Why We Critique Only Islam!
Question:
Their hope is izlam to be misunderstood. That is why Allah will punish them.
– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Hey, that sounds like "The Religion of Peace!" Amazingly, what you’ll read from JUNO and the rest of the militant Islamists and their sympathizers in this group is the lament of how "Islam is misunderstood." Throw in a concept of Fatwa (i.e. Islamic/Koranic endorsed contract killing) and you have the perfect recipe for Islamic violence. Maybe this will explain: [2.191] And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from whence they drove you out, and persecution is severer than slaughter, and do not fight with them at the Sacred Mosque until they fight with you in it, but if they do fight you, then slay them; such is the recompense of the unbelievers. [4.89] They desire that you should disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so that you might be (all) alike; therefore take not from among them friends until they fly (their homes) in Allah’s way; but if they turn back, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them, and take not from among them a friend or a helper. [4.91] You will find others who desire that they should be safe from you and secure from their own people; as often as they are sent back to the mischief they get thrown into it headlong; therefore if they do not withdraw from you, and (do not) offer you peace and restrain their hands, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them; and against these We have given you a clear authority. [5-51] O you who believe! Do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people. [3-151] We will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve, because they set up with Allah that for which He has sent down no authority, and their abode is the fire, and evil is the abode of the unjust. [8.12] When your Lord revealed to the angels: I am with you, therefore make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them. [Qu'ran 9.29] Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. [Quran: 9:29-32]: Fight against those among the People of the Book (Jews and Christians) who do not believe in God and the Last Day, who do not forbid what God and His messenger have forbidden, until they are subdued and pay jizyah (tax on non-Muslims) … A typical invitation to the people of the book (Christians and Jews) was: "Embrace Islam, or pay the poll-tax (Ziziya), or fight to death." [Surah 8:39; 9:5, 29: 47:4] " It is a ‘divine’ commandment to persecute Jews and Christians, to defeat them in battle and then to consign them either to slavery or to death." [9:73] O Prophet! strive hard against the unbelievers and the Hypocrites, and be firm against them. Their abode is Hell,- an evil refuge indeed. [8:12] I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them [9:14] Fight them, and Allah will punish them by your hands, cover them with shame, help you (to victory) over them, heal the breasts of Believers, [8:17] It is not ye who slew them; it was Allah: when thou threwest (a handful of dust), it was not thy act, but Allah’s: in order that He might test the Believers by a gracious trial from Himself [52.45] Leave them then till they meet that day of theirs wherein they shall be made to swoon (with terror): There is no compulsion in Islam as long as one is a Muslim. [2-256] There is no compulsion in religion; truly the right way has become clearly distinct from error; therefore, whoever disbelieves in the Shaitan and believes in Allah he indeed has laid hold on the firmest handle, which shall not break off, and Allah is Hearing, Knowing. Islam clearly cannot allow for any other faith. From the hadith: Sahih Muslim Book 019, Number 4366: It has been narrated by ‘Umar b. al-Khattib that he heard the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) say: I will expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula and will not leave any but Muslim. Sahih Muslim The Book of Faith (Kitab Al-Iman) Book 001, Number 0033: It has been narrated on the authority of Abdullah b. ‘Umar that the Messenger of Allah said: I have been commanded to fight against people till they testify that there is no god but Allah, that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, and they establish prayer, and pay Zakat and if they do it, their blood and property are guaranteed protection on my behalf except when justified by law, and their affairs rest with Allah. Well, if you liked the above, you will love the following: Wife beating is GOOD for her. Muhammed said so: 3) THE TRADITIONS (HADITH) ON ISLAMIC WIFE BEATING The Hadith contain more information relative to how wife beating existed in the early Islamic culture. There are a variety of writings, all illustrating various facets of the husband wife relationship and physical violence against the wife. I will mention several of them to bring out the wife’s lower position in the marriage, and the exact type of wife beating that occurred in Muhammad’s time, with his approval. In some cases due to the length I will only quote relevant portions of a Hadith. HISTORICAL CONTEXUAL BACKGROUND