People can interpret scripture to suit their agendas.

Grow a brain people. Most Muslims are peaceful people who interpret the Quran in a peaceful fashion. You all would know that if you ever went past the ‘masala’ verses that people like to quote and misinterpret so that they can control you and exploit your fear and hate to suit their political agendas.

You want to know about Islam? Go TALK TO A MUSLIM, or, if you are too afraid to do that, try this link: http://www.whyislam.org/

As far as I am concerned (AND ive read the koran for thirty eight years as a teacher of religious education) as a non muslim, i’d be glad to see the back of this religion from UK if it ever left us…the bile and murder spouted from the pages are just wickedness. This is a very dangerous political theocracy.

I think people in the uk have realised this now, and are starting to stand up against it.

Utter rubbish, Muslims use as a propaganda rant to establish themselves as innocent victims.

Jews were innocent and persecuted for nothing more than their race. There are 4,000 UK Muslims under terrorist surveillance, constant arrests and imprisonments that no longer even hit the headlines, a stream of hate preachers, hate literature in mosques, 1/3 want Sharia, many support apostasy death, we’ve got Bin Laden the Taliban and Al Qaeda, riots across Europe, death threats over cartoons and teddy bears, anti free speech hate and murder threat protests in London…..and in addition to all that and more, the great irony is the fact of Muslim anti semitic hatred.

Enough. This crap needs to be named and challenged for what it is, and naive ideas about multiculturalsim combined with post colonial guilt needs updating to the facts: just because someone is a minority, it does not mean they are nice or even acceptable.

Joe, don’t know if you’ve seen it or not, but there is another article about the fears held by the C of E

It is a basic rule in Islam that all parents, whether they are Muslim or not, are entitled to good and kind treatment from their offspring. At the time of the Prophet, many of those who embraced Islam had difficulties with their parents, but Prophet Muhammad taught them to be kind to their parents and to obey them except if they demanded actions that were contrary to God’s laws.

[And if they contend with you that you should associate with Me what you have no knowledge of, do not obey them, and keep company with them in this world kindly, and follow the way of him who turns to Me, then to Me is your return, then I will inform you of what you did.] (Luqman 31:15)

This verse specifies the way in which Muslims should treat their non-Muslim parents. It is clear that obedience to parents is required of every Muslim, but if that obedience comes into conflict with obedience to God, then a Muslim’s’ duty toward God comes first. And caring for the parents is what Islam promotes the most especially when they get to old age.

A man asked Prophet Muhammad “What kinds of deeds are best in the sight of God?” He replied, “To pray on time, to be good and kind to parents, and to struggle in the path of God” (Al-Bukhari).

Thus, kindness toward parents came between two of the most important religious duties that Islam lays on Muslims. The reward for being good and kind toward one’s parents was mentioned on several occasions by Prophet Muhammad, emphasizing that those who are obedient to their parents and to God also will be in the highest places in Paradise.
