Dear Raj, #7
Either U did get the information from Cheddis or U are ignorant of what Islam teaches... Just dont depend on Media ISLAM where most of the information are provided by the enemies of ISLAM ... U are already fooled into thinking that ISLAM is evil... Infact ISLAM is the only religion accepted by GOD...
If U Honest and need what ISLAM teaches then READ QURAN...its the source ...
QURAN mentions mankind to PONDER on it and whatever problem we face in this era, Quran gives the solution...
QURAN says to read and reflect on what it says... dont just read it , REFLECT on what is says...
Just dont be in DARKNESS by acquiring the information U Got from hate mongers... Use your god given intellect and GOD guides those who look for him honestly... Dont waste YOUR precious LIFE by supporting the Evil cheddis ignorantly... U need to learn the enemies before U make the enemy... Dont fall trap to the cheddis without knowledge of your enemy... Read QURAN and find out why cheddis are trapping people like U.
