Islam is not a religion that promotes violence. It promotes peace, not hate. It is rude to categorize an entire religion based of the actions of a minority. In the same way that is rude to stereotype people based of looks, it is rude to stereotype based of religion.

1. A religion that pray to the allah (note that their allah is a moon god that muhammad took as he please from pagan religion ; thus is completely different from Christian God (YHWH)).
2. A religion whose prophet was a mass murderer (that was not an act of self defense, rather mohammad himself who made a war with innocent people back then , so don't give me a crap about his action was justified), fucking 6 years old kid (Aisyah), practice polygamy, tell his follower to kill Christian and Jew so when they died , they got 72 virgins in the heaven.
3. A religion that slowly crushing a western civilization from inside.
useful idiot 1: hey, not all islam follower is like that ; only terrorist who do that
muslim moderate: yea, the terrorist is the one who made shame of islam teaching
Me: wrong you fucktards. You got it completely backward logic. They are the one who actually follow mohammad teaching. The good people in islam is actually the one who didn't follow islam , or didn't know anything about it, only knows how to pray 5x times a day like an idiot.
Also , you muslim moderate : you are actually worse than moslem radical because you are like a time bomb that can blew up anytime , and you also act like nothing happened / turned a blind eye when moslem radical beheading non-moslem's head.

A religion that is in desperate need of a Renaissance or Age of Enlightenment. Islam is a religion that shares the same beliefs and core foundations of Judaism and Christianity, but affirms that Muhammad is the final Prophet of God. Muslims are not bad people, but Islam never had a renaissance (similar to the Protestant Reformation in Christianity) and Muslims need to rethink about the way they deal with the rest of Humanity. Muslims are overall nice and kind people and many muslims are now changing the way they approach Islam. Many muslims (myself included) realize that all religions are personal faiths and that ISLAM NEEDS TO BE TREATED AS A PERSONAL FAITH AND NOT A POLITICAL DOCTRINE. Peace at home and Peace in the world!
We are secular Muslims, and secular persons of Muslim societies. We are believers, doubters, and unbelievers, brought together by a great struggle, not between the West and Islam, but between the free and the unfree.
We affirm the inviolable freedom of the individual conscience. We believe in the equality of all human persons.
We insist upon the separation of religion from state and the observance of universal human rights.
We find traditions of liberty, rationality, and tolerance in the rich histories of pre-Islamic and Islamic societies. These values do not belong to the West or the East; they are the common moral heritage of humankind.
We see no colonialism, racism, or so-called βIslamaphobiaβ in submitting Islamic practices to criticism or condemnation when they violate human reason or rights.
We call on the governments of the world to
reject Sharia law, fatwa courts, clerical rule, and state-sanctioned religion in all their forms; oppose all penalties for blasphemy and apostacy, in accordance with Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human rights;
eliminate practices, such as female circumcision, honor killing, forced veiling, and forced marriage, that further the oppression of women; protect sexual and gender minorities from persecution and violence;
reform sectarian education that teaches intolerance and bigotry towards non-Muslims;
and foster an open public sphere in which all matters may be discussed without coercion or intimidation.
A woman should be free to dress modestly as she please, to wear a headscarf if she chooses. She should not be forced to veil against her own free will.
We demand the release of Islam from its captivity to the totalitarian ambitions of power-hungry men and the rigid strictures of orthodoxy.
We enjoin academics and thinkers everywhere to embark on a fearless examination of the origins and sources of Islam, and to promulgate the ideals of free scientific and spiritual inquiry through cross-cultural translation, publishing, and the mass media.
We say to Muslim believers: there is a noble future for Islam as a personal faith, not a political doctrine;
to Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, Bahaβis, and all members of non-Muslim faith communities: we stand with you as free and equal citizens;
and to nonbelievers: we defend your unqualified liberty to question and dissent.
Before any of us is a member of the Umma, the Body of Christ, or the Chosen People, we are all members of the community of conscience, the people who must chose for themselves.

the last religion from God to humankind
God sent many prophets since the begining of humanity to remind them of their true purpose which is to worship God & make earth a wonderful place to live
people kept on forgetting their teachings & editing their holy books that's why God sends a new prophet
when Isa (Jesus) peace be upon him was sent to the Jews they were supposed to convert to christianity because it's the most true religion by that time
after 6 centuries of editing the bible and changing in the true Christianity God sent his last prophet Muhammad with Islam
that's why we (the muslims) wish that all people become muslims cause it's the last religion and the only one not changed
we are not saying that Christianity is wrong
but Christianity today is totally different from what it was
we respect Jesus & his mother a lot but as humans
if a God has a son how can we say he's a God ??
a true God is the most powerfull and need no son or anything that make him resemble his creatures
that's our belief
but Islam never forced anyone to convert to it " NEVER"
please read about a topic from reliable sources before talking about it
Christianity had a violent history during crusades
can we say that your religion taught you that? ofcourse not !
you just can't judge all people or an entire belief based on some examples
by the way I don't & never met anyone who thinks that our purpose is to kill Americans !
that's so stupid !
reading about Islam will change many of your misunderstandings

Islam. One word represents it. Worship. We worship the all powerful Allah. We favor peace. Islam is also about showing peace, respect to everyone, even though that are not followers. It's our duty to make the world a better place, to distinguish right from wrong, to make an example, and above all, show love and being a slave to Allah. We give to those in need. We have rituals and routines. We are not terrorists.
peace worship humanity love dignity respect purity help cure islam hajj
