Power

Religious wars are not about religion but simply fighting for power. It lasts forever. The aim is to control people as much as possible. To do so it is necessary to classify them first. Religion, nationality, color of skin etc. are just simple tools. If all these classifications are overruled, humans will create more.

CEO's of commercial company's shapes our modern age. Are they better than religious leaders in the past? Being good person means nothing but you are something if you consume certain products.

There should be room for all religions in this world. Allah gives us mind and heart. We are free to choose. Otherwise, Allah has power to put his rules and urge all people to live according to Quran. This is not what Allah wants from us. We are supposed to choose our religion.

We humans are neither angel nor devil. Trying to be a good person is more important than everything.

I am a scientist. I don't give any credit to evolution theory. My heart feels God. Life is designed by God as I design chemical processes. This is why I believe in God. I am a biological machine, perfectly created by Allah. Mind and heart help me to tell my Creator to "thank you".
