It is a very GOOD piece of writing.
It is a fluently expressed article. However i guess there are two mistakes
1.there were the twin towers of New York and one of them had a plane flying into it.
>how can a plane be flying in a tower, it was hanging.
2.The loss of life, the shattered lives and the many people who
> i think i should be and many people (no need of'the')
It is a beautiful poem, just the last line doesnt rhyme either i should be ask or thank, two words together dont give a good impact.
ask is better in my opinion.
OVERALL Its a poem full of expression and emotion
It was a moment of consideration for me when i went through your article. You have really big misconceptions about Islam. According to you,
"There are words clearly written in the Quran that say if a Muslim cannot convert someone to the faith, he/she must kill the infidel."
This is not so. i would like you to read some of the verses from the HOLY QURAN which will clarify my point.
>[22:39] Permission (to fight) is given to those upon whom war is made because they are oppressed, and most surely Allah is well able to assist them;
This verse lays down the precondition for all war in Islam: there must exist certain oppressive conditions on the people. The Creator unequivocally orders us to fight oppression and persecution, even at the expense of bloodshed as the following verse shows (translation),
>[2:190-192] And fight in the cause of Allah with those who fight with you, and do not exceed the limits, surely Allah does not love those who exceed the limits. And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from where they drove you out, and persecution is severer than slaughter, and do not fight with them at the Sacred Mosque (in Makkah) until they fight with you in it, but if they do fight you, then slay them; such is the reward of the unbelievers. But if they desist, then surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. And fight with them until there is no persecution, and religion should be only for Allah, but if they desist, then there should be no hostility except against the oppressors.
Moreover, Sayyed Qutb, a famous Muslim scholar eloquently discusses the notion of jihad and self-defense in his book Milestones,
"If we insist on calling Islamic jihad a defensive movement, then we must change the meaning of the word `defense' and mean by it `defense of man' against all those elements which limit his freedom. These elements take the form of beliefs and concepts, as well as of political systems, based on economic, racial, or class distinction."
I hope the above quoted verses from Holy Quran will give you an idea that Islam doesn't allow for the killing of infidels as long as they are not oppressors.
Kindly, try to have a complete knowledge of what you are writing, it may lead to more misconceptions what we write without proof.
thankyou
