Islam is the source of all Evil. Qu’ran was written so that Allah or the Muslims can supress freedom under the[Edited out] rule. No freedom for women, no freedom to sing or dance. What kind of religion teaches killing is righteous and kill any one who doesn’t believe in [Edited out]? I’m not a racist but I saw through my own eyes what the Muslims are like, they say one thing and do something else. Why did our great grand fathers mentioned to Muslims as hat turners? We all know that Islamic brothers pretend to be patriotic but really they are brain washed into Muslimising the country. You can see what the Islamists are doing all around the world, bombing and killing innocent people who they believe are not muslims. Myslims do all the dirty business and go to Mosque first thing on friday Mornings. What a bunch of hypocrites.

Brother, this type of hatred towards another religion happens when you subscribe to the evil of Anagarika Adharmapala. That M-ther F-ker gave up Christianity and adopted SATANISM as his faith. He was driven to this evil by none other than the other two famous Satanists who gave up Christianity are Olcott & Blavatsky.
Two evil personality who established the Evil society of Theosophy which became the inspiration to HITLER to kill millions with the evil Tibetan Buddhism, from where Hitler adopted the symbol of SWASTIKA as a blessed symbol for his Darwinian philosophy of murder & mayhem under pretext of “The Survival of the Fittest”.
Did Hitler read QURAN to kill 600 million poeple? Or did he read Buddhist Scripture? He read Buddhist writings and scripture and then convinced to kill the innocent human beings.
OLCOTT, BLAVATSKY, LEADBEATER, ANNIE BESANT….all occultist satans

First of all before commenting about Islam please read the quran fully and then comment. Islam never supresses freedom. If u are talking about freedom are u living free even in this country which is not a muslim country.So for u singing,dancing and women showing off there private part is freedom? There is no where in quran it says to kill unbelivers for on reason.Dont judge Islam by some muslims whom u know..go and read the quran. Am sad to see u have a poor general knowladge about world affairs…go back to 1900 and up to now how many wars happened and how many muslim countries where the culprits? Recent problems are u think because of Islamist not b cos of America or Zionists…?

@jihawk Ammo – Please, please people, don’t vent your hatred and anger by attacking Islam and its teachings, which has a worldwide faithful following of nearly 1.5 billion Muslims and growing. Surely if Islam is that bad, why do you think it is second only to Christianity in number of adherents. Surely they cannot all be stupid.
The subject matter is not about Islam, but something to do with Thomas Jefferson’s perceptions on Islam. If Cassius Clay can become Muhammed Ali, Cat Stevens can become Yusuf Islam, Priest = Father Estes can become Yusuf Estes, to name just a few amongst many who have reverted to Islam, why not just listen to the reasons they give that convinced them that Islam is the only true religion to inspire them. Once in, they never want to leave. So your spat on Islam is only displaying your ignorance, just plain and simple. You don’t have what it takes to understand a religion and its pros and cons, nor the mental capacity to filter truth from fiction, facts from lies, and lend your brains to get thoroughly brainwashed, by a small band of skinheads in saffron robes, parading as the country’s saviors.

Burma’s Buddhist Pogroms
by Angus Cargill
http://www.trimondi.de/EN/Burma.htm
In neighbouring Sri Lanka, a country which prides itself as having preserved one of the earliest and purest forms of Buddhism, even more bloodthirsty ethnic conflict with the Hindu Tamil minority led to massacres at the end of the civil war in 2009 which left at least 30,000 dead and, according to the Sri Lankan Catholic Bishop Joseph Rayappu, 146,679 unaccounted for. Sri Lankan Buddhist monks have been equally prominent in fanning the flames of ethnic and religious tension there, leading demonstrations in 2002 which prevented a peaceful settlement to the civil war, assassinating Prime Minister S.W.R.D Bandaranaike in 1959 for making concessions aimed at reconciliation with the Tamils (1), and most recently storming a mosque which they claimed was on ancestral Buddhist territory. The Japanese Zen Buddhist leadership, according to the Zen priest Brian Victoria, writing in “Buddhist Warfare,” a collection of essays published by the Oxford University Press in 2010, displayed “fervent if not fanatical support of Japanese militarism.” (2)
The first formal European convert to Buddhism, Helena Blavatsky, who took Buddhist vows in Sri Lanka in 1880, was a rabid anti-Semite, translations of whose books were the first in Germany to bear the swastika, and whose Theosophical Society laid the foundations for the foundation of the Nazi Party in 1920. So what could the reason be for such vicious racially inspired violence breaking out in these three Buddhist countries, between them accounting for a substantial majority of Buddhist worshippers in the world today? Coincidence? Well, maybe, but consider a few thought-provoking facts. Early European Buddhists were almost exclusively anti-Semitic and deeply racist promoters of the myth of the “Aryan master race,” which they believed had followed a religion similar to Buddhism. The philosopher Schopenhauer, who was the first European to call himself a Buddhist as well as being a rabid and offensive anti-Semite, the anti-Semitic composer Wagner, even the SS leader Himmler were all serious students of Indian and Buddhist philosophy. The first formal European convert to Buddhism, Helena Blavatsky, who took Buddhist vows in Sri Lanka in 1920. Her protégé, Anagarika Dharmapala, was the chief ideologist of Sri Lankan nationalism, and in his writings and speeches preached a militant race theory that praised the “Aryan” Buddhist Sinhalese and denigrated the other races of Sri Lanka, including the “shylock-like” Muslims. From 1911 until the 1950s the “Island Hermitage” of German, Croatian and British monks in Sri Lanka was led by the German monk Nyanatiloka, who refused to ordain one of his fellow monks because he was Jewish and during wartime internment chose the “Fascist “ section of his prison camp over the “Democratic” section, and two of its prominent British members joined after reading the writings of the Italian fascist Julius Evola, another scholar of Buddhism, who was also a member of the SS research branch, the “Ahnenerbe.” The writings of the first European Buddhist monk, Allan Bennett, who was ordained in Burma, show a deep obsession with the racial aspects of Buddhism, but this connection with European racism seems to have borne even more sinister fruit in the 1930s with the rise of Burmese Nationalism. According to the German historian Hans Berndt Zoellner, U Saw, the third pre-independence Prime Minister of Burma from 1941-1942 , translated Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” into Burmese, and published it in his newspaper. The Austrian Professor Volker Zotz (3), who cites Zoellner, also quotes a saying popular in Burmese nationalist circles during World War II. “Germany and Japan, come safely to us, because you are of the Sakya race,” Sakya referring to the Buddha’s clan name.
If the conflicts in Burma and Sri Lanka are set to continue the marriage made in hell between Asian Buddhism and European race theory, of which Nazi Germany was not the only, but by far the worst example, then they may be even more difficult to solve than we have thought up to now.

