- The sladers against Islam have been continuing since the first human being
- on the earth, and Satan Rushdie is not the first, nor is he the last.
- The reason this is the issue these days is because we have another Satan
- these days in the net who is "enlightening" us about Islam.
-
- Since all the Prophets of God preached Islam, I have mentioned the reference
- going past Muhammad (pbuh).

- I think Iranian regime just wanted publicity, and they got what they wanted.
- If it was not for that, while there are 1000 times more evil things
- going around, they would also take some measures against them.
- Otherwise it looks funny while the guy is without trousers, and still trying
- to comb his hair. And there are worse slanders in the market about Islam,
- while target only Satan Rushdie in that case?

-
- The Prophet(pbuh) said that it is what is said which causes one to
- be burned in Hell. As far as the practice of our contributors,
- "the actions speak louder than the words."
