Islam is not the Truth
Reader comment on item: Islam's Future [Can Be Modern]
in response to reader comment: well .dont know whether to cry or laugh on your statements

Mohammed Adeeb,
Islam is not the Truth. Since Islam has been offered up for examination, particularly since the attack on the World Trade Centre in New York ('9/11'), the lies and innumerable flaws of and about Islam have been revealed and condemned: Islam is imperfect.
Even Mohammed .., the most-revered Muslim, the one to be emulated, felt it okay to practice deceit and manipulation to get his own way. That trait is associated with a person of lesser character than one who professes to speak for God.
Anyway, Mohammed worshipped pagan gods,too.
Why do you exclude the satanic verses from the Koran?
