Islam , in spite of the shaky and precarious picture that the blind –hearted media propagates all over the world , is most acceptable religion all over the world now .In the time of the prophet , people were persecuted , tortured and even killed to leave it but never did they leave ….Now people from all different cultures , different mentalities have been guided by God to Islam , they have found their way , at last they have rested their doubts , they have found the doctrine that sit well with their logic . Islam is the only religion that answers the innate nature in the Human being . Islam is the only religion that contains over one thousand scientific Hadiths and verses that are in complete agreement with the recently discovered scientific facts . The Holy Quran is the only Book that remained unchanged , every letter , every word , every sentence are the same as were first revealed to the prophet . There are hundreds of glad tidings and prophecies in the Holy Book that speak about the coming of Islam , Islam is the only religion that first puts Human rights and supervised putting them into effect long ago before the magna carta , Islam is the only religion that gave woman her rights . Islam is the only religion that was fought and still is ,yet it remained unshaken , and remained and will remain deap seated in the hearts of its adherents .Islam is the only religion that will redress and rectify humanity way to God .

Prophet Mohummed says "This religion will go as far as the night and the day go , No place , be it in the desert or the city , but will be converted into Islam , so wonderfully is that Islam will be aided by different people , be it noble or humble …………..

God says "When Allah's succor and the triumph cometh in the Holy Quran what means And thou seest mankind entering the religion of Allah in troops. Then hymn the praises of thy Lord, and seek forgiveness of Him. Lo! He is ever ready to show mercy." Surah 110. An-Nasr.

Levicantu, if you read my previous writing deeply, you will find that I responded your citations. You are absolutely wrong with your opinion about Islam and Quran. You said:

 

“more Muslims leave Islam than convert to it, and that Islam's growth comes from high birthrates in poor Islamic countries, and that large amounts of Westerners that convert to Islam leave Islam after a few years? 

 

That’s absolutely wrong. Particularly in my country. Lots of ppl convert to Islam, and some ppl (or the one who convert to Islam) leave Islam. Do you know why they leave Islam…??? B’coz they convert to Islam is not from their heart…they learn Islam but just a few…like a book…they just see a cover and read the introduction…..and when they know that lots of obligation and worship they have to conduct…then they leave Islam. They really don’t know why they have to do it and for what…. Example; fasting….they think they are fasting just for nothing…..but actually if they really really know it……fasting is actually for good deeds…and also for health….do you know…for breakfasting…..Islam suggest to eat the sweet-food…and do you know ….why…..if you know about health…you will find the answer by yourself.

 

You also posting a link talking about my country……the source is from US government….and you know that’s not a hundred percent correct….and we…especially me do not believe US gorvn at all. They just give the wrong data, its’ just for propaganda…..for example…..do you know…why US attack Irak……one of  reasons is…..US govrn said Irak kept weapon, some alike nuklier. And do you know what the fact….until now they never found that weapon…..but actually US gornm have dirty mission….that’s just they dirty tricky……  and now….US govnm pretend to be kind to my country…..and their news is just for disunite my love country….US govrn will comfortable if other country going to war each other…..b’coz that’s make US more powerfull….strengthen US as a Superpower country…….     

 

I’ve tried to be nice here….but if you’re offended with my writing…..i just can say …..uupps…sorry…..

Don't worry about me, just worry about yourslf. Don;t live in a stupid notion that only "muslims" deserve heaven(or deserve to live). If you say so then you are just speaking for your self, As far as I know Islam doesn;t preach in that way. You are twisting your own religion and showing your religion in bad light.

Why blame the media when people like you drum around playing your "Wahhabi" Ideology. Wahhabism is itself curse to islam and to humanity.

Can you tell me how many muslims follow Islam completly? People like that are in minority. Census is conducted once in every 10 years in India These are the figures:

Just like Indonesia, India is a secular country. Relgion is immeterial. Muslims enjoy better status in india than Lower caste hindus, even then, some muslims are preacing hate. Yes, there have been incidents which might have angered them, but instead of having faith in the system them go for terrorism.

On 27th september, a 9 year old boy, and 2 others were killed, more than 20 were injured in New Delhi. Two People on bike threw a container(tiffin box) filled with explosive material, The 9 year old boy out of his honesty, lifted the box and ran behiend the bike shouting "Brother, brother your box has fallen" , Then the bomb exploded, killing him on the spot.

Fasting is certainly good for health, But the way most people fast is absolutly not good for health. People stuff their stomach early in the morning and evening, defeating the puspouse of fasting. I am not a muslim , but I do fast during ramazan(only in weekends) and 11th day of moon cycle (called ekadshi , follwed by some hindus). Trust me For a vegitarian it is more difficult to practice fasting.

