In response to Abdulrahman

It shocks me to think that you are telling the world that we Muslims are better than others. How can you believe that? There are good people in every race and religion and being a Muslim doesn't automatically make you better than the next person! You have to live as the Koran says so be considered a good Muslim but it doesn't mean you are superior than anyone else.

There are many Christians who live with great morals and goodness. Then there are those Muslims who in their twisted minds think that it is okay to kill innocent men, women and children merely to prove a point. These fundamentalists are out of their minds and are causing nothing but anguish and pain all around.

People - this is the 21st Century whatever happened to diplomacy and negotiations? Why can we not be tolerant of each other? Lets stop this hatred. I am proud to be a Muslim but lets be intelligent in the way we react to people and situations. Our beloved Prophet Muhammed (Peace and blessings be Upon Him) was the perfect human and best diplomat, when they finally conquered Mecca it was done without a single drop of blood! Our Prophet loved with all his heart Jesus (peace and blessings be upon Him) as he said he was the nearest to him. Of course, we all love Prophet Abraham (Peace and blessing upon Him) because Allah loved him the most. So why is it that we cannot tolerate each other?

So please brother Abdulrahman don't let your anger and ignorance destroy those the tolerance and love of the non-muslims who are supporting us, at least they are taking the time to write and defend us, whereas there are too many muslims who either show their ignorance or do nothing at all!
