From my end, I don't believe he was a prophet any more than Jesus was the son of god or god himself.  I don't believe in prophets or god.  Beyond that, I won't say because what i have learned about and studied is nothing good.

the 10 commandments\nhttp://www.islam-usa.com/e70.htm\n\n\nregarding Moses and the Pharaoh read surah Al Baqarah\n\nhttp://www.muslimaccess.com/quraan/arabic/002.asp\n\n\nEDIT:\nOh dear, those don't even EXIST in the Quran. First, the "kill all infidels" thing is nothing more than a stupid Lie. \nthere are chapters that speak of battles between the Muslims and the Pagans when the Muslims were a minority and being oppressed. but it never said "kill all infidels" not in that sense.\n\nsecond, the "don't be friends with Jews and Christians" also is bad translation. the verse speaks of time of war, the Arabic word Awliaa was translated by some idiot to mean friends>> it doesn't mean friends, it means Protectors of faith. the idea behind it is when the Muslims made an alliance with the Jews of Madinah, the Jews betrayed them and helped their enemies (pagans) instead. \nevery thing in Islam makes sense and all it takes is the desire to know and understand things first hand.\n\nit's very important to understand the historical events behind those chapters and when you understand the context it will be clear that those verses were only addressing Muslims at that particular time and in that particular event. and NOT to be carried out without the Prophet's authority. \ni as a Muslim understand those things but the lazy majority of non-Muslims won't understand them because they are too lazy to research any thing.\nlike chapter 9 (surah Al Tawbah) which people LOVE  to quote from speaks of the battle of Badr the first battle between the Muslims and the Pagan tribe of Qurish.\n\nthere's a significant difference between the Bible and the Quran.\nthe bible has the word of God, the words of the prophets and the words of the historians all in one book. the Quran is only the words of God revealed to the Prophet and has been preserved in this holy book unchanged ever since. the history is in separate books and the oral traditions of the Prophet (pbuh) is also in other separate books.\n\nand then we have the books which contain the commentary (explanation) of the Quran and the Sunnah.\n\nso i hope you get the idea of what i'm trying to say!\n\npeace

I am afraid that that question may never get a truthfull answer. I am not a christian, jew or muslim. I hav read the Quran (parts) and have always reference it to authentic sites.\n\nThe problem is that almost no christian would be able to read it open mindly because of their obsessive believ that Jesus "died for our sins". They refuse nto see that Sura 9, which is used to ambush muslims and islam, has to do with circumstances of war and the peace treaties.\n\nAlso, they accuse islam of polygamy yet throughout the bible polygamy occurs numerous times (remember solomon). And that no jew or christian criticise muhammad becoz of his wives during that time.\n\nThe truth is that unless people try their best to understand, without their previous misconceptions, that they will never learn.\n\nPeace, God bless

Good for you for sharing that...\n\nThe Mufti of Marseille quoted the same verses...\nHe was angered by the muslim community for demonstrating against the Cartoons \n\nHe said that especially Western Muslims, have benefited greatly from Free Speehc and Free Press...\n\nHe said that those manifestations where the proof that Muslims were week in their faith because they got offended for just a few cartoons of bad tastes. He also says that Criticism helps make one strong and look at himself.\n\nHe also added: That the current problem with Islam in the West and Arab countries is that there are more and more Imam that dont have enough spiritual knowledge of Islam and they are too focused on the political aspect of Islam... Such as the Imam of Danemark that provoked the whole situation...\n\nSo you are right to ask that questions.... But very very very few Muftis and Imams voice the spiritual view of Islam...Mr. Benchek. the Mufti of Marseille is a rare gem (With Balls I might say...).

