Salam to you all muslim.   
  Some Muslims try to hide their Islamic identity for fear of being labeled as “fundamentalist”. Men are shaving their beard and women are trying to make their hijab look like the latest fall fashion. If presented with food or drink that is haram, they say we are full at the moment, or they say we do not like the particular food.

Only few say that they cannot eat it because it is unlawful in Islam. This is not the way of the companions of the Prophet, (Salla Allah Alihi Wa Sallam), behaved. When the companions accepted Islam, they became proud of it and felt that all other ideologies and ways of life are inferior to what has been revealed to them from above seven heavens.

In the battle between the Muslims and the Persians, Rostom, the leader of the Persian army, asked to negotiate with the Muslims. Sa`d ibn Abi Waqqas, the Muslim leader in that battle, sent a group of companions among which was Rabi`e ibn Amir.
The Persian leader prepared a magnificent reception in order to impress those “Bedouins” and weaken their position. The Persians asked Rabi`e to enter without his arms. HE refused and entered with his arms and his horse and tied his horse next to Rostom. Rstom asked: “What brings you?” Rabi`e said: “Allah has sent us to convert mankind from the worship of people to the worship of Allah and from the narrowness of this life to its wideness and from the oppression of the religions to the justice of Islam.

Allah has sent us to His creatures with His religion. Whoever accepts it, we accept from him and whoever refuses, we fight him until we get the Promise of Allah?” “And what is His Promise?” asked Rostom. “Paradise for those who die and victory for those who survive” answered Rabi`e. Rostom said: “Can you delay this matter until we think about it?” Rabi`e answered: “Yes. How many days you need, one or two?” Rostom said: “More. Until I write to my people.” Rabi`e said: “We can’t. Our Prophet does not authorize us to delay our enemies more than three days. So make up your mind."

This companion came from a society which was materially far behind the Persian empire. Nevertheless he had in himself the seed of Truth and righteousness that allowed him not to be distracted or impressed with the glamour surrounding the Disbelievers.
Civilization starts with the correct belief and faith. The material aspects of civilization will come later as a by-product. On the other hand, the disbeliever, no matter how materially advanced he might be, is an uncivilized person and bears in his soul the germs of his own destruction. This is why you should take pride in your religion. This is why you should take pride in Islam.

Alhamdulil-lah being i'm Muslim.

I love being a MUSLIM

Muslims are the best of Mankind.

Proud to be a muslim.
Muslims are those that submit willing and totally to the laws of God Almighty

alimat 2:

Muslims are the best of Mankind.

Proud to be a muslim.
Muslims are those that submit willing and totally to the laws of God Almighty

Are you trying to say that submitting willingly and totally to the will of a god that tells you to kill others for their unbelief is a good thing to do? Muslims are not the best of mankind no matter how long you keep lying to yourself.

Alhamdulillah!without Islam life would have been meaningless

I am proud to be a Muslim and I don't hide it anywhere.

.

The reason why they feel ashamed of their religion may not be unconnected to the recent happenings across the globe traceable to islam. Terrorism, child marriage, intolerance of others faith. My humble advice is to----------------

I was actually discussing this issue with one of my school mates. The way muslims hide their faith is not really helping us. We once had a rally in my school for our jihad week where we had to move in a large groug through almost the entire school in order to raise awareness about it. The turnout for that rally was embarrassingly low, considering the large number of muslims we have in that school. To make matters worse, some members or participants of the rally joined only after we had proceeded past hostels/students residential areas.

I strongly believe you dont go to church, when last did you go for service. From ur post one can be able classify you as an illiterate, the only difference between you and an illiterate is that you know how to write(rubbish). By seeing your comments in the forum one can detect how irresponsible you are, i believe a real christian that goes to church and make use of his bible responsibly can never at your age behave the way you live your mysterious life. I believe you are not properly brought up. Or you have no or a litte knowledge of your religion. The funny thing about you is you can boldly say you are educated, right? I'm really sorry for you that at your age you still behave like a fool. You are one of the worst uneducated (uncivilised) people i came across with. So you think you have the ability to wrongfoot my muslims brothers and sisters?
ALLAH PROHIBITED TO SAY
BAD WORDS TO CHRISTIANS
AND JESUS PEACE BE UPON HIM
OTHERWISE!!!.

To attain perfection you have to live without sin! Does Islam teach hatred for sin and love of righteousness? What is sin to a Moslem? Does sin includes killing Christians in the name of God? Does it include hating Jesus whom you say is in your Quran? Have you ever tried to find out what Prophet Issa (Jesus) taught when he was in the earth? Where will you find his teaching? You need to find out what he said when he came to this world since the Quran said he was a Spirit ( RUHULLAH) from God.

Does this your same religion equate the hatred of the Jews with being virtous? let me give you some quote of your supremely "kind" religion
* he Epistle of Barnabus shows the Church exalted at the expense of the synagogue and the deadly word "Deicide" (the killing of God) appeared in Christian writings.

* Justin Martyr charged that the Jews crucified Christ in the highest pitch of their wickedness. It was during this time (150 A.D.) that the first encounter with Replacement Theology was embraced where the church replaced the Jews as God's chosen people.

* Tertullian argued that divine judgment is upon Israel, and Jews are destined to suffer for the crucifixion.------------>
"Satan has striven against the TRUTH in manifold ways, he has even tried to destroy it by defending it". . . Tetuillian.

* New ideas opposing "law" sprang up as early as 160-320 A.D. Marcion, 2nd century, adopted Matthew 5:17 as key theme to ending God's law and taught that the grace of God superseded it, rejecting the Old Testament.

* Several Church Councils from 341 A.D. to 626 A.D. prohibited Christians from celebrating the Sabbath, festivals, and even eating with the Jews. It seemed that the greatest concern with Judaism on the part of Christians leaders was the attraction that it held for Christians. . . . These rules do not come out of bad relations between Jews and Christians (what would now be called, erroneously, antisemitism), but rather were enacted because relations were good and the authorities wanted to separate the two peoples. God has always had a remnant who has followed the Torah.

* John Chrysostom, 344-407 A.D., preached: "The Jews , are worse than wild beasts , lower than the vilest animals. Debauchery and drunkenness had brought them to the level of the lusty goat and the pig. They know only , to satisfy their stomachs, to get drunk, to kill and beat each other up , I hate the Jews , I hate the Synagogue , it is the duty of all Christians to hate the Jews.

Origen, 185-254 A.D., was most responsible for changing the way the Church interpreted prophecy, creating the atmosphere

At the Bürgerbräukeller on April 12, 1922, Hitler said:I would like here to appeal to a greater than I, Count Lerchenfeld. He said in the last session of the Landtag that his feeling 'as a man and a Christian' prevented him from being an anti-Semite. I say: My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded only by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God's truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. , How terrific was His fight for the world against the Jewish poison.
This is how antisemitism became part and parcel of Christianity in Europe and later influnced Hitler with his rabid hatred of jews.

The crusade was fought to take back Jerusalem from Muslims.

Wasn't Jerusalem the Jews land, why fight over what was never theirs, it was forcefully taken from the Jews. The crusaders were Criminals in capital letters C.R.I.M.I.N.A.LS.
