I don't need to watch the movie,I think the message of islam was brought across loud and clear on 9/11/2001. It's a religion full of violence and destruction and nobody is going to convince me otherwise.

fine be that way, when Allah will raise everyone on the day of judgement then you will know where you differ. you say that muslims did this and that without any proofs just by what the media says, inventing lies about Islam is not less than terror. ok, some muslims may be strayed away, but i dont know why people always judge Islam by one or some groups of people and i am starting to think that this is a good excuse to escape from the truth. if you have to say something about Islam, i would like you to give reference from holy book Quran, not from the action of people or what you hear.i know this is impossible so many non muslims always say this and that making illogical statements about Islam.

People are what make up a religion. A book alone doesn't make religion,but how the people believing and following that book live their live,is how you can judge a religion. The fact that the majority of all terrorists in the world are muslims, should say something, don't you think? And if they are not real muslims, like you are gonna claim next, then why do they all use islam as an excuse to commit those atrocities? Obviously the koran is the easiest holy book there is,filled with violence that any terrorist can use and feel justified in their actions.

most non muslims have a blind belief that Quran preaches violence and terrorism. but when i ask them for proof they quietly escape, because they are untrue, Allah is knower of all things and he is the best of Judges. i said Islam teaches universal brotherhood, you can ask me to prove it, but instead you started accusing my religion without any logic and evidence. i can explain how Islam teaches universal brotherhood, when we go to mosque for prayer, we all stand in a straight line without leaving any gaps between us, here we dont see who is standing next to us, whether he is poor or rich, white or black, any race, we dont care, we all think that we are brothers and share the common platform in mosque, in this way Islam teaches universal brotherhood. and when we go to MECCA(HOLY PILGRIMAGE) you can find people from all countries assemble and we greet each and every one ASSALAM ALEIKUM (peace and blessings of Allah(swt) be upon you) irrespective of his race, wealth, power etc, we eliminate all social evils prevailing in this so called modern society where people are looked down. in this way i am saying that Islam teaches universal brotherhood. not that all should convert to Islam to create universal brotherhood, i know it wont happen, the Satan wont allow you to open your eyes. you cant see the truth because you dont want to see it. next time when you say something about Islam you better give your evidence, i mean from Quran, i dont care what people are doing in the name of religion, its not my business and i am not going to get influenced by those evil doers, Allah has given me clear instructions in the Quran what should i do and what should i not.

The message of islam is violence. Brotherhood only with those who convert,the ones who don't get killed! Look at this paragraph taken from following website. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/696408/posts Islam is a Violent Religion A comparison between the teaching of the Koran and that of the Bible on the use of violence, shows the fundamental difference that exists between Islam and Christianity. We have found that Islam is a violent religion because the Koran teaches holy warfare (Jihad) to force people to submit to its religious/political system. A religion that resorts to violence to force its teachings upon others, can hardly be called a "religion," because a true religion presupposes reverence for God and respect for fellow-beings. It would be more appropriate to label violent religions as "terroristic organizations." The message of islam is clear, convert or die. Not very peaceful in my opinion.

"politics lies at the heart of labeling Muslims across the globe as perpetrators of terror acts" (17:33)Nor take life-which Allah has made sacred-except for just cause. And if anyone is slain wrongfully, we have given his heir authority (to demand retaliation or to forgive):but let him not exceed bounds in the matter of taking life, for he is helped (by the law). Based on this verse, it is Islamically unlawful to murder anyone who is innocent of certain crimes. it is well to remember at this point the distinction made above between Qur'an and Sunnah, and the muslims : only the Qur'an and Sunnah are guaranteed to be in accordance with what the Creator desires, whereas the muslims may possibly deviate. hence if any muslim kills an innocent person, that muslim has committed a grave sin, and certainly the action cannot be claimed to have been done "in the name of Islam." It should be clear, then, that "muslim terrorist" is almost an oxymoron:by killing innocent people, a muslim is committing an awesome sin and Allah is justice personified. this phrase is offensive and demeaning of Islam, and it should be avoided. Jihad is an Arabic word meaning struggle, but in the context of many verses in the Qur'an, it carries the meaning of military struggle, or war. Allah gradually introduced the obligation of military struggle to the muslim community at the time of the Messenger(saws). the first verse ever revealed in that connection is as follows(translation), (22:39)Permission (to fight) is given to those upon whom war is made because they are oppressed, and most surely Allah is well able to assist them; (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)until 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. (42:40-43)The recompense for an injury is an injury equal thereto (in degree):but if a person forgives and makes reconciliation, his reward is due from Allah: for (Allah)loves not those who do wrong. but indeed if any do help and defend themselves after a wrong (done) to them, against such there is no cause of blame. the blame is only against those who oppress men and insolently transgress beyond bounds through the land, defying right and justice:for such there will be a grievous penalty. and whoever is patient and forgiving, these most surely are actions due to courage. Now you know that Islam doesn't teach about war and when you read or quote any verse from Qur'an quote it within the context.

this means you dont want to know the truth,when you posted those verses out of context and when i tried to clarify them by quoting them with their context from Quran, you want something new. did non believers find only those few verses of Quran to be violent? you could not take any contradictions from Quran, a encyclopedia of some 2000 pages? amazing isn't it, those verses are quoted out of context, this is now proved that Quran does not preach violence, then what about contradictions in Quran. could not find any? i will help you, start looking for contradictions in Quran in search engines and you will get many non believers site where they think there are contradictions in Quran. as you non muslims do most of the time when i ask you to quote verses from Quran which preaches violence.

"Islam means submission to God's will" you say. I'd rather say that, like any other organised religion, it imposes the submission of a large majority to a minority of people who claim to hold some truth from an imaginary being. The word "submission" is in itself an attack on human dignity. Statements like this simply make me sick...

Bertrand Russel was ever so right when he said: "The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts."
