I understand what the Op is trying to tell us, but all that you say about islam is only how you wish things were, not how it really is. Muslims will kill you and burn your house if you mock their prophet or abuse the quran. They will not only kill you, they will even go to the extent of killing anybody who practice your religion an burn down churches! That is how violent muslims are... and dont be surprise that the Op will be the frst person to throw the stone at you. An atheist can come to a christian community and say "there is nothing like yahwe and that christ story is a scam" . and people (a pastor,bishop or any clegyman) will just tell laugh at him or tell him to come for bible studies for prayers and dilverance. or must cases ignore him. and the matter will just end there. But if same thing happens in any muslim community, all hell would be let lose in the whole of middle east and northern africa! imams will set a bounty on the head of the atheist,churches would be burned, christians would lose their lives even though it was an atheist and not a christian that made mockery of their prophet or relgion. CAN THE OP DENY THAT? CAN ANY MUSLIM DENY THAT? Don't blame the media when for your problems, blame yourselves! the media have been saving you people from yourselves longer than i can remember. take a look at the lady that was almost sentenced to death just because she denouced islam, and your muslim brothers were going to kill her despite the fact that she was pregnant! How evil can a religion get? how evil can a religion get that they openly slaughter people in plublic while quoting verses from the Quran to support their sensless evil act? and they will still post it on the internet! Imagine! The Media is only showing the World what islam truely is... a violent religion. Blame your imams and conscience and inbuilt violent nature for your problems! blame yourselves. Look inwards. look at the man in the mirror 17 Likes |

Well so sad I've got quite a number of muslim friends whom I care so much about. Personally I hate to get involved in religious arguments but truth be told I think that Muslims have kept quiet for too long and are not speaking loud enough to condemn the actions of some of these sects whom are tarnishing the image of the islamic religion sometimes it's like they themselves are afraid of these sects. The sooner all muslims all over the world rise up and speak out louder against these sects the better for everyone. For Christians the bible says do unto others what you want them to do unto you but this golden rule can also be applied to humanity as a whole. The world have sat and watched muslims do almost nothing or not enough as other non-muslims have been persecuted and punished in their communities for example the recent case of the sudanese woman. 3 Likes |

Such posts sicken me to be honest. What you have given us is YOUR INTERPRETATION OF THE QURAN while Abubakar Shekau and Boko Haram have their own interpretation believing Allah is vengeful and sanctions this wave of killings. After all, Allah sanctioned it before with prophet Muhammad, so why are you so arrogant to believe he can not be exacting his will through Boko Haram?!?! Admit it, Abubakar Shekau is as much a Muslim as you and all of your clerics and he is using that same QURAN to justify his actions. It is like Deeper Life calling baptist churches fake... wtf?! 5 Likes |

IyfeNamikaze: I understand what the Op is trying to tell us, but all that you say about islam is only how you wish things were, not how it really is.You are so on point. A few years back, at the university of ibadan a girl went to preach inside a mosque and she was beaten to a state of coma by the worshippers even the so called undergraduates. If not for the police she could have died. I don't support her going to the mosque to preach but just to give you an idea of the kind of violence that runs in their blood. 9 Likes |

Yeah yeah we get it there are Muslims all over the world doing bad stuff but the FACT remains that that is NOT what the Quran teaches nor how the Prophet (S.A.W) lived his life. EOD So all that verse quoting you people do to attack Muslims or all that verse quoting terrorists do to justify their actions is all WRONG for various reasons , the simplest one being that they were revealed a time long ago for a certain situation. I wont even bother to say anything anymore since I'm pretty sure this has been said like a million times but none of you or them (terrorists) will ever listen. But i will admit that there's a large amount of ignorant Muslims in this world that harbor some disliking or hate towards other faithfuls for whatever reasons so i guess its only normal that we would get the same treatment from other ignorant people. 1 Like |

