If you insist..

1. I am neither an Arab and my ancestors were Jews not Hindus =D So yes, I don't understand the Quran when I read it in Arabic, but "darling" I take the trouble of translating every word and give it my full faith. Thats more than I can say for you.

2. You want proof that Allah has never asked anybody to cause bloody war or terrorism?

The Quran quotes (in english so you may understand ;) ) when it comes to radicals in this world : "When it is said to them : 'make not mischeif on this earth' They say : 'We are the only ones that put things right'. Of a surety, they are the ones who make mischeif But they realize it not." (2:11 -2:12)

In case you deliberately misinterpret this particular verse let me explain it to you more fully.

Allah is trying to make people understand that the "Muslims" causing problems are the trouble makers who do NOT follow Islam, not the actual believers. They say they are the ones who are doing good but they dont see they are doing more harm not only to others but to the reputation of Islam.

Infact, the Quran also talks about people like you "my dear dhimmi no more".

"As to those who reject Faith, It is the same to them whether thou warned them or do not warn them; They will not believe." (2:6)

"Allah hath set a seal on their hearts and on their hearing And on their eyes is a veil; Great is the chastisement they incur." )2:7)

Proof enough for you? Probably not.

You probably have a few more arguments up your sleeve and even if I do proove you wrong, what good would that do? When somebody is bent on refusing the truth and when they are genuinely not interested in knowing it, it is actually a waste of time.

3. Believe it or not I actually speak Urdu. And my last comment had nothing to do with Islam but your being ... Or does anything like respect for another person's language translate into Islam? ^_^
