Anonymous is so right!!! Islam is a great religion and a way of life. People always think Muslims will bomb something or want to rage a jihad against someone. It's not like that. People like that are extremists!!!!!! Everyday Muslims like me are just like any other people. The only thing that separates me from other teens is my religion. Not every Muslim wants to kill and blow up buildings. I am a Muslim who wants to be happy. I want peace, I want to go to college and become a doctor! I want to leave the US and move to England. I want to be happy among Muslims and non Muslims. So don't judge Muslims, not all of us are cold blooded extremists. And why do people pick on Muslims when people of the Christian religion and the Jewish religion and other religions do dirty things too. People just look for some group of people to pick on. It's not fair.

hi \ni totally understand what u are sayin, see the main problem is that most ppl who read the Quran, interpret it in the wrong way, or sometimes they just make up stuff, like some say that killing others will lead u to heaven, that is made up stuff, Islam teaches us to accept all other races, religions and to respect them, no matter what the religion, if the person worships God, respect them, If the person worships the devil, respect them and their religion.\n\n\nif u have anymore questions or r confused feel free to reply

Islam is a very aggressive religion. Of all of the wars/conflicts in the world, something like 95% of the at least ONE if not BOTH sides are Muslim. If you read about what people are doing to innocent women and children in places like Algeria, Sudan, Indonesia in the name of Islam it's bad(cutting the throats of whole families if they don't observe Islam as devoutly as they should, burn torture to enslaved christian children if they refuse to learn Islam, etc....)

Much of the christian world is in the dark about islam. Christianity is not a religion that accepts those who do not believe in the same religion. Too many people know too little about other religions, and than make ignorant statements about what they do not know.

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.

Islam is a religion- made up of all types of people and cultures- the true Islamic or Muslim people would be a Peaceful group, not inflicting Anything on Anyone if they followed their original teachings- and their Koran.\n\nUnfortunately, there are many confused, evil, tyranical, fantatics that Happen to be of that Islamic faith, and that  is all we get to hear and see in our Media, and that is what has us all up at ARMS over it all, because, that is all we know- thanks to one sided media attention.\n\nIn the USA, we came here originally to avoid persecution of our religious beliefs, and taxation without representation.  We did not tell Anyone to follow Christ or to become Christian- but, we were Founded by people that do believe in GOD- and that is a fact.\n\nfor all those confused about what the Koran truly says, check this source:)  btw, I am Christian.\n\nhttp://www.islamia.com/the_drama_of_revelation.htm

Islam (Arabic: الإسلام; al-Islām) means "submission to the will of God". It is a monotheistic faith and the world's second-largest religion. Islam is considered an Abrahamic religion, along with Christianity and Judaism. Followers of Islam, known as Muslims, believe that God (Allāh in Arabic) revealed his divine word directly to humanity through many earlier prophets, and that Muhammad was the final prophet of Islam.

Islam, as recent events over a simple comic strip have shown, is a violent, hateful religion that should be wiped-off the face of the earth. It should only be found in museums showing future generations how backwards and ignorant some humans used to be.

