**“The greatest need in the world is the transformation of human nature. We need a new heart that will not have lust and greed and hate in it. We need a heart filled with love and peace and joy, and that is why Jesus came into the world.” ~B.G.
**“The deepest problems of the human race are spiritual in nature. They are rooted in man’s refusal to seek God’s way for his life. The problem is the human heart, which God alone can change.” ~B.G.
Gotta point out that the Q'ran teaches that understanding of Allah's will is a constant process and must undergo change (although scholars abrogated this process to themselves, wrongfully imho).
Also, context and nuance are difficult to convey in translation, while some Muslim schools of thought question precisely how the Q'ran's holiness should be seen.
Something to consider (but not to excuse sick crimes committed in Allah's name).
He forgot to quote also the passage were Qua'ran states that EVERY religion should be respected. Is easy to cut and paste only what you want and mak it in a hate message. That´s the problem with most ppl with more hate than reason: they only see what they want to see as a means of a target for their grief. Be a TRUE muslim and follow God´s words properly, not only what ppl twists and spins of it. Stop hate. This song is about waking up. Well, why not waking up right now and stop hating?
Until the moderate muslims step up and speak out against the extremists, the mid-east will continue on the violent course it is on. It's up to them.
Cartoons are printed and muslims go nuts. They blow up children in bus stations and you say the rest of us are hating? What do you think would happen to Jews if the extremists have their way?
The path of the extremist muslims will eventually put Islam in conflict with every one else. Sound familiar?
Some people are murderer because others don`t believe the same. Can this be true? Cant understand this things! Why?Stupid? Only because this people believe in different things? Everybody has the right to believe in what he means. People made mistakes in the world like this... why dont they learn? there is not ONE religion that`s right. Believing in God has many parallels in the different religions... perhaps they came all out of one believing.
I am gay and I Dont agree with any religion that permotes hate or killing any any way. However, what people must understand is that there are sheep out, who do exactly what they are told word for word. Islamic terrorist are to muslums as the KKK is to christians. We all have our sheep in our civilizations they both claim to be of that religion but they are sheep.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I am an american muslim 17 years, what a crock of lies about our holy book, how conviently mistranslated. Just more polictical propaganda to make the world think bad of muslims. Ironic from a woman who claims to be christian but is a lesbian which is a sin.Gods promise of doom on judgement day is also in the Bible too! or did you conviently forget that as well
Before you condemn Etheridge and set off world-wide rioting, you need to be made aware of this - the performance of the song has nothing to do with the subject being discussed here, it is simply the background music that the poster of the video is using.
Reading the comments I see, there is no mistake. The Koran is the visual background 4 Melissa soulful singing, what would the Koran say about Melissa? segments of those who say they adore the Koran and segments of those who say they adore the bible, distort these scriptures, to threaten the rest of us. Lets send them into the desert & let them debate/fight & leave the rest of us alone we will listen to Melissa sing in a peace that is not full of hate distortions of the will of God/Allah
This surely is a one-sided video wich put many things out of it's context. I compared some of the "teachings" with the actual text from the Koran and they rarely matched. It seems like "shera1" read things the way he/she wanted to read them. And when you use that kind of method, you can make all things look negative.
All I can do is shake my head with dispair...The Western world has long way to come before they break through their barrier of inconsequential and ignorant stereopyping. Sad...
"Kill disbelievers wherever you find them. If they attack you, then kill them. Such is the reward of disbelievers. (But if they desist in their unbelief, then don't kill them)
There is so much truth in your words. God gave us free will, FREE to believe what we feel is our truth and our path. If God did not want us to have free will he/she would not have given it to us. Killing in the name of God shows that the person that is doing the killing has no connection to God at all. Great Video!!!
You consider a video that put flat out lies to the table "great"? You might want to consider viewing both sides of the story before posting. But I'll guess this way is easier.
And if - by any chance - you should consider actually reading what the Koran says. It might be a good thing not to take all things literary...
I have read the Qua'ran, my husband was Muslim for more than 30 years. My opinion will not change. Check the Surah's, this video is not lying. You need to understand is that there ARE Muslims out there that do take this literally and kill in the name of Allah and that is wrong. Any Faith, I mean ANY FAITH is wrong that promotes such intolerance and they all show NO TRUE CONNECTION TO OUR BLESSED CREATOR!!! Do you really believe that God would want us to be separate, NO~ WE ARE ALL ONE!!
You also need to read what I said. I was not attacking Islam, but I do not have to agree with any Religion that will promote killing another human being. Gandhi freed the Nation of India without lifting a finger in violence. We could learn from that. IT is time to WAKE UP NOW!!! For the history of our planet we have destroyed civilizations because we can not stop the violence. Peace is the only answer.
Our teacher played this song and showed photos and I started crying
