This causes concern among the Muslims or should I say it pee's them off big time. The issues where the Western interest is involved get an immediate response in terms of concrete action. Whereas issues like Kashmir and Palestine remain unresolved even after the passage of a long time, the UN resolutions not withstanding. Check this out:

A Struggle for Survival Against Colonial Settlement Project

Prologue:

In yet another act of deceit, Sharon is trying to justify his war crimes against a virtually defenceless Palestinian population as a legitimate situation of self-defence against "Palestinian Terror".He ignores the whole history of the conflict by focusing on the latest acts of desperation that pushed the Palestinian people into the corner without any hope for a decent life as equal human beings with equal human rights.

Since Tuesday 11th September the blame for the Terrorist attacks in America has been placed on Islam and the Muslims. Muslims have been accused of being terrorist, violent and fanatics.

Islam has been portrayed as a religion that supports and promotes terrorism. As a result Muslim individuals, Mosques and Islamic centres have been attacked, abused and humiliated throughout the World.

So, have America and its allies, the media and the ordinary folk of the western world declared a war against terrorism or is it against the Muslims of the world and the faith of 1.2 billion followers worldwide?

One should ponder seriously over the following crucial points:

Whether you are a Muslim or not you have to admire and appreciate what Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) has given to mankind. Let's see what the non-Muslims have to say about him:

Michael H Hart.

'The 100: A Ranking of the most influential Persons in History'. New York: Hart Publishing Company, Inc. 1978:

'My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world's most influential persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but he was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular level.'

Encyclopaedia Britannica.

11th Edition: 'Muhammad was the most successful of all religious personalities.'

Quran: The Living Miracle

The Quran is the literal word of God and not the work of any human being. It is the living miracle revealed to Muhammad-messenger of God (peace be upon him).

It was revealed 14 centuries ago but mentions facts only recently discovered or proven by scientists.

'Yeah, yeah…whatever. You're bound to say that, you're Muslim… innit!' OK lad, here's the deal: if I can't convince you in the slightest that the Quran is the word of God then I'll pay for the tickets for united's next match…and I'll even chuck a donner in there for you.

'Wa-heyyyyy….this should be fun.' Lets check it out:

Islam For The 21ST Century Dude!

"…Islam is out of date. It's 1400 years old, man…. And it's out of touch for today's society…" That's right… and I'm the Queens mum (…really…), Posh Spice can sing and Michael Barrymore is straight!

Listen mate, Islam is for all times and is the only faith, ideology and system, which deals with each and every aspect of life. Islam gives us a clear viewpoint on modern issues in the 21st century from abortion to homosexuality, organ transplantation to human cloning, and euthanasia to contraception. In this issue we will deal with abortion, homosexuality and promiscuity.

ARE U SEX MAD???

So, what does Islam say about promiscuity? …prom what! - errr… that's sleeping around to me and you mate, you know one night stands, the dating scene and so on .
