Islam

Islam is a monotheistic religion dictated by the Quran a text considered to contain the one true word of the Gecko as written by the prophet Muhammad Ali Baba a.k.a Achmed the Dead Terrorist. Similar to Christianity and several other religious cults, Islam forces followers to believe that “Allah” is the one true God of the universe and forbids all followers from believing in or worshiping any other God. Of course, this deity is extremely egotistic, filled with jealousy, somewhat psychotic, and prone to temper tantrums like a two-year-old child. For example, the Christian God Yahweh a.k.a. Yahooweh displayed his ability to lash out in a truly vindictive nature several times through out history and is known for killing off as many as 3 million of his devout followers just because of their so-called sins against God. True believers of the Muslim faith practice the Five Pillars of Islam. Shahada is the credo of Islam recited under oath while being held at sword point where followers proc... Read more

Their honor killings of women is disgraceful. The Militants in this Religion treat women like second class citizens. Covering women up from head to toe does not keep males from lusting, molesting them, then honor killing them if the woman gets pregnant from a sexual assault. How come the men go free? The man's opinion counts for everything and the woman doesn't in this twisted thinking. Can women even own property or get the children after a divorce? Yet feminist are silent around the world. Hello --where is the outrage?-- I only hear the crockets.

Muslims believe: *That there is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his prophet. *To believe in the Trinity is blasphemous *Allah is the eternal, omnipotent, omnipresent ruler of all of history and the future. *Muhammad is the last and greatest of all the prophets *Saved souls go to heaven *Unsaved souls go to hell *Suffering erases ones sins and is allowed as a test of humility and faith *Mary was a virgin *Jesus was a great prophet and died for humanity. He did not rise on the third day. (alternate beliefs state that he ascended into heaven and a scapegoat died on the cross) *Most Muslims do not live in the Mid-east *Jihad does not mean "holy war." sorry, but that one bugs me (http://www.rateitall.com/i-2417102-jihad.aspx) *Prayer (five times a day) is an important part of the faith where one bows before God, expresses faith, give thanks for blessings, and seek guidance and forgiveness.

This is a message to all of you who are ignorant about the true teachings of Islam. If you were people instead of "sheeple" then you may be motivated to see why there is so much Islam-bashing in all spheres of the media. There is an agenda to control all the oil supplies in the world and unfortunately for the Muslims, most of it lies in their lands. Therefore, instead of being brainwashed by the media, read and learn before spouting opinions from your uninformed minds. H.G. Wells "The Islamic teachings have left great traditions for equitable and gentle dealings and behavior, and inspire people with nobility and tolerance. These are human teachings of the highest order and at the same time practicable. These teachings brought into existence a society in which hard-heartedness and collective oppression and injustice were the least as compared with all other societies preceding it....Islam is replete with gentleness, courtesy, and fraternity." Sir George Bernard Shaw in 'The Genu... Read more

Among "People of The Book", only Islam has no provision for forgiveness, (This should make Islam attractive to our more right-wing "Christians") but Islam isn't yet a domestic problem in the USA due to the small numbers of adherents here.Islamism, however, scares the Hell out of me:http://www.scaruffi.com/politics/arab05.html#arab03 0b5http://www.religioustolerance.org/islam.htm ;

Islam scares me as much as any other religion does, which isn't much. There is a lot of hyperbole out there about the supposed threat that Islam poses to the Western world. Some cite statistics and demographic trends showing that people from the Islamic world are moving into Western Europe, thus creating a cultural time-bomb in these areas. They point to riots in predominately Islamic districts in France, the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany and Austria as proof that the West and Islam cannot coexist. Dr. Samuel Huntington, a prominent neo-conservative author, terms this conflict a "Clash of Civilizations". Writing in 1998, Huntington believed that the West and the Middle East was going to experience several years of conflict due to Islam's "anti-modernist" tendencies. The argument is so sweeping and broad that it misses key distinctions. I believe that such arguments take the fringe of this religious traditions and extrapolates it on the rest of the population. Huntington take... Read more

Muslim is a pretty degraded religion that deserves a better reputation. The extremists are the problem, not the peaceful followers. Still, I'm an Atheist and therefore against any theistic religions.

I am more afraid of the extreme fundamentilists, more than anything else.

It's not the religion itself,it's the FUNDAMENTALISTS.(Just like Christianity & Judaism)

While I do feel that the culture that sprang from this faith deserves credit for preserving various bits of extremely important knowledge, the crack pots that popped up along the way as the religion moved through time leave a lot to be desired. No, I do not feel that this applies to everyone in this faith. And yes, I think all religions produce crack pots (shout out to Jim Jones and David Koresh). However, when I consider certain things about Islam, I find myself at odds with the popular notion that they are quite the “religion of peace” their PR would claim. As I said, many Muslims most likely are living peaceful lives. But this loses a certain amount of significance and hardly changes what happened eight years ago, the events that followed or pretty much the SOS that has been raging in one way or another for centuries. After all, this is a religion that actually obliges its members through their written word to (at the very least) hate and/or (at worst) kill anyone who isn’t bu... Read more

This scares the hell out of me. Anyone who is literate can read about the atrocities, ignorance and intolerance since the founder's time.

