Answer 3

The usual english use is 'follower of Islam' (the religion). To a Muslim it either means or they want you to think Islam means 'peace' but to others it means 'submission'. I'm one of the 'submission' people and I'll go one step further and ask you to actually go to SkepticsAnnotatedQur'an on the web and study the Qur'an yourself so you can see how vile and poisonous it is. Or do your own research anywhere you like. Just try not to stop at Muslim representations. Actually look into what they actually DO world wide. Here are some tag words to get you started: Child bride, honor killing, terrorism, apostasy, Theo Van Gogh, MemriTV.

Answer 4

Means "DOING GOD's WILL" in arabic, the ten commandments from the Torah are in the KORAN, and Islam today holds the belief that Mohamed was the one Jesus predicted would finish the prophesies (temple and Kaaba) that where expected of the Messiah, himself, although Judaic prophesies disagree with any mesiah who performed miracles.

According to the Koran, Abraham laid the foundation of monotheism, he preferred to worship the lord of all worlds, who created the sun and moon rather then worshiping the objects, and when he was persecuted by his father's tribe for smashing there idols instead of admitting he did it he asked them to ask the statue, knowing that it would not talk he proved Gods and God are not the same.

As i understand, according to the Koran,  if your jewish, christian or even a magician, as long as you do God's will your muslim.

[22.17] Surely those who believe and those who are Jews and the Sabeans and the Christians and the Magians and those who associate (others with Allah)-- surely Allah will decide between them on the day of resurrection; surely Allah is a witness over all things.

Answer 5

haha, yeah if muslims are murders and carry out honor killings then mafia  and n***s also are linked to christians and jews.

Honor killings and things like tribal wars are al over and nothing to do with Islam, judaism or christianity which all teach tolerance.

Its people who do not practice and speak like some of you here that do these crimes, no where in the Koran does it say go kill for God, only referenced to the war waged on the first muslims did the koran say after they break there peace treaty (first one in the world) they shuold be brought to justice, the peace treaties with the first muslims where all 3 months at a time, and those who broke them took advantage of muslims and jews, as well as christians who all lived under the epace of islam., paid there own tax rates, christian paid the most due to alcohol been a norm and its problems.

The truth is that anyone who claims muslims are terrorists are truly as brainwashed as those who live din the dark ages who claimed they where wizards and wrote harry potter books, they tried erasing Islam since Jesus, and when they invaded spain and returned with the booty after killing ARAB jews and christians as well as muslims Europeans got taxed so bad they left for America ( Mohammed BTW never killed anyone else after winning the war waged on muslims in his time), he instead made the first peace treaties and the first amendments and equal rights for woman, actually all from the koran.

You guys are only kidding yourselves to believe Zionist propaganda saying what the media would like you to believe, if you believe this you surely supported BUsh when he lied., One liar deserves another and you all will only loose the best of life been liars.
