Now-a-days every where muslims are being criticized for terrorism.Actual fact is that our religion is a religion of peace.Islam protect human life by saying that if someone kills an innocent it is as he kills all the humanity.
Howbout Christianity or Buddhism, where they say not to kill at all?
sometimes its better if the wrong-doer is punished instead of letting him/her run free....
will you punish those who (in yr words) misinterprate Islam for killing others on the name of Islam.

so the crusadrers were going against the word of god? or the nazis? or the 100 year war between Uk and France..both christian countries.
Dear Fraudia, is there any criteria to establish whose interpretation is not misinterpretation.
Law of blesphemy, I understand is there to threaten people, but what punishment is for misinterpretation?
And pls inform if anyone is punished for misinterpretation all along 14 ceturies.
(as per one PTV discussion) Saddam of Iraq has killed 28 lacs of Iraqi Muslims including kurds and now I can challenge that very soon he will give a call of Jihad to all Muslims against America……..
Such a call of Jihad by Saddam is interpretation or misinterpretation of Islam?

Not that I know off, aside from the council of scholars. But thats the same issue poresent everywhere otherwise there will not be sects in pretty much all other religions too, the sects came about due to the different interpretations of religion and the texts.
*And pls inform if anyone is punished for misinterpretation all along 14 ceturies. *
I am certain that these have been cases where people have been punished due to their actions based on misinterpreting and misusing religion. for starters people who belong to sectarian extremist groups have faced the law. There may be other examples too but I will have to reserach, or someone here who is more knowledgeable can add for our knowledge.

Neither Pope Pious III was a Muslim, nor Hitler, nor Napolean, Nor Pol Pot, Nor Ghengis Khan, nor the Japanese, nor the Chinese e.t.c....All either Christians or Buddhists but carried out mass massacres...Now, name one murderous Muslim leader...:)
I don't know if you can call it religion of peace any more. Look at all the violence in the Islamic world today!

Yes. The crusades, halocaust and anything else wasn't about Christianity, they were about Humanity, greed and hate.

Aurangazeb: murdered his own family members, systematic genocide of higher caste hindus, assassination of sikh gurus and their relatives.
Yahya Khan, Tikka Khan: genocide of 1,247,000 bengalis in 1971.

Noble men and kings they were...Even Hindu ( Not BJP or Shiv Senha)history teaches the era of the Mughals as being a time of 'renaissance' for India...After all, what was India before the Mughals? Nothing more than caste killing, wife burning, dhoti clad race of people without a culture...The culture that was in India before the Muslims is quite apparent on the walls of the caves of Ajanta...As for Mahmud Ghazni, he was challenged by the rajahs of India to come and conquer Somnath if he could, and upon seeing his victory inherent, the rajahs offered him riches beyond wildest imaginings, but he refused and coined the phrase, "I am an idol breaker, not an idol seller". As for Aurangzeb, he issued a decree to ALL (Even Muslims) that they cannot carry arms and certain type of turban is to be used ONLY by members of the royal family or state representatives...Now, even in America if you impersonate a police officer and carry a gun, there is a chance you will either get arrested or shot...As for Yahya, my history is a little sketchy...You'll have to provide me with sources for this...
Akbar’s reign was indeed the golden period of medieval India, but that was because he was a great ruler with an open mind who treated everyone equally irrespective of religion, and abolished religious taxation. Aurangazeb, however, was an entirely different case who fanatically isolated the non-muslims of the subcontinent.
quite untrue. mughals did influence indian culture vastly, but to say that “indians were people without a culture before them” would be incredibly naive. india was one of the centers of learning, takshashila and nalanda were world renouned universities at a time when the mongols/mughals were just a bunch of marauding central asian horsemen. Ajanta paintings are indeed immaculate and represent a golden era in Indian history with contributions drawn from hinduism, buddhism and jainism. and its funny that you think to be dhoti clad is derogatory, but seem to think you know what “culture” is. 
what bull. the guy made it his yearly campaign to loot punjab to gujarat every year and run his kingdom in southern afghanistan off the plunderings, for 17 continuous years. challenge my ass! his raids were known to be exceedingly bloody, chronicled by none other than alberauni himself.
i see that you didnt even muster Ghori any defence.
aurangazeb had the sikh guru teg bahadur killed for refusing to embrace islam, and tortured to death several of his disciples. he had thousands of hindus killed for resisting the destruction of hundreds of hindu temples. in certain places like udaipur, he had the city cleansed of hindus.
The human death toll over only 267 days was incredible. Just to give for five out of the eighteen districts some incomplete statistics published in Bangladesh newspapers or by an Inquiry Committee, the Pakistani army killed 100,000 Bengalis in Dacca, 150,000 in Khulna, 75,000 in Jessore, 95,000 in Comilla, and 100,000 in Chittagong. For eighteen districts the total is 1,247,000 killed. This was an incomplete toll, and to this day no one really knows the final toll. Some estimates of the democide [Rummel’s “death by government”] are much lower – one is of 300,000 dead – but most range from 1 million to 3 million. … The Pakistani army and allied paramilitary groups killed about one out of every sixty-one people in Pakistan overall; one out of every twenty-five Bengalis, Hindus, and others in East Pakistan. If the rate of killing for all of Pakistan is annualized over the years the Yahya martial law regime was in power (March 1969 to December 1971), then this one regime was more lethal than that of the Soviet Union, China under the communists, or Japan under the military (even through World War II).

All of it was in the name of Cristianity and NOT humanity. The bible was actually used to back up the justification!
Fraudia and Anand
Saddam would be absolutely justified in asking Muslims for help. It is the Muslims that are under attack. Unfortunately ALL the Muslim leaders have their heads so far up theirs and Americas ar..., that it's no wonder we are trampled on at every corner. This is not a War on Iraq but a calculated attack on Islam. North Korea and Isreal are reigning supremely free.
After Iraq, I bet it's another Muslim nation. Iran!
u dont know much about the condition of Iraqis under saddam but from all the documentries that are being shown it looks like the ppl are suffering badly under his leadership. newayz jo ho ga behtar kay liay ho ga. the thing that bothers me is the iraqi flag which has the words allah hu akbar on it. during the war there is going to be a lot of disrespect shown from the whites towards the flag. newayz i hope for the better.
sholay so when iraq attacked kuwait, kuwait couild have asked all msulism to attack iraq? what about when iran iraq deal was going on.
Islam is not a religion of peace. It supports violence under the pretext of interpretations.
Anyhow, a normal religion must not depend so much on interpretations!
