Islam is the most misunderstood way of life in the world. September 11th attack on the World Trade Center compounded the situation that the zionist media has stepped up their propaganda against this simplistic, flexible and revolutionary lifestyle which brings balance, peace and order to the human being. Allah is simply the arabic way of refering to the Most High. Islam is an arabic word which means willful submission to the will of Allah. A muslim is a person who willfully submits to the will of Allah. Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the final messenger and prophet of Allah after our beloved messiah Eesa/Yehsua the son of Mary (peace be upon him). In this article we will address 7 misconceptions about Allah.
The existence of all things prove that Allah exists. Allah says in the Holy Quran, the perfect guidance for mankind, “Were they created by nothing, or were they themselves the creators? Or did they create the heavens and the earth? No, they have no firm belief.” (Holy Quran 52:35-36). The Holy Quran is filled with basic reason and common sense that it does not take a “rocket scientist” to see the logic in the verse of the Holy Quran.
Secondly, how does one explain the complexities from an atom which is the smallest molecule known to man to the milky way, planets and stars far away in space? How can a human being who sees cars as small as ants when approaching an island from a plane deny, as well as, an awesome creator who created molecules so small that we need an electron microscope to see them? It is only reasonable that there must be an originator of all things.
One must be sure that Allah is a reality. One can also be sure by reflecting on the signs within His creation. Just as tracks along the Waitikubuli trail or on the Coconut Beach at Portsmouth points toward a person who had previously travelled there before, Allah’s signs within the creation point to the Most Wise Creator. Allah teaches us in the Holy Quran, “And upon the earth are signs visible to all who have faith with certainty, just as there are signs within your own selves. Will you not then see?” (Holy Quran 51:20-21).
Also, dear reader the very material you are reading right now, how do you explain the lens of your eyes accommodating to read this article right now? Could this be chance, natural selection or independent evolution? Anyone with insight and wisdom will see that the works of pseudo-intellectuals like the atheists, agnostics and “company limited” are as weak as a spider web.
Some inquire why are people so serious about Allah or a supreme being. Allah says in His exalted book, “Surely, all that is in the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah. Certainly, Allah’s promise is true but most of them know not.” (Holy Quran 10:55) .
One needs to be serious about Allah, this is not a laughing matter, that is why one would see muslims engaged in the remembrance of Allah (Glory be to Him, the Most High). It is baseless to believe that after one dies this is the end of his fate. Consider one who has raped a five year old girl then kills himself, where is the justice? Do you think that evil people will easily escape accountability? If that was true, do you know the implications of holding such a view? The human conscience would be in further oblivion, there would be no justice for the oppressed. Therefore, no wise person would make mockery of Allah. One would take Him seriously.
Others suggest why do we need “a god” to interfere in our lives, allowing and prohibiting things when we can decide for ourselves. This is the philosophy of relativism which is very dangerous for the human being. In Dominica, the age of consent is 16, whereas, the age of consent in France is 15 and China is 14. Let’s suppose one went to study in China and he marries his 14 year old chinese girl whom he loves so much, the state allowed it, they both have their marital certificate; in China this is not statutory rape, it is perfectly normal, however, the couple decided to move back to Dominica to settle for the rest of their lives.
Simply due to changing geographical location the man is accused of statutory rape. He will be looked on as a pedophille and all the derogatory names one can think of. Imagine this situation O reader and see how absurd this is. How can man dictate what age a man and woman should marry or dictate laws for that matter? Confusion isn’t it? Thus, Allah is the sole law giver as He says, “Say: ‘Do you not see what Allah has sent down to you for sustenance? You hae made of it some things lawful and some things unlawful.’ Say (to them O Muhammad): ‘Has Allah permitted you, or do you invent a lie against Allah?’” (Holy Quran 10:59)
We should not follow as well as allow mankind to decide what is best for them. Allah says, “If you obey most of those on earth, they will mislead you far away from Allah’s path. They follow nothing but conjecture, and they do nothing but lie.” (Holy Quran 6:116). If you look at the state of man, you see so many ideologies, sects, religions etc. Can you imagine a world without any guidance from a divine source? Allah has sent many prophets yet due to man’s stubborness and hardness of his heart he is in debauchery. Thus, democracy is a failed way. One time homosexuality is an abomination, today it is man’s “fundamental” right to “consent” to same sex practices. Isn’t that pure contradiction?
Allah could be reached through many different ways some say. Allah says, “Verily, this is my straight path, so follow it, and follow not other paths, for they will separate you way from His path. This He has ordained for you that you may become of those who fear and obey Him.” (Holy Quran 6:153). If one holds this idea of approaching any path to Allah as he wishes, can I use satan as an intermediary to get to Allah? Since many practices result in these different approaches, can all these approaches be correct? Any sane person would see this idea is illogical.
