I belive marriage is a personal thing. everyone should marry who they like!! why should religion stop the women I love or the women to love back?

[besmb2105]

Cant believe all these stupid comments here.

This man is actually doing our society a favour, muslims and non - muslims.

Im glad theres some muslims that speaks out against attrocities commited in the name of their religion. We have seen jews doing it in the attacks on Ghaza. We have seen americans doing it against the war in Iraq. So why cant we see more muslims speaking out against radical and fundamentalist forms of islam?

Just finished reading this book. Thought it was very educational for a non Muslim, like me.

`All the above is a practicing muslim`!! thats why normal people want them to 'revert' to practicing human beings...

[norrie007]

whats an extremist? a muslim who supports his brothers and sisters overseas who are getting killed? not condemning 9-11 when worse happens in iraq everyday? saying that you don't respect western values when they completely contradict the shariah ie islam? giving allegiance to the queen or the country or the culture when your allegiance is none but to Allah his messenger and the believers? a muslim who is against gays, alcohol and gambling?

you see all the above is a PRACTICING muslim.

Ed Hussain speaks the truth.

Islamism is not Islam.

Islam is for humanity, Islamism is for the mis-guided.

I salute u comrade Ed Hussain

Long live Islam

Long live Communism

@DinOfAllah it is quite interesting you should say that, I have been thinking about that fact that Islam may very well be the only religion that permits you to love god and use violence at the same time, in the name of defence. It is very troubling to me and a grave contradiction.

But, Christians who do violence and justify it are automatically hypocrits because you are not permitted to even defend yourself if you are a real Christian. (a true christian nation would have no army what-so-ever).

[waspandor]

not muslim. period.

I think he is a closet homosexual (I am not writing this as a muslim, I am Atheist). Just a hunch I get.

If the world belongs to Allah, then peoples of those lands must surrender to Allah, which means they must accept Islam. Which means, Dar ul Kufr must be converted into Dar ul Islam, i.e Kafir must be eliminated or converted.

The West understands Islam well, since Muslims failed to conquer the West in the early days of Islam. Thus the West is being preemptive by attacking Muslims. Because if they dont, Muslims will attack them.

Unfortunately for you the West is stronger.

[smodass]

But the islamist thinks the whole world is Islamic land, so in effect, there will be permanent Jihad.
