STOP THE HATING

First of all, everyone here has to stop with all the hating. Anger and hatred will not do you any good. Those who comment with anger and hatred in their heart, please refrain from spreading your hatred. The argument about whether Islam is good or not is moot because it is not the religion that kills, abuse and hurts people - it is man who do so. Everyone is given a brain. Surely you can differentiate right from wrong. Killing, abusing or hurting anyone even if it is in self-defence should never be taken lightly regardless of race and religion. And stop using religion as a scapegoat for everything. For those radical Muslims-in-name-only, please wake up and do the rest of the TRUE muslims a favour and stop acting up like a spoiled child. It is not wrong to stand up for your religion but please do it in a peaceful and intelligent way so as to stop others from seeing you like you are some violent thug or worse, a terrorist. You are giving a bad name to the Muslims in the world that actually do good.

And for those haters of Islam, please do not presume you know so much about the religion because in actual fact you do not. It is insulting to see people quoting from Quran, not to prove their point but to twist it in such a way just so that they could get back at someone. That is so immature. By doing that, you have proven that you are someone who will do anything , even distort contents of Holy Books that millions if not billions of people live by, just to prove your point. There are lines we as human beings should not cross. Even if you do not believe in the religion, at least respect them enough to keep their Holy Books out of it. It is not for you to belittle people and to put down people like they are animals. Furthermore, do not trust someone when they say they hate something. 90% of the time, their opinion are biased. Anger and hatred can blind anyone to seeing the truth and to be impartial. Get rid of that hate and then come back when you're calm.
