I guess this would be my first post here. Just stumbled across this great forum and I am sort of disappointed to see so many people hating on my religion. and I live in asia.
Even though I know little about what goes on in the US, i think the ground zero mosque idea should have been given up when it turned out that so many people were against it. being a muslim of course i am all for building as many mosques as possible but in a case like ground zero i believe they shouldve scrapped the idea. and its not like those guys couldn't do without it so why stir up shit unnecessarily? but then two wrongs never make a right so buring Quran in response to that is just as insensitive if not more for muslims. Also muslims and christians need to respect each others feelings and the ground zero mosque is a lot more trouble than its worth on that score. heck, i say donating the money to needy people would of been a far better use for those funds.
and its obvious that the whole lot of people commenting here have little to no knowledge about islamic teachings so there making themsleves look like a prat. ridiculous as it may seem, i get the uneasy feeling that some people think islam permits even encourages killing violence against non muslims. let this be clear in islam only in combat it is that you are permitted to kill non muslim males. and as for non-muslim women and children you cannot kill them under any circumstances or damage places of worship or even chop down trees.
and to the guy called "maxminine", i would like to inform you that back then a girl would be considered marraigeable once she started puberty. and its not like that prophet Muhummad (pbuh) was lustful (God forbid) there were a host of reasons behind that marraige, take a few mins and have a loook at this video if you please, hopefully you will think more rationally thereafter.

anyhow, i wasent trying to teach anyone Islam or start an argument but only intended to try and cool down the emotional and seemingly highly pissed of people on here. because seeing how far some people are willing to go just to insult each other feelins was very troubling for me, to say the least. i know some people will not like me for this post and haters will still continue to hate but even if it stops one guy from relishing the idea of insulting peoples feelings for no reason, i would be glad
comeon pls i thought you americans were smarter than that
now back to work.
