How can you say that the Word of God has to reach your heart and then say that the things the Bible and Qur'an say don't matter? Aren't those the "Word of God"? It's sad to see people fighting over things that they probably don't know anything about. I grew up as a Christian but when I started college I began taking Philosophy classes on religion. I'm Muslim now.

When people talk about Jihad, they need to get their facts straight. The Qur'an forbids killing other "Ahlal Kitaab"...that means people of the book. It means Jews, Christians, and Muslims. These people that go and blow themselves up and say it's for their religion, they're stupid. They gave the Islamic religion a bad name and all that Americans learn about Islam they learn from the Media. The thing is, the people broadcasting on the news aren't Muslim so even they don't know what they are talking about. Maybe instead of being one of the media's sheep, you should go out and read a book for yourself...start with the Qur'an! Maybe you'll learn a thing or two.
