I see profound misundestanding about Islam. Let me clarify some of these here in very limited space. If you have any question write to me at pathowiz@yahoo.com. neither Muhammad (PBUH) is the founder nor the first messenger of the God. He is the last and the final messenger of the God as promised in Torah (Book of Moses) and Injeel (Book of Jesus)
2) The very first messenger of the God was Adam, the very first person on earth and his religion was Islam, the word Islam means Peace and Submission to the God.
3) Muslims believe in one and only God who is the creator and sustainer of everyone of us and the entire universe and Who is free of all weaknesses and shortcomings.
4) Quran is the final edition of all divine books and hence it is protected in its original langauge and has been kept ever fresh
5) All Prophets and their followers were Muslims. Muslims theefore follow Abrahm more than Jews and Christians who was the grand grand father of Moses, Jesus and other propehts

I read the answers. I can assure the some of the writers that the things they have read is from the people who are either ignorant or have tremendous bias agaisnt Islam. The comanions of Muhammad (PBUH0 for exmaple spent their most of the wealth liberating slaves. Abdur Rehman Bin Auf for exmaple liberated 50,000 slaves. Muhammad (PBUH) when died had no wealth although he was the ruler of the entire Arab land. There is no order of killing any innocent. On the contrary Quran order us to have good relation with those who do nto fight with you and even in war do not commit excesses. The Ayas which are quoted are out of reference as these pertain to actual war. In the war a genral will order "Shoot" but does nto mean he is a serail killer. I humbly request you to read Quran first hand. Many learned Christian and some Jews had accepted Islam. As a matter of fact one of the most popular translations of meanings of Quran are from Pikhthal (Ex Christian) and M. Asad (Ex Jew scholar).

You perfect liberal zombie. First of all, how do you know Adam's religion. Never mind, I forgot some of you South Beach Florida commies have been around that long. Second this is called Yahoo Answers. How am I supposed to answer some crackpot, leftwing lecture, on compliance and tolerance to the extremist Muslim throatslitters. When you refer to the "religion of peace" I assume you mean the "religion of pieces." Why would such a peaceful religion's "divine book"(still fresh with blood) exclaim quotes such as the following: "Killing disbelievers is a small matter to us", "Cast terror into the heart of those who disbelieve and stike off their fingertip". The Quaran (Koran) also justifies the beating of a wife by her husband, and the stoning of homosexuals. Yeah, it's peaceful, fmaily must-read, high-quality piece of literature. Cut the lies lib! I bet you didn't hear those facts on CNN.

No ,but I don't really understand any religion nor what relevance it has in a modern society which hopefully intends to peacefully co-exist with all other societies. Religion is nothing more than a crutch for those too weak in the head to accept that when they die that's it.No Heaven,No Hell just slow decomposition or a swift cremation. That's not to say I don't hope I'm wrong, eternity in paradise sounds pretty damn good to me.However I expect any God to judge me on my deeds or lack of them throughout my life and not whether or not I spent a significant amount of my time on my knees in some religious building begging for his salvation.

May I say, without any rancor, that the Muslims may well be be "Peaceful"; but then, take a good look at your History.
Millions of people of other Faiths were killed by Muslim rulers, hundreds of thousands of temples were destroyed, millions were forced to convert to Islam under threat of death... all in the name of Islam ! And this is in the Medieval Ages.
Millions were killed to create Pakistan and by your intolerant mullahs for "heresy" in the Modern Era.
Palestinian Muslims hijacked and murdered thousand in the name of Islam and their "homeland"
Millions of Iranians were slaughtered by the Ayatollah for being modern and they turned a developing country like that into a Medieval culture almost overnight!?
Osama bin Laden even today targets America where his family had made it's wealth and thanks us by giving us 9/11!
There's a lot more, but do I really need to say it?
Sorry, if we are somewhat biased against you Muslims.
We didn't start it.
But, we may just be the people who will end it.

Now that we concluded our religious instruction, I need to ask why you put your sermon in Current Events? Everyone you spoke about lived a minimum of 1400 years ago.
