This is the most ridiculous thing i have read in a long time. You have got to be kidding! You want 1.6 Billion people to pray a certain way and change their entire lifestyle because of a few lunatics?  As far as what should be recited in prayers, just so you know, the Qur'an has 114 surahs (chapters) and 113 of them start with " In the name of God, the most Merciful, the most beneficent" and every single prayer ends with "May the peace and the Mercy of Allah be upon you".   Having every single donation by Muslims being investigated? Com'on! And as far as making Hajj just for Muslims, well only Muslims can perform Hajj. And there is no way, any other requirement can be attached to Hajj as  far as being a militant  or to agree to any ideology/Philosophy, the only requirement is to be a Muslim, changing that would be contrary to the religion, unIslamic and not going to happen.  While we are at it, how about we make guns illegal in every single state, since every single day, some lunatic can buy one and murder innocent civilians? [/quote]

Muslima, I've read your previous posts and I admire your commitment to defend your faith.  I simply think that the daily practices of Muslims should include more prayers about nonviolence.  Why then did neighbors in Mosul turn on their Christian bretheren? Why did they take their homes, jewelry, and property? Because those Muslims are evil? No, they were not all evil.  Because they were opportunists? No, not that either.  Because they were afraid of ISIS? Yes, fear is a part of it all -- but at the end of the day, they turned on Christians because they are Christian, and they are [i]akafir[/i].  The violence was justified to expand Sunni power, which necessarily meant crushing Yezidis and other minorities.  Ensuring the survival of Sunni Islam meant the physical and political elimination of their enemies. If enough Muslims said this is NOT islam, we are NOT going to do your bidding, then perhaps IS would have stopped in its tracks. Don't forget that IS was initially welcomed by the Maslawis.

Please do not discount what is happening in Iraq and Syria (as the example I'm using in this thread) as simply the collective acts of loonies and crazies. They've got historical precedent and they are trying to restore the religious and political sovereignty of Sunni Islam across the Levant.[/quote]
