I'm not happy being a Muslim, I hated Islam with all my soul, I just pray and attend mosque out of the fear of stigmatization or death, the truth is, there's no love, understanding and tolerance in Islam, just so much hate and are quick to get judgemental, God please help me, I really want out.

Why can't you Muslims believe in Muhammad to be sinless and perfect rather than believing in Jesus Christ to be a perfect, sinless and highly revered Prophet?

OF COURSE THERE'S LOVE FAIRNESS, UNDERSTANDING AND TOLERANCE IN ISLAM.

FOLLOW WHAT ISLAM TEACHES.
DON'T FOLLOW WHAT MUSLIMS DO.

THERE'S A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE IN THE TWO.

This is very unlike an average Muslim, I was expecting a crude and harsh response from my Muslim brothers, you really showed maturity and tolerance, how I wish all Muslims are like you, the actions of many Muslims have taken the desire to continue being a Muslim out of my heart, the truth is, the way we treat people with contrary opinions is repulsive.

YOU'RE RIGHT BROTHER.

LOTS OF EXTREMISTS AND HARSH PEOPLE IN OUR FOLD WHO ARE MOSTLY IGNORANT.
THEY TOO FOLLOW WHAT OTHER PEOPLE (like them) SAY.

WHEREAS THE QURAN AND THE PROPHET'S SUNNAH ARE FULL OF COMMANDMENTS ON KINDNESS, CHARITY, GOOD NEIGHBOURLINESS etc ALL IN THE SERVICE OF THE ONE TRUE EVERLASTING GOD (ALLAH).

PLEASE SEEK AND STICK TO WHAT HE AND HIS PROPHET SAY AS YOU WILL ACCOUNT ONLY FOR YOUR OWN DEEDS.

SALAAM BROTHER.
