Argument from peaceful Muslims?

Question

If you practice Islam as a religion, what would you tell people is your belief in regard to what is going on the world today? What do you say to the sectarian violence in Iraq? And the majority of the Middle East?

After the first few answers I gathered that from my question that I am Christian. Why is that? ( I am more than happy to share my faith after this question which stirs so many emotions)

Answer 1

I'd say that politics and local government corruption played a big role in the injustices that are happening not religion. If you listen to OBL he's arguing about land and the killing of Muslims in occupied lands. He uses faith to gain followers, because it works. Sadly some verses have been interpreted and token out of context with ignoring other verses that forbid the killing of innocent and corruption on earth. We where once on top of the world and or religion pushed us to explore many fields.

Uhh..pray for the ME, my home, it needs all the prayers it can get .

Answer 2

Islam is a peace loving religion.
No religions teaches hate and terrorism as you know. We condemn terrorism. That just a few who is doing bad things in name of Islam. Just like some Christians bomb everywhere, Timothy McVeigh, KKK, Bush and Milosevic, who killed millions of Muslims in Bosnia.

And Hitler claim to be a Christian?

I am not trying to justify what terrorists are doing, but I wonder, are you guys really too stupid to understand the fact that all those terrorists became what they are after you JERKS invade their countries?

Eminem once said: NO MORE BLOOD FOR OIL, WE HAVE OUR OWN PROBLEMS TO SOLVE ON OUR OWN SOIL..

well, he was right for once.. LIVE AND LET LIVE YOU IDIOTS AND STOP BECOMING OIL VAMPIRES and maybe you'll see the difference and Allah knows best.

There are still a few muslims who would claim that it is only a small minority of fanatics who are doing Takfir!

There is now supposed to be a movement-mostly in West Canada and the three Western USA States to put a piece of Bacon Wrapper in ones coin pocket to contaminate all coins and bills so they are HARAM...The idea is growing fast and has quite probably spread across all USA by now.... I am watching CNN for the story! I rally have no idea if it ios true or not.

Answer 4

i agree with the other persons comment..islam is truly meant to be peaceful and wonderful..there are islamic extremists who give it a really bad image and this is how people form bad opinions of muslims...all the muslims i know are so quiet and family oriented its like everyone shud be their friend! but ppl are scared cuz they think they are people who sit in their houses and plot murders and bombings.....im sad for it cuz islam cud do alot for the world..think fo it a religion that is so powerful that women chose to cover themselves so they can be decent and not seen as sexual objects cant be a terruble thing! it has great values...but people have bad images and notions about islam and i just wish they cud open their minds!

Answer 5

Take a look at Christianity and all the wars and killing in it's name.You are judging a religion on a few hot heads.

Answer 6

It's like the ones who call themselves Protestant and Catholic In Ireland. Neither of them is either! It's a good banner.

MORE THINGS HAVE BEEN DONE IN THE NAME OF GOD!

If I could meet Osama & his crew, I'd like him to quit speaking for the rest of us, and form his OWN religion.

Oh wait... you already have, but you're calling it Islam...

And as for the word Jihad? The greatest Jihad will occur in your HEART!

I think if I said what I really wanted to that I would be banned from Yahoo answers, therefore I shall refrain and say nothing.

What are the teachings of Islaam?

The foundation of the Islaamic faith is belief in the Unity of God.

This means to believe that there is only one Creator and Sustainer of everything in the Universe, and that nothing is divine or worthy of being worshipped except for Him.

Truly believing in the Unity of God means much more than simply believing that there is "One God" - as opposed to two, three or four.

There are a number of religions that claim belief in "One God" and believe that ultimately there is only one Creator and Sustainer of the Universe. Islaam, however, not only insists on this, but also rejects using such words as "Lord" and "Saviour" for anyone besides Almighty God. Islaam also rejects the use of all intermediaries between God and Man, and insists that people approach God directly and reserve all worship for Him alone. Muslims believe that Almighty God is Compassionate, Loving and Merciful.

The essence of falsehood is the claim that God cannot deal with and forgive His creatures directly. By over-emphasising the burden of sin, as well as claiming that God cannot forgive you directly, false religions seek to get people to despair of the Mercy of God. Once they are convinced that they cannot approach God directly, people can be mislead into turning to false gods for help. These "false gods" can take various forms, such as saints, angels, or someone who is believed to be the "Son of God" or "God Incarnate". In almost all cases, people who worship, pray to or seek help from a false god don't consider it to be, or call it, a "god". They claim belief in One Supreme God, but claim that they pray to and worship others beside God only to get closer to Him. In Islaam, there is a clear distinction between the Creator and the created. There is no ambiguity in divinity - anything that is created is not deserving of worship and only the Creator is worthy of being worshipped. Some religions falsely believe that God has become part of His creation, and this has led people to believe that they can worship something created in order to reach their Creator.

Muslims believe that even though God is Unique and beyond comprehension - He has no "Son", partners or associates. According to Muslim belief, Almighty God "does not beget nor was He begotten" - neither literally, allegorically, metaphorically, physically or metaphysically - He is Absolutely Unique and Eternal. He is in control of everything and is perfectly capable of bestowing His infinite Mercy and Forgiveness to whomever He chooses. That is why is called the All-Powerful and Most-Merciful. Almighty God has created the Universe for man, and as such wants the best for all human beings. Muslims see everything in the Universe as a sign of the Creatorship and Benevolence of Almighty God. Also, the belief in the Unity of God is not merely a metaphysical concept. It is a dynamic belief that effects ones view of humanity, society and all aspects of life. As a logical corollary to the Islaamic belief in the Oneness of God, is its belief in the oneness of mankind and humanity.
