Dude, its you who feel like that... Even if the whole world agree with your opinion, it doesn't make a bit of difference to us. Bcoz honestly, there is a huge gap between what you perceive and what it really is...
I dont want to get into stupid debate with you, but for your own sake, read the Quran and the traditions of Prophet Muhammad and then comment on the effects of Islam to the world.
Stop following what your big boss, Uncle Sam (USA) wants you to believe. Waise bhi 'ugte sooraj ki pooja sabhi karte', to aap bhi kar leejiye... Doesnt bother us...
And yes, Islam has been the best way of life and it always would be (FOREVER).. in its belief and in its law... Its just bcoz of the weaknesses in the Muslims that we have brought our beautiful religion to this current situation. If only we Muslims could become as good and as pious, as we were during the period of 700 - 1400 AD, the whole world will illuminate again, under the glorious period of Islam (for you information, 700-1400 AD was the period when Islamic civilization was its peak). Anyway, we have only got ourselves to blame, as we dont follow the religion the way it is supposed to be followed.
And if we ever follow the religion, the way we are supposed to, then you would see the difference it will make in ourselves and what kind of great contributions we can offer to this world.
Islam has much more for humans than the popular 'Jihad'. Its a complete way of life and not just a religion.
Now, obviously, after reading this message, you will try to throw more poison at Islam, so I would rather increase my faith and my belief in my religion, then answer to your biased comments.
Use your brain... find out about Islam from unbiased source... Read Quran with meanings and the teachings of Prophet Muhammad PBUH and you will know what real Islam is...
A proud follower of the great and ever-glorious religion, Islam. (and yes, a Proud Indian too)
