this is exactly the problem. they want to lord over everybody else, more than looking within to understand what ails them. no need to change the world just change the way you look at the world and world will look up to u

You have a very wrong understanding of Islam!
...I was welcomed first and judged on merit later. By contrast, Europeans and Americans, including many who are free of racist notions, automatically class people racially. Muslims classified people by their faith and their actions. I found this transcendent and refreshing. Malcolm X saw his nations salvation in it. America needs to understand Islam, he wrote, because this is the one religion that erases from its society the race problem.
One Earth, One People, One God!
No race, No borders, No rich or poor, All heads bowing to one supreme creator!
Historically a Muslim sees Islam as the final, matured expression of an original religion reaching back to Adam. It is as resolutely monotheistic as Judaism, whose major Prophets Islam reveres as links in a progressive chain, culminating in Jesus and Muhammad. Essentially a message of renewal, Islam has done its part on the world stage to return the forgotten taste of lifes lost sweetness to millions of people. Its book, the Quran, caused Goethe to remark, You see, this teaching never fails; with all our systems, we cannot go, and generally speaking no man can go, further.

My politicized friends were dismayed by my new interest. They all but universally confused Islam with the machinations of half a dozen middle eastern tyrants. The books they read, the new broadcasts they viewed depicted the faith as a set of political functions. Almost nothing was said of its spiritual practice. I liked to quote Mae West to them: -Anytime you take religion for a joke, the laugh%u2019s on you.

Hakeem you Al Taqiyyah expert...ok read to us...deny that they kill every Friday in Pakistan..deny that Islam established a caliphate and its sole intention is expansion and destruction of worlds diversity. If God wrote a final book after so many attempts, then be wrote another bad book which made matters worse.

If you like what Goethe said, they why want to behead Geerd Wilders who said nothing but just what is already written?
Answer me straightly one question. why no muslim stops the jihadies in kashmir killing Hindus with lot of hatred and multiplying the hatred on hindus by provoking attacks on hindu temples. And nobody comments on the hindu temples which has been collapsed by muslim rulers, while attacking india in initial days of islam entering into india

Dear Ramanadurgaprasad bhai,
I liked your question which is valid.
What happens in Kashmir is not Jihad. It is an uprising against atrosity. People fight against the injustice, atrosities and inhuman acts of army which is not jihad. We glorify Bhagat Singh because he fought for our mother land against the British and bombed the parliament. In the eyes of British, he was a terrorist and if happened to be a muslim, he would have become a Jihadi.
We don't consider Moghul rulers as a real muslims and they are not role models for all muslim generation. What they did was absolutely wrong and it was absolutely against the teaching of Islam. Acts of some rulers cannot be quoted as the real teachings of a particular religion. I personally do not hold Hinduism as responsible for the demolition of Babri Masjid. Some miscrents who wanted to create havoc and fighting between two majot communities and cash on their fightings.
Any muslim will admit that religious places should not harmed, and ladies, children, old people, green pastures, water resourches should be attacked and spoilt at any time during war or the normal period. This is clear instructions from Prophat Muhammed (PBUH).

Very soon the world will stop using oil and so called oil will be of little use. World is exploring the possibilities of using other sources instead of oil. It is not to defeat Saudi but because of its price.
From then on Saudis will be happy eating seedless dates and water ever after.
Their source would be Tourism only and at that time they would have to take a softer approach on other beliefs to survive economically.

modern day arabia is built on western technology. Western financial professionals etc. take that away, throw in a couple of bombs and arabia will disentegrate into the stone age riding camel back & living on seedles dates. The sword of Mohamed cannot match the F16. It does ? LOL. Opec restrict production to destroy the western economy ? Fool that would also make Russia & Venezuela richer. You know what happened to Irag ?? Why ??. Conversely all economies today are interlinked globally. when one falls and its a domino effect, we all go down.
