What do u know about Islam...being a muslim or a non-muslim?

Question

how do u think of islam mainly...i will appericate all answers...but plz no mocking..

Answer 1

OK, no mocking.

I'm a non-Muslim.

Given Mohammad's character, which is anything but "saintly" and the fact that he was an illiterate, I'm surprised he even managed to get that many people to believe his so very evident lies.

Now, please don't tell me that it's offending to call a spade a spade. There's little or no doubt that Mohammad married older, rich women when he was in his twenties. I can detail all his wives and their and his ages, if you need. We have a word for people like that here, but you might find it offensive.

After he made himself the Prophet, he coveted Zainab bint Jhash, who was then married to his own adoptive son Za'id bin Hareathah Al Kalby; who had to divorce her so that the old man could have her !? You might not find this repulsive, but we call it being morally bankrupt, here.

What would you call a man who attacked and massacred the whole tribe of the beni al-Nadir and took the teenage Safiyya bint Huveyi as a wife?

How about that Mecca had to give him the teenage Maimuna bint al-Harith and all convert to his "Religion" to avoid massacre? And that Juwaraiyya bint al-Harith and the beni Al Mostalag, also suffered a similar fate at his hands.

He "played" with 6 year old Aisha bint Abu Bak'r, when he was a "Prophet" in his 50's, and married her when she was 9 and had started to "menstruate" according to the story in the Koran, itself. We don't consider that "saintly, in fact we condemn it as pedophilia; but then, again we're talking about different cultures here.

I'm sure you know that it was no co-incidence that Abu Bak'r , who gave Mohammad his child daughter, succeeded him as the first Caliph and that Omar, who later gave Mohammad his teenage daughter - Hafsah bint Omar, became the Second Caliph. You also know, I'm sure, that these incidents lead to the desertion of Mohammad by Shi'at Ali, who got disgusted with his cousin and that was the beginning of the Shias.

Then, he said that the Archangel Gabriel came to him and took him to a Cave where he learnt of all the "corruptions" of the Torah and the Bible there?! Interestingly, this incident happened after Khadijah Khuwaylid, his first wife who was over 20 years his senior, took him to her Christian uncle hoping to have him learn some good things from him.

While the truth was that he died a disease ridden death, Omar created the story of his having ascended to Heaven upon the winged donkey six years later when he was the Caliph and claimed the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem.

Muslims like to brag that their "Religion" is Unique and that their texts are not "corrupt", what about all these many changes made by Muslims to the Koran? How come, if what you say is true and the Koran has been "unchanged" that the Wahhabi's will not allow any other version of the Koran other than theirs to enter the "Holy Land" where the owner of such a text is immediately flogged and the copy burnt, forthwith? How then, if Islam is Unique, that there are the Shias, Sunnis, Zaidis, Wahhabi's, Omayyad's, Ismaelis, Dawoodi Bohras, Cutchi Memons, Sufis and Baha'is; just to name a few?

Can you call a "Religion" that when it tells it's members to kill all other who do not believe in it? And to deceive all non-believers and strike them in the back of the head when opportunity shows itself? That the sentence for resisting Islam is Crucifixion and cutting off of the alternate hand and leg? And the punishment for apostasy is death? With the murtad fitri being immediately beheaded and the murtad milli given but one chance to recant?

There are many more reasons why I consider Islam a menace and that I feel that we should ban it's practice and deport it's adherents from Civilized Countries and, I'm sure you've noticed, I know what I'm talking about ... but I think this should more than suffice.

Answer 2

Islam is a strictly monotheistic religion in the "Abrahamic" tradition, meaning that it has the same basic religious narrative of the Torah prophets as does Judaism and also Christianity. Unlike the other two religions, however, Islam does not have scriptural continuity - it does not use the Bible, but replaces it with its own Holy Book, known as "the Noble Qu'ran." The Quran does, however, retell many of the stories from the bible, such as the New Testament's nativity (in Sura Mary) and Exodus (Sura "The Cow").

In addition, many Muslims also follow the Hadith, a collection of stories that detail the prophet Mohammed's mission and life.

Like Judaism, Islam prescribes a religious legal system and system for establishing civil order. In the case of Islam, this system is called "sharia" and is based on the Qu'ran, the traditions of the Hadith, and legal precedent. In countries which use this system, it varies widely. In some cases, it is modified to be close to traditional 'Magna Carta' jurisprudence. In others, it remains a strict medieval legal code, such as in Saudi Arabia.

