Response to Susan

Submitted by Moderate Muslim (United States), Feb 24, 2007 at 22:22

In response to the Muslims of the world not knowing their religion, I would point out that most of the governments in "Muslim countires" are not democratic, and do not represent the faith. They are in most cases dictatorial and inhumane, and in most cases the people cannot vote. Therefore, the masses cannot choose who is in power. The leaders are not following Islam, and are in most cases fairly ruthless.

For example, you don't see radical laws and stoning in places like Indonesia, where their is democracy and freedom, and one can do as one chooses.

I will not respond to the demonic charges put against the prophet of God, except to say that they are false. I am not admitting that you are right, I just have no wish to talk about claims which are very nasty and perverse.
