Islam has time..

As a convert, I'm shocked to read the views of some people. Most of whom don't have a CLUE about what Islam really is! We Muslims love prophet Jesus as much as we love Muhammad and as lot as we love Noah, Abraham, Moses and all the other righteous prophets which God sent to humanity.

Some people around here seem to forget that we are talking about the SAME God who sent the SAME prophets. The Qur'an even tells us that the message is also a confirmation of the Bible and the Torah. But even this ..I doubt that people around here know.. Some of you should be ashamed! You're just spreading hate instead af comprehension!

The people of the Middle East (Saudis, Egyptians, etc...) do NOT represent TRUE Islam; as Islam urges to seek knowledge. Prophet Muhammad said: "Pursue knowledge, even if you have to travel to China for it..".
These monarchies in the Middle East, etc.. have astrayed far away from true Islam, they are deforming the real image of Islam.

During half a century they enjoyed living in luxury from the benefits of oil. They didn't create a modern society as they should have(..). What are their accomplishments? What are their contributions to human development? Accomplishments, knowledge, science, ...these are the 'measurements' of human greatness.

The Muslims from the past dominated all these fields, they contributed to mankind. Each day the numbers you use came from the Islamic civilization, each day the math you perform came from the Islamic civilization, etc.. Just look it up and you'll be amazed what daily things you use came from that civilization.

But indeed, I have to admit it to you.. thanks to these 'fake', stupid Muslims around the world, with their 'Sharia' and their main topic 'the woman', you get opportunities to criticize Islam and you keep rattling.

But let me tell you this: Things change.., the shape of nature changes, it may take time ..but still ..it CHANGES(..) ..and Islam isn't just here for a couple of centuries, it's here till the end of time. Till the day where all mankind will be resurrected and asked about his actions his contributions good or evil. So Islam has time.. and all what's happening today will be a lesson for generations to come...

P.S.
I'm happy to announce to you that Islam is still growing and will assimilate new cultures, new ideas, new people that will change the face of Islam as we know today. It's all a matter of time..
