you have managed to amass mountains of pure garbage! if you spent 1/10 of the time reading the Quran as you did putting together that last post, you'd understand things a lot better. what you see in saudi arabia (e.g. women not allowed to drive), unfortunately, is not a good example of islam... especially since they are hosts to the holiest city of Mecca. not only is there not one single country today that is a good model for the way a true muslim country is supposed to be run, but saudi arabia (the country's government has a whole) is one of the worst transgressors. and despite all of the bs and negative hype against islam (which is actually free advertisement), it remains to be the fastest growing religion in the US (especially among women) and in the world because islam is the thinking person's religion. it makes complete sense to those who are logical and open-hearted. it satisfies the analytical side (the brain) and the spiritual side (the heart). those that don't know this beautiful feeling should study islam first before believing the hype and lashing out...
one more thing as a general comment... don't you believe you'd get a better understanding of islam if you contacted and learned from a good muslim to hear things from the "horse's mouth" instead of going to these "let's bash islam" sites? the reason so many people have converted to islam is that they see for themselves the examples that are being set from good muslim friends, co-workers, neighbors, etc that speak volumes against the pure trash talk on tv. trust me, the warmongers are hard at work spreading the "word" all throughout the media (including threads such as these) that islam is bad. it's the classic historical case of creating the enemy, creating the feeling of hatred and animosity against these "targets" (a la "axis of evil", islam=terrorsim, etc) to make it easier to get support and to go to war with them. the end result is the war machine continues because the quest for money and power continues, and these are basic human weaknesses that the devil enjoys exploiting no matter who are and what religion you are a part of... satan is an equal opportunity manipulator... |
