Islam: The Misunderstood Religion! - Abdur-Raheem Green

What do you think about genghis khan? The great socialist?

Genghis Khan was not a Muslim.

Well if he was a muslim will he be great socialist then? Surely he has bigger claim to equalization of wealth( and probably population) than temple raider. He made mongols rich by opening up trade routes too.

That gold did not belong to you and neither did the mandir

England didn't belong to the Normans either. Please get a better understanding of how history works.

And when you say "you" are you accusing me for something that happened in 1030AD? Or the Muslims? Take your fight to Mr. Mahmood from Ghazni and his colleagues, thanks.

I don't have an opinion. I was just opening new vistas of thought to our forum-mate Mr. nalandapride.

Not all rulers were cruel and looting thieves like Ghazni some like Shivaji were secualar and built both Mosque and Temples after victory

O MUSLIM, GO BACK TO THIS.

But please use your head when going back to it, it is an immensely powerful tool that can provide immense knowledge and enlightenment or tear the world apart if misused, because then it stops being the power that helps you and another power takes its place in deception.

During the end of WW2, when Japan was facing imminent defeat, when they had used up all their conventional weapons but the enemy was too powerful for them what did they do to defend themselves?
They resorted to Kamakazi, or suicide bombings.

The point being that suicide bombings are not a thing Muslims invented or even used the most. In many cases when people are desperate to defend themselves against a much larger enemy, they will resort to these kind of tactics.
not saying if its good or bad, just saying the reality.

Unfortunately for Muslims and Islam, the bigoted western powers have had an agenda against us.
They have leveraged their assets, mainly mass media, to catagoriz Islam and Muslims as these evil people go around committing suicide bombings and what not.

While the ultimate irony being that they are the ones who have ethnically cleansed 3 continents full of people and are to this day ethnically cleansing Palestine.

Generally against their enemy.. not other Japanese.

Santro read about the Assassins of Alamut. This whole suicide nonsense had started from there.

We dont need to read your book (or reference book for that book) to understand you, nor do we need to understand your religion.
I dont have deep theological knowledge about christianity/buddism/judaism, I dont even care what they preach.
And true islam/true muslim is a overused word, meaningless to me.

What I care about is how they deal with me, if christians I meet are racists, it wont help how wonderful bible is (or Jesus is)

And this, is the primary thing I state..
Your status as a Human being reflects on your being a Muslim.

If you want people to treat you better, maybe you should start by doing it first.

Ramming a military aircraft to an aircraft carrier is not same as ramming a civilian aircraft to a skyscraper.

This thread is not about me, it is about misunderstanding that non muslims( and even muslims) have about islam.
I was only making a general point, I did not say muslims are bad to me or good to me, or indifferent.

And people arguing about suicide bombing, I dont think that is the main reason for misunderstanding(as some put it). They are probably minor inconvenience compared to other things.
It has to do with the whole package, 9/11, democracy, minority rights in islamic countries and access to 24 hour news.
