WHEN A JEWISH ELDER GROWS A BEARD IT IS SAID HE IS JUST FOLLOWING HIS FAITH ; WHEN A MUSLIM DOES SO IT IS SAID HE IS A TERRORIST?
WHEN A CHRISTIAN NUN COVERS HER BODY FROM HEAD TO TOE IT IS SAID SHE IS JUST BEING A FAITHFULL FOLLOWER OF GOD; WHEN A COMMON MUSLIM WOMAN COVERS HER HEAD IT IS SAID SHE IS BEING OPRESSED?
WHEN AN AMERICAN FIGHTS FOR HIS COUNTRY HE IS CALLED A HERO; WHEN HUNDREDS OF MUSLIMS RISK THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR COUNRTY IT IS SAID THEY ARE SUICIDE BOMBERS?
MUSLIMS ARE COUNTINOUSLY TOTURED AND DISCRIMINATED
AND YET WHY IS ISLAM STILL THE FASTEST GROWING RELIGION IN THE WORLD!!!
By whom "is it said"? All Americans? Sorry, but in my experiences that is not the case at all.
Anyway, comparing a nun to a Muslim woman is like comparing a mullah to a Christian man. Apples and oranges.
Comparing an American soldier following the rules of war to an extremist who straps on a bomb and blows up pizza parlors is also apples and oranges.
And finally, Muslims do not own the corner on who is being tortured and discrminated against around the world. And a majority of those who are suffer at the hands of fellow Muslims anyway.
That's why I said the quote wasn't accurate (and quite debatable as to whether or not it is touching.)

comparing someone who prays five times a day and devotes his life to his faith compared to someone who goes to worship once a week. True, apple and oranges.
Comparing heavily armed with the latest gadgetry to somone unarmed protecting his house and honor from occupation. True, apples and oranges.
And where do you see Muslims killing and torturing others?

Sorry, but I don't believe that praying on a timetable necessarily equates to righteousness. Assuming a Christian does not devote his life to his faith or is otherwise not in the presence of God except for Sunday service is presumptuous and not in the realm for you or I to judge.
as muslims we feel that the whole world is against us.... why do we try to get sympathy from every living being? cant we just accept that yes there are bad days... thank goodness there is happiness too..
sheesh..
Jews had it pretty hard a few decades back... and u know what they have it bad still (the ones on the Gaza strip...and many others around the world).. Chritians have it bad too... but i dont see them trying to get sympathy votes..
Allah Mian knows whats happening.. have faith in Him and all shall be well :)
