US to Attack Mecca ?
by imran patel on Aug 04, 2007 10:22 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

There is some idiotic congressman here in the US that said that US needs to attack Mecca. Later on he had to retract his statement. This guy, who is running for the precidency, is a joke. His poll numbers are, in fact is, 1% and the margin of error on these polls in /-3%. There is absolutely no support to his ideas. In short he is a big looser.
To my Hindu brothers, I understand your anger towards some elements in the Muslim community and it is justified. But be careful in your reaction and the people whom you associate with. Remember that it was the US who funnelled money and arms for the Khalistan movement.

And to the people who dream to destroy Mecca, Allah forbid if that were to ever happen, there will be no moderate Muslims left.

I understand that there is a problem. Just like Slavery was with Christianity and caste system is with Hinduism. This will take time and the we will prevail over this surge of terrorism.

I ask all my Muslim brothers to spread out the message of Islam in a manner that is respectful and refects the true values of Islam. If Islam is getting a bad name today, we share that responsibility. Also, please do not insult other and their religion. Discuss issues.

Dear Indian brothers. Some Pakis are trying to divide us. Muslims, Hindus, Christians of India should unite and work to make India the most powerfull nation on earth. We are a peacefull nation and should follow our father of our Nation Gandhi. Dont let politicians and anti national elements divide us. If at all we need to protest we should protest in non-violent method because that is our culture and that is the way of India and that is best for India.

US is a great country. There are always some idiots (Tom Tancredo)everywhere. Good thing is that they are marginalized and also held accountable. In our countries (India & Pakistan), the Extremist who have less that 5% of the population support seem to dominate. The remaining 95% are just by-standers.

WAS IT NOT ARAB SLAVE TRADERS THAT CAPTURED & SOLD AFRICANS TO THE WESTERNERS ? SLAVERY IS PERMITTED IN THE KORAN.

Exactly...I never said that Christianity supports Slavery. But people used it to push their own interest. Same is the case with terrorism and islam. Islam says that all humans are equal. Hence that should make it clear that it does not support slavery. It is true that there were maid servants, but they ate with their employers on the same table and same food. there is a huge difference between this and the African Slavery that we saw in the last century. Don\'t be so shallow in your analysis.
