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

I am not mainly interested in Terrorism...those are not the questions I am asking...my teacher is. I am sorry if I offended you and your beliefs. I respect Islam probably more than any other religion ever since I joined this group. I actually like to talking to everyone and understanding their views.

 

[Jeness18]

Thank you thank you thank you! Your answers are what I was looking for...and I'm sry about the questions if they bothered you in anyway...they are in the words of my teacher and not mine...I should have revised the wording a bit...I can see how bad some of those questions sound...thank you again talk to you again soon i hope!

 

[akulion]

1. What is your age?*

I am 29

2. What is your political party affiliation? *

None - I only support Khilifat rule (Islamic Ruling system)

3. Are you a practicing Muslim?*

Yes, Alhamdolillah

4. Do you practice a religion? If so what religion is it?*

Islam is my way of life

5. How familiar are you with Islam on a scale from 1-10(10 is an expert)?

I know everything that I need to know(essentials), but lack knowledge of in-depth fiqh (Islamic Law) rulings and stuff like that which is really deep. I am pretty well versed and read but I cannot grade myself because Islam is a "way of life" and incorporates ALL aspects of life, so there is no limit to gaining knowledge in Islam.

6. What is the first word that comes to your mind when you hear the word "Islam"?

Allah

7. Do you feel that Islam preaches violence?

Not at all, Islam teaches humanity civility and kindness

8. What do you feel the core differences are between Islam and Christianity?

The difference in the beliefs as to God

9. Why do you think there has been hatred of the West along with Christianity and Judaism in much of the Islamic world?

It is not hatered of the 'people' but rather of their actions. The west in general tries to impose its way of life and standards on to Muslims. Tells Muslims to be secular and also intervenes in the affairs of Muslims all the time. In general western governments look down upon the Muslim and consider themselves superior. It is these actions and attitude of agression that most Muslims dislike, I believe. But I doubt in majority Muslims hate the People of the west because they are another religion or way of life.

10. What do you feel is the cause for this hatred?

I already stated that above

11. Do you feel that Islam's core beliefs were responsible for the terrorist attacks?

Not in the least. Infact I do not believe Muslims are responsible for 9-11 at all.

12. Why do you feel that many terrorist activities are carried out by Islamic groups?

Terrorism is something which has been pinned on to Islamic groups. However most Islamic groups are fighting for freedom to live their way of life in Peace. but with the west intervening all the time there are conflicts. What the west may define as "terrorism" may be definied as a "struggle for freedom" by others. All that being said, Islam does not support the killing of women and Children or bombings of civilian targets or attacks on them.

13. Do you feel as if more Muslims were to move to your community, it would be less safe? Would you feel the same as you do now?

I am a Muslim and I already live in a Muslim community and I feel perfectly safe.

14. Do you feel as if more Muslims were to move to your community they would be accepted in the community?

With the exception of the racist elements in society, I believe that people in general accept each other. Unless ofcourse a person tries to be a 'pain in the neck' of everybody else. So yes I believe that Muslims would be accepted in any society easily as long as it is not biased