We hear the old saying, “Man dat write dem book wee.” They use this as a pretext to reject the guidance of Allah. Allah teaches in the Holy Quran, “When our verses are recited to them they say: ‘We have heard this; if we wish we can say the like of this. This is nothing but tales of the ancient.” (Holy Quran 8:31). When the verse is shown to women regarding the veil (hijab) both from the bible and the Holy Quran they say, “Is modern time, dat was their cul-cha. It too hot, is your heart dat count not de clothes. All dem people dat putting on all dat clothes is dey dat more nasty, underneath dey underneath.” They conjure all these excuses to reject the guidance of Allah. Thus, Allah revealed these principles and laws to guide us to moral and spiritual elevation and enlightenment.
In short, many people have grave misconceptions about Allah. Allah has given everyone a mind and conscience to seek the truth. Why when we prepare to travel we ensure all our documents are secured as well as in order, however, when it comes to our salvation we are neglectful? My people, the salvation to Allah’s paradise is the best to hope for. Thank you for reading.

what’s up with all them Muslim articles on DNO?
Truth has come and falsehood is bound to perish.
Islam is a confusing religion; I’m confused as to whether it more a way of life, than a religion??I’ve purchased “infidel” by Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Benazir Bhutto: Reconciliation; Ali was born into Islam but defies it and Bhutto was a devout Muslim. I’m reading these two views to draw my conclusion once and for all, because one thing I don’t believe in those are so called prophets!
That’s where you went wrong Dorette Alie, that is the wrong book to read if you want to know anything about Islam Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a compulsive liar. She even lied regarding her asylum in Holland that’s why they kicked her out of the Dutch Parliament. Please do some research on her background, also, she has been refuted my muslims as she lies a lot.
Second, Islam is a way of life, very complete. It is to believe in Tawheed, pure monotheism, that is firstly, to worship Allah (the arabic name for the supreme being) alone without any intermediaries. The same manner the messiah (assuming you are a christian) worshipped Allah directly mankind is called to do the same.
Thirdly, to believe that Muhammad (peace be upon him) the seal of all prophets was the last messenger. He taught the same monotheism as taught by Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Jesus the son of Mary peace be upon all the prophets.

Of course, the Muslim world hates her, because SHE REVEALED ISLAM’S FLAWS!! That is why a muslim man killed her friend, because she was revealing too much. Islam hates the Western world, because there is too much freedom for women. I was watching a documentary on Islam and the correspondent was interviewing a man, and another raised the Quran, and the man quickly asked the guy(with Quran) to take it away from the camera. That raised my eyebrows, and Ayaan raises some valid points in her book that also made me realize that Islam is like EVERY other religion, with its inconsistency and flaws. Ayaan lied in Holland, because she wanted something different than a faith that hindered, abused, and ill-treated women. The book is highly regarded, because she reveals the same issues the rest of the world have with Islam.
Islam condemns the minds of men, women, and children, because it introduces them to a faith that is imbalanced and downright flawed. Furthermore, I’m not interested in any “prophet” who took up a young child to be his wife. How do you explain following someone who displayed sexual affection to a child? Do you really believe God accepted that? If you do, then you are displaying a brainwashed attitude. I have no religion, but I have true faith.
May men believe in anything they wish. That is everyones own business. As long as these beliefs keep out of politics, law and everyone elses life, fine.everything will be
Nope, in fact that is where the problem is = secularism!!!
Divine law should permeate politics, law and everything else. Man due to his cultural biasness make laws for the benefit of a few elite. This is why many countries the way it is today due to man made laws.
What muslims practise speak so loud that we cannot hear what you are saying.Every country where islam is reigning like king, you find chaos misery and death.
For example in Darfur over 400,000 civilians have been murdered,poor blacks muslim killing muslims.
In Algeria over 200,000,Do you know who are the killers are? An Islamic government versus various Islamist rebel groups
Saddam murdered over 300,000 of his own people before the advent of the coalition forces.
I can continue to spell out the viciousness in this peaceful God sent religion.(lol).
Muslim couple having a wedding party an other muslim putting a bomb round his waist entering the house and killing everyone including little children.
Nidal Hasan in november 6 2009 at Fort Hood killed 13 of his friends, soldiers he laugh with and injured 31.While he was killing them shouting Allah acbar (God is great).
Baptist don’t kill each other.Pentecostals don’t murder Muslims because they are of a different faith.
Stop blaming the U.S. media and according to you the Zionist and preach to your Muslim friend teach them to learn tolerance,.Away with your nice quran
One could go on and on about the attrocities and mayhem those people (Muslims) inflict on societies that they control or are trying to control!!!!! Let me reiterate, AWAY WITH YOU AND YOUR NICE QURAN!!!!! In addition, all you Gay folkes, who are siding with the Muslim terrorists against Christianity, a la Rosie O’ Donnell etc., If Muslims have their way, guess whose throats gets slit first? Thaaaat’s right! The Gays!!!!!!
