I am a Muslim and I don't agree with half the Muslims around the world. To be honest, Allah wants us to be the best Muslim that we can be and our holy book teaches us how to. Some odd Muslims twists the words of our holy book (Quran) and make it so that they get what they want. The only thing Allah demands from Muslims is to help each other strive to become the best person they can be. I know most people will not agree with this statement because of what the media portrays and even some stupid "Muslims" out there, but really its the truth

The Bible, the Quran, etc., while religious texts, were written by man. I really don't believe that they were actually meant to be spiritual in any way, shape or form except to scare the people of that time period into behaving themselves. I view those books as more of a societal and a behavioral guide than books that are meant to further one's spiritual path. Many of the laws, including the ones that determine what food is kosher, etc., were mainly an attempt to keep order within society.
Religious people know that God/Allah wants them to do certain things because they believe that it is so. The whole point of religion is having faith in something that you may or may not necessarily be able to prove. Religious people obtain their convictions from their own experiences within the religion that they follow.

How dare you place the God & allah on the same level...allah never existed, it was/is a stone moon god!
John 3:16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[a] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
According to Isalm allah never had a son! So it's not the same god.
When GOD speaks to you YOU WILL KNOW!
P.S. allah can't speak he doesn't exist.
The LORD, Not Idols
Isaiah 44:6 "This is what the LORD says—
Israel's King and Redeemer, the LORD Almighty:
I am the first and I am the last;
apart from me there is no God.

Its not GOD! I don't think so. It's Leaders of religion that tells people that this is Allah's wish! This is the same tactic Christians used to wage wars on other religions in the past. Does it mean, Jesus was telling them to kill people...no! It was the religious and greedy people who wanted to gain powers by using God name. Same thing is true for some crazy people from Muslim community. They are using lost people by telling them that it's Allah's' will.

Yeah!
How would that sound?
Allah: First I want you to pass a rumor: Those that once healed you will kill you. Next I want you to take a car full of nails and gasoline and propane gas, and fail to blow it up. And then I want you to hurry to an airport and start the smallest part of the building on fire, and fail to do much at all. And then get put on trial and rot in jail.
Good work my servants!

The problem is that to properly answer one must have faith in the religion of their choosing. It is then that they will believe with their hearts and not their minds that the word in the books are the true words of their deity.
For me, I keep an open mind, all religion's may be right or all may be wrong, but who am I to tell you what you should think and believe.

The Bible is a great instruction manual for life. If I read God's word & still have questions I pray & ask God for guidance. He has never failed me.

No. no. It is God alright. You just need more faith. Send me $50 and I will ship a whole sack of fresh faith to you my little faith partner. Remember though, more $ = more faith.

it depends on what "side" is ruling them. Many things are blamed on spiritual enitities that have nothing to do with the will of that spiritual entity.
