It's interesting to see how conflicts rise in religions when really there is absolutely no need for conflict. "Wherever you turn is God's face." is something which has a world of meaning. After all it really applies to anything which exists, which includes the intangible. By that logic even others religions are a part of God, and if you hate and discriminate against that it's really just infringing on someone's ability to appreciate existence in their own fashion.
Fundamentalists of all religions do things this way and why is something I can't really comprehend. Especially because of the importance set on appreciating everything around and given to them.
I also don't understand where anyone gets off criticizing a religion without ever learning anything about it. Take, for example the rumor running around that Obama is a Muslim. My response to that is and? If anyone took a glance at any of the source material of a religion it wouldn't be a problem.
"Whoever knows himself knows God" really contemplating that it means that all people can know God regardless of their religion, I think. After all what part does faith play in knowing who you are. Religious beliefs, which don't call for the discrimination of others, help one better themselves and in turn become something which is indeed closer to God though, so maybe that was more what Muhammad was thinking. However, the people who when talking about Muhammad or Islam and go straight to terrorist really need to read up before they open their mouths.
A different religion doesn't make any one inherently bad.
