A Muslim writes.

A Muslim wrote :- Yes, I agree there are some so called Muslims who bring disrepute to Islam but, the disrepute that Christians have brought upon themselves is beyond comparison. Hitler killed 6 million Jews. Was he a Muslim? Was it an Islamic country that bombed Japan? Was it an Islamic country that waged war against Vietnam? Did the Muslims encourage and spread slavery in Africa? Were the holy Crusades carried out by Muslims? Was the native Indian population in the Americas wiped out by Muslims? Were the native Aborigines in Australia annihilated by the Muslims? Look in your own dirty wardrobe before you talk nonsense.

You need to stop the rhetoric and ponder the following points :- 1) Hitler did not carry out the holocaust because of his religon. 2) Islam was an ally of Hitler. Remember that Persia changed it's name to Iran (Aryan and Iran both come from the same word base) on the say so of Hitler himself. 3) Vietnam? No it wasn't muslims who attacked Vietnam, one of the very few countries islam has not attacked. BUT remember that Vietnam was not a "holy war", and most people did not support the Vietnam war, unlike the majority of muslims who freely support murder in the name of their "religion".

4) AND THIS IS A GREAT ONE. Islam did not spread slavery in Africa? LMAO, the koran itself supports slavery. Mohammed himself supported slavery. HE WORKED ON THE SLAVE CARAVANS. Muslims were taking slaves from all over Africa AND Europe hundreds of years before the "west" started trading in slaves. For you to state that Islam does not support slavery is like saying the sun does not shine and shows that you are ignorant of the facts of your own "religion". 5) THE CRUSADES? Why do muslims constantly bang on about the crusades when they know very well that the crusades were launched by Pope Urbann II in response to 400 YEARS OF ISLAMIC INVASION AND VIOLENCE AGAINST CHRISTIAN COUNTRIES. The crusades were a DEFENCE against muslim aggression.

I suspect you know this but you use standard islamic rhetoric to paint yourself as the victim rather than the perpetrator in order to continue your violent jihad. Your comments are vapid. You obviously are just regurgitating what you have been told rather than thinking for yourself and examinging the facts. Sadly this has been the muslim way ever since mohammed invented islam for his own ends.
