Bedouin Darkness Spreads With Oil Money
in response to reader comment: The overtly racist content of this article means it has no place at all in a civilized newspaper

Submitted by Mohamed Zarook, Dec 9, 2007 08:05

The contents of the article needs a greater in depth knowledge of Islam and its successes and failures. Islam spread by the sword is no more a marketable concept. All lateral thinkers have totally rejected concept created from the time of crusade. We need an enlighten approach to different ideologies in the world. it is easy to crucify them at the alter of Freedom of speech Etc. Mohammad did perform many miracles, but Muslims do not harp on that as a proof of Prophet hood. A Muslim can never ever be a Muslims if he does not believe in the Prophet hood of Adam, Abraham, Moses Jesus and Muhammad and all the prophets mentioned in the Bible. Muslims also believe in the day of Judgment hell and heaven and the return of Jesus on the Last Day. How ever much people try to divide the 3 monotheistic faiths Judaism, Christianity and Islam, one thing stand clear loud and sound that the God of these 3 monotheistic faith are one and the same. One may call God my any name it is the same God. When Jesus said "Oh! father in heaven, that father in heaven is the God of the Muslims. Islam is not a brand news ( old religion) off the pack from God.
It is clearly stated in the Quran " this day I have perfected your faith and I call it Islam". To perfect something it should have been there in some form or other. Let us strive hard to create a world where humanity can live in peace and harmony irrespective of departmentalized religions and faiths. Jesus is described as "Prince of Peace". Why not make it a reality.