Such remarks makes one wonder what inadequacies in a person, makes them spew hatred for a people or religion, they do know NOTHING about. To think that regurgitating such nonsense, while at the same time knowing the response will be overwhelmingly by those who disagree, shows ignorance and bigotry.

Jihawk Ammo,
“Islam is the source of all Evil.”
There was evil before Islam. There was evil after Islam. Religion was invented by man, to maintain the hegemony of those on top.
Religion of the Source of Evil. The Religions are Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, The Maya Religion and many others based on myths, unproven myths, that throws away reason and investigation in favor of dogma and Monk-Priest-Mullah Hegemony.
This is the Core of Thomas Jefferson’s ideas. He came to this conclusion based on European History, all the way from the Greeks. He recognized Priest, Monk, Mullah hegemony, and the religious dictatorship based on their dogma, and wanted dogma and state separated.
What a visionary. France and Turkey followed his vision.
“Religious liberty, Jefferson argued, denies the majority any right to coerce a dissenting minority, even one hostile to religion. Jefferson rejected using government power to coerce religious belief and practice because it would create a nation of tyrants and hypocrites, as it is impossible to force someone to believe against the promptings of his conscience. Jefferson embraced religious liberty and separation of church and state to protect the individual human mind and the secular political realm from the corrupting alliance of church and state. His political ally James Madison, echoing Roger Williams, the seventeenth-century Baptist religious leader and founder of Rhode Island, added that separation of church and state also would protect the garden of the church from a corrupting alliance with the wilderness of the secular world.”

A child,born in the developed world,obviously not in

taken very serious of his growth to adulthood,to see
how his world is shaped by those who are responsible
for his growth both physically and mentally.The role
of his family,school,friends and the community he
lives in,as a protection and guidance to his freedom
of movement.Just follow on and build up a larger
picture to catch a glimpse of what they,each and
every one do to live and leave something for their
next generation to carry on.And in all these,the
role of religion!Take only the natives.Immigrants
are sandwiched between two worlds,so leave them out.
Religion is given a place to settle down and mind
its business.In sharp contrast,we use the religion
to ruin our lives.Is it religions or we who are to
blame?I strongly feel we in Srilanka had been doing
very well to distance the administration from the
religion and towards a better economy but this
regime is involved in manipulating and giving a
lifeline to use the religion as a trump to stay
in power at ANY COST.

Buddhism: Philosophy or Religion?
Some in the West dismiss these devotional and worshipful aspects of Buddhism as corruptions of the original teachings of the Buddha. For example, Sam Harris, a self-identified atheist who has expressed admiration for Buddhism, has said Buddhism should be taken away from Buddhists. Buddhism would be so much better, Harris wrote, if it could be cleansed of the “naive, petitionary, and superstitious” trappings of religion altogether.

