Re: Here is what they want

Suppose you are a good man. You are loved and respected by everyone. You are the best in your community. Suddenly, you see an angel in the form of a man.

You hear words. These are so beautiful words. They have great meaning. You are asked by God to obey the orders given to you. What do you do?

Prophet Mohammad did follow the orders. He had 13 years of suffering in Mecca. When the orders came asking him to immigrate, he did. When asked to fight much larger army, he did. At the end he achieved total Victory. His followers did what nobody did so far since the start of Humanity until now.

Prophet Mohammad was loved by those he did fight for. They believed him and supported him. Islam captured the hearts of millions. The Number now is 1.8 Billions.

If you believe in this man, you are a Muslim. If you do not then tell us why cannot you or any human write a Qur'an? If the Qur'an are the words of Muhammad, then let the Humanity make a better book. The Alphabet is there. Dictionaries are there.

If you fail, please state that the Qur'an is the word of God.

Why are you ignoring this part? Are you ashamed of the failure of Humanity to produce a book like the Qur'an? Why are not you Brave and admit it?

On the Ottoman Empire actions: did you read their defense? Are you sure these people who wrote such information wrote the truth? Did the Christians ever admit that islam treated the other Nations better than anyone? How do u explain the spread of Islam? You also ignore this.

Even if the Ottoman empire did follow a policy different from the Prophets orders, these are the errors of the Ottoman emoire since Islam asks Muslims to treat the peaceful other people with equality and dignity.

All the wrongs done by the Ottomans never equal 1/100000 from what the Crusaders did or what the Spanish Governments did or what the Serbs, Armenians, did to Muslims!

In short, you are failing so far to answer my questions: Why?

On the other hand, You must believe me as an honest man. I am a Muslim and my father was a scholar in islam. he said Jews, Christians, ... are to be treated equally as long as they are peaceful. Egypt has 5% Christians. they have 40 to 60% of the wealth of Egypt. If we were bad we could have made them hungry. tell me about the Arabs in Isreal, in USA, in France, .. how much they have of the wealth of these countries?

Please answer my questions this time. I am a friend and like you guys to live happily and if we love you to join islam one day, this is because we know for sure and with all the logical proofs that islam is true and the Qur'an is God's word. We do not like you to be forced to be Muslims. We like you to see the truth and believe it. We do not believe in forcing anyone to leave his faith to islam. This is a fact states in the Qur'an.

What i like you to understand that you must not judge a Prophet with the same way you judge ordinary people. Just prove that Prophet is true or prove he is false and explain the reasons and answer questions about the greatest success of that faith if you still do not believe it.

Mohammed
