1. Media maligns Islam
1. Islam is without doubt the best religion but the media is in the hands of the westerners who are afraid of Islam. The media is continuously broadcasting and printing information against Islam. They either provide misinformation about Islam, misquote Islam or project a point out of proportion, if any.
2. When any bomb blasts take place anywhere, the first people to be accused without proof are invariably the Muslims. This appears as headlines in the news. Later, when they find that non-Muslims were responsible, it appears as an insignificant news’ item.
3. If a 50 year old Muslim marries a 15 year old girl after taking her permission, it appears on the front page but when a 50 year old non-Muslim rapes a 6 year old girl, it may appear in the news in the inside pages as ‘Newsbriefs’. Everyday in America on an average 2,713 cases of rape take place but it doesn’t appear in the news, since it has become a way of life for the Americans.
2. Black sheep in every community:
I am aware that there are some Muslims who are dishonest, unreliable, who cheat, etc. but the media projects this as though only Muslims are involved in such activities. There are black sheep in every community. I know Muslims who are alcoholics and who can drink most of the non-Muslims under the table.
3. Muslims best as a whole:
Inspite of all the black sheep in the Muslim community, Muslims taken on the whole, yet form the best community in the world. We are the biggest community of tee-totallers as a whole, i.e. those who don’t imbibe alcohol. Collectively, we are a community which gives the maximum charity in the world. There is not a single person in the world who can even show a candle to the Muslims where modesty is concerned; where sobriety is concerned; where human values and ethics are concerned.
4. Don’t judge a car by its driver:
If you want to judge how good is the latest model of the "Mercedes" car and a person who does not know how to drive sits at the steering wheel and bangs up the car, who will you blame? The car or the driver? But naturally, the driver. To analyze how good the car is, a person should not look at the driver but see the ability and features of the car. How fast is it, what is its average fuel consumption, what are the safety measures, etc. Even if I agree for the sake of argument that the Muslims are bad, we can’t judge Islam by its followers? If you want to judge how good Islam is then judge it according to its authentic sources, i.e. the Glorious Qur’an and the Sahih Hadith.
5. Judge Islam by its best follower i.e. Prophet Mohammed (pbuh):
If you practically want to check how good a car is put an expert driver behind the steering wheel. Similarly the best and the most exemplary follower of Islam by whom you can check how good Islam is, is the last and final messenger of God, Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). Besides Muslims, there are several honest and unbiased non-Muslim historians who have acclaimed that prophet Muhammad was the best human being. According to Michael H. Hart who wrote the book, ‘The Hundred Most Influential Men in History’, the topmost position, i.e. the number one position goes to the beloved prophet of Islam, Muhammad (pbuh). There are several such examples of non-Muslims paying great tributes to the prophet, like Thomas Carlyle, La-Martine, etc.

Well, first of all in my personal view i think there is no such word as 'best' for religion. All religion have their way of it's own.
my religion is Islam and i am proud to be one(:
before you judge whether Islam is the best religion you need to do some background info or get to know more about Islam.
do some research.
many people like you choose Islam has their religion because they say that Islam answered all their questions that other religion can't answered.
i think you better do some research that helps you more in the understanding of Islam(:
good luck for that i wish to elaborate more but i think doing your own research will be best for you to know more about Islam.

Islam is the only true religion at present,
other religions are either false or corrupted.
and for Kennith H. above , it is very obvious that he is so ignorant about Quran , History and Arabic language , so he is interpretting the texsts wrongly in obvious bad intention according to his own wishfull thinking . getting advantages that nobody will check what he falsely claimed .
by the way mr. ignorant kennith, Thal Qarnain is not Alexender the Great .
Also for Geneses 15.15 , The poor guy thinks that he caught a catch by talking about Mariam sister of Haroun , and Moses Al Imran, this is an arabic way of relating the people in figuarative way, like we Khansa sister of Quraish , well well I don't think you will understand anyway .

what matters about religion is whether or not it'd lead us to the correct path to the real God. 'best religion' sounds odd for me BUT the Islam teachings is considered to b the best (means complete and truthful) compared to others..

It is a way of life! It's followers believe in the Books sent by Allah (Torah to Moses, Psalms to David and Bible to Jesus and of course the Quran to Muhammad). Islam is implemented in everyday living for Muslims.

Why wouldn't there be a best religion? If there is only one that leads to Heaven, then I think that one would definitely be the best religion. But then again, no religion in and of itself can get a person to heaven. What we need is a relationship with the almighty.

Hi,
Yes Islam is the perfect and best religion read the below please.
Islam is the religion which was given to Adam, the first man and the first prophet of Allah, and it was the religion of all the prophets sent by Allah to mankind. The name of God's religion lslam was not decided upon by later generations of man. It was chosen by Allah Himself and clearly mentioned in His final revelation to man. In the final book of divine revelation, the Qur'aan, Allah states the following:
"This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion". (Soorah Al-Maa'idah 5:3)
"If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah (God) never will It be accepted of Him" (Soorah Aal'imraan 3:85)
"Abraham was not a Jew nor Christian; but an upright Muslim." (Soorah Aal'imraan 3:67)
And those who hates Islam or Muslims are not aware what they are doing May Allah (SWT) Shows you the right way,
"And behold Allah will say: "O Jesus the son of Mary Did you say to men, Worship me and my mother as gods besides Allah He will say-"Glory to you I could never say what I had no right (to say')" (Soorah Al-Maa'idah- 5:116)
Nor did he worship himself when he worshipped but rather he worshipped Allah. This basic principle is enshrined in the opening chapter of the Qur'aan, known as Soorah Al-Faatihah, verse 4:
"You alone do we worship and from you alone do we seek help".
Elsewhere, in the final book of revelation, the Qur'aan, Allah also said:
"And your Lord says:"Call on Me and I will answer your(prayer)."(Soorsh Mu'min 40:60)
