The goal is to live a beautiful life with every action in obedience to the Almighty GOD--that is Islam. In practice, the people who profess Islam live much like non-Muslims, adopting lifestyles found in their societies and promoted by their cultures. Many people who profess Islam do not live Islamically at all.
Clothing: As you know, Islam teaches modesty. It is common for men to wear loose fitting pants and long shirts. Women who practice Islam cover themselves, excepting the face and hands.
Daytime activities: Working, eating lunch, sports...everything you would expect. People who practice Islam occasionally take a break to observe the mandatory prayers (five mandatory prayers daily) and during this month of Ramdan, there will is no lunch. :)
I do not recommend any websites. To get an idea of Muslims living their everyday lives, visit the nearest mosque. You will find that people who practice Islam are much like anyone else, with usual interests, and a little extra something being expressed by the Faith in their hearts (Islam beautifies the heart).

Try Wikipedia. Also, purchase a guide on Islamic historical past written from an goal scholarly standpoint. You'll uncover that Islam has had a enormously constructive affect on historical past. However, you continue to must learn a well translation of the Qur'an (just like the Rodwell or Sale translations, either one of which may also be downloaded on-line).

Islam is a religion of peace. It's often misjudged as religion of terror. People tend to stereotype all Muslims on the actions of a few. In general muslims are peaceful people. We dress moderately, to not draw attention and to always maintain respect. Women wear hijab as a form of prottection and modesty. We put Allah above all other things. We pray five times a day, however our prayer has more structure than other religions. We must wash before prayers, and we must perform our prayers in sequence, we always pray in the direction of Mecca, and with respect to Allah. I think family is more important to Muslims as well, I have noticed the family unit seems to be more connected then most modern families today. I don't really know what else you are wanting to know...so I'll give you some web sites...
www.islamicity.com (there is a mosque locator on this site to help you find a mosque near you to visit.)

Uh there are 1.5 billion of us and we all don't do the same things.
We all try to dress moderately (like no skimpy stuff). A lot of our sisters wear hijab (head scarf).
We all try to pray 5 times a day (at different times throughout day), so our days start a lot earlier (fajr time starts before sunrise) and we have to schedule the day accordingly.
During Ramadan (which is now), we all fast from early down till sunset where we can't eat, drink or have sexual activities.
We also eat specific meat "zabiha". We are allowed to eat meat that jews and christians made though.

Men are not allowed to wear silk or jewelry or anything that is not sutibal to his manly nature. Women can wear jewelry but it must be hidden. They must cover their entire body with hijab. Some also cover their hands and faces. The clothes should not be revealing or tight. It should be loose but not too loose. Anything that conforms the woman's body is not allowed like tight shirts or jeans. A veil is of course required for women. Gambling is a sin and is forbidden.