Is that the topic under discussion?
I totally agree with you! While the rest of the world carry out killings and atrocities; the Muslim world is pure pandemonium! A routine day in their lives depicts pure chaos that they are inflicting upon themselves. I’m reading more into that “religion” or “way of life” and it contradicts God’s plan for the world; which is Peace, Love, and Joy. The western world has nothing to do with their chaos; it is their own mindset.
i am still in shock as to how prejudice people can be. i think we should really read before we talk about things. most people talk and i bet most leaving comments here have never met a real muslim. you have priest that molest little boys and girls, are they proper religious? nope! the catholic church, once the biggest army in the world, responsible for millions, if not billions of murders. in fact, the religion of us black africans was originally muslim.
all i am saying is, every religion has the morons who make it bad. it is not the religion, it is the people. i really do not understand why dominicans show so much animosity to muslims when they really do not affect your lives in any way. we being prejudice when we experience prejudice all over the globe by races who consider us inferior. i find it really sad and hurtful. and i am a proud catholic too.
mohammed ali, i will post this link again, have a look and listen

Dominicans are not stupid. Go to some of the countries where islam is the main religion. See where and how the poor muslims live, assess everything and if you find it is good, then try to convert your dominican brothers and sisters. Come and see young girls who got married at the age of 9,10, 11 who got married to men who could be their grandfathers and are now suffering from VVF. tHEY ARE THROWN OUT FROM THE MARITAL HOMES AND IT IS THE CHRISTIAN MISSIONARIES WHO HAVE TO COME AND TREAT THEM. Shame on you .
This was a well written article. Very few grammatical errors and such. The content, however is extremely misleading and inaccurate. Let me attempt to tell you why I think so.
You toss out many, many claims. Allah created the world. Or Allah gave humanity laws for living or morality. Allah did this. Allah did that.
Typical of any religious zealot, you stated your case to the best of your knowledge within the sphere of your world view. But this is not enough. It is not enough to simply write an article about what Allah wants. It is not enough to write about what the Qur’an says.
You cannot prove the Qur’an by quoting the Qur’an!
The Qur’an is not correct just because it says it is!
The Qur’an is not correct just because YOU say it is!
And even worse: the Qur’an is NOT correct just because YOU say Allah says it is!
Let’s do a logical exercise; let’s start at the beginning.
From what I understand about theology (and Islam should not be too different), a deity (in this case Allah) passes down words of wisdom (the Qur’an) to humanity that will direct them to some sort of salvation through his prophets (guys like Jesus/Yeshua or Mohammad).
Ok. This is ONE HUGE CLAIM with many working parts. Let’s look at a couple of these parts.
Firstly the deity: Allah.
Before I can believe the rest of the claim you need to prove to me that this deity exists. If you can’t sufficiently prove so, then, the rest of your claim is toothless as it all rests on this first claim being true. I can tell you now that I see no evidence to prove that this claim is true. Birds and bees or the beauty of nature are not sufficient. Especially when you make a specific claim about the qualities of the deity in question, such as he is wise or loving or whatever. First prove Allah, then we can move forward and look at the rest of your claim.
Secondly the words of the deity: the Qur’an.
If the deity actually exists, and sufficient proof is available to make that claim true, then we need now to prove that the deity actually was the one responsible for giving these words to humanity.
In the same way that a friend of mines cannot claim (without evidence) that I am the inventor of the bicycle just because I am a human capable of the task, we should not just take the word of any person who says that it was his deity who gave the holy book(s) to humanity. I say, let the deity speak for himself (if he/she indeed exists) as he does in the stories he is purported to have written. Let his prove that he indeed gave those words to humans. Enough with all this hide and seek nonsense! He claims to have created us, so why does he hide his face from us?
Who knows, there may be multiple deities out there vying for attention from humans. You holy book could have come from another deity and not the one whom you claim it came from.
I would not expect many theists to comprehend the concept of the possibility of another deity existing apart from the one they hold dear, but I would say that if you can believe that one exists, how difficult would it be to believe many exist?
Now, the author wrote about many more topics and I do not want to drag this post on for much longer. I would like the author to look up the terms “special pleading” and “argument from ignorance”. Hopefully the author can learn what these are and see why his post is full of holes in logic and cannot stand in an argument against a reasonably equipped skeptic.
Thank you for posting this to me. This is what I appreciate, your approach. Allow me to share this with you from Moral Foundations of Islamic culture by Dr. Bilal Philips.
Belief in Allaah begins with belief in His existence
First and foremost, it should be noted that belief in God’s existence is not illogical, as modern atheists would have mankind believe. Ancient Greek philosophers like Plato and Aristotle rationally concluded that God must exist. Plato argued from design that there must be a designer. When human beings come across footprints on a beach, they immediately conclude that a human being had walked by there some time previously. It would be quite illogical to imagine that the waves from the sea settled in the sand and by chance produced a depressions looking exactly like human footprints.
