Abdul Rahman: Islam and the turth! And how do you propose that one can cover the truth?

Reader comment on item: Muslim-Controlled Governments Subsidize Conversions of Kafirs
in response to reader comment: your interpretation is wrong

So what is really the Islamic truth? and why should you or I believe it? care to comment? Enlighten us ya ayuha al-faylassof al-kabeer!

For those reading this thread:

The word kafir means:

1. A non-muslim.

2. Under certain conditions a Muslim can be declared a kafir. And I refer here to the sordid ibn Taymiyya and following in his path Sayyid Qutb that even if a Muslim declares al-shahada (ashhadu ana la Illah ila allah wa ashhadu ana Muhmmadan rasul allah) and then this Muslim goes out and let us say celebrate Muhmmad's birthday (Maulid al-nabi) he is a kafir. Also Muslims that visit the tombs of Sufi saints are also supposed to be kufar.

As for your bizarre and illogical metaphor of covering the truth you only hear this nonsense from Pakistanis and it is even not worth responding to.
