Responding to Tasdevil posting ------------------------------

Tasdevil...I had not logged in for a few days and wanted to respond to you on two points you made. They are:

1. "As I have said to Nashid.........Islam is also in deep sheep because of the collapse of the Caliphate. The faith of Islam is rudderless because it has no central leader and it's many sects are fighting each other for dominance over who are the true 'standard bearers' of the faith. I concede to Nashid that Christianity isn't devoid of serious faults either, but at least we are not allowing our churches to be used as tools of hate to incite the masses to murder muslims at will."

Yes to some extent there are foolish schisms in the Islamic world. The Sunni Shia rift is an example of something that is very ugly indeed. In ways it could be compared to the rift between the Protestants and Catholics especially during the time of Queen Elizabeth in England. The saying is true there are ignorant worshippers everywhere and they are the ones who are dupes of Satan. Our Prophet wisely remedied this by stating, "One learned believer is harder on Satan than a thousand ignorant worshippers". I can honestly state than among enlightened Muslims both here in the U.S. and oustside this country there is oneness. The petty divisions and extremisms do not exist. I have personally experienced this among Shias, Sunni and enlightened Muslims of different sects.

I disagree with you that the Masjids are being used to incite murder on non-Muslims and breed hate. That is more eating and accepting of Zionist propaganda and emonizing Islam. If that were so you would see a much larger percentage of killing of westerners in Islamic lands. But the amount of death there as a result of "extremists" are much less than the extremist westerners and Christians levy on Muslims in the west. Of course the Jew media will play down the harrassments and deaths of Muslims in western countries and play up any incident regarding Muslims and westerners in Islamic lands. I know for a fact that the majority of Muslims have no animosity towards innocent non-Muslims. This is despite all that has been done against them and despite all that may even come against them. That is because Islam defines justice very clearly to apply to the guilty. Muslims are also reminded numerous times about restraining anger and acting out of vengeance in the Quran. A good example of this is Iran. During the time of Khomeini when American hostages were held by Iranians the Muslims treatment of the hostages showed who were the real target. They allowed all the innocent non-government related people to go free and held only those who were involved with the government. This was despite all of the attrocities and horrible acts committed against the Iranian people by the American government and their puppet leader the Shah of Iran.

Unlike western society the average Muslim knows to make a clear distinction between a citizen and their government. Even the Journalists who were held by the Taliban experienced kindness by them and upon release one of them studied Islam and is in the process of becoming a Muslim. I am sure if their captors were evil fanatics the Journalists would not want to study and embrace their religion.

Tasdevil please be careful of the false depictions of Islam and the Muslim world by a lieing deceitful media. Also becareful of those fulfilling Jewish agendas going under the name of Islam. I always welcome westerners to study Islam so that they could make a distinction between what is authentic Islam and the fakes for themselves. Some have taken me up on it and others still have not.

I will post the article "Islam is not the source of Terrorism but It's solution". I strongly advise you to read it to get a better understanding of the Islamic world.

2. "Have any dirty dealings in the Islamic arena been exposed? There has to be some, I bet."

I will be a liar and a fool by showing dirty dealings and sick immoral behavior by PEOPLE who happen to live in an Islamic country and associate their actions in anyway with Islam. YES...there are sick people everywhere and in all religions. But you will not find any justification for their sick human weaknesses in the Quran, any chapter of the Quran, any sentence in the Quran, any word in the Quran and any punctuation mark in the Quran. The religion does not foster or teach any of those weaknesses that a human being may fall into. As a religious society where open community life is important and five daily reminders to prayer and the remembrance of God is done in the daily life of each individual you would find less dirty dealings as there is in societies that are not structured that way. Of the cleansing of sins the Prophet (pbuh) gave the example of a person bathing themselves 5 times a day. If a person were to do that, he would have much less a chance of staying dirty than someone bathing once a day. That is how Muslims view their 5 daily prayers. It is a spiritual and moral cleansing 5 times a day. When the whole society is doing that and God is put in the forefront and reminded of in that way there is much less chance for dirty dealings. I just wish more westerners could come and live in Muslim countries to find out some of these things for themselves.
