"Fear Muhammad (PBUH)? Hate Islam? Its a good news for us. The more you attack Islam, the stronger is our faith, the stronger is the Islamic brotherhood."

I'm glad I can be of service to you and Islam, Very Very Innocent. You really don't have to get all philosophical on me and start quoting Mahatma Gandhi though. The answer to your question is much more basic than what you and Mahatma have come up with. The world is done with Islam's terrorist tactics. We see right through you and your 'talk' of a peaceful Islam and what peaceful beginnings you came from. I really think you guys need to come to grips with that and come up with a new tactic instead of FORCING people into your religion (for example: honor killings, Sharia law, killing those who leave it), FORCING people to change their own traditions in order to accomodate you in their own countries, and FORCING your females to live subservient lives to their men (i.e., female genital mutilation-- a form of controlling or FORCING your women to live a chaste and loyal life by taking away her ability to have enjoyment.)

So in answer to your question: "What is so strong in Islamic brotherhood, that you fear?" Who said it's fear? It's more like disgust and refusal to submit to your archaic, midevil, terrorist mindset in all that you do. Unfortunately, I see a direct link to how your prophet handled matters. I know this flies in the face of what you all try to portray him as, but I'm not seeing it. When he couldn't convince the people of his 'vision' and his new religion, he FORCED it on them-- plain and simple. I'm sorry this offends you. Your FORCEFUL methods have worked for many years with the way you treat your own people and keeping them all down and subservient with your tyrannical methods, but in the meantime, the world outside Islam was becoming more and more civilized through the centuries and learning and growing and developing.