Consequently, it is not surprising to find that all human societies throughout human history, with very few exceptions, have believed in the existence of God. It is only in the 20th century that whole societies have been established based on the denial of God’s existence. Russia and
China and states under their control systematically taught atheism in all of their institutions of learning. However, after the fall of the soviet system and the abandonment of communist economics in China, the resurgence of religion in both countries has been phenomenal.
Anthropologists and psychologists have long held that belief in God was acquired by nurture. This was a natural result of their Darwinian views, which considered humans essentially animals, and thus the absence of religion among apes indicated that it must be man-made. In fact Freud proposed that the oedipal-complex was the basis of human belief in God. Yet, some modern researchers increasingly leaned to the conclusion that belief in God must be natural for it to be so wide-spread. In 1997 experimental evidence for the inherent belief in God was found.
‘God spot’ is found in brain
by Steve Connor
Science Correspondent
God may depend on how enhanced is this part of
the brain’s electrical circuitry, the scientists said
SCIENTISTS believed they have discovered a “God
module” in the brain which could be responsible for
man’s evolutionary instinct to believe in religion.
A study of epileptics who are known to have
profoundly spiritual experiences has located a circuit
of nerves in the front of the brain which appears to
become electrically active when they think about God.
The scientists said that although the research and its
conclusions are preliminary, initial results suggest that
the phenomenon of religious belief is “hard-wired”
into the brain.
Epileptic patients who suffer from seizures of the
brain’s frontal lobe said they frequently experience
intense mystical episodes and often become obsessed
with religious spirituality.
A team of neuroscientists from the University of
California at San Diego said the most intriguing
explanation is that the seizure causes an overstimulation
of the nerves in a part of the brain dubbed
the “God module.”
“There may be dedicated neural machinery in the
temporal lobes concerned with religion. This may
have evolved to impose order and stability on
society,” the team reported at a conference last week
The results indicate that whether a person believes in a
religion or even in.
Dr. Vilayanur Ramachandran, head of the
research team, head of the research team, said the
study involved comparing epileptic patients with
normal people and a group who said they were
intensely religious.
Electrical monitors on their skin—a standard
test for activity—in the brain’s temporal lobes—
showed that the epileptics and the deeply religious
displayed a similar res-ponse when shown words
invoking spiritual belief.
Evolutionary scientists have suggested that
belief in God, which is a common trait found in
human societies around the world and throughout
history, may be built into the brain’s complex
electrical circuitry as a Darwinian adaptation to
encourage co-operation between individuals.
If the research is correct and a “God module”
exists, then it might suggest that individuals who
are atheists could have a differently configured
neural circuit.
A spokesman for Richard Harries, the Bishop of
Oxford, said whether there is a “God module” is a
question for scientists, not theo-logians. “It would
not be surprising if God had created us with a
physical facility for belief,” he said.1
Mr Skeptic, maybe you can look at some you tube videos regarding atheists who have embraced Islam even Mathematics and Science professors perhaps it may widen your scope a bit.
I may not be as intelligent as you to address the question but I can refer you to the best of my knowledge.
I am glad to see a reasoned, polite discussion on this subject. I commend Mr. Darroux and AoA for their gentlemanly behavior.
I am a mathematician and logician. I must say that AoA’s response was a superb analysis of the key parts of Mr. D’s original post.
Mr. D, your response to AoA consists of these main points (please correct me if I’m wrong). You start with an appeal to the authority of Dr. Bilal Philips, who goes on to make the well-worn argument from design. Nobody argues that the earth and the universe is awe-inspiring; and it arouses in us a desire to understand why we and the universe exist. We see parallels between human causation (footprints) and Creation — because causation is the only thing that humans have ever known. It is the only tool we have, so we apply it to the explanation of the universe. But just as a hammer will never be used in eye surgery, the tool of causation may simply not provide any advantage in understanding the Universe and its origins (we cannot even use the word origins — time has an entirely different meaning in most cosmological contexts — look up dark matter, that mysterious stuf that makes up 90% of the universe). We certainly cannot argue that because
every nonrandom thing we’ve ever seen was caused, that the universe (which certainly enjoys a different type of organization) was also caused in the way humans use the concept.
Dr. Philips goes on to confuse the issue entirely. He startes by arguing that all human societies have believed in some sort of God, that even societies that forbid religion have reintroduced it, and concludes that God must exist. But those facts reflect a need in humans to find an explanation and a purpose in Life. The need exists, but there is no reason to think the need will be fulfilled. So we invent a fulfillment, and call it God. One is inclined to be sympathetic to the people who invent and believe in such fulfillment, but that does not mean that what they have invented corresponds in any way to what the Universe truly is, or explains anything about our position in it. Finally, Phillips goes on to miss the joke of the God Module. Evolution may indeed have given an evolutionary advantage to those who inspire and comfort others with tales of a Higher Being. The tales, when looked at carefully, are preposterous, just as Mohammed was being preposterous when he said that the Sun set in front of some distant mountains. We are all human, and we all make mistakes — even Mohammed.
