A lot of people think Muslims are terriost. Not all Muslim hate Americans and want to blow up buildings and people. Most Americans don't understand that Muslim religion is well known in Africa , Asia and the Middle East. There is over 1 billion people that worship Allah known as God in the Muslim religion. The Majority of Muslims come from Africa, Middle East and India. There are two groups of Muslims, one being the Sunni and the other being Shia Sunni is the largeest denomination followed by the Shia. The majority of Sunni Muslims come from Indonesia, Lower Egypt, Somalia, Jordan, Lebannon, Syria, Sri Lanka and Palestine. The Shia believed that the Prohet Muhammad relatives should have ruled Islam. through the blood line. After the death of Muhammad the country of Islam was torn in two.
The Shia wanted Ali Muhammad (cousin and son in law of the Prophet Muhammand) to take over Isam.
The Sunni Mulism wasn't going to be governed by Ali Mu hammad. They wanted a differnt ruler. They decided to have Abu Bakr to lead the Sunni Muslims. Both groups are fighting over who's beliefs are similar to the Prophet Muhammad.
In the Muslim culture the Prophet Muhammad is the annoited one just like Jesus Christ is to Christian and the Jews. This is why you see alot of Muslim men are named Ali or Muhammad. It is a honor to name you son after the Prophet Muhammad or Ali Muhammad. This is similar to the Christian standard of naming your son Daivd,Phillip, Peter, Paul etc. The Sunni believed in a theology system of schools of the Muslim religion. EX: Similar to Greek scholars or diciples of books of Jesus Christ. Each school's has their own opinion of the Prohet Mahammad and Alla. Shia are angry at the Sunni for not continuning the belief of passing the royal blood line of the Prophet Mahammed. Both have a different religious opinion of the Prohet Muhammad. The Shia believe that Muslims were not suppose to mingle with the Christians and the Jews. They believe if you run across a Christian or a Jew you executed them.
The Shia constantly trying to come up with excuese not to follow the Quran. The Quran is similar to the bible. Most Muslims coed of ethics are similar to the Christians and Jewsish faith.
They don't believe in stealing,murder,adultry etc. The Shia don't believe that murder or stealing is a sin.
The Shia do not like Americans, they are the ones that created the Tailban. The Shia Muslims are the ones that are doing most of the terroist work not the Sunni Muslims. The Shia believes that their belief system is more right over the Sunni Muslims. All the Sunni Muslims want to do is create love and peace.
They are the true believers of the Prohet Muhammed.
Ex: The Muslims believe in the same ethic codes as Christians bible codes.

Read these quotes -
they'll
tell you what
a muslim really
is
"Surely those who believe, and those who are Jews,
and the Christians, and the Sabians -whoever believes
in God and the Last Day and does good, they shall have their reward from their Lord. And there will be no fear for them, nor shall they grieve" (2:62, 5:69,).
"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)." (Surat Al Imran; 3:84).
"...and nearest among them in love to the
believers will you find those who say, 'We
are Christians,' because amongst these are
men devoted to learning and men who have renounced
the world, and they are not arrogant" (5:82).
"O you who believe! Be helpers of God -
as Jesus the son of Mary said to the Disciples,
'Who will be my helpers in (the work of) God?'
Said the disciples, 'We are God's helpers!'
Then a portion of the Children of Israel believed,
and a portion disbelieved.But We gave power to
those who believed, against their enemies, and
they became the ones that prevailed" (61:14).
"We had Jesus, the son of Mary, follow in
their footsteps in order to confirm what had
come before him from the Torah and We gave
him the Gospel which contains guidance and Light,to confirm what he already had in the Old Testament,and as guidance and a lesson for those who do their duty.
Let the people of the Gospel judge by what God has sent down in it; Those who do not judge by what God has sent down are perverse!" The Quran 5:45
DO YOU STILL CALL US INTOLERANT?
TO TERRORISTS WHO CLAIM TO BE MUSLIMS - you're not, the biggest proof is you havent read the quran:
" Call to the way of your Lord with wisdom and fair admonition, and argue with them in the kindest way. your Lord knows best who is misguided from His way.And He knows best who are guided." (Surat an-Nahl; 16:125).
The recompense for an injury
is an injury equal thereto (in degree),
but if a person forgives and makes reconciliation,
his reward is due from God,
for God loves not those who do wrong.
But indeed, if any do help and defend themselves
after a wrong done to them,
against such there is no cause of blame.
The blame is only against those who oppress men
with wrongdoing and insolently transgress
beyond bounds through the land,
defying right and justice.
For such there will be a penalty grievous (in the Hereafter).
But indeed, if any show patience and forgive,
that would truly be an affair of great resolution.
Qur'an 42:40-43
Goodness and evil are not equal.
Repel evil with what is better.
Then that person with whom there was hatred,
may become your intimate friend!
And no one will be granted such goodness
except those who exercise patience and self-restraint,
none but people of the greatest good fortune.
Qur'an 41:34-35
"It may be that God will grant love (and friendship) between you and those whom ye (now) hold as enemies. For God has power (over all things), and God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
God does not forbid you, with regard to those who fight you not for (your) faith nor drive you out of your homes, from dealing kindly and justly with them: for God loves those who are just."

They're followers of Islam and Their Prophet Mohammad Rasululah (SAW). They don't hate other religions. They don't force people to submit to Islam instead they HELP people convert to Islam ONLY if THEY (the person who wants to convert) WANT to convert to Islam. Muslims also help others gain knowledge about their religion aswell. Muslim women are not oppressed .They wear hijabs because in the Qur'an muslim women are told to cover themselves so that they observe their modesty and get identified as a muslim. Because of wearing a hijab women don't have an issue with men staring at their private parts like their butt and breasts and not get objectified and also to prevent men from staring at them because men have a more sexual desire than women.Muslims must believe in all of the Prophets including Prophet Eesa (AS)(also known as Jesus Christ)otherwise they won't be real muslims. We muslims are peaceful because in many muslim countries muslims are living their life according to the Qur'an and the hadiths of Mohammad . Insulting one another is one the things that the Qur'an forbids as it can cause people to lose their friendship or relationship with one or more than one people. It's also stated in the Qur'an that Allah hates those who don't fight for the purpose of self defense or jihad as fighting is forbidden in Islam. It's clearly stated in 2:190 of the Qur'an.There are also many things stated in the Qur'an that tells us what we shouldn't do in order to maintain our relationship.
Assalamualaikum, brother/sister. I'm a muslim
