An Open Letter to Muslims

I know you, as a Muslim, hear many things from people who are not Muslims. I know you are told many other things by those who are your leaders about people who are not Muslims. And I know you are told what your prophet, Mohamed, has told you to do in the name of your God, Allah. But have you ever thought about what you're being told?

Mohamed has told you that you are to bring about paradise here on Earth by converting all the people of the world to only believe in Mohamed and to submit to Allah's will -- but Allah cannot do it alone, he needs his people (Muslims) to help with the conversion. And the conversion cannot, apparently, be by personal choice alone.

Oftentimes, people are told that they must submit to the will of Allah or suffer tremendous pain or death. What sort of God is this that rules by fear and destruction? Do you believe your God wants you to kill and destroy people that refuse to follow him? Do you believe your God wants people to follow him only through fear of pain or death?

What sort of God wants only to rule by force? What purpose is there in this world for love if your God will have none of it? Wouldn't it make more sense for your God to want people to worship him? Why would your God give people free will if he did not want people to actually to be able to exercise that free will?

And another note for those who would jihad to obtain a "reward" in heaven -- you don't need to die for your God, because He already sent his only son, Jesus Christ, to die for you. His son died for you -- no matter what you have done, no matter how "good" or "evil" you have been -- he died for you, so that you would not have to.

Please do not hesitate to email me if you have any other questions about Him.

4 Correct -- but what does that say about Allah? Can this God really want that for his people? I'm telling Muslims there IS another way -- a God of love, not hate.
