Islam does not know the meaning of peace

Hi Ahmad, I cannot agree with your reply, my initial reaction was the self pity ( poor muslims ) my second was peace loving muslims, this in itself is amusing, you are unable to live in peace with one another, let alone the global community. Muslims are not the victims they try to portray themselves as. Judae-Christianity was here many centuries before Islam and the koran, the bible prophesied the destruction of Israel, and also it's re-birth before the koran was heard of. This is what I mean by you trying to re-write history.

You are right however that we should all live as one and in peace on an equal footing, but Islamic people are against this, not the global community. You live in our lands with us and yet apart from us. We educate your children, nurse your sick, and provide housing and money for your muslim brothers, yet you still blow us up on buses and tubes. As a people you unable to show gratitude, or appreciation, and we are tiring of your chidish attempts to rule and divide.

Kind regards Maria
