Uniting religion, will not happen, too hard. Nations, no way, government, isn't that same as nations!  Peace on Earth! will not happen as long as we continue with our struggle against each others.  The least unity possible is religion, no matter how much we try, we will never see it, at lest in our life time, and these days it is getting less and less possible to be.

Hey man I can't understand why could a person who claims that he is a muslim to hope the hell for others who are sharing the same relegion with him!!!!\nWell I'd to confirm that the true muslim will never call for destroying others...\nIslam is a relegion of peace which ask its follower to respect all people whatever their relegions,languages, gender...etc\nOn the other hand, if u r really a muslim, u must heard about the hadees of Prophet Muhammed(PBUH) which says that Allah (God) prefer to damage the Ka'ba(the holy mosque in Mecca)in stead of killing a muslim... \nSo I can't understand how u could hope murder for all arabs while they are muslim like u????

I'm a Muslim and we are thought to treat the other religions and their followers with respect. I would suggest you to try to do the same thing.

I was so sorry reading your comment Figado, but it's your own point of view.. the Islam is not just a religen, it's a way of living, that's why muslims live with it in daily basis .. As you said, let's try to say the truth for a while, why is it totally wrong when Muslims in palastine try to take THEIR LAND by force which was invaded by Israel, is wrong? Why should Muslims feel happy in Iraqe that US invaded their country and if tried to free it from the invadors they are called terrorists????\nDo you honestly fall for the democracy thing ???!!!!!! Every country has it's own democracy form and if based on Islamice point of view - which is not the case in most of the Arabic nations - there will be more democracy than what the US knows and will ever know .... Read the prophet's Mohamed's ( praise be upon him) life.\n\nMuslim were not asked in qur'an to fight people unless they firght them or made it hard for muslims to perform thier religen or invaded their countries ,,. The ISlam is a peace religen ( the name itself is from Alsalam in arabic which is peace )\n\nBefore reading some one's book about Islam, Read God's Book about his Religen, he sure Knows better.

I am a sunni, and i don't hate anyone. I'm sure u are asking this considering the situation in Iraq. Yup, we are all brothers but the one really following Islam are the sunnis. Shittes are tottaly wrong. the others, i don't have any idea. I think the powerfull and honourable people of all those sections/parties(whatever u call them) are the one responsible for this situation. I believe  although some of the groups u named above are not following Islam throughly, we should still respect them and should not fight. Thats all.

It is a dangerous dichotomy. To resolve this Muhammad wanted to merge these two and preached a unified religion combining all the prophets and claiming himself as the last prophet; but still there was and there is war among the followers of the semitic religions. For the Roman Catholics the Church and the State is same. For the Muslims, loyalty to their religion comes first but still they have fought wars with Islamic states. Faith in God has actually nothing to do with commitment to the Nation. The Nation is a reality and it should take priority over faith which is internal relationship with the God. Territorial loyalty is man made and has its relevance in our regulated conduct.

Allah akber, Allah akber, Allah akber\nThank U for such effort.  \nOne note:  the question itself made me think U R another Islam basher.  Do U think it is not haram to even ask such a question?  why not say:  How can they say Allah has dau......?\nI only wanted to point it out, that's all.

Not sure if its mentioned in the text but don't muslims think there was a split in heaven when Adam was created?  Something about Allah wanting all beings to worship Adam and Satan refused and led a revolt.  Some angels sided with Satan and some with Allah.  Those who could not decide were sent here as humans to make their decision.  Something like that, I'm probably butchering their theology.

