MAHATMA GANDHI Speaking on the character of Muhammad,
by Star on Feb 06, 2008 05:23 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

"I wanted to know the best of one who holds today's
undisputed sway over the hearts of millions of
mankind.... I became more than convinced that it was
not the sword that won a place for Islam in those days
in the scheme of life. It was the rigid simplicity,
the utter self-effacement of the Prophet, the
scrupulous regard for his pledges, his intense
devotion to this friends and followers, his
intrepidity, his fearlessness, his absolute trust in
God and in his own mission. These and not the sword
carried everything before them and surmounted every
obstacle. When I closed the 2nd volume (of the
Prophet's biography), I was sorry there was not more
for me to read of the great life."

If Gandhiji told this, then why Jinnah and muslims demanded to separate from India. Definitely, muslims are the real enemy of India.

Mr. Topno, don't generalize. Muslims are not the enemies of India, but so far as I know from reading The Koran, they have a religious obligation to fight till "the religion is for Allah"

Most of the muslims do not follow this and are liberal in their outlook. I have many muslim friends and some of them are even atheists.

Again you are giving contradictionary remark againt Quran..
Again i will tell you the same thing which i told you before...
Logically speaking, the Quran being the final message of Allah is going to be unchangeable till the Day of Judgment. For this job to be fulfilled, it has to remain the same because if, God forbids, any change occurs, there will be no point behind its being the final message of Allah.

Therefore, Almighty Allah Who knows the hearts and the nature of human beings has taken the responsibility of guarding and protecting the Qur'an from any change, so that it keeps on fulfilling its job and guiding all human beings till the Last Day.
This leaves no doubt that the Qur'an we have today is the exact one that was recited fifteen hundred years ago when the Prophet was alive.

Dear Star, I have seen the same message on Dr. Zakir Naik's website. You cannot fool the ants by writing "Salt" on the bottle of "Sugar" Ants have their natural instinct to find out their food!!!!!!!!

"Muslims are not the enemies of India", that is why muslims are fighting to join Pakistan in Kashmir. Also muslims (supporter of Nijam) of Hyderabad fought to join Pakistan. Sardar Patel could prevent it.

Dear Star, why don't we all get rid of this outdated religous dogmas? Believe in the basic goodness of all human-beings.

Pl visit the web of "Actual Freedom - the third alternative" This is not a religious or atheist site. It will alteast enrich your knowledge about the reasons for the human behaviour.

I am surprised that you have quoted the Mahatama , since that would be a case of the Devil quoting the scriptures.
Somewhere below you celebrated the death of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi by saying that another idol worshipper is dead. Islam is a great religion like all other religions but it is people YOU that make others beleive it is a dirty religion. When Dr APJ Abduk Kalaam speaks you respect Islam because if that religion moulded people like him it must be a good religion. When people like you suddenly appear and celebrate soemone's death based on the fact that he did not adhere you religion many feel the urge to spit on your religion .
Hope soem abscure Mulla issues a fatwa against you for defaming Islam . You do that better than Taslima or Salam Rushdie merely by blogging !

Well i said more people should not be misguided and should not go to the darkage...
I just wanted inform others to leave the path which he had shown which would merely take to the darkage nothing else...

Mr. PKN, you are right. A muslim friend had told me some time back that when a non-believer dies, they say that "let him go to hell"

The Koran is full of hatred for the followers of other religions and some muslims behave in such typical manner.

Dear Star, I am only wondering why the majority of muslims are still liberal despite reading The Koran and considering the same as devine revealation. It contains so much hatred for the followers of other religions!!!!!

JGN..
Well you alway have a negative thougts about Islam and muslims. You seem knowledgable on alot of stuff but just hell bent on enmity..I am not here to score points nor offend your beliefs nor try to make you see otherwise.You have your set of beliefs I have mine... I think there is no point in arguing in your incomplete verses which you often pick to abuse muslims and islam...
