Is Islam still the religion of peace? Maybe, you should ask those caught up in the mall incident in Kenya or the Peshawar Christians in Pakistan...

..Some days ago, two Muslim suicide bombers entered All Saints Anglican Church in Peshawar, and slaughtered around 80 Christians and maimed many more as they worshipped God and praised Jesus.

That ugly incident occurred just at same time some Somali Muslims entered a mall in Kenya, separated the shoppers into Muslims and non-Muslims and to be sure those who claim to be Muslims are truly Muslims, they were asked the name of the mother of Mohammed. Those who failed the test were slaughtered alongside those who did not identify themselves as Muslims.

I am not sure if you actually know the situation of religious minorities in Pakistan. Simply, if you are not a Muslim, you are dinning with the devil! One blogger summarised it thus: "You have absolutely no idea how many Christians cower behind locked doors and boarded-up windows, living in terror of those who say they follow the example of Mohammed in cleansing the land of non-Muslims".

"Christians routinely have their houses burned, their schools and hospitals destroyed, and their churches desecrated and vandalised. In Pakistan, it is not uncommon for entire Christian families to be burned to death inside their houses. The crime is allegedly 'blasphemy' against Islam-invariably baseless, but the summary punishment is meted out by a baying horde-sometimes thousands strong-and there is no mercy from the clubs, sticks and stones",-the blogger added.

Situation on ground shows that christian towns and villages in Pakistan are being reduced to slums; poverty is endemic. Children are poorly educated (except in the private schools) and local politicians are corrupt. And this includes some of the Christian leaders, who have little concern for social welfare, security, justice or human rights.

"Christians in Pakistan are hunted by complete strangers and haunted by fear. Muslims dare not convert or intermarry with Christians on pain of death. The pulpits whisper their sermons for fear of upsetting the mosques, and the graveyards are filling. There is social segregation, economic hardship and political disenfranchisement. Abduction and forced conversion to Islam are commonplace-especially among young girls. These are rarely reported to the police for fear of the consequences",-noted the blogger.

This is sad and the fact that this happens in the name of God makes fun and mockery of the concept of God. Maybe, I maybe right after all after be vilified for suggesting that religion and hatred go hand in hand and that one needs a heart of darkness and wickedness to be a believer.

"To be a Christian in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan is to be persecuted and oppressed. The Muslims who persecute and oppress the infidels are simply doing their job. Those who blow themselves up and kill Christians in their churches are martyrs for the cause of Allah and the greater glory of the Prophet of Islam",-says the blogger.

Islam in any country is a people sitting on a time bomb.There is no country that has a tolerant version... You never know who will pop and loose his/her mind once the person feels the heavenly virgins may be out of reach if they don't go the extra mile to prove to Allah that they deserve the virgins..United Kingdom has a tolerant Islam too but see how that Micheal guy turned out to be,,,The issue is not tolerance but their quest for enjoyment in the after-life...Even Mohammed said he couldn't promise anyone paradise but only through their works for Allah can they attain the after life....So the quest for Jihad can spark up from any angle as long as they fear Hell.So the issue with Islam is not belief but fear that their good works may not be enough to make paradise so Jihad may be a boost.

Can somebody tell me the above is not true?
