no its not at all ofending but thanks for being considerate.\nwe take life decisions just like anybody else, but true muslims make sure to have god a participant in this decision.\nwe pray alot, we ask god to guide us the right way, and push us away from the wrong way.\nwe settle for whatever god sends us, good or bad, and we thank him for it good or bad.\nbecause after all, we know that god only wants to give us the good, even if takes time and even if means that bad has to come first.\npeace and blessings.\nthanks for asking politely.

Well Those who do it are not even Muslims from their hearts...\nThse are the people who are brainwashed by some terrorist organizations who are actually against Islam...\nWho want to insult Islam & give Islam a bad name....\nSo they kidnap poor muslim teenagers, & train[brainwash] them for years & just make them agree that if they blow them selves up, the will get heaven & their family will be supported financially for lifetime......\n\nSo actually the point is that as Allah has given humans FREE WILL, he does what he wants....\n& he trains people to blow themselves in the name of GOD which is totally against Islam...\n\nAll this is just scam ....\nthere are people other than Muslims who r doing all this naming Muslims do it....\n\n\nIts a big conspiracy against Islam....

Is the this the tolerance Non-Muslims keep bragging about? (Shoot yourself,your going to hell, ..etc). Well, you're not so different than Muslim extremists. It's evident that extremists aren't exclusive to Muslims then, eh? \n\nTo Heart-beat, \nPeace unto you,\nHere's a nice link to start with:\nhttp://www.iprofess.com/howtoconvert.htm\n\nMy advice is, a person grows in Islam. I'm a born Muslima and it took me years to wear the Hijab. So, how can we expect for newly converts to wear it right away. Unless you see it of benefit for you do so. What is most important now is to learn how to make ablution, pray, fast, and learn more about Islamic creed. These are the basics, the rest you'll learn as you grow. Arabic is important but remember the majority of Muslims are non-Arabic speakers and still practice Islam. Remember don't crowd yourself with so much to do and forget the essentials.\nTo learn how to pray, these links should help:\n\nFirst how to make ablution (wudu)\nwhich is essential to prayer:\nhttp://www.islamicity.com/Mosque/salat/salat6.htm\n\nPrayer (I provided different sources as one might be clearer than the other to you)\n\nhttp://www.islamicity.com/Mosque/salat/salat9.htm\n\nhttp://www.bahagia.btinternet.co.uk/prayer3.html#niyat\n\nhttp://www.jannah.com/learn/prayer.html\n\nhttp://www.islam101.com/dawah/HowToSalah.ppt#1\n\n\n\nRules of Fasting:\nhttp://www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satellite?pagename=IslamOnline-English-Ask_Scholar/FatwaE/FatwaE&cid=1119503546140\n\n\nFeel free to contact me for anymore questions, especially if you want a sisters feedback. \n\nI'll keep you in my prayers and wish you the best in whatever you do. May Allah (swt) ease your journey and guide you to what He pleases.

I am Muslim and I can answer this for you:\n\nA person is a Muslim when they CHOOSE to be a Muslim. It doesnt matter if your Mother, Father, and your whole family are Muslims--you can only be a Muslim when you CHOOSE Islam.\n\nThere are people whose parents are Muslims, but they themselves are not because they dont want to be. \n\nWhen a person become an adult, they have to make the decision to be a Muslim. It has to come from the heart and be sincere. \n\nWhat makes a person a Muslim is this:\n1. Believing there is only 1 God.\n\n2. Believing in the Prophets of God: Moses, Jesus, Abraham, King David, and all the many others--and believing in the messages they taught. And believing in the Koran as the last and final book sent from God. \n\n3. Believing in Day of Judgement and the AfterLife. Knowing that we are here on earth as a test; and in the end, God will reward us with Heaven or hellfire.\n\nThose are the main things-once you believe this, you will be guided to greater Truth as time goes by. \n\nCheck out this site, and it will answer Most of your questions.\nPeace

