Ibrahim, You are a decent Guy as I have seen from many of your posts and U desire the welfare of India. But it appears that U have not studied the Quran or Hadith or Islamic history properly. Those extemists have not misinterpreted Islam. Believe me-they have rightly interpreted it. You can never convince them of your liberal views. They will cite Chapter and verse of the Quran and baffle you.
Being such a gentle and decent person, u are shocked as to how Islam can be what people are saying it to be? Even when I read the Quran first, I was shocked. I am fond of reading religious scriptures. I read Bhagvad Gita, Guru Granth Sahib, Conficianism, Bahai scriptures,and Zoroastrian scriptures and Quran. The amount of Hatred taht is spewed on non-muslims is shocking. This starts right from the seventh verse of Al-Fatihah-the first Sura of Quran.
I have no hatred against anyone. But when I see something wrong-whether it be the Hatred against non-muslims of Quran or casteist verses in Manu Smruti, I cannot tolearte it.
