I think Islam is very misunderstood. It's a beautiful religion. I'm and American and a Christian and I am learning about Islam and I've seen nothing thus far that says Islam is bad. The people who use Islam as a reason for Jihadist terrorism are NOT true Muslims, nor or they true to Muhommads teachings. It is they who stain the name of Islam with blood, not the real Muslims. Osama Bin Ladin is as much condemned by Islam and the Muslims as he is by us Americans. 9/11 is not what Islam is about and there are a lot of misconceptions about Islam just as there are a lot of misconceptions about Americans. There is only one solution to this problem; we need to love and learn about each other as God intended and not make judgements based on false information. We must educate ourselves and look at both sides of the coin. I've made many Muslim friends here and if I have any questions at all they are right there for me. Every culture and religion has the bad and the good. We need to look at each other as human beings that are brothers and sisters on this earth under God and after learning about one another, perhaps then we can find peace. It's very good that you are curious about how Islam is viewed and that you asks questions. This is how we learn and learning can break down the barriers and walls between us, so keep it up, my friend. God/Allah be with you.

I think you are wrong, when I am in trouble I look for the best solution , not any solution. I don't believe that islam is answer to anything accept a corrupt, sexist and racist system/religion. I could never go for help to a belief like that.

If we do practice it sincerely and deeply, we WILL find the true meaning of this life and what are the responsibilities goes with that..Islam it self is peace loving religion..and some people have tarnished the good name of Islam..hope Allah s.w.t will always guide us with His light and Mercy...Amin

I too have studied the Islamic faith and I must say some of it is very good indeed honesty dont eat before your neighbour to takes ones life is to take the life of all mankindetc. But pissing in your clothes etc is very very funny. Killing the infidel unless he pays you well that is laughable A muslims lets you live because you give him money . Whoops you leave the islamic following and you can be killed and the Muslim that does it  cannot be punished.

I vote for banning religion all together.  Why pick and choose.  If you think that Christianity sucks, and Islam sucks, why stop there?

And how much do you know about Islam??? Lots enough for you to talk about something that indeed you have very less knowledge about it???\n   Many people all over this world talk about freedom including free to be muslim, christian, budhist and so on. But how many of us respect every single person's right to be in which religion they want to? Including respect their faith and beleive. For example, be careful in whatever issue that you want to raise.

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.

Islam is absolutely NOT a bad religion. Extremists are the problem. Extremists have been intrepreting the Koran incorrectly for years. The Koran says to respect women and treat them as equals. The Koran does not advocate killing ANYONE. But the Koran does say the end (the apocalypse) will come in the midst of a holy war. (Remember who started that. Extremists and the president.)

o really where did you read that?\n\nyou see,\n\nhis uncle(the person who raised him since his mother and father and everyone else was dead) was not a muslim, but he did love him, and it is told that when his uncle died, he was really sad. he loved him, although he did not believe in the same God as he did. \n\nI dont know where you read that, but of the things that I know and read about him, he was a good guy(maybe his surrounding wasnt)....\n\n\nwell maybe what you read was when he had a war with the QUraish... but the thing that I know about that is that he did that because they were endangering him and the muslims with him,(you know the rule, when someone does something bad to you you have to protect your self, a survival thing???)... \n\n\nwell, I am a muslim. maybe not like other muslims I might add, I think that Muhammad was not perfect, he was just human, a normal human being that was given a huge responsibility by God. the best thing about him is, that he alwaays TRIED to be a good person..\n\nyou know, even when God had promissed him Heaven he did not stop to pray to him, thats a good quality, because if in school, I was promised to get good grades no matter what I would probably stop studying..\n\nplease, if your information about this is correct dont judge him too fast because, he also did good deeds. and it wouldnt be fair if you just see the badd side of it(just like it wouldnt be fair to only remember Clinton as someone who 'had an affair')\n\n\nI hope that you dont see Islam as a religion that is wrong. bcause not all of us are like those radical people... and I really mean that... I hate murder, and if you read Quran, you will read that God also forbids it. because it is not our right to take someone elses life. \n\nIf in the future you still want to know about Islam, please read Quran it self, because I believe that that was from God, and you know, humans just have different interpetations about it... dont read what other people think about it. Read the real thing....\n\n\nSorry..... I just dont like to be judged, because I dont judge\n\n\nAsih

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.

I'm a Muslim and I believe that heaven is for good people with good beliefs, doesn't matter if its name is Islam, Christian....\nFanaticism is the main enemy of any religion.

Islam isn't all bad, its just some certain sects (or groups) within islam take their beleifs very, VERY seriously and try 2 follow them in very violen ways. They are only a small percentage or the religion, but they give all Muslims a bad name. \nIslam is a monotheistic religion, meaning they worship only one god (Allah). it is the same god that Christian, Catholics, and Jewish people worship.

I have a lot of very good muslim friends...so I am not at all against Islam...but bad muslim only. But with concern, their numbers seem to be increasing rather rapidly nowdays.

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.

I think its just like any other religion you can find fanatics in any of them. I keep and open mind. There is good and bad in all religions. My husband is a Desert Storm vet and during the war I was a member of a support group we invited the local Muslim leaders to come and explain the religion, they were very nice. I enjoyed it alot.

to impossible_dream: \n\nFirst, muslims dont think that christians or jews are evil. So your statement is wrong. YOu said that you dont want to know more than that. Therefore, you cant make a statemtn on Islam because it will be extremely biased. Secondly, the one andonly information you have is wrong, and that means you have absolutely no idea about Islam.\n\nMost educated non judgemental people are right. Its what is perceived in the media that causes all the judgements. And you really cant blame them. These so called "muslim" dictators are all over the media, all over the world. Thats why there is a lot of misconception.\nUnfortunately, when a good muslim cleric tries to resolve the problems, people think he is also one of them, since he looks like them, the turban, the beard, the clothes.\n\nPeople should start looking to what people have to say, not what they look like.\n\nHowever, its good to know that some people know that the problems are caused by extremists who have nothing to do with Islam.
