The word Islam itself is more of a verb than a noun. It is about achieving harmony through puting your faith in a greater power that interacts with everything. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) delivered instructions on how we can specifically go about doing this. These instructions all revolve around universal respect and keeping in mind that ones actions will reciprocate everywhere.
Tao cannot truely be defined so I will not try to make attempt at defining it. I will say however that Taoism revolves around the concept of a greater power that is connected to everything and that you must work with Tao to achieve harmony.
Question: Would people pelase explain their thoughts on similarities between Islam and Taoism?
-This not to say they are the same but that as different as they are I believe they are very different.

All I know is that the people that believe in this are usually a very violent people and they can think up some of the most wicked kinds of torture during war. They hide behind this peaceful crap and come out bombing.

If you knew a shred about Islamic faith, you preaching Christians would know that these Muslims believe in Jesus as someone speaking god's word as well, and unlike you, they don't idolize him but instead simply revere him in the way the bible and quran tell them to.

I have a few questions for you! Did Muhammad die for you on the cross so that your sins can be forgiven? No,of course not, but Jesus did. Does Muhammad love you? Of course not! He doesn't even know you, but Jesus loves you and He knows you. I am a born again Christian and I have Jesus in my heart. Can you say the same about Muhammad?
