what is the first thing you think about when you hear the word?

Question

islam?
did you kmow islam means peace and is a religion
muslims are people that practice islam

there are good and bad people all over the world no matter what religion you are so if your muslim it doesnt mean your gonna blow up something just that you beleive in a different religion then other for example not all christians and catholics are bad people some are good and some are bad just like muslims so how does your religion invlove if you are a bad or good person

Answer 1

I am Muslim!
And i think about heaven!

Being good or bad doesn't have to do anything with your religion!!
Its your characteristic!

Answer 2

Thanks, but I already know the terms.

Of course there is bad and good in whatever group you are looking at.
That said, the extremists in Christianity want you to believe that the earth is only 6000 years old (which is not Biblical by the way - it says the earth is eons old)

But, the extremists in Islam want your children dead.

I see a huge difference between those
"extremes".

Answer 3

The first thing that comes to mind when hearing the word islam, is my neighbour. A very nice guy, and a Muslim.

But I see your point here. I'm also tired of all that silly prejudice about islam and its followers. It's sad.

Answer 4

first thing: muslim
second thing: religion
thrid thing: we don't share the same beleifs

yeah I heard that Islam is supposed to be a religion of peace, and I don't neccessarily doubt that, just no offense but they tend to really prove the Divinity of Christ, which tends to upset me, as well as they provide no rational evidence most of the time. No offense but "Muhammed said he's not" is not evidnce.

but as for thoughts of hate, no, I generally don't associate that thing with muslims unless they bring up past mistakes of other religions, but I tend not to say it.

Answer 5

The Five Pillars.

Even not being a Muslim, I think I can carry most of those over to my faith, though a bit different.

Answer 6

I think of the moon and star symbol when I hear the word islam.

Yes, I knew all that because I actually pay attention when studying religions at school.

Answer 7

billions of people who believe in a mans teachings who knew God very well thru the spirit of God
and Peace to you too
I am reading the"message of the Qur'an "right now to understand Y'all better

Answer 8

I think, 'its another religion with a mix of good and bad people, like every religion, and non religion like aethism.'

Answer 9

Iran, terrorists, people who kill others, even in today's world, just because they are not Muslims.

If Islam means peace, where are all the Islamic leaders of the world that are condemming the fanatics????

Answer 10

organized religion makes me shudder
