I fully agree with you if u think that only moslems are sane and anyone who is critical of your faith is otherwise. Osama, Mulla Omer, Jawahari, Dawood, Baithullah, Moulana Masood, Fazlullah, ... how many more sane guys u want me to name. You don't find such virtuous men in any other faith, amazing.

>If U think trying to understand any system than Islam & Quran is distraction then you are in a mire, go & find there is an ocean of spirituality awaiting u. I tried to find the truth from Quran which is commonly proclaimed in all other faiths, but concluded that it is only a poor rehash of earlier belief systems with many contrasts and contraditions. Yes, being a carrots & sticks doctrine, it does excite sometimes & scares most of the times. The guys who wrote the book were unaware of the well known Greek aphorism "Know thyself" or "The Kingdom of Lord is in you..." & zero knowledge of the Universal Self, " the true light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world"
