I'm wondering because I'm writing a paper about it, and the stereotypes that accompany Islam today in America. Please be honest! Your answers are appreciated!

The first thing that comes to mind is anger because of what happened to the twin towers. Then I kinda relax, because I know personally it wasn't all of their faults that this happened. You can't stereotype the entire Islam community for a couple stupid idiots. There are some really great people over there...men, children, women...

the word islam means peace,and the culture and habits of muslims evoke that sense of peace&relief.a muslim when meeting another person wishes ''assalamu alaikkum''(peace be on you)right from this gesture you can observe peace&tranquility in all deeds of islam.which religion asks its followers to distribute a share of their wealth to the needy?other religions might be practising it but its not mandatory for them to do it.but in islam its mandatory.Prophet(PBUH)said"if some one is enjoying his meal when his neighbour is starving,then he is not one from us"this indicates the social commitment of islam(the neighbour could be a non muslim)
then think about the social equality in islam,no racial,creed or cultural barriers in islam.in mosque every body stands in a row to pray,(think about other religions)a muslim is socially committed &he should take care of the weak&needy of the society its mandatory.the group prayer(jama''ath)enforces the social interaction.so when i hear islam the first thing that comes to my mind is peace&simplicity

Islam means Muslims there religion is called Islam which is a very religious people, they have so much respect with their religion.. when they pray they cleaned their selves before praising ALLAH their GOD. so they are polite people but sometimes a threat to us.

For me it's the Baha'i Faith because the Baha'i Faith bears the same relationship to Islam as Christianity does to Judaism. I'm a Baha'i.
