Islam is indeed one of the best religions in the word. First of all it is clear that none of the religions including Islam preach non-voilence. Islam in its purest form is applied to clean oneself and make one pure. Jehad used to mean 'revolution to bring around internal change to attain oneness with Allah'. But now we all get to see a different truth. The so called muslims (Taliban, Osama etc) would'nt even no what Islam really is. Today small children are taught non-tolerance and hate against other religions. Only when Muslims understand how beautiful their religion is will peace prevail in this world. A sect of Islam called Sufism allows a Muslim to attain the highest spritual enlightment. But what would the Osama's know this. This is the truth and its so unfortunate.

Hi Santa!
I’ve abridged something from the weekend paper about moderate Islam.

Sufism: a Muslim in the Middle Hopes Against Hope
By CHRIS HEDGES

IMAM FEISAL ABDUL, the leader of the Masjid al-Farah mosque 12 blocks north of the World Trade Center site, is a man increasingly caught in the middle. He preaches a moderate Islam, one that embraces the values of Western democracy, carries within it a love of America and calls on Muslims to respect other faiths. He condemns suicide bombings and all violence carried out in the name of religion. He meets regularly with Christian and Jewish leaders, not only to forge a common front but also to explain his belief that Islamic terrorists do not come from another moral universe - that they arise from oppressive societies that he feels Washington had a hand in creating.

"I see myself as a kind of marriage counselor," he said. "I am not here to condemn one side or the other, but to tell Muslims what they must do differently and tell Christians and Jews what they must do differently. I want people to understand the things that have fueled this violence against us - not to excuse it, but to work to find ways to stop it." But the world seems to be conspiring against him. The continuing conflict between the Palestinians and the Israelis, the bloody hostilities in Iraq, the beheadings of American hostages and the anger sweeping the Muslim world are creating a polarization that is becoming harder to stem. "I try not to be a pessimist," he said, "but things are not getting better."

Imam Feisal grew up in a polyglot world of cultures and languages. Both parents were Egyptian. His father was a religious scholar with degrees from Cambridge University and a doctorate from the University of London. He directed Islamic centers in Malaysia, Kuwait, New York and Washington, educating his five children largely in English as they moved across time zones and cultures.

Imam Feisal found his place in Sufism, a mystical branch of Islam. After graduation, he taught in New York public high schools and worked in a real estate investment firm. None of these jobs gripped him, but his passionate embrace of Sufism filled his life with meaning. In 1983 a Sufi sheik from an order in Turkey asked him to head a small Sufi mosque in New York. Since then, his mosque, whose name means "divine ease," and his role as imam have consumed his life. He had little to do with politics before the 9/11 attacks, working on building the small congregation and doing the usual counseling and preaching of a cleric. But afterward he felt compelled to speak out. Islam, he felt, was widely misunderstood. He says he believes that Islamic terrorists are not obedient to the teachings of the prophet Muhammad, or what he likes to call the "Abrahamic ethic" common to Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
