Most of them came from America.<br /> <br /> Most of them are just comments but some try to convey that Islam is a religion of violence by quoting the Quran.<br /> <br /> One of the most famous quote would be Suran 9:5 "fight and slay the unbelievers where ever you find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them"<br /> <br /> Sounds violent huh...<br /> <br /> Lets try this one more time, but include the previous and next verse and complete the current verse.<br /> <br /> <img src= "http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p301/MohamedF/misc2/94.jpg" alt="image" /><br /> <br /> <img src= "http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p301/MohamedF/misc2/95.jpg" alt="image" /><br /> <br /> <img src= "http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p301/MohamedF/misc2/96.jpg" alt="image" /><br /> <br /> This particular passage is simply referring to a historical where some unbelievers had broken a peace treaty with the muslim and a battle had erupted.<br /> <br /> We live in Singapore where Religious harmony exist. Lets not let something as simple as taking stuff out of context ruin that.</p> Fri, 25 May 2007 19:32:53 +0800 minaret.sgforums.com:2570:256400:6552301 MohamedF http://minaret.sgforums.com/forums/2570/topics/256400
