A Gandhi of Islam?

Well, his first name couldn't be Mohandas, it would have to be Oxymoron.

[Dr.Hilarious]

The Gandhi of Islam went into one of the World Trade Center towers.

Denying this is wishful thinking.

"When a nation, a race, a political movement, a group of workers, the followers of a religion have legitimate grievances, there generally arises amongst them a champion who can command respect for his advocacy of peace, his willingness to fight without weapons and to win by moral authority. There may be many such grievances for Muslims in Britain, and in the West, but we are still waiting for the Gandhi or the Martin Luther King to give them the right voice."

Islam is not conducive to such thought and hence engenders no such thinkers. Anwar Sadat gave it a try.

[ncountylee]

There is none. The least harmful would be in the useful idiot category!

Where is the Gandhi of Islam?

Probably beheaded or stoned to death before he ever had a chance.

"Islam and terrorism don't go together."

They're one and the same.

[Betaille]

In order to inspire people to further a cause non-violently... you first must have a cause worth furthering.

Where is the Ghandi of Hinduism?

He's dead. Assassinated.

[OKIEDOC]

I believe some depraved cleric chopped off his head for not acting like a savage.

[captain_dave]

He was beheaded last year in Iran, don't ya' know.

"If you look at the Koran, you will find many glorifications of violence. In Sura No 8, for example, God is quoted as saying: "I shall cast terror into the hearts of the infidels. Strike off their heads, strike off the very tips of their fingers!" This punishment comes to them for having "defied God and His apostle". It seems reasonable to ask Muslims what this sort of remark means in the modern world.'

This arguement assumes that Mohammad is a true "prophet" and thus his invocation of the Lord is without doubt. Well I am sure two billion plus christians may beg to differ.

[layman]

Islam will never produce a Gandhi or a Martin Luther King. The more the world is exposed to Islam the more it is despised. Islam is destined to the trash heap of history. Personally I'm glad they were stupid enough to start the inevitable 'holy war' before they had the means to win it.

[Reader of news]

What about Karzai, Jaafari, Allawi, Abdullah II...?
