When some Muslims pray, do they sometimes pray for "death to America"?

why you always misjudges our religion like that?\nwe know that the Americans are not to blame and that most of them are against violence so why we would pray for that?ISLAM is the religion of peace and love.Read your self about our religion and you will see how our prophet treated other people and how merciful he is even with his enemies.Dont listen to peolpe who hates us .Our prophet himself more than once said that he was not sent to curse other people but to be merciful to them.We only pray for the innocent people whom your president attacked without any reason .We pray for their survival because they didnt do anything.We pray also for the palastinian who are suffering from the israelian peolpe.\nAsk ur self why AMERICA is aiding Israel?

First of all I don't think that Islamification of America is a possibility anywhere in the near future unless the democrats come in and screw everything up. Second of all if more people knew about Islam then they might not be so quick to jump on the band wagon and call for a retreat from Iraq. In fact if Americans weren't so ignorant and looked into things before they went jumping to anything then America would probably be in a lot better shape. Did you know that there are over 100 million Islamic believers around the world? If we were really generous and said that only 1% wanted to kill Christians, and by Christians I mean all Americans because that is how they see America, then that means there are over 1 million Islamics that wish Americans to die. The number in all reality is closer to 14% which means there are 14 million Islamics that wish to kill Americans. Islam is a threat to America and if the American government and its people do not take action there could be severe consequences.

Any person who declares their faith in Islam these days needs to know they won't be the most popular kid on the block. The tragedy of September 11th, is something that will never be forgotten and unfortuneately it's perpetrators were Arabs. No matter how vehemently any Muslim would seek to explain the differences between true Islam and Arab nationalism, it simply won't wash with your average American. It's all the same in just about everyone's eyes. So whomever is truly seeking to become a muslim nowadays better know, He or she is surely going to be tested for their faith.

Why do you think all Americans hate Muslims?  I lived in Indonesia for awhile.  I even fasted for Rahmadan (please forgive my spelling) out of respect for my host family.  It was hard, but I though alot about God during that time.  I went to church last sunday and heard a surrmon on how Islam is a false religion.  I got so mad I walked out and will not return to that church.  If we do not preach religious tollerance, what will the world become.  So, no personaly I do not hate Muslims.  What I don't like though, are terrorists foriegn or American.

lol, because jihadists never adopt american ways? Such as the many that now live in America and have american homes, american clothes, and go to christian churches.  I think what we should all be rooting for is an end to any jihad or war, so that people can stop dying because of religeous differences...but that's me :)

well, since you're a mulla, you should pray to Allah and he'll do it for you. All this POP3 and reply-to settings are for infidels.

Sure here it is:\n\n"...4.89 They desire that you should disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so that you might be (all) alike; therefore take not from among them friends until they fly (their homes) in Allah's way; but if they turn back, then seize them and KILL THEM wherever you find them, and take not from among them a friend or a helper..."\n\nIslam although started as benign (minority phase) became more oppressive as it gained power and rule over people (majority rule phase). This one here cancels out the others where execution of "force" is shunned (it's very hard to execute force when you're handful).\n\nHowever, Koran asks us to kill the ones who were once Muslims but now they are not. It's moderate and forgiving to those "of the book" (meaning christians and jews) but unforgiving to the ones who turn from the religion. \n\nIt's understandable for Christians and jews are "others" who see it from outside, whereas once-muslims know about the inside deal. \n\nA little bit too dangerous to warrant death penalty. Well, just remember Brutus.

Muslims want to run their country with the quran, not democracy. If the quran says to kill christians to get to heaven, thats what they will do.

yes muslims do.\n\nMuslims believe that the present life is a trial in preparation for the next realm of existence. When a Muslim dies, he or she is washed and wrapped in a clean, white cloth (usually by a family member) and buried after a special prayer, preferably the same day. Muslims consider this a final service that they can do for their relatives and an opportunity to remember that their own existence here on earth is brief.\n\nThe question of whether there is life after death does not fall under the jurisdiction of science, as science is concerned only with classification and analysis of sense data. Moreover, man has been busy with scientific inquiries and research, in the modern sense of the term, only for the last few centuries, while he has been familiar with the concept of life after death since time immemorial.\nAll the Prophets of God called their people to worship God and to believe in life after death. They laid so much emphasis on the belief in life after death that even a slight doubt in it meant denying God and made all other beliefs meaningless.\n\nThe very fact that all the Prophets of God have dealt with this metaphysical question of life after death so confidently and so uniformly - the gap between their ages in some cases, being thousands of years - goes to prove that the source of their knowledge of life after death as proclaimed by them all, was the same, i.e. Divine revelation.\n\nWe also know that these Prophets of God were greatly opposed by their people, mainly on the issue of life after death, as their people thought it impossible. But in spite of opposition, the Prophets won many sincere followers.\n\nThe question arises: what made those followers forsake the established beliefs, traditions and customs of their forefathers, notwithstanding the risk of being totally alienated from their own community? The simple answer is: they made use of their faculties of mind and heart and realized the truth.\n\nDid they realize the truth through perceptual consciousness? They couldn’t, as perceptual experience of life after death is impossible. God has given man besides perceptual consciousness, rational, aesthetic and moral consciousness too. It is this consciousness that guides man regarding realities that cannot be verified through sensory data. That is why all the Prophets of God while calling people to believe in God and life after death, appeal to the aesthetic, moral and rational consciousness of man.\n\nFor example, when the idolaters of Makkah denied even the possibility of life after death, the Quran exposed the weakness of their stand by advancing very logical and rational arguments in support of it:\n\n And he (i.e. man) presents for Us an example (i.e. attempting to establish the finality of death) and forgets his [own] creation. He says, “Who will give life to bones while they are disintegrated?” Say, “He will give them life who produced them the first time; and He is, of all creation, Knowing.” [It is] He who made for you from the green tree, fire, and then from it you ignite. Is not He who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the likes of them? Yes, [it is so]; and He is the Knowing Creator.  (Quran, 36:78-81)\n\nOn another occasion, the Quran very clearly says that the disbelievers have no sound basis for their denial of life after death. It is based on pure conjecture:\n\n And they say, “There is not but our worldly life; we die and live (i.e. some people die and others live, replacing them) and nothing destroys us except time.” And they have of that no knowledge; they are only assuming. And when Our verses are recited to them as clear evidences, their argument is only that they say, “Bring [back] our forefathers, if you should be truthful.” Say, “God causes you to live, then causes you to die; then He will assemble you for the Day of Resurrection, about which there is no doubt,” but most of the people do not know.  (Quran, 45:24-26)\n\nSurely God will rais

