Hi I certainly don't see Muslims as evil.

As a non-religious person I get the impression that Islam takes itself too seriously. This observation is in part to how they react towards criticism and how they treat their women. When you deny rights to over half of your population, that is not a recipie for a successful society or religion.

Another area where I see a red flag is that there seems to be no room for self-examination from within. Most religions undergo reformations as they grow with changing understandings about the world and values about other people and cultures. Islam has not undergone any such reformation and internal scruitinly is discouraged.

External criticism is another area where Islam shows it's lack of confidence. There have been many scathing critiques of other religions in modern times. Even the worst of these did not provoke more than a censure. With Islam, obscure Danish cartoons start riots in the streets. The book Satanic Verses made its author a target for murder! This would never happen even with the most fundamental segments of other world religions.

In fact Islam is so easily threatened that they blew up the incredibly beautiful old monuments to Buddha that were on the ancient Silk Road in Afghanistan.

Inspite of all I have just said, I do not see the individuals as evil, just highly mislead and pursuing a negative life choice. By the way, I do not recommend any religion.

If you are newly joined to Islam, I would urge you to reconsider. Especially if you are a female. There are other ways to belong, and Islam rejects so much that is good about the world.

You might want to start by having your leaders stop calling us infidels.
Maybe if Iran took out the part about destroying Israel and the west out of their constitution, then we could talk.
Maybe if the moderates of Islam had the courage to stand up and say that the hate being preached in most mosques is wrong, then we could talk.
Maybe if the Arab world wouldn't use deception as a way of doing business, then we could talk.
I hope you accept Jesus Christ and get away from a religion of hate.
I think you are emphasizing ALL Muslims to separate yourself and then you talk about religious freedom.Well, if you look at the typical Islamic theocratic state, I would say that there is very little religious freedom. Is that what you call religious freedom. No. you have to come to America (the great Satan) for that brand of freedom. Cutting heads off of Jews and professing Christians isn't a sign of religion let alone religious freedom. It's not even an idicator that Allah is even involved in your religion.
Let me get this straight, you behead people and then you die and go before Allah and tell him you beheaded people for him and he rewards this act of evil? Are you sure this is a religion that has something to do with good or God or Allah or even being a good and decsent human being? I am not going to even mention the part about abusing your wife for Allah. Please.
The Americans who are still sane can detect a movement for a huge Islamic empire ranging from China to Spain and totally engulfing Europe. The Iranians are leading the way. It is broadcast in their propaganda. Their president makes speeches about it. Millions of ignorant free people ignore that. The Iranians and the rest of the radical Islamiofascists who have hijacked an entire religion are powerful and will have to be defeated if freedom is going to be preserved in our world.
I'm offended as an American that you would equate religious freedom with Islam.

Oh I so agree with u! I am a Muslim too and I am never prejudiced towards Non-Muslims. I live in Singapore, an extremely multi-racial country so we have to learn to not only live with people of other races/religion, we also every now and then need to work hand in hand with them. It's just because terrorist attacks here and there and done by Muslims, it doesn't mean that all Muslims are evil/bad. In actual fact, those Muslim terrorist, I believe, already went so far beyond the Muslim/Islamic belief. They can actually not consider themselves as Muslim. After all, I believe, every single religion in this world teaches their followers good things. No religion would teach its followers to go on violent attacks every so often and give bad name to others! Right? :D

these people are ignorant. i have plenty of Muslim friends and they all are against blowing others up and hijacking planes with boxcutters.( u have to admit tho if u cant overpower a few guys equipped with boxcutters then u cant believe that the government didnt have a part in it but thats another story) there are certain factions that come from Islam that are this way not all of Islam. and some of the things people(mostly American sorry to say) say about Islam is nothing more than propoganda. we are at war with them and have been for as long as i've been alive either directly or indirectly. why say anything good about the enemy? sad, but this is the state of mind of people in the world

My very best friend is a Muslim. She told be a beautiful story about why she wears a head scarf. She said,

"If you have a jewel that was more precious than any other, would you let the whole world look on it and become jealous and do bad things to posess it, or would you hide it away, protect it from bad people and bad things, keep it safe, and then bestow this precious gift, your most wonderful jewel upon the most worthy person you could find."

I never thought of it that way. From then on, I thought she was the luckiest girl in the world. She had a father who thought of her as his most precious jewel. Wow.

People believe this because of the suicide bombers, terrorists,the fact that the Koran supports domestic abuse, and many other factors. I do understand what you mean. We have not met ALL of the muslims in the world so how can we judge. We can only go with what we HAVE seen

ISLAM REVISITED December 16, 2016

HUMAN INSTINCT AND INNATE BEHAVIOR

Now we have AIDS; Ebola; Black anti-cop rioters and blacks protesting for more tax-sucking ‘entitlements’ . . . while we have deteriorating bridges and roads and drinking water pollution and vanishing wildlife and encroaching foreign pests and mad cow disease . . . while we have Hispanic neighborhood housing projects filled with people from other countries who got here illegally, complaining and invoking our own ‘protective’ laws against us for their sole livelihood and income; arsonists burning our forests; . . . but worst of all we have Islamic terrorists. Did we mind our national doors effectively? Did we teach our people to value and respect our evolving, related laws? Did we fail. Is it too late to fix our problems.

I am a student of life sciences, biological study majoring in entomology (insects). So far there are over a million different kinds of insects. I don’t know of one species that is not governed and directed by its special code of “innate” behavior. Insects cannot elect to function in life by any other way than by that code which is built into their genes. Whatever insects do, within their species, they all do it the same way and they get it right the first time. Else they perish.

Lately I am drawing a fearful correlation between reported Islamic behavior and “acquired” behavior that mimics the innate. I grant that the newborn Muslim baby has usual human instinct, but with first direction; first training; first response to choice, that Muslim child is instilled with a specific set of Islamic rules to follow . . . else they perish. That behavior is fundamentally and unchangeably directed, in accordance with the Holy Quran, to ultimately convert or kill all human beings that are recognized as outside their condition. I think Islamic followers are the human equivalent of insects. They soon have no choice but to act instinctively under their early code of instilled psychological instruction. The absence still today of any significant split or faction of Muslims from within their own to rise up in obvious and strong effective opposition to this “code” is my proof that I could be right.

It seems that our great sociologists and psychologists should by now have discovered that Islam spawns an “innate” condition of behavior.

. . . And I expect there to be much more to worry about soon.

The answer to your question lies in how many Christian and Jewish friends you have. If you share peace and love, not hate and harm, people will flock to you.
