"If the Prophet Mohammed had asked me to deem Christians or Jews heretics, I would have deemed Mohammed himself a heretic," Sheikh Ahmed Hassoun, the Mufti of Syria, was quoted as telling a delegation of American academics visiting Damascus.Hassoun, the leader of Syria's majority Sunni Muslim community, also told the delegates that Islam was a religion of peace, adding: "If Mohammed had commanded us to kill people, I would have told him he was not a prophet."

Pastorius,
If this guy's actually speaking from his heart, I hope some crazed Jihadist isn't able to find him and kill him.
"Mohammed said in his Hadith: 'The Hour [Day of Resurrection] will not arrive until you fight the Jews, [until a Jew will hide behind a rock or tree] and the rock and the tree will say: Oh Muslim, servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him!'"
This sounds like taqqiya to me but I hope it's not. If he's telling the truth some "misunderstanders of Islam" will certainly find him and have his head.
How Taqiyya Alters Islam's Rules of War
"Taqiyya offers two basic uses. The better known revolves around dissembling over one's religious identity when in fear of persecution. Such has been the historical usage of taqiyya among Shi'i communities whenever and wherever their Sunni rivals have outnumbered and thus threatened them. Conversely, Sunni Muslims, far from suffering persecution have, whenever capability allowed, waged jihad against the realm of unbelief; and it is here that they have deployed taqiyya—not as dissimulation but as active deceit. In fact, deceit, which is doctrinally grounded in Islam, is often depicted as being equal—sometimes superior—to other universal military virtues, such as courage, fortitude, or self-sacrifice."
as they say . . .read it all!
Noah David Simon,
I guess the Mufti didn't read that verse.
Anonymous,
I am well aware this could be some sort of Taqiyya.
However, I also am well-aware, because I have friends who are Arab Christians from the ME, that many Muslims are becoming Christians, and in fact, many Imams are too. They do not leave their positions as Imams, but instead, keep them so they can preach a more peaceful ideology to the people. If they left their positions, they'd be replaced by normal Imams. They talk in backrooms with Muslims who are open-minded, and help convert more Muslims.
Pastorius - I pray you are correct and that there are MANY muslim converts to Christianity (or any other faith) quietly going about their business of peaceful worship. I honestly do believe that many of these people simply want to honor God - sans any cultural supremacist bull shit. However, these converts will have no standing when the sh*t hits the fan. All it takes is one individual to become suspicious enough to instigate more pious blood hounds to begin the heartless purge.
Twelve types of Taqiyya
Anonymous,
An Egyptian Christian friend of mine tells me "We are winning". He means we are converting Muslims by the millions.
I have no way of knowing whether what he says is true.
Islam is the true religon of peace.
Mohamed is truely the prophet of mercy and peace. Prophets do not speak from whims. He and his companions were tortured in Mekka for 13 years and did not even fight back. In Medina he was encountered by the jews who wanted to smash the new religion. So he defended God's religion and his Daewa. So the jews wanted to hurt the pure religion of God. Now also they are fighting the Muslims and it's not the opposite. Also before the advent of resurrection the jews will start the agression against muslims and even against all humanity and we have to defend ourselves. The problem is that they are already KILLING and executing massacres against Muslims and they reverse it by accusing us that we intend to kill them. The west knows the truth but they agree with the jews because they don't want them to go back to Europe and other countries where they belong, because they know their ill-doings and bad history against their own countries. Look what they are doing to the Palestinians and Arabs. Look what they are doing to the humanity by instigating and triggering wars in the region by the same pretext as explained above. If the West (Europe and USA) keep listening to them then they will bring devestation to the entire humanity. Look what they did to the WORLD ECONOMY!
