1)18
2)
3) Inshallah (God willing) i'd like to think so, but Allah knows est only he can judge, but i do try
4) Lol you should ask this question befoe number 3. Yes i practice Islam, the religion since the time of Prophet Adam Peace Be Upon Him
5) I dunno, wouldn't say i'm too familiar when compared to scholars of islam and some people on this website, but i rekon i'd be able to hold my own with a non-muslim and give suitable knowledge, i'd say 6-7
6) Submission Via Peace To Allah, and The Truth from god
7) No it doesn't teach violence, it teaches peace
8) Core difference = Jesus. We believe he was a muslim, a messenger, sent by God, like he sent Moses David Abraham Muhammed Peace Be Upon Them. Christians elive he was son of god, or god. They believe he died on the cross for our sins, muslims believe he isn't dead, he was raised up will return and will testify to living christians that he never claimed divinity. we believe God didn't need his son to die on a cross to forgive everyone, where God is so great that if he just says Be, everyone is forgiven. As muslims we don't understand the purpose of just beliveing Jesus died on the cross and then just living a normal life without thinking of consequences of our actions because we think we are forgiven because God sacrificed his son 2000 years ago for us
9) Don't know what you're talkin about, Islamic State is the only time in history where muslims christians and jews have lived together in peace. Islamic countries have no problems with Jews or Christians. With the west muslim countries don't like how they keep invading and oppressing muslims in countries like Iraq, Afghanistan, and they don't like how Palestinians are eing treated
10) Answered above i think
11) No, i think it was hate stemming from how America needlessly invaded Iraq without proof and continuously let iraqis die everyday
12) I don't think this question is very good. It's not islamic to do this. I can say Israel have been carrying out terrorism in palestine for years. What do you consider a terrorist? someone who kills innocent people. Then i can quite easily say Geoge Bush is the biggest terrorist in the world and not Osama Bin Ladin. So many terrosit activities are carried out y so called islamic roups aswel as non-muslim roups, also IRA
13) If moe muslims were to move to my community alhumdulillah (All praise to God), why would i feel any danger, i'd probably feel safer. I think it's an unfair question, you're implying muslims are dangerous when we are not
14) Yes of course they would e accepted. Most civilised people wouldn't even think about these kind of questions, so they wouldn't mind people moving in at all, as most people are open minded and logical
If any probs wit my answers let me know
