I haven't had time or inclination to delve that deeply into research yet, so there may be some loopholes:
1) Is the modern religion Islam and the Quran hugely based on the interpretation of the followers, particularly the Prophet and is in actual fact, not God's word?
2) Is it because of this Man's interpretation that there is no central religious authority, confusion, and as a result, the cause of much bloodshed particularly between the Shiites and the Sunnis?
3) I haven't been able to get my hands on these books: But, what did the race of Muslims worship before Islam?
4) Why is it, if, Islam results because of a different interpretation, that no large number of Catholics or Christians really worship in this religion, which usually follows when there is a split in any major religion?
5) Why is most terrorism in the world usually the result of actions of Muslims?

my friend didnt say anything about Punjab, the tenth Guru of Sikh gave swords to his followers just because of forced conversion. One guru of sikh was exucuted by the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb in the seventeeth century.which led to the Khalsa MOvement. the fight for Khalisthan is still a psychological barrier which makes Sikhs feel inferior in their own country.which other religion in this world has a separate law which governs their life. what is the need of Fatwa? why is it restricting women so much in Saudi arabia ? why is this religion Bothered with what Sania Mirza is Wearing while she is playing? why does this race want the english medium Schools in Kashmir to be closed?why is there so much restriction for women is Saudi arabia? why didnt anyone raise voice against taliban when they were in power? no answers can be given for all these.

If you are "someone who knows" then prove it. Write a response and ask the editor to publish it.
Have you ever written anything that's been published? It's hard. Probably an editor of a print newspaper took one look at you and started laughing. HARD.
You know what's easy though? To cut somebody down for trying, and there's been a lot of that in the new version of this paper. Much of it from theyeti. Do you know him???
As for conspiracy theories and whatnot, MANY people believe them. They are not all "immature and ignorant" as you say.
I like Rizwan, he's from a different culture. I'll say one last thing, Mr. "Someone Who knows," you sound like a BIG FAT AMERICAN, the kind of guy who denies that there are other cultures and other countries out there who do not think the same way we do.

This site is a wonderful example of the adage that you get what you pay for. There is nothing of value anywhere on the site, just the ignorant ramblings of a porrly informed and apparently not too bright teenager.
I commend the builder on his use of the technology, though. The forms work, the page loads with no difficulty. If you get back to your studies, finish high school, and attend college, perhaps you'lllearn something and one day you'll be able to look back on this with that strange satisfaction with which we view our youthful indiscretions.
It is a good idea that went nowhere, simply because the author of these articles is so immature and ignorant.

while I do believe that the planes caused the collaps and after having seen all the videos I do think the falling started from the top, BUT I also do believe that THEORETICALLY the bombs *could have* caused it. I'm no expert myself, but I know that some experts would tell you that it's totally possible.
I think the article all together is good and is definately a worthwhile reading. Even though some points definately cause arguments and misunderstandings :)

What ever it was, it was'nt good. Every one condemns what happened. I dont feel good about it as well. Who ever USA blamed to be the culprits are not thought of as good figures anywhere in the world. The real question here is what did the enquiry reports say, and why were the media and military wars launched before the reports arrived. I think the article just gives the side of story which none of us liked to listen to.

You want proofs, so here they are, by the way if you are in doubt and needs any explanation about islam you can have your questions posted and I will answer them with proofs, on the contrary I would like you to produce material which in your opinion made you say that islam is different from inside as what is shown to others (specifically in this article) and by the way its just an OPINION any way. be waiting for the proofs in next 6 hrs as I have to go back home and post wha t u wanted....
Regards,
Rizwan

A badly written article emanating conspiracy-theory thinking with a dash of suggestive antisemitism ("oh, by the way, the towers fall under such angle instead of under a different one and since 5,000 jews were missing that day (where is this number coming from???) this all proves that it was not the Muslim terrorists who highjacked the plane the ones who caused this unhuman disaster, but someone else (guess who?)! What a nonsense!)
Clearly, the author(s) undertook the writing of this article not to "explain" Islam but rather to influence the reader into a beautified idealistic notion of Islam (only presented to outsiders of Islam by the way) by presenting a compilation of partial and biased "historical facts."
For the superficial reader of history or for someone already wearing the same self-appologetic eyeglasses, this would probably do the trick. For the rest, please refer to more serious study and articles on the matter.
