ISLAM literally means submission to the Will of the Almighty.  In our belief ISLAM began when God issued an order to Adam, and Adam was given the free-will to obey..  or not obey.  Thus Islam literally began with the First Command of God, which was issued after free-will was given to Adam. \n\nThus anyone who obeyed or obeys God and puts his own free-will under the Will of the MOST HIGH is technically a Muslim.  The word ISLAM comes from the word PEACE or Salaama in Arabic, which comes about only if you obey the MOST HIGH!!\n\nThus Islam was not founded by a man, but by the Lord Almighty himself.  What is popularly known as Islam and as a faith forwarded by our Prophet Mohammad is in fact a continuum of the system which started with Adam, went through the Noahide laws, Abraham, the Laws of Moses and the implementation of those laws by the great ones of Israel until the chain of prophets culminated in Israel with the arrival of Jesus Christ, who in our belief was the last Guide and Prophet of Israel, before our final Prophet came for all mankind, and established the love of the Prophets and kings of Israel, first in his own nation, then in other nations.  All Muslims are required to bless the Prophets if they take their names, and believe in the ONE GOD.\n\nMuhammad taught obedience to One God in Arabia, where the Arabs of his nation and family used to worship 360 gods, one for each day of the year.  To discard so many gods who met various needs of the arabs was a hard thing to ask.  Some gods were gods of money, others god of health, knowledge, travel, sex etc..  so it was very hard for an average Arabs to dump all his gods enmasse.  It is obvious that one can spread a new faith in a group, but discarding the old faith is not easy without killing people in large numbers. \n\nWhat is amazing is in a mere ten years Mohammad was able to completely remove the Arab pagan religion that had existed for centuries from Arabia.  He began by laying the seeds of obedience to the ONE GOD in the first thirteen years of his ministry, from the age of 40 years until he was 53.   \n\nThe Arabs reacted violently to Muhammad's "intrusion" and teachings which said not only there is only one God, but taught that the great ones of Israel must be loved and respected as their own.  The ancient Arab names were replaced with the names of the Prophets of Israel for naming the children.  Also he taught that the slave and the slave owner were equal in the sight of God, or that the Chief of a tribe and the lowest member in that tribe were equal in front of the Almighty.  Some of these teachings were very offensive to the arabs of his time.  His arch enemy (the only one mentioned by name in the Quran) was his own uncle and his wife is also mentioned as enemies of monotheism.  His uncle was killed in the first battle. \n\nBasically what Muhammad accomplished in the 23 years of first forwarding Islam (in the first 13 years) then combating the extant faith in response to some terrible abuse inflicted on the early Muslims and vanquishing the Arabs completely (in the following ten years ) and establishing ISLAM permanently and laying the foundations for Islam to spread across to many nations is not only a miraculous feat, but an impossible one.  In fact, to this day no other man has completely eradicated an existing religion so completely from such a vast area in a mere ten years as the Prophet of Islam did. \n\nIf one says that God did not support Mohammad in his mission or that he is a false prophet, then they are unwittingly saying that God became helpless in front of a false Prophet.\n\nYou can see that many powerful men are fighting the same people in the same regions and are unable to eradicate the existing religion or install a new way of thinking, even though the blood shed is substantial (less than 2700 died in all battles between the arabs during the eight years of war between the Arabs during the prophet's time), where as thousands ha

Islam has yet to reach its peak. It came into existence roughly 400 years after Christianity and is making steady progress. By the time it is matured it will probably be the dominant religion (and a new one will be in its infancy)

Islam (Arabic: الإسلام; al-islām (listen (help·info)), "submission (to the will of God)") is a monotheistic faith, one of the Abrahamic religions, and the world's second-largest religion. Followers of Islam are known as Muslims. Muslims believe that God revealed his divine word directly to mankind through many prophets and that Muhammad was the final prophet of Islam.

Man, anything Islam says turns out to be right, period. That's a regular fact we, Muslims, face on a daily basis. It makes my beliefs more stronger and gives me extra pride. Thank God I'm Muslim and my faith is trustworthy.

