We all should know and understand that religions are only for God; therefore, no one has the right to judge anybody. The message of all religions is peace, tranquility, and prosperity. That is what we all should focus on. Let us think about peace and how to approach it for the sake and the benefit of humanity. We should also understand that terrorism does not have a faith. Violence, injustice, and sometimes unfair politics promote the bizarre thinking. We as people should all stand up and say no for hatred and unfair judgments for the sake of our world and for better life for the new generations.
Sincerely,
Abdulaziz

This is our greeting in Islam, and this is our message that calls for peace in the world. I am sure that there are lots of misconceptions about Islam and about the West (misconceptions about each other). For this reason and for many other reasons, we should communicate more, we are the ordinary people of different countries.
Dear American brothers and sisters in humanity,
May Allah bless you all. Allah is the Arabic word for “God”. So all Arabs (Muslims, Christians and Jews) call God “Allah”, and they all worship Allah.
I send you this message to tell you that we all worship the same God whether you call him Lord, God, or Allah. That is, what brings us together is our main goal of satisfying God, and that’s why we should all be in Love and harmony because we all walk the same talk, yet in different languages.
So, I say to all Americans, whether they believe in God or not, I love you all because you are my brothers and sisters in humanity, and I believe that God has created us all to love each other and live in harmony and peace, even when we are different in our beliefs, and even when some of us don’t even believe in God in the spirit of Whom I love you all.

Why am I living? What is the greatest feeling I ever felt? Is there anything behind that blue carpet between clouds? I believe that the first human “thinker”, when he satisfied his basic needs, he started in some way asking these questions. That is exactly when god raised his voice with justice and equality, with religions that started growing in the hearts of prophets, people with a feeling of heavy responsibility on their shoulders. Generation after generation, wars have been killing many of us in the name of living, whereas politics (the person that shakes his hand with god and devil) is not directed toward humanity, but money and power of countries. Here it comes the question:
Can we go back to ourselves, putting our hands in our hearts, on each other[‘s] souls, and drink that cold water, love.

We have received your message and are delighted to hear someone this young has such great thoughts. I also have a six year old daughter. She also awaits the end of these wars.

I also ask that you pray and struggle for their end.

Dear Friends and American Brothers and Sisters,
What you have seen about us via the media does, I am sure, hurt your emotions. Us Pakistanis are definitely not what you hear. Our Prophet Muhammad’s message says that “Islam is a Religion of Peace, Security and Prosperity.

American Bretheren, may you stay forever happy,
Having heard your feelings has left me very pleased. The actions of your Government are not truly representative of the American People. Instead, the [Bush] Administration, in a fit to enhance its own self-interest, has tried to sow hatred against Muslims amongst your people. In Islam, there does exist a Freedom of Religion. And we ask that you, by means of your media, tell your leadership that Muslims are not happy with their policies, and conflict with Muslims is not a good a thing.

“A Message to Western Scholars and Thinkers”
Islam is a vast, all-encompassing religion, and it sends a message of peace to the entire world. Western Propaganda is against Islam. The Prophet Muhammad is an excellent example of peace, as witnessed in his conduct during the Liberation of Mecca. He extended amnesty, even to people like Abu Sufyan, who had violently opposed him for years. And he overlooked the hostility of others. He announced that “I have granted security to all of you.” He turned toward the Holy Ka’aba and exclaimed that “the Sanctity of Human Life is more important than the Sanctity of this Holy Shrine.” Today, several Western Powers are seeking to defame Islam. Even though the Final Sermon of our Prophet is displayed in a place like Bradford, conveying forever to the world, a Message of Peace.--

“A Message to Our Christian and Muslim Brothers living in America and the Western World from the Religious Scholars of Karachi.”
We believe that Islam is a Religion of Peace, Love, Justice, Brotherhood, Tolerance and Equal Human Rights. And that it does not grant any Human Being the right to harm another in their Life, Property or Dignity. Those people that are involved in violence, fanaticism, extremism and hatred do not belong any Religion - they are simply terrorists. In order to combat this hatred, all peace-loving, moderate people should stand united in an optimistic, common struggle. And we should aim to establish justice and equity in our world. We understand that the world can no longer bear wars for Nationalism, Religion, or Ethnicity. For the preservation of Humanity and peaceful co-existence we need to work together.

More Messages from the Muslim World
Dear all be it a christian a muslim a hindu a sikh a buddhist or a jew. We need to understand that all religions terminate at the one God we all believe in. How we address our God and believe in him and pray to him is our personal decision. No one has the right to judge another human being or question his or her beliefs. We need to learn to respect ourselves first and then the people around us. Islam today has been labelled as a terrorist religion, even though it is the most moderate peaceful and liberal religion of all which talks of equality between man and woman. It talks about forgiveness tolerance and love among all. Violence is not Islam. Neither is terrorism. We need to live and let live and stop interfering in each others affairs to a point where hatred and frustration become the focus of our relationship.

Dear Brothers and Sisters
One of the main principles of Islam is peace. It encourages human beings to reach the greatest level of mutual understanding, cooperation & love. Through diversity in race, color, gender which creates an interest in mutual interaction between humanity members.

Dear friends,
In my opinion the most important thing to promote peace & justice between our both societies is first to recognize the difference between us in terms of culture and neutrality and goals in life; and second to accept this difference, because it is the product of both history & geography of both societies & which is different from one another.
Diversity of culture contributes to richness of culture, & will make the world stronger and healthier.
We invite you to visit our countries without previous ideas or previously set judgment. We will be very happy to welcome you.

