I cant belive what I just did!

I feel like venting here.
I am on facebook as well, and I was invited to join an muslem group, I cant yet read arabic. I am part egyptian. Was brought up a muslem.
So no supprises for being invited.

But I feel very disheartened, I felt I had to write something on their wall and I hope they dont end up taking it the wrong way.
The thing that bothered me was I saw an I hate Isreael slogan. And it really disturbed me. As much as I do understand the problems of the middle east very very well.
It bothers me that in this month of Ramadan which I used to do for about 15 years. They can still hate fellow man, man that they have not met.

I dont normally have outbursts like that, but I feel that some of what I said was channelled. I have an idea where it came from. I was the typist, and most of it did come from source.

I will probably get banned from the group on facebook, but I hope it allows just one person to think about it, if its just one person then its better than none huh!

I just feel that if everyone is so stuck in their ways that the cant even stop and listen to what they are saying it just because they have been saying it for a long time and probably dont even notice they do it.

I feel like how are we going to progress when there are people still stuck.

But I have probably answered my own question. Personally I do like Islam, its a good religion, it was ment well. But like everything things move on and what was relevent once although not relevent now but there are still values that I take away from it.
This is hard because I have gone from Islam to this, and I do feel a cetain amount of protectiveness towards it.
But I think what I feel protective towards is the core... not the bits that have been edited.

Does anyone else feel this way? Am I wrong to feel this?!

This is what I wrote:-
I cant read arabic, not yet anyway. But I have one thing Id like to say.
How is hate ever the answer. To hate is a strong word. To hate someone you have never met.
So are you going to say you hate all Israelis?!
Are you going to hate a whole group of people just because history dictates?!
History is of course important and relevent, but isnt it time we learn from that. Learn the mistakes at the past, hasnt it gone beyond who's fault it is now and try to draw a line. Try to start fresh.
Islam promotes forgiveness and tolorence. It seems this is one thing that seems to be lacking.
Islam is a beautiful religion. And its these qualities that make it beautiful.
But please dont get caught up in politics. Since when has religion & politics ever gone together.
I dont mean to cause offense...but if it is offensive then why is it?! what makes it offensive?!
I think deep down if admitted or not it will be thought about.

I think if we stopped protesting that we are all right and actually listen to the other person, actually listen to the others concerns thats what will make humanity unite.
What do we want? To live as we are, to carry on blaming everyone else. I think its time we all take responsibility for whats going on, not just Israel. As possibly they are as mis guided as the rest of us. Rather than hate, replace the word with love.
Just because you love someone doesnt mean you will like them, but you could feel differently, after all they are your fellow man.
It takes one person to change and another to listen and want to help.
The problem with change is it scares people, it scares the norm. If you have been thinking one thing for centuries you probably dont know why you think it for yourself.
Ask your selves one thing during the beautiful month of Ramadan. How can I contribute to positive change?! You will get your answer.
Lets start repairing this world .
Love & light.

Anyway that was what I wrote, do you think it was too much?!!!

Thankyou for reading....

Love to those that read, love to those that dont.
To accept or not to accept choice is yours.