ON 4:34 Here is the reference for the background of 4:34. "A women complained to Muhammad that her husband slapped her on the face, (which was still marked by the slap). At first the prophet said to her: "Get even with him", but then added: "Wait until I think about it". Later on, Allah supposedly revealed 4:34 to Muhammad, after which the prophet said: "We wanted one thing but Allah wanted another, and what Allah wanted is best". [To beat your wife is best.] The above quote comes from Razi’s "At-Tafsir al-Kabir" on 4:34 (Quoted in Beyond the Veil [7]. Razi is one of the greatest Muslim scholars. Here is a Hadith from Bukhari [8], vol. 7, # 715, that supports the case: "Narrated Ikrima: ‘Rifaa divorced his wife whereupon Abdur-Rahman married her. Aisha said that the lady came wearing a green veil and complained to her (Aisha) and showed her a green spot on her skin caused by beating. It was the habit of ladies to support each other, so when Allah’s messenger came, Aisha said, "I have not seen any woman suffering as much as the believing women. Look! Her skin is greener than her clothes! When Abdur-Rahman heard that his wife had gone to the prophet, he came with his two sons from another wife. She said, "By Allah! I have done no wrong to him, but he is impotent and is as useless to me as this," holding and showing the fringe of her garment. Abdur-Rahman said, "By Allah, O Allah’s messenger! She has told a lie. I am very strong and can satisfy her, but she is disobedient and wants to go back to Rifaa." Allah’s messenger said to her, "If that is your intention, then know that it is unlawful for you to remarry Rifaa unless Abdur-Rahman has had sexual intercourse with you." The prophet saw two boys with Abdur-Rahman and asked (him), "Are these your sons?" On that Abdur-Rahman said, "Yes." The prophet said, "You claim what you claim (that he is impotent)? But by Allah, these boys resemble him as a crow resembles a crow."" Let’s note several items from this Hadith. 1) A woman was beaten by her husband because of marriage discord. The women did not commit any illegal sexual act. She was beaten and bruised because her husband said she was "disobedient" and he thought she wanted to go back to her former husband. 2) The Muslim women were suffering more than the non-Muslim women (via Aisha’s comment), note it is said in the plural. This tells you just how good Muslim women back then really had it. Things were so bad for them, that they had to "support" each other. 3) The woman was badly bruised. 4) Muhammad did not re-prove the man for beating his wife. In fact, he reproached the women for saying Rahman was impotent. Even though she was bruised, Muhammad accepted it. OTHER HADITH AND TRADITIONS ON WIFE BEATING Following are a number of various Hadith that relate instances or comments on wife beating. Again, I have edited several of these because of length. ABU JAHM, A WELL KNOW WIFE BEATER SAHIH MUSLIM [9]. Book 009, Number 3512: When my period of ‘Idda was over, I mentioned to him [Muhammad] that Mu’awiya b. Abu Sufyan and Jahm had sent proposal of marriage to me, whereupon Allah’s said: As for Abu Jahm, he does not put down his staff from his shoulder, and as for Mu’awiya, he is a poor man having no property; marry Usama b. Zaid. I objected

Maybe this will explain: Condemnation of women in izlam: The famous Muslim Author Researcher Ghazzali mentions about the punishments which has been ordered upon the women because of Eve’s expulsion from heavens: The Punishments: 01. The Monthly Menstruation 02. The pain of Childbirth 03.The pain of Pregnancy 04.The Separation from the parents and marriage to a stranger 05. the Not having control over her own person 06. The inheritance of a lesser share than men. 07. The fact that she must stay secluded in the house 08. The fact of Her liability to be divorced and inability to divorce. 09. The fact that It is being lawful for man to have 4 wives but for a woman to have only 1 husband. 10. The fact that she must not go out of the house unless accompanied by a near relative. 11. The fact that she must keep even her head covered inside the house. 12. The fact that 2 women’s testimonies in the court of law is same as the testimony of 1 man. 13. The fact that men take part in Friday Prayer and Feast for funerals while women do not. 14. the reality of their disqualification for rulership, governership and judgeship. 15. The fact that if their husbands die, they must observe a waiting period of 4 months and 10 days before they marry again. 16. The fact that if their husbands divorce them, they must observe a waiting period of 3 months or 3 menstrual periods before they marry again. 17. The fact that merit has 100 parts, only one is attributable to women while 999 are attributed to men. 18. The fact that if women are profligate they will be given half as much torment as the men on the resurrection day. Now, lets look at a few exact quotes from the experts of Quran’s verses about women: "And all married women are forbidden unto you except those captives whom your right hand possesses. It is a decree of Allah for you. Lawful unto you are all beyond those mentioned, so that you seek them with your wealth in honest wedlock, not debauchery." (Quran: Al Nisa: 4 – 24) "They ask Thee concerning Women’s courses. Say to them: ‘They are a Hurt and a Pollution: So keep away from women in their courses and do not approach them until they are clean.’ But when they are purified, Yee may approach them in any manner, time or place. Ordained for you by Allah, for Allah loves those who turn to him constantly and he loves those who keep themselves Pure and Clean." (Quran: Al Baqarah: 2 – 222) "O Prophet! Why holdest Thou to be forbidden That which Allah has made lawful to thee? Thou seekest to Please Thy consorts. But Allah is Of the Forgiving. (Quran: Al Tahrim: 66 – 1.2) Your wives are as a tilth unto you; so approach your tilth when or how ye will. (Quran: Al Baqarah: 2 – 223) Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because God has given the one more than the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in absence, what God would have them guard. As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them, refuse to share their beds, & beat them. (Quran: Al Nisa 4 – 34) O Prophet! surely We have made lawful to you your wives whom you have given their dowries, and those whom your right hand possesses out of those whom Allah has given to you as prisoners of war, and the daughters of your paternal uncles and the daughters of your paternal aunts, and the daughters of your maternal uncles and the daughters of your maternal aunts who fled with you; and a believing woman if she gave herself to the Prophet, if the Prophet desired to marry her. Specially for you, not for the believers; we know what we have ordained for them concerning their wives and those whom their right hands possess in order that no blame may attach to you; and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. (Quran: Al Ahzab: 33 – 50) As for those of your women who are guilty of lewdness, confine them to the houses until death take them. (Quran: Al Nisa: 4 – 15) As for those who accuse their wives but have no witnesses except themselves; let the testimony of one of them be four testimonies (Quran: Al Nur: 24 – 6) Shall we educate ourselves, so we can educate the whole world on the true nature of izlam. And this is the true stands of Islam on women, the only question remains to Muslim Women is: "Why are you still a muzlim?" May the light of knowledge comes out from beneath the clouds of ignorance and superstition.

Maybe this will explain: This is what the future looks like for "politically correct" Europe and Australia. Good luck. It couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch. I guess if they weren’t so busy hating Jews and condemning Israelis, they might figure out where their real problems are. Muslims rule major Swedish city – 09 September 2004 from http://www.jihadwatch.org/dhimmiwatch/ An exclusive series of translations from the Swedish press, made for Jihad Watch by Ali Dashti, who writes: Sweden is one of the worst hit countries in Europe of Muslim immigration and Political Correctness. Now, the police themselves have publicly admitted that they no longer control one of Sweden’s major cities. I have made some exclusive translations from Swedish media. They show the future of Eurabia unless Europeans wake up. I’ve seen the future of Eurabia, and it’s called ‘Sweden.’ Malm is Sweden’s third largest city, after Stockholm and Gothenburg. Once-peaceful Sweden, home of ABBA, IKEA and the Nobel Prize, is increasingly looking like the Middle East on a bad day. All following links to major Swedish newspapers, with a brief translation: http://www.aftonbladet.se/vss/nyheter/story/0,2789,529910,00.html Malm, Sweden. The police now publicly admit what many Scandinavians have known for a long time: They no longer control the situation in the nations’s third largest city. It is effectively ruled by violent gangs of Muslim immigrants. Some of the Muslims have lived in the area of Roseng Rd, Malm, for twenty years, and still don’t know how to read or write Swedish. Ambulance personnel are attacked by stones or weapons, and refuse to help anybody in the area without police escort. The immigrants also spit at them when they come to help. Recently, an Albanian youth was stabbed by an Arab, and was left bleeding to death on the ground while the ambulance waited for the police to arrive. The police themselves hesitate to enter parts of their own city unless they have several patrols, and need to have guards to watch their cars, otherwise they will be vandalized. "Something drastic has to be done, or much more blood will be spilled" says one of the locals. http://w1.sydsvenskan.se//Article.jsp?article=10092861 The number of people emigrating from the city of Malm is reaching record levels. Swedes, who a couple of decades ago decided to open the doors to Muslim "refugees" and asylum seekers, are now turned into refugees in their own country and forced to flee their homes. The people abandoning the city mention crime and fear of the safety of their children as the main reason for leaving. http://w1.sydsvenskan.se/Article.jsp?article=10090830 ALL of the 600 windows at