If Allah was so clever, how come he didn't teach respect for all religions?

he did,it's just that a small minority of muslims chose to ignore his teachings and see things there own way ,and by doing that take things to the extreme.islam is a very peaceful religion,and like with most races there's good and bad in everyone.

that is a prime example of why the two have different gods. in christianity even, the Jews are Gods chosen ppl. allah is a totally different god with a different chosen ppl being muslims

Yes, because of man's lack of faith. And all it takes is one man to make a difference in the entire world. You are unique. You are very important to life whether you know it or not or whether you like it not. You may not seem to be important but you are. Your life plays a role in the future of this world. Without you, the world would not be the same. So one man, as the son of Allah, can influence the world, just as much as many men being the sons of Allah.

Because we are not about judging others beliefs and religions. We even pratice alot of other religions not just one. I also believe that god, he/she is way too big, he/she is in about every religion there is, maybe different intents and different paths.. but all really leads to same god/goddess's. I dont believe in "evil" or a right or wrong way to anyones path. Everything we do and everything we learn is definetly a lesson being learned and taught in most religions and beliefs. I dont believe in judging anyone because god, he/she does not judge anyone, we do enough of that ourselves.

I thought that schools avoided religion in school.  Why should a Muslim respond to those questions differently than a person of any other religion?  Isn't that prejudice on the part of the teacher?

I think each religion is a way for people to make sense out of their lives. It's a way to find purpose or meaning for the things they do each day. I don't believe there is any one correct religion. And I doubt that God (howeer God is defined) looks upon earth and decides that he likes some of us better than others simply because of the way he is worshipped. (I'm using "he" only as a convenient word.) In fact, I believe that God does not particularly appreciate it when people use hatred against each other simply because of a difference in religious practice. As Buddha said, "There are many paths to the top of the mountain."

GOOD QUESTION!\n\nHowever, even though the Creator has clearly specified that no other way of life is acceptable to Him except Islam (i.e. submission to Him as embodied in the Qur'an and Sunnah), He has also commanded the Muslims to be tolerant of people who espouse other creeds.\n____________________________________________________________\n\n"There is no compulsion in the religion; Truth stands out clear from error; so whoso disbelieves in idols and believes in God, has laid hold of the most firm handle, which cannot break; and God is Hearing, Knowing. Al-Quran (2:256)\n\n"Invite to the way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preachings, and argue with them in a way that are best and most gracious" (QURAN 16:125)\n\nQuran says in Ch. 109 "Say to those who reject faith. I will not worship what you worship, nor will you worship what I worship. I will not be worshipping what you want me to worship, Nor will you worship that which I worship. To you be your religion, and to me my religion"\n\nQuran says in [6:108] "Revile not ye those whom they call upon besides God, lest they out of spite revile God in their ignorance. Thus have We made alluring to each people its own doings. In the end will they return to their Lord, and We shall then tell them the truth of all that they did."\n\n \nTHERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER SAYINGS OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD PBUH.. IF YOU NEED ANY INFORMATION, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME ...taimur_1984@yahoo.com\nQuran says that we should deal kindly and justly with those who does not fight with us. irrespective of muslim or non-muslim\n"Allah forbids you not, With regard to those who Fight you not for (your) Faith Nor drive you out Of your homes, From dealing kindly and justly With them: For Allah loveth Those who are just.  (The Noble Quran, 60:8)"

How ignorant, Allah is the SAME as God, and God knows ALL! He knows the past, the present and the future with every single tiny or large detail.

i don't think all the muslims in this site are recieving money to correct what has misunderstood about muslims. \n\nand apologists for what? i think muslims are the one who need apologies. \n\nabout murder, terrorist, child molester ...etc. \n\ndid you know that when he started to spread his message. people went against him even much worse than you did. \n\nyour problem is not Muhammad. your problem is understanding who is God is. that's the problem for many people. they have draw an image about God in their mind and said "whatever dosen't fit that image in my mind cannot be my God!".\n\nMuhammad had tender heart toward womens, orphans, poor, captive of wars, neighbour (even if he was not muslims), peace to those who came for peace, forgiving, loving. \n\nYou should not hate Muhammad, but you have to love him instead. He does not do things from his own. He does what God commanded him to do without questioning God. He put his life infront of Death, he put his life in risk calling people toward God. because the Hell isn't a joke. He wants to save as much people as possible and God told him:\n\nQuran ch28\n[56] Verily you (O Muhammad (peace be upon him)) guide not whom you love, but Allâh guides whom He wills. And He knows best those who are the guided.

