I feel  after reading and analysing historical facts that Muslims are devout and they belong to finest religion on earth.But most of the Muslims are fundamentalist,they don't want to live in peace whereas they should live in peace as they are guided by Holy Koran,the best guide for human beings on this earth.

I can go for ever, that shows how much stupid you are, historical facts my a**

Muslims pride themselves on the fact that their religion has not changed in its 1400 year history.  In other words, they think it's great to live in the Middle Ages.\n\nIslam needs a reform movements, similar to t hose that have occurred in Judaism and in Christianity.  It has made the mainstream of both of these religions much more tolerant and humane.  \n\nIt really is a pity.  At one time, Islamic countries were more tolerant than Christian ones.  But you have to go back seven hundred years ago to find that.  So it wasn't in the lifetime of anyone living today, that's for sure.\n\nI have nothing against individual Muslims, but they belong to a religion that has some very hateful teachings.  And I do get fed up with the hypocrasy, and the distortions, and the lie that Islam is a religion of peace.  Sorry, but there's way too much evidence to the contrary.

hi \ni totally understand what u are sayin, see the main problem is that most ppl who read the Quran, interpret it in the wrong way, or sometimes they just make up stuff, like some say that killing others will lead u to heaven, that is made up stuff, Islam teaches us to accept all other races, religions and to respect them, no matter what the religion, if the person worships God, respect them, If the person worships the devil, respect them and their religion.\n\n\nif u have anymore questions or r confused feel free to reply

I dont think Islam respects anyone who doesnt see like they do, which may be true for other religions too, but "death to the infidels" is a uniquely Muslim idea that may bear upon the poor image.

For your information dear sir, the Islamic religion should be eradicated from the face of the earth because it is essentially evil. There are 26 chapters in the Quran that deal with Jihad, death and destruction of non-Muslims.  Some of the data is hideous and cannot be found in the Christian or Jewish books of religion.  Add to this all other modern religions as well. Mahammud advocated the cutting off of an Infidels neck.  He also advocated cutting off fingers of both hands if a person would not become a Muslim.  Want more?  A Muslim cannot ever leave the faith for if he/she does she is to be killed. Muslims should never mingle with Christians or Jews because they will become contaminated. More? Muslims are required to convert all non-believers to the Islamic faith in a Jihad if necessary.  Killing the non-believer is permitted, even sanctioned. The reward for killing non-believers who will not convert and if you are killed while doing so is instant removal to heaven and the Gardens above where 72 virgins are awaiting you.  I can go on.  It gets even gorier.

I am afraid you did not even discover this "wonderful" world of Islam by yourself. Muslims are severly misled by their scholars who try to twist historical facts. Please read Bukhary, Muslim and Quran by yourself without using interpretation from scholars and you will find many violent actions that should be denounced.

Excellent question.\n\nI am not a Muslim, but I have to commend you on your logic.  Makes perfect sense.\n\nWhat I said actually means that few people are able to discern such logic.  You're going to be ridiculed.  Get used to it.  Those same people will believe the Muslims did the 9/11 thing when it is obvious they did not.  I'm confident you are aware of this.  Write me if I am wrong, noting of course that I realize you are not buying into the Muslim faith.\n\nI would recommend however, for some intense research, that you look into the Koran in greater depth.  Seek out a western interpretation by someone who has done in-depth research and you will be impressed.  It's not completely whacky.  The truth is though, all religion feeds off the other.  Very scary to be honest with you.  Makes a soul wonder what the hell is the truth?

everyone believes they are right, and also feel that others should believe the same. the problem isn't that there is no tolerance. Take Christianity for example, if you believe and I don't, you go to heaven and I go to hell. on the other hand, for fundamentalist denominations of Islam (some of them) feel that if you believe and I don't, then I will go to hell, but YOU will go to hell if you don't convert me. so that certain aspect doesn't help things....

