Islam is the True religion

Reader comment on item: What is Jihad?

Submitted by Muslim (Saudi Arabia), Aug 27, 2005 at 05:14

Dear All,

After reading all your comments I would like to say that in Quran Allah has clearly specifed in verse that "I have created the world in different nation, different tribes and sectors so that you human being can understand each other not to fight with each other" the other verse is "Call the non muslims towards you on the common terms between you and them" i.e praising the creator allmighty God Allah and submitting to him by our prayers, so borthers and sisters, Jihad is broad and deep meaning, well now a days media is labelling "Jihad" to every cause just to humilate Islam and its teaching. Jihad has many stages, criteria and law to perform it's just not like go blind on streets and kill any body. This is not Jihad but serious crime. If you consdier crime than whole world crime is going on like gang wars, political wars, many other terrorist organization are working still, so crime is going on but the point is when something is done by muslim it is rapidly and strongly labeled "Jihad". my question is why world media and people not labeling anyother criminal activity going on in world.

As such Muslim and Islam are the target of West and Americans.Many readers posted Islam was spread on Jihad, than the fact examples are countries like singapore,malaysia,Brunei,indonesia,maldives and many more where no muslim army went to concequor their land or forced them to convert. First of all Islam never teach force to convert anybody in Islamic Faith. Further if you really want to see than fact is in colonial rule all major colonial countries British,France,Portugese,Italy etc have used forced and many other tactics to convert people into christanity ruled by them. Infact Islam has no missonarie work as what christians are doing till present stage. so everycoin has its two sides. If you all point the finger on Islam and Muslims than aware that rest four fingers are pointing towards you.

Islam is the youngest and fastest growing religion. Islam is the religion for the people of understanding. So please first read the thorough message of Islam and then say something.

May Allah Bless You.
