Religion.

Answer by Poki Poki
my religion and i love it.

Answer by SteveUK
A rather oblique question, as Islam is a very old, very diverse religion, which was contaminated by western Christianity, and exists in many forms, as seperate as Roman Catholicism, Anglicanism, and Mormons.
Islam has Sunni, Shia, Kurdisn, Sufi sects in the Middle East alone.
Could you please be a little more specific as to which part of Islam, and regarding which aspects of the religion you wish to know my opinions of?

Answer by Theolojohnian
Islam is an interesting religion as it is an extension of Judaism and Christianity. However I disagree with their views about Jesus and the Bible being corrupted over time. Nevertheless, I wish people would realise that most Muslims just want peace and harmony not death, war and terror.

the perfect religion

Answer by daddy “d”
It’s one of the world’s newer organized religions, with Christianity and Judaism around longer by more than a millenium. It is obviously in a violent, barbaric, and juvenile state right now. Hopefully it is just a phase – Christianity and Judaism has also had a violent past.

Answer by mark leshark
Like the rest a Fairytale where believers believe out of fear about not going on to an afterlife. Why aren’t people trying to live their lives here and now instead of worrying about something we will never know the truth about.

Answer by kingreef777
sam,
Most Americans in the USA did not think much about Islam. Now they are thinking about it in extremely negative terms. And rightfully so. You should see the e-mails that are passing through our mailboxes. Long, long lists of attacks by Muslims on USA soil and USA ships, and USA people.

In a religious sense, they are in a false religion bound for Hell, because they get their message from the devil. They do not know God, neither are covered by the sacrifice of Jesus who is the Christ. Instead they attempt to understand the lunatic ravings of a man , Mohammed, who wasn’t sure is it was an angel or a demon that spoke to him in a cave. Even the writings of the Qu’ran is inauspicious, the believers of it act like it was originally all written down in a book, when it was actually written on rocks, palm branches, and bones, and remembered by certain men who were getting killed in a battle. The collection didn;t happen until AFTER mohammed’s death, and then opnly kept as a heirloom, passed from generation to generation privately. And that the one’s that differed from the others eventually burned.

So the lies of the religion continue to this day. You could ask the Muslims here, today, and they will tell you that their Qu’ran is perfect and never has changed. It’s a lie from the beginning.

Answer by Dee
Everyone keeps saying that Islam means peace when, in essence it means submission to God.

Personally, I believe that Islam is a false and misogynistic religion. Islam says that Jesus Christ — the Lamb of God, the Holy One of Israel, was a prophet like their prophet — a warrior, a man with many wives including a child, many Christians, myself included, find this equation an insult and an attack on God personified.

Although most of us have this view of the religion we also recognize that most Muslims want to live peaceful lives but, the vocal and visible minority are giving them a bad name.

The Great Muslim dilemma

The Christian Bible Says Jesus is God, and one with the Father

Muslims have no choice but to believe in the Christian Bible and the Apostles who wrote it. The Qur’an forbids anyone, on pain of shameful punishment, from making distinctions between the authority of the apostles and prophets of God, or from choosing between God’s words. No one is permitted to believe in part and reject a part. Those who presume to do so, it says, are infidels in reality (Suras 4:150-152; 2:89; 42:13-15; 29:46-47). See Christian Bible references to who Jesus really is: here

Who is he talking about?

This Sura below shows how Muhammad had a complete misunderstanding of the Christian Gospel, and what the Trinity is. Apparently, Muhammad is referring to Christians. But his error here is that both Christians and Jews believe there is only One God. Muhammad also mistakenly thought the Trinity was the Father, Son and Mother (Mary).
– Sura 5:73-75, “They do blaspheme who say: Allah is one of three…”

Again, below Muhammad attests to the Torah’s (Taurat) authority.
So, for Muslims to claim the Bible was corrupted is an argument already lost….

– In Sura 5:48 we are told that Muhammad is given the Qur’an as a confirmation of the bible; that is – it is meant to prove the bible’s authenticity…. “And We have revealed to you the Book with the truth, verifying what is before it of the Book and a guardian over it,”

– In Sura 46:12 we are told…. “Yet before it there was the Book of Moses (Torah/Old Testement) which was an authority, and a mercy. This (the Qur’an) is the Book confirming it in the Arabic tongue…..”