There are five pillars of Islam, necessary to being a muslim... I don't remember them all without googling, but here's what I can recall:

- Say the shahada
- Say the five prayers a day
- Give to charity
- Make the Hajj once in your life if possible

...heh... guess I only got four of them. :-)

What do I think of muslims? Well, there are good ones and bad ones. I love all muslims who are humble lovers of God. I think Sufi mystics are wonderful.

But I don't like terrorists or triumphalists who tell us we have to stop being Christians, Jews, etc. or otherwise tell us they are right and we are wrong. :-)

Answer 3

As salam mu alaikkum sister "muslimah". Here is a poem for you and all the other believing women... What do you see when you look at me? Do you see someone limited, or someone free All some people can do is just look and stare Simply because they can't see my hair Others think I am controlled and uneducated They think that I am limited and un-liberated They are so thankful that they are not me Because they would like to remain 'free' Well free isn't exactly the word I would've used Describing women who are cheated on and abused They think that I do not have opinions or voice They think that being hooded isn't my choice They think that the hood makes me look caged That my husband or dad are totally outraged All they can do is look at me in fear And in my eye there is a tear Not because I have been stared at or made fun of But because people are ignoring the One up above On the day of judgment they will be the fools Because they were too ashamed to play by their own rules Maybe the guys won't think I am a cutie But at least I am filled with more inner beauty See I have declined from being a guy's toy Because I won't let myself be controlled by a boy Real men are able to appreciate my mind And aren't busy looking at my behind Hooded girls are the ones really helping the Muslim cause The role that we play definitely deserves applause I will be recognized because I am smart and bright And because some people are inspired by my sight The smart ones are attracted by my tranquility In the back of their mind they wish they were me We have the strength to do what we think is right Even if it means putting up a life long fight You see we are not controlled by a mini skirt and tight shirt We are given only respect, and never treated like dirt So you see, we are the ones that are free and liberated We are not the ones that are sexually terrorized and violated We are the ones that are free and pure We're free of STD's that have no cure So when people ask you how you feel about the hood Just sum it up by saying, 'Baby its all good!'

Answer 4

I studied a little about Islam in college. I have read a few books since. I have a good friend who was born in Palestine. He is an ex-Muslim who has 2 doctorates in religion-one being a Ph.D. in Islamic Studies from Oxford. I think I have a fair picture of it.
I do not see Islam as beneficial in any way, especially for Muslims. There are millions and millions of innocent people within Islam who are trapped against their will. Islam can not survive without a weapon. Islam is fighting to survive by killing its own subjects. It makes no sense at all.

Answer 5

My family is Hindu but I'm agnostic, that's what I know about Islam

Unfortunately, my view has been affected by current events and issues around the world, and although I disagree with aspects of the religion and people, everyone has the right to believe what they want and I still don't discriminate

Answer 6

I am Muslim , but that is what my American friend wrote about her experience with Islam, it was a long article, but I only take this part out of it :

"Quote:
I was Christian woman almost all my life until , one day when I came across a book that is negatively stereotyped in the West--The Holy Qur’an.
I was first attracted by the style and approach of the Qur’an, and then intrigued by its outlook on existence, life, creation, and relationship between Creator and creation.
I found the Qur’an to be a very insightful address to heart and soul without the need for an interpreter or pastor" ..Unquote

Answer 7

Learn how a former terrorist's love for his wife set him on a journey that ultimately exposed the lies he was taught and helped the walls of hate within him crumble as love and respect for mankind finally grew in his heart.

The solution to terrorism is in his story. Walid Shoebat

Answer 8

Islam is a parasitic religion. It feasts on the mind of persons causing tension throughout its life.

Answer 9

I m a Muslim ,,, but i can comment on Islam through unbiased approach.
Everybody needs a guideline (religion) to live a life. Now how to select one. The basic thing is that the religion to be followed MUST guide u in all walks of life, from dawn to dust, and throughout the life. Islam can truly be regarded as the complete code of life. But to get the true knowledge, one has to contact the people who actually know the religion. Now a days, politics have made the religion controversial and it is misunderstood. U may not be knowing that there are thousands of websites which claim to be Islamic, but actually the are designed to defame Islam,,,,,, and still lot of people are converting to Islam. And that itself is the proof of its truthfulness and universality.

Answer 10

I took a class on Islam in college which has provided me some scant knowledge of the religion. It's a beautiful faith, the reputation of which has been ruined by those who seek to make it work for their benefit.