In the Name of Allah the most Beneficent
The most Merciful
First of all very much thanks to Americans, rest of the world and specially 6 year-old Kate, and Rebecca Cataldi.
I pray to Allah (God) to see the whole world, as a peaceful place for all.
My name is Saif. I live in Karachi, the biggest & most important city in Pakistan.
I’m very glad, by the moment, when I read deeply, your valuable gift in the form of your lovely comments for (the) Muslim world specially for Pakistan. It maximized the same feelings in my heart for all of you, as you expressed for us.
As I agree, that, there are a lot of misperceptions, among us. Your messages led me (to be) encouraged & opened a door to share our feelings to each other. As a believer in Islam I never left hope, and I’m sure, this attempt is an opportunity to get peace by dialogues. These dialogues, exchange of ideas through mails or workshop, etc., could (be) much helpful and could play a vital role to resolve all misperceptions.
By this great opportunity, I just like to start, to exchange the actual & mankind friendly interpretation about JIHAD (The Holy War). It is a misperception in (the) west, that it means, destroy all things in (the) west and all people should be killed without any reason. Actually the word means STRUGGLE. The Holy Prophet (Sallal-la-ho-Allahe-Wa Sal-lam) interprets us that.
“Struggle to provide justice, food, & health for all, and without priority of religion or tribe.” It was highly appreciated by the people, wherever, the followers of Islam reached and informed (aware) about it.
Therefore, this is a historical truth that all human beings get rest, when this great interpretation applied by the Holy Prophet (SAW) Hazrat Mohommad and his every follower. And this is also an alive truth that all constitution of warfare countries are based on it. Even in the Norwegian Constitution this clause is named by Umer’s Law. He, Hazrat Umer Farooq (RA), the 2nd immigrant leader, elected by Democratic Roles, after 2 years and (a) few months of the Holy Prophet Hazrat Mohommad (SAW).
It is a common belief of all believers, in any religion, that every next prophet, (who?) purified all perceptions, & orders of Allah, those became impure. It happened because of dishonest people, when they entered, & became religious personalities. All Prophets (Allah-him-us-Salam), informed the same about Allah (God), and preached the people to love the whole mankind, & respect the ideology and religion, to each other.
Please accept our heart feelings. I hope it will be continued and also hope, we’ll get all misperceptions about (the) east & Islam, through emails, workshops, etc. It will help us to get actual interpretations, to stop its harmfulness.
May Allah (God) bless all of you and your families,
May all family members of Allah (God) get rid of all fears,
May Allah make this world (a) happier places like heaven.
Deeply heart blessings & Love, for all.

I would like to emphasize on the important part of keeping in touch, communicate through current technology, exchange our experience. Learn from each other. We do believe that not all American people are George Bush—you are kind, friendly people.
Wish that you enjoyed your time with us—hope to see you soon.

First of all, we love American people very much, we hope for a good future to our children, without war.
We want the Americans to accept the other.
We request America as the superpower to stop the double standards regarding the Arab-Israeli conflict.
Islam is the religion of tolerance and peace and love.

Dear friends,
In my opinion the most important thing to promote peace & justice between our both societies is first to recognize the difference between us in terms of culture and neutrality and goals in life; and second to accept this difference, because it is the product of both history & geography of both societies & which is different from one another.
Diversity of culture contributes to richness of culture, & will make the world stronger and healthier.
We invite you to visit our countries without previous ideas or previously set judgment. We will be very happy to welcome you.

First of all very much thanks to Americans, rest of the world and specially 6 year-old Kate, and Rebecca Cataldi.
I pray to Allah (God) to see the whole world, as a peaceful place for all.
My name is Saif. I live in Karachi, the biggest & most important city in Pakistan.
I’m very glad, by the moment, when I read deeply, your valuable gift in the form of your lovely comments for (the) Muslim world specially for Pakistan. It maximized the same feelings in my heart for all of you, as you expressed for us.
As I agree, that, there are a lot of misperceptions, among us. Your messages led me (to be) encouraged & opened a door to share our feelings to each other. As a believer in Islam I never left hope, and I’m sure, this attempt is an opportunity to get peace by dialogues. These dialogues, exchange of ideas through mails or workshop, etc., could (be) much helpful and could play a vital role to resolve all misperceptions.
By this great opportunity, I just like to start, to exchange the actual & mankind friendly interpretation about JIHAD (The Holy War). It is a misperception in (the) west, that it means, destroy all things in (the) west and all people should be killed without any reason. Actually the word means STRUGGLE. The Holy Prophet (Sallal-la-ho-Allahe-Wa Sal-lam) interprets us that.
“Struggle to provide justice, food, & health for all, and without priority of religion or tribe.” It was highly appreciated by the people, wherever, the followers of Islam reached and informed (aware) about it.
Therefore, this is a historical truth that all human beings get rest, when this great interpretation applied by the Holy Prophet (SAW) Hazrat Mohommad and his every follower. And this is also an alive truth that all constitution of warfare countries are based on it. Even in the Norwegian Constitution this clause is named by Umer’s Law. He, Hazrat Umer Farooq (RA), the 2nd immigrant leader, elected by Democratic Roles, after 2 years and (a) few months of the Holy Prophet Hazrat Mohommad (SAW).
It is a common belief of all believers, in any religion, that every next prophet, (who?) purified all perceptions, & orders of Allah, those became impure. It happened because of dishonest people, when they entered, & became religious personalities. All Prophets (Allah-him-us-Salam), informed the same about Allah (God), and preached the people to love the whole mankind, & respect the ideology and religion, to each other.
Please accept our heart feelings. I hope it will be continued and also hope, we’ll get all misperceptions about (the) east & Islam, through emails, workshops, etc. It will help us to get actual interpretations, to stop its harmfulness.
May Allah (God) bless all of you and your families,
May all family members of Allah (God) get rid of all fears,
May Allah make this world (a) happier places like heaven.
Deeply heart blessings & Love, for all.

We need to understand…each other in cultural and religious states of (the) other as partners.
