FYI im asking to reconfirm rumors about Islam. Please forgive my speling.

1.Did Allah create the world? If he did, why can't Muslims eat pork? If Allach created pigs, doesn't it mean that pigs are ok to eat? (If it's about what pigs eat, then can't farmers change the pigs' food?) If NOT, why do Muslims believe in a god that didn't create everything?
2.Didn't Allah say that Muslims shouldn't kill? If so, why do Muslim terrorists attack people? and why is it ok to kill non-believers?
3.Why do many Muslims believe in Islam when they don't even know IF they go to heaven or not? Doesn't that mean that they COULD go to hell?
4.Does Allah say anything about forgiveness?

Let me refrase question #3. Why Muslims believe in Islam when they are not garenteed (100%) that they will go to heaven?

If people worked to go to heaven(trying to negate their sins) wouldn't it be impossible? cuz people sin 24/7 and we don't know what degree is how bad we sin.

eg. I kill a person, tell 10 lies, and a gossip. If i did 3 hrs of charity work to compensate for my sins (one min for every lie/gossip, and one hour for each person i kill) does that mean that the left over time will garentee my path to heaven?

1- we don't need to eat everything that Allah created so it is not a contradiction. Also Jews don't eat pork too so you can find it routed in the old testament.

2-Muslims should defend themselves and in the process they should not kill civilians watch this video about who speaks for Islam to know the truth.

http://video.google.com/url?vidurl=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.google.com%2Fvideoplay%3Fdocid%3D-1880634439334260747%26q%3Dlabel%253A%2522islam%2522&docid=-1880634439334260747&ev=v&esrc=sr1&usg=AL29H20alD6VbQiBrBDeLwbKoZl9P7HXgA

3- Believing in Islam while not knowing whether you will go to heaven or hell is Islam strongest point because it makes you WORK to go to heaven not just say words by your mouth and then go and do whatever you want thinking that you are guarnteed heaven just because words you said.

4- As for forgiveness from Allah for your sins you can read it in the follwing verses from the Third surah

[135] And those who, when they have committed Fahishah (illegal sexual intercourse) or wronged themselves with evil, remember Allâh and ask forgiveness for their sins; - and none can forgive sins but Allâh - And do not persist in what (wrong) they have done, while they know.

[136] For such, the reward is Forgiveness from their Lord, and Gardens with rivers flowing underneath (Paradise), wherein they shall abide forever. How excellent is this reward for the doers (who do righteous deeds according to Allâh's Orders).

if you are looking for forgiving others you can read this one from Surah 24

[22] And let not those among you who are blessed with graces and wealth swear not to give (any sort of help) to their kinsmen, Al-Masâkîn (the poor), and those who left their homes for Allâh's Cause. Let them pardon and forgive. Do you not love that Allâh should forgive you? And Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

I hope what I wrote did not reconfirm your ideas.

to answer your rephrased question

you always hope for the mercy of Allah SWT. unlike other believes in Islam we don't think that humans must always make sins or that they carry any kind of sin by nature.

We think they are capable of doing good and they can come on the day of judgement with more good deeds than bad ones.

now for killing a human being working for 3 hours will not overcome that sin here is a verse from Surah 5 to help you understand where does Islam stand on that matter

Because of that We ordained for the Children of Israel that if anyone killed a person not in retaliation of murder, or (and) to spread mischief in the land - it would be as if he killed all mankind, and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind. And indeed, there came to them Our Messengers with clear proofs, evidences, and signs, even then after that many of them continued to exceed the limits (e.g. by doing oppression unjustly and exceeding beyond the limits set by Allâh by committing the major sins) in the land!.

so we as muslims don't take taking human lives as an easy thing.

now for the gossip here is what Quran says about that
this is from Surah 49

[12] O you who believe! Avoid much suspicions; indeed some suspicions are sins. And spy not, neither backbite one another. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would hate it (so hate backbiting). And fear Allâh. Verily, Allâh is the One Who forgives and accepts repentance, Most Merciful

so you can't just go around killing people or gossiping about them and thinking that you can later repent and ask for forgivness and get it.

As for telling lies it is considered as one of the major sins and there are those who say that it makes you as close to being a non believer as you can get.

compared to the Bible, the Quran does no longer has any contradictions. the various so-noted as contradictions got here across are purely glaring contradictions attributed to at least one lack of ability to have a splendid understanding the severe generic of language used. thus far, none has been waiting to go back out with a real contradiction.