Mr. Darroux, I mean no disrespect — but at the end you say you may not fully understand this issue, but that you find some videos on youtube convincing. May I respectfully suggest that you write articles that say “I, Dawoud (Sheldon) Abdur-rahman Darrou, have found some youtube videos that I find convincing”, instead of writing about “Common misconceptions about Allah” as if you had a much stronger grasp of the subject than the best theologians, philosophers, and logicians have been able to muster. You are inadvertently taking advantage of those who are even more misinformed (and perhaps more gullible). I am sure that your heart is in the right place, and this is not one you intend. Imagine the consequences if there really is a God who is displeased with those who presume to speak in his name without authorization. Is it impossible that you might be doing that?
“Islam is the most misunderstood way of life in the world.” I wonder why? Hmmmmm; mercy killings, suicide bombers, terrorists, blowing up churches in Muslim countries, killing former muslims who have converted to other faiths, suppressing the teachings of other religions in Muslims countries while Muslims in the West are free to share their beliefs. Still you guys describe Islam as a religion of peace. Makes absolutely no sense to me.
i think you meant honour killings……….that is killng a woman if she is seen shaking a mans hand, or if she gets raped
i think u got it wrong mate. it is if she has sex and is not a virgin before marriage. and not all muslim families practice that. again, extremists. my girl is muslim and her family loves me to death
is mohammed ali not a muslim? so what exactly is wrong with muslims if they live the right way? from what i gather is that they trying to set the record straight with this article that there are muslims and extremists. i think you all should check out this mohammed ali piece

If Jesus were to return and live amongst us, he would be spreading the Word via the internet. He’d surf the net and twitter his message to everyone.
You Muslims need to rid yourselves of the draconian laws against women and children that you continue to practice.
God/Allah gave us two great gifts: Freedom of Choice and Conscience.
You Muslims don’t respect any of the two.
now the article above which states tht a doctor is in trouble for mentioning thename Jesus to his patient is the only proof one should need to know that Jesus christ is the only way…………the devil don’t care about islam…………..he knows it is a false doctrine…………he hates the name Jesus………..he trembles a the name Jesus and he don’t want the truth to be told. there is a force a very powerful dark force which comes against the name jesus…..satan could care less about islam …………he want people to embrace it cause he knows that their end will be destruction.
The name Jesus? What language did Mary peace be upon her spoke in Palestine two thousand years ago? Do some research, ask yourself did she name her son “Jesus?”
Second, the devil is clever, even people who worship cows and statues cast out demons. The demons respond when they are satisfied with their polytheism, then they leave so the people think that calling on the cow works not realizing that the devil wants them closer to polytheism. This is what happens in christianity.
again…………… the devil have no probs with people worshiping cows………..do you see then being persecuted nooooooooooooooooooooooooo his problem is Jesus christ of nazareth….he falls doen to his face and bow at the mention of that name……..every knee shall bow every tongue must confess that Jesus Chris is lord.
How could Jesus be Lord when he prayed to one greater than him? How could Jesus be God when he said he is ascending to his Lord John 20:17?
How many gods are there?
NOW I BET YOU THAT IF I GO TO SAUDI ARABIA, PAKISTAN, IRAN, SYRIA, LYBIA, MALAYSIA AND ALL OF THE OTHER ISLAMIC STATES, I WOULD BE JAILED (OR BE KILLED) FOR DOING WHAT THIS ISLAMIC DUDE IS DOING IN OUR FREE CHRISTIAN SOCIETY.
I CANNOT GO TO PAKISTAN AND WRITE ABOUT ISLAM THAT WAY…AND AoA KNOWS IT.
THEY CANNOT LIVE AMONG OTHER PEOPLE OR FAITHS
ISLAM IS THE ONLY RELIGION WITH VARYING LEVELS OF TOXICITY:
MODERATE (TOLERANT)
SEMI-MODERATE (START CALLING THE FBI)
FUNDAMENTALIST (EVERY BODY AFRAID…AND MOVE UR FAMILY ELSEWHERE)
ISLAM IS INTOLERANT
ISLAM IS EVIL
THERE IS NO LOVE IN ISLAM. THATS WHY THEY CANNOT CALL GOD “FATHER”
THERE IS ONLY DOMINATION AND FEAR
PROTECT OUR COUNTRY PEOPLE. WE ARE UNDER ATTACK
Learn to stick to the topic at hand and stop the maypwee
where ever you guys are hoping to go when you die, I doe want to go there.I am spiritual and believe in one God, case close.You all are all saying the same thing in different toungs.You all are speaking in toungs.Get a grip, enough of all these religious mumbo jumbo.
why do muslims practice polygamy?
