For those of understanding

I refuse to go on the defence of Islam. I know there are naughty people who call themselves muslims. But if you look at naughty people who don't call themselves muslims and naughty people who do - once calculated as a percentage you shall be astonished.

The problem these days in the view of the writer - People understand very little - in the language of the quran 'the living dead' - but wish to hold an opinion on everything. We see much comments about Islam and the Prophet pbuh - yet understand very little of either.

I think Dan has made this comment to seek a reaction. I think those who are serious about undertsanding Islam should read the Prophet's biography by Hamza Yusuf of Zaytuna Institute, is a convert, Its called the life of the prophet - it is based on the late Martin Lings, May God bless him, increase and reward him well...who was also a convert.

There are problems in the muslims, as well as others, for they are human problems.
