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 in 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 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 loose the faith.
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.

I dont know who you are?whether real or fake!!.You are free to choose your religion and dont black mail that you will continue being a Muslim.This is 1.5 billion club. From your saying - major religions of the world were established when Islam didnt even exist-It is very clearn you have zero knowldge in islam. A small kid in any Muslim village will tell you Muhammed was just the last prohet of Islam and Islam acceppts Jesus ,Moses and many oher prophets of GOD. The first man Adam is a Prophet himself-so dont fool around and expose your ignorance!!

Dear Brother Salim,
I have no problem with Islam. I have a problem with those who pretend to follow it.
When it is convenient, you call Christians and Jews as brothers ? That is a joke. Did you forget the Crusades ? Or are you forgetting what is currently happening in Falistina ? I am well aware that Islam considers Jesus and Moses as prophets. Muslims may have been Jews and Christians. But Christians and Jews are not Muslims. Tell a Jew that he is Muslim and see the response!
To fix a problem, we need to accept it first. Majority of people in our faith have more kids that they can support. How can they go to schools and be educated ? So it is easy to brainwash them in to becoming suicide bombers. It is unacceptable to me that they wander on the streets, either stay hungry or steal (Papi pet ka sawal hai). How can I as a true Human accept this ? Forget me, I may be a bad Muslim. How can you as a Good muslim accept this ? You seem to be saying with pride that we are a 1.5 billion club. It doesnt bother you that majority of the 1.5 billion do not get 2 square meals a day ? Probably you are unaware of what is happening in Africa, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq during Saddam etc.

So dear rather than talking see the present conditions and do some introspection . Come out of ur shell ,use logics and there is the only way for salvation. Come out of barriers of religion choose the path of progress dont look back see why Americans,europeans and now indias progress.