That’s a different topic. Have you read and understood the article?
but this is a part of islam that is widely misunderstood!!! and isnt that the basis of you article..to help clear the misconceptions of islam? then to me the line of question is inline with the topic.
You are trying HARD to get us to like Islam aren’t you?
You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.
You can tell us that Isla is great, almighty, powerful, and superior, but you can’t make us believe it and change our ways to go along with it.
Nice try though.
Can you address the article?
I have come to the conclusion that religion is nothing more than just plain outdated idealogy based on myths and fairytails. Men of ancient days that had less than half the knowledge we do, and knew hadly anything about how the human body functions and the universe operate telling us how life and everything came into being. Heaven and hell is a state of mind.
I advise you to listen to the speech by President Obama given in Cairo about the debt the western world owes to Islam. I challenge you on that, the talk is about an hour long. Wake up and smell the coffee. You are saying this because of the madness christianity has done in Europe killing scientists who challenged the flaws of the bible. Islam in fact coincides with science and has brought knowledge to Europe whilst it was in darkness.
I am not a religious person, but it always amazes to see one religion put down another. Why can’t we just respect each other beliefs?
sn: I agree that the media is being bias against Muslims. IMO Christianity is just as bad.
It is very sad Mr Sout, I agree with you. Many have not read the article yet they are only here to bash Islam. Not one person can logically deal with the article.
mr south……since u r not religeous, christianity is just as bad, u agree the media is bias against muslems, and u need 2 worship god somewhwer, then ????? u doh go join MAlways. by the way is this another Malways or a trying 2 be MAlways
Huh? Did you read my comment. If I am not religious why the hell would i want to become a muslem.
i once was fascinated by the the teaching of islam but as a dive into understanding the religion i realize`that it was not all that.Inthe absence of the bible the koran makes no sense ,it is unable to stand on its own.And it also confuses the bible prophet in order of time.Also the God of the Koran is different from the God of the bible.Islam originated from paganism and is a very materialistic religion especially promising young men 7 virgins in heaven whilst on earth those imams are having alll the virgins that they want.This religion is very intolerant and is inherently violent.A respectful religion shows respect for humanity and is sympathetic to human suffering.If muslim cannot live on earth in harmony not in heaven they will be able to live.Infact the real muslims are fundamentalist and they are doing exactly what their master teaches killing unbelievers and christians .That is how islam spread by violence at the hands of the sword.There may be good conscience people in islam but the must realize that they are in the wrong religion.
Name me one book you have read from a muslim author. I challenge you to tell me about the concept of God in Islam! You do not talk like a human being that has read anything about Islam.
If you have read anything at all, even a pamphlet, then your bigotry has totally blinded you.
i’ve read a lot of stuff that indicates that Mohammed was a pedophile? Care to address that?
Yes he was, he last wife was 10 years old when he met her and 12 when he got married and had sex with her
The age of consent in China is 14, the age of consent in France is 15 and the age of consent is 16 in Dominica. You abide by laws which allows technically for girls in Dominica to be prostitutes by the age of 16. 1 Corinthians 6:9 states that a fornicator will never enter the kingdom of God…This is in your bible you hypocrites!
@Anti-love – I cannot call you Anti-hate because your statements reflect bigotry and savagery. Also, if you are Dominican, why don’t you address the high molestation rate of little boys and girls according to the report from Welfare of 5 and 6 year old boys and girls. Please look into that before talking about Pedophilia. If you are Catholic, talk to your priests. Why is Pope Benedict covering up the pedophilia done by priests throughout the world?
AoA
Answer the damn question. Was he was he not a pedofile. Which 10 year old have you come across that can make a concious decision to married a Mafeteh. A big married man at that and even having sex with the person child at 12 yrs. Garson allu mad. That is the problem with islam, hypocracy, hypocray and more hypocracy. To add insult to injury to all treat women as property and not as partners. I know because I have lived amonong islamic people more that you will ever imagine. My advise to you is seek god while you can.
The priest are wrong and should be prosecuted likewise but that does not clear your prophet from being a bloody pedofile.
YEAH! ANSWER D BLOODY QUESTION!!!!!!!!
STOP DUDGING
IF IT IS TRUE THE MAN WA A BLINKING PEDOPHILE
MOLESTING CHILDREN
ISLAM YEAH RIGHT

Asking if it’s true that the man was a paedophile is reflective of me being a bigot?? Really?
lol… all i can say is wow..i just lost all respect for you and your writing if that is the kind of judgemental attitude you have..
Dr. Finger, I answered the question but you can’t read between the lines, the point is age of consent is close to 12 years in many countries in the world thus it is not considered pedophilia.
