		It is an Internal Crusade by Muslims themselves against Islam through their ignorance of faith, its teachings and practices, widespread illiteracy, loss of self respect and dignity, a demoralized and defeatist existence, acceptance of corrupt dictators, and centuries of silence in the face of threats to their land, property, self, and even faith.
		Islam is a peaceful, tolerant religion that seeks to bring peace, justice, and rationality to humanity.
		These are some of the thoughts that come to the minds of readers around the world when they read objections by a member of a western Foreign Office to a visit by a female citizen of that country to Israel and Palestine.

	Abusing the word "Islam" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The Nation of Gods and Earths (5% Nation of Islam) is apparently an offshoot of the so-called Nation of Islam.
		It suffices to refer back to the essence of Islam which is the Uniqueness of God: any concept of man becoming god, worse yet a Hindu god who is one out of many, is false according to the Qur'an.
		On this, Islam is uncomprising, hence this error of the Ahmadiyyas is the foremost indication of their exit from Islam.
