Hi khaled,

This is actually one of your better posts.. i have read through each and every para you had written, now let me put across mine..

"These people have been brain-washed into thinking they are doing the right thing. They think they are defending the honour of İslam and they will go to heaven! İt is these poor and/or mis-educated youth we must guide onto the right path!"

Dear khaled, the core question remains the same.. who are the brain washers? influential mullahs?, radicals? over the hill maulvis? and on what basis do they brainwash the youths? by quoting passages from Quran!

thats why we have been saying all along that why dont muslims take a fresh look at the verses? you know what, by saying that it cannot be changed , moderate muslims find it very difficult to even discuss about the verses.. i challenge you to engage in a discussion with a Pakistani here called mansoor.. try to convince him first that Hindus christians and all other faiths are on the same plane as islam is .. he will not budge because he still quotes that on the day of judgement we all will stand in line and allah will send them to hell for worshipping the false gods!

why does he quote this? because there is a verse in quran which states the same.. if moderates like you ( if you sincerely feel the urge to be one) try to interpret the verses in a moderate way then i am sure you will be hounded and probably killed for blasphemy. if you say " we must guide" then you shouldnt object to us interpreting the quran.. by saying that the quran cannot be changed, you have painted yourselves in a corner.

"İf the west would play a neutral and constructive approach and solved the Palestine-israel problem in a fair manner that gave the Palestinians the land that belonged to them first (before it was stolen from them) – 85% of the terrorism in Middle East/Muslim world would be finished if they solved Palestine issue in a fair and just manner. Guaranteed. İnstead the zionists villify the Palestinians, and the media/Hollywood always since the beginning has branded us Muslims as terrorists –never giving us a chance to speak our voice."

My dear Khaled, i think you should really read the history of the Israel Palestine confict. I dont have enough time to run you through but the fact is israel has already conceded a lot of land and are willing to sit at the negotiation table but the rocket attacks don't end ..

As for Pakistani terrorists in İndia –when was the last time? Most of the militancy is in Kashmir –and the fighters are Kashmiri who are sometimes backed by Pakistan İ believe. But one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. İndia Occupies Kashmir and the Kashmiris themselves want liberation. Most of the bombs going off in india are carried out by İndian Maoists and Tamil rebels. And i challenge you and other viewers to prove me wrong.

hello mr khaled, what is wrong with you? have you heard about the bomb blasts in bombay, jaipur ? i guess not... most of the militancy in kashmir is because pakistan sponsors militants.. i have been to kashmir and believe me people are not in favour of indpendence because they know that pakistan will run the show.. why dont the seperatists enter elections? they know the peoples mandate lies with India.

The maoists are an headache and we will deal with them.. tamil rebels? Get education man. you have mistaken us with sri lanka my friend.. LTTE IS SRI LANKA'S HEADACHE NOT OURS. The separatist movement for Khalistan is long dead my friend and you need an update on your GK! Pakistani sponsored terrorists are helping the maoist for arms, they are the ones who are supplying the arms and RDX to the kasmiri militants.

Now be honest and answer me one simple question. how do you reduce the majority ? either engage in mass genocide or drive them out of their homeland.. thats exactly what the kashmiri muslims have done.. I think you must read about the plight of 3,00,000 Kashmiri pandits who were systematically purged from the valley.

I was in Kashmir in 1982 and the security guards told us not to reveal our identities as hindus. The loudspeakers were urging the local population to drive out the kashmiri pandits out of the valley.. Kashmir was a hindu kingdom ruled by a hindu king. Yes you were right Kashmir didn't want to be part of india , but when Pakistan pushed its army in disguise of pathans and local muslims, the king made a choice and joined India.. fair ?

And İ wonder what would happen if the Danish/Dutch Newspapers posted a cartoon mocking the holocaust. The authors would be jailed and the newspaper shut-down. Now this is a fact. Denying the holocaust is illegal in USA and Europe and an imprisonable offence, but insulting İslam and depicting a Holy figure in a rude and disgusting manner ----yep no problem!! İt is encouraged almost (for so-called freedom of speech)!!!

Funny that you should feel insulted when some one speaks about your religion and your prophet.. MOVE ON KHALED.. Life just isn't about feeling insulted.. is your religion so lame that a cartoon would have collapsed it?? We have an artist here by the name of M F Hussain who sits comfortably in Dubai.. do you know what does he do for a living? He paints nude hindu gods and godessess and mints money. you might be surprised that he is still alive and well. his paintings have been vandalized but there are hindus in india who hold the freedom of expression more dear. They hold protests against the vandals and have vowed to protect him and I am sure they will.

Muslims don't say a word against MF HUSSAIN but the same people don't want Taslima Nasreen to stay in India .. why?

Dear Mr Khaled, your religion was responsible for the destruction of 6000 temples in India.. I am not saying this , read the braggards who raided us and wrote about the exploits in their Namas. You should learn to hit them where its hurts the most. Slap a charge so high that the newspaper should have gone bankrupt.. we did the same thing when some bright guy printed lord ganesha's pic on a beer bottle the company paid a humungous settlement fee through its nose and had to shelve his launch.... mere rioting and beheading someone in response only strengthens your image as a barbaric religion..

The Pakistanis (and Jamaican) who blew themselves up in London in 2005 were British citizens. And they were angry about the war in İraq, Afghanistan, illegally imprisoned/tortured inmates at Guantanamo Bay, and situation in Palestine. Their response to their anger was totally un-İslamic rest-assured. 52 innocent people were killed that day!!! İ bet most of the people who were killed were anti-war people too (as is much of the UK). You know how many Muslim civilians were killed that day? Do you have ANY idea how many innocent Muslims (including many firemen and civilians) were killed that day?? Those terrorist are rotting in hell you can be sure about that sir. Nowhere in the Quran does it justify this cowardly act, or acts like this. Nowhere.

But sir khaled, they were muslims and that's why I wrote islam is always at war. They were angry about the war in Iraq , Afghanistan and Palestine? What do they have to do with it? If muslims don't meddle in other's affairs there will be peace in lot of other places.

why do they line up for other peoples causes? It is because it is written in quran to fight for your brother irrespective of the fact whether you have been provoked or not.. please tell me how many muslims are there in the below mentioned list. I will tell you.. its 5 , here the link..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7_July_2005_London_bombings#Victims.

You write as if 50% of them were muslims. in india the terrorists always choose a religious place of other faiths and choose the most holy day.. you feel that they are rotting in hell but the family of the bombers actually celebrated their Martydom with a party.. how many muslims stood up and condemned that?

Heres the story..

Dear Mr Khaled, the west and America does not fear the growth of islam, it fears the growth of intolerant islam which is evident by the terrorist activities..

I hope we continue in the same vein and please stop consulting your Pakistani friend for further hindi abuses..
