WHy do you think it is misunderstood?I know what it is and so does other people,I also respect different kind of religon even if I don't argee with it or not.JM

WHy do you think it is misunderstood?

Why dont you?

Not all people who follow the religion of Islam are bad. The religion is not evil, it is the people who mutated the religion into what it is today. It does say in one of their books that all men and women are equal-yet you can't see that in places like Iraq.

Christians in this country want to prevent same-sex couples from being able to visit one another in the hospital. How is that a peaceful religion?

Ok, I'm glad many people are being respectful - but some comments are over the top.

Islam is a very peaceful religion. Did you know the original reason women were veiled was to prevent abuse?

I completely agree in saying that Islam as the most misunderstood religion.

What about the anti-Christ rule in Christianity? From another christian, not a written source, I was informed that all who believe christ's nonexistance should be ... how can I put it nicely, killed?

Extremist are in every religion, like it or not. One person's false act should not be accounted to judge a whole population. If you look at the most prominent example, Hitler, we can not say that the people of his faith are likely to go around killing anybody in their path.

And what of the crusades? Should I say that all Christians are this way?

Obviously you know NOTHING about Islam. You've just swallowed everything the media has been telling you about Islam, which is absolutely false. The word "Jihad" doesn't mean "holy war" as you may have been told, it means "conflict". Jihad is any kind of conflict, and under the religious context, it is a conflict in the name of God. More often than not, it is an internal conflict. People who use Jihad as an excuse to commit terrorist acts are extremists who are misusing their religion. In the Qu'ran it says that actual war is only acceptible if someone is preventing you from practicing your religion. Not even oppressing you in another sense, they must be stopping you from being a Muslim. Islam teaches peace and tolerance towards all people more than anything else.

Islam also teaches that Jews and Christians are "people of the book" who basically have the right idea about religion and are treated as fellow Muslims, but who follow outdated and misinterpreted versions of the truth. How nice of Christianity to return the favor.

What I love is when christians do hideous crimes the excuse is that they aint real christians so it aint about the religion at all. When someone from a different religion does the same it is the entire religion that is evil and not the single person. What a bunch of hypocrites

I never said that. I know there are peaceful Muslims. There are extremests in almost every group.

peace·ful adj. Inclined or disposed to peace; promoting calm.

How is preventing someone from seeing his partner in the hospital at all peaceful?

I don't see anything wrong with them visiting in the hospital, living together, working where I do. I have had gay friends where I work, but I don't believe they should be legally married and have married benefits.

It's Just my opinion

Because a relationship of two people of the same-sex is undeserving of the the benefits of a relationship of two people of the opposite-sex how?

No, only immediate family members have the automatic right to visit one another in the hospital or to make medical decisions for a loved one. Same-sex couples can be denied the right to visit a sick or injured loved one in the hospital. Next time, refrain from posting unless you know what you are talking about.