hmm, there was this thing that happened in our history, what was it,\n\noh yes,  for the last 15 to 1400 years the radical muslim islamic movement has been killing civilians in order to make the whole planet an islamic caliphate,\n\nI could give you the BS answer of September 11 but there is a history on Earth of this movement again and again trying to take over governments,\n\none example that comes to mind is China in 1421, where the progress of that nation that was ahead of the rest of the world 400 years came to a hault, \n\nso it is a threat because of a) I kind of like the progress of science, b) i don't want to worship their fu(king god allah, and c) I kind of like my wife geting an education and getting to go to work and not having to wear no god damned vail, and d) I like voting for my leaders, the american constition, and of course e) my civil liberites, right to trial by jury afforded my via US constitution,\n\nmy advice to the US govt,  find all muslims that want to kill civilians and have the means to do so, money, weapons, and kill them first,\nsecond, convince islamic leaders and leaders in these countries to not spread the seeds of hate, for the true religion is a peaceful one

Honey, there are many Muslims that are American too. It's not the good Muslims that are causing this and it would be an unjust move. Besides, sleeper cells would find another way in another guise to form their cells. So no, it would not be the right thing to do. The Muslims have just as much right to be here as Christians or Jews or Budhist or whatever. America is freedom and freedom applies to religion as well. God bless.=)

No, I do not think it is right at all. Obviously you're talking about the Middle East. You know what America's interference in the Middle East reminds me of? What our forefathers did to the natives...we forced our religion and way of life down their throats and slaughtered all those who didn't comply. And you have to wonder whether or not they were the lucky ones, considering the survivors got disease and alcoholism back for their troubles (I know, that's a generalization, but anyone who knows their history can't deny it!). America- meaning the government- needs to realize once and for all that the rest of the world does not want to be American, or else they would have adopted American culture/system/religion in the first place. I believe that of all the atrocities the Bush administration have committed, treating Muslims like the indians of the 21st Century could very well be the worst.\n\nAnd all these people who are saying America doesn't force religion are way off. What the hell do you think all these Christian aid workers are doing? They're not just handing out aid and comfort- they're handing out bibles as well. I'm a very lapsed Catholic myself, but it drives me nuts when I see people portraying Christianity as completely innocent and perfect. No religion is perfect, nor is any one superior to the others...they're all based on the same myths and legends, people.

I agree with you there. And can I just say that while I know not every American is exactly the same, it does frequently seem to be people from the US that are sending me instant messages trying to convert me and get me to repent because they believe the end of the world is near and they want to save me!\n\nReligion figures as a huge part of some peoples lives I guess, but I do wish we could be allowed to form our own opinions in peace!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN by prayers to death.\ndo you mean prayer for funeral.\na good ol one is the ol ruggard cross but it is a hym.\neven the lords prayer ...

It depends what you mean by pray. \nThere is 'salat' which involves not only prayers or supplication in words but also some body movements of standing with your arms folded slightly below your chest, bowing and then prostrating (like kissing the ground) and repeating this cycle either twice, thrice or four times depending on which out of the 5 'salats'. At every position, muslims recite in Arabic, prayers usually involving praising God, the Beneficent, the Merciful, Mostworthy of Praises.\nCompulsory salats are done 5 times throughout the day at specified times. The optional ones, suffice to say, can be done anytime up to how many times as you please.\n\nThere is also 'do'a' - a form of prayer where you sit in contemplation and ask God anything that you wish for, world peace, happiness for yourself, for others. Anything at all. Muslims pray for their parents, their children, friends and whomoever they  wish well. This can be done anytime, anywhere, in the buses and trains. It can be said in a whisper, loudly if the occasion permits and best in tears of humility. The prophet Muhammad taught specific do'as for various occasion in the daily life; you recite something specific the moment you wake up, put on your makeup, combing your hair, putting on a dress and I am not kidding, there is a specific do'a for everything and this ain't Dionne Warwicke lyrics.\n\n'Salat' takes precedence between the two as it is compulsory and a Muslim is judged by it on Judgment Day. \n\nStatistics shows that only 20% of Muslims worldwide perform the salat regularly, let alone use the do'a as a daily habitual practice. Hope that this might answer your question.