Muhammad deferred to the Torah for Guidance Himself

Asked to produce the Torah and read from it, Âl ‘Imran 3:93.

A group of Jews went to Muhammad and ask him to pronounce judgment on an adulterous couple. Muhammad asked for the Torah to be brought before him, and the couple was subsequently stoned, in accordance with the penalty laid down in the Torah. (see Sahih Bukhari Book 38, no. 4434)

This incident indicates that Muhammad deferred to the Torah for judgment. In the whole incident, there is no indication whatsoever that the Torah is not trustworthy, Also see: fate of those who do not live by Torah, al-Jum`ah 62:5 ; referred to settle dispute on food, Âl ‘Imran 3:93-94 ; retribution in, al-Ma’idah 5:45

Torah/Taurat: This word occurs 18 times in the Qur’an. It refers to the 39 books that make up the Jewish & Christian Old Testament. Jesus Himself said “every iota” (or every bit) of this Torah/Taurat is true.

Read this Gospel of Jesus online in Arabic: John in MS Word; John in PDF; Matthew in PDF; Mark in PDF; Luke in PDF. See and hear the entire Bible in Arabic here. Read in other languages here.

Hear the first 6 Chapters of the Gospel of John in Arabic here (file name: john1_6a.mp3 / 22.1 mb file)

Today may be the time to free yourself from that tyrannical yoke of living in a false religion which came about to glue together a group of robbers, murderers and opportunists.

Your first step towards eternal salvation is no harder than to invite the only begotten Son of God into your heart as your Lord, Savior, and the one who has already paid for your sins Himself.

ISLAM, LIKE SATAN – WANTS ONLY SLAVES….

Most Muslims do not realize that Islam allows no freedom. This alone should make them realize that it is Satan behind Islam, and not an eternal God. Satan wishes only to enslave Muslims to help him enslave the entire world. He does this by turning them away from the truth — that salvation is yours already, if you only have faith in God’s Son, Jesus. Islam is a religion based on intimidation and fear. The word “Islam” does not mean “peace.” It means “submission.” A Muslim is not allowed to leave Islam or else risk his or her life. At birth, a person is branded either Muslim or non-Muslim depending on one’s descent.

Among other things, the religion of Islam is a brain-washing religion, and that is why so many Muslims turn into crazy mindless zombies. The Muslims are required to pray 5 times a day in Arabic to a God who is not there, from the moment they embrace Islam; and when they do so they touch their head to the floor. That is one reason they get so brain-washed, this repetitive prayer. You can often spot fanatical Muslims by the marks on their foreheads resulting from this repetitive touching their head to the floor, where they may whack their head if they really get into it. As an example, take a look at the below image (and all others released) of Osama’s Al Qaida second in command, Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri, who always gives an anti-U.S. rant; Dr. Ayman has this tell-tale bruise on his forehead from too much head-whacking.

If you are a Muslim, and not praying the mandatory 5 times a day (in Arabic), which must be preceded by the ritual washing/ablution (Wudu) , according to Muhammad you are in great danger of going to hell. Muslims may be excused from observing the other pillars of Islam like fasting, almsgiving, pilgrimage to Mecca. But, no Muslim is ever excused from mandatory 5 times a day prayer. In Christianity there is no compulsion or mandatory prayer. The Lord God has given Christians free will. Christians know they are to honor God every day, and not just on a Sunday. Muslims should count their “blessings”. During Muhammad’s fanciful mystical Night Journey to Heaven, Muhammad said that he was originally told by Allah to command his followers to pray fifty times daily, but later Allah revealed this to be too much of a burden. What Muhammad probably meant was he soon found out that even he couldn’t keep up with fifty mandatory prayer sessions a day. So like many Sura’s you’ll see below, miraculously a Sura appeared to help Muhammad out in his personal life.

In Christianity, there is no such compulsion. Yahweh wants heartfelt prayers. Not scripted prayers. Christians know enough to speak with God as their “Abba” (literally – daddy in Aramaic). Muslims typically never even think of one-on-one, two-way prayers to God. Muslim prayers resemble a “broadcast”; and no reply from their Allah is usually ever expected.

