To all good Muslims who seek peace,
but who don’t want to be dominated by the West, I say, peace to you. Your faith is a precious and mysterious thing. Not all Christians hate you. Not all want to control or convert the world. We’re not all filled with fear. We serve the same God. One day we will all be one. Without war, propaganda or preaching.
And for those who have no faith, this post is not meant as a religious rally, to exclude anyone. It’s just an expression of religious tolerance. You can vent your anger. You can express the bitterness you might feel at the hypocrisy of religion, or at the absurdity of God. It will not offend him, or me.

I see.
There are a lot of random posts here, lol.
ha ha…so, than it has become random. ;)
wow, that recent post which you were referring to has allot of posts, almost became a religious fistfight(however I did not read every post, I just skimmed across the surface)…
Great Post, Sans. I m a Muslim. And u know wt? Muslims also have the same faith as, u think, Christians have. We have a difference in our beliefs.
We also believe that Christians are our brothers. We also dont want to convert all the christians. We have a problem from those who r against Islam, Who talk against Islam. We all love Peace. (PEACE Everywhere)
I had many arguments regarding religions on this site but of no result.
~PEACE 4 ALL~
QASH
I’ve never really gotten the impression from any Muslim friends that they thought I secretly hated them because I was Christian, but I suppose it’s possible they had that fear somewhere deep down.

Most posts that deal with religion here become arguments. There are exceptions. I’m hoping this is one.

I certainly don’t speak for all Christians. I don’t believe that everything in the Bible is true. But most Christians do take the instructions in the Bible to convert the world quite literally. I think this is the Achilles heel of Christianity–the threat of hell if you do not believe, and the complacency of turning grace into a license to be selfish.

Interpretation?
I feel like there’s a very small percentage of any population that does not wish peace on others… VERY few. I know that I have nothing against anyone until they give me something to dislike. And that something is NEVER race, religion, or background. I may not be religious, but from what I’ve learned in school regarding various religions, it seems as if everyone’s praying to the same God, whether they refer to him by that name, or another. And they preach the same thing - Respect, Kindness, Faith.. I completely support anyone’s religious beliefs, and frown upon anyone who hides behind their beliefs, saying that it is their beliefs that tell them to hate others. That’s not what religion is about.
Yep. Its Arabic and He said. Assalam o Alaikum (Hello in English)

Note: If I just a salami sandwich, please hold the onions and excuse my ignorance of the language. Goodnight guys, I need to sleep.
**ordered a salami sandwich**
ha ha, I also need sleep…but a salami sandwich is sounding pretty good now that you mention it…peace all.
good post
Random, but for those who can read Arabic: Does it hurt your eyes to read the characters that small? Arabic seems to be always written in tiny, condensed print. I can’t make my eyes focus enough to see individual marks without them becoming sore.
Sorry, sansceriph, I’m too tired to concentrate on reading right now… but anything to do with peace, be it interracial, interreligious, or international is great with me!
I respect the objectivity and unity you promote, as well as your open attitude. I am one of those non-believers who sometimes might’ve been inclined to vent but your off-putting kindness and openess has left me with only respect. Thankyou.
This post is awesome , “Alsalamu Alekom” means peace on you .
Peace on you all :)
thnx sans :P .. its a very nice post of u…
that was very nice of you to have that in mind and type it out. and that is how i feel also. but it is not that our hate is soo overated its just that hollywood is well the educational system which causes alot of us to categorize people in certain groups. we do not judge them by their individual qualities but by their grouping.
Thanks for the invite San.I have very little knowledge of religion in general,but I have learned, just recently on here from friends that are of Muslim faith that Chrisianity is Mostly the same and although I love everyone,I welcome their faith with open arms since Im a Christian and to me Christianity is’ Love’so I see Muslim as being ‘Love’ too.I hope that makes sense.lol
Excellent post, Sansceriph!!! I totally believe in religious tolerance and rather resent those who go around trying to push their religion on others. Let’s just love and respect each other!!
GOD bless each and every one of you!
Well, thanks for the invite. I have nothing to add. Just a beautiful post with such sweet replies from all. It just makes me smile. :)
You’ve made my day, Sansceriph.
I pray I will never do a thing I can’t do without either laughter in my heart or sanctity in my soul, and mostly, I pray I can do both.
I pray the same for everyone.
All I know is this: we were all born, and we are all dying.
To your still, small voice, I hope to always remain reverant, and you to mine. Yet I also hope we can giggle a bit because that is the surest sign that all is well.
Shibboleth and Assalamu ‘Alaikum and peace be with you
More importantly (to lil ol me anyway), however it is translated, may arrogant tongues not prevail.
Hey yeah…Arabic is written right to left. As with many other languages, it is pretty easy to read once you figure the alphabet. Thanks for this post Sans!
Cookie Xx

Good on you !!!!!
Sans closed this post.
Sans reopened this post.
well the only problem here is what governments in Europe and America do.. they made the whole world think that being a Muslim is being a terrorist and made a very strong relationship between Islam and terrorism in peoples minds, Muslims don’t want to hurt anybody they just want to live in peace.
Here in Egypt there is no difference between Muslims and Christians we all live as one and ofcourse nobody here thinks that Muslims are terrorists :D
thanks allot for the topic, I find it very important and beautiful.
