Islamophobia's reason is nothing but ISLAM ONLY...Reader comment on item: Islamophobia? Submitted by Devi (India), Jan 18, 2008 at 00:50 You are simply trying anything to prove Islam and his Prophet Mohamed (PBUH) are bad. Unfortunately, you did not convince me! " For a religion to become a religion it has to have inclusive of the humanity, humaneness,compassion, love,peace, happiness in the life among its teachings. sorry to say that Islam do not have these properties. Islam is based on Hell,Heaven,Judgement day, 72 virgins and 300 boys for the sexual use of the followers after life. ie why suicide bombers are more in Islam. U receive a warm welcome by Allah after killing the Kufrs. A prophet becomes a prophet when he provides a new understanding of life, new meanings to life, a model of life for the people to live , but Prophet mohd had none of these qualities. He was taken over by satan for 3 years, he killed his opponents mercilessly, he laid down with his booty on the same night of their tribes' killings, he had 12 wives, he married woman very much elder to him (Kadija) and very much younger to him (Aysha 6 years)., He had his prophecies while he wore the dress of Aysha in the cave.. He had wet dreams of aysha.. He had taken bath in filth and grabage... He had donkeys as muslims... he had bitches as Muslims... he had donkeys talking to him... He flied in acarpet with 60000 soldiers and their animals to confirm the hair between the legs of a yemeni queen.. he had his eyebrows coloured while receiving the revelation... He agreed for feeding the breast of women in presence of their non relatives... He preached for killing all non believers... He accepted Kaaba which was nothing but a Pagan temple... This black stone was a Goddess Vagina covered with a black stone... at the same time fighting against Idols... He advocated slave trade... He is an oppenent of democracy... He treated women equivalent to half men.... Women were treated as private property.... He married his own son's wife which is animal in nature..... How can u call him a prophet? and his cult as religion... nowhere possible... U go to Investigateislam and find out the filth which is called Islam... U tell me whether it can be called a religion? A religion should be for the spiritual upbringing of the individual to lead the life in avery pious peaceful way propagating happiness to teh humankind. Where does islam stand? And may I ask, on what basis did you come to such ridiculous conclusion that Islam is solely responsible for the sufferings of mankind? Now I understand that a ... mind like yours cannot grasp the idea that it is the MANKIND not the RELIGION that should be blamed. " See the same explanation as above. Islam is full of death,killing, slaves to allah and his dictations, Allah is a dictator in Islam... ie why u cannot leave Allah... He will kill u through Islam... it is a one way traffic... wither Allah or U... Ie why Muslim fathers kill their daughters for the honour of Islamic traditions.. ie why Mullahs kill B Bhuto for objecting to allah's revealations. (Women should be confined to the house and the burqas) Let me ask you this, who assassinated the Russian tsar in 1881? A Muslim? No ! " U r starting the same arguments... Russian tsar was not killed by an organised religion or its followers taking dications from their Books" Between 1889 and 1909 over 1700 African-Americans were lynched in the United States by whom? Muslims? No! " ie colonailism a thing of the past" Who launched suicide attacks in explosive laden aircraft on American? " not by an international religion whic proclaims piece" Warships in 1945, sinking 40 ships? Muslims? NO! " In war there are certain rules which we have to follow. war is a war and the rules apply from civilizations lon back." Who blew up the King David Hotel in Jerusalem in 1946 killing 91 British? " No idea.. " soldiers as well as British, Jewish, and Arab civilians (the most deadly terrorist act that has ever taken place in Palestine or Israel to this day)? Muslims? NO!! Who set off a bomb in a Birmingham church in 1963 killing four young girls at Sunday school? Muslims? NO! "Irish had terrorism but they have come back to normalcy long back.." Between 1969 and 1994 who killed over 3000 soldiers, police and civilians in bombings and assassinations in Northern Ireland with the support of groups in the United States and Great Britain? " same as above" Muslims? No! In 1982 who massacred over 800 Palestinians in refugee camps, mostly women and children? Muslims? NO! " backlash by israelis... If Israel is attacked they have every right to fight back... But terrorism I condemn.." In 1995 who released nerve gas in the Tokyo subway killing 12 and injuring more than 5000? Muslims? No! " Local cults... Local cults often commit suicides in mass but these are deviations from the standards.. see the killings in US schools with parents guns... mental immatureness ...nothing else.." Who assassinated Mahatma Gandhi in 1948 and two prime ministers of India? Indira Gandhi in 1984 and Rajiv Gandhi in 1991? Muslims? NO! " leaders have been assassinated everywhere in the world but not to propagate religion or wash the sins inside the Books... I mean justifying the acts by verses from Books..." "Make Pakistan a model country in the world then people will embrace Islam open heartedly and your Allah can rule the whole world. After all Pakistan is created out of India to make a very pure Islamic nation envisaged by your Prophet." Why should Pakistan be made a model Islamic country to prove anything? Sure the idea was exactly that, perceived by the FOUNDER not the Prophet (PBUH)!! But so is india, which is supposed to be a secular country, but is it? Everyone knows that india is the biggest state sponsored terrorist state, committing terrorism in many neighboring countries and hindus are killing more that any other religion, including Islam. " The greatest Joke of the new year. India terrorist sponsored state... Why US thinking about meddling with Pak? They should end India first to end the terror... Islam cannot