one of the schools in Malm have been broken during the summer holiday. Window smashing alone costs the city millions every year. City buses have been forced to avoid the immigrant ghetto, as they are met with youths throwing rocks or bottles at them if they enter. Earlier this year, a boy of Afghan origin had made plans to blow up his own school. http://w1.sydsvenskan.se//Article.jsp?article=10093267 People working at the emergency ward at the major hospital in Malm receive threats every day, and are starting to get used to it. Patients with knives or guns are commonplace. They have discussed could be seen as a provocation. http://w1.sydsvenskan.se//Article.jsp?article=10093495 Lisa Nilsson has lived in Manhatten, New York City, for 25 years. After moving back to Malm, Sweden, she now misses the safety of New York. She never walks anywhere in Malm after dark, but takes a taxi everywhere she goes. http://www.expressen.se/index.jsp?a=180423 Rapes in Sweden as a whole have increased by 17% just since the beginning of 2003, and have had a dramatic increase during the past decade. Gang rapes, usually involving Muslim immigrant males and native Swedish girls, have become commonplace. Two weeks ago, 5 Kurds http://www.aftonbladet.se/vss/nyheter/story/0,2789,528363,00.html 22-year-old Swedish woman going out for fresh air gang raped by three strange men. The only said one word to her: "Whore!" Ali Dashti comments: "Stories like this are in Swedish newspapers every week. Swedish media usually take great care not to mention the ethnic background of the perpetrators, but you can usually read it between the lines." One more: how have Swedish politicians reacted to the chaos caused in one of their major cities because of Muslims of whom even the police seem to be afraid? By making it easier for Muslims to enter Sweden: http://www.cphpost.dk/get/81008.html Sweden’s politicians view arranged marriages as a positive tradition: a cultural pattern that immigrants should be allowed to preserve even in Sweden. The Swedish government feels that interfering in arranged marriages is an encroachment upon private life. In addition, immigrant couples can apply for family reunification in Sweden even if they’ve never seen each other before – as long as the marriage is entered in a culture with a tradition of parents arranging marriages on behalf of their children. A 2002 study by V xj University economics professor Jan Ekberg found that immigration cost Swedish taxpayers DKK 33 billion that year, compared to just DKK 10 billion in Denmark. And while one might assume that the rise in costs would result in knee-jerk opposition to immigration, just the opposite has happened in Sweden. A Swedish government commission has proposed abolishing the so-called "seriousness requirement". = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Stupidity is the only universal capital crime: There is no appeal, and execution is carried out by the stupid person himself.

From the hadith: Sahih Muslim Book 019, Number 4366: It has been narrated by ‘Umar b. al-Khattib that he heard the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) say: I will expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula and will not leave any but Muslim. Sahih Muslim The Book of Faith (Kitab Al-Iman) Book 001, Number 0033: It has been narrated on the authority of Abdullah b. ‘Umar that the Messenger of Allah said: I have been commanded to fight against people till they testify that there is no god but Allah, that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, and they establish prayer, and pay Zakat and if they do it, their blood and property are guaranteed protection on my behalf except when justified by law, and their affairs rest with Allah. Well, if you liked the above, you will love the following: Wife beating is GOOD for her. Muhammed said so: 3) THE TRADITIONS (HADITH) ON ISLAMIC WIFE BEATING The Hadith contain more information relative to how wife beating existed in the early Islamic culture. There are a variety of writings, all illustrating various facets of the husband wife relationship and physical violence against the wife. I will mention several of them to bring out the wife’s lower position in the marriage, and the exact type of wife beating that occurred in Muhammad’s time, with his approval. In some cases due to the length I will only quote relevant portions of a Hadith. HISTORICAL CONTEXUAL BACKGROUND ON 4:34 Here is the reference for the background of 4:34. "A women complained to Muhammad that her husband slapped her on the face, (which was still marked by the slap). At first the prophet said to her: "Get even with him", but then added: "Wait until I think about it". Later on, Allah supposedly revealed 4:34 to Muhammad, after which the prophet said: "We wanted one thing but Allah wanted another, and what Allah wanted is best". [To beat your wife is best.] The above quote comes from Razi’s "At-Tafsir al-Kabir" on 4:34 (Quoted in Beyond the Veil [7]. Razi is one of the greatest Muslim scholars. Here is a Hadith from Bukhari [8], vol. 7, # 715, that supports the case: "Narrated Ikrima: ‘Rifaa divorced his wife whereupon