Many faces for islam

Submitted by M Abu Bakr (United States), Feb 9, 2006 at 16:19

There is only one true Islam and it is a rigid uncompromising religion. Muslims may interpret Islam to suit their current agenda, but that makes it a different religion and not associated with mohammed.
No one should forget that Mohammed ordered the killing of critical poets at a time when critical poetry was in Arab culture. Islam's surface may look like other religions as it calls for the usual moralities, but the deep layers of Islam are dominated by intolerance, censoring the mind and, sorry to say, cruelty.

Muslims MUST read about Mohammed from non Islamic sources to know their prophet.
