Thanks for posting this thread, at least it will give us (we muslims) an idea about non-muslim's concept about islam. I will not advertise for islam, because when someone who says 'islam is the best' non muslims do not understand why it is, they won't believe,, almost every one who believe that there is God(christians, jews etc) they think their religion is correct, However, because I am muslim, & i know islam almost deeply, I know that islam covered other (defecineies?) in other religions,, the most important defeciency that islam covered is that God promised us that Quran won't be changed. Other bibles got changed by people, so, Quran contains pure and direct words from God, while other bibles do not. Now, as I said I won't advertise about islam, however, I want to clearify something about islam, and really i am happy coz i got chance to clearify this thing…hope all members will read the following lines: Not all what you hear or read or see by muslims is true,,because what is true about islam is Quran & Sunna (sunna is to follow the prophet's doings) and some people do not follow Quran & Sunna so their doings do not represent real islam. Unforunately you will encounter some muslims who give bad idea bout islam, who do not follow Quran and Sunna and even some clerics give bad answers which does not follow sunna, in addition, some muslims made up tribes and groupings and almost changed the core of islamic religion and titled their group with names, so that they are muslims but their life, their prayers are different from what the prophet did. For example, you would see some islamic groups (I will not mentio names) beating themselves in some occasions, doing strange things, which gives very bad idea about islam. By the way, the prophet anticipated that this would happen, that muslim will devid into tribes and groups, and said that the right group is the one which follows his doings (Sunna) and Quran. In addition some try to follow Sunna (which involves Hadith (prophet's sayings)) but they would find some strange sayings, and now I should tell you that NOT all Hadith is true,, some hadiths are weak (which means that may be this hadith is not true and was made by some people!) and some other hadiths are false (which means it is definitely not true) and so on…soo,, do not believe everything,, by the way, some people may convert from islam to another religion because they do not know real islam, they know false information because of that, so they see islam as an unsatisfactory religion, those didn't follow Sunna,, Now I know some people would ask me how would you know if you are following the right path (sunna) and not going to the wrong bath, I advice you to make sure that you follow good people who follow Sunna,, and if you want to check if hadith is right or weak or false there are some sites that have search engine and gives you the rank of the hadith like www.dorar.net, but i don't know if there are English sites. nforunately many muslims do not check the rank of the Hadith and do many wrong things because of that, which as i said gives bad idea about islam. Now, last thing I would like to say, some verses and orders in Quran may seem strict which might scare non muslims to know more about islam, however, these strict orders turns out with an excellent benefit to the overall community.. I know I went off the topic, but I just wanted to clarify these points, coz it is really painful for me to see how other people have very bad idea about islam because of some muslims doings..my brother used to live in west, before America's Commercial attack, people there respected islam so much, but after the attack, they got very bad idea about islam, and when some old westerns come to ask about islam before they die so that they might embrace islam, he gives them clear and correct answers, they really wonder how wrong they were…and how bad idea they have got about islam.