(this isn't an answer directly to the question but is just a comment on the latest answer that has been posted...)\nthe words you have written clearly speaks of your lack of knowledge in what you are supposedly trying to comment to...\nfirstly, the Bible speaks of those things, correct but it doesn't lie on the same plane as the argument being presented in the question...we don't condemn the violence in Koran or like what happened in the Bible...it is simply a question of faith and what kind of leader you are following....\n\n\nIslam: "Religion of Peace" \n\n"Those that make war against Allah and His apostle and spread disorder in the land shall be slain or crucified or have their hands and feet cut off on alternate sides, or be banished from the land. They shall be held up to shame in this world and sternly punished in the hereafter." (Sura 5.33-34) \n\n"Allah revealed His will to the angels, saying: 'I shall be with you. Give courage to the believers. I shall cast terror into the hearts of the infidels. Strike off their heads, strike off the very tips of their fingers!' That was because they defied Allah and His apostle. He that defies Allah and his apostle shall be sternly punished by Allah." (Sura 8.12-13) \n\n"In order that Allah may separate the pure from the impure, put all the impure ones [i.e. non-Muslims] one on top of another in a heap and cast them into hell. They will have been the ones to have lost." (Sura 8.37) \n\n"Muster against them [i.e. non-Muslims] all the men and cavalry at your command, so that you may strike terror into the enemy of Allah and your enemy, and others besides them who are unknown to you but known to Allah." (Sura 8.60) \n\n"Prophet, make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites, and deal harshly with them. Hell shall be their home: an evil fate." (Sura 9.73) \n\n"When We resolve to raze a city, We first give warning to those of its people who live in comfort. If they persist in sin, judgement is irrevocably passed, and We destroy it utterly." (Sura 17.16-17) \n\n"We have destroyed many a sinful nation and replaced them by other men. And when they felt Our Might they took to their heels and fled. They were told: 'Do not run away. Return to your comforts and to your dwellings. You shall be questioned all.' 'Woe betide us, we have done wrong' was their reply. And this they kept repeating until We mowed them down and put out their light." (Sura 21.11-15) \n\n"When you meet the unbelievers in jihad, chop off their heads. And when you have brought them low, bind your prisoners rigorously. Then set them free or take ransom from them until the war is ended." (Sura 47.4) \n\n"Mohammed is Allah's apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to the unbelievers but merciful to one another." (Sura 48.29)\n\n__________________________________________\n\nPeople perish because of the lack of knowledge.

Lesson #1:\n\nWho is Allah? What is Islam?\nWho are the Muslims?\nWhat do Muslims believe?\n How does one enter Islam?\n=========================================================\n\nWho is Allah? Allah is the creator. The only one. He created all around us in beauty and perfection. He begets not, nor was He begotten, And there is none comparable to him. Muslims use the word Allah in Arabic because it is a special word (it has no plural nor gender. Ie God, Godess, Gods), it means The only worthy of worship. Jesus (Pbuh) used a similar word in Arameic Ellah (or Allah) when referring to God.\n\n\nWhat is Islam? Islam is a way of Life "Not a religion". It is the path Choosen by God for all those who believe in him. Islam litterally means Submission.\n\nWho are the Muslims? The Muslims are the people who submit to God. In arabic the prefix Mu means that some action is taken, in english we use the postfix "er". In english you have the word walk, a person who walks is a Walker. Similarly In Arabic Muslim is the one who Submits his/her will to Allah.\n\n\nWhat do Muslims believe? In God (Allah)\nIn his Angels\nIn His Messengers (From Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, ..... Jesus to Muhammed, PBUT)\nIn his Books ( The Torah, The bible, The Quran, etc)\nIn the  Last Day\nIn divine Pre-destination (Everything happens for a reason)\n\nHow does one enter Islam? Simple bear witness by heart and by tongue that there is no God but God and Muhammed is his messenger! No special ceremony of any kind :)

There's quite a few parts of the Quran that's tender to Christians, and from memory even the Jews also. Many Muslims are wonderful too.\n\nIt's just that religious texts, in every religion, are open to interpretation *by humans*. Heck I live in Northern Ireland.\n\nI've read many books on conflict resluton and two of the best things we can do are, first to remember that without words an argument dies down, and secondly we should promote the good parts of our cultures. \n\nGood luck.

Jews are hated by some not for their religion but mainly becasue of the politics going around in middle east and occupation, violance, bulldozing of houses, terrorism etc. etc. Actually prophet of Islam, had a very good relationship with jews who were not fighting with him to get rid of him. He used to visit Jews when invited or when they are sick etc.

