it's sad how they succeed to destroy the image of this beautiful religion Islam. muslims are victims of this nasty game. and it's obvious from reading people comments such as (reward 12 virgins for the suicides) that they just know so much little. they didn't know that all Muslims scholars condemn theses terrorists activities but for some reason they don't receive any news about that here. Islam forbid killing Innocent people, Islam forbid killing your own self and Muhammad warned the Muslim world from being extremist and he said three times:\n "those who are extremist are going down"\n\nJesus talked about the comforter, and they claimed it's the holy spirit. comforter was refer to Muhammad the comming prophet who will complete the message of God and He is the last of all the prophets. \n\nand the Quran is a big evidence of the real God. but some will aruge about Islam without even discover Islam. what if Islam was true and Muhammad was a true prophet?

I'm a Muslim so probably what I would have to say might make you guys think that I am biased. But my answer is simple: no, I do not think the Muslims are bad people. The only bad people are those who are using the name of Allah and Islam to wage jihad (the holy war). Muslims do not encourage war, on the contrary - we are a very peaceful religion. It is those who take it to the extremities who are the ones who are making Muslims look bad.\n\nWearing a burqa is the sign of extremity. In Islam, you are only required to cover certain parts of your body - for the women, you are required to wear a scarf and cover your entire body to from shoulder to knee. To cover the face isn't a necessity but those who take it to the extremes feel that if a woman doesn't cover her face in the presence of men, it would lead the men to committing sin such as rape and so on and so forth. Mind you, that is hypocritical bulls***. I don't believe in that.\n\nIn some places where Islam is taken to the extremes, they stone women for committing adultery. I remember a few years ago when a woman was condemned to death by stoning for committing said adultery and getting pregnant. When this took place, the world Muslim world was thrown into an outrage. In an age of modernity, stoning should not be an issue anymore. But yet, there are some of those among the Muslims who see it as a punishment. An act to repent thy sins.... I say, yeah whatever.\n\nThat said, it is proof enough that not all Muslims are bad. There are those who still protest over stoning, those who are constantly fighting for the rights of women, and those who still are angered over 9/11 and the actions of those who think irrationally. Rewarded with a dozen women and the pleasures of heaven for fighting in the name of God? I think not. Not especially if you're fighting for all the wrong reasons. The Muslims are not bad people. The extremists are.

I hate that this has been my experience, but I can only tell you what I have experienced.  I don't know many Muslims in my everyday life, but the ones I know are good people, and I can't even imagine that they would hate Jewish people, or hate anyone.  But, like I say, I don't know many Muslims.  I am interested in religion, and I sometimes go to various religious chatrooms.  Almost ANY time I have ever gone to a Muslim chatroom, I have found people expressing intense hatred of Jewish people.  Of course, chatrooms do not tend to bring out the best people, for whatever reason.  So I'm hoping that this is just some sort of abnormal thing.\n\nBut quite honestly, I HAVE seen a lot of Islamic websites that have insults about Jewish people.  As you point out, these are not following the way of Islam.  Ok, and one last little tidbit is that there was a locally well-known doctor's office in my area where there was a Muslim doctor and a Jewish doctor who worked together.  They absolutely hated each other and this was plain to see.  I'm sure it was over some differences in medicine or something, but people just make assumptions.

No. I don't get your question completely but if you're asking whether you should look at a religion's followers and from them deteremine a conclusion on the religion, then NO. I'm a Muslim and if you saw me in the street one day, you shouldn't think that that's what Islam teaches, because I don't do a lot of things that I'm supposed to as a Muslim. I hope that answers your question.

Well, 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

Islam is not bad.\n\nAll religions have their extremists.  To say Islam is bad is like saying Christianity is bad because of the Ku Klux Klan.

To really understand the answer for that you have to first learn about Islam.  Have you ever picked up the Holy Quran and read it?  If not http://askmuslims.com has online Holy Quran or if you want the print version let me know my e-mail address is askmuslims1@yahoo.com I hope to hear from you and others.

If you really want to know more about Islam, please browse the site at the link given below.\n\nListen to the song "Islam's not for me"\n\nIt's really funny.\n\nGreat Cartoons there, too.\n\nAnd a lot of testimonials.

I think Islam is a false religion, founded on doctrines of demons.\nHaving said that, I know a lot of Muslims, and even consider some of them to be my friends.\nThere is a lot of truth mixed in with the lies of Islam, and there are a number of things in which the Muslims (as a whole) far exceed the general poplulation of Christianity in, such as their lifestyle with a sense of community, respect for elders, and generally opposing abortion, etc.\nOn the other hand, violence and the use of force has been a constant part of the history of Islam since the time of its founding, women are taught to be 1/2 the value of men, and there is no tolerance for questioning the prophet (or even for critical examination of whether the prophet actually said/did certain things) or the origins/validity of the Qur'an.\n\nSo, from what I have been able to tell, Islam is a religion that closely resembles the truth, but missed the truth just enough to be very dangerous.

