I am a Muslim and I am aware of the crisis that is going around in Muslim nations. Any questions or thoughts on Islam please feel more then free to let me know, even if it's something that you think I'd consider offensive, I'd like your opinion.

Well, I do not blame anyone who considers Muslims terrorists at today's society. Muslims are very ignorant people and they do not follow religion properly, they think that suiciding yourself and killing innocent people will bring them to heaven, however, in Islam one of the most important things is to increase Ilm which is what we call scientific and mathematical knowledge.

I hate bias people, I try to be a good Muslim, however i do detest Muslims who believe all American's are like George Bush, some of the most kind hearted people that i met were American and they were atheist.

Why is it that Mohammed cannot be drawn? Is it to avoid the idolizing of the prophet? If so, this is smart, because lately all the ultra-conservitive Christians have made Jesus out to be the main focus of the religion. Which is false.

Precisely. The belief is that one should not worship Idols or encourage Idol worship, but should worship God and encourage worship of God.

Yep, you are totally correct, it is to avoid the idolization of the prophet. Not just the prophet of Islam but as well as any other prophet sent by God.

Do you mean that i consider Islam more correct then other religions? If so then yes, I do believe that Islam is the right religion, however as a Muslim a non Muslim has more rights then I do in which I must show absolute respect too. Too bad you don't see that happening in today's world.

You can't be religious without thinking your religion is superior.

oh btw, the reason I love Team America is because it is a parody on almost everything, parody on Kim Jong Il, America (and policing the world.), and simply showing 'hey look America, everyone thinks Arabs run around saying derka derka jihad!'

I admire south parks creators because they have enough guts to make a joke without having to worry about politically correct idiots honking about.

Very good point, that could turn very stupid very fast.

I already know quite a bit about islam anyway, I know a lot of muslim people, so no questions at the moment, well, un-answered questions that is, one thing I like about the 'don't draw the prophet' thing, is that, with Christianity, everyone is arguing if Jesus was black/white/norwegian/etc., and with Islam, it never crosses anyones mind.

I just want to ask if it's really okay to consummate with a 9-year-old girl as Muhammed did with Aisha bint Abi Bakr? Even though her wedding did not take place for several years after, it's clear that the relationship was consummated at the age of nine or ten as recorded by Tabari.

Sorry for taking so long to reply to your question, i was away on vacation, however i shall answer your question. Aisha had completely gone through her menstrual cycle at the age of 9, ( let me refer to you that in England the average age is 18, in France it's 17, in holland it's 12) so these are just arbitrary numbers thrown around, so her body was not at the age of a 9 year old but rather around 20 year old girl who has fully developed her body. Not just physically but her sharpness at the age of 9 was crystal claer, she was profound of remembering many hadith's and teaching them to the general women in public. Yes prophet married her for the spreading of Islam and also that he loved her, however it is wrong to misconcept the image of a 9 year old girl with a 54 year old man, when in reality the 9 year old girl is someone who is to be considered a woman physically and mentally, it could be said that Aisha's memory and her sharpness has not been found in anywomen who might have stepped on to this earth.

Believing in the oness of God, that all of the messengers sent upon us are prophets who are not to be worshipped. Commiting yourself to doing the greater good not for yourself but for the society. Daily prayers, staying away from sins(just as any religion proposes)

As I know he forbid any drawings or statues which shows him because in the future people could change their way and worship those statues,picture rather than god.....though he didn't say create chaos in the world when they draw me...

It's really simple, sunnis are people who love all of the sahaba( people who are loved by the prophet, some of them are close relatives, and mostly people who have been given the praise of entering heaven before their deaths), however shiites desregard some of these people, especially the great ones such as Abu Bakr and Omar. Well that's just a quick little brief summary of what the whole thing is about.

Oh and a question from me.
How do you feel about religions other then yours?
I mean, I for one am a Christian but I do have respect for Islam and all others.

Nice thread by the way.