Not all Christians feel that way about Islam. The ones that do are influenced by the media. Many of them pick the areas of the Quran that mention Christians that stand against Muslims. Not many of them have ever even held a copy of the Quran in their hands. Real Christians give love to all. They know that God is in control. You are right all beings upon this earth are brothers and sisters, with God as our most wonderful Father. \nLove & Light\nOne Planet = One People

I like how the islamic people who answered the question keep saying, "don't listen to people who say bad things about us."\n\nI don't believe islam is, in and of itself, a bad religion. I just think the fringe in this religion is more tenacious than the fringes of other religions. There are christian psychos but they're not blowing themselves up in Saudi Arabia or the UAE. There are jewish fanatics but they're not blowing up christian churches.\n\nI think the stigma towards islam is, and muslims cannot deny this, if you look at almost every major violent conflict in the world, islam is somehow involved: india v. pakistan, israel v. palestine, russia v. chechnya, bosnia v. serbia, east timor, philipines, etc. etc.\n\nSometimes the muslims are the victims but often they are the aggressors. From an outsiders perspective, though muslims are peaceful, they do not seem too tolerant of others views.

muslims believe the world is rightfully theirs, its just a matter of time. They are allowed to lie about their religion in order to take it over. It is no wonder that they say they are a peaceful religion while in every single country where muslims are in control the Christian are persecuted and martyred. This is going on right under your noses. go to Africa or india and see whats happening to the christians in those places where the muslims are in control

well what I think is that, the ppl that are prejudice are simply scared to admit there mistakes that they have done. I do agree with everything that u said because it is true but ppl just dont understand that. It is sooo true how the media turns everything around and sooo many ppl misunderstand. I mean look at the Oklahoma bombing with Timothy Mcveigh was he not a catholic and was his religion called a terrorist religion, was everybody that was related to Mcveigh and that was Catholic a terrorist, No right, but if a muslim was to do that everyone would blame every other Muslim on earth right, but the people that do these kind of actions (terroristic) and call themselves Muslim are not considered Muslim, they have acted on their own they know straight up that it is against the Islamic religion that it is wrong what they do and if they decide to go against it they are not considered Muslim

dear!\nur question is very good.it shows u are an understanding guy.\nIslam is the last religion in this world.u know time changes some thing and improves them.Mohammad was the prophet of Allah like Jesus but the last one.muslims believe all of the prophet and respect all of them.muslims worship God as a one God.all of the religion have sent from Allah for help people live happiness and peace.Islam learn we must love God and his creature.and believe we will live in another world after death and in the last day we will become relive for eden or hill life.Isalm say us God love all of his creature and humans and he is the nearest one to all of us.he help us and protect us and he want we live whit love and peace and happiness.\nin every religions it is possible some people dont do every thing God want them and some of them come to the wrong way bc they havent understood the religion recommend but there is some people they live in best way God want them in the religion.\nif u have other question ask me.\nbe happy and health.

Islam is a way of life.  Muslims practice their religion everyday, in everything they do, where as in christianity they practice every sunday.  Following the five pillars of islam will put u in the right path.

They're humans. DUH.\n\nOh, they live in a resource-poor area of the world, so they need a strong social system to survive. Hence the fervent adherence to dogma, the overpowering influence of the macho/revenge motive (to prevent unwanted children draining group resources) etc.\n\nThe Quran is a recent extrapolation of their faith, which probably underwent a useful transformation when Mohammed first inspired Islam. Unfortunately, once the prophet died, the old priesthood managed to corrupt Islam enough that it supported the old pre-Islamic socio-religious systems instead of replacing them.\n\nI could say the same thing about Christianity, and have. So I'm not ragging on Islam alone. Heck, MY faith is in the same boat, except on PURPOSE.

Islam is a peaceful religon, like most others.  It's the way humans interpret the teachings that cause problems.  Islam also states that the religon should be defended.

I think people look at all muslims in the same light as the extreme muslims which is sad. It is understandable why but we don't look at all white people the same and there are alot that are bad eggs. I don't think all muslims are treated harsh more likely they are watched and analysed.
