I had discussions with my friends in the past with something relating to what Bricklayer has said, i would like to touch abit on that and i hope you will have an open mind. If one is to read the history of Islam, there are two kinds of prophets. There's your normal prophets that are called "Nabi" and the chosen prophets who are called "Rasul".
There are in all 25 chosen prophets and to name a few, the most famous ones are Adam, Joseph, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad, the last prophet. In Islam it is also believed that there are 4 holy books sent down from god to four of the chosen prophets. Three of which you may know is the Hebrew Scriptures, the Bible and the Quran.
Islam believes that Muhammad is the last prophet, which is why Islam follows the teachings in the Quran and which is why if you compare the difference between the Jews, Christians and Islam, there's not much difference in parts of the history and teachings except for the prophet and the holy book each religion follow.
You might be surprised to know that whatever is said about Jesus being brought back to earth one day as one of the most powerful leaders on earth and also the various signs of judgement day, it is all in Islamic teachings as well.
If you have an open mind, you can see that the religions that i have mentioned, in a way they are linked, only the belief in the prophet and holy book differs. And i believe that bottomline is we are all praying to the same god.

I've studied some Islam in college as I did with all the other major religions, but I've retained almost nothing of ithat reliegious persuasion.
Lately, *radical* Islam is more on the forefront: beheadings and murder, to include believing the terrorist suicide bombers will go to Paradise if they do what they were instructed to do.
Fortunately, the Muslims I know and have as personal friends, do not believe that. One friend said that if a Islamic cleric told him to be a suicide bomber, he wouldn't do so, then kick the cleric's a$$ for even suggesting it.

The Koran is wonderful, it's the Hadith I have a problem with. Most of them are great too, but they're used to make some pretty harsh laws that seperate people.

You need an unbiased mind to understand Islam, OK? If you cannot think unbiased you can never understand it.
