Of course not...Islam has more and more mistakes, but Muslis scholars twist and add and add. thne they claim other religions faked and fubricated and they are the last best religion.....look all the rules, see how it is plain and makes no sense.\n\nPrayer, very repeated one, that makes human far from spiritual and praying to God....why God would want you to say same thing on and on and on just like a boring song said everyday same and same.\n\nlook cruel punishment, discriminations against women and all that stuff that makes you sting..  it's hard religion, it's absolutely doesn't suit other places.\n\nWell, you asked "why you don't like Islam" and then you added, you are ordinary people....\n\nI don't like Islam...but definitely I love Muslims.  cuz if I don't like Islam, that doesn't mean I hate Muslims!!! \n\nIslam is wrong simply, plaigarize many from bible, rediculate other religions, encourage hatred, violence and impose rules over the head and blood of others. put its rules, holiness more important than bloodshed.  it destruct our countries, divided people.... Islam full of mistakes and cruel punishments.  do you agree of whipping, cutting and these inhuman actions.  unfair, and discirminations against women.  \n\n\nThis is my opinion on Islam, please Muslims I don't mean to offend you

First of all Islam means totally submitting to God's will in every aspect of life. We believe that worshiping God alone and submitting to Him (Islam) is the core of every message that God has sent to the world, and thus the most important teachings of all God's messengers are the same.\nDifferences in the messages were in secondary issues and not in the core beliefs. Each message was appropriate for the time period in which it was sent. Since Islam was the last message sent by God, He Glory be to Him made it appropriate for every time and place.\n\nSo in the core beliefs we are Muslims (submitters to God) just like Jesus peace be upon him and all the messengers from Adam until Mohammed peace be upon them all.

More and more people are studying Islam and funding the trurth.!\n The teachings of Islam states that the Muslim community should coexist in complete harmony and tolerance with people of other religious communities. The Qur'an prescribes that as long as the other communities do not oppress the members of the Muslim community, they ought to coexist in love and tolerance. This has been demonstrated by Muhammed (PBUH) through his life. Even the subjects of a Caliphate have no right to hamper the freedom of faith nor the freedom of worship of the non-Muslim citizens. The ruler is liable for the complete protection of their lives and property. The Prophet (PBUH) has taught that it is an unpardonable sin to be unjust to non-Muslim citizens.

Islam is a religion not a culture. But it is hard to separated them in many middle east countries.

No. A land is governed by Islam only if it follows Islamic law. So even many "Muslim countries" today are not governed by Islam.

Islam will not become the most populous religion, Its height now is due mostly to child birth with a very few conversions thrown in. If muslim countries had freedom of religion, (which they do not) then many more muslims would convert out ... The world under islam would indeed be a backwards savage place. This is proven by looking at how muslim majority countries operate right now. Almost all are to some degree dictatorships, with few if any human rights, no womens rights, no freedom of religion, no freedom of press. Islam is comming close to an end now, despite its high population, its tearing apart at the seems, look at iraq and how muslms are slaughtering other muslims. Look at the world in general and how 28 nations are under attack by islam currently. These are all facts and not "zionist" lies or someother nonsense.. islam must reform. And to respond to a poster.. NO islam is NOT the most numerical religion in the usa.. in fact it is one of the smallest.. there are more jews, and far far more christians. there are more wiccans, buddhists and what not.. \nIf you love islam so much then go live in an islamic country instead of trying to impose islam on others..

Most of the data for Islam are based on the higher than average birth rates and consequent population growth of Muslim countries and communities, along with the effects of immigration.\n\n* The World Almanac Book of Facts: 1935 estimated 209,020,000 Muslims in the World.\nThe Readers Digest Almanac: 1983, estimated 700,000,000, Comparing these two estimates gives an average annual growth of 5% or 10,228,750 for Islam over these 48 years,But note that this value is unreliable as these rates are calculated from two separate sources, which may have used different counting rules.\n\n* A United Nations' survey showed that between 1989 and 1998, Europe's Muslim population grew by more than 100 percent. Today, about 13 million Muslims live in Western Europe: 3.9 million in Germany, 3.3 million in Britain, 7.5 million in France, and the rest in other countries.  \nGlobal warming may accelerate Muslim migration to Europe. \n\n* Ontario Consultants on Religious Tolerance have an unsourced claim of 2.9% per year\n\n* The World Christian Encyclopaedia estimates that Islam receives 865,000 converts a year.\n\n* In 2006 countries with a Muslim majority have an average population growth rate of 1.8% per year (when weighted by percentage Muslim and population size).\nThis compares with a world population growth rate of 1.12% per year.

