Menj

Yesterday i stumbled upon a person called Menj.. it would seem he has something against Christianity..
i think he should be pretty proud of himself... b4 this i hadn't found anything on the internet that could pissme off or anything dat was worth getting pissed off at (including pop-up ads, internet chat and unhelpful toolbars) that is until now of course.
I never actually thot i'd feel so stongly about someone denouncing my religion... so anyway, i left my mark on his site... i wasn't the only one it seems, who feels strongly about a Muslim denouncing Christianity, i think mei also found out about him and left her mark there...

so, later that nite as i was thinking over Menj's site, i kinda felt in a wierd sort of way that God(if it really was Him) was telling me to uhh, not give the typical "i'm right you're wrong answer"... a verse from my devotion struck me too. "Do not repay evil with evil, but overcome evil with good."
So anyway i came up(or if you must..God gave) me this answer...

It seems strange that the 3 religions of our world, which have so much in common, should be so divided... you don't find Buddhists and Hindus or even Atheists argue as hotly over a personal belief as the Jews, Christians and Muslims do. Why should it be that we who have so much in common look for differences to divide?
I'm not a scholar and humbly beg forgiveness for my ignorance, but i doubt that in the Quran, Prophet Muhammad commands Muslims to denounce other religions, look of lousy followers of their faith &tc... i do know as a Christian that Jesus didn't...
I have heard that it is said Islam is "The Way of Peace"... shall we not then, brother have Peace?
A person will undoubtedly have questions upon reading of another's faith... but should not questions be put forward to people who have authority to answer them? rather than to put forth an accusatory opinion to the general public and thus raise up bad feelings and strife?

even later that nite i also wrote down an answer to his use of scripture, but i don't think i'll post it there...