live side by side with other religions... Islam is Islamo fascism... the moderates will become more terrorists int eh future... Islam is all anti human... anti nation.... anti woman... anti science... anti history... there may plus points to everybody... better aspects to every religion... A killer may be very much loving to his wife .... A thief may take a decision that he will not do any physical harms to the victims... A killer may be dead against raping... but does not support the ovarall criminal acts of the culprits... Just one qn? Who had given authority to Musharaff to rule Pak? Nobody? On what grounds he is ruling there? Is there any law for rule in Pak? Now u cry for Human rights in kashmir. Kashmir is part of a democratic India where evrybody have the option to discuss and express their views... A nation based on the Military dicatatorships complaining about the HR in another democratic country? This is Hypocracy. First set ur country right. U have an identity crisis w/o Kashmir. A nation founded on hate is bound to fail one time or other." Since October 1989, the 700,000 strong Indian forces have killed hundreds of thousand Kashmiris to silence the people's demand for freedom, justice and respect for human rights. " When ur Jihadi friend is roaming with an AK47 what the Indian forces have to do? They will kill him... Natural... They cannot go near him because he is a potential suicide bomber.... Kill him... " All the major religions of the world have prescribed fighting, at sometime or the other, especially in self-defense or for fighting against oppression. Mahabharata is an epic and sacred Scripture of the Hindus, which mainly deals with a fight between the cousins, the Pandavas and the Kauravas. In the battlefield Arjun prefers not to fight and be killed rather than having his conscience burdened with the killing of his relatives. At this moment, Krishna advises Arjun in the battlefield and this advice is contained in the Bhagvad Gita. There are several verses in the Bhagvad Gita where Krishna advises Arjun to fight and kill the enemies even though they are his relatives. b. It is mentioned in The Bhagvad Gita Chapter 1 verse 43-46 (43) O Krishna, maintainer of the people, I have heard by disciplic succession that those who destroy family traditions dwell always in hell" (44)"Alas, how strange it is that we are preparing ourselves to commit great sinful acts, driven by the desire to enjoy royal happiness." (45) I would consider better for the sons of Dhritarashtra to kill me unarmed and unresisting rather than fight with them. (46)"Arjuna, having thus spoken, cast aside his bow and arrow, and sat down on the chariot, his mind, overwhelmed with grief". c. Krishna further replies in Bhagvad Gita Chapter 2 Verse 2, 3 2."My dear Arjuna, how have these impurities come upon you? They are not at all befitting a man who knows the progressive values of life. They lead not to higher planets but to infamy. 2."O son of Partha, do not yield to this degrading impotence. It does not become you. Give up such petty weakness of heart and arise, O chastiser of the enemy!" When Arjuna prefers to be killed unarmed and unresisting rather than fight and kill his cousins Kauravas, Krishna replies to Arjun by saying how this impure thought has come to you which prevents you from entering heaven. Give up this degrading Impotence and weakness of heart and arise, O defeater of enemy. d. Krishna further says in Bhagvad Gita Chapter 2 verse 31-33 31."Considering your specific duty as a Kshatriya, you should know that there is no better engagement for you than fighting on religious principles, so there is no need for hesitation." 32."O Partha, happy are the Kshatriya to whom such fighting opportunities come unsought, opening for them the door of the heavenly planets". 33."If however, you do not fight this religious war, then you will certainly incur sin, for neglecting your duties, and thus loose your reputation as a fighter". e. There are hundreds of verses in the Bhagvad Gita alone, which encourages fighting and killing. Imagine if someone were to say that the Bhagvad Gita encourages the killing of the family members to attain paradise, without quoting the context – such a deliberate attempt will be devilish. But within the context if I say that for truth and justice fighting against the evil is compulsory, even if it be against your relatives, it makes sense. Are you still foolish enough to believe that a religion is responsible for the violence in the world? I hope you're not THAT bigoted! " Mahabharta u have understood the wrong way... Krishna who is an avatar of Vishnu is acting as a charioter to Krishna because he has vowed to Kauravas that he will not fight. Further understand that Gita is told inside the battlefield... There r rules in the battlefield (compare with geneva convention) where and when to start the battle.... Not like Islamic Invaders where there are no rules and ruthless killings... Atom Bombs are dropped in Hiroshima and Nagaski to avoid further killings and disaters to mankind... and that stopped the world war and saved lots of lives and resources.... U have to understand the dharma of the soldier, ruler, prophet then only u will understand mahabharata " Stop swallowing this 'fear and panic' BS that is pumped into every news channel and try to build a bridge! There's something like a billion Muslims in the world. They can't all be bad can they? There'd be a hell of a lot more terrorism in the world if they were!!!! Understanding is the ONLY way to lasting peace! " Am also advocating peace but a reformation is required in Islam presently. Otherwise world will become more violent... more ruthless and more unholy.... I do not oppose any religion... U keep ur prophets, ur prayers inside ur houses and minds but should not disturb the world.... It is nice that U seeks peace but through Islamic angle peace is not possible. U have become a Human first.." Note: Opinions expressed in comments are those of the authors alone and not necessarily those of Daniel Pipes. Original writing only, please.
