There is 600 to 800 now Islamic centers in the USA. There is over a million Muslims in the USA that support these multimillion dollar mosques. They are neither Sunni or Shina or Jesus.
they are not ham-mas or al quaida or any of the other branches of Muslim in the other countries. They do not all believe in the women wearing veils or burkas. The movie JAGG the lady attorney Mac is a Muslim. She wears an American uniform.
This is how the quaran is explained.
They speak Arabic. It is not ABC's but characters.
It has to be translated into English for us to read it. Some have chosen to translate it into arckatcia English to emphasize it is old writings. The same is true of some people with the bible.
They prefer the King James Version Bible when many better English translations are available. Keeping Allah as the name of god when the correct english word is Jehovah KJV Psalms 83:18

excellent resources to answer you religion questions since there are so much of them.
I'm actually quite shocked at your question about "Are they Muslims-for-Jesus?" in the Islamic religion, Jesus is believed to be a Prohphet of God and is mentioned several times in the Quran (I've read it).
One can read the Quran, but you have to realize that the interpretation goes to scholars who study for years b/c the Quran was revealed over a period of 20 something years and many chapters/verses etc were revealed in a certain context.
And you know the Quran has never been changed, it has remained the same since it was complied into the the volume, nothing taken out or added in, not the same for the bible (as one can tell from the hundreds of different versions).
and also about the person who said the Quran is based on the Torah...does this person not realize that Muslims believe in Moses and that God revealed the Torah to Moses? Jews and muslims are similar in regards to that b/c the muslims believe Moses preached the same theology of one God as Jesus and Muhammad, and Noah and whoever else.

i do no longer prefer to generalize....regardless of if this is genuine, from my adventure, that maximum Muslims understand the Quran greater suitable than maximum Christians understand the Bible. some Muslims understand the Bible greater suitable than some Christians. in the time of Ramadan Muslims are meant to study the finished Quran. greater than a number of Muslims of each and all ages, female and male, memorize the finished Quran and could recite it (in Arabic).

You do realize that both the Bible, and the Quran are based on the Torah, right? All three religions are from the same geographical location, so take it easy on all the hate. Personally I think that all religions are nonsense. Peace.

This is a perfect example of an opinion and view that will get you in trouble, do you not know that your freedom of speech has been revoked, my suggestion would be to all out there do not answer or ask any questions regarding Muslims or Islam.

Lectio Divina is Latin for “spiritual reading” and represents an early monastic technique of prayer which continues in practice though less widely, intended to achieve communion with God as well as providing special spiritual insights and peace from that experience. It is a way of praying with Scripture that calls one to study, ponder, listen and, finally, pray from God's Word.
History
Lectio Divina was first expressed in the year 220 AD. It was found that to read the Bible profitably it is necessary to do so with attention, consistency and prayer. The systematization of “spiritual reading” into four steps dates back to the 12th century. Around 1150, Guigo II, a Carthusian monk, wrote a book entitled “The Monk’s Ladder” (Scala Claustralium) wherein he set out the theory of the four rungs: reading, meditation, prayer and contemplation. In 2005, Pope Benedict XVI stated, “This is the ladder by which the monks ascend from earth to heaven.”
Method
Lectio is typically practiced daily for one continuous hour. A selection from the Holy Scriptures is chosen ahead of time, often as a daily progression through a particular book of the Bible.
Time
Selecting a time for lectio divina is important. Typical methods are to pray for one hour in the morning, or to divide it into two half-hour periods, one in the morning and one in the evening. The key is to pre-select the time that will be devoted to the prayer, and to keep it. Using the same time every day leads to a daily habit of prayer that becomes highly effective.
Place
The place for prayer is to be free from distractions. This means it should be isolated from other people, telephones, visual distractions, etc. Some find a religious icon to be helpful. The same place should be used for lectio if possible, especially as one first begins to practice it. Familiarity with a location reduces the possibility of distraction away from the prayer. Some practitioners conduct other devotions, such as praying before the Catholic Eucharist, as a preparation for Lectio Divina.
Preparation
Prior to reading, it is important to engage in a transitional activity that takes one from the normal state of mind to a more contemplative and prayerful state. A few moments of deep, regular breathing and a short prayer inviting the Holy Spirit to guide the prayer time helps to set the tone and improve the effectiveness of the lectio.
Once the stage is set it is time to begin the prayer. There are four phases of the prayer, which do not necessarily progress in an ordered fashion. One may move between different phases of the prayer very freely as the Spirit guides.
The Four Moments
Lectio
Read the passage several times.
Meditatio
Reflect on the text of the passage, thinking about how to apply to one's own life. Gravitate to any particular phrase or word that seems to be of particular import. This should not be confused with exegesis, but is a very personal reading of the Scripture and application to one's own life.
Oratio
Respond to the passage by opening the heart to God. This is not primarily an intellectual exercise, but more of the beginning of a conversation with God.
Contemplatio
Listen to God. This is a freeing oneself from one's own thoughts, both mundane and holy. It is about hearing God talk to us. Opening our mind, heart and soul to the influence of God. Any conversation must allow for both sides to communicate, and this most unfamiliar act is allowing oneself to be open to hearing God speak.

There really should be a limit to the questions one is allowed to pose in one posting......and the questions posed should make sense. Would it be possible for you to rephrase your question so that I can understand exactly what it is you want for an answer?
Thank you.