There is balanced converion in India, about 10 million convert to various religions every year.

But more people convert to evangalist chritianity and bhuddism than islam. people converting to islam is more or less equal to people reconverted to hinduism.

Levicantu, I understand why you always argue about Islam, you are not a Moslem and I believe that nowdays non-moslem in the world is trying to spread bad information/opinion about Islam, and media is the best way to do it. Anyway I just would like to say here for what I see and I hear. I will not provide citation or etc b’coz it can be incorrect.  You now…. Cities in Indonesia have different amount of Moslem and non-Moslem, and now I live in a city which is the most people here usually is Christians, and they have ‘family name’. By this family name, we can detect or know whether they are Christians or not. And do you know ….what the situation now……..? we can’t detect what their religion from their family name anymore. Lots of them have converted to Islam. That’s the fact that I can tell to you, not from media but I see by myself. I don’t want to talk about something that I don’t know correctly.

 

My point here is to say Islam is great religion, if there are some people leave Islam, it doesn’t mean that Islam is not great, but those people.

 

Javamanju, All religions, not only Moslem will be angry if they’re insulted.  I have lots of Christian friends and they act in the same way with Moslem when people talking bad about their religion.  In my country, Christians also do bad things and terror other religion for their religion.  And I believe it may be also happened in other country.

And do you know…what happened to lots of Moslem in the world now….they’re insulted….their land was robbed… … they were kick out of their own land and they don’t have freedom if they stay in their land. I understand why they are angry. However some of them overacted and actually it’s not allowed by Islam. Again here, Islam is great.  If there are some bad people, it doesn’t mean that is Islam. Every religion has bad and good people.

 

If you still argue my comments here, maybe, I’ll not respond it b’coz I’ll be in holiday for a week for my aid fitr……and for all Moslem here…..peace and happiness on Aid fitr…..may Allah’s blessings be with you…………………..

Javamanju, All religions, not only Moslem will be angry if they’re insulted. 

Yes all people do get angry if a person insults their religion, But Is pointing facts insulting? Yoi cannot find a single post of  mine which condems or insults religion. I have always believed that all relgions are great and people of all religions are praying the same god. What is insulting if I say, That god is called in different names and Ishwaraha is one of them.

Yes, My stance on evolution is not appriciated, But how can it be just anti muslim?, Creationism is preached by hinduism, Bhuddism, christianity etc. And also You might not that I have never told any one not to believe in Creationism, Moon split etc. It is their wish to believe in such theories. I will fight with any one who "twists" facts for thier gains

 I have lots of Christian friends and they act in the same way with Moslem when people talking bad about their religion.  In my country, Christians also do bad things and terror other religion for their religion.  And I believe it may be also happened in other country.

Just because Christians do violence , Have the muslims got the right do the same? What will be the difference between the two? Here in India, A hindu holy man was alegedly killed by christians, hindu;s went on a rampage. who gave the hindu's the right to go on a rampage? I am against all wrong things,be it a hindu , muslim or christian violence.

People of all religions have a bad attitude that what they do right and other do is wrong. When a christian is murdered by a muslim, no muslim complains, and vice versa. We fail to see the fact that we ourselves are creating a army of monsters , how might turn on us in the future

And do you know…what happened to lots of Moslem in the world now….they’re insulted….their land was robbed… … they were kick out of their own land and they don’t have freedom if they stay in their land. I understand why they are angry. However some of them overacted and actually it’s not allowed by Islam. Again here, Islam is great.  If there are some bad people, it doesn’t mean that is Islam. Every religion has bad and good people.

Do you think only a muslim is insulted? All religion are insulted. Is it not insulting when a person says the word kafir (Infidel)?

World is filled with racism. Racism is not just white people degrading black people, But also people of perticular religion using words like kafirs. Have you looked at profiles of some the muslims here (especially memmo?). They say "I make friendship with only my muslims brothers and sisters and not F** people (to the brits and americans)"

Apart from palestine , I don;t see much land grabbing(Corrrect me if i am wrong).If you talk about Iraq then partly yes, But a big no to afganistan.

There are a lot of freedom strugle even now, like FARC, LTTE etc, But how many use religion as their wopen?

Can you tell me any logic on why there are bombings by terrorists in India? When a bomb blasts, It will not kill on the basis of religion,It kills human beings, The same is true with riots.

I will signoff by saying this sentence-

"Religion is not which is there in a book, Religion is one which is practiced"
