The Holy Quran teaches Brotherhood and Peace

There is a misconception about Islam that, it encourages terrorism. But it is wrong in all aspects. To be more honest it spreads peace and develops brotherhood among all human beings. Islam believes that none is above the creator Allah and everyone is equal before Allah. A simple example to demonstrate is the way Muslims pray five times a day. All are made stand in rows with shoulders touching. At this time even poor man can stand beside a king. Such is the equality practiced in Islam. Prophet Mohammed (pbuh), when talking about wars said that children, women, old age and sick people should be spared; a believer should fight only those who have the equal power as him and is ready to fight against him. Such is the policy of Islam on fight. It teaches peace and brotherhood but there is a false prejudice against Islam in recent years and this must change. Before saying any allegations against Islam one should know what Islam says, the Holy Quran is guidance for all Muslims, in fact it is meant for all the human beings, which says elaborately about peace and brotherhood. If anyone reads it and understands it fully then that person will not say anything wrong about Islam.
