Nozzi you write,
>>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.<<
Your prophet and his Companions also destroyed idols. Are you ashamed of them also, Nozzi?
>>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.<<
Surely you must be joking, Nozzi? I have lost count of the number of times you have called kaffirs unclean. Calling anyone unclean is not a sign of respect.
>>Non-muslims that are deeply hurt from the act of muslims will never become muslims due to their silliest act of destruction.<<
Do you think any non-muslim reading your repeated references to them as unclean will not be hurt? Do think calling us unclean will make us respect you for this kind of silly abuse you Muslims indulge in?
>>Some muslim extremists argue with me that the history shows that Muhammad destroyed idols.<<
They absolutely right and you know it. He personally destroyed the revered idols of the Meccan pagans.
>> 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.<<
If I told you I thought that calling Muhammad a charlatan (i.e. a fake prophet) would not hurt Muslims would you believe me?
