Great answer, B. Mustapha.

nice words brother B. Mustapha. ...Also when he said that our Prophet taught violence, he overlooked the fact that he granted pardon to the Makkans when it was conquered and even his worst enemy Abu Suffiyan.
Also when he went to Taif (I recommend ppl to read more on this) he prayed for the ppl who hit him with stones and injured him badly.

How then can anyone say that he encouraged violence?
Quran is filled with verses about love and forgiving why doesn;t anyone notice that?

I request that next time when someone talks abt Islam, instead of memorizing a few quotes from anti Islamists, he should actually study it in detail and look at the good stuff too with an open mind.
