Foreword
Problems are treasures.
(Japanese proverb)
We have many problems. Different faiths acting violently against one another. Overpopulation. Diseases that cannot (yet) be fought. Poverty. Hunger. The ruin of the environment.
Different faiths acting violently against one another?
In this our land, let everyone find salvation in his own fashion.
Frederick the Great
There is enough for everyone's need, but never enough for the greed of a few.
Mahatma Gandhi
Verily, those who believe, and the Jews, the Christians and the Sabians – whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day and does good – they shall have their reward with their Lord, and they shall neither fear nor grieve.
Muhammad [2:62]
Christians and Jews are dhimmis. Protected people. People of the Book. Books such as the Torah or the Gospels.
Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord.
Accordingly, all extremist Muslims who want to force all believers into the House of Islam with sword and fire are surely sinners.
Let there be no compulsion in religion, for the true teaching is clearly distinct from error. Muhammad [2:256]