They have absolutely no problem blowing their own people up, and you’re saying I shouldn’t be fearful?

Lets define our terms here, it's certainly helpful to Islamic society. Who's the arbitrator, Pat Robertson?

Saying Islam is a religion of Peace would be Misleading, so would saying it is a religion of War. In fact, Islam is a religion that believes that there is no God but God, and that Mohammed was his prophet. It believes that Moses, Abraham, Isaiah, Paul, John, Peter and Jesus were all prophets of God. It is as diverse and complex as all the major religions. To judge it on RIA is just silly, but then i find myself doing just that.

Other than being a belicose religion in the extreme, many of the teachings have value; just not eternal value.

To those that practice Islam(The extremist ones), I would like to know what their agenda is, what they are trying to achieve and how they go about doing it.

I'm sure there's a lot of nice people that practice Islam. I just don't believe in this religion. I am a Christian who believes in Jesus Christ and the Holy Bible.

This is something I won't comment on much because Islam has good points to it’s faith, but unfortunately millions believe the wrong prophet. But then again I'm an infidel.

Another of the massive monotheistic religions, that has had immense impact not only on the western world but immense influence in the east as well. Some folks won't like to hear it, but the modern world owes much of its knowledge of classical history and philosophy, and indeed, some of the teachings of the early Christian theologians to Islam. This is because when the Long Night of barbarism descended on Western Europe after the final fall of the Roman Empire, the lights of learning were kept burning in two places. One was in the dank, cold and inhospitable monasteries of Ireland, and the other was in the massive libraries of Islam.

AllahU Akbar ,Islam shall be the the most highest population all over the world ,ameen.

Islam is always great.

Best way to have Peace

islam is love for others what you love for yourself peace

Islam is the true religion of Almighty God!

If people would truly look into islam, then they would know that what the media says is only lies and not the real islam. thanks!

Allah and Islam isn't the problem. Blind faith in a deity that you think wants you to kill people is the problem. Lumping ALL Muslims together with a few radical terrorists is like lumping ALL Christians together with the likes of Fred Phelps or abortion clinic bombers. Let's stop the generalizations. Most Muslims are good people that are non-violent - just like most Christians are good people that are non-violent.

Islam continuation of Judaism and Christianity. The scriptures prior to Islam were never written until real late after the prophet; try 1500A.D. for Christianity. The corrections to a lot of deviations of the truth are revealed in Quran. Yes, Islam is derived from the Arabic word for "Peace." At the same time a person practicing Islam (Muslim) has the right to stand up to oppression, and aggression (yes, I will defend my home; it is my right). A lot of the internet and media is plagued by untruthfulness. Every human has the right to seek the truth, learn from: ex. Dr. Zakir Naik, comparative religion scholar and the likes. After all Baseball coach, probably may not give you what u need to know in like Basketball or Golf. Learn from a specialist in that field. I can promise if you only knew Islam you would not pause a second, unfortunately many muslims are negligent and will be held accountable for their deeds. The Quran has been proven completely accurate!

Best religion answer all my questions

Islam is an answer to all puzzling questions of humanity, Islam bind hearts of people with love of their creator, and teaches all that is noble and pure.

Don't let the Machine gun in my hand fool you, I am a man of peace.

the main rule of this faith is.to believe in god and all his messengers and books  including jesus and the bibleand those terrorists are a false figure of islam...islam denies all their acts but unfortunately the media use their stupid act as a reference to islam

Making any generalizations is ignorant. Their discrimination against women, homosexuals, and "infidels" in general is unacceptable, though. Cheers

HATE THE FUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!

its a gr8 religion thats being missinterpreted... people are judging it cuz of terrorrists who arent even considered muslims because of their acts that go against the basis of the religion.. its complicated...

Nothing against the people, but their god is not my God.  There is only one way, and that's Jesus Christ.

ALL WHO DISAGREE WILL DIE BY THE SWORD OF ALLAH!

A nasty personality cult, if ever there was one. I have seen the islamic influence spread in Britain and it is a very sour sight. It should be pushed back to the sand where it, and it's women hating views, belong.  P,S I had to vote 1 star, but in my mind I would give it -100

Is anyone going to ask about Christians or are you simply trying to ignore us all.??????

Allah Akbar!!!!!!!!!!

Terrorism.

An Anti Christ Religion.

Now a days I hate it.  Not enough traditional muslims speak out against RADICAL muslims.  I don't like them for that!

Hmmmm...This us the religion I left two years ago. It was OK, but I found it a bit strict, and I was a rubbish Muslim anyhow :P

wrong yet again!

A hateful religion by every means

ties with terrorists

in the scrolls it mentions everything from genocide to the prophet marrying a nine year old girl! a nine year old,and they are cool with this!

It is the right religion to believe in. Allah almighty has sent us a prophet and a holy book (The Quran) that taught us every single good thing and warned us from the bad things. HE has told us about the old nations and prophets and we believe in all of the previous prophets.
