1) one malay muslim friend of mine said that muslims bathe once a week... is it true? if so, why?? whats wrong in getting clean?
2)i thought muslim women should wear clothing which is knee length at least? but my teacher (a malay muslim woman) wears skirts above her knee.
3)if islam is a "religion of peace and love", y is there so much fighting caused by muslims? forget outside.. there is fighting withing islam itself.. bombing each others' mosques etc. etc...
4)Muslims keep blaming others of being racist... but then in islam, anyone who isnt a muslim is called infidel, which means "evil, unreligious, ungodly"... if that isnt racism then what is?

Aha! Read Aziz unreal 79's response... he says become muslim and they would stop calling us infidel. See! Shows their mentality: "convert or suffer"

there are fightings among non muslims.. but i dont think any of them fight within their own religion.. so much as to go around bombing the worship places... there are a lot of branches in Christanity too, but i dont see any bombings of churches or anything...

They are filthy, evil and barbaric. They mustn't wash or use deodorant as they stink. I had to work with two, and my eyes actually used to water from the stench. I worked with an Australian in the same place who was told to pay more attention to his personal hygiene, yet no-one would have dared to say the same to Muslims as there would have been uproar as usual.
As for Islam being a religion of peace and love, just look at the evidence: Numerous terrorist attacks and beheadings. A nun killed in cold blood because the Pope quoted a 14th century emperor. I can find no evidence to suggest that the followers of this evil cult even know the DEFINITION of peace.

I'll answer 1 and 2 and leave 3 and 4 for the others. Actually, you should put up 4 separate posts.
1: No, this is not true.
2: Technically, Muslim women should wear clothing which covers the knees and all the legs. However, some 'moderates' wear 'modern' dress. You'll find many different interpretations of the dress code within Islam. It's quite unusual, but not unheard of for a Malay female to dress like this. Also, do you realise that not all 'Malaysians' are 'Malay' or Muslim?

1. NO. both my husband and i and ALL muslims as far as i know take a bath atleast 2/3 times a day. people in Africa, Afghan also do not take bath as there is water scarcity. also in Gaza, people dont have water to drink for ur allies Israel blew up their only plant.
2. well are u sure that ur teacher is a muslim? for i live in Far East and i know my people better. so stop bluffing i live in the heart of Far East.
3. there is equal and more than much bloodshed in other religions apart from Islam. if u would like then i will give u a small list of all atrocities carried out by ur glorius religion.
4. muslims dont initiate anything. u people go to their countries and loot and plunder every country on the face of the Earth and steal every little invention and discovery -- right from tea, to silk, to rubber to Kohinoor Diamond -- everything and have become rich. just open a single chapeter called -- EAST INDIA COMPANY.
seems the imaginary Malay freind u have is none but u. why do u come to our countries if u have a problem?. "BE LOYAL to the hand that feeds u."
let me see which God will accept people who are an expert in lying, slandering and hoarding wealth?. and it is a shame u dont know who an infidel is. if u read the Qu'ran, u will see that Islam says -- jews and christians are -- PEOPLE OF THE BOOK and INFIDELS ARE -- IDOL WORSHIPPERS. if u have doubts on who infidel is -- please ask and i will let u know

you cant judge on Islam and muslims as simple as this .. one muslim cant be a representitive for Islam .. there are good muslims and bad muslims .. there are relegious muslims and non relegious muslims ..
1. Islam doesnt say to have a bath once a week or more .. it depends on the person .. Islam encourage for being clean and it says that what may hurt people (bad smell or look) will hurt angles too .. Before every pray muslims wash their hands, face, nose, mouth, arms, ears , feet ..
2. some women are not relegious and they dont wear Hijab or clothes that is long .. so again u cant judge !!
3. fighting in islam !!! this is right .. but muslims who do this are not real muslims and they dont understand the real islamic rules and goals .. so they disturb the look of islam ..
4. muslims dont say about nonmuslims evil or unreligious ... they call christians and jews the "people of book " i dont know if the translation is the right one !!!!!! it means those people who belive in the books (Bible and Torah) .. they say Kuffar about those who dont believe in God ..

1) Cleanliness is from ISLAM (Muslims should always be clean )
2) Yes your thought is correct but their is always people that just find it fun to disobey (clothes should cover the woman except her hands and face with two conditions 1-isn't transparent 2-isn't tight so it still describes her body)
3)People every where fight about anything but it is always the wrong reasons and bad pictures of ISLAM is the most covered stories by the media
4)Allah is the one and only GOD HE sent all his prophets for one reason which is leading the people to the true path to heaven and his obedience and the last of all religions is ISLAM so not being a muslim is unlogic if you are a true christian
P.S. Bathing on friday isn't obligatory

Muslim HAVE (not should) to keep clean, its a very high important act to accept your pray, because of that, Muslims clean their hands, legs, faces, hair...etc before their pray 5 times a day, Muslim have to get bath every day even after sex directly, because that could made him sick.
Muslim women HAVE TO wear clothing which is heel, and not all Muslims are religious like Christians not all of them are religious, I pray to your teacher.
The fighting happened as a reaction of Westerns policies against middle east, oil control, stealing Palestine, but Islam don't accept innocents killing regardless the reasons, and who did 11/9 are not real Muslims like you consider that who did Qana massacers 1 & 2 by a christians smart sockets are not a christians, or who nuked Japan, what now?
Islam called Christians and Jews by believers, and order Muslims to coexist with all people regadless their religion, even who pray for the stone, but what would you do if some one came to your land, steal your home & killed your family?

1)Muslims can bathe how much they want but every Friday they have to bathe(it is obligatory)
2) They have to waer clothing which is knee lengh at least. THis is to stop men from looking at them.(except the husand who has the right).It it a mark of piety.
3) THese peoples are extremists and are not considered muslims.
4) these people who say that are also considered extremists and non-islamic

1. Get new friends
2. Get a new teacher if her Islamic non-practices offend you.
3. Is there no fighting among the non-Muslims?
4. a non-Muslim in Islam is not called infidel. he is called 'kafir' which means 'one who rejects faith'.
If you are so concerned about being called 'kafir', accept Islam and we'll stop calling you that.
Glad my answer tickled you but I didn't ask you to convert into an idiot. Let's put it another way, if you really suffer being called kafir, then don't be a kafir. lol.
May Allah guide you.

1. No we are obsessed with cleanliness. you have to bathe constantly for "God loves those who are clean"
2. there a different interpretations (i don't believe in the hijab), but God tells women in the Qur'an to cover their chest with any cover as the word "khamir" is used and that just means cover so shirt, scarf, top anything. They shouldn't reveal part of their body except what is necessary, and this is left ambiguous and up to the individual woman to decide as God imposes no hardship in his religion. God just tells women to lengthen their garments and does not impose a length, so it is not up to anyman to say what length this should be, as God did not leave anything out of the Qur'an it is obviously deliberately left ambiguous and up to the woman's decision. He could have said to the knees or to the calf as God does not run out of words but he obviuosly felt this was a womans choice, so your teacher is not doing anything wrong. the real importance of dressing in the Qur'an for God is have a modest and rightuous heart. And modesty and "what is necessary" is understood differently in different cultures and by different women as God understands.
3&4> i think i've been through thoese enough in other questions.