Jesus told us: “But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen (pagans) do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.” Matthew 6:7 – 8

How to spot the truly fanatical Muslim
Notice top of Ayman al-Zawahiri’s forehead

Satan, Muhammad and al-Zawahiri all “rail” against the cross!

CAIRO, Egypt, Dec. 11, 2005 In a taped message Ayman al-Zawahiri, urged all Muslims to take up arms and said their refusal to join the fight against “the Cross and Zionism” was a “malignant illness” that would only lead to the defeat of militant Islam.

Another example of this mindless zombie behavior you see in Muslims is the Shiite Muslim “holiday” of Ashoura, commemorating the death of Muhammad’s grandson Husayn. Some Shiite Muslims stab themselves in the head on this “holiday”, making a cut on their heads and beating the wound so it keeps bleeding. And the “bleeders” then walk around in groups yelling. And the cruelest and worst practice of Muslims is their practice of genital cutting (aka: FGC, Female Genital Cutting), genital mutilation, of young girls in Muslim countries. It has been estimated that approximately 2 million infants, young girls, and women are subjected to this painful and needless practice each year worldwide. FGC is typically done without anesthesia or antibiotics.

A symptom of enslavement:

Islamic law encourages Muslims to proselytize (convert others). Islam, however, clearly forbids others to proselytize to Muslims. This is because hearing the truth as revealed in the Christian Bible would weaken this false path to God (Islam).

BUT, WHAT ABOUT THE CRUSADES – YOU MAY BE ASKING:

Every Christian who participated in the Crusades, did so, against the teachings of Jesus.

However, in retrospect, the Crusades probably allowed the western world a thousand years of freedom from the diabolical Islamic religion. The Crusaders stopped the expansion of the Islamic empire. This allowed Christianity to prosper in Europe which preserved the gospel for the rest of the world to receive.
The Crusades were a reaction to the Muslim crusades against the entire world.

In the 7th century, the Muslims took control of Jerusalem, and in the 11th century they began to hassle, kill, molest Christian pilgrims in the Jerusalem area. The Muslim Turks even attacked Rome and Belgrade in 1456 A.D. The Crusades were also in response to the cries of help from the eastern Byzantine Empire, which was very worried about the military threat to it from the Seljuk Turks. So if the Christians did not respond, the Muslims would have conquered all of Europe and wiped out Christianity from the planet. Did this have any significance to Osama bin Laden’s sick mind? The Muslim high point in Europe ended when they were turned back from Vienna on September 11, 1683 A.D.

In AD 1009, Kalif Hakem of Egypt ordered the destruction of the Holy Sepulcher and all Christian places of worship in Jerusalem. Christians were persecuted cruelly and pilgrims were attacked.

Here is a speech from Pope Urban II to Christians from this Crusader era:

For your brethren who live in the east are in urgent need of your help, and you must hasten to give them the aid which has often been promised to them. For, as most of you have heard, the Turks and Arabs have attacked them and have conquered the territory of Romania (the Greek empire) as far west as the shore of the Mediterranean and the Hellespont, which is called the Arm of St. George. They have occupied more and more of the lands of those Christians, and have overcome them in seven battles. They have killed and captured many, and have destroyed the churches and devastated the empire. If you permit them to continue thus for a while with impunity, the faithful of God will be much more widely attacked by them. On this account I, or rather the Lord, beseech you as Christ’s heralds to publish this everywhere and to persuade all people whatever rank, foot-soldiers and knights, poor and rich, to carry aid promptly to those Christians and to destroy that vile race from the lands of our friends.

SPAIN UNDER THE MOORS
Neither was Spain under the Muslim Moors the jewel of Islamic tolerance that it is often purported to be. In 920 A.D. all the inhabitants of Muez were put to the sword. Cordova, Zarajoza and Merida were burned to the ground, with all adult males executed and all women and children enslaved. In AD 1066 all the Jews of Grenada were slaughtered. In AD 1126, all the Christians of Grenada were deported to Morocco.

CARNAGE IN CONSTANTINOPLE
Under Mehmet II the Turks conquered the great Byzantine capital, Constantinople. On 29 May, 1453 A.D., waves of Turkish soldiers swept into Constantinople, the greatest city in the world at that time, and put it to the sword. Priceless libraries and irreplaceable works of art were burned, the population slaughtered, even in the Hagia Sophia, the greatest Christian church in the world at that time.

