I'm sure after 911 it's more popular than ever. Gurudev 12-13-2001, 11:43 PM Islam is a religion. I think if you read quoran or quran (I don't know their holy book like bible to christians) and you can get more information there. spider 12-13-2001, 11:54 PM Originally posted by prosayist how long should I cook a turkey? Someone is asking a question politely. If you do not want to answer it, then please don't post anything that is not-related. :rolleyes: By the way Qabteen, as Gurudev mentioned, Islam is a religion. The followers of this religion are called Moslems. You can do search on Google.com, I believe you will find information you are looking for. :) cyansmoker 12-13-2001, 11:56 PM Originally posted by Skeptical Just do a search on google.com.

Extremist Islamic believers were responsible for the attacks. And please note that I didn't say Islam the religion was responsible for the attacks, so please don't misunderstand my words. prosayist 12-14-2001, 12:50 AM :rolleyes: sorry'bout that.. guess I should've asked on a related forum. http://www.zen-forum.com http://atheism.about.com/library/islam/blfaq_islam_index.htm cyansmoker 12-14-2001, 02:10 AM Originally posted by Skeptical Of course this topic is more popular than ever after the events of 911.

Actually, I hope you realize I wasn't refering to you as "sick and/or gullible minds"; I was talking about Bin Laden followers who apparently mistook Islam for what it's not. prosayist 12-14-2001, 02:58 AM http://www.islam.com/ http://hgic.clemson.edu/factsheets/HGIC3560.htm http://www.discoverislam.com/25.html http://home.swipnet.se/islam/english.htm qabteen 12-14-2001, 06:39 PM prosayist .. ooh:) thank you for the links .. **** Skeptical ..

Read that from Islam site.. Islam forbids the attack on innocent civilians.. * If anyone slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people * Help ye one another in righteousness and piety, but help ye not one another in sin and rancour: fear Allah: for Allah is strict in punishment follower..>> qabteen 12-14-2001, 06:42 PM ************* Origin of Islam ************* The name of this religion, Islam, is derived from the word "salam," which means peace. A Muslim is a follower of Islam. "Muslim" is an Arabic word that refers to a person who submits themselves to the will of God. Many Muslims feel that the phrases "Islamic terrorist" or "Muslim terrorist," which have been observed so often in the media, are oxymorons. Most religious historians view Islam as having been founded in 622 CE by Muhammad the Prophet (peace be upon him).* He lived from about 570 to 632 CE). The religion started in Mecca, when the angel Jibreel (Gabriel) read the first revelation to Muhammad (pbuh). (Mohammed and Muhammed (pbuh) are alternate spellings for his name.) Islam is seen as the youngest of the world's great religions. * Muslims traditionally acknowledge respect for Muhammad, Jesus and other prophets (peace be upon them) by adding this phrase or an abbreviation "(pbuh)" after their names. However, many if not most of the followers of Islam believe that: Islam existed before Muhammad (pbuh) was born, The origins of Islam date back to the creation of the world, and Muhammad (pbuh) was the last of a series of Prophets. Followers of Islam are called Muslims. "Allah" is an Arabic word which means "the One True God." An alternate spelling for "Muslim" that is occasionally used is "Moslim"; it is not recommended because it is often pronounced "mawzlem": which sounds like an Arabic word for "oppressor". Some Western writers in the past have referred to Islam as "Mohammedism"; this is deeply offensive to many Muslims, as its usage can lead some to the concept that Muhammad the Prophet (pbuh) was in some way divine. *********************** About Muhammad (pbuh) : *********************** Many unusual events have been recorded about Muhammad's (pbuh) birth and childhood: His mother said "When he was born, there was a light that issued out of my pudendum and lit the places of Syria." Also at the time of his birth, "...fourteen galleries of Kisra's palace cracked and rolled down, the Magians' sacred fire died down and some churches on Lake Sawa sank down and collapsed." His foster family had many experiences of amazingly good luck while he was in their care. As a young child, the angel Jibreel visited the boy, ripped his chest open, removed his heart, extracted a blood clot from it, and returned him to normalcy. 2 While still young, he was sent into the desert to be raised by a foster family. This was a common practice at the time. He was orphaned at the age of 6 and brought up by his uncle. As a child, he worked as a shepherd. He was taken on a caravan to Syria by his uncle at the age of 9 (or perhaps 12). Later, as a youth, he was employed as a camel driver on the trade routes between Syria and Arabia. Muhammad (pbuh) later managed caravans on behalf of merchants. He met people of different religious beliefs on his travels, and was able to observe and learn about Judaism, Christianity and the indigenous Pagan religions. After marriage, he was able to spend more time in meditation. At the age of 40, (610 CE), he was visited in Mecca by the angel Gabriel. He developed the conviction that he had been ordained a Prophet and given the task of converting his countrymen from their pagan, polytheistic beliefs and what he regarded as moral decadence, idolatry, hedonism and materialism. He met considerable opposition to his teachings. In 622 CE he moved north to Medina due to increasing persecution. The trek is known as the hegira . Here he was disappointed by the rejection of his message by the Jews. Through religious discussion, persuasion, military activity and political negotiation, Muhammad (pbuh) became the most powerful leader in Arabia, and Islam was firmly established throughout the area. |
