Q: Is it written in Islamic books to kill all the kafirs or some Muslim leaders formula to rule over all?
some Muslim leaders making a unjustified formula to lead and rule other people as well as people of their own religion to create an enmity in the name of religion
A: Dear Ashish,
There is always controversy in all religion books either on one or other subject. No religion says to kill the innocent, who is kaffir, it is our own perception.
there are many muslim sufies, they never said to kill anyone, rather they wanted to let us know love.
Sheikh Farid said that a man should do any thing, any crime in his life but before making any crime, he should think, is not it breaking/ paining the heart of any one, if with our any act, any one heart pains or breaks we should not do, in that case if any one kills while saying Kafir, is not it heart breaking, then where is it good?
This killing are done only by the persons who are fanatics and uneducated, let us do something towards our community, nation, educate the uneducated persons, it will bring revolution and the day will come there will not be any killing

Q: do you belive that muslim are terrorist?did you read something about islam from islamic books?
did you go to mosk yo ask about islam
A: i was under the impression that islam was a peaceful religion
this is of course unless you are not a muslim
or in many cases, even if you are - heaven help you if you want to practice another faith, or are a woman that offends the males in her family, or refuses to marry someone her family have 'chosen' for her
there are muslims being killed by muslims every day of the week in iraq - they are most certainly terrorists
those muslims that killed people in UK were not under attack - they were terrorists
it would appear that they are also incredibly sensitive and see everything as an attack to justify their violence
remember the protests calling for murder because of some cartoons......or the naming of a teddy bear

Q: Why don't other religions accept that the Islamic holy books have been tampered with except for the qur'an?
It all makes sense when you look at the islamic view, but the only other holy book ive read is the bible and its all full of shortened/changed stories from the qur'an. Im no expert and im not trying to offend anyone(sorry if i do in any way) i'd just like to know the answer?
no1z actually answering my question!
A: I think the main reason is that followers of other religions do not really understand the great work that has been done to preserve the Quran in its original form. This work has not happened anywhere else and with no other book.
Before going on, I need to set something straight. There is NO other holy Islamic book other than the Quran. There are the books of "Hadith" (Prophetic traditions) which are more of documentary compilations of the sayings of Prophet Muhammad. Some of them are very authentic, and others are less authentic, but nobody can call them "holy books".
The Quran was revealed during 23 years in the life of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. During these years, it was conserved in 2 ways: a) Oral, through memorizing, which many of the Prophet's companions did, and b) written, on the available materials like skin, paper, palm leaves, etc.
Shortly after the death of Prophet Muhammad, the Quran was compiled in one copy, and then it was reviewed by a committee of credible reciters who had the whole Quran by memory, just to double-check. The Quran was written in a way that tolerated 7 different Arabian accents, which some people might think that they are variations on the Holy text, but in reality, they are just recitations in different Arabic accents of the Arabian tribes. 7 copies were made and were distributed to the rest of the Muslim world, and out of these 7 copies, more copies were made.
The 2 methods of spreading and conserving the Quran continue to go hand in hand. There is no possibility for changing the text of the Quran because any new print is always reviewed by committees of qualified reciters. That's why it's the same Quran everywhere in the world.
The Quran continues to be the same since the very first day it was revealed, and this characteristic is exclusively for the Quran. Other holy books were tampered with, and it is a fact that is known by the scholars of the very same religions that believe in these books. For example, the "Gospels" forming the "New Testament" were actually selected by VOTING in the 3rd century. The Old Testament as we have it today was compiled over centuries and it was also translated from an "original" that no longer exists. That's why every few years, there is a new "Edition" of the Bible because it's still being reviewed and re-reviewed, and even when there are changes to be introduced, they will be VOTED by specialists. Frankly and with due respect I don't expect a lot from a system based on human voting, especially that we all know how some "voting" can be changed or fabricated if necessary.
Finally about the "stories" int he Quran and the Bible. One needs to understand that the Quran was never intended as a book of history. It's a book of spiritual education, of morality, and of law. The stories mentioned in the Quran are mentioned for the lessons to be taken from them, not as historical documents. The Quran does not talk about exact dates or numbers, and in this it differs a lot from the Bible.
The similarities between the stories in the Bible and the Quran are simply because both originally come from the same source: God. Aside from that, there are differences, and this is normal because across centuries the Bible changed while the Quran didn't.
Peace-salaam.
