Art. #1:  WHAT IS ISLAM?  Islam is not a new religion, but the same truth that God revealed through all His prophets to every people.  For a fifth of the world’s population, Islam is both a religion and a complete way of life.  Muslims follow a religion of peace, mercy, and forgiveness, and the majority have nothing to do with the extremely grave events, which have come to be associated with their faith.

REBUTTAL:  Agreeably, Islam is a not a new religion; it was invented in the 7th century by a man named Muhammad ‘bin Abdallah of the Arabian Peninsula.  For Muslims, he was the last and most holy of God’s prophets, and Allah’s voice on earth.  For those doubting this divine appointment, Muhammad supplied several revelations from Allah to prove it!  

Yes, Muslims are sometimes peaceful, merciful, and forgiving of other Muslims, but these qualities are seldom shown to non-Muslims (infidels) in countries controlled by Islam.  And yes, the majority of the world’s Muslims had no part in the attacks on the World Trade Towers, the Pentagon, numerous attacks on our embassies, or even the daily atrocities committed in the name of Allah.  Indeed, there are probably only around 250,000 to 300,000 Muslims who have graduated from the various terrorist training camps over the last twenty years, including several camps in the U.S., some of which are still operating!  But, compared to the estimated 1.2 to 1.4 billion Muslims in the world this figure is numerically insignificant!  This should come as a great relief to our readers.
