ALL PRAISE TO ALLAH

Mr. Jackson,

Congratulations for converting to Islam. May Allah bless you. Islam is the most practical religion in the world and touches every aspects of life. It teaches peace and promotes brotherhood. So called Muslim terrorists are those who did not follow the teachings of Islam and hence in my opinion could not be considered as Muslims. Of late, many of the atrocities purported to be committed by Muslim Terrorists in different parts of the world especially India is infact committed by terrorists belong to other religion groups. Muslims have been made as scape goats and authorities have tortured them mentally and physically. We should note that terrorism is not confined to Islam alone. Muslims believe in peaceful coexistence and the best examples are countries like UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait & Saudi Arabia. Recently, a non Muslim friend of mine who has worked in Saudi Arabia for 15 years was so passionate while narrating his life in Saudi Arabia and said that his employer, a Saudi national treated him like a brother and accorded him all possible help. Further, he said that If he could get another chance to serve that country, he will gladly accept the chance.

As Muslims we give paramount importance to the good deeds and firmly believes that one's deed only will lead him to paradise.

May God bless us all.