It depends on whether you mean Islamic Community at large, that is the Muslim World, around the planet, and Islamic Communities, would be Islamic "groups of people" or "communities" in the Western (non Muslim)  world (like in London (UK), or in Ann Arbor, Michigan (USA)

Islam, the religion of over 1.2 billion in the world, provides humankind with a unified view about the purpose of our creation and existence, our ultimate destiny and our place among other creatures. It is a way of life that is in complete conformance with nature, and with reason, logic and science.\n\nThe Arabic word Islam means voluntary surrender \n\nto the will of Allah and obedience to His commands. Allah is an Arabic word, the proper name of God. Muslims prefer to use the word Allah rather than God. A person who freely and consciously accepts the Islamic way of life and sincerely practices it is called a Muslim.\n\nBASIC BELIEFS \n\nTAWHID is the most important Islamic belief. It implies that everything in existence originates from the one and only Creator, who is also the Sustainer and the sole Source of Guidance. This belief should govern all aspects of human life. Recognition of this fundamental truth results in a unified view of existence that rejects any divisions of life into the religious and the secular. Allah is the sole source of Power and Authority and therefore entitled to worship and obedience from mankind. There is no scope for any partnership with the Creator. Tawhid teaches man that Allah is not born, nor is anyone born of Him. He has no son or daughter. Human beings, like the rest of creation, are His subjects.\n\nRISALAH means Prophethood and Messengership. Allah has not left humanity without guidance for the conduct of our affairs. Since the creation of the first human, Allah has revealed His guidance to mankind through His prophets. The prophets who received books from Allah are called messengers. The message of all the prophets and messengers is one and the same. They urged the people of their time to obey and worship Allah alone and none other. Whenever the teachings of a prophet were distorted by people Allah sent another prophet to bring human beings back to the Straight Path. The chain of Risalah began with Adam, included Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Lot, Jacob, Joseph, Moses and Jesus, and ended with Muhammad (peace be upon them all), as the final messenger of Allah to mankind.\n\nThe revealed books from Allah are: the Torah (Tawrah), the Psalms (Zabur), the Gospel (Injeel) and the Qur’an. The Qur’an was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (p)1, as the final book of Guidance. Among all these books, it is only the Qur’an that remains unchanged, in its original revealed form.\n\nAKHIRAH means life after death. Belief in Akhirah has a profound impact on the life of a believer. We are all accountable to Allah on the Day of Judgment when we will be judged according to how we lived our lives. One who obeys and worships Allah will be rewarded with a permanent place of happiness and bliss in Paradise (Jannah); One who does not do so will be sent to Hell (Jahannam), a place of punishment and suffering.\n\nFIVE PILLARS OF ISLAM \n\nIslam has five pillars or basic foundations of action. Acting correctly and sincerely on these foundations transforms a Muslim’s life into one that is in harmony with nature and thus in conformity with the will of the Creator. Faithful practice of these duties inspires her to work towards the establishment of justice, equality and righteousness in society, and the eradication of injustice, falsehood and evil.\n\n1. SHAHADAH, the first of the five basic foundations, is the declaration, knowingly and voluntarily, of: La ilaha illal lahu Muhammadur rasulul lah. “There is no god except Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah”\nThis declaration is the basis of all actions in Islam, and the other basic duties follow this affirmation.\n2. SALAH (compulsory prayer) is offered five times a day. It is a practical demonstration of faith, and keeps a believer in touch with her Creator. The benefits of Salah are far-reaching, long lasting and immeasurable. It develops in a believer the qualities of self-discipline, steadfastness and obedience to the Truth, leading her to be patient

Islam is a belief.  Islam is not an idiot running around the streets setting fire to everything.\n\nJust like Hinduism, Christianity, Judaism, etc.  aren't either.  Yet how many millions of people have been killed in the name of all religions.\n\nYou should see example in your heart, look for it there and let it guide you.

You're preaching to the chorus my man.  If you want the west to accept Islam then you have to convince the dangerous radicals that Islam is a religion of peace.  Don't tell us, tell them.  The only thing we care about is not being blown up.

I agree with you that the whole Islam needs reform. This does not mean that other religions do not need the same (Christianity and Jaudism have already gone through alot of reform).

islam is a religion as it is a  way of life. the quran doesnt say "says that if you die well killing others you will go to a muslim heaven" WRONG!! if you die defending yourself you go to heaven. make sense right? islam rule the world?! WRONG again. islam preaches religious tolerance more than any other religion out there. in fact, in the quran it states that NO place of worship has the right to be destroyed if even ONE person goes there. Islam dates back to the time of adam and eve. there was no founder; there was only god. why do so many religions exsist? because with time comes change. (and to clear up the answer above, no man has the right to beat a women. a women is to be treated with respect and compassion!) Muslims pray five times a day, fast the month of ramadan, give charity, state there is no god but god, and make the pilgrimage to mecca. those are the basis of islam. then comes things like, respecting your parents, being kind to your neighbors, and preforming good deeds as often as possible because it isnt just a religion but a way of living.
