Muslims: Are We Bad?

why do we have to  quote the scripture out of content  so as to prove a point, quran would be better be understood by checking the hadith, and in interpreting this a genuine hadith should be taken into consideration, that is why Almighty Allah SWA said" seek knowledge about me before u serve me, if u don't how do u know d way to serve me"and it also sais "there is no complusion in religion" so M4MALIK . let undesrtand Quran properly and not qouting it wrongly.

@Isaho,I did not make much sense from your posting and do not have time to search other threads.
My quesion again is does Islam sanction the killing of a Muslim that converts to another religion?
This should be a yes or no answer.

Well thanks 4malik,I would have liked to hear the answer from Mukina2,Isaho or any of those who tell us of the "peaceful" religion.

Because if they answer yes,they know that they have declared the truth in Islam which they cannot hide anymore.
When Bush said it was the extremists that hijacked a good religion after 9/11,he couldn't be more mistaken,the Koran makes it clear what true Islam is that's why they keep dodging the questions and would surface when things have cooled down to make noise.

Dear Forumites

We shgould not castigate each other becasue we are of different religion. It is not ones religion that ia bad but that person himor herself.
As we have bad mannered muslims so do we have it in Christendom adn instead of insulting each other letus start by puttinh things straight in our individual religion then and only then we can be justified of speakning badly or siting bad examples of the other religion. As we have controversial verses in the Quran so do we have it in the Bible. The two books are HOLY as far as i'm concerned and i respect the two religion.

BUT RELIGION IS NOTTHE KEY TO ETERNAL LIFE. IT IS YOURSELF. YOUR BEHAVIOUR

although i'm a christian a devout christian, i'm in a relationship with a muslim guy who refuses to change to Christian as most of his siblings have and insisted that somebody should atleast uphold the religion of their Family.

REMEMBER, the BIBLE says try to live in peace with all men. And it also says that you should not judge. Those muslims with bad behaviours are bad from their Mother's Womb i.e. thay were bad before they were even born. So it is not their religion that makes them bad.

And where is wholex who started all this

To goes to M4malik I think u should be objective in d way u think maybe u could be a better politician: u say we muslims are these and we muslims are that let me ask u some few question question:

1. When ever there is an uprising by muslims in nigeria where does it come from and where does it end?

2. how about in the international level which part of the world is notorious with muslim uprasing?

3. when u answer these questions and then u then research on their cultural background maybe it might change ur perception about muslims

if muislims re bad then what makes all other religion sect good?

I wonder what people really understand by the word "Religion".  To me what you believe in and dictates your way of life is your religion:

Would you consider the Niger Delta Youths terrorists??
Would you consider the Odua Peoples Conference terrorists??
Would you consider Egbesu Youths terrorists??

Do the above class of people not kill and maim when pushed to the wall??
Are they all muslims??

It would be better if we try to seek TRUE knowledge before we disgrace ourselves in public.

Muslims like saying people is a general word. i disagree that your religion makes you bad!

If i blend the part of my religion, culture and social life; which will suit my personality i will form a different a religion

If i meet hundreds of bad muslims today, that still wont count as muslims are bad .

If you meet a thousand good xtians today, it stills no fact that xtians are all good

It more of what you want to see, You can't learn with close minds

i don't think it is appropriate or good enough to quote something from the Bible or Quran. sometimes you have to read the whole passage before it makes sense.

@Sheikh M4Malik,

Whose “Islam” are you interpreting??!

There is nothing like "The Islam". There is so much diversity and dynamism in Islam to advocate otherwise. There are over 80 denominations in the world that all label themselves ‘Muslims’ and belonging to the religion of ‘Islam’ and yet each one interprets the Holy Koran differently; the Muslims in Kosovo eat pork and the Amra Muslims of Turkey pray 4 times a day. The list goes on.  And then there are those who say “ooh no this is ‘unislamic’” whatever that may mean.

Since all the major denominations of Islam are fundamentalist, and  judging from your stereotypical responses, you sound to me to be a fundamentalist and I think you too will fall under that group who disagree of other Muslim groups. But the fact remains who are we to judge this people??!! Let God do the judging.

Being opinionated has made me acknowledge the fact that there are indeed many misconceptions of Islam and that these misconceptions are unfortunately enhanced by people, especially sexist men of your judgment. I am sure the likes of you will also argue that only Muslims will go to paradise. Oh? What about others who are living in places where Islam has never been mentioned?

Faith is a matter of the heart; no one can be compelled to accept it. And it is one thing to want to live peacefully with others of other faiths, but quite another to make them want to think the way you do or make them have the same attitude toward you.

I am appalled by your barbaric line of thinking and worry about their impact on the people here, who evidently want to know more of Islam. Your diminutive outbursts are turning back the clock where progress has been made and sadly these misconceptions of Islam will create more Islamophobia. 

…and yes I am a Muslima.

Are muslims bad or are they good? - the question is too generalized. Now is Islam itself a bad religion - NO.  I don't think any religion is bad, as far as I concerned the purpose of religion is to promote "morality". What do I personally think  is the problem - fanatism?. Fanatism in any religion is bad and it breeds violence- xtianity, Islam, Judaism and so on. The sad truth is that Islam has more fanatics than any other religion that I've seen.

@ brownsuga
Plenti sense in your words!

@ tomi29
Am loads of them!

I think bulk of the problem lies in "proper orientation"; education of the religion itself.
because i don't see the reason why an educated fellow with focus in life would carry arms in order to spill innocent blood just to fulfill some clause in the quran.

Those boys that actually do this are the potential candidates that doesnt know that there's more to life than generating hatred towards other religion. They kill for passion.

That's funny I don't know why that has to be the case. Some of my closest friends are muslims and I do visit them regularly without any problem.

It's great to see all the heat generated so far in the responses. For those who feel that "Sheikh M4Malik" is barbaric for simply pointing out what Muhammad taught his followers, that's quaint - but it still does not obliterate the facts of what you're trying to hide.

I haven't "interpreted" Islam for anyone other than pointing readers to the explicit statements in Islam's holy books and challenging people to think for ourselves. It's hilarious that instead of offering counter views to what I've posted and discussing those points raised, only noise returns just to hush what is being said.

@niterider, many thanks for your terse and mild appellation ("assholes") in contrast to what your 'Prophet' called non-muslims. It just gets to prove by the day how Bad good you are. 

goodbobo,you got it
I asked a aquestion and all the Muslims have carefullly avoided it.
WHAT DOES ISLAM SAY TO DO TO ANY MUSLIM WHO CONVERTS?

Any takers?
