Religion and Islam in particular

Mr. Tamim,

You cannot judge a book by its cover.

Do you know that those who convert to islam do not know anything about islam. After they are kind of trapped, it is too late to realize their mistakes.

You keep quoting from your book about non compulsion.

What about the following :

I know of muslim friends who are threathend if they read bible, if they even think of marrying christians, if they even think of converting to christianity, if they even talk about bible or bible scriptures. If know of muslims who have been threathened when they ask questions about jesus and even questions about their own religious figure - mohammad, these muslims friends are told TO BELIEVE AND NOT TO QUESTION. What about honor killings, what about father and brother killing daughters who even meet male-friends, who want to marry men of their choice, what about muslims girls wanting to wear western clothes and are prevented, but their own brothers, fathers, cousins (all male) wear western clothes?. well there is more, but this will suffice.

It is a very known fact that in all muslim countries all the above are enforced. - The Gulf Countries, Pakistan, Indonesia, Bangladesh, etc. etc. and this kind of mind set is slowly creaping inside western countries where muslims are using their might.

SO, MR. TAMIM, YOU QUOTE YOUR BOOK, BUT IT IS TOTALLY THE OPPOSITE ON GROUND FACTS AND GROUD LEVEL.

MUSLIMS DO NOT PRACTICE WHAT THEY PREACH.

LASTLY, IF YOU HAVE KIDS WILL YOU ALLOW YOUR KIDS TO BECOME CHRISTIANS IF THEY WISH TO????????????? BECAUSE YOU ARE GOOD TO QUOTE BUT NOT PRACTICE. SO PLEASE MR. TAMIM PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH.