This is my answer from a similar question (link in the sources).  Since many of these Islamic countries are allies of the USA, the answer is "no".  The only groups these countries must "fight back" against are the extremists in one, very numerous, sect of Sunni Islam.\n\nHere is the old answer:\nThe whole Islamic world is not even, or will ever be, allied with itself. I realize that American public education and our universities fail miserably at teaching the truth about other cultures, so here is a run down.\n\nThere are two main sects in Islam (not Muslim as being "Muslim" is a state of Islam, akin to "Nirvana"). These are the Sunnis and the Shia. The Sunnis think the Shia are apostates and traitors to Islam. Within the Sunni sect, there are several other subsects of which Whabbasism is just one. Trying to get all these sects to agree on what day it even is is difficult enough. Having them unite as one is almost impossible. \n\nThis is further complicated by the fact African, Far Eastern, and Indonesian Islamists don't like the Arabs, or each other. Al Qeada's pay and command structure further infuriated non-Arab Islamic people. Old Bin Lying doesn't pay non-Arabs as much as Arabs or let them be as high ranking in his clubhouse. Plus, the genocide in Sudan and other parts is being caused by Islamic Arabs killing Islamic Africans, along with Christian Africans. BTW, Islam refers to Jesus Christ as a prophet and pays homage to him (Guess Bin Lying forgot to read that part of the Quran!).\n\nMixed into this further the tribal and clan nature of the Middle East and Africa. The US, USSR, UK, and others have always been able to fracture the alliances by either buying off a clan or allowing the clans to fight themselves, which is usually what happens without Western involvement.\n\nAnd to top it off, a large and growing number of Islamic peoples do not hate America or what it is doing. Efforts in Afghanistan, Kuwait, Indonesia, Pakistan, and other areas where the US Military and NGOs go in are paying monumental dividends.\n\nIraqis are siding with the USA, as are Jordanians, as are the oppressed people of Iran (they just can't do much about it right now.. such is what always happens when you disarm the people). Then there are the Pastdun people of Pakistan, who, after Al Qeada abandoned them following the massive earthquake that killed 80,000+, saw the ones who rushed in was...come on, guess....That's right, the USA! And who sent massive aid to Indonesia, dispite the lies from leftists in the UN? The USA wins there too by sending very high level, and possibly vulnerable assets to the disaster area. Just like we did for Katrina later, the US military sent assault ships, one of our two hospital ships, and an aircraft carrier without its fighters but loaded with supplies and helos (the USS Kittyhawk) to the area. These efforts speak volumes to the people of the area and cause a rift between them and our enemies.\n\nSo, yes, we stand a great chance since the Islamic world is difficult to unite and easy to fracture.

The difficulty of explaining the true Jesus is a challenge with a Muslim.  I just accept that they believe in God & hope that God will let them in to heaven, as I do love my Muslim friends.

I think the entire muslim faith must be distinguished from Islamic Fundamentalism, which is as it's name implies is much more fundamentalist in nature. \n\nUnfortunately, I think there are a large number of Islamic fundamentalists who condone the actions of terrorists.\n\nMercifully Islamic Fundamentalism is the credo of only a small percentage of those of the Muslim faith.

if you were to check out Muslim History you would see that it started off as a religion of violence. Mohamed converted much of the areas of todays Islamic world through violence. I am  not saying that all Muslims are violent and radical, but i am saying that the majority are showing the true colors of their religion. I think it is right to stand up for what you believe but not with violence. "Actions speak louder than words." "Lately" you have just seen more of what this religion can be about (It condones 'Holy war' and suicide). For all of you moderate, nonviolent Muslims, I am sorry. I do not mean to include you in this.

Many religions preach unity, but only through everyone conforming to one set of beliefs, which honestly doesn't work.\n\nI think unity can be developed through accepting that one's view of reality is not how reality actually is.  Respecting others' beliefs, validating others' experiences and keeping religion as a private practice, not a societal system, are three steps in the direction of peace.

That's a complicated question. Yes, they are all Christian but Christianity is an odd religion, really. Even if you have a same based religion, one branch of that religion is going to think that they're better than the others. And that's not limited to Christianity. Muslim's are divided into two groups: Sunnis and Shiites and they hate each other. It doesn't matter if it's the same religion, some people are always going to believe they're better than everyone else. Religions just a boundary we like to push down each other's throats.

And what the hell have made you marry those four ??? If you say that it is islam you are lying to yourself, because God said that you may marry 4 if you are able to be fair to all of them , and if you can not then only marry one. Then in another verse of Al nissa'a he said that you will never be able to be fair ...\n\nSo what do you deduce Mr. Clever ??? He is saying that you should marry one ... ONLY ONE ...\n\nSome muslims mis-apply ISLAM in a way that shows this religion as to be the religion of retardness ... DAMN it read the Quraan before you do such things, and before you ask such silly questions that shows that you are Ignorant with ISLAM.
