Did you know that Islam means 'Submit' when translated?  It's the same as Mein Kampf?

correcting the first poster, Islam means submission (to God).\nIsalm, like other Judeo-Christian religious sects has the precept'thou shalt not kill', read up on th efive pillars of Islam, proper muslims give a tenth of all the own to charity, more than most ppl. However, Muslim from the beginning had an agressive edge to it as it mixed with the local religions (why theres genies and stuff there, traditional Persian stuff got mixed in) and its this desire to convert that made it spread so far in the first place (from middle east all across north africa and to India in a remarkably short time). \nPeaceful? perhaps, expansionist? definitely, but then what religion doesnt want to expand?

Westerners don't know nor do they care too much about Islam. But for most, when we first heard about the motivation of terrorists, we hear new words like "Jihad", "Allah", etc.\n\nThat's the first impressions for a lot of us. We didn't go looking for this "first impression", -some of Islam's "Jihadists" threw it on our doorstep.\n\nNow you ask westerners to accept a full clearer picture of what Islam is?? Then fine, -tell us how you condemn the barbaric practice of random murders and killing innocents.

Islam is a beautiful and highly misunderstood religion that has been tarnished by both the American media and the violent fundamentalists who both have tried to twist it into something it is most certainly not. Islam is a way of life based on peace and the search for God.\n\n  Below is a source I've used for most of my research on the Koran and the Islamic path.

the one who sent Judaisms is the same one who sent Christianity and Islam. \n\nMuhammad cannot read or write. Muhammad isn't a superman or a superpower. and this language in the Quran cannot come from any humans. \n\nGod words collected in a book called Quran\nMuhammad words collected in a book called Hadith.\nif you compare the Quran with the Hadith, you will find alot of difference. \n\nabout the word Allah. if you open the Christan Arabic Bible you will also find the word Allah. the christian Arabic Bible mentioned the word Allah maybe more than the Quran.\n\nYour God and our God is only one and we are the muslims (submit and surrounder to God alone)\n\nand God challenged anyone to come up with a book like this. you wouldn't be able to do it, and you will never do it . Read:\nQuran ch2\n[23] And if you (Arab pagans, Jews, and Christians) are in doubt concerning that which We have sent down (i.e. the Qur'ân) to Our slave (Muhammad (peace be upon him) then produce a Sûrah (Chapter) of the like thereof and call your witnesses (supporters and helpers) besides Allâh, if you are truthful. \n\n[24] But if you do it not, and you can never do it, then fear the Fire (Hell) whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the disbelievers.

First of all Islam means totally submitting to God's will in every aspect of life. We believe that worshiping God alone and submitting to Him (Islam) is the core of every message that God has sent to the world, and thus the most important teachings of all God's messengers are the same.\nDifferences in the messages were in secondary issues and not in the core beliefs. Each message was appropriate for the time period in which it was sent. Since Islam was the last message sent by God, He Glory be to Him made it appropriate for every time and place.\n\nSo in the core beliefs we are Muslims (submitters to God) just like Jesus peace be upon him and all the messengers from Adam until Mohammed peace be upon them all.

Your question alone shows me that you have no idea what Islam is.  Let me put a question to you have you ever read the Holy Quran?  I know the answer is NO.  My friend read it before you talk or atleast visit my site to get some basics about Islam.  http://askmuslims.com\n\nHope to hear from you.  E-mail me....

They are either scared they will be punished by same people!... or the so-called moderate Muslims do actually endorse the murder done in the name of their religion.\n\nIslam actually translates as submission, it is an uncompromising & harsh form of population control, closet thing to Star Treks "The Borg"... "YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED" is their mission statement...Um! well, actually no thank you! and no thank you to the Christians who are competing to be runner-up borg alikes.

