The Bad and the Best in the Eyes of Prophet Mohammed (s.a.w)

Wicked Muslims, such as the Salafists and the AlQaedian demonoids, are largely the descendents of Al-Khawarij. Yusair b Amr ( r.a.), a Companion of Prophet Mohammed (s.a.w.), had reported that Sahl b. Hanaif once answered him that he had heard Prophet Mohammed said of Al-Khawarij while pointing his hand towards Iraq: "There will appear in it (i.e. Iraq) some people who will recite the Quran, but it will not go beyond their throats, and they will go out from Islam as a arrow darts through the game's body" [to maim and kill the innocent]. (Bukhari). Even to this day, this prophecy of Prophet Mohammed rings very true!
That is why the awakened Saudi Islamic cleric and scholar Sheik Salman al-Oadah (Osama's mentor and one-time favourite pamphleteer for jihad) has recently complained about Osama and attacked him and his supporters for helping many people see Islam as a religion of terrorists, and of evil, backwardness and violence, when in my view it is such a good religion. (re: www.islamtoday).
Over in UK, these Islamic terrorists are methodically targeting vulnerable young people and children. They are radicalizing, indoctrinating and grooming them to carry out acts of terrorism.
On the other hand, the Hadiths have recorded that Al-Mistawrid al-Qarashi, a Companion of Prophet Mohammed( s.a.w), had heard him said, "Christians are THE BEST in looking after the poor, the orphan and the weak; that they are the most understanding people in times of fitnah (crisis) [like present times]; that they don't humiliated kings they capture [such as dragging them or their dead bodies around, like what Al-Qaedians and the Talibans love doing, when they have the chance]...." Al-Muslim.
Why did Prophet Mohammed (s.a.w) say such nice things about Christians, truths that contradict the lies that many Muslim leaders are smearing Christians with, and then blaming Christians for the evil they themselves did to their own Muslim people? Because Allah had declared to him through Archangel Gabriel, that He is the One who has put compassion and mercy in the followers of Jesus, Son of Mary. Al-Hadid 57:27. In fact, Jesus is recognized in Islam as Masihi Isa (Jesus the Messiah).
For once, it is actually good for Muslims to see that Prophet Mohammed (s.a.w) is in error: that Christians are better than Muslims. Not necessarily true! If Muslims can put the Prayer of Prophet Suleiman into their warm hearts, and recite it everyday, they will not only be as good as Christians; they can be better than them. In this way, I'm sure Prophet Mohammed would be more than happy to be proven in error! In fact, no Muslim can call himself or herself a true Muslim if he or she rejects or refuses to recite this wonderful Quranic prayer with non-Muslims who find it so good, something that the AlQaedian demonoids hate so much!
Prophet Suleiman had prayed: "Inspire me, Lord, to be thankful to Thee for Thy favours to me and my parents to do good deeds that please Thee. Admit me through Thy mercy to be among Thy righteous" An-Naml 27:19. "For the noblest in Allah's sight is he who is the most righteous." Al-Hujurat 49:13.
Once Muslims can break out of their benighted mindset and can believe that Prophet Mohammed (s.a.w) is as fallible as every human being that Allah has created, and not put him equal to or more than equal to the infallible Allah, they would be able to deliver themselves from this great sin (haram) and the curse of blasphemy and Isthlal, in that Mohammed, being a fallible man, is being virtually deified by Muslims as infallible, whose honour transcends that of Allah's.
Isn't this ridiculous? And yet so many Muslims feel compelled to commit murder and killing of innocent Muslim and non-Muslims just to be able to defend and uphold Prophet Mohammed's honour, but not Allah's! If Islam is that strong and peaceful, it will need the beauty and proof of the Prayer of Prophet Suleiman, not those sex-hungry AlQaedian demonoids and the Muslim murderers and thugs to mass-slaughter Muslim children, women and men the shameful and disgusting way they do in Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Darfur, etc---just to defend and uphold Islam. Ridiculous! Yet, non-Muslims slaughter their pigs in a more dignified way than Muslims slaughtering their own innocent Muslim children, women and men!
So it's that simple, dear Muslims! They need to ask themselves how is it that their allah is so weak that he needs evil people to help him kill innocent Muslims? How is it that allah and his agents lose in every firefight with non-Muslims for so long, and have to go hiding in Afghan many caves with that Osama, the coward! And all his angels are sleeping on their job?
