If Islam didn't change why there are many factions? Why Shiites and Sunnis are at each other's throat? Are they both Muslims? Osama Bin Laden is ordering Sunnis to kill all Shiites and destroy their mosques while he himself is neither a Sunni nor Shiite. He is Ahal-e-Hadith.
Why Ahamadis are not called Muslims even they believe in Prophet Mohammed and say the prayers 5 times a day and read same Quran? Who are Ismaelis?
Doesn't that mean that Islam is what, what your faction is?

Shia and Sunnis have been fighting for almost the same age of Islam. Their fighting started 20 years after the death of prophet Muhammed.

Ishamielites are arabs just arabs they have it has no relgious affilitiance. Muslims are not supposed to be differnt. The Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him) hated factions in relgion and wanted all muslims to come together. The media is smart and pins relgions against each other the media are deamons and are very smart. thus saying this Sunnis and shittes are both muslims and both should come toghter. muslims are not ahmeidas because The prohet was a regular man but a chosen servant of god, just as Issa ( jesus). Muslims do not hold him higher then any man we only bow down to Allah!

when we say Islam is the same ever since. that means the Quran is the same as it was and the Sunna Hadeeth (prophet's sayings) is the same as it was. we still all worship Allah. people that change, not Islam. what was forbidden back then remains forbidden til today. and the allowed matters are still allowed.
talking about Shiites (i'm nt sure bout the spelling tho') and sunnis. this matter was actually predicted and the prophet talked about it. it all started after Muhammad (peace be upon him) death. it is the way Islam has always been meant to be. and please, there are over 5 million muslims in the world, you ran out of them and had Osama as your ideal muslim to know what islam is!!!
ps: the word muslim is refered to anyone who believes in Islam as religion, that is s/he believe tht there's no God but Allah and Muhammad (peace be upon him) is his prophet.
i dnt like turning this on anyone, but because it just bothers me that ppl see this as a matter of Islam changed while in fact, christian ppl have been divided by the major aspect that define their religion since forever! not all believe in the trinity. and those who believe also are divided according to those who believe all three are one and those who think the three are diff gods! beside, you all follow what you call diff versions of your holy book! and you take that as a good thing that many ppl wrote the same thing! just why dnt u have one source? one bible to tell? put all things together and have a holy BOOK not books! unless they dnt tell same thing of course.
**big sorry if i offended christian ppl, i really didnt mean to. but i'm just posing my wonders here.

Islam is the same since God choosed it, in Adam's era, and every nation tried to pull it the way they wished, hence we got Jew, Christians, Sunnis, Shi ites, etc etc etc.......
The Ahmadis is not considered Muslim because they does not accept the word of God (Al Qur'aan)completely, and Muhammad as the last messenger. In the time of Abraham, whoever accepts God but not Abraham, was not considered a Muslim. In the time of Moses whoever accepted God but not Moses was not considered a Muslim. In the time of Jesus whoever accepted God but not Jesus was not considered a Muslim.

That is to say that life does not change over time. To be present in time is to change with time. Nothing is ever the same. We are all flux. All matter is flux. All is changing.

Islam is NOT the same now as it was when it first began. (Christianity isn't either, btw.)
