Red Mosque in Rebellion: A Reply to Mr. ahmadzafire

Submitted by Jaisingh Thakur (India), Jul 25, 2007 at 08:09

I completely agree with Mr.ahmadzafire that the taliban is not islam and that by their activities, they are bringing disgrace to the entire muslim community. Now I would urge Mr. ahmadzafire to tell me the name of one country where the faithfuls are behaving according to the tenets of islam.

The taliban, as Mr.ahmadzafire says, may not be islam, but at the same time it cannot be denied that they are the ones who have put their prophet's words of acquiring knowledge into practice. Today, they are well-equipped with the knowledge of the internet to download all destructive information about how to make syringe-bombs, acid bombs, etc.with the result that they pose the greatest threat to freedom and peace of the entire world.

For the information of Mr.ahmadzafire and other apologists of his ilk, I would like to point out that in this age, people will judge any religion or its scriptures solely by how their followers behave in their day-to-day life. This, and not anybody's sugar-coated words, alone, constitute the principles by which people choose to be guided in forming an opinion about a religious community and religion !
