I WONDER WHY?

Asalaamu alaykum to the mum'ineen,

First and foremost, I am a servant and Slave of Allah - ya Quddus, ya Wali, ya Ahad, ya Rahman, ya Aziz.

Many of the readers online have a complete prejudice against Islam even before they read the article, they accuse and accuse yet they don't look at their problems and mistakes. Islam doesn't enforce it's will on others unless they enforce it's will on It. Islam is a beautiful religion - you can mock it as much as you like, but in my hearts of hearts Islam is the One True religion, however i respect people's of other faiths. Many of my friend's are from various faiths including Hinduism, Sikhism, Christianity, Judaism and Buddhism. We all get along very well - they respect my religious beliefs and I respect their's.

I could point and mock christianity as well as other faiths - for example in the book of Genesis; the bible claims that God made vegitation and plants then God produced light - how the hell can plants live without sunlight? Whereas, if you look in the Qur'an, Allah says that first the planets were created each moving around its own celestial body. Which one makes sense to you?

Thats just one of many. Readers on this website mock the Qur'an by giving ayaats (verses) from the Qur'an but please stop using the internet to gather ayaats because you know very well that people distort them. If you give ayaats use a Qur'an and do it first hand instead of relying on other's information. At least question the reliability.

Islam is a beacon of hope for humanity. So many people wonder where these so-called 'Islamists' come from and the answer lies in people like you. Just a few days ago it emerged that a 14 year old MUSLIM girl was raped and her family killed by a group of so-called US Coalition troops. Then you wonder why there are Islamists and such insurgency in Iraq because the truth is Islam isn't the disease - you are.

People are quick to mention when a Muslim commits a crime but what about the christain, jewish or hindu man or women who commits a crime - why arent they labeled with their respective religions?

The reason why Islam is targeted so much - is because religion no longer exists in the modernised European 'way of life' - you don't wish to practise your religion and you mock those who practise theirs. You can argue all you wish but in your heart of hearts you know you do not implemnt religious beliefs in daily life.

'The Earth never changes unless the people living within it change.'

Alhamdulillah - I'm a Muslim - thank my lord for it because since Islam has been highlighted in the media - I recogise, love and am proud of my idenitiy. Inshallah Allah will punish those who insult Islam on the day of Qiyamah. Ameen.

Fi Amaan Nillah