Heinrich Himmler: The Nazi Hindu
By By Palash Ghosh
http://www.ibtimes.com/heinrich-himmler-nazi-hindu-214444
More than 65 years after the fall of the Third Reich, Nazi Germany remains an obsession with millions of people around the world.
Adolf Hitler was one of the most prominent historical figures from the 20th century, evoking both disgust and fascination. While other totalitarian regimes from that period — including Fascist Italy and Imperial Japan — have largely faded from the public’s consciousness, Nazi Germany still exerts a powerful hold on many for a variety of reasons.
Among the most interesting and perplexing aspects of the Nazi regime was its connection to India and Hinduism. Indeed, Hitler embraced one of the most prominent symbols of ancient India — the swastika — as his own.
The link between Nazi Germany and ancient India, however, goes deeper than just the swastika.
The Nazis venerated the notion of a pure, noble Aryan race, who are believed to have invaded India thousands of years ago from Central Asia and established a martial society based on a rigid social structure with strict caste distinctions.
While scholars in both India and Europe have rejected and debunked the notion of an Aryan race, the myths and legends of ancient Vedic-Hindu India have had a tremendous influence on many nations, none more so than Germany.
Perhaps the most fervent Nazi adherent to Indian Hinduism was Heinrich Himmler, one of the most brutal members of the senior command.
Himmler, directly responsible for the deaths of millions of Jews and others as the architect of the Holocaust, was a complex and fascinating man. He was also obsessed with India and Hinduism.
International Business Times spoke with two experts on German culture to explore Himmler and Hinduism.
Victor and Victoria Trimondi are German cultural philosophers and writers. They have published books on religious and political topics, including Hitler-Buddha-Krishna-An Unholy Alliance from the Third Reich to the Present Day (2002), a research about the efforts by National-Socialists and Fascists to construct a racist Indo-Aryan warrior ideology with strong roots in Eastern religions and philosophies.
IB TIMES: Heinrich Himmler was reportedly fascinated by Hinduism and ancient Indian culture, and he read the Bhagavad Gita, among other classic texts. How and when was he introduced to Indian culture? Was it prior to his joining the Nazi party or afterwards?
MR. & MRS. TRIMONDI: Himmler kept a diary where he not only listed the books he read but also provided extensive comments on these manuscripts. His entries regarding India and Indians were always very positive.
Himmler’s Indian reading list started in 1919 [before the Nazi Party was formed] with a German translation of a novel called Mr. Isaacs: A Tale of Modern India by Marion Crawfords. Six years later, in 1925, Himmler also praised Hermann Hesse’s Siddhartha as a magnificent book.
Himmler was also drawn to The Pilgrim Kamanita by the Danish author Karl Gjellerup, which was a contemporary best-seller. In his diary, Himmler commented: A precious narration. The content is the teaching of salvation.
Gjellerup’s book quoted several verses from the Vedas, including: The one who kills believes that he is killing. The one who has been killed believes that he dies. Both of them are wrong, for one doesn’t die and the other doesn’t kill.
Later, Himmler delivered some of these same philosophies in his speeches to his SS officers.
In the 1920s and the early 1930s, Himmler read some popular books about Hinduism and Buddhism. Yet, his actual interest in classic Hindu texts came later, when he founded the SS-Ahnenerbe, the brain trust of the Black Order, a group of highly qualified academics and occultists that attempted to forge the ideology of a racist warrior religion.
In 1937, Himmler chose Professor Walter Wüst to serve as the president of the SS-Ahnenerbe. Two years later, Wüst became the curator of this notorious organization. Incidentally, in addition to being one of the leading Sanskrit scholars of his time, Wüst served as the president of the Maximilian University in Munich. In the academic world, Orientalists from this particular university were considered the top experts in their field.
Wüst was keenly interested in extracting ideas from the Vedas and Buddhism of the so-called Aryan tradition in order to give National Socialism a religious dimension. One slogan of his was: Also above India hovers the sun-sign of the Swastika.
To Wüst, Hitler appeared as the manifestation of a Chakravartin – Indo-Aryan world emperor.
Wüst tried to support this particular speculation by verses from classical Indian scriptures. Moreover, in one of his emotion-driven speeches, he compared Hitler with the historical Buddha.
IB TIMES: Germany’s fascination with ancient India and its culture began in the 19th century, no? That is, long before the advent of the Nazis. Is it correct?
MR. & MRS. TRIMONDI: Indeed, Germany had been a true center for Sanskrit studies in the nineteenth century. To be exact, there were scholars and writers in this field who either put the emphasis on the peaceful aspects of Indian culture (e.g. Johann Gottfried Herder and Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling) or pointed out the nihilistic side of Buddhism or Shankara philosophy (like Arthur Schopenhauer).
However, with the radicalization of German nationalism, writers began to put more emphasis on the martial aspects of Hindu culture. One of the first who tried to blend the warrior ideology of ancient India with Aryan racism was Houston Stewart Chamberlain, an English-born author who lived in Germany and who was later held in a high esteem by the Nazis.
IB TIMES: Is it true that Himmler could read and speak Sanskrit fluently? Where and how did he learn such a difficult foreign language?
MR. & MRS. TRIMONDI: We do not have any evidence that he mastered Sanskrit. However, Himmler did not need to read this ancient tongue since he always had Wüst by his side.
By constantly interacting with Himmler, Wüst was directly involved in his philosophical and ideological projects, and he could provide an answer to any linguistic questions coming from the Reichsführer SS.
IB TIMES: As Reichsführer of the SS, Chief of the German Police, Minister of the Interior and head of the Gestapo and the Einsatzgruppen killing squads, Himmler was responsible for the murder of millions of innocent people. How did he reconcile such brutality with the tenets of Hinduism, which is generally peaceful?
MR. & MRS. TRIMONDI: The image of Hinduism as a totally peaceful religion is a widespread fallacy. In fact, one can find plenty of martial aspects in Hindu culture, which had been emphasized by various individuals even before the Nazi period, during Hitler’s reign, and even today by the extreme right wing in Europe and elsewhere.
For example, in his introduction to a popular edition of the Bhagavad Gita, Leopold Schroeder, a student of ancient India, wrote that this poem describes the powerful ethics of Kshatriya (Warrior) religion at a time when the warriors and kings of India provided a spiritual leadership instead of the priestly caste.
It is very likely that Himmler used this particular edition of the Bhagavad Gita. It was the Kshatriya, the ancient Hindu warrior caste, and its ethical ideals that fascinated the Nazis so much among other elements of Indian history and culture.
IB TIMES: Aside from millions of Jews, Himmler was also responsible for the mass murder of up to half-million Roma (gypsies). Was he not aware that the Roma are also of Indian descent?
MR. & MRS. TRIMONDI: He must have known it. At the same time, we should remember that Western racist intellectuals usually divided Indian society into two castes: light-skinned Aryan conquerors (priests, warriors and merchants) and dark-skinned indigenous Dravidians or Chandalens — the latter expression goes back to a Sanskrit word Chandala – or, ‘The Untouchables.’ Himmler surely viewed the Roma as a part of this outcast group.
IB TIMES: Bhagavad Gita partially focuses on the adventures of Arjuna, the world’s greatest warrior. Did Himmler fantasize that he was a 20th-century Arjuna fighting for the glory of the Aryans? Did Himmler view Hitler as his god Krishna – like a reincarnation of god Krishna?
MR. & MRS. TRIMONDI: When speaking about the Aryan culture proper and the old German or Nordic gods, Himmler clearly viewed them as parts of the same spiritual ideology.
