Why do u all think that only Islam is under serious attack? The Messenger is always under serious attack? Did u see sites specially built against hinduism, Buddism, Judasim or other? did u see anti Budda or Hindu bishops articles? No there isnt. Well why? is the main question u need to answer?
Another important point before I leave off, why do u think there is heavens and hell? why do u think even there are ranks in heavens? why everybody expects Muslims to be angles? Only angels do not commit sins.
Allah Says:\"
\"and kill not anyone whom Allâh has forbidden, except for a just cause (according to Islâmic law). \" (Quran 6:151)
kill not anyone without specifying a Muslim or non Muslim, this is what Quran say. The rule is there, u break it, u receive your punishment. Period
All religion is under attack from many sources, however Islam has messengers, on it's behalf (whether right or wrong), that cut off civilian heads on TV and scream about Allah. This act will be talked about for a long time.
I understand this - but look at the member population on this site. The pure brutality that this act was done in is enough to override many peoples' previous judgement of muslims. Had this guy been killed while walking down the street, that would be just a terrorist.But because he was beheaded, while still alive, on television while the executioners claimed it was for Islam, puts a serious mark on things.
