The dilemma of the Muslim world has been succinctly conveyed. Still they don't see the writing on the wall or the brain washing of the mullah is such, they remain blind to reality.

Mohammed javed, Weren't those involved in Lal masjid, scholars of Islam from a reputed madrasa? Aren't Osama, Mulla Umar, Al qaida and Taliban learned islamic scholars? Isn't Kafeel of Glasgow bombing and several others like him involved in terrorist acts in Kashmir, 9/11 etc, devoted muslims? Aren't all these performing dastardly acts in the name of Islam. Don't propogate your half baked knowledge and quote verses out off context. Please go through quran properly to know Islam. These learned scholars of Islam wouldn't behave the way they do now, if the verses you presented were true. Any day I bet on the knowledge of these scholars about Islam, than yours.