In this sense, Himmler was indeed fighting for the glory of the Aryans. Thus, Himmler was convinced that the thunderbolts mentioned in both Indian and European mythologies were references to the super-weapons of Aryan Gods, who possessed incredible knowledge of electricity.
However, we do not know whether Himmler identified himself with Arjuna or not. At the same time, considering the fact that he did indeed compare Hitler to Krishna, it is quite possible that he cast himself as the character of Arjuna.
On one occasion, Himmler recited to other people the following passage from the Gita, in which Krishna says to Arjuna: Every time when man forgets the sense of justice and truth, and when injustice reigns in the world I become born anew, that is the law.
Having read these words, Himmler added: This passage is directly related to our Führer. He did arise during the time when the Germans were in the deepest distress and when they did not see any way out. He belongs to these great figures of light (Lichtgestalt). One of the greatest figures of light reincarnated himself in our Führer.
Based on this statement, one can assume that perhaps Himmler viewed Hitler as a manifestation of Krishna and himself as Arjuna.
IB TIMES: Did Himmler envision the SS as a modern version of the ancient Kshatriya Hindu warrior caste?
MR. & MRS. TRIMONDI: This was really a sensation what we discovered in the archives: In 1925, shortly before he became a member of Hitler’s SS, Himmler read about the Freemasons and anti-masons in Their Fight for World Domination by an Austrian writer named Franz Haiser.
Strange as it may sound, the greater part of the book deals not with Freemasons but with the Indian caste system. Haiser praised this caste system as the most reasonable and the most sophisticated social model. He also glorified the Kshatriya (the Warrior) caste as the natural leaders in society. Haiser also compared the decline of the caste system in India to the decadence of Western culture. As a way to prevent this decline, the author proposed the creation of a well-organized, international and racially pure elite order of warriors that he called the All Aryan Union (all-arischer Bund). In addition, he advocated for an all-Aryan world revolution and for the emancipation of the Kshatriya from above.
Haiser derided the so-called lower races as crows, rats, sparrows, louses and fleas and also endorsed the reintroduction of slavery. He envisioned a society in which the Kshatriyas would not be permitted to mingle with other races. In addition, he drew attention to the Hindu cosmology of global eras: the Yugas, the Holy Trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, and the Indian law code of Manu, which he interpreted as a guidebook on how to keep the Aryan race pure.
After familiarizing himself with all these ideas Himmler wrote excitedly in his diary: A wonderful book […] I agree with most of it. One needs such books. They encourage those who instinctively feel what is right and what is wrong, but do not dare to think about it because of their false education. Kshatriya caste [is what] we have to be. This is the salvation.
Two years later, in 1927, as a twenty-seven year old man, Himmler already came to occupy the high position of the Stellvertretender Reichsführer SS.
Much of the agenda articulated in Haiser’s book could be found later in the ideology and the structure of the Black Order.
Himmler was also familiar with the writings of the Italian philosopher Julius Evola, a fascist prophet of the Kshatriya ideology.
IB TIMES: Is it true that Himmler always kept a copy of the Bhagavad Gita in his pocket and read passages from it every night?
MR. & MRS. TRIMONDI: Yes, this is true. In fact, it has been well documented by Felix Kersten, his Finnish masseur, that Himmler liked to indulge in philosophical monologues in his presence. The Reichsführer SS called the Gita a high Aryan Canto. Kersten also reported that Himmler read the Vedas, especially the Rig-Veda, the speeches of the Buddha, and the Buddhist Visuddhi-magga. Himmler made frequent references to karma, especially when he was talking about providence.
He also believed in reincarnation: With one life life is not finished. What good and bad deeds a man has done has an effect on his next life as his karma.
IB TIMES: Discuss Himmler’s fascination with Yoga and what he sought to gain from this practice.
MR. & MRS. TRIMONDI: The practice of Yoga was already well known during the Nazi regime — but we do not know whether Himmler did Yoga exercises or not. We only know about his plan to introduce meditation practices and spiritual retreats for the elite members of the SS in a special center located at Wewelsburg, a medieval castle.
Himmler confided to Felix Kersten: I admire the wisdom of the founders of Indian religion, who required that their kings and dignitaries retreat every year to monasteries for meditation. We will later create similar institutions.
IB TIMES: Did Himmler (and other top Nazi leaders) use the Bhagavad Gita as a kind of an ideological blueprint for the Holocaust and World War II?
MR. & MRS. TRIMONDI: Several historians believe that Himmler’s notorious Posener Speech in front of a hundred SS officers in 1943 was highly influenced by the spirit of the Bhagavad Gita.
In this particular speech, Himmler stressed that if the destiny of the nation called for it, every member of the SS had a duty to conduct drastic measures brutally and without pity and without regard to blood relationship and friendship.
This utterance brought to mind the instructions Krishna issued to Arjuna, demanding from the latter to attack his kin and kill them. In the same speech, after mentioning unworthy human beings who were going to be murdered (an indirect reference to the Jews), Himmler assured his listeners: These deeds do not inflict any damage on our inner selves, our souls, and our characters. In the same manner, Krishna assured Arjuna that the latter acts would not pollute his higher self by completing his murderous duty: Whatever I do, it cannot pollute me. […] The one who merges with me, frees himself from everything, and he is not bound by his deeds
Thus, Himmler encouraged the members of the SS to conduct their murderous acts, unemotionally in a cool detached manner just as Krishna instructed the charioteer Arjuna.
On the whole, the Posener Speech was focused on the spiritual dimensions of war and the conduct of the warrior, which is the chief element of the Kshatriya philosophy of Hinduism. The German diplomat and undercover U.S. agent in Nazi-Germany Hans Bernd Gisevius concluded: There is no doubt that for Himmler the Bhagavad Gita is the book of the Great Absolution.
IB TIMES: During the war, there was a community of Indian nationalists living in Berlin. The most prominent among them was Subhash Chandra Bose, who met with many top Nazi officials, including Himmler, Ribbentrop, Goering and Hitler himself. Is it true that Himmler was generally interested in helping Bose to achieve independence for India, whereas most of the other German leaders only used Bose in a ploy to stoke anti-British sentiments in India?
MR. & MRS. TRIMONDI: Unlike other Nazi leaders, Himmler and the curator of the SS-Ahnenerbe Walther Wüst, provided some ideological support to Bose’s political agenda. Wüst spoke about the need to work closely with Bose and contemplated holding a German-Indian congress of Indian scholars representing both countries. Yet, except for these utterances, neither Himmler nor Wüst did anything specific to support Indian nationalists.
Bose delivered an emotional speech for British soldiers of Indian origin, who were captured by the Wehrmacht in Africa and who were held in Germany as POWs. He said to them: Hitler is your friend. He is the friend of the Aryans, and you will return to India as the liberators of your motherland. The Indian Kshatriya legacy was not the only Oriental culture that attracted Himmler and his ideologists when they were working to construct their racist Indo-Aryan warrior religion.
In addition to Hinduism, the Reichsführer SS was also interested in the militant Samurai Zen philosophy of Japan as well as the occult scriptures of Tibetan Buddhism. Indeed, one of the goals of the famous SS expedition to Tibet headed by Ernst Schaefer in 1939 was to find in the Lamaist monasteries scrolls containing secret Aryan teachings.

