Islam Bashing

Submitted by Cornelius Vanderbilt (Sweden), Apr 20, 2009 at 06:35

Had there been no: "la ikraha fid deen qad tabayyenur rushudo....." no compunction in religion, dictum, today all of Indians and all Europeans would have been Muslims. The treacherous means that Pope used to convert Europeans to Christianity is not very applaudable albeit despicable. Had Islam permitted forced conversion, all vanquished nations would have been Muslims: Zoroastrians in Iran, Hindus in India and Christians in Europe, and not forgetting the Jews. Islam bashing is a futile effort. Most people who turn to religion/s are 'feeble' minded, trying to find an easy solution to complex problems of living. What better way to achieve salvation than to believe in some deity and let the deity take the responsibility leaving the individual free from it. Man should take responsibility in its own hand and try to find solution for its salvation. Earth is a part of a very large system of complex and intricate rules. Necrosis is a phenomenon that has been with us from day one, if indeed there was a day one, and most likely shall continue until the last day, of course, if there is a last day?

It would be far better use of our talents and resources wasting on bashing a religion or set of rules than to look into means and ways to solve our problems and take responsibility of our deed.
