Our prophet has never claimed that he was a superior being!

But, if you contemplate deeply about how he left us with Islam, our great relegion, you'd give him the credit he deserves. Muhamed was a great man, and the last messanger of God's last religion to the whole wide world, namely; ISLAM, or submission to the will of the Allah almighty. Islam, dear friends, is a great religion that once (and still is) by the will of God, believed in by half of the world's population.

And once upon a time, it prevailed from the shores of the English channel to the shores of the sea of Japan (all nations within included). Thus, there must be something about this religion that made people still choose it as their ultimate way to reach God. As a muslim, I thoroughly studied the old and new testaments, with all its books and revelations, and, I ask those of you who judge Islam in a prejudicial way to read about this great relegion before attacking it.

Indeed, it's no fault of Muhamed's religion that we're cursed with extremists who de-construct Islam in their evil ways, rather, we look for our brothers in humanity from other religions to contribute and help us rid the world of their evil, just like it was done before with the evils of Nazism and the ku-klux-clan and the likes of both. Islam, isn't a religion of extremism, rather it was quoted in the holy Quran that, and i quote,"we've made you into a moderate (middle) nation, so that you'll bear witness and be referees to the rest of humanity", that is the true spirit of Islam, which every body should know and appreciate.

Lastly, I call for peace to prevail in the whole wide world, as our perturbed world really needs that now urgently, more than any other thing in the world, and, indeed, more than ever before.