I have said this now for years, and I say it because I believe it to be true. (Note here: This is in no way meant to put down any one or any faith. Its just an opinion, based on a variety of reasons that I won't go into here. Going into my reasons here now would take to much time and detail.) From a monotheistic standpoint, given the Abrahamic tradition, Islam is the only truly viable religion in the world today. And that is my main thought concerning Islam. ~ Peace & Blessings ~

Islam is a monotheistic Abrahamic religion based on the Qur'an. With approximately 1.2-1.3 billion adherents [1][2], it is the world's second-largest religion. Followers of Islam are known as Muslims. Muslims believe that God (Arabic Allāh) revealed his word to humanity through many earlier prophets, and that Muhammad was the final prophet. Muslims believe that the core message of Islam, which is submission to God, has been the central messages in the teaching of all God's prophets.\n\nSecular historians view the religion as being founded by the prophet Muhammad in the 7th century C.E. The faith went through a period of rapid expansion after the prophet's death, and its followers can be found all over the world today.\n\nenet of Islam is found in the shahādatān ("two testimonies"): lā ilāhā illā-llāhu; muhammadu-r-rasūlu-llāhi — "There is no god but God (Allah) and Muhammad is the messenger of God (Allah)." A person who truly believes in the meaning of these words is a Muslim. However, for practical reasons one may need to recite the words in the presence of witnesses to be considered one by other members of their society.\n\nMuslims believe that God (or, in Arabic, Allāh; also in Aramaic Alaha) revealed his direct word for humanity to Muhammad (c. 570–632) and earlier prophets, including Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. Muslims believe that Muhammad is the Last, or the Seal, of the prophets and that his teachings for humanity will last until Qiyamah (The Day of the Resurrection). Muslims assert that the main written record of revelation to humanity is the Qur'an (see below), which they believe to be flawless, immutable, and the final revelation of God to humanity. Muslims believe that parts of the Gospels, Torah and Jewish prophetic books have been forgotten, misinterpreted, incorrectly edited by humans, or distorted by their followers and thus their original message has been corrupted over time (tahrif). With that perspective, Muslims view the Qur'an as a correction of Jewish and Christian scriptures, and a final revelation.\n\nMuslims hold that Islam is essentially the same belief as that of all the messengers sent by God to humanity since Adam, with the Qur'an (the text used by all sects of the Muslim faith) codifying the final revelation of God. Islamic texts depict Judaism and Christianity as derivations of the teachings of Abraham and thus acknowledge common Abrahamic roots. The Qur'an calls Jews and Christians (and sometimes people of other faiths) "People of the Book." Historically, the second Caliph Umar ibn Khattab created what came to be known as "the Pact of Umar" in establishing that any people of the book who submitted to Muslim authority as dhimmis during the wars of Muslim expansion retained their freedom of religion and their existing churches.

ISLAM is the Way of all of the prophets from the first (Adam, peace be upon him) to Muhammad, peace be upon him. They all called the people to submit their free choice that Allah had given them to the Will of Allah. That is what "Islam" is really all about.\n\nWhen the people begin to corrupt and change the message, they give some name to it that makes it distinct for them. Usually they chose a noun such as a person, place or thing. The examples are many, but let me mention the Hindus, from the nation of Hind, the Jews from the tribe of Judah, the Christians from The Christ, the Buddhists from the name of their Buddha. All of these are "nouns" right? So that is where they took the names.\n\nIslam is from Allah, The Creator and Sustainer of all that exists. As such, it is for Him Alone to command and direct His creation and He Alone is responsible for what He will accept and what He will not accept. It is also for Him Alone to decree what is good and what is bad and He must be the One to show the right path in all things.\n\nEverything in the life of the creations of Allah, especially for those who have choices to make (us), must be dictated and clarified by the One who Created everything in the fist place. We understand from this that Islam must be a complete and total way of living, explaining everything in the life from beginning to end and from birth until death.\n\nIslam is careful to remind us that it not a religion to be paid mere lip service; rather it is an all-encompassing way of life that must be practiced continuously for it to be Islam. \n\nThere are other injunctions and commandments which concern virtually all facets of one's personal, family and civic life. These include such matters as diet, clothing, personal hygiene, interpersonal relations, business ethics, responsibilities towards parents, spouse and children, marriage, divorce and inheritance, civil and criminal law, fighting in defense of Islam, relations with non-Muslims, and so much more. \n\nIn conclusion, we are forced to realize that ISLAM is a complete way of life for the human being. Everything is covered in Islam from birth to death to live in the complete submission to the Will of the One Who Created man in the first place. \n\n(Is that detailed enough for you?)

