What do you think of ISLAM?


What is Islam?: The name of the religion is Islam, which comes from an Arabic root word meaning "peace" and "submission." Islam teaches that one can only find peace in one's life by submitting to Almighty God (Allah) in heart, soul and deed. The same Arabic root word gives us "Salaam alaykum," ("Peace be with you"), the universal Muslim greeting.

The basic beliefs of Muslims fall into six main categories, which are known as the "Articles of Faith":

 

Faith in the unity of GodFaith in angelsFaith in prophetsFaith in books of revelationFaith in an afterlifeFaith in destiny/divine decree                                                                While often seen as a radical or extreme religion, Muslims consider Islam to be the middle road. Muslims do not live life with complete disregard for God or religious matters, but nor do they neglect the world to devote themselves solely to worship and prayer. Muslims strike a balance by fulfilling the obligations of and enjoying this life, while always mindful of their duties to Allah and to others.

I don't think its religion of war, and terrorism. I don't know how to interpret "holy war". It's simply religion, religion of big percent people. Normal people, not terrorists, or saints. I can't accept it, it's not my religion, but I can respect it. That's all :)