Abdur-Rahman married her. Aisha said that the lady came wearing a green veil and complained to her (Aisha) and showed her a green spot on her skin caused by beating. It was the habit of ladies to support each other, so when Allah’s messenger came, Aisha said, "I have not seen any woman suffering as much as the believing women. Look! Her skin is greener than her clothes! When Abdur-Rahman heard that his wife had gone to the prophet, he came with his two sons from another wife. She said, "By Allah! I have done no wrong to him, but he is impotent and is as useless to me as this," holding and showing the fringe of her garment. Abdur-Rahman said, "By Allah, O Allah’s messenger! She has told a lie. I am very strong and can satisfy her, but she is disobedient and wants to go back to Rifaa." Allah’s messenger said to her, "If that is your intention, then know that it is unlawful for you to remarry Rifaa unless Abdur-Rahman has had sexual intercourse with you." The prophet saw two boys with Abdur-Rahman and asked (him), "Are these your sons?" On that Abdur-Rahman said, "Yes." The prophet said, "You claim what you claim (that he is impotent)? But by Allah, these boys resemble him as a crow resembles a crow."" Let’s note several items from this Hadith. 1) A woman was beaten by her husband because of marriage discord. The women did not commit any illegal sexual act. She was beaten and bruised because her husband said she was "disobedient" and he thought she wanted to go back to her former husband. 2) The Muslim women were suffering more than the non-Muslim women (via Aisha’s comment), note it is said in the plural. This tells you just how good Muslim women back then really had it. Things were so bad for them, that they had to "support" each other. 3) The woman was badly bruised. 4) Muhammad did not re-prove the man for beating his wife. In fact, he reproached the women for saying Rahman was impotent. Even though she was bruised, Muhammad accepted it. OTHER HADITH AND TRADITIONS ON WIFE BEATING Following are a number of various Hadith that relate instances or comments on wife beating. Again, I have edited several of these because of length. ABU JAHM, A WELL KNOW WIFE BEATER SAHIH MUSLIM [9]. Book 009, Number 3512: When my period of ‘Idda was over, I mentioned to him [Muhammad] that Mu’awiya b. Abu Sufyan and Jahm had sent proposal of marriage to me, whereupon Allah’s said: As for Abu Jahm, he does not put down his staff from his shoulder, and as for Mu’awiya, he is a poor man having no property; marry Usama b. Zaid. I objected to him, but he again said: Marry Usama; so I married him. Allah blessed there in and I was envied (by others). SAHIH MUSLIM Book 009, Number 3526: So I informed him [Muhammad]. (By that time) Mu’awiya, Abu Jahm and Usama b. Zaid had given her the proposal of marriage. Allah’s Messenger said: So far as Mu’awiya is concerned, he is a poor man without any property. So far as Abu Jahm is concerned, he is a great beater of women, but Usama b. Zaid… She pointed with her hand (that she did not approve of the idea of marrying) Usama. But Allah’s Messenger said: Obedience to Allah and obedience to His Messenger is better for thee. She said: So I married him, and I became an object of envy. SAHIH MUSLIM Book 009, Number 3527: She said: Mu’awiya and Abu’l-Jahm were among those who had given me the proposal of marriage. Thereupon Allah’s Apostle said: Mu’awiya is destitute and in poor condition and Abu’l-Jahm is very harsh with women (or he beats women, or like that), you should take Usama b. Zaid (as your husband). COMMENT These three Hadith illustrate that some Muslim husbands could legally beat their wives without any retaliatory consequences. Abu Jahm was known to beat his wives and although Muhammad may not have cared for it, it certainly was allowed within the Islamic community. HADITH OF THE SUNAN OF ABU … read more »

In the name of allah,most Gracious,most Merciful, All muslem they must start with above , understand please the meaning of that.most of non understanding Islam ,whom they are just watching CNN ,FOX NEWS or hearing non just people.Its clearly Islam does not sanction violance,be it on Muslims or non Muslims.But they also stressed that,when attacked or their land invaded,Muslims have the right to resist the aggression.So if there is genuin will to address the middle east crisis,a strong warning should be directed to the source of aggression, not to the helpless victims,who are just defending themselves.The question why the Palestinians fight back should be addressed in the light of the non-stop Israeli aggression against the innocent people ,demolishing their homes,destroying their properties ,humiliating their leadership,killing thier children,killing their old men and women….some government like US government still reiterate that it is the Palestinians who must stop violance first.This is unreasonable indeed! Israel refuses to stop its act of aggression and occupation .Still American want the Palestinians to stand with thier hands tied while thier honor being violated,thier houses being destroyed and thier wives and children being slaughtered in cold blood.

