Have we lost the ability to critically analyze events

9/11 did occur. No one is denying that. No muslim should be proud that it occured. However i would like to make a comment to you and any observer that will help you analyse things more rationally. Islam is a religion ordained by Allah ( Allah is the Arabic word for God), Muslims are the followers of Islam.

In a parable, if you drive a car recklessly and dangerously which causes you to have an accident, do you blame the car or do you blame yourself. Yes you blame the car. Well Islam is the car and we muslims are the drivers. If muslims commit wrongs then you blame them not the religion.

Islam stands on its own, you judge Islam by its primary sources.

Further, do you think that no muslims died in 9/11. The fact is that if you were to judge Islam against itself and not the actions of muslims, you will find that Islam is indeed a Religion of Peace.

Also, Islam states that killing one person (including non muslims) is like killing all of humanity, and saving one person is like saving all of humanity.

And on your comment about the virgins, looks like you have lost the ability to analyse matters and rely heavily on the media to teach you things. I can ensure that you didnt read that in any muslim book, so you most likely heard it from the media.

Please research before you post things on the web. I sincerly mean it. God has given you the intellect to research and analise things for yourself.

Lastly, may the peace and blessings of Almighty God be upon all of his beloved messengers who came down to earth to reveal to us a way of life that is pleasing and accepting to God.