ISLAM is the Way of all of the prophets from the first (Adam, peace be upon him) to Muhammad, peace be upon him. They all called the people to submit their free choice that Allah had given them to the Will of Allah. That is what "Islam" is really all about.\n\nWhen the people begin to corrupt and change the message, they give some name to it that makes it distinct for them. Usually they chose a noun such as a person, place or thing. The examples are many, but let me mention the Hindus, from the nation of Hind, the Jews from the tribe of Judah, the Christians from The Christ, the Buddhists from the name of their Buddha. All of these are "nouns" right? So that is where they took the names.\n\nIslam is from Allah, The Creator and Sustainer of all that exists. As such, it is for Him Alone to command and direct His creation and He Alone is responsible for what He will accept and what He will not accept. It is also for Him Alone to decree what is good and what is bad and He must be the One to show the right path in all things.\n\nEverything in the life of the creations of Allah, especially for those who have choices to make (us), must be dictated and clarified by the One who Created everything in the fist place. We understand from this that Islam must be a complete and total way of living, explaining everything in the life from beginning to end and from birth until death.\n\nIslam is careful to remind us that it not a religion to be paid mere lip service; rather it is an all-encompassing way of life that must be practiced continuously for it to be Islam. \n\nThere are other injunctions and commandments which concern virtually all facets of one's personal, family and civic life. These include such matters as diet, clothing, personal hygiene, interpersonal relations, business ethics, responsibilities towards parents, spouse and children, marriage, divorce and inheritance, civil and criminal law, fighting in defense of Islam, relations with non-Muslims, and so much more. \n\nIn conclusion, we are forced to realize that ISLAM is a complete way of life for the human being. Everything is covered in Islam from birth to death to live in the complete submission to the Will of the One Who Created man in the first place. \n\n(Is that detailed enough for you?)

Why do you wish to know... will it make you happy...?\n\nIs there a point to knowing?\n\nWill it benefit world peace or is it another dig at a peace loving religion?\n\nFor the last-time [before someone places a jihad on you... Islam is a peaceful religion...] zealots that explode themselves cannot therefore be moslem...despite their perversion of the holy scripture that states they will earn aplace for themselves and their family by being a martyr for their religion... what a bunch of miguided morons!\n\nI don't believe this rubbish - neither do the vast majority of the population of this planet... no more than anyone believes the Oswald was working alone or that Clinton did not have sexual relations... It's that fundamental... there are a few thousand people - THAT'S ALL - in the whole world that believe the rot that these terrorist say.\n\nWe all really need to come up with a better solution for dealing with this problem... and I hate to say it... but the media is a lot to blame here... bad news sells... good news does not...\n\nIs it any wonder that people are becoming disinterested in politics... we cannot believe what we are being told...\n\nTherefore...in answer to your question... it is of no more interest to me.. nor should it be to you, or anyone else... what any murdering individual or group thinks... by simply refering to their beliefs and twisted ideology we give it the oxygen of publicity that spreads the fire of their hatred.

5:51 & 9:29 "against"\n5:82 & 2:62  "respect"\n\nWhat makes muslims decide how to treat those of other faiths depends on whether they have read the entire Qur'an in context, and understand it's meaning, or whether they follow the lead of haters without understanding. This can happen in any faith.

Immigration.\n\nIf you go to the bbc news website and search for 'muslims in europe' they have a whole article talking about immigration from the former french colonies, and how these people have become isolated from the wider french society - forming muslim ghettos.\n\nIts very topical and interesting - plus all you have to do is rip-off the bbc's article if you wanted to!

Jews are what came before Christians and Muslims.  They're a large and very well established "race". They have also been openly persecuted throughout written history and still today are threatened all around.  That's probably why there's so much attention.  As far as Muslims go, I don't think you would expect that much attention until the terrorism brought it to attention.  Then there were countless TV commercials telling us that Muslims were not bad people and that these acts were committed by a handful of radical maniacs, thereby bringing Muslims to our attention.  I think because of that we are learning more but there was just no reason to earlier.  We also tend to ignore the other major religiions of the world because they aren't right there in our face.  How much does the average Chinese adult know about Christianity?  I really wouldn't know.\n\nAnyway, Happy Holidays!

You have to find out how to believe in God\nJust decide and hence you will see,Just ask god to show you the right way,if you do not believe totally You should search for the best honest true religion which did not wrote by any one,You finnally will find that Jewish people wrote them bible"book' and also Christeans lost alot of the original papers of them book,also they have a lot of papers in different languages which has a lot of different meannings,If you looked to Quran"but a wise look" just ask how it came from?who wrote it? is it changed since it came to prophet Mohammed or not? also ask about if there is a man called Mohammed or not? you have to search and verify every thing.also you should look to the traditions and habits of moslims and islam?do not look to the terrorists because they are not  moslims...Just search for all of that and i am sure that you will see the right way\nGod help you,Good luck
