beautiful choice of words. hatred is nothing but sickness without any cure since its deeply rooted in the heart even the sick has no knowledge of it...stay sick stay without peace as evil desire for these. love everyone unconditionally and stay with peace.

[@adulthumanfemale8666]

That's ironic since the Quran spews vile hatred against unbelievers, apostates, gays, Christians, Jews etc.

[@realracergamer8269]

Norvegan You cant proof that islam spread hatred against non believers definately it stops to live life of non believers who either follow satan or follow his own desire. By practicing islam i have never ever to justify killing even aunt remember prophet Muhammad peace be upon said if anyone killed innocent human being regardless believers or non believers he killed whole humanit and will go to hell. I only expect you to believe whoever you chosen but dont spread misleading and false information about religion lets keep your biases seprate and learn the basics of islamic who taught me to be show great respect of any religion creed cast nationality. be peace with you.

[@adulthumanfemale8666]

Ali Amir I didn't say *you've* killed anyone. I said that what the Quran propagates hatred against all these people. And more importantly, they are not considered *innocent* by Islam and Muhammad. They are considered enemies of Islam. Let me give you an example: Quran 2.191: وَٱقْتُلُوهُمْ حَيْثُ ثَقِفْتُمُوهُمْ وَأَخْرِجُوهُم مِّنْ حَيْثُ أَخْرَجُوكُمْ ۚ وَٱلْفِتْنَةُ أَشَدُّ مِنَ ٱلْقَتْلِ ۚ وَلَا تُقَٰتِلُوهُمْ عِندَ ٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْحَرَامِ حَتَّىٰ يُقَٰتِلُوكُمْ فِيهِ ۖ فَإِن قَٰتَلُوكُمْ فَٱقْتُلُوهُمْ ۗ كَذَٰلِكَ جَزَآءُ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ The historical context of this passage is not defensive warfare, since Muhammad and his Muslims had just relocated to Medina and were not under attack by their Meccan adversaries. In fact, the verses urge offensive warfare, in that Muslims are to drive Meccans out of their own city (which they later did).

[@realracergamer8269]

Quote from Wikipedia and mercy to world spoke true meaning of your quote ayat from quran "The people assembled at the Kaaba, and Muhammad delivered the following address: "There is no God but Allah. He has no associate. He has made good His promise that He held to his bondman and helped him and defeated all the confederates. Bear in mind that every claim of privilege, whether that of blood or property is abolished except that of the custody of the Ka'aba and of supplying water to the pilgrims. Bear in mind that for any one who is slain the blood money is a hundred camels. People of Quraysh, surely God has abolished from you all pride of the time of ignorance and all pride in your ancestry, because all men are descended from Adam, and Adam was made of clay." Then Muhammad turning to the people said: "O Quraysh, what do you think of the treatment that I should accord you?" And they said, "Mercy, O Prophet of Allah. We expect nothing but good from you." Thereupon Muhammad declared: "I speak to you in the same words as Yūsuf spoke to his brothers. This day there is no reproof against you; Go your way, for you are free."[10] Muhammad's prestige grew after the surrender of the Meccans. Emissaries from all overArabia came to Medina to accept him.[11]

@@sbs2047 don't listen to her and orthodox so called Sunni school ........ research Islam historically and with hadith ,read Quran , and think ....you will understand Islam doesn't mean hijaab, war, peace but mean reform that prophet hint human to develop with time.....only thing u need to understand at what situation and context verse of Quran revealed

[@captainkaizo3824]

@@justfun9971 and how you can sure that? Hint to develop with time? Think Allah just made mistake by saying Prophet Muhammad is the last prophet and quran is last revelation. There must be new prophet to guide us. Should i search for the new religion which they say theres another prophet came after him? Its simple. You just want to follow what you want. Like you don want wear hijab, you trying to say hijab only meant for people who live 1400 years ago. Now we no need to follow that. Like "jesus already bring new testament, so we no need to follow old testament." "Jesus already die for our sin. So we no need to follow even yhe new testament" Thats why christianity is the easiest religion in thr world. And you also try to do that in Islam. Because you just don't like the law that Allah and prophet gave. And what verses in quran or hadith mae you think like that?

[@tangoz811]

in the spirit of stopping with cliche let me just say that although muslims in the west have a difficult time coping with increased survellience on their everyday lives, here we dont feel any different except that we do pay a heavy price if we speak freely

This is about the oil in the Middle East. Other wise this war would have happened anytime in the last 1400 years. Remember the native Americans, aborigines, Africans were dehumanised to justify mass murder and the acceptance of the general population of that. The greed of people has no bounds.

[@randomusernamemygod]

You don't read a history book on ME over the last 1400 years. Oil possible. Sanctions were due to be lifted on Saddam's Iraq. It would have disrupted the Gulf States oil hegemony. They are in an alliance with the USA.

The kid with the ''home made'' clock , didn't make a clock, he just stripped a normal alarm clock down to make it look like a bomb timer , he had it in a suitcase which he wrapped in wire to ''secure'' it . He was asked to put it away twice , but went to another class and set it for a countdown . If his name was Diego Vasqez , Johnny Smith or Levi Epstein we would have gotten the same end result , an arrest . If you look at the facts of the story you will see what he had set out to do , that kid was a pawn who was used by his father to stir shit .
