Subject: Voices for peace?


I have just managed to read some articles here. I am surprised to learn that most writers here have nothing peaceful to say except to critise and talk sarcastically about Islam and Muslims. Christianity has caused more problems in the world. When we look at history. Mr Hitler, killed the jews. The bomb dropped at Vietnam at world war. Slave traders took slaves from western Africa to America. Colonialism in Asia..and the horrible Iraq war. I think christianity should wake up and accept that there is a more peaceful religion.Islam has laid down some universal fundamental rights for humanity as a whole, which are to be observed and respected under all circumstances. To achieve these rights Islam provides not only legal safeguards but also a very effective moral system. Thus whatever leads to the welfare of the individual or the society is morally good in Islam and whatever is injurious is morally bad. Islam attaches so much importance to the love of God and love of man that it warns against too much of formalism. We read in the Quran: "It is not righteousness that you turn your faces towards East or West; but it is righteousness to believe in God and the Last Day and the Angels, and the Book, and the Messengers; to spend of your substance, out of love for Him, for your kin, for orphans for the needy, for the wayfarer, for those who ask; and for the freeing of captives; to be steadfast in prayers, and practice regular charity; to fulfill the contracts which you made; and to be firm and patient in pain (or suffering) and adversity and throughout all periods of panic. Such are the people of truth, the God-conscious." (2:177)
