"Brother Mahmud, I must disagree with you.  The article lacks the balance of recognizing many historical facts of, not only Islam, but other religions as well.\r\n\r\nBrother Ahmed does not mention the very serious issue of takfir.  He recounts instances of \"members of the Islamic faith\" being the victims of attacks.  But those perpetrating the attacks say the victims are apostates and not Muslims at all. Takfir.\r\n\r\nBrother Ahmed goes on to contend that no religion \"ever has\" demanded terrorism.  This is a historically factually incorrect statement on the part of the author.  Simply open any Christian bible to the first 5 books and you can easily read that Judaism invoked both terrorism and genocide to take the lands they call Israel from the indigenous peoples of those lands.\r\n\r\nNor is anybody blaming Brother Ahmed or his family for any violent attacks.  But I do say that his blanket denial of the factually major role of religion in such attacks only serves to provide support to the likes of Trump and Cruz in their prejudiced rhetoric."
