LETS BE TOLERANT!
I just joined this site today, and what intolerance I have heard!! It disgusts me to the core to see a whole group of Christians gang up and trash the great religion of Islam while uplifting their own religion.
While, I do admit, there are elements of Islam as well as saying of the Quran that disturb me, we must keep in mind that it is a religion in which billion people across the globe adhere to, and we must remember that the fundamental elements to Islam are justice, mercy and compassion. Does the Qu'ran not begin with the saying:
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
As well, keep in mind that the Quran is, quite possibly, the finest work of Arab literature in HISTORY.
Now did Jesus not teach us that we must not be hypocrites?
The Chrisitian Scriptures themselves are plagued with terrible and murderous commands. Take note:
- God deliberately hardens pharoahs heart so that he will refuse to let his people go....all so that God may have glory for himself
- God has the first born son of every family in Egypt murdered, killing people who had nothing to do with the conflict
- God commands the Israelite armies to committ genocide, to cleanse the land of the pagain influence, he even tells his army to "SHOW THEM NO MERCY"
It is no mistake that the Ancient Israelites refered to God as "God of the Armies", for indeed he was a God of war.
So consider this before attacking Islam.
