What do you think about the Muslim faith?
536927
Islam (the muslim faith) is a hot topic for discussion right now. \n\nAs a western Christian I find some of the traditions and beliefs of muslims to be incompatable with my own, yet that has not stopped me from getting to know some wonderful muslims that have taught me much about unconditional friendship. \n\nI've also discovered that the Islam that is practiced by certain feared groups appears to be a little different from that practiced by the muslims that I have known. But then Christianity seems to be interpreted and practiced in many different forms too - otherwise there wouldn't be so many different types of Christian churches. Go figure. Religion is certainly interesting. :)

"Forgive them Father for they know not what they do." is a really great thesis ......... but can someobody tell me how the hell am i going to learn if i don't ask? Only fools don't ask.\n\nI believe in God, but still there are so many issues i don't understand, not just about my religion - others too (i respect each and everyone's religious choices and i want to learn about them ..... if for nothing else, then at least for the sake of debate).\n\nOne more thing, in islam we are always ordered to inquire and search for answers, we are encouraged to seek knowledge and no one will stop me but God Himself.\n\nNow, you have a nice day - great question indeed :)

The muslim religion is a man made religion based on machismo rather than spirituality.  The people who made up islam had no concept of a God that is no subject to the laws of physics, so the scholars of that religion are forced to find ways to discredit that which they are incapable of understanding.\n\nThis I believe; http://homelessheart.com/testimony.htm

In Islam, we ought to believe in God messangers, and God Holybooks so we are really in very unique situation which is that we believe that Muoses, Jesus and Muhammed are God messangers and we believe that Torah, Bible and Quran are God books and furthermore we believe that no prophet is better that another one.\n\nIn Islam rejection of any of the above would mean that you are not a good muslim and that you are not following God instructions.

I have said this now for years, and I say it because I believe it to be true. (Note here: This is in no way meant to put down any one or any faith. Its just an opinion, based on a variety of reasons that I won't go into here. Going into my reasons here now would take to much time and detail.) From a monotheistic standpoint, given the Abrahamic tradition, Islam is the only truly viable religion in the world today. And that is my main thought concerning Islam. ~ Peace & Blessings ~

I think the entire muslim faith must be distinguished from Islamic Fundamentalism, which is as it's name implies is much more fundamentalist in nature. \n\nUnfortunately, I think there are a large number of Islamic fundamentalists who condone the actions of terrorists.\n\nMercifully Islamic Fundamentalism is the credo of only a small percentage of those of the Muslim faith.

My religion is Islam.I believe that Islam is the right choice for me because :\n1)Islam with the holy book Al Qur'an and Hadith as an inheritance from Muhammad peace be upon him (pbuh) is the last and complete life guidance from Allah the only one God and no other god than Allah\n2)the other religion with its holy book are outdated and have many\ncontradictions and uncomplete such as Zabur,Taurat and Injil or\nBible because it have been changed by dirty hands\n3)Islam gives us a right path as our straight way which will give us all kindness and happiness in this world and kindness and happiness in eternal life after death\n4)Islam is a peaceful religion which spread out by love  and no force because islamic teaching is logic and gives us a free will\n5)Islam increased the level of recognation and honour of women\nas stated that heaven is on the foot palm of a woman and kids should first serve their mother than their father. \n6)Islam regulates social,economy,politic,management, ,law and culture that are better than the other religions which  more regula \nte for praying as a communication to God\n7)Islam is logically believe in one God who has no son,no mother and no father Allah is really only one God who has omni power.\n8)Islam is the only one religion that is accepted and blessed by Allah for our savety in our life here in this world and then in our eternal life after death if we obeyed all of Allah's instructions and prohibitions\n9)Islam gives the principles of a good living and discipline and clean life for our health and  gives the best way for our earning income and for disbursing our income\n10)Islam gives the basis for a prosperous and peaceful society in line with islamic teaching because we should work hard,pay islamic taxes and donation/alm,help the poor and orphan and make a togetherness with our family,neighbours,friends and rela tives,groups,among races and among countries.We are brothers and sisters as descendat of Adam and Eve/Hawa..

Muslims pride themselves on the fact that their religion has not changed in its 1400 year history.  In other words, they think it's great to live in the Middle Ages.\n\nIslam needs a reform movements, similar to t hose that have occurred in Judaism and in Christianity.  It has made the mainstream of both of these religions much more tolerant and humane.  \n\nIt really is a pity.  At one time, Islamic countries were more tolerant than Christian ones.  But you have to go back seven hundred years ago to find that.  So it wasn't in the lifetime of anyone living today, that's for sure.\n\nI have nothing against individual Muslims, but they belong to a religion that has some very hateful teachings.  And I do get fed up with the hypocrasy, and the distortions, and the lie that Islam is a religion of peace.  Sorry, but there's way too much evidence to the contrary.

