What is Muslim: Famous Muslims answer

No need to watch it. Most of us already know it is 1,400 year old political IDEOLOGY, who's primary goal is to make the WORLD Islamic, by any means necessary, including lying.
And that is their definition of PEACE.
(Check the Quaran if you have doubts)
Conquering the planet a little piece at at time.



It is NOT the fastest growing *cough* 'religion', because people like it.
And Christian's are NOW are the MOST PERSECUTED people on the planet.
(Seach it, if you have any doubts)

what we 'all know' is more limited than what we 'think' we
'all know'

muslim is , like any religious group, as diverse as the billions of individuals who study the religion,,,

Hi. Let me correct you on this point. I know verywell this topic. Islam is not a religion. It is a sect, a death cult. Just look the history of countries invaded by islam.

It never ceases to amaze me how much good can come out of a bad idea

Like wise humans are quiet capable of causing bad to come out of a good idea.

But the idea that one should base their beliefs on faith (deluding yourself you know something you don't know) based on what others have told you what to believe. Strikes me that as an idea no matter how much good may come out of it. It is inevitably going to be a source of hardship when reality gets in the way and is therefore not a reliable guide with which to navigate reality.

Until such time as sufficient of humanity learns to create worthwhile faith (a thought or feeling that holds within it an expectation of future value) within their belief system we shall be at the mercy of those that base their belief system on faith.

ahh,, but most of our 'knowledge' isnt self determined but taken on the 'faith' of what the book writers have told us,,,,

we then live and apply that 'knowledge' to see if it pans out to what we experience

such is also the case with 'faith'

The self determining part of our knowledge comes in the form of the testing we choose to investigate it with to determine its validity .
As there is no universal set test we can apply to all knowledge to determine its accuracy its up to us each and every time to determine how we test it.
Sometimes we test it consciously sometimes unconsciously
Sometimes we test it vigorously
Sometimes we are less vigorous because it appears to fit in with our thinking

Even if we determine to be vigorous in the testing of our knowledge we are vulnerable to our biases and our basic ignorance of “what is”

So its not surprising a degree of faith is required in what we believe to be true.

From testing our knowledge we now move on to testing our faith.

When a person whose belief system is based on a faith in a god I imagine their test would be to question whether their faith is serving god, self and perhaps others.

When I test the worthiness of my faith I ask a trilogy of questions.

Is my faith in the best interest of self? others? and the environment?

While the interests of those three considerations may be in conflict I have way more confidence in my judgement as to what may be appropriate than leaving it to a god that if it actually exists has a very poor form of communicating its intent.

There is much in the bible that most christians have learnt to ignore or interpret into insignificance.
There is much in the koran that many muslims have learnt to ignore or interpret into insignificance.
Both books how ever are capable of being interpreted to say that the sooner life on earth ceases the happier god will be along with those that believe in it.

My faith is in humanity evolving past such belief even though my faith is tested by reality daily.

IMO much better that than have my faith blind me to reality

The Answer of the secret only can find in Alquran, if u didnt read yet, so u dont need to tell everything,, event a good book writer tell something u can't approves it or people scream loud bout Moslem n did sarcasme, they r not Moslem

The secret life of Muslims

_____________________________________________________________________

You mean chopping non Muslims heads off?

Its not a secrete

muslim extremists practice violence on muslims and non muslims who don't believe in their extremist values

...just saying..they sure have a lot of extremists for today's ideologies ...and pretty sure technology has allowed most eyes to see that it is not common nor acceptable behavior...and any faith that supports and practices hurting women and children...Nope...but gotta give the peaceful people who don't "practice " what they preach..

Yes.. I know.. call them what you want, but it is terrorism.. and it is widespread. And a weekly occurrence.. worldwide. And it is Muslims, killing in the name of their God.

targeting predominantly non Muslims. women, kids, old, young...makes no difference to them.

Is this not the truth?

No its not

Extremist muslims kill MANY more muslims than non

but the non muslim communities just report mostly on their non muslim community of citizens,,,

we have americans committing mass shootings nearly weekly too,, but we dont paint all americans with that brush because of what the minority and most well reported of them do


americans have crazies amongst them, so do muslims,,,,,,,it doesnt mean I believe all americans are homicidal and it doesnt mean I paint all or even most muslims that way either

...sadly we live in a world writhing in hate...everyone is judging everyone...me..I don't care who you are or what you believe...in my eyes you are either a good soul or a bad soul...screw human perspective of what is considered bad or good...human law differs from Gods law regardless of what faith you practice... I am concerned about what I have read about how the Muslims start out peaceful but as their numbers increase they start using force and intimidation to push their beliefs on others...but that also pertains to gangs in big cities..start with a couple..next thing you know everyone is sporting blue or red bandanas..lol..hence why I choose to view people by their souls...good or bad is easy to see in a persons words and deeds..

I agree

its because I have crossed path with both 'christians' and 'muslims' with mostly good 'souls', that I take caution with the stereotypes about the group being hateful or inherently homicidal

https://imgflip.com/s/meme/Table-Flip-Guy.jpg

...yup..even if you claim the title of a faith.. Muslim, Christian..ect...it's what is truly in your heart, words, and deeds that God will judge us by...despite our differences God knows who has an evil soul...and pretty sure just saying your one way or the other won't affect his perspective of who he knows you are..

I too agree. Iike how you finished with I choose to view people by their souls...good or bad is easy to see in a person's words and deeds...as do I.

Unfortunately, it is, let's be frank, not all Muslims are terrorists for sure but Islamic ideology itself encourages terrorism and killing on religious basis. My family, for example, has never agreed with killing in the name of god, we even lost relatives who fought against radical troops in Syria, but that doesn't change the fact that Islam (and especially Sunni Islam) is the main problem rather than Muslims, as long as Quraan is still the main source of Islamic ideology and laws, and as long as it can't be changed or criticised, the problem is gonna still exist, and even grow gradually due to the rising conflicts in the Middle East that spread chaos and leave large areas out of governmental control, making it fertile soil of disorer and thus terrorism.

lets be frank.
the overwhelming MAJORITY of muslims arent terrorists

Muslims MOSTLY kill other muslims, but western media MOSTLY only reports when they are killing westerners

and both the Bible and The Quran have verses that could be said to condone or promote killing non believers, as well as verses that promote it

'extremists' are called such because they are not the norm
