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.
Firmbeliever, you may not receive a lot of answers immediately. Wrong as it may be, after 9/11 many Americans (non-Muslim or Islamic) may have generalized a lot of things in their minds and possibly feel resentment.
Stringer,
That is the very reason I put up this thread,because there are many more muslims around the world who do not wish innocents to die especially when these acts are committed in the name of Islam.
And I wished to clarify as much as I can what Islam is really about and that what the media talks about is only a fraction of muslims (and some do not even follow the correct Islamic principles in the first place).
NK,
About the internet filter thing, we too used to have certain sites blocked, but not because of unislamic content but because of the political opposition.
If you look at some non Islamic countries, I have read about a site being banned because their king was portrayed in some manner that they did not think was appropriate..?!
My Nephew is now krishna. Is this somewhat like Islam?
Do you believe that we reincarnate and even into animals?
Do you believe that it is a sin to eat any meat?

I think we are not similar at all.
Krishna(is actually one of the Gods of Hinduism) and Hindu's believe in many Gods and Goddesses and reincarnation of the Gods among humans.
Muslims believe in only One Almighty,omnipotent God and no incarnations of God whatsoever.We also do not believe in the Almighty having sons or daughters.
About life after death,
we believe that our souls do not die, but all will be resurrected on the Day of Judgement and each will be given his/her due according to their deeds in this world.
We do not believe that our souls or the dead come back into this world we live in,but exist in another place until we are resurrected for judgement.
We do not believe in humans being reborn into this world as animals or otherwise.
We eat meat except for pork(which is prohibited for muslims)
and we also do not eat animals killed in the name of other Gods and Goddesses except Allah.
hey
honestly i m living now in an enviroment that includes muslments and christians. I m in a country called Lebanon presisly.( some ppl say it's a arabic country but i duno know abt that really) anyways, i deal with muslims all the time. They have diffrent ideas, traditions, way of life... but here muslims and christians are acctually living together and if it werent for the politics no boday would have ever askd about the other person's religionand we would have all lived in peace!!
in this country we believe that everyone has the right to believe everything they would ever want! it's normal to search about religions but it's diffrent when ur dealing with them.
Alot of christians wouldn't feel comftorble talkin or wtv with a muslim cz they dn't really know what to tell them or just the way to express what they want. But believe me muslims face the same problems: they also duno what to tell u! they wouldn't want to hurt u or pick a fight with u since they duno u!
about the muslims religion, well it's much diffrent from the Christian but they both believe in God and practice but the thing is that they are more attached to they'r religion than the christians ( don't take it wrong o.k?) i really duno y they r that attched, actually i m still tryin to know y!
if u think that the muslim religion is good well i dnt desagree but u should read more about it b4 really saying that cz i don't think u know all about it. neither do i but whatevr... i hope i helped u in some way to imagine living in a world with 2 diffrent religions struggling for power
Since krishna was mentioned I was in a store the other day and there was a young man. He was looking through books beside of me. He kept chanting something. I was not sure what, but krishna was one of the words that he kept saying over and over. Is this something that these members do. lol I did not know if I should be frightened and move or just continue to try and look trhough the books. Also he was a little loud about it an said the chant very fast.

Salaam Leila,
Thank you for sharing your experience.
I am a muslim, so I know the muslim side,but its nice to hear from a Lebanese especially since many hear only what is said on the media about Lebanon.
Since krishna was mentioned I was in a store the other day and there was a young man. He was looking through books beside of me. He kept chanting something. I was not sure what, but krishna was one of the words that he kept saying over and over.

I think he might be saying "Haarey Ram, Haarey Krishna"(that is not the right spelling but it makes it easier to pronounce.
I think that is like saying "Hail" God as Ram and Krishna are both Gods of Hinduism and he must be sort of meditating on the names.
oh, I thought it was harry, I feel so silly I thought it was a cult, like that jones man and he was worshipping a real live human person. I was feeling really sorry for this young man.

I think that Ram and Krishna are believed to have been in this world as human incarnations by Hindu followers.
So you are not far off in thinking they worship a human.
carbonite agrees: True, but this also happens in some areas when Christians run things
I can't think of one to be honest. But christians or muslims shouldn't be 'running things'. The governing of a nation should not involve religion. That way I can vote for the political party/candidate of my choice I like and my neighbour and I are free to practice different religions.
