assalam-o-alaikum warahmatullah wabarakatohu (may Allah Almighty's peace n blessings be with u)

those who criticise islam for its fanatic frenzy and brutality (as it appears to them) would realise from this very greeting we make when meet or speak to someone that islam spreads peace and wants every human to enjoy Allah Subhana Ta`allah's blessings.

to understand matters requires a heart n mind free of stereotyping.you have to be open and unbiased if u really want to acquire knowledge sometimes we see only what we want to see-some muslims' or even a single muslim's act can not prove the failure of islam. like christianity n judaism, islam is also a religion ordained by God Himself. we, humans, can be wrong but God surely can not. my nonmuslim brothers n sisters may find many people of their own religion around them whose practices would be shameful and not conform to any religious teachings of theirs. what does it mean? should we abuse that religion or all the followers of that religion.

therefore, i would request all out there who would spare time to read this comment that please study islam but without PREJUDICE. Read Quran not to mutilate what it says about one of the three types of jihad- that is fight in the name of God- but to discern it thoroughly in the right context. may Allah Almighty protect n guard all of us against the wickedness of satan who would never want us to follow what is right n beneficial for us. amen

wassalm warahmatullah-e-wabarakatohu
