There are many people without knowledge HATE ISLAM
There are many people without knowledge fall trap to enemies of ISLAM
What is ISLAM?
IS ISLAM encouraging Terrorism?
IS ISLAM enemy of other RELIGION?
Does MUSLIMS hate HINDUS?
An intelligent person will try to KNOW the reality and will not accept whatever is said in the MEDIA... It is easy for ENEMIES to SPREAD LIES & FOOL, when the PUBLIC accept whatever said to them... & not VERIFYING.
We MUSLIMS believe that QURAN is word of OUR CREATOR ALLAH, and his MESSAGE to all of his CREATION including NON MUSLIMS ... IT is YOUR choice to READ it, PONDER it, if not satisfied MAKE a research of it... If YOU still dont believe what is said in QURAN ... it upto U .. there is NO FORCE on YOU by the RELIGION of TRUTH, the only religion accepted by the CREATOR of all that exists.
THINK & PONDER.... Dont stay IDLE ...
Well said Mr. Abu Thabish, KSA.
