing righteousness.<br /><br />i end by saying that the Religion is complete, and it is sincere, but human are to error. However, God doesn't make mistakes. There is a Book that has not been altered and it contains knowledge of all the other earlier books. The Quraan is a guide of life. If you really want true knowledge, do not go far, if you want to know about Islam remove all the negative perspectives and the embrace truth by accepting you might be wrong! only if you are pure, read the Quran, without pre judgement to it and you will find the salvation and truth, that will lead to happiness and peace, here and the here after.<br /><br />Salam Aleikum.A muslimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503986435514614182.post-79977347501303073402011-08-10T22:59:01.682-07:002011-08-10T22:59:01.682-07:00Nice job dude!

We are a nation of ‘Christians’ and Muslims, ‘Jews’ and ‘Hindus’ — and ‘non-believers.’ ”<BR/>AND:<BR/>“To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect.” <BR/>Just what kind of mutual interest and mutual respect can we there be with people who profess this? <BR/>Quotes from the Koran:<BR/>--The unbelievers are your inveterate enemy. (4:101)<BR/>-- Surely the vilest of animals in Allah’s sight are those who disbelieve. (8.55)<BR/>-- Mohammed is God's apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to the unbelievers but merciful to one another. (48:29). <BR/>-- It is unlawful for a believer to kill another believer, accidents excepted. (4:92)<BR/>-- Believers, take neither the Jews nor the Christians for your friends. (5:51)<BR/>-- Make war on them until idolatry shall cease and God's religion shall reign supreme. (8:40) <BR/>-- Fight against them until idolatry is no more and God's religion reigns supreme. (2:193) <BR/>-- The true believers fight for the cause of God, but the infidels fight for the devil. (4:76) <BR/>-- We will put terror into the hearts of the unbelievers. (3:151)<BR/> -- I shall cast terror into the hearts of the infidels. Strike off their heads, strike off the very tips of their fingers. (8:12)<BR/>Quotes from the sayings of mohammed:<BR/>Muhammad said to the Jews: "If you embrace Islam, you will be safe. You should know that the earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle, and I want to expel you from this land. “ <BR/>Sahih Bukhari [4:52:176] Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:<BR/>Allah's Apostle said, "You (i.e. Muslims) will fight with the Jews till some of them will hide behind stones. The stones will (betray them) saying, 'O 'Abdullah (i.e. slave of Allah)! There is a Jew hiding behind me; so kill him.' "<BR/><BR/>Mohammed said, "I have been ordered to fight with the people till they say, "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.." (otherwise it will not). Vol. 4:196 <BR/>Mohammed said, "Whoever changes his Islamic religion, kill him." Vol. 9:57 <BR/>Mohammed said, " No Muslim should be killed for killing a Kafir" (infidel). Vol. 9:50 <BR/>Muhammad said: <BR/>Fight in the name of Allah and in the way of Allah. Fight against those who disbelieve in Allah. Make a holy war, …(Sahih Muslim 4294)<BR/>YUSUF QARADAWI, the spiritual leader of the Muslim brotherhood and the most popular and influential Islamic religious authority in the world today, is on the recommended reading list of local mosques. Among other Islamist-supremacist things, he wrote:<BR/>“Islam came to be followed, not to follow; to be dominant, not subordinate." <BR/>“Islam came with its complete, comprehensive and eternal sharia (law) for the whole of mankind.”<BR/> ABUL MAUDUDI, the most important and popular Islamic writer of the 20th Century, wrote: “The goal of Islam is to rule the entire world and submit all of mankind to the faith of Islam. Any nation or power that gets in the way of that goal, Islam will fight and destroy.” <BR/>________________________________________<BR/>The statements about Islam above are from the most highly revered and respected Islamic sources, not from "Islamophobes"! <BR/>Does Obama agree with these statements? <BR/>Does he disagree with them? <BR/>Does he even know about them? <BR/>Isn't it part of his professional duties as president to know about Islam?wileysnakeskinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16631339433488990622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503986435514614182.post-15389500206030542302009-01-23T08:38:00.000-08:002009-01-23T08:38:00.000-08:00Moderate Muslims?

Any person who says their religion is the only one and is willing to make it compulsory by violence or silence about violence can not be called a good, decent or moderate Muslim.<BR/>I have worked with Muslims and when<BR/>cornered in conversation about this, they waffle. Here, in the West, it is hard to grasp that do not agree with freedom of the individual because Islam is the ultimate "large group submission cult" on the planet. It is their way or the highway. I used to think differently, but after years of working with both men and women Muslims, I know how it is.

The two meanings for the same phrase are on opposite ends of the spectrum.<BR/><BR/>I like your two questions, and I agree that someone may be decent, hardworking and all that, but still may be someone you wouldn't want to immigrate into your country.

I have two questions that determine who I am dealing with in this context. First, do you support the government of the U.S. above religious considerations and second<BR/>would you like to see Sharia Law<BR/>incorporated into the U.S. legal <BR/>system. If their answer to the first question is "no" and "yes" to the second then they may be decent, hard working and all that,<BR/>but not people I want in our country.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
