Mikesingh,
I'm sure you mean well but Adolph Hitler looks good if you only choose to look at the good bits.
The Islamic society in my city have put a very interesting book in the local library, it is the earliest and most respected biography about the
prophet Mohammed. If you get the chance have a read of this book.
The Life of Muhammad: A Translation of Ibn Ishaq by A. Guillaume (Published
in Pakistan)
In that book you can read the good bits and the bad bits about Mohammed.
You must also keep in mind that those quotes from the Quran above were written by Mohammed. Do you think Ghandi would have written such things?
Also look at the Hadith. The hadith are Islamic traditions about the life of Mohammed and his companions. They say it is impossible to rightly
interpret the Quran without the Hadith. The Muslim Students Association of the University of California have put the hadith on-line. Take a look at
Sahih Bukhari book 52 Also take a look at Sahih Bukhari, Vol 1
Book 8 Number 387 (Sahih is an Islamic word which means genuine or authentic)
Only after you have read such things can one understand the ramblings of men such as
this.
In short they are modelling themselves after the one whom they regard as a perfect man, the prophet Mohammed, as recorded in their most respected and
sacred writings.
As to the charge that we are creating terrorists, I do understand that any injustice certainly does not help things. But no matter what we do these
men will fight until the whole world submits to Islam. Equality is not a part of their vocabulary.