Secondly, nothing is wrong with marriage to a 12 year old girl who has reached the age of puberty. In the time of the prophet, this was something practice amongst the christians as well. These young marriages were known and the parents never objected to the marriage. You people need to open your minds. What you must be aware of is the level of prostitution amongst school children in Dominica. Most always daykarlay before marriage…They have nothing to give to their first night of marriage. Most are already deflowered.
He was not a pedophile..back then,marriage to a young girl as12yrs old was a familys decision to make and not solely the girls.
P.S. The last i checked,the age of consent in Cuba was 12yrs saying
1. Tell your priests and pastors to impose a fatwah on George Bush and Tony Blair and the other zionist western imperialists to stop their atrocities and to arrest them for war crimes. Second, in Islamic law it is a crime to kill innocent civilians and non combatants.
2. A muslim man will marry christian and jewish women to help them recognize where they have gone wrong. A chance to rectify their affairs or if they do not want to embrace islam, at least they can be better christians and jews. Also, this teaches that Islam is more tolerant to Christianity and Judaism. The man is the head of the home, a pagan cannot be the head of a muslim woman. In christianity a christian cannot marry one who is not a christian. According to the bible an adventist cannot marry a jehovah witness, or a protestant to a catholic as Paul said, “unevenly yoked.” It is you Dr. Finger who must stop the hypocrisy.
3. Shiites and sunnis are talking. The bias western media will not tell you this because they love to carry out pockets of news allowing the world to believe it’s all shiites and sunnis who are fighting. What about in Ireland, the Catholics and protestants fought for many years, how long were they fighting and there are still tensions there.
4. Dominicans kill their own people so what is your point? Dominicans go to Guadeloupe and Martinique and kill for bling, a gold chain. Many are involved in dangerous drugs and the public has lost trust in our police force. Dominica is getting worse, just the other night a guy was robbed at gun point for his gold chain in Kings Lane.
That message was for Dr. Finger.
God will ALWAYS be stronger than the devil. This reason is enough that Christianity will ALWAYS rule. Be aware: The thief comes to kill, steal and destroy!
Praise be to the Son of God most High! Jesus Christ is Lord to the Glory of God the Father. And in the name of Jesus Christ, I rebuke you Satan. People be aware of false prophets who teach about God – preach preach preach, but take you down in another way – i guess mr darroux didn’t learn from the false prophet who predicted the end of the world.
Satan has already poisoned your mind into doing the worst thing on this earth, polytheism. You have worshipped the messiah and God together. This is what satan wants…He already has a hold of you.
In Islam we teach pure monotheism. How could this be wrong? We are saying to worship God alone without mediators. What could be “satanic” about that?
My friend,
1. If Islam was such a good religion the all the Imams and other leaders would impose a fatwah on Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban making their demise easy and bringing peace to the ENTIRE World.
2. Islam is a religion for selfish men. Why can a man married a woman that is not a muslim and a muslim woman cannot married a non muslim man. Hypocritical, aint it?
3. If Islam was so peaceful why cant Shites and Sunnis leave in peace and accept the differences of each other? They conside each other mortal enemies even if they are both islam sects.
4. If islam is so peaceful why the idiots in Parkhistan are so darn ignorant and continue to kill their own people.
Until people like you can explain these points then Islam will always be viewed as a religion of selfish, hateful liers.

My Friend..
1. I am Catholic and married to an adventist. So you are wrong
2. A man is and always will be the head of the household so a MUSLIM woman cannot assume that position over a man regardless of his religion
3. shites and Sunnis have always been talking from time immemorial but in the process continue killing each other on a grand scale. Simply put, until they agree that Muhammed or Ali were not prophets but rather religious men the fight will continue. Just look at Bahrain.
4. Crimes will always be here as long as we hav deviance in society. However, the mass killings in Pakhstan is all religious based and mass murder. Very shameful for a religion that prides itself on proclaiming peace.
5. Your women are not things but rather human beings who have the right to make chioces. Killing them (honor killing) because they fall in love with someone else other than suicidal maniachs will never be acceptable to Allah (God) regardless of how the Imans try to justify it.
In conclusion, I hope Dominicans never allow that religion to take hold in our beautiful country because you are all hypocrites and killers. I have lived in and work in the Middle East (Saudi, Kuwait, Jordan, Qatar, Dubai) and is no stranger to Islam. You may fool the people of Dominica but NEVER me. While I agree every muslim may not be a terrorist, I can assure you that every terrorist I have known is a muslim. May the blood of Jesus Christ the Saviour be upon you.
Salam Malikum (spelling?)- In peace I come
You are a Catholic and you think you have a moral authority to judge Islam?
You are a laughable character!
You talk about pedophilia, remove the beam off your own eyes you hypocrite and tell your Catholic priests to leave the little boys alone. How dare you even open your infidel mouth about the prophet Muhammad peace be upon him? You are not even worthy of calling any of the prophet’s name including Jesus peace be upon him.
