Admin,
You have said Jesus was a good man spreading message of love and respect for all. What about Mohammad…? -Golnar

Dear Golnar,
You have raised a good question. We read about Jesus in three chapters of the Bible and got really impressed by his teachings. However, after those Jesus’ three chapters, later chapters were again back to the other part of the Bible. If Jesus’ teaching was all about being a Christian, today we would be Christian. Unfortunately, the churches are teaching something different.
About Muhammad, we have not read enough to make any judgment about him. We loved Koran for its simplicity, charity without fruits of action, equality of all people and a simple message of submitting to God. However, we did not like that after every good message there are severe punishments listed for those who do not follow those rules. It is like a school teacher who keeps hitting students with a stick while giving superb education. Yes, that model worked in old days but no more now. Again, if Muslims are ready to down play all objectionable wordings in the Koran, we would be gladly be a Muslim today.
About Muhammad’s messages, he gave better messages in Mecca than in Madina. We do not like polygamy and an old man sleeping with a teen wife. Further, we believe in Darvin’s Law of Evaluation and not the Koranic science that this world was made in 2+4 days. As far we are concerned, the Judgment Day theory is a carrot on a stick, keep chasing it! Absolute intolerance for non-followers of Koranic teaching is wrong. To teach not to make friends with Christians and Jews (and Hindus and Buddhists) is wrong. To believe that Islam is only true religion or Koran is 100% truth is wrong. For a Muslim lover to expect 100% Islam and 0% Hinduism after interfaith marriage is wrong.
We believe Koran has its place and should be respected as an Islamic scripture. All Scriptures have limitations, still every scripture has something good for us to learn from it. We do not believe most Muslims are believing and following Koran and Hadith literally today; we thank Allah for it. We love tolerant beliefs of proud Muslims like Iftekhar, SRK, Seema, Salman, Saif, Shamim, and millions more other true Muslims. Peace and harmony in this World is possible because of such great pluralist and tolerant people, not intolerant people like ISIS, Osama Bin Laden, Zakir Naik, and some of writers on this web site, like Mr. Haque. -Admin

A man asked the Messenger of Allah (pbuh): “Which act in Islam is the best?” He (pbuh) replied, “To give food, and to greet everyone, whether you know or you do not.” [Bukhari and Muslim].
Feed the hungry, visit the sick, and set free the captives.
Forgive him who wrongs you; join him who cuts you off; do good to him who does evil to you, and speak the truth even if it be against yourself.
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)
Beauty!

Who was Prophet Muhammad? (Pbuh)
He is the one who defended the rights of all humanity 1400 years ago.
He defended men’s, women’s and children rights
He commanded and fostered the love between relatives and neighbors
He established a coexistence relationship between Muslims and Non-Muslims
He organized the relationship between the members of the family putting duties on sons and daughters towards the parents
He fought injustice, called for justice, love, unity and cooperation for the good.
He called for helping the needy, visiting the patients, love and exchanging advises between people.
He prohibited (by orders from God) bad manners such as stealing, lying, torturing and murdering.
He is the one who changed our lives and manners to be better.
A Muslim doesn’t steal
A Muslim doesn’t lie
A Muslim doesn’t drink alcohol.
A Muslim doesn’t commit adultery
A Muslim doesn’t cheat
A Muslim doesn’t kill innocent people
A Muslim doesn’t harm his neighbors
A Muslim obeys his parents and helps them
A Muslim is kind to young and elderly people, to women and to weak people.
A Muslim doesn’t torture humans or even animals, and does not harm trees
A Muslim loves his wife and takes care of his children and show mercy towards them until the last day of his life.
A Muslim’s relationship towards his children never stops even when they become adults
He is Muhammad (PBUH)
Did you know why all Muslims love Muhammad (PBUH)?
Did you know what does Muhammad mean for Muslims?
Every Muslim loves Muhammad (peace be upon him) more than himself and more than everything in his life.
Before judging a Muslim be fair and:
1-Listen to this person, and watch his doings.
2-Compare his ideas and teachings with what is Islam and Prophet Mohammad PBUH ordered.
3-If you think that his thoughts are typical to that of Islam and Prophet Mohammad PBUH, and then compare them with his doings; is he applying these teachings?
4-If he is applying these teachings and sayings, so for sure represents Islam, if not then he calls himself a Muslim but doesn’t represent Islam.
Hint: Prophet Mohammad is the best Muslim, no Muslim can be as perfect as he was, Muslims try their best to be the typical Muslim like Prophet Mohammad PBUH but sometimes they disobey God and Prophet Mohammad PBUH as they are normal humans who are subject to do wrong but the repent and get back to the right path.
I love Allah

Who was Muhammad?
1. Liar
He was offered money by his enemies … He didn’t accept… He needed to spread his message… A liar would’ve given up his lie for worldly gain
2. Crazy
He has millions of followers worldwide and was followed by some of the most influential people of his time… Would they really follow a mad man?
3. Truthful
Came and told the people to worship One God, he went through pain, torture and grief and now his religion is one of the most followed religions worldwide, he came as a mercy for the worlds and even his enemies spoke well of him… What a man he was
Muhammad May peace and blessings be upon his soul… The last and final Prophet of God
A woman used to throw trash at him when he passed by her house. He went to visit her when she got ill.
He was Muhammad(peace be upon him), the prophet of Islam.
I would like to add further that Mohammad is also known for polygamy, older people marrying child bride, stonning to death, keeping sex slaves, chopping of body parts.
Inspite of preaching so many evils, still claiming to be messenger of Allah?
Dear readers,
There is no comparison between Jesus and Mohammad. While Jesus is known for his noble teachings, piece and harmony through out the whole, Mohammad is known for blood shed, murders, killing, violence, hatred, discrimination, kidnapping, raping, zihad fatwa, terrorist activities globally.
