Is this the true religion?
by Arjun Periyar on Oct 01, 2007 12:26 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Again & again you are selectively pointing out the so called injustice / attacks on the muslims community in India. But if you look into the history of India, it is full of bloodshed of the native hindu people by the muslim invadors. Hindus were massacred in millions, those who did not resist were converted forcefully, the civilization was destroyed completely. And all this was done on the name of the GOD (you say Allah). Surprisingly, the next generations of the converted people started hating their original religion in order to prove their loyalty to their new community. Tolerance & patience are the two things which are totally missing in Islam. You have divided this beautiful earth as Muslim vs. Non.Muslims. You have totally forgotten that you can worship your religion better without hating other's religions. You have forgotten that GOD has created every living species on the earth & is expecting nothing from them. The GOD has not appointed your profet as police or judge to punish the people who are not worshipping by your way or to declare anyone as KAFIR. Islam has done the biggest insult of the GOD by killing the people from other religion on the name GOD. You will have to understand the fact that every human being has a right to exist on this earth irrespective of his faith of way of worship. You have no business to create disorder in this beautiful world & that too on the name of the creator.

There is lot of lies and propaganda against islam. Islam is a most scientific religion we hindus converted to Islam in India not because of sword but because of message of justice, peace and equality by Islam. After 9/11 incident american people inclined towards understanding Islam and within a year around 30,000 were converted to Islam.

Brother Arjun,Who is fighting tell me.According to you all are same.First tell me who is fighting in India.Your mindset is so fixed.you are telling me to educate member of my communities about the futility of fighting in the name of religion.Brother,I am 28 years old & lives in Mumbai.In my entire life i never met any of my member who is fighting in the name of religion.Then you tell me,Brother whom should i educate?Brother there is no such things as you think.Actually media has distorted all the truth.It is your myth.First clear your misconception & it is the duty of people like you to educate the member of your community about saying nonsense without investigating.Why do you think People are embracing islam even in these era, because they understood the essence of islam, do not follow the media blindly. Media today is not to inform people, but to take them away from the reality and show them a totally different picture. The Middle Class and Lower Class Muslims like me are too busy making a living and supporting their families by what ever profession they are capable of.The more you hit the common man, the more you turn them your enemies. You will understand the pain if you loose any of your family member,so stop atrocities against any community and promote peace. This is the only path to prosperity. Discrimination will destroy the whole community.

I am sorry but not the muslims but just YOU are hateful. How can you say that muslims always cause war? What about the war between European Nations. Are they muslims? What about world war II? It is the most destructive war of whole human history and Was there any muslim country in this war.?Was Hitler a muslim? I dont think so.
I can write a long war list here. But please maybe you dont want to see the truth but just try not to make any slander to muslims and Allah.because he is not just muslim`s God. He is the God of every creature in the earth and universes. And afterlife you will learn this fact sorrowfully but it will be too late for you to regret.
But you cannot be such respectful to any other faith because you dont have this in your religions.Because of this you did CRUSADES.

You are not understanding the basic issue. Do you support the killings of innocent people on the name of GOD? Nobody knows the exact form of the GOD. Your faith tell you that GOD is one & you have named him as Allah. The other communities also believe in GOD in some other forms. The real problem is Muslims are trying to hijack GOD since last many centuries & are doing all nonsense on the name of the GOD. This is the real problem. You are not understanding the fact GOD has created everybody & given wisdom to everybody to live with. He never appointed your profet to kill the people who don't beleive in him by your way. Killing the people (which are obviously created by GOD) on the name of the GOD is the biggest insult of the GOD. Hitler was more honest than the Muslim invadors as he did not kill the people on the name of the GOD.

Islam comes from the root word Salaam,which means peace. It also means submitting one's will to Allah (swt). The word Salaam is also an attribute of God. In this context, it means The Giver of Peace.Muslims greet each other with Salams which translates to wishing peace for one another.Thus peace is a goal that Muslims are required to strive for, in their own selves, in their families and in their communities.Traditionally Muslims have treated other religions with respect,even when they were in a position to use force.Muslims ruled Spain for about 800 years. During these 800 years, until Muslims were finally forced out by the crusaders, non-Muslims flourished in Spain.
Muslims have ruled Arabia for 1400 years, except for brief periods of British and French rule. Yet there are today 14 million Arabs who are Coptic Christians whose families have been Christians going back several generations.The Muslims ruled India for about a thousand years. They had the power to forcibly convert each and every non-Muslim of India to Islam. Today more than 80% of the population of India is non-Muslim. All these non-Muslim Indians are bearing witness to the fact that Islam was not spread by the sword.Indonesia is a country that has the maximum number of Muslims in the world. The majority of people in Malaysia are Muslims. Similarly, Islam has spread rapidly on the East Coast of Africa. May one ask,Which Muslim army went to Indonesia and Malaysia, and to the East coast of Africa ?