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Why We Critique Only Islam! By Syed Kamran Mirza Frequently we are facing one common accusation from the Islamists, semi-Islamists and even from the moderate (who are ignorant about Quran and hadiths) Muslims-which is "why only critiquing Islam" and why not critiquing also other religions? This is of course a very prudent question. And this question needs to be answered by the group of critics. Critics may think that enough have been discussed about the fallacies of Islam everywhere in the whole world. By now every simple mind should understand very well as to why we only critique Islam! But I am not surprised by the question, because we must know that-childhood brainwashing of those moderate Muslims and utter hypocrisies of those erudite Islamists they mostly fail to realize the truth simply due to their sheer blind-faith in Islam. In this essay, I would like to make a hypothetical comparison between the Islam and all other major religions of the world. I shall try to establish the very unique and special character of the religion Islam by an honest and impartial judgment. I shall attempt to answer this very prudent question by my own style. That is, I will generate the right answers from the mouth of those questioners themselves. Instead of answering this question, let me ask those Islamists, moderate Muslims and others the following questions: America has a super plural society having many religions (Christian, Hindu, Muslim, Jews, Buddha’s etc). Every day, every hour or every minute-we are sick and tired of hearing in the radio, TV, or newspapers some very common (colorful) adjectives, such as: Muslim militants, Muslim terrorists, Islamic terrorists, Islamic radicals, and Islamic militants, Islamic fanatics, Al-Qeada, and Taliban. My questions here are: why do not we hear about terrorists or radicals of any other religions? Why do not we hear these kinds of ear-soothing colorful adjectives about those millions of atheists, agnostics or even Homosexual guys? Why it is always attached with the peaceful (?) ISLAM? In the North America and throughout the western world-there are hundreds of societies bearing the name of only one religion and that is ISLAM. Examples: AMC, AMA, NABIC, ICNA, ISNA, CAIR etc. etc. There are hundreds of Ummatic organizations/societies throughout the North America and elsewhere in the whole world. Ummatic organizations mostly preach segregation/isolation of Muslims from other peoples in general in the host countries. They teach Muslims that they are superior and their religion is superior and ask to guard their children from mixing with the western "rotten" society. As a result, future generations of Muslims can not blend with the society of host country resulting isolationists and problematic youngsters in an alien society. Ultimate result is the scenario of item# 13 below. In this, I have many questions: How many Ummatic organizations for Hindu, Christian or Jews can we find? Why no such organization is needed by any other religions? Why only the people of Muslim origin need such Ummatic organization? What is the purpose of such organization? Can we find Jihadi organization in any other religions such: Islamic Jihad, Hamas, Hizbullah, Horkut-ul- Jihad, Horkut-ul-mujahedin, Jaise Muhamad, Jihad-e-Muhammad, Tahrik-e-Nifaj-shariaat-e-Muhammad, Al-Hikhma, Al-badr-Mujaheddin, Jamah-e-Islamia, Hijb-e-Islamia, etc. etc.? We can find several dozens of Jihadi Islamic terrorist organizations exists in every Muslim country throughout the world. Can we find such organization in other religions? If not, then why? We can find dozens of countries ruled by Islamic Shariaat (Huhud laws) where Quran is the only viable constitution. All Muslim majority countries also have family laws enforced as per Quranic laws. We can still find many Islamic Republics exist in this modern world of 21st century. My questions here are: Can we find any country ruled by Bible, Old Testament or Ghita today? Can we find just one Republic for Christian, Jewish, Hindus or Buddhas? If the answer is no, then please tell us why no? Islam has become a fearful religion in the whole world today. Islamic terrorists are conspiring to kill innocent civilians, especially western civilians everywhere in the whole world. Whole civilized world is in a panic situation for fear of Islamic terrorism. Horrific incident of killing hundreds of innocent school children in Beslan, Russia, terrorism in Philippine, terrorism in Madrid metro train, terrorisms in the hotels, foreign embassies or tourist resorts in Indonesia, Bomb blasting in the Churches, Mosques of Shiite and Qadiani sects of Muslims-all have the cardinal hall marks of peaceful Islam.
