Knowing the Truth: Gateway to Knowledge

I was reading the Asian World Newspaper and I came across a page about world religions. I read what it said about Islam, and it said that; “In its first phase, Islam was aggressive. But the mystics of Islam, or the Suif saints helped in spreading the message of peace and universal love.”What it says is a whole load of crap. The real essence of Islam was there in its first period, and if you say that it was aggressive, then your saying that Islam is aggressive; a common misconception of the 21st century, fuelled by the media, which is inevitably controlled by America. (Most of it anyway). Islam is a peaceful religion, that is why it spread so quickly, because of its fairness to all, humans and creatures alike. And people who say Islam was spread by the sword are totally wrong. Another misconception fuelled by the media. Empires were spread by the sword es, but religion, no. How can people say Islam was aggressive when Muslims at war are not allowed to harm people who do not raise a weapon against you, women, children, aged people, trees, nature etc. Makkah was conquered without a drop of blood being shed, Jerusalem was conquered by Hazrat Umar Farooq without any lives being taken because it was for tolled in the Jewish scriptures that not to fight with the man with so and so description, and hand over the keys of Jerusalem to him without a fight because you will surely lose. And if Islam was spread by the sword then how come no-one was massacred. And right now I am talking about the early days. And the Jews of the city – when it was time for the Muslims to pray – offered for them to pray in their synagogue, but Hazrat Umar refused saying he didn’t want people to say that the Muslims conquer cities and read their prayers in other religions places of worship and also so it didn’t become a tradition.Yes Muslims have been persecuted, probably more than any other religious people since the beginning of time. Yes Muslims were forced to convert religions under persecution. When the Christians conquered Jerusalem, they massacred like hell, leaving not women, children, babies etc. It is said that the blood came up to the horses knees’ and how high up are horses knees? And what about when Spain was re-captures, Muslim Mosques were turned to churches, Muslims were treated unfairly, tortured, not cared about, had no right, were not allowed to avoid pork at meal times, had their graveyards desecrated etc.The amount of Muslims persecuted and that are still being persecuted is way more than the Holocaust, if it ever happened, but I am not going to accept or deny the Holocaust publicly for it is against the law. Hah, that’s funny, it is against the law. Now that’s saying something.And think about the Children in Iraq, Afganistan, Lebanon, Africa etc who are being killed mercilessly, under the heading of “War on Terror” fuelled for worldly desires of oil, natural resources, and generally the killing of Muslims, because of the fear that if Muslims unite, the truth will reach the world. But all the major stuff is dubbed down, and the diluted version reaches the public.I an going to conclude, by saying that Islamic law is just, and people only say that it was “aggressive” because the Muslims had the guts to retaliate Now-a-days retaliation for survival is seen as terrorism, and keeping your mouth shut is seen as if you are hiding something. Wake-up to the truth. Now.
