I am a Catholic but I want to say that I admire you because you follow your faith no matter the struggle or the hassles. I also admire your modesty.I am aware that not all Muslims are terrorists just as not all Catholics are pedophiles.
Peace Be With You,
Debra
P.s. Yes anyone from any faith or even no faith is capable of being a terrorist. There is no religious requirement.

Ok, I'm not American...but anyways I give my views!! I see you as part of the three main religions, not an outcast and full of craziness, like the media perceives you to be!! To tell you the honest to goodness truth, I would be absolutely amazed to just sit in a Muslim person's house and see how they live their lives!! I really don't care what others may think of you, but it doesn't change my views on you guys!! Look, I may have said some nasty stuff against your religion, please forgive...it doesn't help to carry a burden around with you forever!! I think I've asked pretty much all I've wanted to know about Islam, but I don't feel as though I've learnt enough yet!! There are baddies everywhere...regardless of race, religion or gender!! Anyways, glad to have an intersting group of people like you around!!
May Allah guide you always!!

What do I think of you? You are a person. A human being. Are you a Muslim? It is as you say. If you converted to christianity or something else, you may be evn put to death. Do you even have a choice to be something else? I would be paranoid if I was a Muslim if I met a Chirstian and he was convincing enough to beleive that it was simple enough just to believe that Jesus died on the sin for me to become a believer. The fact is," could I believe him?" Let's see Christianity or death? Hmmm...
O.K. if I was in your shoes I would stay a Muslim. I know as a Christian we all say we would die for our faith, but action speaks louder than words. I respect you. I will still pray for you if I remember.

everyone has a culture, and in that culture is how you learn how to live the way you do,,families even have their own cultures...so to each his own, until judgment day; We can only go by the faith in our hearts to believe what we do, and even though we may not agree all time, we can get along. Americans can be the worst judgmental, prejudice people, that's what this country has thought them, to hate what they don't understand. And it really is not going to matter what others may think, its not going to change your mind from being muslim is it? Taking a poll like this can and will stir up some immature and ugly remarks, that subjects all of us to reading it....Choose your battles wisely Sista!
AND IN RESPONSE TO THE DUMB *** COMMENT THE GIRL MADE ABOUT WHERE TERRORIST COME FROM YOU NOT SO SMART CHILD, BEFORE MUSLIMS THOUGHT OF TERRORIZING, WE ALREADY HAD THEM HOW DO YOU THINK THE PRESIDENTS WE HAVE HAD GOTTEN SHOT. OR OUR SCHOOLS GETTING SHOT UP THEY ARE FROM YOUR RACE IN OUR BACK YARD. GET GRIP LITTLE GIRL

Now that you and the nun wannabe, Debra, are having a mutual respect regurgitation, I have to remind you that both of your intolerant religions have as their end goal the "End of the world" and that your respective superstitious institutions are having a contest to see who can out-breed the other. You are the problem and your intractable religions stand fore-square in the path of the necessary steps that must be taken if Humanity is to survive in any meaningful manner. YOU BOTH ARE EVIL no matter how much sugar you wallow in.

Are we talking about Muslims as individuals or as a group? As individuals I have no problems. Muslims in America I have no problems but thou out the world Muslims (not all Muslims) Just some that kill people who do not follow their ways. Look at Sudan, where the Muslims government are in slaving christian and other because they wont convert to Islam. Is that right? NO
So Those Muslims who do that I do not like.

I don't really know enough Muslims to have a definitive opinion. I'm sure it's like any other religion. I'm certain there are good Muslims and bad ones. Unfortunately, in our country, only the bad ones seem to get that much attention and publicity. I don't understand Islam, but that's only because I don't really understand what motivates anybody to have any religious beliefs. That's not a knock on Islam. It's just my disdain for religion in general.

Most of the people here who are not christians or who are just spiritual, get reported or ridiculed constantly. I don't understand why non religious people keep answering questions of those who are religious. This is just an anonymous forum and why would anybody get so upset that they feel the need to report anyone. If you get offended easily or are so protective of your religion, then you probably shouldn't be on here anyway. My thought is not muslims are not the only religious group of people who get upset over the opinions of others, but most religious groups do too. If you don't agree with the majority, then you must be reported. So why should any non-religious person answer any of your questions.

i'm an atheist but i don't think muslims are any more right or wrong than any other religion. i also think the scarves are good if you got ears like mine. Sometimes i get angry when people pretend that their bombs are wholy or democratic or smart and i'm really sorry for all the kids in the middle east who died or been hurt because americans spend so much money on bombs, that make me want to cry.

For the most part, I don't have a problem with Muslims, they're just the same as anyone else. Islam on the other hand is a concern for me. I maintain that the God of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam is a false god, and I do not look down upon Muslims, but feel sorry for them in that they're lives revolve around this. The same way I feel sorry for the Christians and the Jews. On a one on one basis, I do not have any problems with people.
