Now I had to laugh out loud when i read what you wrote. Look at what you wrote. You sound like a person who was just taught what to say word by word. You sound like you have been so brainwashed. You know what is the problem with you guys??? You just HATE muslims. You hate them without knowing much about them. You ...Sorry to say it.. know absolutely nothing. And I really wish I can have the ability to just ignore what you wrote to me and just not reply to a person like you, but i couldn't help it. I have to tell you..I feel VERY sorry for you. What I read from people in this website is just so...I donno..should I call it stupid???.. Dumb???..or even worse. I'm so sorry to say it...you guys have VERY poor knowledge. You only know about what you hear on TV or what you hear from people. You cannot look behind that..can you??.. You ever lived in Saudi??..ever lived in some arabic country?..NO..so why talk?.. and by the way..just to help you with your poor knowledge..we do have TVs here..and newspapers and we are allowed to watch and read them. Let me ask you..WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE PEOPLE WHO DISAGREE WITH US IN ARAB COUNTRIES?? I didn't really get that point. You mean those cartoons Danish people drew and that were meant to make fun of our highest symbol in life ..our prophet Mohammed? to make fun of our religion? Don't you think that has something to do with respect a bit??? Just a little respect?

I just wish you guys learn how to respect others. We muslims DO respect other religions..you cannot just judge Islam by some people you hear about on news..like bin laden. I donno what is your religion..but I'm sure not everyone follows it word by word. You always have the people who follow their religion properly and the people who just think they follow their religion when they actually don't. You ever tried reading our Holy book Quran???..NO...because if you did then you would know that our Holy book taught us to RESPECT other religions because believe it or not WE BELIEVE IN THEM. We actually believe in those other religions. We believe in Jesus, Moses, Noah and all the other prophets. You see why i'm telling you you have poor knowledge about our religion?

You're talking about 11 of september.. if one christian did a crime that doesnt mean all christians are criminals..does it??? even if you call this in the name of christianity ..and it's exactly similar to what happened in september 11. You have to differentiate between islam and those who call themselves muslims. If you know that piece of information then you would know what islam is really about. If you go back in history and read about history..then you would know that muslims were the most respectful and peaceful people back then. Just a simple fact..any wise person would know well about the issue before talking about it..and just try not to only listen to the media.. use your brain to recognize what is really happening and to actually read the media right and to recognize right from wrong. you are a typical example of the people in the west who follow what media tells them..brainwashed by media..without using your brain.
