Much like Christians... Muslims in the Middle East are about grabbing power. They claim Jihad. Christians will two face you in the "name of Democracy" Chap. A Muslim will shoot you in the head. A Christian will mind-f**k you into submission so that you are living a zombie life. I actually appreciate the Muslims more than the Christians, at least the suffering ends with a bullet. 9-11 incidently was about control of a region not necessarily about God though neither side will claim it to be that way. Americans are just as fanatical about their Economy as Arabs are about their Religion. They use Religion for Power... Americans their Economy AND sickeningly enough their Religion in conjuntion with each other.

Human being will always stray from the perfect path Allah has given us there is no doubt about that.
Allah has not created us to be perfect nor does He expect us to obey him like the angels do, without making mistakes, for the angels have not been created with free will and we have. What He expects from us is that we seek his mercy and forgiveness when we DO err and that is the essence of worship in Islam.
Muhammed has been sent to whole of mankind. And Allah has promised to preserve Islam, for example not one letter of the Quran has been changed whereas the Bible has over 2000 different versions. There is also a great reward offered in memorising the whole Quran so no mater how many of the texts are burnt or destroyed there will always be people who have the quran in their hearts.
Jesus never said he was the son of God nor did he asked to be worshiped but people distorted the truth after his ascention to Heaven. |
I don't respect either Christianity or Islam but if I had to respect something that makes a tiny bit of sense... that Jesus didn't call himself the Son Of God seems to make more sense if he was a wise person at all.
