To add to Maggie's statement and a reply to Sultan

As a committed Catholic and as a believer of peace that was a clear message from Jesus, there are many proofs on getting rights peacefully; one is Gandhi and his peaceful struggle to get back his country's freedom.

I totally agree with Maggie, good Muslims are those who do NOT follow Muhammad as an example and do not follow Quran. Muhammad life's is full of wars who he always finds justifications for. Quran is full of suras that encourage killing, muslims say that these suras were sent from GOD to encourage muslims to defend themselves, this does not make any sense to a logical person who believe in human rights and in people' right to be treated in dignity.

And it doesn't make any sense to accuse GOD that he would allow killing whatever the reason is. As if GOD gave the power to Mohammad and his followers to decide who to live and who to die.

There is NO justification whatsover for killing and there are no winners in wars.

Even self defense can be done peacefully, no justification whatsoever for blood shed. Violence will only create violence, a victory done by oppression will not last. example are all of the great emperors that at a certain point have ended.

Peace be with you
