Mohammad was persecuted much in the same way Jesus was persecuted, both suffered for their religious beliefs. What makes their situations so unique is that they both lived devoted to the same God, the God of Moses, and Abraham. Mohammad claimed to have been brought to heaven by the Angel Gabriel; in heaven he reportedly saw Abraham, and Jesus. Mohammad held Jesus as a much respected prophet of God. When Mohammad began preaching he was persecuted by Jews for his strong belief in Jesus and his teachings. Mohammad repeatedly was prosecuted for his faith in God and his backing of Jesus. I defy any Muslim to speak indifferently to these statements because in honesty they cannot.
Mohammads’ last public sermon decried that Muslims, and followers of all religions with the belief in the one true God, should live in brotherhood and tolerance. Soon after this sermon Mohammad passed on. So what has happened to this message? Have the politically driven Islamic leaders of today hijacked and bastardized a religion, and its religious decree, meant to preserve peace and harmony? How can Mohammad have preached so much about tolerance yet the Muslim leaders of today spout nothing but hate and hate filled rhetoric?
If you read about Mohammads teachings you would see that he was disgusted in issues that involved persecution, or discrimination based on religion. Conversely, you have Muslim leaders around the world crying out that Jews should be destroyed, or Christians should be obliterated. Have these individuals been blinded by the greed of this life and therefore neglecting their responsibility to their religion? Or are they just crooks using a religion for their own needs?
Don’t most Muslims remember that Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, are all considered faiths of the book? Don’t they see how similar our beliefs are? Have they forgotten how hallowed Mohammad held Jesus and his teachings? How can these Radical Islamic individuals spout so much hatred in the name of Islam when it is so contradictory to its belief base? I ask you now, who is the real enemy of Islam, is it the brothers and sisters of believers or is it the Imams, and Islamic Presidents, who use Islam as a sword when it cuts to their needs?
I don’t hate Muslims, or their beliefs, I despise the leaders who hi-jack this religion to further their own needs and desires. It’s time the Muslim populations take a look at the real teachings of Islam and then ask themselves, who is the real enemy of Mohammads’ teachings?
Muslim Cowards Kill Innocent Victim
I dont think its the case that the Muslims have forgotten the teachings, its more a case of the few who speak are of the fundamental kind. Hence you get the type of reactions you get. In the case of the Hostage that was murdered, this I’m afraid how you look at it, it is indeed a barbaric act. But it would depends on how you look at it, would it be barbaric if the hostage represented someone that tortured your countrymen, would it be barbaric if the hostage represented someone that blew your brother, sister, child, parent etc to “smitherins”. I think its a tricky one to call especially given what is happening in Iraq at the moment. Even the more moderate Muslims, and many people from the other faiths view it as an outrage. It is a war after all, started by whom, hence the responses will be equally brutal.
I have always wondered why people select titles such as ” Muslim cowards kill innocent Victim” did you see any headline saying ” Christian pillocks torture Iraqi Prisoners” no you did not,
Live long and prosper ..
That’s because the people that committed the acts you speak of weren’t Christian.But every suicide bomber is, guess what?
Muslim
So whats with the dumb comparison?
Also you don’t find Christian,Jew,Hindu blowing up and killing people for there invisible god.
You do find Muslims all over the world doing this, and preaching it.
Yes we find fundamentalism in all religons, but none of them ACT on there holy books in such way as , yup you guessed it
Muslims.
Your point about Iraq’s is moot, they are killing each other.
Shia’s cant stand Sunni, i suggest you checkout your facts of whose killing who.
Muslims are killing each other faster than the anyone else.
all FACTS
so what was your original point again?
Ohh yeah that were all the same basically.
You’re a moron, a badly educated one at best!
Keep your Star Trek, and start living in the real world you smacktard.
