Re: An Independent Article (very interesting) (Re: Eman El Sayed Taha)

Dear Eman,
Taking some of the Islamic quotes out of its historical context, renders it irrelevant, and reflects injustice in terms of trying to establish the fact that, Islam promoted violence or the use of extreme force in dealing with those who are opposing you, or don’t share your belief. As we all know the verse that say “ إنك لا تهدى من أحببت و لكن الله يهدى من يشاء" , among other verses and historical practices of Muslims who invaded new lands, about how they accepted “the other” and protected them within the Islamic state. We should also remember the understanding that, versus of the bible he or they quote are not the original testament, as we all know there are more than one version of the holy book, something that needs no further proof of the alterations on the original texts. We have no doubt that the word of God promotes love among the people, and not violence and terror. However, the idea of trying to discuss linking terrorism to one religion as what is going on these days in the West is a good move in the right direction..
Thanks for an interesting article indeed, I might come back with more observations about the rest of the article.
