Originally Vasu Murti Prabhu posted this as a comment to the article India's Imams urge Religious Respect, imported from Kripamoya Prabhu's blog The Vaishnava Voice.

I find this topic sufficiently important, especially at this time, when public opinion tends to consider Muslims in general a bunch of savage terrorists. Using relisgious teachings to justify political aims and tactics that are completely irreligious in nature isn't something today's 'Islamic' terrorists invented; think of the medieval crusaders, or the 'Holy Roman Inquisition,' per example.

There's already several posts about Christianity and vegetarianism on Vasu Murti's blog; this article provides arguments for devotees preaching to followers of Islam—I mean those who really try to understand and follow it's teachings; if you find yourself opposite some hardened terrorist, a kalashnikov or HK5 would probably be a more suitable argument.