You are most welcome to read and understand the Quran, the divine message to all of mankind. There are 4 divine revelations sent to mankind from time to time. They were sent to Prophets David, Moses, Jesus and the Final was revealed to Prophet Muhammed (May peace be upon them all). Each new revelation superseded the previous, and thus The Quran being the Final, is the only revelation which everyone (all of mankind) should follow and all Muslims accept this to be their Book. It confirms many events in the Christian beliefs, such as the miraculous birth of Jesus (PBUH) to Mary, i.e. without any male intervention. Twenty prophets are mentioned by name, whilst it is revealed 124,000 prophets were sent from time to time to keep mankind from going astray. When reading the Quran (at least the translation so you understand the message), it really moves you since you are in direct communion with God Himself. That alone has converted many Quranic researchers, scientists and theologians interested in learning what is the truth. Why are we here? What is our purpose in life? Where to from here?

I am no muslim / October 2, 2013
Marwan,
True, PBUH Muhammad had accepted many a Abraham’s God’s messengers who were all Jews as prophets. PBHU Muhammad had denied the Christian God Jesus is the ‘Son of God’. That means, PBHU Muhammad has ridiculed Jesus and denyed the single pillar that the entire Christianity stands upon. That is, the God came to this world as Jesus [son of God] to pay for the sin that Adam eating the forbidden fruit on behalf of all humans.
What nonsense you’re talking, neither Jews nor Christians ever accepted that Muhammad is prophet of Abraham’s God. Even at the time of Muhammad, Jews and Christians accused PBUH Muhammad is an impostor who plagiarized their scriptures.
/
Marwan / October 4, 2013
It is true you are no Muslim since our Prophet Muhammed (PBOH) came into this world 620 years after Jesus (PBOH) was saved from the Cross and taken up to heaven, so that he will come again into the world as a follower of Prophet Muhammed (PBOH) – to put the record straight. If you are Christian, you are still stuck in a religion of a bygone era, whose main architects are Mathew, Mark, Luke and John. Read the Bible and see who authored it. It says the words ‘According to’ before the the said names. Therefore they are not the words of God Himself, but the words of those ‘supposedly’ close to Jesus (PBOH), in other words, hid disciples who actually forsook him and fled when he appeared to them after his ‘cruci-fiction’. Jesus (PBOH) was in hiding to escape the punishment and suddenly appeared to his disciples as he was hungry and wanting to break bread (hunger is not an attribute of ghosts, but of actual human need, which means he had not died on the cross), but they refused to believe in him, and (according to your own Bible) refused to believe he was real, and claimed him to be the ghost of Jesus (PBOH?).
The Quran is very clear and unequivocal about this incident, and the divine revelation says ‘He (Jesus PBOH) did not die on the Cross’, but it was made to appear so. God never makes His chosen Messenger to suffer the ignominy of a punishment so horrendous, as pardon for the sins of others as they believe so’. We Muslims believe this to be true, and we respect Jesus (PBOH) as a true Prophet of God, born miraculously, left the earth and is now in heaven, will return to earth again, and will die like the rest of usas an Ummath of Prophet Muhammed (PBOH). You can die only once in a lifetime, as such, if he did die on the cross as you proclaim, then he cannot die again in his second coming.
As for your allegations of Prophet Muhammed (PBOH) being an imposter who plagiarized your Scriptures, you need to be a scholar in comparative religion, before you come to such conclusions. So for now, pls save your breath, and for us, your kinky ideas. We know our religion, enough to beat a bible thump.

