What gave you the idea that I want to become a Muslim. And I will not become a Muslim because I have learned Islam. Julia if you learn Islam with an open mind, without any interference being run by your Islamic teachers, you will unlearn islam. I suggest you start by reading about the life of Muhammad by his earliest adoring Muslim biographers, Ibn Ishaq or if that is not available by Tabari or Ibn kathir.

You will read in them about what he did to a Jewish tribe called Banu Quraiza or about what he did to people who were critical of him whether they were defenseless old men or women. You will also read in them about how he had a man tortured and killed to get at some treasure. There are also other interesting facts about how he acquired some of his wives.

You have claimed I am filled with hatred against Islam. After you read about what the founder of Islam did, please come back and tell me what you think of the founder of Islam. I have quoted what his admiring biographer and other devoted followers wrote. I quoted verses from the Koran which I thought relevant to the issue. How does that make me ‘hate-filled'. If you had given some indication of what you think was hatred I could have given it some consideration and thought. You have only accused me without substantiation.

>>Remember: No other religion will be accepted by Allah (swt) on the day of Judgement except Islam.<<

What if I told you that my religion, malsI, tells me that all relgions will be accepted by my god hallA on the day of tnemegduJ??

Allah is a God who does not claim to be merciful and then asks his believers to kill people merely because some refuse to believe He is God as Allah does in 9:29, 9:111. hallA does not call unbelievers in him unclean (9:28). hallA does not play favourites with his creatures by revealing his message only to a handful of people called prophets like Allah does.
