TIME MAGAZINE'S HATE PROPAGANDA
AGAINST ISLAM

Muslim Beliefs and Actions Both Superior
This reminds me of a conversation I had one day with a committed Christian. He asked me what I had to say about Jesus Christ (Sayyidina Isa, peace be upon him). I told him we Muslims love Sayyidina Isa, peace be upon him, as a Prophet of Allah; we have to pronounce his name with respect, not just Jesus Christ, but we have to say Sayyidina (Our Chief) at the beginning of his name and alaihissalam (peace be upon him) at the end of his name. I also told him that there is a whole sura (chapter) in the Qur'an on Bibi Maryam alaihassalam (peace be upon her). As Muslims we have to believe in the miraculous birth of Sayyidina Isa alaihissalam, that he talked while still a baby, that he cured the crippled and lepers and that he made dead people alive with the Will of Allah, the Glorified and the Exalted. Then I asked him, what do you have to say about Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him? For a full half minute he was silent and then said, "Actually we are very intolerant". Can Time magazine be intellectually honest and admit as much?

This is in the realm of the belief system. Then we come to the realm of practice. Compare the way the Mughals and the British ruled India. The Mughals intermarried with Indians, the British never did; the Mughals set up their capital in India, the British never did; the Mughals had Indians as their advisers and appointed them to top positions, the British never did; the Mughals adopted Indian customs and spoke their language, the British never did; the British stole the choicest diamonds and rubies from India and studded them in the British crown in England, the Mughals never did. Similarly, the Arabs in East Africa established their capital in Zanzibar and intermarried with Africans to produce a whole new race, the Waswahili and a whole new language Kiswahili. Not the British, about whom Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, the first President of Kenya said: "We had the land and they had the Bible. Then they told us to close our eyes and pray. So we closed out eyes and prayed. When we opened our eyes, we found that we had the Bible and they had the land". Apparently, Time magazine's 6 gram brain is not up to such analysis.
