Noha Yousri: Show us any instance where the Koran respects unbelievers and we will respect you.

Noha Yousri, you write:

>>I do not care how the west , the jews or indians see Islam, or understand it, it is something between them and God. What I care for is that muslims exist anyway and others should learn to respect them, and their beliefs.<<

Yousri, do you expect me to respect people who do not respect me? Your belief wants you to disrespect people like me. Have you listened to the Khutbas (which are the Friday diet of Muslims)that are available from Muslim sites .I suggest you visit www.alminbar.com to get a taste of the respect Muslims have for non-Muslims. Ordinary non-Muslims would be ashamed to use the language your so-called scholars use when they lecture you from the pulpit.

>>The west has given us the name terrorrist Islam so that they cover their own terrorism, brutality and theft in the muslim countries.<<

The west has not given you any such name it is Islam and Muhammad who proudly and loudly proclaim that they are terrorists. Read this:

Volume 4, Book 52, Number 220:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "I have been sent with the shortest expressions bearing the widest meanings, and I have been made victorious with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy), and while I was sleeping, the keys of the treasures of the world were brought to me and put in my hand." Abu Huraira added: Allah's Apostle has left the world and now you, people, are bringing out those treasures (i.e. the Prophet did not benefit by them).

Your prophet terrorised the Jews of Arabia by having their leaders assassinated and all the men of a Jewish tribe beheaded. Is this not an example in terrorism set by the prophet of Islam?

After Muhammad had Asma bint Marwan murdered for criticising him in verse, hear what Ibn Ishaq has to say happened later: "That was the first day that Islam became powerful among B. Khatma; before that those who were Muslims concealed the fact. The first of them to accept Islam was Umayr b Adiy….The day after Bint Marwan was killed the men of B. Khatma became Muslims because they saw the power of Islam."

What a wonderful example your prophet set for you to make Islam supreme. Is your prophet not to blame for what he did to Asma and the terrorising of her people or is Ibn Ishaq to blame for faithfully chronicling what your Prophet did?

>> Seeking more brutality, they interfere in our beliefs, who has given them such rights?<<

Nobody interferes in your beliefs, it is Islam and its followers who are always interfering in the beliefs of other faiths. That is the very reason for the existence of Islam. 3:85 If anyone desire a religion other than Islam, never will it be accepted of him; …

And this was done beginning with the day your prophet started preaching his religion. Was he not condemning the beliefs of his pagan brethren. Did he not insult their sacred beliefs and customs. Haven't Muslims faithfully followed in their prophet's footsteps and embarked on conquests to gain more followers through terror? The brutality indulged in by Muslims in trying to gain converts has been extensively written up by Muslim historians themselves, showing no sign of remorse for the killings but rather writing with ghoulish glee about brutalities.

Who has given Muslims rights to kill and brutalise unbelievers like me to force us into Islam? The merciful Allah?? I await your answer NohaYousri

Regards,

Plato
