what are your opinion about islam?

IT IS A subtle pronlem. every country and nation have their have their own ideology and belief. we can not use our own to weigh whether it right or wrong. we have no right to intervene their life.

Islam is one of the major religions of the world. It is not as ancient as Hinduism, as progressive as Christianity or pacifist as Buddhism. It is based on the writings contained in a book called the Koran which is interpreted by Mullahs etc. The pacifist branch of Islam is the Sufi while the Shia and Sunni branches are steeped in differing dimensions of militancy in proselytizing. Like all religions there are good and bad things contained in the so called holy book when one views it from a perspective of rationality. Islam is a great religion; however it must be noted that people following the Islamic faith are at the center of armed conflict in many parts of the world. People following the Islamic faith have claimed responsibility for many acts of violence and terror in a number of countries. All great religions have gone through a period of reformation and have emerged as being more pertinent to their constituents in the age of reason. However there does not seem to be a clear reformation that has come to pass in the Islamic religion, which leaves aspects of dogma and theology at 7th century levels of understanding. The Catholic church for example reduced the use of Latin so as to be meaningful to its flock. Till Islamists do away with Arabic (which most of its followers have no clue about) the average moslem will only guided by mullahs and ayotollahs who have other agendas.

I was raised catholic and i consider myself a cafeteria catholic. My sister turned muslim many years ago. She married a very nice man who is muslim and of course they both follow the islam religion. The go to his homeland (Jordan) once a year. I agree with some of the practices but religion doesn't matter to me as long as you believe in God (Allah). Everyone has the right to believe what they want as long as they don't push their religion on other people,i know i don't i respect everyone's beliefs.

^_^ well many have been deceive.. Islam claims that they are the descendant of Ishmael.. but it is not the promised son of God to Abraham.. its Isaac.. its written in the book of Genesis..
