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... Amen to comment #5 by George! Thanks for clearing that up!

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.

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.

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.

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..."

This was of course an age of violent military expansion. At his death, Muhammad was the warlord of Arabia. Within a Century Islam controlled from Portugal to India. A military expansion in time and territory exceeded only by the Mongols. The Ottomams then carried on this violent expansion with the demise of Mongol power. While I accept that most Muslims want to live quiet, pious lives, the seeds of violence in Qur'an and Hadith would always seem to drag a significant number them back to violence or approval of violence when for any reason they felt it legitimised. God loves Muslims. God is love. The answer to the inherent violence of Islam is to leave it without adherants. The Aztecs, Assyrians and others have had a similarly repugnant religions and few have mourned their passing. The Holy Spirit is calling people out of Islam at an unprecedented and accelarating rate. I anticipate an incredibly violent backlash against the apostates, the West, Christians and anyone unfortunate enough to be within reach of Islamic vengeance. The faith that brought us the Armenian genocide (1.5 million slaughtered) and indeed was the cause of the coining of the term 'genocide', will not die wwith a wimper. The Bible tells us who is triumphant though. I pray daily for the salvation of Muslims and the safety of those who leave Islam for Chist.
