Re: Open letter to Rev. Pat Robertson
Rev. Pat Robertson,
On November 26, 2002 you gave an interview to Martin Savidge of CNN. Your interview proves that you certainly need help. I am sure you realize that telling a lie is a sin in Christianity. In your interview you tried to misguide and misinform people by making wrong remarks about “Jihad” and peaceful nature of Islam. Just reading the translation of Qur’an and quoting it’s verses out of context is a big dishonesty and immoral.
Without going into details I would like to ask you the following questions. I am sure you know the answers of these questions. These facts are in the history books written by Christian authors.
1. Who killed thousands of aboriginal people in North America and Australia in order to occupy their lands and properties?
2. Who killed millions of South Americans?
3. Who killed millions of human beings in World War I?
4. Who killed 6 million Jews during World War II?
5. Who killed 2 million Polish Christians in World War II?
6. Who killed 6 million Chinese during the invasion of China?
7. Who killed 2 million Cambodian during the civil war?
8. Who killed more than 2 million Filipinos during invasion of Philippines?
9. Who killed more than half million Tibetans during the last 6 decades?
10. Who killed more than 2 million Vietnamese during the Vietnam War?
11. Who dropped chemical and biological bombs on Vietnam?
12. Who dropped nuclear bombs on Japan and killed thousands of people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
13. Who killed more than 2 million African Christians in Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Burundi and Congo within the last two decades?
14. Who made more than 9.5 million human beings refugees in Africa?
15. Who is killing and confiscating lands from White farmers in Zimbabwe?
16. Who invented the nuclear, biological and chemical bombs?
17. Who sells the most sophisticated bombs and the best killing machines to the world?
18. Who killed hundreds of blacks in America and did not consider them as human beings until 1960s.
19. Who are White Supremacists?
20. Who did not consider women as persons until 1940s?
I am purposely not asking you about the killings of millions of Muslims in Bosnia, Kossovo, Chechnya, Kashmir, Palestine, Russian Federation, Iraq, Afghanistan, China, India, etc.
Can you please prove that the most of the above holocaust and genocide of human race were not caused by the people who claimed to be Christians? Non-Muslims also created the other genocide? If you are interested I can send you a longer list of all the holocausts and genocide caused by the people who were not Muslims?
Rev. Robertson, I propose that you and I have a dialogue. You should bring a list of all the killings carried out by the Muslims throughout the history and I will bring a list of all the killings caused by the non-Muslims. And let us compare the both lists. I am confident that I can prove that the killings carried out by the Muslims are negligible compared to the killings carried out by Christians and other non-Muslims.
On behalf of Islamic Supreme Council of Canada (ISCC), I would like to invite you to visit Canada and we will arrange an open town hall meeting to discuss your issues with Islam. ISCC will pay all your traveling and lodging expenses. If this is not possible for you, please let me know when and where you can meet with me to have a dialogue and I will travel to your place on my own expenses.
I strongly believe in bringing together the followers of Christianity, Islam and Judaism. These three great religions have more in common than the differences but people like you are destroying these efforts.
Rev. Robertson, your ignorance about Qur’an, Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) and Islam is so deep that you do not even know the basic beliefs of a Muslim. You do not even know how to spell Qur’an (it is not Koran, it is Qur’an). We are here to help you. We, as Muslims do not hate God’s creation. It is a requirement of our faith that we like for others what we like for ourselves. We just want to educate you about Islam so that you can be a better person.
In the past we had asked Rev. Franklin Graham, Rev. Jerry Falwell and other Christian leaders to attend our course Islam 101 in Toronto and ask as many questions as you want about Islam and Muslims. But please do not badmouth about our religion in the media. We do not have access to the media as you do. We, the Muslims living in Canada and the USA know that the media in North America is NOT FREE. In the third world countries, the dictators and the governments control the media while the Western media is controlled by the rich and strong interest groups. Had the media in the west free, Muslim leaders would have gotten the equal chance to respond to the comments made by the people like yourself.
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon. Seasons greetings to you and to your family and friends.
Thanks
Syed B. Soharwardy
“Honourable Kings, Presidents and Rulers of Muslim Countries
The recent fall of one of your colleagues, Saddam Hussein and his regime has a big lesson for all the rulers of the Muslim world. As Almighty Allah says in the Glorious Qur’an, Hence, take a lesson O the people possessing insight (59: 2).
Earlier, you had seen the disgraced and humiliated fall of King Raza Shah of Iran, Eidee Ameen of Uganda, President Suharto of Indonesia, and several other rulers of the Muslim and non-Muslim world.
These rulers never imagined that such humiliation and destruction would fall upon them. You too are not immune from such humiliation and destruction? Today, you may be in the good book of US government but you can be removed from this good book at anytime.
US government will never let the American interest sacrificed over yours or your country’s interest.
For US governments, Muslims and Muslim governments have been and will always be like a napkin.
When they are needed, they can be put on the eyes and the cheeks but when napkin becomes dirty or torn it goes into the trash. What makes you think that, soon or later, you will not be trashed by the US?”
This guy is certified Al Qaeda.
Those numbers are too vague when there are so many variables involved within them.
islam has murdered many millions more, and it’s islam that is the common denominator in every event.
That letter is a joke at best, but more likely, a PATHETIC attempt at a RED HERRING.
Good try though, if you were trying to be obvious...
