@scmforchrist With all due respect, it is completely unnecessary for you to be uttering hate crimes committed by a group of Somalis and use it to divulge and stress your message-whatever that message may be. Among the many ideas this poem calls attention to, peace stands out. So please carry this message forward Pastor Andrew and please refrain from expressing negativity when you could be spreading the meaning of peace, transcending the boundaries of race and religion. May peace be upon you.

I LIKE WHAT THE BROTHER IS SAYING. BUT I WANT EVERY MUSLIM TO KNOW THAT A MUSLIM PERSON CAN NOT JOIN A KAFIRIIN ARMY. KAFIRIIN MEANS NON--muslim army SO. THE OTHER ONE MUSLIM MUST NOT FIGHT ANOTHER MUSLIM THATS CLEAR. AM GLAD HE IS NOT DEAD BECAUSE IF A MUSLIM DIES BY FIGHTING ANOTHER MUSLIM WALAHI HE IS GOING TO HELL. THAT IS WHAT ALLAH AND HES MESSENGER SAID. THESE ARE NOT MY WORDS. ASSALAMU CALAYKUM.

@PoetNation Sad that a lot of people still have an irrational hatred and fear of Muslims

[MrStarter93]

@Quran871 Well his not trying to promote Islam, so people can turn to it. His trying to explain that Islam does not equel Terrorisme.

Btw he can't be responsible for what people say in the comment box. Yes it's haram to curse, but instead of focusing on that, then just listen to what he says - what his point is. Do you think it's smart to curse at him, because he curses?

[Quran871]

@MrStarter93 haha i also smoke weed does that mean grass is halal? pretending to curse, a girl without a hijab etc. im gonna quote some comments on this video "i would so do em... he is soo hot" "someone bring me this man i wanna marry him" ok i " im not muslim and im in love" i think you heard enough. is the comments about islam? is the vid about islam. are non muslims getting to seee islam. does it have to do with islam? no. i cursed sorry yes its haram. i dont make vids though

[MrStarter93]

@Quran871 Funny that you say that he curses, but you do it yourself.
