Hey, Al: have you ever seen Kristiane Backer in action? I’m guessing probably not. Besides, I’d rather listen to what she has to say, given her message of peace and integrity, than pay any kind of attention to the misogynistic mentality that you are proposing. (I mean, what else can you call a person who refers to women as cattle?)

pretty hilarious that anyone would offer a “MTV presenter” as an example of a mentality we ought to pay serious attention.

Islam is the universal religion and believe in the well being of humanity. Prophet Muhammad ( Peace be upon him) always preached the message of love and peace. During battles when armies moved on a large scale he always instructed to avoid destroying crops and the trees.Islam even orders not to waste water even if you are sitting on the bank of a river. This whole universe is running according to a ecological balance and every human being should work together to save this earth for the future generations.

A precious stone wrapped in dirty pile of rags. Islam is the precious stone. Muslims the dirty pile of rags. Difficult to convince the value of the stone when they can only see and smell the rags. Muslims must clean/replace theses rags so that others can see the precious stone. – Quoted from a wise sufi master. Ramadhan Mubarak and May Allah’s love be channelled through you to all your loved ones.

what do the following have in common? Nazis, Hitler, Afikaan Apartheid regime, Ku Klux Klan,Reverent Paisley, Spanish Inquisition, Paedophile Priests, Anders Breivik, Serbians. Answer: They are all Christians! Fortunately, we don’t (and should never) blame Christianity for the acts of these people – their acts aren’t Christian-like. In the same way, please don’t judge the BILLIONS of muslims by the un-islamic acts of a few Muslims.

Zalloum: Do you think it is possible to follow the rules without finding a violent interpretation in them?

yah sure, Islam urged to take care of the environment around us, not to cut trees or waste water (even if we were on a running river)… Islam asked for all of this but forgot to ask not to KILL CHRISTIANS and bomb their churches…. don’t you tell me about Islam, i thank God everyday i had the COURAGE to leave it, though my BLOOD is shed now… who cares, i am a free man now! my mind is free to think, i don’t have to follow the rules, i simply follow my heart and mind
