Thank you for visiting this pochas, Mr Tijani. As-salamu alaykum. I am not unsympathetic to your views. Your sacred beliefs are your own as they reside in your heart, I suppose. The passages of the Koran you mention show me the regard for justice and morals your GOD has delivered. Chp 4-74 indicates a difference between your beliefs and my own. Taking up arms is as old as the hills, but never became a goal or objective of the Christian faith since Jesus. There are examples through history when Christians did take up arms. I must confess, it is hard to discern the intent of any person, but I do see what I believe is an obsession with death. It is very old. I believe it was out of fear, mostly, and a mistake. GOD will judge. The Spanish Inquisitions 1478 were deliberated fanatically, and there are examples today everywhere in the world. We can see this fanaticism in many cultures. Jesus taught us that death of the body, and of the soul, is not what we think it is. If our bodies are a kind of temple, they should be respected--not beaten, trampled, burned, etc. For those reasons, I can't follow Muhammad. Don't feel bad, Mr Tijani. I can't follow most Christians!