History has shown which are the most dangerous religions, Islam & Christianity with their fanaticism, forcible conversions, bigoted beliefs etc. Ofcourse there is nothing wrong with the essential spiritual teachings of any religion but history has shown the bigoted followers of these two religions have been responsible for more violence than any other religion or ideology for that matter.

Sensei Kinza / October 2, 2013
History is always dumb. The lies were made to repeat many million times over years & centuries.
Islam was a prime target of the previous mythological idol worshiping tribes that tried many methods and even conducted wars to destroy Islam in its initial stages and throughout its renaissance and into the 21st century.
Look at the efforts of the West, Europe, East, and almost all the others who see Islam as a threat are spending millions of Dollars targeting it in order to at least contain the spread of its message across the world.
Buddhism & Hinduism are not peaceful religions as many falsely claims to be. The points we have exposed above previous comments will show the proofs.
Your claim “History has shown which are the most dangerous religions, Islam & Christianity with their fanaticism, forcible conversions, bigoted beliefs etc.” is really funny….
What is it when you say “A Woman and a Lion had sex and begotten a Lion Man called Sinhabahu”….???? Ha,ha,ha….isn’t it stupid? How scientific is that????
For centuries…you guys (Sinhala Buddhists and Hindu Tamils are killing each other….Isn’t it the Mahawansa Fanaticism that is driving the killings????
All of your or most of your “True Buddhists” have nothing but hatred and are publicly speaking communal hatred, in the advanced stage of the human advancement age….defending a MYTH called RACE????? What is RACE? How do you prove your race biologically with scientific facts???? Isn’t it stupid??
Hitler tried with Tibetan Buddhist monks to find the “ARYAN MYTH” to prove it by scientific reasons….and failed…isn’t that stupid?
Are not you guys still following these debunked ideas in this 21st century????? and acting upon it committing crimes against humanity, and the people who committed those crimes are held in high esteem by your stupid religious hierarchy as HEROES????
Anagarika Adharmapala is well known racist, and he becomes your religion’s revivalist???? A Racist not a humanist like Lord Buddha is your venerated leader???? What wrong with you guys????
I think you guys are smoking something really bad.

Patriot / September 30, 2013
Thomas Jefferson was the US ambassador in France. He and John Adams,then the American ambassador to Britain met with the ambassador from Tripoli (a North African Muslim pirate country at the time). They had no previous interactions. But Jefferson and Adams sat down for talks and asked him why Tripoli attacked US ships? Why attack the United States? Why did they choose America as an enemy?
Muslim ambassador was very straightforward. He said, basically, “That’s what we do. We are commanded to do so by Allah.” Jefferson later wrote that the Tripoli ambassador told him, “It was written in their Koran that all nations which had not acknowledged the Prophet were sinners, whom it was the right and duty of the faithful to plunder and enslave; and that every mussulman (Muslim) who was slain in this warfare was sure to go to Paradise.”
Completely taken aback by this revelation, Jefferson decided to look into the matter further, and did what everyone should do: He read the Koran. He learned what Islam was about.
Not long after Thomas Jefferson was inaugurated as president of the US in 1801, he stopped paying Muslims millions of dollars as ransom and tribute for the safe passage of American ships or the return of American hostages. Jefferson declared “America will spend millions for defense not but not pay ransom”. Then he informed Congress and dispatched a group of frigates to defend American interests in the Mediterranean. So, it is Jefferson who started the first Barbary War.
Jefferson is an anti-clerical Christian or deist at best. In p.453 of ‘Thomas Jefferson, an Intimate History’ by Fawn M. Brodie, (1974, W.W Norton and Co. Inc. New York) says, “I trust that there is not a young man now living in the United States who will die as a Unitarian.” Hence it is absurd if anyone thinks Jefferson i a religious man or kept the Koran for inspiration or veneration.
Thomas Jefferson was a “visionary” who is wise enough to read and learn about his enemies from their own Muslim book of jihad. I doubt very much Jefferson was ever a religious man.

