Note: This is not an article, but my response to a bigoted letter in circulation by a fellow Muslim. He is sending this to thousands of Muslims across, and I have responded to the same groups.- Mike Ghouse

An Imam in Dallas had posted a similar item a year ago, I asked him to share where he sees the mistake? A pastor in Dallas called Quran an evil book, and I asked him to show me where and how – both of them ran away.
As a Sunni Muslim ( I don’t like that label- I would prefer just Muslim) , I do not believe Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmed is a Messiah, but I respectfully regard him as one of the learned Ulema’s of Islam who has given some great explanations to understand Allah’s hikmat (wisdom) in Quran. He is one of the great teachers of Islam.
There is no embezzlement here, Quran is their book as much as yours and mine. Your are neither God, nor his assistant to pass judgments about other Muslims. Please don’t commit Shirk – God alone makes that call, and not today, but on the day of judgment. You and I have no right to judge others about their faith.
I thought you were a rational guy, an engineer. Why have you fallen to this political hate by a few Muslims towards other Muslims?
Islam is not about winning and waging wars or “Triumph of Islam over other religions” – that is not Islam, Islam is about establishing peace and justice for all of God’s creation with humility. God does not like arrogant men – The God who is rabb (creator and sustainer) of the universe, and not your property.
Thank youmike
