    Dhimmi Jews, they still say "if you see a Jew behind a tree kill him" in the Hadith, This is part of the words of Allah, ask the students if they refute this verse.

    I absolutely refute this verse and I find Allyson's comment hateful and inciting.

    I hope "Msa Member" isn't actually Muslim, because even I as a non-Muslim know that the quoted "verse" isn't a verse in the Qur'an at all but is rather a fabricated hadith i.e. someone claiming that Mohammed said such and such a thing 100s of years after his death. It's Islam 101. Allyson, you should speak with more Muslims. It'll help cure the Islamophobia. Consider it immersion therapy.

    That quoted verse by Allyson isn't the word of Allah, but a deformation
    of a verse from one hadith; in my point of view, taking these words apart without quoting the entire text, and deforming them, is, malicious and, as
    correctly stated Msa Member, hateful and inciting.

    That verse comes from a narration about Last Day's battle between
    Dajjan (the Antichrist) and Isa (Jesus), and, according to
    that hadith, Dajjan will come with a large number of Ispahan
    Jews, who will hide behind trees and stones; but these will say
    to believers "Behind me there is a jew, come and kill him".

    As you can see, the verse, in its original form and context is
    somewhat different from the verse posted by Allyson; but,if we
    carry in mind that hadith trustfulness is variable (they are
    classificated according their reliance, and, in any case they can't
    substitute the Holy Qur'an), and, particularly, this hadith is not from the mor reliable (in fact, many muslims ignore its existence), to take
    it as an "example" is absolutely malicious.

    Dear All,I want to share you peoms of famous Sindhi Muslim Sufi scholar Sachal Sarmast Sacho.

    The kalma did not, make me a Muslim
    Nor did the prophet send faith from Arabia
    Sachoo*, is himself divine, if humans think him human.

    (*Sachal Sarmast called himself as Sachoo, which in Sindhi, means the "Truthful One")

    It is high time, banish the differences,
    Rid your heart of religions, let a new day dawn,
    The Hindu and the Muslim together join hands in love,
    Hope not becomes too late, in the West sun does not rise!"

    I believe human being ismore important than to any belief or idealogy;We all are same,equal and have to learn to live toghther with Peace and harmony.Essense of every religion is brotherhood,peace,tolerance,justice and forgiveness.pls open up ur mind and hearts and feel the immense joy when u preach Humanity.Pls see beyond narrow prison of beliefs.We all are ONE,We all are HUMAN beings.

    Long live to world Peace and Tolerance!!