The fact is, my Allah doesn't need anyone to help Him; not so for that divine imposter. Allah can do everything very well on His own power and wisdom! Therefore, I want every Muslim to memorise with me another Quranic verse, that "Allah is Able to do all things [by Himself]." At-Tauba 9:39. "Lo! Those who are of the devil's party will be the losers....those who are of Allah's party will be the successful ones (like President George Bush and company, and the Muslims who truly honour Allah)." Al-Mujadala 58:19,22. "For VICTORY COMES ONLY FROM ALLAH, the Mighty and the Wise One" Ali-Imran 3:126
So it is sad that when it comes to honouring Allah in their lives, many Muslims, like the American Muslim Amir Khan, aren't too keen to do so. On the contrary, they seem to prefer dragging or allow to be dragged through filthy muck the honour of Allah's Name. Why, Muslims, why? When are you people going to wake up and learn how to think and submit to Allah's will, and stop trying to make Allah the servant of the twisted will of the Great Muslim Ummah?
It has to be repeated that the failure of Muslim societies worldwide (with exceptions of course) and their lack of achievements and abysmally low-ranking in most/almost every area of human endeavours worldwide is due to their lack of faith in the goodness of their Quran! So Muslims must show through their thoughts, actions and lives that they have stopped or would want to stop believing what an ancient Byzantine emperor had believed: that Prophet Mohammed (s.a.w) brought nothing new to the world, except evil, violence and backwardness. If many, many non-Muslims found their Quran so good, why should many Muslims feel or think otherwise and resort to hating, threatening and murders as their way to defend their Quran and their Prophet (s.a.w)?
But there is one area where Muslims need to see that Prophet Mohammed (s.a.w) was in error when he said that Christians are better than Muslims. If not, I'm afraid Muslims are choosing to condemn themselves to be forever inferior to Christians. Then they have themselves to blame, not Christians or other non-Muslims, if they find themselves often leading the world the wrong way up in almost every human endeavour, and bringing upon themselves the dreadful Curse of Isthlal!
If Muslims choose to be inferior and hateful, why on earth should any one strive so hard just to be inferior to almost every other people? Might as well do nothing! In this way, Muslims need not have to become more evil, backward and benighted. Why should they?
Muslims must start to think for themselves, if they have not already done so, in the way Allah wants them to; and join with the non-Muslims to show faith in the goodness of their Quran. For example, this Noble Book has repeatedly stated that Muslims can find light and guidance in the Injil (Gospel of Jesus) and the Torah (books of Prophet Moses), as they are a guide and an admonition to the righteous. Al-Maida 5:44-46. The Quran affirms that if Muslims observe the Tawrat(Torah) and the Gospel of Jesus, and what was revealed to them by their Lord, they shall enjoy abundance (blessings) from above and from beneath. Al-Maida 5:65.
The Quran has declared that it is the Christians, not the AlQaedians or the Salafists, who are the nearest in affection to the Muslims. Al-Maida 5:82. If the Quran-spouting and toting AlQaedians are so close to the Muslims and acting in the interests of the Iraqis, they wouldn't have taken away the tender virgin daughters of those helpless Iraqis in forced marriages for a foretaste of the free sex they really believe they would get with 72 voluptuous virgins in Paradise after their successful suicide bombings of innocent Iraqi Muslim children, women and men with their chlorine and other vehicular bombs.
Over in Afghanistan, the Taliban demonoids are using children as human shields to help allah launch attacks on innocent Afghan Muslims and Coalition forces who are sent there to protect and help Afghans rebuild Afghanistan.
Strange jihad, isn't it? Just compare this to the jihad that President George Bush did---despatching his immense warship of supplies and soldiers to render succour to the grief-stricken Muslim Acehnese who were devastated by the tsunami. The Muslim clerics there believe that the tsunami was sent by Allah to punish the Muslims there for their failure to implement Sharia law. I do not believe in such nexus because Aceh has always been the most Islamic province in Indonesia. Where were Osama and the AlQedian demonoids then when they were not having a good time enjoying sex with the tender Iraqi virgins they had taken away in forced 'marriages'?
Paradoxically, many of those Iraqis, who are now enthusiastically helping the Americans in droves, are also the ones who were only recently happily helping these sex-hungry AlQaedian demonoids blew up American humvees, tanks and soldiers who were sent out into the Iraqi streets trying to help and protect the Iraqis. If only those Iraqis have shown earlier faith in what their Quran and Hadiths have to say about Christians, rather than listening to the lies of the AlQaedians, the Sadrists and their benighted religious leaders, etc, they would have spared themselves much evil; and Iraq would never have to face any problem becoming another Kuwait, Japan, or Germany or SKorea, etc, countries which were made rich and successful by the blessed military might and kindness of the American superpower! But it is better to be late than never. May God bless America!
So what every Muslim needs is not democracy, but the Prayer of Prophet Suleiman to be put into their warm hearts to help them draw closer to Allah, the wise, the merciful and the mighty one: "Inspire me Lord...to do good deeds....to please Thee...." And what every demonstrator in America should rally for is to get everyone to say this miracle prayer too, and not waste their time demonstrating to help the enemies of Islam in their futile attempts to defeat America and destroy true Islam! Then the American troops can come home earlier---in great honour and jubilation too!
