hi.... Welcome all "True Muslims are peaceful people wishing all the best for this world" Islam is a religion of peace .and please don't judge before listening to us. May God bless you all Muslims or Non-Muslims.
A wise man once said, blessed are the peacemakers....... PS: Bad idea for a poll, it will make the forum look bad....
Pretty bold move for their first post/poll.... Does anybody else think Robert Plant looks like the Gatekeeper from the boardgame Nightmare? Or maybe I'm the only one on the planet that's ever played it....
I've voted "no". I'm not saying that "Muslims are evil", but I believe that "Islam is evil" and therefor the true followers are as well! I've met some really cool Muslims, but they were the young, hippyish type Muslims who'd drink on the weekends and do basically whatever their parents wouldn't be able to catch them do
Well, most of the terrorists all over the world are muslims. I am not saying that muslim community is bad, i am sure they are just normal people like most of us, but those terrorist groups are definetely bringing a bad name to your religion.
You're a fucking idiot. Go on - give me some red... Seriously, why is it that every other post from you looks down on a certian group of people. Last time it pissed me off was when you were basically taking the piss out of one-parent families where the parents aren't around. Well Blobmaster, I'm happy you had a good upbringing where your parents were around. And I'm also pleased you've read the koran - you must have done, because you know islam is 'evil'. Why don't you go and crawl from under the rock you came you sad little man. Just for the record I'm not Muslim, but comments like "blogmasters' piss me off.
i voted i dont know, as i personally dont know a single "true" muslim, let alone whats on his mind but the question should have been phrased better... EVERYONE probably wishes what they think is the best for the world, but the problem is that those views of what is the best differ very much
Is that you Lordo? Or are you just friends with Lordo? Strange post for a first post, kind of a tell tale sign that you where already focussed on this topic by referal from Lordo or like i said maybe you are Lordo? Especially with a screenname like that. BTW... i voted NO since it's the minority of the Muslim community that causes the violence but unfortunately it leaves a big impact on the worlds society. If all the Muslims where violent because of religion then there would be a whole lot more of violence. But i do see why there is room for violence because of bad examples set by individuals that enjoy status and prestige in the muslim community such as Muslim Sheiks and Imams.
I didn't vote. But there are good muslims and bad muslims just like there are good and bad christians. Of course "good" and "bad" always depends on who you ask. The part of Islam that disturbs me revolves around the martyr cult. Iran has a "Museum of the Martyrs" that displays burned, torn, and shredded clothing of those who died for the faith. But there's also a Christian wax museum of martyrs in Ohio Martyrs in Wax. So who knows? On the Christian side, the Evangelicals disturb me. From what I've read they focus on the book of Revelations, not the Gospels, and so emphasize the Jesus who wields a mighty sword, not the one that says "he who lives by the sword dies by the sword". My uncle is an evangelical, and he gave everyone in our family a copy of the first volume of "Left Behind". Now there's a book full of love.
Islam is a religion of history; of religious traditions born of historical practice. It is a religion of revealed truth, in final, absolute form and as such, differs even from Christianity, which at its inception placed a greater emphasis on the sacrifice of Christ than on his role as prophet of the revealed word. From the start, within its community of believers, Islam has suffered bloodshed; and from without, in its sweeps across the Arabian Peninsula and later, Europe and other parts, it has inflicted that same bloodshed; conversion by the sword cannot be denied. It was practice. The role of the Caliphs was always to preserve the revealed word, and community of believers, from all inroads into its orthodoxy. Hence the problem within Islam. The Sunnis, emphasizing those who, like Peter and the apostles to Christ, were companions to Mohammed in his years of struggle and the establishment of Islam, and the Shi'ites, endowing the Hashim with an order of sacred legitimacy against the Sunni Caliphate. From the start, these Caliphate struggles were bathed in blood, and this blood continues today (in the firestorm about to start, in my view, with a pan-islamic sectarian civil war, between supranational Sunnis and Shi'ites). The Koran notwithstanding, the practice of Islam has shared with most other religions an ocean of blood.
Most, if not all modern religions are about peace. The three in greatest conflict with one another have the same root - - suggesting the rivalry of siblings seeking the blessings of the parents.
Hmm. Hadn't thought of it this way, nice post. Which reaffirms why I have always felt so sad about the arab-israeli conflicts...hell, all conflicts based on ethnicity. All semites; or all the same, with a miniscule difference in genetic makeup. All family.
I think those moon people cults who drink kool aid and kill themselves now and again are pretty close though
That could be, but modern wars are really conducted by businessmen, using the folks on all sides as pawns, it is the worship of money and power that moves these guys, not God, they attempt to use him too in their scams, but God said thou shalt not murder! He has nothing to do with the false prophets of doom on either side!
Bullshit, it's not interpreted that way. Now, before I get on my horse... not ALL Muslims are bad - therefore I don't hate Muslims. What I do hate though, are those Muslim extremists that think their on some sort of Holy War crusade against all those who stand in their path - Especially "American's". Show me a good Muslim and I'll show you 10 that aren't. You can say there are peaceful Muslims, sure... but to say that it's a religion of peace... bullshit. Let the red reps come, I don't care.
