48 All Muslims are not
terrorists. I am a Muslim and I am not fanatic and violent. I believe
deeply in peace, love and toleration between all peoples. And the Qur'an
is not "absolute darkness"
Of course all Muslims are not terrorists. This
is an absurd statement. My grandmother never missed a prayer but I am sure
she was a saint. I never met a woman as self-sacrificing, kind and loving
as that pure soul. Do you really believe I think my beloved nana was a
terrorist? I have met so many wonderful beings among Muslims that I met
nowhere. There is something especial about us Middle Easterners that one
cannot find anywhere else. Our hospitality is unmatched. We honor our
words. We are warm and friendly people. You visit the house of an Arab, a
Turk, an Afghan or a Persian and you are showered with so much love
unparalleled in any other part of the world. It takes an idiot to call
these people terrorists. You might have heard in the news when the
Americans were bombing Afghanistan the Afghans were shielding American
missionaries with their own bodies to make sure if there is a mishap they
are not harmed. Are these people terrorists?
Our people are not terrorists just because they are born in an Islamic
country and they think they are Muslims. Terrorists are those who follow
the teachings of Muhammad. Quran is a book that inspires its followers to
hate the non-believers, to kill them, subdue them and treat them as
second-class citizens. But not all Muslims follow what Quran teaches. The
majority of Muslims are not even aware of what Quran teaches or how
Muhammad lived.
Take your own example. You say that you are not a fanatical violent
person, you believe in peace, love and tolerance. Did you learn these
qualities by reading Quran or are they part of your own family and society
values? Let us see what Quran say:
3:28, Let not the
believers Take for friends or helpers Unbelievers rather than believers:
if any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah
Is this how you think about your Christian,
Hindu or atheist neighbors? Do you really reject the friendship of good
people just because they are not Muslims? If you answer in negative then
you are not really following the teachings of Quran even though you call
yourself a Muslim.
How about this teaching:
2:216, Fighting is
prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye
dislike a thing which is good for you
What do you say about this? Did you pack to go
to Afghanistan to fight in the Jihad called by the Taliban? Do you think
those who did that were wrong? Don’t you think teachings such as these
motivate some people to become Jihadis and kill innocent kafirs? How can
you reconcile your love for humanity with teachings these teachings?
What about this one?
4:84, Then fight in
Allah’s cause - Thou art held responsible only for thyself - and rouse
the believers. It may be that Allah will restrain the fury of the
Unbelievers; for Allah is the strongest in might and in punishment.
Do you think this verse teaches tolerance?
Quran is replete with verses such as these. Don’t you think the Islamic
terrorists get their inspirations from these verses?
You insist we should look the good in Quran. Everyone can preach and give
good advice. We have to see how they exemplify those good preachings in
their own lives. Please read the Ahadith, although many of those hadithes
are fabricated, they gradually start to shed light on the person of
Muhammad. You will find Muhammad to be a vengeful, ruthless, lustful,
sadistic man. This is not slander made by his enemies. This is the picture
of Muhammad emerging from the Hadith narrated and collected by those who
loved him and believed in him. After reading few pages of the Hadith you
will find Muhammad was an evil person. Hitler had one good quality. He was
not a womanizer. Muhammad had all the vices of Hitler and he did not have
any good quality. I cannot find any man worse than Muhammad when I review
the despots, thugs and murderers in the annals of history
