Dear friends, the word Kafir doesnt mean enemy of Islam..Kafir means denier..of the concepts and ideas of islam..Quran have no instructions to kill kafirs otherwise all prophets would have massacred millions and billions of non beleivers. In fact all prophets just sent message of Allah swt to the people.

Your Jesus is of same importance to us and any wrong word against jesus means you are not muslim. We cannot be your enemy because we respect your religious figures and we are bound to do that. Unfortunately this is not same on your side. Every now and then there is offense from west either in the form of Salman Rushdi..or mileading cartoons..or otherwise. All these incidents ignites the negative feelings and the reaction is then exploited by the media.

The larger percentage of Muslims are peaceful but their contributions in societies, sports, science and culture is simply ignored. The architecture of muslims in Spain, Central Asia, Pakistan, India and elsewhere can convince the world that Muslims are not terrorists. The offensive moves against Muslim countries iqnites anti west sentiments which are then exploited by people like Usama ( i strongly beleive that he is not well wisher of muslims).

My point of view is that 9/11 was a fabricated event tried to raise negative image of islam. I cant believe that airplanes with so much precision struck twin towers with not a single wing or tail fell short of the target. The amazing fact is that pentagon was hit with a ghost airplane with no real debris of any kind found in place..That was a remarkable job well done by neocons who also successfully convinced americans that novice muslim pilot hit their targets perfectly. Bravo... I salute those who are convinced after so much suspiciouns raised by the media and elected Mr. Bush twice to kill and abuse thousands of Muslims..
