			<description><![CDATA[First of all I'd like to congratulate brother Alan for denying all the false gods being worshiped in this materialistic world. You'll be amazed to know that the first part of the Islamic conviction 'la ilaaha illa allah' is indeed denying the worship of the false gods, the only part missing is realizing that there has to be some True God who is running a great deal of affairs in universe and beyond, so systematically that there's no chance of it being a coincidence. Take this as an example,if you drop a water glass from a height, what is the probability that any of its broken pieces would form a perfect little tiny water glass structure, the answer is 'zero', how can you then say that the big bang is responsible for all this perfect universe with great deal of intricate systems mathematically perfect for their function. Look around you brother Alan and observe, if you still can't feel anything then the law remains in Islam as stated earlier by a brother that 'there's no compulsion in religion', but I'd really want you to read Qur'an once again carefully with a desire in your heart that you be guided if it's THE TRUTH. May Allah guide and make us among the best of His servants. Ameen__Wassalam o alaikum wa rehmatullah wa barakatuh_may Allah's peace, mercy and blessings be upon all of you.__P.S.

			<description><![CDATA[Subhannallah! This reminds me of what happened two years ago... I took a sociology class in my University in Alberta, Canada, and I heard my teacher say that Islam is rising very fast, and will soon be number one religion in the world... A girl stood up in my class, and said that "we should kick them out, or force them to confirm to our country laws" Funny, really, concidering that Canada is mostly full of immigrants, and there is no "true" Canadians, except the First Nations group (natives), which is about 8% in a population of about 33 million! I find this reaction sad, because Islam is not a parasite, and it encourages the brotherhood and sisterhood between people...You find yourself finding a "brother" or "sister" from Somailia, Pakistan, India, Africa, Asia... and then racism makes no sense because you can say, I have a sister/brother who is from there... so what?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I suppose, Alan, that what you need most is to understand that what happened to you has nothing to do with religion, but with sick people. Then, dare take a look at the idea of Gods existence again: how else can you explain that all those "laws of nature" work so wonderfully together? The anger against unbelievers that you refer to is because they enjoy the gift of life, sun, rain, food, beauty, love ... and still they don't feel gratefull to "something out there", let alone God, that gave them all this. If you give a wonderful gift to someone, won't you want them to appreciate it as well? That is the anger. But the "agression" against unbelievers mentioned in the Quran is the agression that any sound thinking person agrees with: the unbelievers of that time harassed, attacked, tortured and murdered the Muslims. When the Quran tells the Muslms to kill the unbelievers, it says so about the ones trheatening them and their families. AND it says: as soon as they stop harming you, YOU stop the fight as well! No revenge allowed! For better understanding, you might want to read something like [censored]about jihad.com/jihad /kill_them_wher ever_you_find_t hem.php and [censored]about jihad.com/terro rism/quran_misq uote_part_1.php You will understand that Muslims can very well live with anybody, any religion and even unbelievers at the condition that they themselves are equally allowed to follow their own religion and are not under threat, and that they have the right to exercise their duty: offering their message to those non- or different believers, without force or obligation. So, there you are: Islam has always accepted to live with people of different beliefs and non-beliefs. But it always has propagated thhe duty to at least point out the message of Islam. For that reason I am very happy that you came on the site, showing your interest and listening to the message of Islam to start with. I ask Allah to heal your heart from the pain that was caused to you and to open it for His Message.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[response To Alan Edwards You can believe in what you want. There is no compulsion and coercion in regard to religion [2:256]. no one can force their beliefs on you. Just remember the prophet had non-muslim relatives and lived with them peacefully. Islam does not give the right to abuse others. “God does not forbid you from showing kindness and dealing justly with those who have not fought you about religion and have not driven you out of your homes. God loves just dealers.” (Quran 60:8) The early muslims went war with the non-muslim because they were being oppressed for 13 years and they went to war to fight oppression because oppression is worser than persecution. Your attitude of unbelief is caused by yourself, not the the Koran. Just remember that God gives guidance to those who want guidance & God DOES NOT give guidance to those who DO NOT WANT guidance.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Greetings from Australia! I sincerely wish to live in peace with people of all religions, as well as those who have none. I was subjected to abuse by professing Christians as an orphan child, so my willingness to accept the bona fides of any religion is very hard to win. In Australia, as in USA, the right to unbelief is the same as the right to believe in any god or gods. The Bible is scathing, disrespectful, and dismissive of unbelievers. I have read the Koran,(several different translations) and many other books about Islam, and I find even more vilification of unbelievers in the Koran, as well as exhortations to Muslims to conduct violence against them. To be honest, I have not conducted the same level of study of the Jewish faith, but I perceive it as a 'closed faith' and not as interested in persecuting me for my unbelief. In spite of many attempts to find any source of Muslim outreach that will discuss my misgivings about the intentions of Muslims in regard to those that their holy book speaks of as 'lower than the beasts', I have not yet found any Muslim who is willing to consider that I even have a right to my unbelief. By the way in Australia, about 3.1% are Muslims, unbelievers amount to about 18.7 % of the population. I am personally revolted by the violence done by any religion against others of different faiths and none. I do not support discriminaton against anyone based on their religion, or for having none.I also abhor Islamaphobia, because I can see that Muslims are as capable as any others of living 'good' religion or 'bad' religion, and that the good guys should not be accused for the actions of the bad guys. My bottom line question is, "Should I believe that the words of the Koran are the defining statement of Islam's attitude to my unbelief"?. If all Muslims must accept the words of the Koran as unchangeable and inerrant, then it is hard to see how we can ever live without tensions between us. As an unbeliever, I can see that there is much to be admired in Islam, as there is also in other religions. I bear no malice toward any religion, but find that when we apply the test of how they treat (or would like to treat)unbelieve rs, it is then that most of them are found wanting in the balance. Can anyone give me a clear and definitive statement as to whether Islam can accept and live with my human right to my unbelief? I await your response with interest. Alan Edwards]]></description>