Second, you are married to an adventist? That puts you in a deeper hole. Catholics are the most ignorant people about the bible. The Sunday Misal is their book on Sundays. Which “saint” did you call on this morning to give you your daily bread? Pure paganism! Which “saint?” Saint Anthony? Saint Michael? Mother Theresa? Lady Fatima? Your bible teaches that you are not to be unevenly yoked with unbelievers. For a Catholic an adventist is an unbeliever. Also, your wife has committed a major sin by marrying the likes of you. Adventists believe that Catholic church is the great harlot and satan as they worship on Sunday. Now I understand why you are so ignorant and your heart is sick. May Allah guide you. Ameen.
Third, to your statement, “A man is and always will be the head of the household so a MUSLIM woman cannot assume that position over a man regardless of his religion.” We can agree on that. Thus since man is the head as agreed by the bible also, then it is even worst for a muslim woman to marry an infidel especially of your type who hates Islam very much.
Regarding the shia-sunni issue, you have failed to address the killings between Catholics and protestants in Ireland.
Fall in love with an infidel? That is a shame and I do not agree with “honor killings” neither does Islam but we can understand why muslim fathers go mad when their daughter “fall in love” with an infidel who doesn’t even wash his private parts after using the toilet! Many of them do not circumsize, also they simply shake their penises then put it back in their underwear. Thus why would a muslim woman in her right mind marry an uncircumsized pagan who can’t even use the bathroom properly?
In conclusion, Islam is growing in Dominica. People from all walks of life are embracing Islam, we have a radio programme every Thursday at 7pm on DBS informing the nation about Islam. Many hold Islamic beliefs and are coming. Thus people will come into Islam and there is nothing you pagans can do about it!
For modest respectful christians who have no hatred towards Islam, this comment is not for you. These strong comments are for those who have shown clear hatred towards Islam. They are here to bash Islam. We know as muslims there are respectful priests and bishops thus Catholic church cannot be claimed for the actions of some priests. By the same token, Islam should not be blamed for the wrong actions of a few. Do not be fooled by western media, do your own research with an open mind and heart and pray to the most High for His guidance.
You know, beliefs can be a powerful thing sometimes having no sense of rationality as in the case of religious beliefs displayed within these comments, my religion is better than yours, Oh no, mine is better. this clearly shows what religion does to the mind of Man, each showing their hatred towards each other. The inventors of such a system knew exactly what they were doing. Give people a God. a Prophet, holy books and a set of beliefs, but most sadly imprisoning their minds from growing spiritually, very sad indeed. What makes you “Dr.Finger” fell that because you are a Christian and a believer in your messiah Jesus that your religion is the only one to be accepted in Dominica what absurdity is this. Don’t you forget the same religion you so fiercely defend was the same one which lead the destruction of the kalinago people who were the first inhabitants in the Country living peacefully with their own culture and God, bewilders me. To the person calling himself “AoA” why is it you want to blame the Western Media for your religion short fall , well your religion does not either have any a good track record,
Both your religions have faltered. None of your religions have accepted women into their hierarchy, despite Christians bragging and boosting about Mary’s role in Christianity they have not accepted women in the inner circle, what hypocrisy. The above commentary written by Dawoud (Sheldon) Abdur-Harman Darroux shows nothing of enlightenment, and nothing new but instead it is all based on defending the faith of Islam. if i want to find out about your faith, Islam i know where to go and search, i do not need your commentary to tell me. Oh just to remind you, I”m not saying that you are not entitled to your beliefs, of course you are. Finally to “Dr fingers” what is it about the blood of Jesus Christ the savior..
i think you will find that they did disown bin laden. he couldnt even be buried in his home land because they disowned him a long time ago
@ Gary: Atheism and agnosticism are the worst case scenario. Look at China and Russia, their oppression towards “religion.”
Your response is Typical, and nonsensical, simply because someone does not agree with you religious beliefs you label them Why is it you are quick to associate me with Atheism or Agnosticism. This i will tell you I’m smart enough to know that there is a divine presence and i do not need a set of religious beliefs given to me or follow some religion where by everything is prescribe to.me and told that i have to accept them because some book or Prophet says so, why should i give up my sovereignty the right to think and have my own thoughts to some institution called religion. You used an analogy and a quote of Pluto regarding his explanation as to why there is a God but at the same time you are accusing me of being an Atheist or Agnostic but quoting Pluto, why did you not quote something from your holly book to make the point.
On the question of your advise to me regarding looking at China and Russia is somewhat cynical.
Why can’t you look at the world and see the mess we are in, follow the trail of that mess and see where it leads to, Religion the great divider and confuser, is this what you want me to follow and be a part of, look at the track record of religions, even yours and you want to tell about Atheism and Agnosticism are the worst case scenarios, why not religion. Peace be with, unto you what you want to believe.
