Where do you get you information about Islamic belief and muslim culture?

Question

Because I see so many comments where people are saying what muslims believe in but are so way off. I'm just wondering where do these ideas come from is it from the media or somewhere else. If people actually knew an average muslim first hand all of this tension would eased. I also believe if Muslims in the middle east knew the average american they would also not have hate against America. I guess its just a bad job of the Media in the west and also in the MIddle East that they make other cultures look inhumane and only report the most negative and bias news to instill these strange ideas into people's heads.

Answer 1

Western Media is very dangerous. They cater to rich and powerful and keep people in the USA and the world divided by spreading false information about great ideas or spreading only the bad news about every community




I encourage Christians and other religions to learn about Islam from Muslim sources and The Basis Of The Muslim Belief and not rely on second hand information which in many cases is distorted or contains a deep seated anti Muslim agenda. This is indeed a more scholarly approach

Answer 3

purely evaluate and admit out of your coronary heart that there is now no longer god besides the fact that Allah and Mohammed is the prophet of Allah. Congratulations! Heaven! The prophet pronounced " a guy or woman will with the help of no ability enter hell if he had an atom weight of Iman in his heart". So, from that 2nd you will possibly desire to doing the prayers, analyzing Quran, studying approximately your faith, so the ideal concept is to flow to any mosque and tell them which you somewhat % to declare which you would be a muslim and that they are going to enable you to with the excellent element you %. I didnt comprehend what's the outfits coverage, there is not any coverage of outfits for adult adult males as properly which you in basic terms might desire to positioned on some element to duvet putting out out of your umbilicus on your knees, thats it. good good fortune brother, and that i wish which you will verify and love your new genuine faith further and further day by day.

Answer 5

That's the thing. One of my best friends is a Muslim man. He has taught me a great deal, both in discussion and by the way he lives his life. So when all this hatred and stereotyping starts flying around, I think of my friend and his little son, and I become very afraid for both of them. I can't imagine him hurting anyone, unless his son was in danger.

Answer 6

I agree. I have muslim friends in Jordan and India. They are wonderful. They tell me about the culture and things in the quran. I had no idea.

Answer 7

their actions speak for themselves. Find out what Amedinejad, Hamas and other muslim leaders say about Americans and Jews. How many Christians do you see bombing themselves for Jesus killing others to enter heaven? I dont hate muslims, I dont have a gun, I dont want muslims killed, I dont want Islam or want to be forced to believe in it, I dont want to see anyone killed because they gave up Islam for Jesus.......Ive seen the quran and read several surahs and I dont believe it. I believe in the bible. Why must we be taxed heavily or be persecuted for not believing in Islam? Muslims are on the news daily. Go protest against the suicide bombers. You have rights if you are in the US to protest against violence. Are you ok with people killing for allah?

Answer 8

you are right, there is denitely a communication gap.
However, who can love these people who hold guns for no reason and call it Jihad.
There are millions of Hindus, buddists living on this earth.
Why dont they need any guns. ?
I dont completely believe this media, but it is not false either, unfortunately.

Answer 9

Apparently no sources you would approve of. That's it! I should take my Islam-education cues from YOU!

*eyeroll* Yes, it's all a conspiracy to make the average Westerner absolutely hate Islam. It has absolutely nothing to do with Islam being, oh I don't know, NOT a good faith.
