Fewer Americans see Islam as violent, poll finds - Holy Post

"The nationwide survey of over 4,000 adults in August found that 58 percent of Americans believe Muslims face a lot of discrimination in the United States. By contrast the same numbers for atheists and Mormons are 26 and 24 percent respectively." Ed Stewart, Reuters - Holy Post - Fewer Americans see Islam as violent, poll finds - Holy Post

"Truth will prevail. A new bright day will dawn again for Islam. The same as it did before. The sun of Islam will rise in full bloom, as it did before." (Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian, The Promised Messiah)

Despite ferocious efforts by people to trash Islam, the Holy Quran and Holy Founder of Islam, Muhammad, people can see and discern when they are being lied to - and the truth will come out. In Thomas Carlyle's assessment of 1840, in the beginning of his famous Lecture: THE HERO AS PROPHET. MAHOMET: ISLAM, we find:

"Our current hypothesis about Mahomet [Mohammad], that he was a scheming Impostor, a Falsehood incarnate, that his religion is a mere mass of quackery and fatuity, begins really to be now untenable to any one. The lies, which well-meaning zeal has heaped round this man, are disgraceful to ourselves only. When Pococke inquired of Grotius, Where the proof was of that story of the pigeon, trained to pick peas from Mahomet's ear, and pass for an angel dictating to him? Grotius answered that there was no proof! It is really time to dismiss all that. The word this man spoke has been the life-guidance now of a hundred and eighty millions of men these twelve hundred years. These hundred and eighty millions were made by God as well as we. A greater number of God's creatures believe in Mahomet's word at this hour, than in any other word whatever. Are we to suppose that it was a miserable piece of spiritual legerdemain, this which so many creatures of the Almighty have lived by and died by? I, for my part, cannot form any such supposition. I will believe most things sooner than that. One would be entirely at a loss what to think of this world at all, if quackery so grew and were sanctioned here."

"Alas, such theories are very lamentable. If we would attain to knowledge of anything in God's true Creation, let us disbelieve them wholly! They are the product of an Age of Scepticism: they indicate the saddest spiritual paralysis, and mere death-life of the souls of men: more godless theory, I think, was never promulgated in this Earth. A false man found a religion? Why, a false man cannot build a brick house! If he do not know and follow truly the properties of mortar, burnt clay and what else be works in, it is no house that he makes, but a rubbish-heap. It will not stand for twelve centuries, to lodge a hundred and eighty millions; it will fall straightway. A man must conform himself to Nature's laws, _be_ verily in communion with Nature and the truth of things, or Nature will answer him, No, not at all! Speciosities are specious--ah me!--a Cagliostro, many Cagliostros, prominent world-leaders, do prosper by their quackery, for a day. It is like a forged bank-note; they get it passed out of _their_ worthless hands: others, not they, have to smart for it. Nature bursts up in fire-flames, French Revolutions and such like, proclaiming with terrible veracity that forged notes are forged."

It would be good to hear from someone a rebuttal of the logic of Carlyle, especially now that the house that Muhammad built has survived fourteen centuries and houses under its roof some one thousand six hundred million people!
