What is your Faith/Belief/Religion:Poll

**Sarada** · 07-09-2009

I am curious as to how many Muslims, Christians, Jews, Hindus, Agnostics, Atheists and Others are on Load Islam.

You don't have to identify yourself in the poll, however, if you so choose, you could add the reason why you participate in this forum.

**Sarada** · 07-09-2009

I am interested in knowing how many people of different beliefs are on this forum.

The names of people responding to the poll will not be published, unless you choose to make a comment.

I am also interested in the main reason that people participate in this forum, so, it would be nice to have that feedback as well.

Thank-you.

Sarada

I came to this forum for 2 reasons, one, to try to understand Islam, and two to promote a better understanding and acceptance amongst people of all faiths.

The reason for participating is to promote the true Islamic image as opposed to what people see in the media, read in the news papers and learn from all other non-muslims/unislamic sources about this widely misunderstood system of life.

My reasons for being in this forum are very similar to yours, Sarada.

But I have been told on occasions (and I need to remind myself frequently) that this is not an interfaith forum, and that therefore it can sometimes seem like interfaith activities/conversations are not very much supported or even actively discouraged.

If Islam is true, then all contradicting teachings or views are false. It's quite simple ...

Over the years we have had people from several other religions, but many didn't stay.
Personally, I very much enjoyed learning more about Judaism, but again our Jewish members left.

Just realised that there is a double thread running for this thread/poll.
Can mods merge the two?

I am a Muslim, came to be amongst Muslims from all over the globe, after having been on various other forums, I decided to come home.. I like to think of this forum as a sanctuary and a place to learn about Islam from various aspects.. arts, culture, science, jurisprudence, historical lives of prophets and companions, creative writing, kinship with sisters, news on and about the Muslim world and to share Ramadan and other religious events with Muslims..

**north_malaysian** · 07-10-2009

I am a Muslim and would be forever a Muslim!! Even if the whole Muslim ummah decide to leave Islam.. I would stand alone calling myself a Muslim!

Reasons why I love LI Islamic Forum:

1) I want to learn about Islam
2) I want to learn about Muslims abroad
3) I want to share my culture to the Muslims abroad
4) I love the Ramadan month celebrated by all Muslims in this forum
5) I've met lots of great people on this forum

I'm an 'other' I suppose, as a Buddhist! I came here more to get a better understanding of muslims than Islam itself, I suppose and just never left. There are some very interesting people here, knowledgeable about all sorts of things. There are few idiots as well, but even they are a 'learning experience' in their way.

**Azy** · 07-10-2009

Agnostic. I suppose I came here because I like arguing.

**abu_musab461** · 07-10-2009

Benefit from the knowledge and discussions that happen on the forum.

To share the little knowledge i have about jinn, magic, evil eye, magicians etc... to wipe away illusions and misconceptions about the supernatural world and also help people understand the ruqya that is pure and free from shirk, kufr and haram- which is so wide spread in the UK.

People who have to correct aqeedah do sermons and lectures reminding us to avoid shirk and kufr but so many people find them selves afflicted with black magic or jinn and have no real alternative solutions than to go to magicians, sooth sayers, and other charlatans.

So to raise awareness about Ruqya Shariya.

Sorry, Trumble, I should have added a separate line for Buddhist. You are certainly a fixture and a voice of reason on this forum.

**ardianto** · 07-10-2009

Muslim.

I was born in a Muslim family, but about 30% of my mummy's big family members are Christians. Alhamdulillah, there is no problem with this religion difference.

My reason to join in LI ?. I want to meet my brothers and my sisters from many places in the world.

**Ansariyah** · 07-10-2009

I am a Muslim Alhamdulilah. I am here to learn, share, help..Just be amongst my Ummah.

**Charzhino** · 07-11-2009

Other - Sikh. Much like everyone else I am here to learn more about other faiths, mainly Islam.

**Gator** · 07-11-2009

I'm here to learn about Islam, the differnet perspectives of muslims and debate. Thanks.

**Woodrow** · 07-11-2009

I came here when I was still a new revert for the purpose of learning more. I stayed and now am here because I desire to shed some light as to what I find Islam to be and dispel some of the misconceptions.
