There are so many conflicting statements about what Islam teaches and doesn't teach. How can I get to the real truth about Islam?

To learn about true Islam, study the Qu'ran. It's the main text of reference for the Islamic faith. Though the Qu'ran is the main text, to learning Islam, it's also important to know what people are being taught. People will lead their lives according to how they're being taught. To learn what people are being taught, you'll have to listen to current Islamic leaders. I'm sure that you'll find leaders who teach love and others who teach hate. You have to decide what YOU are going to believe.

i think of that this sort of thinking comes whilst human beings misunderstand the final ingredient of religion and Islam especially. there is an thought that comes from the texture solid faith of Christianity that God loves absolutely everyone. different suggestions like secular democracy anticipate that one and all each and every physique is equivalent. the fact is that neither ingredient is genuine. whilst a individual chooses one perception over yet another he's for sure assuming that the chosen perception is extra acceptable to those he has not chosen. Islam would not shield any illusions concerning to different ideals or the followers of those ideals. because of the fact the Quran says, people who disbelieve are worse than that livestock. all of us understand what is going to ensue to them and the place they are going. We for sure have self assurance interior the prevalence of Islam over the different man made. the only dichotomy arises whilst human beings attempt to merge the sparkling mandates and ideology of Islam with those suggestions approximately absolutely everyone being of equivalent cost and nicely worth. by potential of all potential face as much as. all of us die interior the top and all of us face judgement. the whole foundation for apostating is provided on a beginning place it is foreign places to Islam and would not replicate the fact of the human subject. It would not handle the veracity or validity of the religion itself.

Yes, all three of the Abrahamic religions have passages that state that God wills that non-believers need to be killed.

"If you hear that in one of the towns which Yahweh your God has given you for a home,. there are men, scoundrels from your own stock, who have led their fellow-citizens astray, saying, "Let us go and serve other gods," hitherto unknown to you, it is your duty to look into the matter, examine it, and inquire most carefully. If it is proved and confirmed that such a hateful thing has taken place among you, you must put the inhabitants of that town to the sword; you must lay it under the curse of destruction-- the town and everything in it. You must pile up all its loot, offering it all to Yahweh your God. It is to be ruin for all time and never rebuilt. (Deuteronomy 13:12-16)

the truth is very obvouse, try telling a moslem your own oppinion, you are doomed for life, they pretend not to be offended because they live here in America, no where else in the world do they tollorate any contrary oppinion, their quaran regard anyone with contrary oppinion as an infidel, that means, the person is a worthless pig that should not be shown mercy,pity, kindness and should be destroyed. they can deny it till the heaven fall down. that is the truth about them and that is what they teach and you will be rewarded if you helpGod in taking care of the infidel. if you read their Quran{ their book} they preach and encourage violence agaisnt non moslems,. because with intinmidation, people will follow them. ask yourself why POPE will make a statement somewhere faraway, and innocent people will die for it, people that does not even have televission will be killed. it is in their Quran, and it is allowed.they only pretend to coexist with other human if they are restrained and contained just like hear in america. i once told a moslem that i will give him a $1000 if nobody was killed during their RAMADAN ceremony, he simply told me it is imposible. because he know that during this period, alot of innocent people who are non moslem will be killed for no fault of their own. in their QURAN, they believe that if my brother offend them, anybody relating to me should be killed. it does not matter that my brother lives in bangladesh or in india,. even his friends who are non moslem should face the same. as far as iam concern they are evill and islam or whatever they call is devillish, i respect peoples oppinion even if i dont agree with them but with them, you must be killed for having a contrary oppinion, no question about it they know it and will deny till they die. the answer to many question about them is in their books and some of the dengerose books are in arabic and can never be traslated. you must learn arabic to understand it, even a request for an english translation is vehemently opposed. even in iraq, you see them killing even their own people and they always tell you 'ALLAH HU AKBAR" meaning GOD is great, tell me how god can be great when inncent people are being killed and these people are your own people. it is a devillish religion, they know it and most people know it. be very careful even to associate with them, because going in is easy and comming out is not an option

UNJUST fighting and killing of someone is a TRANGRESSION AND SIN in ISLAM. but when people attack my family, my country, my country people -- then it is my responsibility to try making PEACE with the enemy. but if the enemy denies my peace and freindship and is still hellebnt on hurting people i love or even me, then i need to take a stand and SELF-DEFEND. so in this case, fighting which is a sin will become permissible.