drfk001: Don't say We versus Them. Look around u, all the so called fighting was it really an Islamic fight or politically motivated. The present one Gaza vs Israel isn't it a fight for land? Boko haram aren't they asking for an Islamic country of their own? We all know their claim of western education is a sin is faux, otherwise y r they using western product to fight. Why do they kill muslims that preach against them if they r really fighting for islam. Pls Don't use their action to judge the entire Muslims. In regards to what u mentioned about Hitler and Bush. whether it was religious or not they killed innocent people. 2 Likes |

yousee: Muslims have a whole lot of work to do. The media, isn't helping them one bit. I was raised in northern Nigeria, I knew how peaceful and tolerant we all lived in the early 80's. Imagine a young Christian child going into a mosque to nap after playing football with his Muslim friends on Saturdays. The imam will wake me up to go home when it's time for 4pm prayers. I love this so much and wish our lives can really be this simple again |

Re: Being Muslim And The Danger Of A Single Story by oieda: 9:49am On Jul 25, 2014 |
I don't know much of the Quran but the follow are my views... 1. Almost all terrorist groups have an Islamic origin. From a predominantly Islamic country or having much of their belief having Islamic roots. I don't care if they are bad Muslims. I am yet to see a bad Hindu person be a suicide bomber. Or a bad atheist be one. 2. The Quran clearly says a Muslim must partake in Jihad once in his lifetime. Jihad, that is holy war. Why should a religion advice it's followers thus. As pa no matter what whether there is no need for such, say there is peace through someone's lifetime he must still find a way for holy war. 3. There is usually a drive, a spirit and unseen force that drives each and every religious practice. And that is why certain religions are known by certain traits. Correct me if I am wrong but Islam ranks number 1 in terms of violence. See Libya, Egypt, Syria and Iran. And if non-Muslims are practicing a wrong/false religion won't it be further wickedness to kill them so they go to 'hell'? And lastly, what do women get in paradise? please do not insult, just correct where I am wrong. Insulting further buttresses the already stated assumption that you are violent. 3 Likes |

tamertery: 4 me its a big waste of time trying to convince dem anti-islamic folks about islam, cause even tho their was nfn like BH, nd other terrorist organisations claiming to b muslims nd painting islam in black, Allah alredy said it in d QUR'AN (vey will never ever be satisfied with you till you join their religion) hell is hotter mehn I think I can withstand the heat and discrimination from the non-muslim folks but not that of my lord, my creator, my God, ALLAH, the lord of abraham, isaac, joseph, david, solomon, ezra, elijah, moses, jesus and muhammad(may the peace nd blessings of GOD be upon dem all) ameen, guys its jus a temporary life, rather than waste ur tym hating, go on and look for salvation, seek knowledge on how to look 4 salvation, nd worry about life aftr ds temporary world, May God protect us and grant us a good ending in the hereaftr, cause their comes a day my brothers nd sisters when there will b no hiding place, no lawyer to defend u, no amnt of wealth to safe u, twil b jus u nd ur deeds... May GOD save us, ameenyou have not addressed the matter.... Besides "Allah" is the lord of Muhammad alone. The others u mentioned? Jehovah Elohim is their Lord. And besides also, the bible says that Ishmael (and his descendants) shall be against everyone, and everyone shall be against him (Gen 16:9-12).

We can't continue this self-deceit, we just can't! The stereotypical perspective with which others view Muslims is daily justified by their activities worldwide. Recent case in Sudan readily springs to mind, the age long state animousity towards those of other religious leanings in Saudi Arabia, Iran and many other Middle East countries is well known and documented; this stance is re echoed in virtually all predominantly Muslim nations and even communities worldwide. Christians, who have had to school in Universities sited in Muslim communities in Nigeria can give you their gory tales, tales of RELIGIOUSLY sponsored aggression against non-muslim practitioners. We can't continue to deceive ourselves, we just can't. SOME christians may have been guilty of terror acts, but such have never been religiously justified. Like someone asked earlier, what will be the OP's reaction should someone insult Muhammad in his presence, especially where he is sure those of his religion are in the majority? The answer is clear...VIOLENCE! It takes more than a few articles to change people's perspectives about Islam, it takes action - complete action! Total action! 4 Likes |
