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 Quran and quoting its 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.
Who killed thousands of aboriginal people in North America and Australia in
order to occupy their lands and properties?
Who killed millions of South Americans?
Who killed millions of human beings in World War I?
Who killed 6 million Jews during World War II?
Who killed 2 million Polish Christians in World War II?
Who killed 6 million Chinese during the invasion of China?
Who killed 2 million Cambodian during the civil war?
Who killed more than 2 million Filipinos during invasion of Philippines?
Who killed more than half million Tibetans during the last 6 decades?
Who killed more than 2 million Vietnamese during the Vietnam War?
Who dropped chemical and biological bombs on Vietnam?
Who dropped nuclear bombs on Japan and killed thousands of people in Hiroshima
and Nagasaki?
Who killed more than 2 million African Christians in Rwanda, Sierra Leone,
Burundi and Congo within the last two decades?
Who made more than 9.5 million human beings refugees in Africa?
Who is killing and confiscating lands from White farmers in Zimbabwe?
Who invented the nuclear, biological and chemical bombs?
Who sells the most sophisticated bombs and the best killing machines to the
world?
Who killed hundreds of blacks in America and did not consider them as human
beings until 1960s.
Who are White Supremacists?
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 Quran, 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 Quran (it is not Koran, it is
Quran). We are here to help you. We, as Muslims do not hate Gods 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
