Answer 2

1. What do you think of Muslims?

I don't have a good word for them or their religion, but as an Atheist I don't have a good word about any religion.

2. Do you personally know any Muslims?

I used to know some, not now though, not personally.

3. Do you have any Muslim friends?

I used too; don't really bother with them now.

4. Do you think Islam was the cause of 9/11?

Yes, amongst other things.

5. Do you think there could have been any other reasons of why 9/11 happened?

The US foreign policy perhaps, but I think that was accountable for only 10% of the reason why it happened.

6. What do you think about Islam?

Horrible, barbaric faith, should be left in the dark ages.

7. Have you read the Quran?

I have read some parts, but reading mythological, fictional comics for cultists isn't my thing, whether it be the Quran or the Bible.

8. Where have you got your information about Islam from?

Various, I have access to the internet, newspapers, magazines, as well as people who I know through friends and the crap on the TV of course. Though I tend to ignore the Right or Left wing propaganda machines.

9. What religion are you?

I'm an atheist, I do not recognise any religion as being anything but an outdated cult incompatible with modern society.

10. What city and country are you from?

I am in the UK, though I would rather not disclose which area.

11. What do you think about Michael Jackson?

He had some good stuff out in the 80's, a pop icon, now he is a disgraced kiddy-fiddler, looks like a lab experiment gone wrong. Lives in Israel or somewhere now I think? The best place for him really.

Answer 3

I don't personally know any muslims, but unfortunately the incidents over the last few years have made me wary of the religion and its followers. If the shoe was on the other foot, I'm sure muslims would feel exactly the same. Islam is a possible cause for the 9/11 events. I don't think we will ever truly know the reason behind them.
I have never read the quran nor will I ever. I don't expect any muslims to read the holy bible.


I can understand some reasoning behind Islam, but I only know what I learned in school. I think alot of religions, including christianity, need to be up-dated. The bible and the quran were written thousands of years ago, it seems absurd that people can be expected to follow a religion exactly as it was dictated that long ago.
We are an intelligent species and should all stick to being good, honest people and not worry about how someone else likes to worship a God that may or may not exist.
Religion has claimed far too many lives.

Oh, and Michael Jackson is weird.

Answer 6

Ok here are a set of questions that I would like y'all to answer with honesty:

Hello,


1. What do you think of Muslims? -They are people just like anyone else who have lives to live families to raise and bills and taxes to take care of.

2. Do you personally know any Muslims? - Yes, quite a few.

3. Do you have any Muslim friends? -Yes although they are not extremely close or tight knitted,

4, 5 . Do you think Islam was the cause of 9/11? - Not exactly. It was a series of complex economic - political scenarios evolving over the last 40 to 50 years that brought 911 on.
Saying it is Islam is like saying the IRA situation and bombings in Great Britain were due to Roman Catholicism.

6. What do you think about Islam? - It is a big world religion and Allah is the God Of Abraham. People who are born into it are taught from day one that it is the final word and revelation of God and most follow the religion and tow the line just like the Christians do in their religion. I think that much of the book is taken from the Old and New testaments and rehashed and rearranged again but overall the book seems to have reverted back to the old Mosaic laws like an eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth instead of continuing as Christ taught saying if a man wants your shirt give him your coat; if the Romans ask you to carry some equipment a mile do it for 10 miles etc, ie kill your enemies with kindness.

7. Have you read the Quran? - Yes, quickly like a novel but I realize that to know it well it would take many years to a lifetime. I bought the book Koran in the early 90's since I was interested in all major world religions at that time.

8. Where have you got your information about Islam from? - History books, documentaries etc. When I went to school in the 60's - 70's history was a compulsory subject right up to grade XII so we covered the nrise of Islam, the Crusades right up to the Ottoman Empire and the founding of Israel and troubles thereafter,.

9. What religion are you? - Roman Catholic

10. What city and country are you from? - Edmonton, Alberta Canada.

Oh.. and just one off-topic question:

11. What do you think about Michael Jackson?

A good showman and entrepeneur but is lacking in sound judgement at times... After the first accusation on child abuse he should have kept miles away from kids or at least had constant supervision about him when with children after that.
Unfortunately in this day and age, all you need is an allegation with respect to child abuse to sink you forever. So what if you are aquitted in court; there is always that aura of doubt.

Cheers,

Answer 7

Hello Hope,
"Hope" is one of my favorite words! Through HIS WORD Jesus brought "Hope" for each and every one of us...

1. What do you think of Muslims? I am a Christian but I have several friends who are NOT Christian. I believe that those who follow the teachings of Muhammed have the same rightsw and responsibilities as those who do not. I have no animosity or dislike of anyone for their religious/non-religious beliefs.
2. Do you personally know any Muslims? Yes

3. Do you have any Muslim friends? Yes, I have a few Muslim Friends who I highly respect. They are great human beings who I feel believe in Allah as surely as I do in GOD.
4. Do you think Islam was the cause of 9/11? NO, but I do believe that a number of misguided Muslims were the cause of it.
5. Do you think there could have been any other reasons of why 9/11 happened? I sincerely doubt it.
6. What do you think about Islam? I am a firm believer in Jesus Christ. I believe that HE was the Jewish Messiah and I believe that Islam is not our FATHER'S WORD but I do not push those who believe in it to convert unless they are inclined to do so on their own. I will gladly answer questions when asked as you have done.
7. Have you read the Quran? Not in it's entirety. I read, study, and obey the BIBLE daily and I am disabled thus I am barely able to do that the way that I should.
8. Where have you got your information about Islam from? I have done a number of religious studies (at college) in the past and have asked and gained a great deal of information from my friends.
9. What religion are you? I am a Non-Denominational Christian.
10. What city and country are you from? I live in Southwest Ohio in the United States of America.

Oh.. and just one off-topic question:

11. What do you think about Michael Jackson?
I believe that MJ probably has some real problems. I would prefer that he not be around young children until he is able to deal with those problems.

By the way (If I may ask), What are you using all of this information for? Have a wonderful week.
Thanks,
Eds