I would say hardcore Islamists are pretty smart. If you look at the world, whereever religion has lost its shine or deep faith, you would find the society educated and developed. To majority of the believers in deveoped society, deep faith occurs only at the time when they undergo severe stress/problems when they find no one having time to help/console/understand them. God is the only recourse and the one that does not complain of your sad face and sunken heart. The logic is if the society is developed the religious leaders lose their charm and means to make money! To keep the charm and the comforts, you need to block something - and what better than education and development? It would keep people awed at you and your preachings. Smart or not?

Ain't that one heck of a lot of Questions, Sir?\n\nT o simplify matters, Sir, if we begin on the premise that Allah is the "Maker" and you are the "User"; then you have no choice at all in the matter.\n\nIslam does not permit any choice to it's Members; except to follow it's rules or pay the price for violation which, in some cases, is Death.\n\nHave a nice day.

Oh get off your Islamic high horse all ready. This is a typical statement. Why do Islamics think they are better than everybody else? If they had a true sense of religion, they would treat everyone with kindness and not judge.

Oh, please! I mean this is all hogwash!!! The truth is that Mohammad didn't say such things. If he had said, he wouldn't help his wife with the housework!!! Actually, I know that there is a section in the Quran called "Nisa" which meant "The Women" which shows that Quran gives importance to women. And isn't the God same everywhere despite different religions? Would he choose a prophet who find women deficient?! Some sensibility, please!!! As I am a Turkish muslim, I find such ideas "Women are a bad omen." ridiculous and I can't even tolerate those who think in similar ways. Ignorant people make up these stories "Mohammed said: Women are bla bla..." Millions of muslims (at least the Turkish ones) are disturbed by these stories. Some ignorant (and muslim) countries introduce Islam wrongly. I am bored with it.

It all boils down to one thing, and one thing only.  Muhammed, when he was inventing allah and islam, took and corrupted (intentionally or not) a lot of factoids from Judaism and Christianity.  His ONLY defense against his inadequate knowledge of science, astronomy, anatomy, physiology, history, religion (esp Judaism and Christianity), and many OTHER fields of thought was to declare EVERYTHING ELSE as wrong or corrupted.  (nice try, Mo)  \n\nIslam "claims" to be correct and complete, yet denies the divine nature of Jesus.  Islam is at a loss for anything spiritual (resorting instead to lavish physical pleasures and rewards for following allah/Muhammed).  There are so many blatant errors in the koran that it's not worth listing.\n\nChristianity (rightfully) views islam and allah as a false god.

Why, yes, I did know that.  But, that also makes your question somewhat meaningless:  I could just as easily ask of you, 'Your Allah is called God.  Why don't you worship Him Alone?'  See how that changes exactly nothing about the actual theological differences we have?  :)

even i dont understand this entire religion thing...if we wudnt have been divided into religions then world wud have been a better place to live in...with every religion trying to prove itself better than the other, we have even lost our basic human principals like kindness, forgiveness, etc. We are ready to kill each other for it but where the hell does any religion asks its followers to kill each other for it...will any of these religious people explain this...all these people who make an issue out of it are not even worth belonging 2 any religion...\nwell honestly i am not the kinds who'll just go blah blah blah about my religion but i just respect others as individuals...& when i have children, i'll try my best 2 make them good human beings & not segregate people into religions...

No, not a muslim. Reason: I attempt to be as rational a being as possible.  You certainly do not need to practice any religion to be a good person, and, as has been pointed out above, no religion guarantees its followers to be good.
