Not being a Jew but a follower of Islam i would ask how many Muslims know what Islam is about

I know about Islam. I have taken classes on Islam,know people of the Muslim faith, and have done my own search to learn about Islam. I know that the Koran teaches some things that are similiar to Judaism, I know about fasting during Ramadan during the sunrise, I know that Muslims(most) eat Halal meats, and prayer is 5x a day facing Mecca. Friday is the day for Masjid. The Koran is in Arabic, but I have a version in Urdu as well. Muslim people believe Muhammad is Allah's prophet that was sent to teach about Islam and love.

Now with all of that being said, I am angry at people who dislike Israel and call for its destruction, I have found that although there is a peace treaty between Egypt and Israel , many Egyptians still don't like Israel. It is quite bothersome as Israel gave up the Sinai to make peace with its Arab neighbor. It seems like the Muslims say they want peace and get what they want out of Israel, then they start attacking Israel with rockets, terror, and suicide bombers. I know that most Muslims are probably peaceful, but so are the Jews. We are all fighting to defend our causes, but we should learn about eachother and work together.

partypooper spit your hate alone.

i know that it's actually driven from judaisem , so we sharing allot of same concept's.

like fasting , the rest day , no pig , really similar holyday's with different dress.

i am also a muslim, and think that people (jews included) should learn about islam. however, i think that it should work both ways: muslims should learn about other faiths too. there are ignorant people on both sides of the fence, if you see what i'm saying...

I know some, but I'm certainly no expert.

I know what Muslims believe and I am Jewish - I have read the Koran too.

Good Luck!!!

I will learn Islam to enrich my knowledge by:
- Buying a copy of Koran and read it by myself
- Buying a DVD set about Islam from a neutral vendor in the internet
- Looking for any available information about Islam from a neutral source in the internet

Neutral is non-sectarian, in this context.

The three steps I mention above are important for me to learn further about Islam from unbiased sources.

Now you may find this hard to believe, but in fact I have always found the Islamic faith intriguing. Not least because there are many similarities between Judaism and Islam. But I always end up being reminded - usually by posts on this site - that many Muslims despise Israel and won't even accept our right to have a Jewish state in the middle east.

I mean, really, does it seem reasonable to you: Israel takes up a mere 0.01 per cent of the middle east, such a tiny area, and yet you begrudge us even that. Fair?

"Say: we believe in God and in what has been revealed to us, and what was revealed to Abraham, Isma'il: Isaac, Jacob and The Tribes, and in (the Books) given to Moses, Jesus and the Prophets, from their Lord: We make no distinction between one and another, among them, and to God do we bow our will (in Islam)." (Qur'an, Al-Imran 3:84)

1,385 years (how long Islam has been around) of genocide against us has taught me what Muslims believe in, thanks.

BirdHerd

None. If they did actually know, they would become Muslims!

Whoo!

I know alot about Islam from school and such. But I don't care about Islam or the Muslim people because all they care about is hatred and killing us, Jews.

Sameh

man would you drop it?

this is a questions and answers site. you ask a question targeted at a certain sect or religion (in this section), and people of that sect/ religion will give you an answer.

the way you phrased it will simply get loads of non-Jews/non- muslims answering the question just insulting and racially profiling Judaism and Islam.

I cant stop you from doing anything, but i just want to tell you to keep this a clean forum, with no hate or anything. you aren't the only one, but you are the only one i know of personally.

Now please tell me... what's the concept and point of this question? Does it and can it potentially have a straight answer?

This isnt a place for discussions, it's a place where you ask a question, and you get a straight answer.

I dont speak from experience, I just speak from my personal knowledge. My knowledge is not for you to accept or follow, but simply listen to it, even if you will forget it.

You can report this 'answer', it doesn't really bother me.

Shame

EDIT: Yay, i got a thumbs down... i'm guessing it's courtesy of mikail brown (spelling?). anyway. i just noticed its in the travel section. however much you think ALL Israelis care about this subject, this question belongs in the religion section... where, believe it or not, everyone DOES care about this subject.

Islam is just a rip off of Judaism and the Qur'an is heavily plagirized with quotes from the Gemara as are many many hadith

Pinky

We dont care what Jews think of us or what we believe in!!

Edit:I knew there was going to be an answer like Moneymaker just answered,u see why i said we dont CARE what they think about us?

And thats what Moneymaker "Thinks" about Islam not "Know" about them!

Look, this is what I see:

I see that in the name of Islam people are beheaded

I see that in the name of Islam airplanes are being hijacked

I see that in the name of Islam teenage morons explode in crowds of women and children

I see that in the name of Islam people tare other people apart with their bare hands

I see that in the name of Islam people execute other people on the streets

I see that in the name of Islam bloody hands are being proudly displayed after a brutal murder of the innocent

I see that in the name of Islam people celebrate death

I see that in the name of Islam hatred is taught

That is what I see, and that is ALL I need to know.
