there are some basic info on this site
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam#Beliefs
that will help and a pretty good and easy to read book by John Esposito "What everyone needs to know about Islam". I read this and its a good book. Its like a Q&A type book that answer all the basics but there is so much more you can read about.
Its good to have knowledge and ask if you don't know :D Good luck and I hope you find it interesting coz I did!
Oh and you need to also learn to ignore the media and stupid replies that you might get here. Trust me they won't help.

You need to be more specific than that, but I'll throw some things out there... :)
There is no other God than God (Allah in Arabic) and Muhammed is his messenger (the last in a line of prophets/messengers - Jesus, Moses, Abraham, Noah, Joseph, etc....all revered in Islam)
The 10 commandments
There is no compulsion in religion (freedom of religion...though it's been made clear that not all "Muslims" follow this)
Below is a tiny chapter from the Qur'an (expressing the need to treat the less fortunate and everyone well...that belief in God alone is not a ticket to Heaven...one must be a good person and is responsible for his/her actions):
Have you seen him who denies the Day of Judgment?
It is he who pushes the orphans away,
And does not induce others to feed the needy.
Woe to those who pray
But who are oblivious of their moral duties,
Who dissimulate
And withhold things of common use from others

Muslims believe in Allah, the one and only almighty God, Lord and Creator. Him we trust and Him alone we fear.
Muslims believe in the angels created by Allah. We know them even though they are not visible to us. They are the obedient servants of Allah and they carry out all His orders.
Muslims believe that the words which Allah revealed to the prophets were written down in books. The last book, which was given to Muhammad (pbuh) is the Qur’an. The Quran is the only book from Allah which is complete and preserved in its original form.
Muslims believe that Allah has sent His prophets to all mankind with the message to worship only Allah and to do good.
Muslims believe in the Day of Resurrection when Allah will wake us from our deaths. We will be rewarded for the good that we have done and those of us who did not believe in Allah and did evil, will be punished.
Muslims believe that Allah has taught us to understand what good and evil is, so that we can ourselves decide for the good and against the evil. All good and evil is decreed by Allah.
Muslims believe in Life after Death. The life after death is eternal and one will be rewarded with either Heaven or Hell depending on how the life of this earth was spent.

Muslims believe there's no God but Allah, and Mohammad is His prophet.
Muslims believe, Jesus, Moses and Abraham are prophets, and their religion was true, but their religion is changed by people(like, trinity belief). Muslims believe Islam is the latest religion, and won't be changed till apocalypse.
Muslims believe in Heaven, Hell, Angels...
