Nashita, Our Naive Muslim

Nashita, who do you think has a better understanding of Islam, some naive, hijab clad, Muslim woman who is going to end up in hell, according to Muhammad, or Osama bin Laden, a university trained engineer and Dr. Zawahiri, a medical doctor. Are you better educated than an engineer, or a medical doctor? Surely, when an engineer and doctor tell us that they are true Muslims, and they demonstrate their piety by sacrificing their lives of affluence in order to adhere to their religion, we should assume that they are not equivalent to a couple of high school drop outs who have misunderstood Islam.

Both Osama and Dr. Zawahiri could be living in mansions, traveling the world, raising their families in peace and living their lives as millionaires, instead they have chosen the way of Islam and are living in caves, facing death on a daily basis. You are absolutely wrong and misguided when you state that there's only one problem with Islam, either you are a terrorist or you don't take the religion seriously. Both Osama bin Laden and Dr. Zawahiri, do take their religion very seriously and because of that, they are terrorists. It is becoming both annoying and tiresome to listen to Muslims declaring that Islam is a religion of peace and Muslims are such peace loving people, and on a regular basis listening to reports of Muslim acts of terrorism, destruction and death.

The world should have more respect for Osama and Zawahiri, rather than regular Muslims, for they are honest and truthful about their goals and aspirations and not deceitful as most Muslims are declaring that they are all about peace yet looking forward to the day that Muslims rule the world. Frankly, I would rather deal with someone who tells me that they hate me and want to kill me than someone who whines about how peace loving they are, while holding a knife behind their back, or a bomb in their pants and waiting for an opportunity to kill me. How many innocents do you think will die before the world finally wakes up to acknowledge that Islam has once again brought strife to the world? My last bit of advise to you is stop with "read the Qur'an". I've read 3 different copies, am working on my 4th and have another one on order. Yes, and I've also read all 93 chapters of Sunnah, or Ahadith or Hadith or whatever you call it.
