Islam By: Niranjan | Thursday , 8 Jan '09 8:13:03 AM Reply | Forward Just like Pak, all muslims are in denial that Islam is not linked to terrorism. All major terrorism acts have been perpetrated in the name of Islam and propagandized them to be the work of mossad and/or USA. But the truth will be exposed soon when the terrorism is wiped out by all the major powers combining and rooting out rogue states like Pak, Iran, Syria etc.

Delinking religion from terrorism.By: Dr.G.G.Rajan | Thursday , 8 Jan '09 6:05:08 AM Reply | Forward Can the terrorists explicitly state what they want ? What is their policy ? To derail all developmental plans and kill thousands of innocent lives ? Assuming they have succeeded in their Jihad drive, which can never happen considering the hetrogeneity of religions and faiths, who will be their supremo ? Do they have any creative ideas ?

Religion By: SUMIT | Thursday , 8 Jan '09 1:55:44 AM Reply | Forward This is with reference with comments made by Omer Abdullah that his religion Islam does not preach violance. he is a politician and as usual tell only lies. Did he read Quran? Did he read the edict or order given in quran about what is the duty of all the followers of allah? What should be done to Kafirs - poeple not believing in Allah? You will shiver if you read it. Read chapter 9. I have read whole of Quran and I was aghast.

Where did you read itBy: Indian Muslim | Wednesday , 7 Jan '09 17:51:06 PM Reply | Forward I wanna ask you Mr OR Mrs. Suman about whatever you said about Quran. Where did you read it. Whatever you read, did you read it in context OR outof context. Lets suppose I'll make a statement like this, "Suman, if someone comes and beats you and your family without any fault of your's, give them 3 chances to set themselves right, even after they repeat, then go

Misconception of Word JIHADBy: Hamid | Wednesday , 7 Jan '09 16:56:24 PM Reply | Forward Dear Mr. Suman,I agree that there is a word "Jihad" mentioned in Quran but what the people know is misconceptions.If you can go through the history of Islam you can find the first arrow was from the opposition.Our prophet told everytime wait there might be compromise till the last moment, once they start attacking then only the jihad started.Jihad-war against evil.Today what is happening is totally framed, sooner or later we will come to know how

Delinking religion from politicsBy: Som Karamchetty, PHD | Wednesday , 7 Jan '09 7:24:35 AM Reply | Forward Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah is right in asking that religion be delinked from religion. For instance Muslim countries are also subjected to terrorism. But, such terrorist attacks are perpetrated by Muslims of other denominations. Leaders of the religion lead some of the attacks and pronounce religious sanction in political matters. Political leaders like Omar have the onerous responsibility to move their followers away from such religious leaders and to ask the followers to expose terrorists and mischief makers at every opportunity.

JihadBy: Iyer | Wednesday , 7 Jan '09 2:32:30 AM Reply | Forward Bluff. Islam and Koran preach terrorism. People belonging to other religions are called "Kafirs" (Infidels) by Islamic religionists.

Islam and TerrorismBy: Dr.Chandra k.Shekar | Wednesday , 7 Jan '09 2:14:38 AM Reply | Forward It is great for him and other muslims to say terrorism has no religion and to delink terrorism from religion. The problem is that most of the massacres are carried out by people whose names start with or end in mohommed or masood or ismail or omar or osama and they make no secret of wanting to kill innocent people in the name of islam with the aim of going to(?Islamic) heaven.Also in J
