Paulo Coehlo a famous journalist from
Brazilia speak in defence of Quran the Holy Book of Muslims.
When the famous American Historian and
Writer Michael H Hart write his famous book "The 100" where he claim
that Hazrat Muhammad(PBUH) is the greatest personality of the world. On his,
this true statement, Muslim appreciate him very well but on the other hand
conservative Western people criticize him in a very cruel and unethically.
The same situation has been faced by famous
writer Paulo Coehlo, who is the writer of world's best seller book "The
Alchemist" which create records of best sales, when he post the picture of
the Holy Quran on his facebook page with the caption "The Books, Which
Changes the World". His post has been liked by more than 40 thousand
people and share more than 5 thousand. But beside of this some extremists start
criticizing him for this action.
When criticisim go on rise Paulo come to
the discussion and defend Quran with logic.
Paulo write while criticizing to Christians,
"It this not truth, I am Christian. For centuries we try to impose
Christianity by sword.Check the meanings of word "Crusades" in
dictionary. Does not we murder women by declaring them as Dines? Does not we
try to stop the way of scientific development? We should not blame religion but
to those who distort the religion.
According to Paulo Coehlo, every religion
teaches for peace, tolerance, equality and pity but there are followers of the
religion who distort the teachings of religion for their own purposes. I am
agree with Paulo that every religion teach for peace and tolerance and then
follower of that religion distort its teaching for their own materialistic
goals.
Like, Jewish change the teachings of Hazrat
Moosa(A.S) for their own interests and start worshiping the cow when Hazrat
Moosa (A.S) go on Koh-e-Toor. They didn’t accept Christ as messenger of ALLAH
only because he criticise them on their ill doings.
After Jews, Christians also stop acting on
the teaching of the Holy Christ who’s teaching was to behave others with peace
and respect. They start spreading Christianity by sword. In fact they were
trying to expand their state on the name of religion. There was a long fight
between Crown and Church and also between Catholics and other sects of
Christianity.
Same happened with Islam. As Islam introduce
the concept of “Jihad”. Basically Jihad is a fight against wrongdoing and to help victims of cruelty but
some ill minded people distort the teachings of Islam and change this holy
concept of Jihad to fulfill their own interests and benefits.
The need of the our is that we tolerate other religions and there should be
dialogue between religions instead of conflict between them.
