The problem with Quran and Islam is that the violence against nonbelievers is a central tenet of the religion. Not as the author wirtes “…allowed by Quaran if Muslims feel burdened.” Islam is a religion of violence against all non-believers or infidels – they must either submit and become Muslim or will suffer whatever fate awaits them in the hands of plunderers and murderers who commit violence in the name of Allah. There is no difference between “peace loving” and extremist muslims – they all read from the same book – that calls every muslim male to kill infidels “wherever they find them”. We need not talk about terrorist when talking about terrorist acts around the world committed by Muslims, we need to talk about Islam’s expansion – where every muslim man is called to duty and lead the war against the infidels spreading Islam until all the world is under Sharia law. There is something to think about.

Daahiye – What are you talking about “pray for your sister who is naked like animal and pregnent for unkown man or boyfreind and your gay brother who is geting maried with another man!!!” Most of these brothers and sisters are not Christians! Just because someone is white and western it does not mean they are Christian. Even if a person comes from a Christian family, it does not mean they are Christian. Christianity is a choice, made when a person sees the truth. You cannot be a Christian just because your parents are Christians or just because you go to church so these people you are talking about are mostly not Christian. Plus there are also Muslims who are gay or pregnant without being married.

Amen to comment #5 by George! Thanks for clearing that up! I’m a Muslim and I don’t feel this article is giving an accurate portrayal of Muslims. Although the purpose if this article is to open the hearts of Muslims, it is in reality only making it more closed up. We are not longing for any “golden age”. We are only longing for peace with our brothers, sisters, and neighbors whether they be Muslim, Christian, Jews, or other…

Yes it is a peace loving religion same as Christins and Jewish have peace loving religions. Its problem is same as the other two religions in the world. THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD and with those words all three religions are beliving in GOD and the same one. The problem is with people yes its down to the individules way he belives in God
In the west they know from the bible there were many messangers and in the Koran it states the same but end with the last messanger Mohamed Islam belives in every messanger in the Bible as well. But people being people dont like change yes its that simple once we belive something or in something we refuse to open our eyes and allow others to see things differently what a sad state of affairs we Humans are we kill each other for thousands of years and will continue to do this all for beliving in the same God but through different messangers

We in the west say we are inlightened and allow freedom of beliefs but this was not always the way our past record of religous tolerance is worse than the Islamic one. Add to this in this day and age the Islamic one has been loosing its tolerance and we have the mess we enjoy today

So today when you put a George Bush and One Osma Bin Laden in the world we reap the wirl wind of hate and both sides loose as Hate and mistrust leads to the forfront of the news

When you turn on your TV in the west you see pictures of suicide bombers in Iraq Afganistan and Isreal you see wold leaders talk about wiping Isreal off the map

In middleast when a TV is turned on they see Isrealis beating an old woman or shooting a small boy or a navy ship shelling a 12 year old girl on a beach in gaza they turn the staion and see an American or British soldier in Iraq shooting at people and driving thier tank over someones car and they see the hospitals full of wounded children and mothers

So yes Hate runs deep on both sides but it can all be justified with past deeds and people speaking bad to each other and about each other

All of it can stop as well at least on the religous and personal level ( we will never stop the political wars )
But by people just reaching out and helping another and showing some form of trust and human contact all can at least become more human even the Holy Koran says the Sabeans, Christians and the Jews are all brothers and belivers in one GOD so lets break out those Bibles and Korans and Torrahs and relearn the basic human skill of saying hello to one another and enjoy this one life we lead rather than fight about how to get to heaven.

The history of the “Christian” West is filled with violence – against Jews and Christians (Protestant-Catholic, Protestant-Protestant, etc.). A* lot* of this came to the Western Hemisphere with our ancestors… they brought their prejudices and hatreds with them.

I think it is vital for Western Christians to know about their own history, both bad and good, before attacking people who follow other religions for their so-called “warlike” and “hostile” qualities. I also believe that Jesus speaks pretty directly to us about this, in his admonition to take the log (or plank) out of our own eye before daring to tell a brother or sister that there is a dust mote in *their* eye.

John 8:7: “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone…”
