Re: [mukto-mona] Mercy is an important trait of Muslims

Prophet has mandated Muslims to be merciful----This might be a hadith, but the holy verses of Qur'an instructs other wise, vide, e.g., Surah IX:5 - 10.  (May) Peace be upon him is inherently a prayer for a restless person.  It might have been an Arabian prayer reserved for persons they considered messiahs.  The history of Islam portrays Muslims as merciless bandits originating in Arabian deserts or the infertile steppe land between Asia and Europe.

Logically such custom is redundant, because he is already at peace being the most favorite person of Allah. I believe this is what they were asked to do, and they just follow that without question.  

Now, Prophet has mandated Muslims to be merciful, yet so much violence we see even in the Muslim majority countries, like Pakistan, Iraq, etc. Most of these violences are caused by orthodox religious people. Almost everyday in Iraq, you will see 50/60 people are dying due to sectarian clashes. Here is the irony - orthodox Muslims may forget to be merciful, but they never forget to pray for Prophet's peace.

I have been thinking about a question for a while. While I have been quite vocal about injustices and atrocities that are being committed in the world by Muslims, using, misusing and abusing their religion, I generally do not criticize the specifics of the religion. As I wrote quite a few times, the religions do not have to be perfect, and we cannot go back in time to change any of the so-called revelations or words of wisdom. What I advocate is for people to use their own common sense to follow what is worth following, and discard what is stupid and hateful.

 

Now the question to the serious Muslims. Why PBUH (Peace Be Upon Him) after Mohammad, the prophet of Islam? He is supposed to be the most favorite human that God (Allah in Arabic) almighty has created, according to Islam. Of all humans, he is supposed to have the most peace already. He certainly does not need any human's wish. Why do humans wish him peace? Saluting him, calling him great, etc., I can understand from a believer's perspective. But wishing him peace does not make sense at all. Any logical answer to this simple question that I am asking with absolutely no malice?
