There are murderers and rapists in ALL religions who cause strife to other innocents. But then Why ONLY blame MUSLIMS....the reason is Muslims do it in the name of Religions as Kuran asks them to do it that way...
no other Religion in the world to my knowldege asks its followers to hate others, only becasue they don't belong to it. IF it does, even if it is my own Religion it has to be CONDEMNED..
"Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Messenger have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection." Qur'an 9:29
you will find most god-fearing muslims will either defend it stating it is being quoted out of context or this is a campaign against them...
my only hope is they one day start thinking as human beings rather than as muslims

The command to fight in verse 9:29 relates to those non-muslims who commit agression and not those who are committed to live in peace Can you answer me How come there are millions of christians living in Arab countries for centuries..?

this is justification you are giving. Quran doesn't seem to make any such distinction...why does Quran talk about nijas?? isn't this institutionalised prejudice

>>>Quran doesn't seem to make any such distinction>>.Looks like you have mastered all of quran..? There is a clear injuction on how one should conduct in war..
And fight in the way of Allah with those who fight with you and do not exceed the limits. Verily, Allah loves not those who exceed the limit. (190) And kill them wherever you find them and drive them out from whence they drove you out; and mischief (disbelief) is more grievous than slaughter; and do not fight with them at the Sacred Mosque until they fight with you therein; but if they do fight you than slay them; such is the recompense of the unbelievers. (191) But if they desist, then verily Allah is forgiving, Merciful. (192) And fight with them until there is no (more) mischief (disbelief), and religion be only for Allah; but if they desist then there should be no hostility except against the oppressors. (193) The sacred month for the sacred month and reprisal (is lawful) in all sacred things; whoever then acts aggressively against you, inflict the like aggression on him as he has inflicted on you; and fear Allah and know that Allah is with those who guard (against evil). (194) And spend in the way of Allah and cast not yourselves into perdition with your own hands; and do good; verily Allah loves those who do good
The above is the full verse, which people quote only the verses in the middle.Now read this and check whether this law is fair enough..

Note again
...but if they desist then there should be no hostility except against the oppressors....
Is this not fair enough...Where is the question of hostitlity if you desist from aggression..

you are atually proving my point...it appears that disbeleif in Allah the unseen and unknown is reason enought to be salughtered...
Salim forget for a moment that this is from Quran...if say Bible or Bhagavath Gita said, kill those who do not believe...what would you think of that 'holy text'...???

Pls explain this...
Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Messenger have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection."

So from the moment it revealed,Prophet Muhammed and his companions went and killed every one they saw is it? There were many non-belivers in their own families of the companions.No muslim takes theses verses without the historical context.. As i said earlier,fighting is only against agressors -who also happen not to belive in Allah

i hoep you are not talking for Osama and his gang who claim to be more muslim than other muslims....
beleive it or not if we leave this uncontrolled and unquestioned muslims will endanger themselves and the rest of the world
RE:Fundamnetal difference

Osama and his gangs are comparable to any other terrorist organization.Islam asks its belivers to stand up and fight against oppression.Like any nation ,it also endores the legitimacy of armed struggle against oppression but if a crook thinks putting a bomb on a market place is a legitimate fight, then we have to check that guys (or group of guys) mental temperament rather than Quran

You must be extremly out of mind for saying Quran asks all unbelivers to be killed?
Didnt you notice the words below??
...do not fight with them at the Sacred Mosque until they fight with you... ...whoever then acts aggressively against you, inflict the like aggression on him as he has inflicted on you.... .. but if they desist then there should be no hostility except against the oppressors...
Secret-You must be extremly prejudiced to say these verses are provoking hostility and war..Any sane person will understand the above verse is a response to provocation and how Muslims should conduct themselves..

Whoever practices unprovoked violence in Islam is a sinner and killing an innocent human being, believer or unbeliever, in Islam is equal to killing the whole of humanity. This is Islam

who knows,even if you say 20000 millions were raped, I dont have any evidence to refute ,ironicaly you too wouldnt have except citing a hindutuva blog which is as good as your guess. Now even if what to say is illustrative of a real event,are you saying quran asks Muslims to kill their women counterparts..?
RE:RE:Fundamnetal difference

No Women are given some 'equality', quran says they are poor in intellect, their evidence is half as valuable as a man's...they are spoils of war so you can force yourself on them, they very night you killed their kith and kin...you can posses them in the 'right' hand...and right hand can have as many slaves as you can garner in war...do you see the insanity of it..!! or will you continue to sit on the imaginary high horse...

Islamic Equality?? Men are protectors and maintainers of women; women must be devoutly obedient, if not then beat them...4:34 Fairness?? God created us from a single person and made mate of like nature; pregnancy is a light burden to women...7:189 Light burden..???
Women witness is half of men...2:282
Women, slaves and camels are same; must seek Allah's refuge from all these...(Sunaan Abu Dawud 11.2155)
do you need more...my friend stop defending a book that you didn't write...don't fool yourself that becasue something is presented as a religious text it is beyond questioning and is always right..
we could not have done away with sati if Hindus thought that way...

precisely this is the questioning mind that is the need of the hour...it is very likely that even Quran and Bhagavad gita or bible was a wikipedia of that time where we are ataching more importance than required...why don't we address today's issues of need for peace and harmony and why fight to defend a 7th century book...???remember i'm not saying Islam is the ONLY faulty religion...but you can't refute it is too stteped in bigotary...
on a sepaarte note, wikipedia entries do go through a quality and editorial review...
