Why would the asker lie about his religion? I also noticed a few  people couldn't answer the question referring him to scholars and yet others were offended because he asked.On the day of judgement I suppose the scholars would answer for you.

I'm curious about the role of women in the Kuran and with the religion of Islam.  Is it more cultural that women seem to be submissive?  Or is it actually written in the Kuran?\n\nbrasilianrain4@yahoo.com

Such stupidity. I am living in an Islamic country. I am a Muslim. I do recieve education on science and mathematics. I think democracy sucks, for it will always oppress the minority. My parents are a doctor and a pharmaceutical officer. My sister(that's right, a Muslim woman) is planning to go to law school. I study among Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, Hindus and many others. I found that Science brings me closer to Islam. It's mostly ignorance that covers the light of God.\n\nFact for stereotyping dumbasses:The currently second tallest building(it used to be the tallest, until the construction of Taipei 101) is in an Islamic country, and another Islamic country is planning to build the tallest.\n\nNow, may I ask, HOW MANY ISLAMIC COUNTRIES HAVE YOU BEEN TO?

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 are a large number of people who have converted (or reverted as it's refered to by Islam), it is one of the fastest growing faiths presently.  Faith is something that is very personal, and specific to the individual.  If they feel that Christianity isn't the right mode to connect with their spirituality, then they most certainly should go forward and look for one that helps them connect better.  It's very easy to be disenchanted with Christianity right now, and Islam is presented as an alternative.  Do I think they are crazy, no.  It's not my place to call anyone crazy for their beliefs.  Everyone is entitled to do what gives them peace, regardless of my personal view of that thing.

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

had you read my letters or answers you would find I have wrote some pretty nasty things about the Arabs and the Muslim religion, and I admit I was wrong not to clarify that all Arabs are bad but, when their religion teaches them to kill kill kill, I think it is \na very vile religion, the worst , as all other religions I have known any thing about teaches love, Charity, and being humane.\nbut, I and many others I am sorry to say don't always look or listen before we jump. so  if you have renounced that vile religion  let me be the first to apologize to you if I have offended you.

I always thought that converting people to Islam, is against the faith.  Basically, a muslim lives the faith, and shares the faith with someone if he/she desires the knowledge of Islam given through the Quran and its teachings.\n\nBe careful,  An "I'm right, your wrong attitude, especially communicating it across like that, is a sign of narrowmindedness and pride.\n\nI am not muslim, not for a reason against Allah or against the Quran, but because I do not studied enough information about the Quran yet. I have not read and studied it enough yet.  I have rescently downloaded it, and have begun reading it though.  It is very enlightening.\n\nI have studied Aramaic, Greek and Hebrew to correctly analyse the bible.  And I use many Greek and Hebrew concordences to understand the original meanings of the jewish and christian scriptures.\n\nPersonally, I do not believe it is most advantageous for any religion or faith, to protilize(try to convert others to there religion;but simply live it, and share it with others only if others ask questions, witha sincere honest intent.\n\nThe Quran has enough scriptural evidence in itself to defind itself without individuals having to attempt to defend the quran and Allah.\n\nI have alot of respect for muslims.  Especially the questions and answers this new person of Yahoo Answers gives out - her name that she presents herself with is Muslimah (I think).\nShe has my admiration and respect.  She has a humble and contrite spirit and mindset.\n\nI do believe Jesus to a messenger of God as well as Mohammad.  I've been reading that in the Quran, Mohammad states Jesus to be a messenger of God as well.\n\nForgive me if it appears I am judging you harshly. I am not trying to judge you,  I sincerly always do my very best not to judge others and other faiths.  But I do recall Mohammad refering to Jesus as a Messenger that spoke Gods, that is Allahs Truths !!!

My sister, please read carefully because I am an Egyptian ex-Muslim and Islam is my nightmare. Conversion is the most terrible thing for your future. You will not be able to change your religion and if you try you will be abused and threatened like you never dreamed. Killing ex-Muslims is an Islamic law. Ex-Muslims who cannot be killed are beaten, imprisoned, kidnapped, put on hit lists, or spurned by their family and friends. Most of them keep their Islamic names and religion. I must keep mine after what my parents did to me. Your rights as a Muslim woman will be very different and you will not be able to marry a non-Muslim. Ex-Muslims are in danger and this is why the world’s biggest anti-Islamic group is led not by Westerners or Zionists but ex-Muslims. You know little about Islam and you will learn good things as well as things that will shock you.  Please write me at bringdowntoearth@yahoo.com if you have questions about this. \n\n*I am a peaceful and respectful person and I have many Muslim friends. No offence. These are all facts.

Well said Carina!\n\nI'd recommend you read a little more about Deism.\n\nUPDATE:\nIn fact the very mention of your questioning religion...and see the type of responses you got. You are a humanitarian, and have spoken your honest (peaceful) mind, but people lash out with murderous vengeance!
