US marine troops have complained that an inscription on the Advance Combat Optical Gunsight, used by thousands of Marines and soldiers, includes “JN8:12,” a reference to John 8:12, a Christian gospel reference: “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
The inscription on another optic includes “2COR4:6,” which refers to Second Corinthians 4:6, which reads: “For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”
Islam is coated in blood of the innocents. In the past 1400 years,
Islam has murdered 270,000,000 non believers.
80 million Hindus killed.
60 million Christians were slaughtered
10 million Buddhists died.
120 million Africans butchered.
It's the other way around in deceptions...
as a Muslim, you do not believe in historical facts unless it furthers the cause of Islam.
"Nor take life -- which Allaah has made sacred -- except for just cause. And if anyone is slain wrongfully, we have given his heir authority (to demand retaliation or to forgive): but let him not exceed bounds in the matter of taking life, for he is helped (by the Law)." [Quran 17:33]
Islam strictly forbids the killing of innocent, non-aggressive people: no hostility is allowed except against the aggressors. (Ch. 2.- v.194)
I personally think it's not, there are extremists all around the world and of different religions, just that in the past few years Islam's name has been used in a wrong way and it has led to a formation of a not so pretty image in people's minds.
