Why do some brothers and sisters belive in islam?

Question

I thought only arabs did that.

Are there Whites and Asians that do islam as well?

I am Christian.

Answer 1

My belief, Cole: A-rabs are trying to recruit soldiers of all ethnicities to take over the world. But a-rabs really hate all other races than themselves.

Answer 2

Yep, all the time. I am a white American Muslim. In fact, Arabs only make up about 12% of the total Muslim population. Indonesia is the country with the largest population of Muslims worldwide.
The reason so many accept Islam as their way of life is because they believe in the message that Islam portrays. Islam is not secluded to only one culture, as God says in the Quran (the Muslim "Bible") Islam is for all mankind. All it takes to be a Muslim is to believe in the tennants of Islam: that God is One, and there are none that compare to Him, believe in all of His messengers and messages and His creations, and believe in the Day of Judgement.

Answer 3

May the peace, blessings and mercy of God be upon you

Yes there are many different people in Islam. In fact Arabs only make up a 20-25% of the Muslim people in the world. I myself am from an Indo-Pakistani background, but I was born in the US. There are lots of Chinese Muslims, Spanish, Black all sorts of people. They are significant minorities in Europe as well. Islam is not a racial thing, Islam transcends all that. All humans are equal, and all Muslims submit to God. Check out a Mosque for yourself, you will many different types of faces there. Some of the best Muslims I have seen have been white Converts. Some of the most corrupt I have seen are Arabs (keeping girlfriends, drinking, even some who eat pork!).

As to why I believe in Islam, you have to truly read and understand the Qu'ran to know. But its because I have been guided, and those who God guides they cannot be led astray. I believe in One Creator, the All-Forgiving, Most Merciful God. In Arabic the word for God is Allah.

Peace Be With You

Answer 4

They believe in islam for the same reason people believe in christianity, the tooth fairy, santa, voodoo, karma, existence of a soul, or anything else not based on reality. They can't apply rational thought to this belief: whether due to brainwashing (most likely) or simply not having the ability to think rationally.

Answer 5

Yes Islam is the religion for all people black and white .

Its the religion that God wants everybody to have it.

Answer 6

I am not a Muslim currently, although I spent a brief time as one. I found Islam empowering. The Black Church has failed us in many ways, and Muslims seemed to be very interested in helping us as a people become stronger. Islam had chutzpah. Islam felt powerful. Islam armed me to change things. Christianity seemed very weak, and impotent in comparison.
And yes, there are adherents of Islam in every race.

Answer 7

THe majority of muslims are actually from Africa, so a large number of them are African American

Answer 8

There are many Muslims all over the world. The idea that they are all of Arab descent is simply American bigotry in action.

Answer 9

Islam teaches that you can gain power through violence.
This appealed to the American black in the 60's who were attempting to overcome discrimination.
