Islam as viewed by others.

98 Answers As I am a firm believer in Islam, I would like to hear what others see in muslims and Islam. Or if they have any misconception about Islam, I would like to hear about them. If you know muslims personally what have you seen in them and what has changed in your view after meeting them and knowing them. I hope to hear your views on this... Thank you all  |

| Honestly I really don't know much about the Islamic religion. I work with a few who are Islamic but I don't see much difference in how they live or who they are than people of any other religion. I agree with Marily, I don't think there is a right or wrong religion. The fact that you have a religion at all that is based on peace and being a better person is good enough. | ||||

I sat in a Baptist church as a teen and listened to a preacher say all Catholics are going to hell because they worship the virgin Marry. People read something in a book written by someone of a different faith ( or no faith at all) and just assume it must be right. My father was Catholic and if this preacher had his facts right and just talked to someone who actually practiced the religion he would have found that they pray through her rather than to her. As I said before, I don't know much of anything about the Islam religion but I am sure being that you practice the religion you would know more than someone who read a few books. I hate when people do that! | ||||

This does not mean I know all there is to know about my religion. I practice to the best of my ability and leave the rest to the Almighty, He being the Most Just will judge me on my deeds good /bad. I am still learning and I am sure that all through my lifetime until death I will be learning. I do have access to Islamic resources and I could recommend good information links,but that does not neccessarily mean that I would know all that is there to know or enough to argue with someone who comes up with any arguements regarding Islam. I try to help those who wish to know/understand Islam a little better than what the media protrays or what a few muslims do negatively which catches media attention. | ||||

| Stonewilder, I understood you meant someone, I did not want to name names nor did I want to profess to know a lot either. There are some who may have a lot of knowledge but only with understanding will it serve any purpose. I understand from the knowledge/experience you have and understanding it, that you have come to your own conclusions. | ||||