i wud like ya to tell...that read both scriptures..Bible and Quran..n decide...which one is best......\n\nto know about islam ... ya can add me .. afrasiyabk@yahoo.com \n\nIslam is a Semitic religion, which has over one billion adherents all over the world. Islam means "submission to the will of God". Muslims accept the Qur’an, as the word of God revealed to His last and final prophet, Mohammed (peace be upon him). Islam states that Allah sent messengers and prophets throughout the ages with the message of Unity of God, and accountability in the Hereafter. Islam thus makes it an article of faith to believe in all the earlier prophets, starting with Adam, and continuing with Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, David, John and Jesus amongst many others (may peace be on them all).\n\nISLAM IS THE FASTEST GROWING RELIGION OF THE WORLD.\n\nAccording to the statistics of USA.more then 400 pple accept Islam every day..in USA.....and the growth increased after 9/11...do u know why? read Qu'ran with understanding.....after 9/11 ..when media started misrepresent islam...pple started to learn about Islam...and they read scriptures , hadiths etc...which they found a true religion ....thats why Islam is the fastest growing religion....\n\n\nPEACE.

I'm sick of it.  \n\nI've tried to understand it.  But, am told that the English translations of the Koran are bogus.  Intrepretations of someone else's idea of the Koran.  So, basically I never can understand the meaning.  What a bunch of BS. Imagine if Christians told that to everyone who challenged the Bible.\n\nI'm tired of getting nasty emails for my thoughts.  I'm tired of getting threatening emals.  It makese me wonder what the true face of Islaam is.  I know the answer to that one already - just disappointed that Muslims can't defend their beliefs.  Instead they just say that I can't understand the Koran.  Or, the version is bogus.  Or, that I need to learn Arabic and become a scholar.\n\nI'm forming my beliefs as we speak.  What I've come to realize is that Muhammed was a false prophet decieved by Satan.  And, together they formed Islaam. \n\nFurther agree with donald, the Bible warns us about this.\n\nAndy - they aren't the same thing.  Some things are similar and some not.  This is part of the deception.

cleanliness and hygiene, nothing else. \n\nmy interpretation of submission is submitting to the laws of nature.. submission to humanity's collective responsibility of God's vicegerant on our little planet in this inifinitely vast universe.. explore and search to know what is there to know and create. \n\nas for all religious texts, all were relevant in their time, so was Quran. Muhammad was a very wise guy. he was attempting to convince a polytheistic tribal ppl. he explained and framed the laws as were appropriate for his time and societal context.. rituals were to inculcate a sense of discipline, accoutability and belonging. To quote Carlyle, his mission was to establish a welfare state, which he accomplished in his liftime.. and that is the message of Islam: Justice, Freedom, Equality and Opportunity for all. \n\nYou asked me in response to my question about God that what is my contribution to society? well, am a cultural Muslim, Freethinker at heart, used to consider myself a liberal but still accepted the dogmas. Got skeptical on the ontological problems and today am transformed. Freethinker and Deist. In a very sensitive society towards religious dogmas (karachi, pakistan), i challenge all sacred cows.. accept no authority over my intellect and reason and my capacity to lead a useful life.. i provoke and intrigue ppl into doubting every where i go.. for which am discriminated all the time.. sorta gadfly u know :) \n\nTo me, religions are control systems that emerged from the system/process that God started to help us at that particular level of intellectual evolution. there is purpose to creation although we cant figure out what that purpose is at our current level of intellect. All religious texts are inspired but relevant in time.. all religions got corrupted with time and so did Islam.. today's religions are nothing but authoritarian, dominionist creeds and so is the popular islam.. I strongly oppose Shariah and contend that modern secular humanist values are the best manifestation of human intellect. This I debate every where..

Die Bundeszentrale fuer politische Bildung hat wahrscheinlich ein Buch ueber den Islam. Du kannst auf dem Link nachsehen, ob Du eines findest. Zumindest als Student oder auch als Lehrer kann man dort eine begrenzte Anzahl von Buechern pro Jahr kostenlos erhalten.

I think I actually killed more brain cells reading their propaganda. They warp it because they need an excuse to be violent, and it undoubtedly gives them a sense of community and struggling against evil that is difficult to describe in words. Its really just a Christianized version of the Muslim Jihadists who fight for the same reasons: to kill, and to be united against a common set of enemies. Hatred is actually quite fun, and both groups capitalize on it. I don't know how to describe this, but its just like Hitler's use of hate to unite Germany only in a religious format instead of ethnic/political.