I can’t help but notice that CT holds a candle for stories favouring Islam in a positive light. The first one was about that TV interview with a sensational but foundation-less man who had wild theories, the second was when CT chose to ignore the blatant burning of churches and violence against Christians in Egypt and now the third – and yes in between, so many pro-Islam stories. All for balanced and fair reporting but pardon me for asking, why the tilt Al-Jazeera style? I don’t mean to be prejudiced but when stories get tilted your site loses credibility. I hope you have the courage and the conviction to carry my comment. Thank you

Lankan / October 1, 2013
Really ? Didn’t you see the Jihadists at work in Kenya and Nigeria, cutting off the body parts of their victims and torturing them? Murdering a shopping mall full of innocent victims, women men and children. What about the churches set on fire and Christians killed in Egypt and Syria? Or maybe like CT, you choose to ignore the atrocities of the Jihadists. True Moslems would express their shock and contempt for such actions but of course, that doesn’t apply to Moslems I guess.
/
Sensei Kinza / October 1, 2013
Lankan (The dumb ass)
Did you go there check for yourselves if they are Moslems and you know their full details and history???? Did you check them? NO!!!
Do you know that the US under cover agents have covert operations to conduct attacks and blame it on the Moslems or any group that the US sees as their enemies.
Half of the Jihadists are JHU members. They’re hired by the US to dress up like Moslems and conduct raids on innocents. Like what ChamPuka Runner-Huka (JHU) who said recently that he’s going to massacre the Tamils again like the Nandikadal. Such a terrorists are the ones get contracts from the US to conduct covert operations disguising as Moslems. The Ballu Sena dogs used their members to wear a Muslim cap and garb to appear on Anti Muslim websites to defame Islam.
So, What you saw in Kenya attack are Buddhists appearing as Moslem Jihadists. Because, the anti Moslem gangs want to use any pretxt to attack Islam, right.
Al qaeda was first invented by the US and then promoted them to fight for the US in Afghanistan. Read history.
You are just another dumb ass to believe the Freemasonic Media which is a benefaciary of the Military Industrial Complex of the US & Europe which is known for the Wars & Destruction we see in the world in 20th & 21st Century.

Amarasiri / October 1, 2013
Sensi Kinsa,
If the above are really true, it looks like
Atheists and Buddhists are the biggest killers.
However, just because somebody was born a Buddhist, does it mean that he is a Buddhist?
Are they Buddhists or Atheists?
Do they follow the teachings of Buddha or that of Mara?
Are they Muslims or Wahhabis?
Do they follow the teachings of Islam or that of Satan?
Please differentiate.
/
Sensei Kinza / October 2, 2013
So, tell me who is a Buddhist?
Is Anagarika a Buddhist? Then, why did he abused other religions and communities? Is it not his speeches and rhetoric the Racists are using to attack others with a prejudice in their minds?
If he’s not a Buddhist, and not even Born a Buddhist, so he must be a satan, right? Because, as one of the most respected teacher of the truth, LORD BUDDHA never even in his wildest dreams would permit such a person to call himself a Buddhist. Am I right?
Then, who ELLEY GUNAWANSA, GNANASARA, JHU, BBS, RAVANAS are? Are they Buddhists? You tell me….I will take it from there onwards…WHAT ABOUT WIRATHU? Is he following the true Buddhism? How can he promote killing of human beings?????
Looks like all your Heroes and Buddhist leaders are wild racists…right?
Look Buddhism is very much Atheism according to its teachings. It does not believe in a creator GOD. It very much alligns to DARWINISM. Then what is it?
Muslims do have Satanic touch in all the deviated sects. That’s why it was told in the Prophetic traditions that out 72 groups in the end times, only one group will be the true followers. The rest follows the Satan. The misguided lot.
Christians already have too many sects and denominations with many versions of the Bible. But, they will come to the truth when Jesus returns to earth.
I don’t blame all the Buddhists, but majority of the Buddhists are so helpless, that the true message of the GREAT LORD BUDDHA has been distorted and hijacked by the Satanic forces and have done immense damage.
/
Sensei Kinza / October 2, 2013
Dear Amarasiri,
Your above: “If the above are really true, it looks like
Atheists and Buddhists are the biggest killers.”
YES!!!!
By the same argument, how anybody blame another religion for its worst name sake follower’s conduct????
Everything the BBS gangs made recently was to attack the religions (Islam & Christianity).
But, one commendable outcome is, many Sinhala Buddhist people have rejected their (BBS) world view. That’s a turning point in the defense of true Buddhism that we all like to see blossoming.

None of those named killed in the name of religion but did so for other reasons. In fact, they were not affiliated to any religion. Even in Sri Lanka it was not in the name of religion but in the name of ethnicity, which is different. Throughout history, it has been mostly the Christians and Muslims who have killed in the name of religion and the names and numbers are too numerous to mention.

Lankan / October 1, 2013
Sensei aka Jihadist in our midst. You are forgiven for your outburst – that’s all you are capable of as your brethren in rest of the world have shown. You and your kind do not believe in exchange of ideas and want the entire world to only see your viewpoint.

