Attempt to Attack the Truth of Islam"

I read the first line " ... and I am filled with shame for our world. Apparently we live in a world where stereotypes and ignorance prevail over wisdom and peaceful negotiation. JUST AS THE KKK IS A MINORITY GROUP OF CHRISTIANS, THE PEOPLE KNOWN AS TERRORISTS ARE CRAZY PEOPLE WHO HAPPEN TO BE CLASSIFIED AS MUSLIMS BY THEIR CULTURES, AND NOT THEIR ACTIONS AND BELIEFS. Before writing this article, did you know that "Islamic Terrorism" is the most ironic statement out there? Did you ever think to read on the principles and values of REAL Islam, like treating your neighbors well, respecting your parents, and that alcohol, smoking, and things that harm the body in any way are banned? THIS is the TRUE Islam, and anyone who believes that violence and terrorism has ANY relationship WHATSOVER with this beautiful religion of peace is ABSOLUTELY misguided. I am not writing this to try and convert your religion, because as my religion says, we are not to convert people forcefully, but rather through peace and education. I am, in fact, writing this to show you that the real ISLAM is the one hidden behind the stereotypical image of NONMUSLIMS commiting acts of terrorism and hatred.