The way the media paints Islam out to be, would be the best answer.\n\nThis society is purposefully "dumbed down".  For the most part, we do not read.  So what ever emotional driven image we see on the 10 o'clock news, or whatever Hollywood feeds us, is what we take as truth to form our opinions.\n\nLM

I completely agree with Nick and Mark.  When they say Islam is a wicked and vicious faith they are 100% right.  Islam is a violent medievil faith that needs to be kicked out of the West for good!\n\nGood luck Nick and Mark!\n\nVote BNP! www.bnp.org.uk

Islam is a religion of peace, love and tolerance. Today, however, some circles have been presenting a false image of Islam, as if there were conflict between Islam and the adherents of the two other monotheistic religions. Yet Islam's view of Jews and Christians, who are named "the People of the Book" in the Koran, is very friendly and tolerant. \n\nThis attitude towards the People of the Book developed during the years of the birth of Islam. At that time, Muslims were a minority, struggling to protect their faith and suffering oppression and torture from the pagans of the city of Mecca. Due to this persecution, some Muslims decided to flee Mecca and shelter in a safe country with a just ruler. The Prophet Muhammad told them to take refuge with King Negus, the Christian king of Ethiopia. The Muslims who followed this advice found a very fair administration that embraced them with love and respect when they went to Ethiopia. King Negus refused the demands of the pagan messengers who asked him to surrender the Muslims to them, and announced that Muslims could live freely in his country. \n\nSuch attitudes of Christian people that are based on the concepts of compassion, mercy, modesty and justice, constitute a fact that God has pointed out in the Koran. A verse of the Koran states:\n\n… You will find the people most affectionate to those who believe are those who say, 'We are Christians.' That is because some of them are priests and monks and because they are not arrogant. (Surat al-Ma'ida, 82)\n\nChristian and Muslim belief have many aspects in common. Judaism too shares many beliefs with Islam. All true adherents of these three great religions: \n\n\nbelieve that God has created the entire universe out of nothing and that He dominates all that exists with His omnipotence. \n\nbelieve that God has created man and living things in a miraculous way and that man possesses a soul granted him by God. \n\nbelieve that besides Jesus, Moses or Muhammad, God sent many prophets such as Noah, Abraham, Isaac and Joseph throughout history, and they love all these prophets. \n\nbelieve in resurrection, Heaven and Hell and angels, and that God has created our lives with a certain destiny. \nThe beliefs of the People of the Book are in harmony with Muslims, not only in terms of faith-related issues, but also of moral values. Today, in a world where such immoralities as adultery, homosexuality, drug addiction and a model of egoism and self-seeking cruelty have grown widespread, the People of the Book and Muslims share the same virtues: Honor, chastity, humility, self-sacrifice, honesty, compassion, mercy and unconditional love… \n\nIt is evident there are ample grounds for an alliance between the "People of the Book" and Muslims. This is also very evident in the Koran. In the relevant verses of the Koran, there is a significant difference between the People of the Book and the idolaters. This is especially emphasized in the area of social life. For example, it is said concerning the idolaters: "(they) are unclean, so after this year they should not come near the Masjid al-Haram (Kaaba)." (Surat at-Tawba: 28) Idolaters are people who obey no divine law, have no moral precepts and who are capable of committing every kind of degrading and perverse action without hesitation.\n\nBut while they basically rely on God's revelation, the People of the Book have moral precepts and know what is lawful and what is not. For this reason, if one of the People of the Book cooks some food, it is lawful for Muslims to eat it. In the same way, permission has been given for a Muslim man to marry a woman from among the People of the Book. On this subject God commands: \n\nToday all good things have been made lawful for you. And the food of those given the Book is also lawful for you and your food is lawful for them. So are chaste women from among the believers and chaste women of those given the Book before you,