Islam is a religion- made up of all types of people and cultures- the true Islamic or Muslim people would be a Peaceful group, not inflicting Anything on Anyone if they followed their original teachings- and their Koran.\n\nUnfortunately, there are many confused, evil, tyranical, fantatics that Happen to be of that Islamic faith, and that  is all we get to hear and see in our Media, and that is what has us all up at ARMS over it all, because, that is all we know- thanks to one sided media attention.\n\nIn the USA, we came here originally to avoid persecution of our religious beliefs, and taxation without representation.  We did not tell Anyone to follow Christ or to become Christian- but, we were Founded by people that do believe in GOD- and that is a fact.\n\nfor all those confused about what the Koran truly says, check this source:)  btw, I am Christian.\n\nhttp://www.islamia.com/the_drama_of_revelation.htm

I know quite alot seeming I study Islam and Christian perspectives on moral issues.  Islam's holy book is the Qu'ran, Muhammad the seal of the prophets received the book over 23 years.Muhammad is not the founder of Islam, Muslims believe that God has been sending Revelations since the time of Adam and Eve. Muslims believe that everyone is born to Islam so people do not convert they revert. To be a Muslim means to Submit and surrender to the will of God.Muslims believe that the Qu'ran is the unaltered absolute word of God, they also follow the Hadith of Muhammad,they believe that the Qu'ran tells them what to do and the Hadith how to do it.The Hadith are sometimes called the sunnah depending on whether it is a Sunni or Sh'iah Muslim. There are five pillars of Islam shadhah, Hajj, Saum, zakah,salah . Things that are allowed are called Halal such as meat thats been killed according to Allah. I could really go on and on about Islam.

I admire and respect Islam and the Muslims in my life.  I find Islam to be practical and logical.

With all due respect to you,\n\nI reveal two facts that you can choose to believe from your own wisdom;\n\n1. Muhammed "Sinned", he was a "Child Molester"!\n\nhttp://www.geocities.com/AntiJihad/mo_pedo.html\n\n2. Jesus "Never Sinned", He has power over Life and Death!\n\nHis bones are absent from the grave!\n\n\nWho is the One that we should listen to?\n.........................................................\n\nAlso, it is Not ignorance to not want to embrace Islam when you consider the actions of Muslims and their rejoicing in them.\n\nhttp://www.faithfreedom.org/Gallery/14.htm\n\n.........................................................................\nAddition,\n\nDefinition; objectivity\n\nn : judgment based on observable phenomena and uninfluenced by emotions or personal prejudices [syn: objectiveness]\n\nMy conclusions are based on the observable phenomena of "Muslims" "Blowing Up Innocent People"!!\n\nAnd Muslims Murdering people that don't believe in their Religion\n\nhttp://www.prophetofdoom.net/article.aspx?g=406&i=46007\n\nAnd if I was influenced by my emotions, I would be using way, way, harsher, and abusive words than I am using now.\n\nAlso, it was after 9-11 that I started reading the Quran for myself wanting to know about Islam.\n\nAfter reading Muslim sites and History about Muhammed, I found out what a Horrendous and Evil man Muhammed was!\n\nhttp://www.faithfreedom.org/Articles/sina/looting.htm

This is not an exhaustive list..... \n\n1 : Our belief is simple , One God . Mohammed (SAW) is His last Prophet.\n\n2 : Islam is a religion of peace , there is no doubt about that. The fault is in the follower not the the religion itself just like any other religion.\n\n3 : We mean no harm , we come in peace :)\n\n4 : Our woman arent as down trodden as think they are.\n\n5 : We dont live in mountains , arent poor and dont live in really backward areas like most of you imagine.\n\n6 : Live and Let Live.\n\n7 : Islam opposes transgressors openly and without doubt.\n\n8 : we do get satellite and watch ( and sometimes laugh ) CNN and Fox\n\n9 : If we hold some values sacred , you should atleast respect that and not make fun of it.\n\n10 : Social liberties do not include making mockery out of any other religion. West calls it civilized , so should act like it.\n\n11 :We all wonder and think the west has become more barbaric and is killing ALOT of innocent ppl in the name of war on terror.\n\n12 : You can not go around taking over countries just because you felt like it.\n\n13 : Dont believe everything you read or watch in the media. Try to do some research of your own.\n\n!4 : We donot treat our women like commodities and respect and protect them. There are some extreme cases but where doesnt that happen ? Cannt judge the whole society based on a few test cases.\n\n15 : Suicide bombing is an act of cowardice , muslims history shows clearly that muslims have fought wars with bravery and openly. Which is totally the opposite of these suicide attacks.
