<b>al-Hamdullillah wa Salaatu wa Salaam ala Rasoolullah</b>
This is an intresting article, Yet there are many problems which are therein. Firstly. You say "<b>You’ll be proud to know what Islam says about coexistence. "The first thing Islam teaches us is that it is not shameful that we are so different"! [These are two different matters] Ahki</b>. It is a universal law [The shari'ah which is the universal Law] Has covered the issues of treatment of non-Muslims When they are the majority and the Minority-Two seperate matters] "since it is in our nature to be so different." <b>The fitra is ignorance and opressive than Allah removes these with a person submiting </b>" The greatest creation made by Allah is the human mind." I Say " The greatest cration of Allah is the Heavens, and in some narrations the Throne of Allah." This is the Islamic view. My advice to you brother...
There has to be in your statements and rendering of the Book of Allah some details. The best way to do this is stick to the Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad, than the scholars of this Deen, from the Companions then the later ones like ibn katheer etc. Also you took some ayats out of context. Please consider the asbaabul Nozool of the Ayaats of the Qur'an when mentioning matters as important as this. the word co-exsists is needed for people or Nations who are intolerant and Opressive to others who are different in their societies. Islam has the best example of this . The Best example of brotherhood, and the best manners of dealing with the creation, But these issues have details which you unfortunatly failed to mention. these matters are refered back to Ahlul Ilm..... All too often and your article seems to hint at the same thing{the The Muslim Nation should leave their identity or cooperate with non-muslims in a spirt of inter-faith and friendship etc. The Christians and Jews are mentioned in the Qur'an. than there are the other groups of disbelievers, all should realize that we Humans all come from two parents Adam and Eve. and the rulings are very clear about transgreesing Allah limits on earth. for verily we all will return to Him(swt) Allah mentions three types of groups in his book: The Believers, the Disbelievers, and the hypocrites. and then Allah mentions two groups elsewhere in the Qur'an.. Hizbul-Allah and hizbul Shaytaan. Than there are rulings which are specific to thoes Muslims in lands which they are the majority and the Minority. <b>Sometimes called the Mekkan and Madeenan periods</b>. I'm affriad that this article may be mis-leading due to the love of the Christian person who commented on it... And Allah says <b>"They(the disbelievers) will never be pleased with you until you follow their way(milah)</b> ... and this person is a clear Kaafir who fights against Islam in this room....Nevertheless. I will suggest reading Fataawa regarding Muslim Minorrities living in non-muslim lands
Also an excellent book entitled Sacred Freedom which can be ordered here:Sacred Freedom
I would suggest that the non-muslim guest section be eliminated from all Muslim room such as this one, because it seems to only attract the most ardent opposers of the dawah. and very few are sincerely seeking to learn about Islam rather the Kaafir person should be refered to other sites which are designed to convey and not share views and beliefs... We Muslims already know what these people are like when they get to spread their kufr. Theres no benefit in going back and forth with the likes of these people. when the muslims themselves need to be educated. A mis-guided muslim can cause great harm to the dawah if they're ignorant about issues as these.
