Questionable Teachings of Islam:

One Billion People Deceived

Unfortunately, when it comes to all religions, most people do not stop to question whether
they are being told the truth! Many who consider themselves to be religious may even be
kept in line by clerics who threaten that "God" will punish them with hell-fire for
questioning church leadership. There are various religions, other than Islam, whose church
leaders use guilt and other psychological fear tactics as a means of controlling their
congregation. In many instances this tends to push other people away from the concept
of religion altogether.

Another tragic fact is that most religions have never really been peaceful nor truthful at
all. Millions of innocent people have been killed in the name of "God" by movements that
believed it was their "Divine duty" to do so. This is what Muhammad sincerely believed as
he directed his armies to impose Islam upon the world; first by invitation, then by threats
and persecutions, and finally by war. In a partial spirit of tolerance, Muhammad
commanded that Jews and Christians who did not submit to Islam should be taxed, but
persecution and forced conversions against other people still took place. There was no
tolerance for people from pagan tribes as Muhammad gave the orders to kill them
wherever they were to be found. Yes, there is compulsion in religion and the present day
situation of today's events is undeniable proof.

There is also no denying that There Is Only One Truth!
In other words, whenever people are deceived by half-truths, this means that the other
half that they believe are all lies. And, while there may be many who believe in the
existence of God, others deny that God exists. There is only one Truth in this matter as
well. Either God exists, or, God does not exist. Plain and simple! If you believe in the
existence of the One Supreme Creator of all and you view non-Muslims as friends - not
enemies, then you should follow the sense within your soul and personally invite the God
of Creation to guide your soul into wisdom and spiritual peace that is found in Truth and
love that only God can give.

"...Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled;
Blessed are the merciful; for they shall obtain mercy; Blessed are the pure in heart; for
they shall see God; Blessed are the peacemakers; for they shall be called the Children of
God. (Matthew 5:6-9)
