@ZlatkoTheGod The simple fact is that most evangelical Christians try to soften or 'whitewash' Biblical teachings through a secular lens in order to appear as a religion that promises peace, tolerance, and 'freedom', with an arm-band confirming self-righteous attitude with the promise of a golden ticket through the pearly gates of heaven. I always say: don't forget to read the small-print disclaimers before you make a grab at something that you think is free.

@TheNusaybahProject Well said my friend, well said... Oh and I'm not saying Islam is the MOST tolerant. It's just that most other religions such as Christianity simplified the terms so they can be misinterpreted easily. Islam however tells you the exact circumstances. That's what the people needed 1400 years ago. And still no one listens...

@ZlatkoTheGod so many bigots and hate-mongerers would disagree with you when you say that Islam is the most tolerant of all religions. In fact, the term "Islam is Peace" is mocked when put in context of acts of terror attributed to 'Muslims'. A future video project that's pending will inshAllah challenge this very view that Islam means terror and war against non-Muslims - so many are short-sighted, ill-informed and choose ignorance over truth and rational thought/reasoning.

@TheNusaybahProject Completely agreed! You know, I've grown up (and still live) in a country that praises the people who committed the worst crimes against Muslims you can imagine. Thus I never knew much about my religion. And when I saw this movie my breath was taken away! It was brilliant! And no wonder many people convert to Islam. I mean it's the most tolerant of all religions I know. I mean even Christianity tells you to love you neighbor but only Islam tells you to respect other cultures..

@ZlatkoTheGod yes, 'The Message' was a ground-breaking film that drew many non-Muslim to embrace Islam. There was a documentary once on converts to Islam in which a young white British couple said they went to the cinema to watch something that was sold out, and they ended up watching 'The Message' - after watching the film (and other reading of their own) the two converted to Islam. Point is, the film was the trigger of interest in Islam for them.

@TheNusaybahProject Don't really know how to respond... Perhaps a simple I like you would do? :) Anyway I really like this movie how 'bout you?