Sensei Kinza / October 2, 2013
Lankan….
See the mistake you guys are making repeatedly. You are calling me Jihadist. How can you???? Do you really know who I am??? No!
Then why calling me with such a name? Naughty Boy!!!!
Did I call anyone to kill anyone? Or have said anywhere that I want to kill anyone or I am subscribing in any way of any anti social conduct???NO!!!!
All I am saying is that to STOP RACISM!!!! Stop using Lord Buddha’s Pure teaching and adulterating it with RACISM, MURDER and MAYHEM!!!!!
Put a stop to your PREJUDICES and your blind pride in a myth call RACE..
SUPPORT HUMAN RACE!!!!! Be a Buddha (an enlightened one) yourself and guide us also, in that light to see and feel the absolute truth.

‘Truly Aney, It must be hard when the truth be told. If it is wrong, you are free to provide evidence to dispute or challenge these claims. But don’t speak to us about spewing hatred or anger. Is it anything like the onslaught on Muslims by BBS on public platforms, giving twisted and warped connotations to Muslim practices on eating and dress code? What could be worse than that?
/
Sensei Kinza / October 2, 2013
Thank you Gaje,
I don’t hate anyone or anything but RACISM>>>>
If Racism is promoted by any means or under any label, then it must be confronted. Because, if not we are going to see bloodshed like we saw in World Wars (1 & 2) which was indeed a religious war designed by the NAZI’s, which was a inspiration Hitler got from Blavatsky’s evil writings.
Blavatsky was Buddhist right? She came Sri Lanka with Olcott to spread their hate of other religions, right? Anagarika was a disciple of Blavatsky right? And he was an outspoken racist? right or wrong????
LORD BUDDHA is a Great teacher. His true words will surface once again in world, once all these racists have died with their hate. Like what happened to Hitler. Hitler was considered by the Aryanism promoters as the Maitreya….pls read the historical facts about the Nazis.
So, there can’t be more insults than these racists/satans who call themselves as BUDDHISTS to the Great Teacher of Humanity LORD BUDDHA.
Pls do a reverse thinking into the conducts of those who call themselves as Buddhists and their murderous contribution to the evil history o the mankind.

Why can’t you eat human beings???? Be a carnivore of human flesh.
Just because you see something moving on earth, does not mean you go an eat it. There’s a standard for everything.
You can’t marry your own mother. Just because she is a woman and could be married, cannot be married.
Even when you relieve (call of nature), you can’t shit on a Dinner Table with full of dishes spread on it. There’s a decent way and method to dispose the yellow stuff.
Methods and standards are the higher levels to judge a person’s civilized conducts.

The basic message of Islam is the same message of all the previous prophets: worship God alone and avoid worshipping anything besides Him, whether it is a person, place or thing, directly or indirectly. This basic principle of Monotheism is contained in the opening chapter of the Quran, known as Surah al-Fatiha, verse 4: “You alone we worship and from you alone we do seek help.” In (4:37), Allah also said: “Worship Allah and do not associate partners with Him.” Muhammed, the last Prophet (mercy and peace of Allah be upon him) is reported to have said: “Anyone who says: There is no god worthy of worship except Allah, and dies holding that belief will be granted paradise.”
The testimony of our religion lies in our character. Are we patient when inflicted with adversity? Are we truthful in our dealings? Are we faithful in all of our relationships with Allah, with ourselves, and with our fellow humans? These are the types of questions we need to be asking; for they are the types of questions that push us towards the attainment of higher moral and ethical standards.

Booklets from a subsidiary of the German government’s Ministry for Family Affairs encourage parents to sexually massage their children as young as 1 to 3 years of age. Two 40-page booklets entitled “Love, Body and Playing Doctor” by the German Federal Health Education Center (Bundeszentrale für gesundheitliche Aufklärung – BZgA) are aimed at parents – the first addressing children from 1-3 and the other children from 4-6 years of age.
“Fathers do not devote enough attention to the clitoris and vagina of their daughters. Their caresses too seldom pertain to these regions, while this is the only way the girls can develop a sense of pride in their sex,” reads the booklet regarding 1-3 year olds. The authors rationalize, “The child touches all parts of their father’s body, sometimes arousing him. The father should do the same.

“The Church regards with esteem also the Moslems.
The starting point for all Catholic leaders is certainly the Vatican II document, ‘Nostra Aetate”, dated October 28, 1965, and where it specifically refers to Islam in point 3:
“The Church regards with esteem also the Moslems. They adore the one God, living and subsisting in Himself; merciful and all- powerful, the Creator of heaven and earth,(5) who has spoken to men; they take pains to submit wholeheartedly to even His inscrutable decrees, just as Abraham, with whom the faith of Islam takes pleasure in linking itself, submitted to God. Though they do not acknowledge Jesus as God, they revere Him as a prophet. They also honor Mary, His virgin Mother; at times they even call on her with devotion. In addition, they await the day of judgment when God will render their deserts to all those who have been raised up from the dead. Finally, they value the moral life and worship God especially through prayer, almsgiving and fasting. Since in the course of centuries not a few quarrels and hostilities have arisen between Christians and Moslems, this sacred synod urges all to forget the past and to work sincerely for mutual understanding and to preserve as well as to promote together for the benefit of all mankind social justice and moral welfare, as well as peace and freedom”
