Please let me support Prophet Muhammad in the matter of oneness of religion for the entire mankind, so that nuclear threats may end at least in the sub continent. Let us be truly faithful per Aal Hamdu Li-Allah and not be fithful to so called Islamic eperts, who fail to appreciate pious Quran telling that all prophets sent by Allah were Muslims saluting Allah present in each and all, like Ibrahim, who did not support divisions as Jews and/or Christians and did not belong to a community named Muslim after about two thousand years of his leaving this mortal land and as word Muslim is defined at Surat 2/132nd Aayat as one who saluted Allah present in each and all beings, living and non-living, when none is Allah but Allah is present in each and all always.