u can understand this verse best with the verse 190 -191 in same surah.
Qu'ran -- Al-Baqara | 286 verses | The Cow سورة البقرة
Sura #2 | Madina
190 Fight in the way of Allah against THOSE WHO FIGHT AGAINST U, BUT BEGIN NOT HOSTILITIES. Lo! Allah LOVETH NOT AGRESSORS.
191 And slay them wherever ye find them, and DRIVE THEM OUT of the places WHENCE THEY DROVE U OUT, for persecution is worse than slaughter. And FIGHT NOT WITH THEM AT the INVIOLABLE PLACE OF WORSHIP UNTIL THEY ATTACK YOU THERE, but IF THEY ATTACK YOU(there) THEN SLAY THEM. Such is the reward of disbelievers.

ONLY WHEN ATTACKED. -- those words should be given attention to.

in Islam only GOOD DEEDS GET U TO HEAVEN, not killing or suicide -- and this applies TO ALL OF THE MANKIND NOT just MUSLIMS.....

An-Nahl | 128 verses | The Bee سورة النحل

90 Lo! Allah enjoineth JUSTICE AND KINDNESS, and GIVING to kinsfolk, and forbiddeth lewdness and abomination and wickedness. He exhorteth you in order that ye may take heed.

Al-Maeda | 120 verses | The Table Spread سورة المائدة
Sura #5 | Madina
8 O ye who believe! Be STEADFAST WITNESSES for Allah in EQUALITY, and let not hatred of any people seduce you that ye deal not justly. DEAL JUSTLY, that is nearer to your duty. Observe your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is Informed of what ye do.
9 Allah hath PROMISED those who believe and do GOOD WORKS: Theirs will be FORGIVENESS and IMMENSE REWARD.

a true muslim will always be patient, forgiving, kind, and enduring. a haughty, disrespectful and harsh person cant be a muslim. u should tolerate and be pateint until the last breathe of ur tolerance.

Here's the words of Mohammed himself, quoting the Koran:
---------------------------------
Crushing non-believers who are allowed to live under the law of "Sharia"

Fight those among the People of the Book [i.e. Jews and Christians] ... who do not profess the true religion, until they pay tribute out of hand and are utterly subdued. (9.29)

Those who resist Allah and His Messenger will be crumbled to dust, as were those before them. For we have already sent down clear revelations and the unbelievers will have a humiliating penalty. (58.5)

You have had a good example in Abraham and those with him, when they said to their people: "We are quit of you and what you worship apart from Allah. We disbelieve in you. Enmity and hatred have arisen between you and us forever, till you believe in Allah alone." (60.4)
--------------------------------
Ethnic Cleansing:

Then their Lord revealed to them: "We shall destroy the wrongdoers (who refused to accept Allah). And We will make you dwell in the land after them." (14.13-14)

If the hypocrites, those in whose hearts is a sickness and those who spread lies in the city, do not desist, We will certainly urge you against them and then they will not dwell with you therein as neighbors but for a short time. (33.60)

It is He Who drove out the unbelievers among the People of the Book from their homes at the first mustering. (59.2)
----------------------------------------

Oppression of non-believers who are allowed to live:

Believers, do not make friends with any but your own people. They [i.e. non-Muslims] will not fail to corrupt you. They long for your ruin. Hatred has already shown itself out of their mouths, but more grievous is what their breasts conceal. (3.118)

Allah revealed His will to the angels, saying: "I shall be with you. Give courage to the believers. I shall cast terror into the hearts of the infidels. Strike off their heads, strike off the very tips of their fingers!" That was because they defied Allah and His apostle. He that defies Allah and his apostle shall be sternly punished by Allah. (8.12-13)
------------------------------------
Islamic Tolerance:

Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran ... should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth.


Everything we need to know is in the Koran. We don't need to look somewhere else.

-- Omar M. Ahmad, chairman of CAIR, the mainsteam Muslim advocacy group, quoted in the San Ramon Valley Herald, July 4, 1998.

"Allah" is not the same god as God the Father of Christianity, no matter what Muslims say. Mohammed was no prophet of God.
