His Holiness Pope Benedict declares that Islam was spread through the power of sword and he finds Muslims terrorists and this philosophy of Jihad has been presented by the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad ( PBUH). I want to bring some historical facts before illumined Pope. Our Holy Prophet ( PBUH) has taught us tolerance and the lesson of brotherhood. Especially with the Christians the followers of Muhammad (PBUH) have been very friendly and regarding.
Your Holiness! Those were the days when Muslims were under the extreme suppression of the unbelievers of Mecca and the Persians defeated the Romans who were Christians . The Muslims were grieved at the defeat of their Christian brethren. Allah Almighty sent good news of the victory of Romans in the Holy Quran and Muslims were very glad at that news, through the unbelievers who were their relatives made fun of them. After Hijrah when Romans defeated the Persians this was a matter of joy and relief for the Muslims. Your Holiness! Our Prophet ( PBUH ) taught us to be friendly with the Christians. Our religion tells us that the Christians may have soft corner for us among the peoples of the whole world.
Your Holiness! When the staunch fellow of the Holy Prophet ( PBUH ) and the second Caliph of Islam, Umer ( May God be pleased with him ) conquered Palestine and Aqsa Mosque there was no blood shed and no casualty there and the enlightened and illumined Christians delivered the keys of Aqsa to the Muslims and embraced Islam. His Holiness! This is the way Islam spreads and the pious hearts accept the holy light of Islam.
His Holiness! Our Allah says in the Holy Quran,
' There is no compulsion in religion. '
(Al Baqra )
We take arms against those who spoils the peace and make mischief on the earth and we know that Allah does not love the transgressors. Muslims and Christians can be on friendly terms in the world as they have been united in Lebanon against Israelites and why are you spoiling and destroying these friendly relations by your harsh remarks against the Prophet of Islam and philosophy of Jihad?
Your Holiness! You only defend and clarify your point of views but do not seek apology from the grieved Muslims of the world. The Muslims cannot tolerate any impertinence against their Prophet ( PBUH ) Seeing any thing against the Holy Prophet is to enkindle the fury of his followers. Holy sir, you are the follower of Holy Christ who taught tolerance, patience and love for humanity and you are hurting billions of Muslims. You consider it against your prestige and honor to seek apology. You are not ready to return your words which were full of poison. Pope John Paul started a very appreciable and positive movement to create friendly relations between Muslims and Christians but you are spoiling his efforts.
Your Holiness we remind you the lesson of tolerance, humility and patience preached by the Holy Christ.
