Those who criticize Islam are ignorant of its value

I am extremely appalled that many civilians are just putting ISLAM, the religion, down.

I mean Islam is a way of life which sets people on the straight path. The so called "Muslims" who tarnish the religion by their actions, are morally wrong. Islam actually is about peace and love. If you actaully read the holy Koran it becomes transparent in more than 1000000 ways. Those who perpetrated the horrible attacks on "innocent" America, are "Muslims" in name only and not in nature, who claimed they are Muslims but in actuality are far from it.

Moreover, Islam promotes brotherhood and sisterhood, not violence and massacres that we see the media publicising AGRESSIVELY OVER AND OVER AGAIN. ... I'm sure you remember that the Oklahoma bombings was supposedly done by Muslims, but in actuality, they were done by an American citizen who had nothing to with Islam.

Why the accusations and tarnishings, I don't understand. .. Once again I leave it to your discretion judging what's right and what's wrong.

...it's IGNORANCE AS TO WHY PEOPLE SEE ISLAM AS A "DANGER". I also feel sorry because as i said before the media is the literally brainwashinh the core out of people's brains, into believing something to be something when it's quite the contrary.
