Jackal, the REALLY sad thing is

Jackal

I understand your need for a desperate but pitiful argument, but there's no need to jump to conclusions about someone. Never in my life did I ever worship Muhammad (s), and never in my comments did I say or imply that. if you are a Muslim, then you know that to worship Muhammad is shirk...and it is never forgivable. if you are Christian, then you know better than I do about "follow[ing] the man and not the God"...at least we don't worship someone who was a PERSON like the rest of us...but I'm not here to insult anyone. I never said that Muhammad (s) was the "voice of God", that is what the Christians say about Jesus (they go as far as to say he was the SON of God...what?!). so you seem to have your religions mixed up.

In regards to "false promises" and "false hopes", my only response is that I feel sorry for you. you hold on to a false hope that living your life for no one except yourself and this world (secularism) is the way to success...you put blind trust in the false promises of bliss and success from people who want to push religion from you and make you live life for the world. people decieve you until death...people lie to you until death, and only through death do we...wake up. the Prophet Muhammad (s) (who you seem to hate very much) once said that "people are asleep, and when they die they will wake up". now he is not the "voice of God" as you say i believe, but he was guided. he was given the message of the Truth, and such a statement should send electricity through your veins because deep down, you know it is true. deep down you know that the way of life that we live today is wrong, and it will only hurt us in the End.

To fight against something that will hurt us in the End is not wrong. to fight against an oppressive system (oppressing us by denying us True Success) is not wrong. and to have the willingness to lay your life down to make dominant the [system of life] which will help us when we truly need it is not wrong. no, Jackal, it is you who needs to wake up. wake up and see that you live in a world of deception, and these talks of "peace" are in reality only roads which postpone suffering until a time when suffering is the LAST thing you will want! think about it Jackal, and free yourself from the narrowness of this world to the vastness of the next. my regards.