For centuries the Turks demanded an annual “blood levy” of Christian boys. Parents were forced to hand over one out of every five Christian boys for service in the Sultan’s army as janissaries.

In 1860 over 12,000 Christians were slaughtered in Lebanon. In 1876 14,700 Bulgarians were murdered by the Turks. 200,000 Armenian Christians were slaughtered by the Turks in Bayazid in 1877. And in 1915 the Turks massacred over 1.5 million Armenian Christians. As recently as September 1922 the Turkish army destroyed the ancient city of Smyrna with its 300,000 Christian population.

Answer by Ibrahim
Firstly, some person said christianity is more than a millenium old. No, the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) started receiving revelations from God in the 600s AD (so its about 600 years after Christ).

Also, someone else said there are many many sects just like Christianity. Its not entirely true. There are very small sects. The LARGE majority, unlike Christianity, is Sunni. Shi’ite have some minor differences (but we both follow the same Qur’an). The other groups are VERY small. I think Catholic vs. Protestant split is pretty big.

My thoughts on Islam.. I love it. I follow the message of all the previous prophets on the path of God. It is the only religion that lays out a complete way of life for a person to live. It is truly rewarding being a Muslim, inshallah!

Answer by Meee
its a load of crap

Answer by Farhan
Islam means peace

There is approx 1.6 billion Muslims in the world and if all Muslims are terrorists then why isn’t 1.6 billion Muslims bombing the world right now? Islam is the fastest growing religion it has been predicted in 50 years Islam will be the worlds largest religion. So if Islam teaches violence and evil then why would 1.6 billion Muslim and those who have reverted to Islam want that?

Surely everyone who thinks Islam is bad has been affected by the mass media watch this clip (46 mins) contradicts this and you will realise what Islam really is this clip is about:

Muslim only for 30 days
Guy becomes Muslim for only 30 days to experience the in-depth of Islam.
.

Islam is not only a religion but a complete way of life; we can gain answers either from the Quran or the Hadith (ways of the Prophet Muhammad pbuh). As a practicing Muslim I do believe Islam and its teachings answer all my questions. Muslim nowadays are weak they don’t know much about their religion my suggestion is to any one is that read the Holy book of that religion before criticising it. 70% of the Quran has been proven by science. Also we believe in Judgment Day and the Quran describes in detail what the day will be like and also the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) also states minor and major signs (one minor sign we see today is that Time will go faster) you can view the major and minor signs on: .

Islam has 5 fundamental Pillars which are
SHAHADAH-Declaration of faith
SALAH-Prayer which is the 5 daily prayers (helps us both mentally and physically)
SIYAM-Fasting during month of Ramadhan (Allows us to emphasis people in the poor world, also increases self control and makes us better people in society from decreasing sins to its minimum)
ZAKAT-paying 2.5% of your earnings to charity every year
HAJJ-Pilgrimage to Mekkah (Mecca)

The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was born in 670 C.E he came to change the world as it was corrupt at the time. At the time of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) it was known as Jahiliyya (Days of ignorance). Muhammad (pbuh) was the last of Prophets sent to complete the biggest task. He was the Prophet who brought the Quran into our lives; The Quran is the final words from Allah. There has been according to one Hadith 240 000 Prophets, and Muhammad (pbuh) was the last.

The 9/11 proven by many documentaries also proves that there is no ‘Islamic terrorists’.

As a western muslim woman; I think as long as we stick to the religion itself with nothing added(culture etc…) Islam is liberating. eg..I am married yet I keep my maiden name.
I work but I am not obliged to pay the bills.
As a mother, heaven is under my feet
I love it !!!!!!!!!!

Answer by shadow_prophet2k6
Islam is not a religion by itself, but a continuity of areligion from where christ left off. The prophet Jesus Christ began with christianity, and which in turn was supposed to be followed and continued by Islam. 2 Chapters of the same book. If you follow it close enough, and UNDERSTAND it, then ou may just well have attained inner peace. Its not about violence. Its about peace.
Sad to say, very few people see it this way, and they assume that its 2 conflicting religion which in turn gives rise to hatred and death….
