Answer 2

I believe that the religion a person has is largely influenced by geography. For example, If you are born in Russia or the West, you will most likely be Christian, maybe Jewish. If you're born in the Orient, you will be a Buddhist; in the Amazon jungle a spiritualist and in Bosnia, the Middle East or Indonesia a Muslim.

I believe that it is hard to leave the religion you are born into. Most people chose their parents religion and the religion of thier ancestors and stay with it. I have heard on TV about a few Muslims who become Pentacostal Christians and a few Lutheran, Anglican and Catholic Christians who become Muslims, but it is rare.

All religions are more like each other than different from each other. For example, all of them teach people not to steal, to murder or to lie about other people. They all teach that rich people should show compassion to the poor and try to share some of their wealth with them.

In this respect, Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism and Islam are all rather similar.

Unfortunately, Islam right now is going through some turbulent times. Much like what Christianity was going through during the time of the Pilgrims and the Puritans in the 17th centuy when there was a lot of religious fanaticism. Hopefully, this is only a temporary situation and things will eventually moderate and stabilize themselves within the Islamic faith.

There has been a lot of cruelty and evil in religion as well as good. However, history seems to show that sooner or later all religions clean up their act and become more moderate and humane. For example, there was a time when Catholic and Calvinist Christians were both burning people at the stake for heresy and witchcraft but they eventually wised up and stopped this terrible practice. There was a time when wealthy Hindu widows were expected to join their husbands in death by jumping on a funeral pyre - but this practice has been stopped too.

Answer 3

Wasalaam Aleykum.
Which kind? Shia? Sunni? Wahabbism? Sufism? and from which country? It is different in every country from Morocco to the Maldives. My imagination of you is that you live outside KSA or IRIran or Iraq. You are westernised and have internet access. You probably have a large family and they are middle to upper (economic) class. You are an easy going person and have spend more time in the company of westernised people than most people do in your own culture. I may of course be totally wrong! Your natural mother tongue is not English.

Answer 4

I see Muslims on an individual basis, for each seems to be different. In Islamic countries (Egypt and Jordan), one Muslim would caringly give me directions, while another would pick my pocket. I have seen many who find that ripping off an infidel as good sport. I have seen others that rebuke them. So really, it all depends.
My biggest disdain for Islam (Islamic countries) is how they teach their children to hate. I have video after video of Islamic children being taught to regard Israel as an evil state and Jews as needing extermination. Not satisfied with 1/3 of the land mass of the earth, they want that tiny sliver of land for themselves. They promise land for peace, and deliver continued violence and shouts of destruction. Give them Jericho, and they are not satisfied. Give them Bethlehem, and they are not satisfied. Give them Gaza, and they are not satisfied.
Now remember, I am talking Islam as a "body", not the individual Muslim. For example. There have been almost 7,000 terrorist attacks since the 70s done in the name of Allah and Islam. How many times has the U.N. denounced these attacks? ZERO. Yet Israel, in trying to defend herself, has been condemned hundreds of times. Can you see the utter imbalance? One Jew went crazy in Hebron, and immediately the Knesset condemned the action. If Islam would do that, then my view would change over night.

So individually, it depends on the Muslim that I meet and talk to. Corporately, I think Islam is guilty of major crimes against humanity by being silent when condemnation is due.

As for my impression of you. How could I possibly answer that without knowing how you feel regarding all people including the Jews, their small sliver of homeland, certain passages in the Qu'ran in this regard, whether or not a Muslim has the right to convert without a death sentence put on his head, what you think about the genocide in the Sudan, etc? So I will leave that up to you and your own conscience.

Answer 5

My son is in Saudia Arabia now to do Hodge in Meca and is soooooooooooooooooooooo excited. I respect my sons religion and his right to worship how he chooses. I understand islam just have a hard time believing it' s principals. I am a Christian and don't understand why you would have to feel you need to earn your way to heaven. The point system just doesn't cut it for me. ............. Points for charity, doing for your mother, doing good deeds. These are things most religions agree should be done, but for points????? Sorry, I just can't see it. We are all impure and need to pray and pay homage.

We agree to disagree in my home and I choose not to have religion & politics brought up when he is over so we don't end up in screaming matches. My son is very devout in his beliefs and is a good son, father and man. You asked and I have given a round answer as I don't know you personally. There are good and bad people everywhere. Most likely you are one of the good ones.

Answer 6

i think you blame all wars between non-muslims and muslims on the non-muslims.

you say you love islam but don't want to live in a muslim country surrounded by muslim people with a muslim way of life

you think everything is the fault of the west and the jews, nothing is muslims fault.

Answer 7

If it kept its violence and hatred within its own borders, it could be lived with. But due to some 'fundamentalist soya- beans', the world has taken quite a hating to it.
It is strange that it seems to be the only religion which, when one talks about it, you've sort of got to go in to the subject asking 'permisssion', so as not to offend the very weird ones. This is ridiculous - they have about as much sense of humour as their allah, whoever that violent clown turns out to be.

Answer 8

I like Reza Aslan and am reading his book, "No God But God."

I am also trying to read the Qu'ran and I don't care for it much. It seems more hateful than the bible.

The Muslims I have known in my life are kind people - they seem to be a little bit "stand offish" but very nice, generally.

Answer 9

I`m not even sure any more. I used to think it was a peaceful religion with some bad people, now I`m starting to believe that the people are indifferent to others & allow the radicals to have their way. I don`t understand why they will risk their lives to vote, but won`t risk their lives to save their lives. 100`s are killed each day. STAND UP AND DEFEND YOURSELVES !!!

Answer 10

The followers of Islam are easily manipulated by ruthless men and cultural practices that should have been abandoned and left in the middle ages.
