A Muslim's view.

Submitted by Aaliyah (United States), Oct 25, 2002 at 14:25

After stumbling across this website accidentally, I was rather saddened to read such negative and anti-islamic views.
It is quite clear that some of the commenters are convinced that Islam is the root of all evil in the world and I have no intention of trying to convince any of you that Islam is in fact a religon which preaches love and compassion towards others, as I honestly doubt you would be willing to see Islam in any decent light, after having read the numerous comments which have been posted.

However, there is one misconception which I wish to clarify. ...Islam will never be eradicated and the effect of those who propagate groundless and blatant untruths regarding Islam, ... will only help to strengthen the faith of Muslims, as they realise people who are ignorant to the actual REAL Islam, are striving so hard to destroy the way of life we love. This does not mean we will all become terrorists, ... rather we will become more determined to spread the real truth of Islam!
