Islam: The Message of Peace
http://www.islamweb.net/ver2/archive/article.php?lang=E&id=32538
The Prophet's most important task was to bring peace to the world. To
this end, he urged people to accept the fact that, regardless of skin
colour, language, lifestyle or dwelling place, they were all blood
brothers and sisters. Only if they saw each other in this light could
there be mutual love and respect.
To his followers he would say, "You are all Adam's children, and Adam
was made of clay," and, asking them to live in peace, would add, "A
true believer is one with whom others feel secure - one who returns
love for hatred." He taught believers that returning love only when
love was given was base human conduct. The true believer causes no
harm to those who mistreated him, but chose rather to work for their
good.
The Prophet himself led the way with his common sense, kindness,
gentleness, humility, and good humour. He greatly loved all people
and
even animals.
The Prophet was a leader, yet, believing he was no greater or better
than others, he never made people feel small, unwanted or
embarrassed.
He urged his followers to behave kindly and humbly, to release slaves
whenever possible and to give alms, especially to very poor people,
orphans and prisoners - with no thought of reward.
He was the soul of goodness, so that even if people harmed him, he
would pray for them, remaining unruffled, no matter how badly he was
treated. In setting this example, he encouraged people to turn to
Allah, as a Being of surpassing greatness.
He wanted all men and women to be unworldly and to have such great
peace of mind that nothing could disturb them. Then, with no grudges
to bear, they would seek no revenge, but would merely turn all
events,
whether material or spiritual, into food for thought.
Throughout the first thirteen years of his prophethood, the Prophet
Muhammad preached in Makkah, although the Makkans bitterly opposed
this. When things became impossible, he left for Madinah.
Wars were waged against him, but he convinced his enemies that peace
had greater power than war, as was shown by the peace treaty of
Hudaybiyyah. In this the Prophet agreed to every demand of his
enemies, on the assurance that, in return, peace would necessarily
ensue.
His life went through various stages of well-being and extreme
hardship, yet never once did he stray from the path of moderation.
At all times, and right till the end, he remained the patient and
grateful servant of the Almighty, bringing His message of peace and
tolerance to all mankind.

Take a deep breath and count to ten. She has every right to spread her
beliefs (no matter how wrong) as you do. If you want to get rid of her then
tell her about the Christian Faith. Muslims like to convert but can't stand
to be converted. Sort of narrow minded that way, they don't even want to
hear that there may be anything but their brand of idiocy. Please do it by
e-mail and not on use net. Most people here have already made a choice.

No religion ever prospered by bringing peace to the world.

Not even the buddhists.
No, I take that back. I can't think of one single conflict
or depredation inflicted by Satanists.

You paint with a pretty broad brush. I won't ask you to back that up
because I know that you can't.

Think man, think.
Satanists (as an organized religion) are, at most, a few tens of
thousands. Barely enough to sway an election for local dogcatcher. Never
more than a few of them in any one location and so involved with
in-fighting as to be totally ineffective outside their own immediate
realm. They are the script kiddies of religion. DAMHIKT, but I am NOT
guessing.
The group I am thinking of has over 6.5 million active adherents and has
been building ~10 new/heavily renovated houses of worship a week for the
past 8 years to house their growing membership ... and can't keep up
with the increase in their membership. They are anything but hard to
find, having brought 39 cases before SCOTUS and having won 37 of them.
But, despite being among the first to reside in Hitlers camps, they have
never had a dog in ANY militarized conflict. Their members are known for
being non-violent and law abiding with the exception of refusing any
form of military service under ANY flag. And they are growing at a rate
of about 1,000 a day.
At a time when many denominations are shrinking, they are growing. I'd
call that prosperity. DAMHIKT, but I'm STILL not guessing.

I already can't see the posts about Islam (until the sender name changes

Take your murderous religion and your pedophile prophet and get the

Matter of fact, take all of your co-religionist with you and leave
this country forever. You people have no business in the United
States and if we Americans had any cohones left would drive you out.
