FACT FINDER...
I converted from Christianity to Islam three years ago. As a child I was taught the lords prayer.
Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power,
and the glory,
for ever and ever.
Amen.
If you understand this. Then you will stop abusing other humans.
My Answer:
Thanks for reminding me Lords prayer which I completely forgot. Anyway, you should know that I am not against all Muslims. I am only against some of the evils Islam promotes and I criticize those Muslims who treat everything written in Quran as absolute.
Though I was originally a Christian, I don't accept all the dogmas written there. I don't treat idolatry or animal worship as sins. I see how good a person is than what his religion is and what he worships.
You know I had Muslim friend who wanted to invite me for Ramzan feast. But his parents told him we should not get too close to people of other religions. He being too yung at that time used to tell me everyting his parents used to talk. Later he ran away from home.

Although I never grew up as a muslim I can understand what you are saying. I never said that what some muslims are doing is correct or someone should support it. But at the same time I blame it on lack of Islam rather than presence of Islam. We are all brothers in humanity, we can differ in opinions. There are certain chapters in the Quran where you will find violence but if you read the history around it you will understand the context. Otherwise how can the same Quran say that there is no compulsion in religion ? Or something like "to you is your way and to me is mine"...
