But i feel there's always a non violent and more civilized way to solving conflict. Just look at the Islamic world today. For decades violent resistance has led us to no where (granted it is necessary at times) but in the last several months non violent resistance in the Muslim world has achieved what a thousand various resistance organizations never could image. Just my $0.02. Good point Ian. But i feel there’s always a non violent and more civilized way to solving conflict. Just look at the Islamic world today.

I just want to add something that wasn't elaborated upon too much in this article. It is true that we should follow the example of the Prophet (s.a.w.a.w.s.) when in dire times but I feel that the example of the woman throwing trash upon him every day was not relevant enough to the current situation. The distinction that I see is that when people trampled upon his rights he didn't take action but when the rights of his loved ones were trampled upon then he responded in a more expedient manner. So when somebody walks up to one of us and calls us a "towel head" or worse, we can just laugh it off, say God Bless, or the like. However, in this case it is our Prophet (s.a.w.a.w.s.) that they are insulting and misrepresenting so I think we should take a more pro-active -yet rational and dignified- approach. Salaams Ehsaan,

We should all take that as an example. Allah swt says in the Qur'an in Surah Furqan (Surah 25) Ayah 63: "And the servants of (Allah) the Most Merciful are those who walk on the earth in humility, and when the ignorant address them, they respond with, "Peace!""
