I saw a couple of comments on a thread that sadly was closed because more discussion is needed on the topic of Muslims and spreading love. @mellowyellow said "people who follow Islam scare her to death". That's sad! I wonder why? @senior chef theorized about an insane percentage of Muslims who are terrorists based upon what.....???
First of all, let me say that Muslims who join these terrorist organizations are IMO on the same level as those who join the KKK and used racial hatred to kill innocent Blacks and Jews. Islam DOES NOT condone their actions. Suicide is a big sin in Islam, thus suicide bombers are creating the ultimate sins by 1. Killing themselves 2. Killing/harming innocents and 3. Lying on God (by claiming these acts in His name).
Real Muslims believe that no one race is better than another. We believe that all God's people (people of the books) have rights and should be treated equally and justly. I once heard a Christian woman on the news say something about "whatever God they believe in". I thought to myself, that fool doesn't even know we believe in the same God that the Bible says created heaven and Earth. She sounded mighty ignorant...I guess the name Allah threw her off. She was too dumb to know that Allah is simply the Arabic word for God, just as Dios is Spanish for God. I know Imams (Muslims ministers) who teach from the Bible as well as the Quran and some know the Bible better than Christians do. I was raised Christian before I accepted Islam at age 45, so I know this to be true. The Quran contains Surahs (chapters) that mention Jesus and Mary.
Islamophobia has spread so widely because people take the worst of what they see so called Muslims do and judge all Muslims by those things. I'm so glad I don't judge all White people by the acts of the KKK and other racists. BTW, earlier this year domestic terrorists (among them White Supremacists) were named by U.S. intelligence as one of the biggest threats we face in this country. I'm also glad I don't judge all Christians by the bad apples in the bunch. Many horrible things have been done in the name of Christianty!
