Women are inferior to men. They must walk behind the husband. If they catch you stealing they cut off your hand. If they catch you preaching Christianity...I am not sure what they would do to you, but better not find out. \nIf you want to leave islam and become a Christian they kill you.\nThe scientific discoveries that the arabs did , that was a long time ago.

Islam agrees with Both.... God is The Creator, and He is also Evolver. these are one of the attributes of God in islam. Whereever there is a Creation, He is "The Creator", Whereever there is an Evolution, He is "The Evolver"\n\nIt depends on which evolution you are talking about .>>>> Islam does not believe that humans have been evolve from monkeys??? \n\nThis evolution is not a fact. thats why it is called as "darwins THEORY of evolution"\n\nIslam belives that God created the whole universe... and we know ,, that after big bang there is a continues evolution in the universe. God says in Quran that first human being was "Adam" , and he was a complete man. Islam believes that "God is also the evolver">>> and we know ,, that when child borns,,, he is not able to sit properly ,, and evolution of his body does takes place. and child grows up. whereever you see,, there is a design in teh evolution... because there is a designer behind that. i.e GOD ALMIGHTY. ... GOD IS THE CREATOR AND SUSTAINER OF ALL THAT EXIST,,,, God makes that child to grow up. SO! WHERE EVER THERE IS A CREATION... GOD IS THE CREATOR,, WHEREEVER THERE IS AN EVOLUTION. GOD IS THE EVOLVER. \n\nTHESE VERSES OF QURAN MIGHT HELP YOU..hope this is clear to you\n\n\n30:27 God begins the process of creation; Then repeats it; and For him it is most easy. Yusaf Ali \n\n24:45 And God created from water every living creature. Some of them walk on their bellies, some walk on two legs, and some walk on four. God creates whatever He wills. God is Omnipotent.

Dear brother, I am not a big scholar in Islam, but I got my answer for your question. If you want to know the intellectual basis of Qur’an, you must come out of your own pre-assumptions and search for the truth. \nI\nThen start from any point, let it be Holy Qur’an, The life of PROPHET. You will clearly see the truth.  \n \nI infer that you have the basic idea regarding what Islam is. Did you purposely ignore the scientific revelations in Qur’an?  I can answer you from many regions of Islam\nLet me start from Qur’an, \nDoes the Qur'an claim Divine status for itself?\n\n ANSWER IS YES\n\nThe Holy Qur'an repeatedly makes clear that it is Divine.\n\n"(This is) the revelation of the Book in which there is no doubt, from the Lord of the Worlds." (32:2).\n\n"Verily this is a Revelation from the Lord of the Worlds" (26:192).\n\n"(It is a Revelation) sent down by (Him), the Exalted in Might, Most Merciful" (36:5).\nAs far as its believers are concerned, the Qur'an is but the criterion to distinguish truth from falsehood. They understand that all that has been commanded therein constitute the good and all that has been prohibited therein constitute evil. In fact, the Qur'an introduces itself as Furqaan (2:53, 2:185, 3:4, 25:1) which means 'the criterion to distinguish between truth and falsehood.'\nThe theme of the Qur'an is the salvation of man. As the only creation capable of independent action, man is to follow certain laws for his very survival and progress. All things in the universe follow the Divine laws of their own accord. Indeed, they do not possess the option of straying from this set course. In fact, the systemic functioning of the human body itself compulsorily follows the Divine laws. However, man has been granted freedom of action in certain limited domains. Even in these spheres he can attain salvation if, and only if, he obeys the Divine commandments.\nIt is to mankind that the Qur'an speaks. It is to his salvation that the Qur'an beckons. It convinces him of the existence of the Lord Creator by turning his attention to the varied and incredible phenomena of nature. It speaks to him of the impermanence of the life of this world and of the utter meaninglessness of wasting an entire lifetime in pursuit of the comforts herein. It makes clear to him the path which must be followed in order that he be of that blessed group which becomes worthy of the entry into Paradise as of the safety from the confines of Hell.\n\nIt invites his attention to the history of those who purchased the punishment of Hell in exchange for the comforts of this world. It tells him of those who were granted the entry into Paradise for having led a life of purity. \n\nBriefly put, the Qur'an prepares man for attaining salvation both in this world and the next through obedience to the Divine commandments.\n\n\nCan you point out one scientific mistake in Qur’an? Do you think one ordinary illiterate man (Muhammad PBUH) created this Holy Scripture? If you believe so, how he came to know about many scientific facts described by Qur’an which was proved correct by modern science? This is only a very small part of your answer. \n"Invite to the Way of your Lord with wisdom and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided." \nHoly Qur’an 16:125

I hope my answer will be of help, but what I am going to wirte is very concise for more details try to see islam web sites.\nOur main book is the Holly Quoraan, after that is Sunnah \n\nIslam mainly depends on five principals:\n\n1- There is no God but Allah (no son, wife...), and Muhammed (PBUH)is the prophet.\n\n2-Pray (5 times/day)\n3-Almsgiving (zakaa) giving 2.5% to be given to the poor from your money that was kept for more than a year. \n\n4-Fast Ramadan (from dusk to dawn) \n5-Pilgrimage to Al Ka'ba-in Mecca.\n\nAnd most of all to be of high standard of morals and ethics. Islam tells us to be patient, tolerant, keep our promises, work hard. and most of all to be of high standard of morals and ethics.\n\nIt is like any other religion but with more rules to organize our lives.

