A sincere appeal to you. Try to be a good Muslim. But that should not stop you from being able to think. India is the only country which has given us true democracy. No other democratic country provides a special law to accomodate us. Inspite of this, if our brothers plan suicide bombings killing innocent muslims and non-muslims, I have lost all hopes.
In India, we blame Hindus for our mis-fortune. In the West, we blame Christians. So how come people is Pakistan, Bangladesh, Africa are suffering ? There is no oil there! Why are people in Saudi Arabia suffering ? What will happen after the oil reserves will dry out ?
If you dont change, I will. I will discontinue being a muslim in the true sense. You will be responsible for this & be prepared to answer this on Judgement day. To satisfy my parents, I will still offer Namaz. But deep down, I will try to be a Human being first.
How can our religious leaders so easily mis-interpret what Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) has written ? Being a student of science, I find it foolish to think that our God is different from their God. All major religions of the world were established when Islam didnt even exist! Were our ancestors not humans before Islam was created ? So if we are fighting in the name a religion, clearly the Path of Religion is not the same as Path of God.
I do not intend to hurt anyones sentiments. Nor am I giving anyone permission to abuse other Muslims. Even Hindus/Christians for that matter.
