Attend and learn. Try to get inside to where you can see the world through a Muslim's eyes. Don't go crackers over stuff they say. Take it in and think about it. Muslims are human and have reasons for what they do, even though it seems wacko to us. We need to learn all we can about what people really believe. How else can we understand and maybe even help? Farakhan puffs and blows fire because people expect him to, but he poops and farts just like everybody else, and I bet he's way ticklish and likes to have his belly rubbed. Think of them as real people who might be a bit confused, because we could be confused too but think we are right all the time!

Islam is a monotheistic religion based on the teachings of the prophet Mohamed. Muslims are people who follow Islam.
Muslims are stereotyped as being very violent because some of the most troubled places today are predominately Muslim nations. Also, fanatic Muslim groups often commit terrorist acts out of desperation. Interpretation of Islamic law (# or treatment of wives, etc.) varies from place to place.
The pope quoted a previous pope's condemnation of Muslims while trying to make an entirely separate point. His words were taken out of context.

okay... a follower of Islam is a Muslim... not all Muslim people are violent. I'm Muslim and I'm not violent (lol). It's just not right to judge people just by their religion. The religion doesn't make the person. The person makes the religion. If you want to attend the meeting, go ahead. Who gives a crap about what others think anyway?

Do nothing that you are unsure of. When in doubt - don't. If you feel afraid, don't go. This applies to religion and everything else.

you are talking about nation of islam, that is no way or shape or form related to muslims or islam
muslim is a person who follows the religion of islam
islam is as you were told the 3rd and final abrahamic religion
the litteral meaning means submission to god.
if you are interested about islam i would suggest you research and read about first.
if you are interested in the nation of islam then i cant help you, and yes some people including me beleive that farakhan is the murderer of Malcolm X, because he discovered that he uses islam to collect money and donations.
islam is not farakhan or what farakhan does.
islam is the religion brought as a mercy to humanity by the last prophet muhammad pbuh.
peace

Be Ware! devil maintains to rework himself right into a angel of sunshine. in case you learn Islam to Mormonism it relatively is the comparable ingredient only 1 is Christian based and one is non-Christian. the two have confidence that the bible is so previous that it relatively is been mistranslated and subsequently has lost it relatively is meaning. So it relatively is been replaced with a clean scripture (Koran or e book of Mormon) yet think of if god went to all that artwork to inspire 40 different men to jot down those sixty six books would he enable guy to taint it? whether on the comparable time i do no longer help the Catholic church the two. How would desire to every person think of that God's blessing is on that church whilst they conceal there sins (molesting of little boys) merely by using fact it relatively is the oldest does no longer make it precise. all human beings needs to seek for the actuality (no longer what suits them) yet what suits with god. faith is predicated on the information of the previous no longer what human beings choose the previous to be yet on what extremely got here approximately. Please do extra examine and locate the actuality. it's going to be with people who prepare the actuality with reference to the bible regardless how different it would be to something.

Muslim means one who submit to the will of God. Islam means peace.
I have seen way too much domestic violence where women get the beating from their boy friends and their husbands right here in US. Don't you know that.

Muslims are followers of Islam (the 3rd Abrahamic religion)
too many questions try to narrow them down a little.
most of what you heard are lies, try learning about Islam and you will know. also, they are not an ORGANIZATION?!!
