hahahahahha... dude you're a laughable parody of an intolerant bigot..
You say that non-muslims are supposed to be second grade citizens.. so the only thing that matters is whether you pay lip service to the right religion. It doesn't matter what you actually believe, but only what you SAY you believe.. I'm really sorry, but in my world an honest hindu ought to have greater rights than a corrupt muslim. In my world a christian who prays to God with a pure heart ought to have greater rights than a mullah who sells drugs. In fact in my twisted world a man must be judged by his actions and not by his religious affiliation.
And nowhere in Islam does it say that a non-muslim is supposed to be treated as an inferior. Regarding the non-muslims there is only admonitions that they harm themselves by not accepting Islam. There is pity for them, but no hatred. There is a clear instruction that they must be taught and led towards the light, but not forced. Non-muslims are ALSO creations of Allah, and he loves ALL human beings equally. I am sure you know of the hadith/qissa of the woman who did everything wrong in her life and was never a muslim, but she was sent to heaven merely for giving water to a thirsty dog. So the idea is that God does not hate or despise those who do not accept Islam. He only pities and encourages muslims to help those who do not know better. And even then he judges humans on their actions and not on their stated affiliation. Where the hell do you get the idea that they should be treated as second class citizens??
Can you tell me where it is stated that non-muslims must be second rate citizens??
THere is no punishment for being non muslim. If you are a believer you would think Being a non-muslim is punishment enough in itself and feel love and pity for those who do not believe. TO be angered or insulted by those who do not believe speaks of a weak personal belief.
ALso btw if there are people in your vicinity who do not accept Islam then it is YOUR fault and not theirs. It is because you are unable to provide the shining example that a muslim must be in order to convert those around him. Your anger at non-believer around you is an expression of anger at your own inability to be the muslim that one would wish to follow.
Now if YOU are at fault for not showing the light to non-muslims, then who gave you the right to punish them by making them second grade citizens?? Nobody, that's who.
I believe that Allah/God/Yahweh/Bhagwan/whichever name one gives to the Supreme Creator created this world. As do most people in this world. They may not call their belief what you call yours but that does not mean they don't pay homage to the Supreme Creator.
You ask whether i am muslim... I say i am.. But you will say i am not.. so what??
And if you say i am non-muslim does that make me any less important, any less capable of good deeds and prayer to God, any less worthy of life than you?? If you say yes then you are guilty of the hubris that since the begining of history has been the undoing of empires. You are NOT better than i no matter whether you say i am muslim or not.
And btw as a muslim one's primary concern is with ALLAH'S CREATION. That means not just muslims, but ALL HUMAN BEINGS. It means all living things, our environment our flora and fauna and our planet. The holy Prophet (pbuh) never sought the benefit of muslims at the cost of non-muslims. He was the leader and his concern was for ALL the members of his state. Likewise with the 4 Khalifas. They were not small minded bigots like you who only cares for his tribe. they were leaders of humanity and cared for ALL.
Lastly you ask whether muslims are treated as second grade citizens in the rest of the world. I can certainly assure you that IN NO WESTERN COUNTRY is a person barred from higher office based on their religion. IN NO CHRISTIAN COUNTRY can you be arrested for preaching your belief( save for those who preach violence). In NO CHRISTIAN COUNTRY does your religious affiliation make you a second grade citizen..
Yet in "the land of the pure" a non-muslim cannot become president even if he wins popular elections. Here a non-muslim cannot preach his belief. Here a non-muslim cannot expect to win a case against a muslim on account of the fact that a muslim's testimony counts for more than a non-muslim's.
DO not give me this BS about discrimination against muslims. Even where there is social discrimination, there is NEVER any legal or constitutional discrimination.
