I have quoted many verses here to condemn muslim extremists. My reason for quoting verses is not to cite muslims but to explore the sinfulness of muslim extremists so that they would repent. They have put us, moderate muslims, into shame. Why do they destroy idols from temples and not knowing that would cause many hinduism and Buddhism to have hatred with muslims. We, moderate muslims, will respect your religion since Allah's purpose for muslims here are to preach to non-muslims instead of creating society's problem so as to cause many non-muslims to have hatred with muslims. Non-muslims that are deeply hurt from the act of muslims will never become muslims due to their silliest act of destruction. Some muslim extremists argue with me that the history shows that Muhammad destroyed idols. However, Muhammad would certainly not know muslims' act in destroying idols could cause hatred to non-muslims and that if would cause adversed effect in preaching. Remember, Allah's mission for Muslims is only to preach instead of casuing stumbling block for non-muslims not to repent to muslims.