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

i thoroughly agree with you on this one..i'm a Muslim myself and i must say, i feel really ashamed of how SOME partions of the Muslims react to the criticises we get..\nthat's not what Islam taught us!! criticism has become something normal in the world today..i know its not only the Muslims that get it..infact, every single religion are being critisized.\ni know its not right how the Muslims in some part of the world are reacting and i not only feel sorry for the victims of their actions, but i also feel sorry for them themselves..!!\ni've no idea what they've been exposed to all these while..coz like you said, the Islam we knew before wasn't like this..!!!\nto tell you the truth, i was only aware of these problems when i was 12 or so..why? coz i'm living in an Islamic country too, but we've never experienced such doings here! i'm from Malaysia and its a truly multi-racial country..\nwe've got the Malays, Chinese, Indians, Ibans, Kadazans, a small partion of Sikhs even..and with it ofcourse we live around so many different beliefs, 4 main religions practised here are mainly Islam, Christian, Buddha and Hindu.\ni guess what i'm saying here is that everything starts with our way of life, our environment, the people around us and what we're exposed to!~\nit all starts from education!~\nfrom there we learn to respect and with respect love is born!~\n\ni really don't know what my answers have to do with your question here..i'm sorry if you felt i've wasted your time or anything like that..just expressing my point of view..!~\n\nGood Luck to the world!!~\n\n^_^

No, of course nothing wrong with being a Muslim.\n\nAny person who is doing harm toward another in the name of their religion, then that is wrong. Any religion.

Well Jhon , are you a muslim ? .. i guess not , that's why i'm gonna tell you this :\n\nI'm a Muslim and i was raised since i was a baby as a muslim and i know my religion very well , i read the Quran many times , and i know what does the quran means when it does talk about Killing and if you read the quran you would know exactly what i'm talking about , \n\nI'm A Muslim and i don't beleive in Killing , neither any other muslim ,Because that what we were taught , becuase that what our quran says ! ! \n\n but ofcourse in each religion there are some stricts who only think about their selves , just like alqaeda and others who made killing is some thing like a vertue , which is ABSOLUTLY WRONG , ISLAM DOESN"T BELEIVE IN KILLING ! ! ! YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT !\n\nNeo

Oh yeah, I remeber reading lots of books which assured the reader that muslims worship the moon, don`t belive in jesus or in his miraculous birth, insult vergin mary, and that muslims are ordered to kill themselves in the most explosive manner in order to have sex with 70 vergins in heaven ..etc\n\nLater I knew how false all this garbage was, but I also found out that other religions have simillar lies to say about christianity.\n\nNo wonder so many people hate eaach other in this world!\nOnce again: Never judge a man you've never met, a book you've never read, or a place you've never been to :)

Hi,\nI'm glad to get the opportunity to help you understand this situation.\n\nWhat happened to you is indeed very strange, from the books offered, the itch, the sore and the whole rest ot it.\n\nThe question here is: What does that person has to do with Islam? what does his reaction has to do too? As well as his behaviour to you and the kids? \n\nI studied Islam as a subject and can tell you that you have been very unfortunate to fall on a person that showed you a wrong image of a great religion.\n\nYour case is just one that could also happen to a muslim while visiting a christian family, isn't it?\n\nIslam is nothing of what you saw and heard!\n\nIt's very unfortunate when a person without or with only a little Islamic academic background try to call people to conversion...\n\nWould you care to read the following:\n\nFr. Theodore Pulcini, a priest of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America, is Assistant Professor of Religion at Dickinson College, Carlisle, PA 17013. His articles have appeared in Diakonia, The Journal of Ecumenical Studies, Church Divinity, Commonweal, and St. Vladimir's Theological Quarterly. His essay is reprinted from New Theology Review. \n\n\nMuslims now constitute a significant minority in Western countries, most notably France, Britain, Germany, Canada, and the United States. Consequently, those in the West engaged in theological discourse and pastoral work can no longer consign Islam to the outer limits of their universe of religious concerns. Islam is no longer just "over there," an exotic feature of distant cultures; it is a well-established component of our own religious landscape and deserves attention from all who work to further the Reign of God in our culture. \nHaving taught courses in Islamic civilization as part of the religious studies curriculum at both secular and church-related institutions, I can give ample testimony to the antagonistic images of Islam obtaining in, and actively perpetuated by, many Western circles. In some cases, it is alarmism that fuels the antagonism ("Muslims are taking over the world!"); in others, the indignation of post-modern Westerners who resent the very existence of a powerful religious tradition which seems to foster "unenlightened" values ("Islam is intolerant, it oppresses women, etc."). It is a situation fraught with the real possibility of bigotry and violence.\n\nAs "people of religion," we can be particularly effective in shaping religious sentiment toward Muslims in our society. We can either stoke the fires of antagonism, feeding into the dominant societal trend of "demonizing" Islam and Muslims; or we can fight those fires, challenging people to come to a well-informed, balanced appreciation of this "other" in our midst. Most of us, I assume, would affirm the desirability of the latter option. I would like to offer a few suggestions as to how that option might be realized.\n\nFirst, expose the caricatures -- both our own and those of others. Such caricatures are usually based on the assumption that Islam is monolithic and that Muslim communities are homogeneous. Both assumptions are false. Just as there are many "Christianities," there are many "Islams" and most have very little to do with "Islamism," that militant, extremist fringe of Islam which, despite its claim to "traditionalism," actually violates such perennial Islamic values as tolerance, forbearance, hospitality, and broad-mindedness. A number of excellent resources can help you in this process -- see the attached reading list. All the recommended authors are Christians who have done much to dispel the rampant misinformation concerning Islam.\n\nSecond, reflect on what underlies our tendency to caricature Islam. Many in the Christian world have thrown themselves headlong into the process of challenging the traditional shape of our society an