What is Islam? \n\nThe word "Islam" is an Arabic word that means "submitting and surrendering your will to Almighty God". The word comes from the same root as the Arabic word "salam", which means peace. Unlike the names used for other religions, such as Buddhism, Hinduism and Christianity, the name “Islam” was both revealed by God and mentioned explicitly in the Holy Scripture – The Qur’an. Islam carries a deep spiritual meaning — only by submitting one’s will to Almighty God can one obtain true peace both in this life and in the life hereafter. Islam teaches that all religions originally had the same essential message — which was to submit whole-heartedly to the will of God and to worship Him and Him alone. For this reason, Islam is not a new religion but is the same divinely revealed Ultimate Truth that God revealed to all prophets, including Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus (peace be upon them all). \n\nWho are Muslims? \n\nThe Arabic word "Muslim" literally means "someone who submits to the will of God". The message of Islam is meant for the entire world and anyone who accepts this message becomes a Muslim. Some people mistakenly believe that Islam is just a religion for Arabs, but nothing could be further from the truth, since in actuality over 80% of the world's Muslims are not Arabs! Even though most Arabs are Muslims, there are Arabs who are Christians, Jews and atheists. If one just takes a look at the various peoples who live in the Muslim World — from Nigeria to Bosnia and from Morocco to Indonesia — it is easy enough to see that Muslims come from all different races, ethnic groups and nationalities. From the very beginning, Islam had a universal message for all people. This can be seen in the fact that some of the early companions of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) were not only Arabs, but also Persians, Africans and Byzantine Romans. Being a Muslim entails complete acceptance and active obedience to the revealed will of Almighty God. A Muslim is a person who freely accepts to base his beliefs, values and faith on the will of Almighty God. In the past (even though you don't see it as much today), the word "Mohammedans" was often used as a label for Muslims. This label is a misnomer and is the result of either willful distortion or sheer ignorance. One of the reasons for the misconception is that Europeans were taught for centuries that Muslims worshipped the Prophet Muhammad in the same way that Christians worship Jesus. This is absolutely not true since a Muslim is not permitted to worship anyone or anything besides Almighty God. \n\nWho is Allah? \n\nVery often one will hear the Arabic word "Allah" being used in regards to Islam. The word "Allah" is simply the Arabic word for Almighty God, and is the same word used by Arabic speaking Christians and Jews. If one were to pick up an Arabic translation of the Bible, one would see the word "Allah" being use where the word "God" is used in English. Actually, the Arabic word for Almighty God, "Allah", is quite similar to the word for God in other Semitic languages — for example, the Hebrew word for God is "Elah". For various reasons, some non-Muslims mistakenly believe that Muslims worship a different God than Jews and Christians. This is certainly not the case, since the Pure Monotheism of Islam calls all people to the worship of the God of Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and all of the other prophets (peace be upon them). However, even though Jews, Christians and Muslims worship the same God — since there is only one true God — their concepts concerning Him differ in some significant ways. \n\nWho is Muhammad? \n\nThe last and final prophet that God sent to humanity was the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Muhammad explained, interpreted and lived the teachings of Islam. The Prophet Muhammad is the greatest of

The problem with Muslims is that you hold to the word of one prophet and ignore the rest. Great prophets in the Old Testament prophesied many times of the coming King and how He would suffer to heal His people. I judge a prophet by his message. That message has to be consistent with all the previous messages from God. Mohammad's message is out of sync. It doesn't teach that blood must be shed to gain forgiveness of sin as both the Old and the New Testaments do. You deny Christ's position. Out of His own mouth He claimed to be the I AM God that spoke to Moses from the burning bush. Adam and Eve Died the day they sinned. They lost the presence of God in their lives and physical death followed. Now God is restored in the Lives of the Christian Gos walk with us in our daily walk before Him. We are alive Spiritually again. We still carry with us the body of sin that is subject to physical death. When it is gone our spirits go to the Father who created them and so we are ever with the Lord. I don't know as you can understand the two deaths physical and spiritual because I don't know your teaching that well. All I need to know about Islam is that you deny that Jesus is God. That tells me that your religion is closer to a cult than it is to God...   Jim

I think your the insecure one. \nYour so worried that other people may become muslims after hearing about the religion that you have took it upon your self to spread lies and insite hatred.  If you think Islam is that bad then why you worried surely anyone who looks into it, reads the quran and learns about the life and teachings of the prophet muhammed peace and blessings of God be upon him will run miles from it, but clearly this is not happening.  \n\nIslam the fasting growing religion on the planet!\n\nGod bless you and guide you onto the straight path. amen!

Those people are utter scum. Islam is full of it. Notice how every time someone says that Islam is the religion of violence, they protest with violence and shout for beheadings - for been called violent. Now we'll be both labeled as ignorant because we don't bend over for Islam.\n\nThe fact that people can thumbs down you is disturbing. I'd give you thumbs up if I weren't a mere Level 1 user.\n\nNow the Extremely Annoyed Kitty

No religion is as good as or better than Islam.  Islam is the only pure religion accepted by God.  Muslim girls can't marry hindus because the children must be raised Muslims.  Allah is the All-Knowing and the All-Wise.

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.
