What about the more than 40 Muslim scholars, in countries including (but not limited to) tunisia,egypt,palestine,qatar, and malaysia, who signed upon this:
?The undersigned, leaders of Islamic movements, are horrified by the events of Tuesday 11 September 2001 in the United States which resulted in massive killing, destruction and attack on innocent lives. We express our deepest sympathies and sorrow. We condemn, in the strongest terms, the incidents, which are against all human and Islamic norms. This is grounded in the Noble Laws of Islam which forbid all forms of attacks on innocents. God Almighty says in the Holy Qur'an: 'No bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another' (Surah al-Isra 17:15).?
All of the countries i mentioned are predominantly Muslim.
do you need more? or are you still blinded by hate?
I don't care about anyone supporting terrorism. They aren't Muslim nor are they Christian in my eyes, and that's that. If you want to argue about why fanatics who pretend to be Muslim do the things they do, leave me out of it, because that doesn't concern me. My duty as a Muslim is to speak the truth. If you want every Muslim in the world to come shake your hand and tell you personally that they detest and condemn terrorism, then i have to apologize because you won't get that.




John 10:10 wrote:Yes, there have been a few who have blown up abortion clinics and even killed abortion doctors in the name of Christ, but they are the few exceptions. None that I know of felt called to go down with the ship, believing they are honoring Christ by doing so, thereby gaining rewards in heaven.
You are totally correct. If you want to study Christianity, study the life of Christ.
By the same token, if you want to study Islam, study the life of Muhammad.
Blessings