Islam is a religion, like Christianity and Judaism.  All the followers of Islam are called muslims.  Islam has several sects, just like Christianity which has Catholics, Baptists, Methodists, etc.  Sunnis and Shi'ites are two of the sects of Islam.  Sunnis are the great majority of all muslims.  Shi'ites are in a minority everywhere except Iran.\n\nAfghans are people who are citizens of Afghanistan, a country.  Just like Americans are citizens of the United States of America.\n\nInsurgents are terrorists/rebels who are trying to overthrow the popularly elected government in Iraq.

Islam\n"Surrender, submitting." Islam is the name of the true religion, according to the Qur'an. One who submits to God is a Muslim. The same root (*slm) as salam "peace." There are five or six central Islamic beliefs: monotheism, revelatory scriptures, angels, prophets, eschatology and (not always) predestination.

Ahmadiya is not considered Islam. the Quran clearly states that prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is the seal of the Prophets. \n\ni suggest you check out Sunni Islam.\n\npeace.

Me: Muslim\n\nJesus in Islam    \n\nThe Islamic view of Jesus (or, “Isa in Arabic, ;- peace be upon him) lies between two extremes. The Jews, who rejected Isa (Jesus) as a Prophet, called him an imposter. The Christians, on the other hand, considered him to be the son of God and worship him as such. Islam considers Isa (Jesus, Peace be upon him ) to be one of the great Prophets of Allah and respects him as much as Ibrahim (Abraham), Musa (Moses), and Muhammad (peace be upon them all). This is in conformity with the Islamic view of the oneness of God (Allah), the oneness of Divine guidance, and the complementary role of the subsequent mission of Allah’s messengers. \n\nThe essence of Islam- willing submission to the will of Allah- was revealed to Adam ( - peace be upon him), who passed it on to his children. All the following revelations to Nuh (Noah), Ibrahim, Musa, Isa (Jesus), and, finally, Muhammad (peace be upon them all) are in conformity with that message, with some elaboration to define the relation between man and God, man and man, man and his en­vironment, and living according to Allah’s instructions. Thus, Islam views any contradictions among revealed religions as a man-made element introduced into these religions. The position of Isa (Jesus, Peace be upon him ) in the three major creeds- Judaism, Christianity, and Islam- is not an exception. \nMiraculous Birth\n\nAlthough the Qur'an does not present a detailed life-story of Isa (Jesus, Peace be upon him ), it high­lights the important aspects of his birth, his mission, his ascension to heaven, and passes judgment on the Christian beliefs concerning him. The Qur'anic account of Isa (Jesus, Peace be upon him ) starts with the conception of his mother, Maryam (Mary, peace be upon her), whose mother, the wife of Imran, vowed to dedicate her child to the service of God in the temple. When Maryam (Peace be upon her)  became a woman, the Holy Spirit (the angel Jibraîl ) appeared to her as a man bringing her the news of a son. We read the following dialogue in the Qur'an between Maryam (Peace be upon her)  and the angel: \n\nWhen the angels said: ‘O Mary! Allah gives thee glad tidings of a Word from Him, whose name is the Messiah, Jesus, Peace be upon him son of Mary, illustrious in the world and the Hereafter, and one of those brought near (unto Allah). \n\n  He will speak unto mankind in his cradle and in his manhood, and he will be of the righteous.’ \n\nShe said: ‘My Lord! How can I have a child when no mortal has touched me?’ He said: ‘So (it will be). Allah creates what He will. If He decrees a thing, He says unto it only: “Be!” and it is.’  (Ali-Imran, 3:45-47) \n\nIn a chapter (surah) entitled “Maryam” (Mary), the Qur'an tells us how Maryam (Peace be upon her)  gave birth to her son, and how the Jews accused her when she brought the child home: \n\nThen she brought him to her own folk, carrying him. They said: ‘O Mary! Thou hast come with an amazing thing. O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not a wicked man nor was thy mother a woman unchaste.’ \n\nThen she pointed to him. They said, ‘How can we talk to one who is in the cradle, a young boy?’ \n\nHe spoke: ‘Lo! I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Scripture and has appointed me a Prophet; And has made me blessed wheresoever I may be, and has enjoined upon me prayer and alms-giving so long as I live; And (has made me) dutiful toward her who bore me, and has not made me arrogant, wicked. Peace be upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the day I shall be raised alive!’ (Maryam, 19:27-33) \n\nIn the same chapter, following the above quotation, Allah assures Muhammad ( peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and through him the whole world, that what is told above is the TRUTH about Isa (Jesus, Peace be upon him ), although the Christians might not accept it. Isa (Jesus, Peace be upon him ) is NOT the “son of God”: he was, obviously enou

I see civilisation as a group who carry out tasks that are beneficial for the group as a whole, and not just the individual. Therefore the following animals have a basic form of civilisation:\n\n\nGenerally pack animals (eg lions/wolves): Have a hierarchy and look after each other. Hunt for the young and teach them how to hunt.\nColony insects: gather food and build nursery's for their young, have a sort of collective "brain" and job structure.