wether its the act or the react , is the main question. first of all muslims (not muslums) embraced Islam as their way of life (and death), Islam (and all other relegions) never teach its believers to be a bad human,  bad to other human, bad to animals, or even bad to any plants and earth.. Its all begin with a concerted effort by the hidden hands to label muslims apparantly, and they succeeded. They planed their plans hundreds of years ago to achieve this state of global labelling on muslims, they try to play god, but have they forget God;s plan is better than their plans?. God is most Mercyful, all catastrophies on this earth is from our own wrong doings. God created a logical reason just to suit our level of thinkings, has any of us observed how great were the previous nation during civilization before us? have we ever understand why those civilizations, which were great vanished? or is it just a coincident? The Romans were so advance and powerful, but where were they? Was it because of the works of terrorist during their era?.. Where are Babylonians now? Why there is only the Ankor Wat's Temple there, what happened to the Ayuthians? Do they vanished because of the terrorist?\nThis could happen to Americans too.... the signs, the hurricanes, the earth has spoken, lightly... just wait until the dollar values drop in next 7 months... America is Big, if Big falls, it will fall hard...

I am a muslim woman.  I have two children.  I teach them both to treat others as they would like to be treated, to apologize if they accidentally harm someone or insult somebody, and to have manners.  I don't know a single muslim with these insane plans in mind.  In other countries, probably, but I know of none here.

In Islam we are told by God that we will each be judged by what we did with our lives, good or bad. Those of us who knew Him and followed Him can gain Paradise, those of us who knew Him but refused Him will not. Those who did not know Him will not be judged based on something they had no knowledge of. There will be Muslims and non-Muslims who enter Paradise, and there will be Muslims and non-Muslims who do NOT enter Paradise. Your title does not guarantee your place in eternity, only your deeds and your devotion to your Creator.

life is small enjoyment and it will end soon , so life is intended for the people to worship ALLAH and then all the people will go to judgment day and they will be distributed to hell or heaven according to their performance in the world.so you have got time to benefit and do good things while you are in the world.

According to the holy book of muslims - Quran\n\nFor a Muslim, his faith is first demonstrated by the five daily ritual Prayers called Salah. These Prayers are so important that they are the second Pillar of Islam after the Testimony of Faith (“There is no god but God and Muhammad is the Messenger of God”), obligatory for all, and they are the first thing the Muslim will be asked about on Judgment Day.\n\nFive times a day a Muslim is asked to stop whatever he is doing — be it sleep, work, or play — and make a ritual ablution before facing his Lord in Prayer. No matter what his actions, the most important thing to a Muslim is his relationship with Allah. This relationship is demonstrated and put into practice, as well as improved and increased, by the ritual Prayers. Only if the Prayers are sound and proper will the deeds be sound and proper.\n\nIn the Prayer, the Muslim faces towards the Ka‘bah in Makkah, the symbol of the Oneness of Allah and the unity of Muslims. He stands, bows, and prostrates to his Lord while praising Him, reciting some of the words He revealed in the Qur’an, and asking for His forgiveness and mercy. In doing so, the Muslim reminds himself of his position in the universe as a humble servant of Allah and of his total dependence on his Creator, Cherisher and Sustainer.\n\nWhen the Prayer is performed properly — with due humility and remembrance of Allah — it has a lasting effect on the person. It fills his heart with the remembrance of Allah, and with fear of and hope in Him. He will not want to move from that lofty position by disobeying Allah.\n\nThe Prophet compared this experience of making ablution and praying five times a day to having a river running in front of one’s house. If one bathed in that river five times a day, would any filth remain on his body? Likewise, the ablution and Prayer five times a day removes one’s sins and also prevents him from sinning.\n\nPrayers also affect the life of the Muslim by encouraging him to schedule his activities around their fixed times. There is some flexibility, for each time is actually a span of one hour or more. But the Muslim who is conscious of Allah will strive to schedule his life in such a way that he does not miss any of the Prayers — for example, by postponing a shopping trip until after a Prayer, or by taking a break from work, or by sleeping earlier so as to able to rise for the Dawn Prayer.\n\nTherefore, if one really believes in Allah, he will show it by his commitment to the five daily Prayers, and these, in turn, will help him to live righteously.

I too have studied the Islamic faith and I must say some of it is very good indeed honesty dont eat before your neighbour to takes ones life is to take the life of all mankindetc. But pissing in your clothes etc is very very funny. Killing the infidel unless he pays you well that is laughable A muslims lets you live because you give him money . Whoops you leave the islamic following and you can be killed and the Muslim that does it  cannot be punished.

I do not agree that that are, or that a Muslim life style is so much different to a Western Lifestyle. In order to back up this questions you would need to provide examples of people that you believe are doing this.
