Not a Muslim, but I've seen the impersonation before, and it is usually so transparent.  I "called" someone on it just the other night, telling them I didn't believe they were Muslim, rather impersonating one to try and give Muslims a bad name.\n\nThanks for the tips!

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.

Christianity has a long history of converting people "by the sword".  Just because they've decided in recent years that talking people to death is a better way to convert them doesn't mean that they don't have a long and violent history.  As for users of this line seeming content with accepting that any and all Muslims are terrorists, it's been my observation that most of the people who use this line are incredibly narrow-minded and blind to anything beyond what they believe, so are you really surprised that they'd rather stereotype all Muslims than hear an honest depiction of another religion?

Its really not right to judge another person whether Muslim or non-Muslim, its really just between yourself and Allah, Allah will forgive who he wills and punish those he wills, if you believe you have repented enough for your sins and do not committ the same sins over again then Im sure you'll be forgiven. And as for the deen, i wouldn't worry about what the rest of the muslims think/say about you its your relationship with God, not your relationship with other muslims that makes you a righteous person.

I feel the more appropriate question would be.....\n"Do you hate the True Islam or the True muslims?"\n\nThe reason I am saying this is because not many people know this. They think all muslims are the same, unfortunately, you have those muslims who have not understoon the concept of their religion and are just fanatics.\n\nIslam and muslims have been truely misconceptioned in the media. The muslims know it- but the non muslims dont and need to know more about the religion. (Not just by browsing through the  net or listening to the media, but by asking true good muslims and scholars about Islam)\n\nHow would you feel if someone told you that Osama bin laden was a christian or a jew or even a hindu????\nOr the crusades and holocaust was good????\n\nThats how muslims feel when you say OSama bin laden is a muslim... his claim to be a muslim is false or invalid, because he acts nothing like a muslim.

well said, baryoshaa..\nI commend your feeling.\nBut, i asked this not to justify any of religion or to hurt any religion including Islam.\n\nbut... all of your statements about "Would it be fair to blame all Christians for what Adolfe Hitler did to the jews, and all those who refused to join christianity?" and so on.\n\nisn't that what most "muslim" in yahoo answers did? -notice i put quotation- (as a sign of trying not to generalize)\nI've seen that actions all the time done by many of the yahoo answers participants who claimed to be muslims..\n\neverytime any q start to argue about validity of islam, many of them always resort to "Christian BAD BAD BAD..."\ninstead of just genuinely answer the q.\nwhy they assume the asker is Christian?\n\nLike what you did...just now.\nIsn't it possible that the people who question them are kids or some ignorants who could very well be muslim (who doesn't do his homework in reading the Quran).

One might ask the same thing of Muslims.

First, you tell them about the history/principles of Islam; then you give them answers about any misperceptions of Islam that they have (e.g. terrorism; slavery; intolerance of other religions; suicide); third, you give them a comparison between Islam and other religions (e.g. why does it make more sense that God has no son, instead of claiming that God is three in one and one in three - Father, son, holy spirit)...\nBut of course, that person has to be willing to read, listen with open ears and heart. And you have to ask God to guide them, for He is the only one that can, not you: people are only guided if God so wishes. I have written a book, maybe this could help you out.

Then you're very naive. You're clearly stupid and a fan of dictatorships. No one values the opinion of such a cretin. You cannot prove that someone is a muslim, and you can be one whilst pretending not to. This isn't Nazi Germany, stop being such a racist imbecile.

so far i've got two.  one from a gal who got pissed because i yelled at her for putting her homework on Answers.  the other was because i called someone a moron.\n\ni feel like i'm about to get more---just had heated words with a 'muslim' who didn't appreciate my take on 'islam-the religion of peace'.  he thinks i got all my info from 'biased news services' when i really got it from reading that dopey book, the koran.\n\nUPDATE!!!!! yes, i did get a third.  'ahmed' got Yahoo to pull another one of my answers.  what a moron.

This link gives more details\nBecause the core of the story is not related to the printing of the orignal and "genuine" 12 cartoons...\n\nAt the end of the link, the dark brown pics are the added cartoons that many say, the Danish Imam added when he wanted to create reactions from the muslim countries (5 months after the incident !).\n\nIf you have, like the Mufti of Marseille would say, maturity in your faith (if you are Muslim) the 12 original Cartoons should not make you react. Like the Mufti of Marseille says, Mr. Benchek, freedom of speech has been an essential aspect of how muslim live in the West. The reactions are proof that Muslims are not strong in their Faith and feel insulted for just a few pics of bad taste (he was reffering to ONLY the original Cartoons and not the Mysteriously 3 added ones...)\n\nMake sure you read throughly to distingish what is said.... Because if you only "look" you will be another one of the manipulated persons, which ever side of the coin you are on.\n\nCiao !

I'm a Muslim......I've never run around killing people and I don't know any Muslim who has. Why to go perpetuating stereotypes.... Why don't you try asking a question with just an ounce of intelligence?

Right now when people hear "Muslim" they instead think "terrorist."  I know better than this, but unfortunately, you're going to get a lot of ignorant answers to this question.\n\nThe Muslims I have known have been very loving, very sincere about their religion.  They behave very kindly towards others.  I notice two other things about them:  one is they tended to be a little more superstitious than I expected.  Another is that they tended to not hang out a lot with non-Muslims.  \n\nTake care

I can state the facts that:\n\nI have seen the practice of killing the converts done in\nmy country.\n(to the very least, usually they were shunned by the society as the outcast)\n \nBut, whether it is truly an islamic thing to do or not, i don't really know.\n\nAnd Nikki, i think you need to get out of your room and open your eyes to the world, dear.\nThere are many that converts from Islam to other religions and happy with it as much as those from other religions that converts to Islam.\n\nNot acknowledging it is just trying to escape from the reality.
