Know him before you insult him... (Jesus, followers, minority, Revelation)

[DoctorDeen]

The ongoing Danish cartoon controversy was ignited simply because those people do not know who the Prophet really was and think that Islam is a violent religion that incites its followers to kill anyone who is simply non-Muslim which is completely not true.It was therefore obligatory on me and every muslim in the world to spread the real image of Islam. Doing so, I put this website between your hands and you are free to decide what Islam really is. Please forward this message to all muslims and non-muslims you know .

No. It was ignited by those who counterpose barbarism to democracy. Islam is as Islam does, and it is appearing increasingly deranged and dangerous.

...and the more deranged and dangerous it becomes, the more sincere they seem about being peaceful, and blaming everyone but themselves for the violence.

I know plennty about who the "prophet" really was, a murderer, hypocrite, and the orginator of a religion that is the oposite of liberating etc for its people and those who come in contact with it.
One only needs to read the history and actions of this man to decide who or what he really was, it is the islamic extreamists around now who best represent him.

This is utter nonsense. Muhammad was a judge and a leader who organized a great number of tribes that had never been organized and unified before. He established a framework for an empire. Muhammad was an interesting figure - born into an insignificant family within a very significant tribe. After he had his so-called revelation, which a Christian woman confirmed as true, he ended up leaving his home town for Medina. (Like Jesus, Muhammad found out that the people that have always known you really don't buy the whole "touched by god" thing). I don't think Muhammad was a profit. I think he was a pioneer in the Arab Justice System, and as a great political leader.

Which is more representative of christianity, Mother Theresa or the Spanish Inquisition?

Every religion has been represented at one time or another by people who were violent and evil. The vast majority of muslims are devout and peaceful people ... just like Mohammad instructed them to be.

The muslims that get all the media attention are the minority who advocate and practice violence. The more attention they get, the more the rest of the muslims try to speak out that violence isn't the true face of Islam.

Muslims aren't saying one thing while doing the opposite. One group is saying one thing, while an opposing group is doing the opposite.

This is somewhere between naive and dishonest.

The "majority" aren't using their combined voice very effectively, in fact they seem to be doing little more than sitting on their..... hands.

Isn't that always the problem ? talk politics, Religion, whatever you like......the only voices you'll hear are from extremists (and that means at both ends of the scale).
