As a practicing Muslim, some of these definitions are really hurtful. Let's get a few things straight. First of all, it is against Sharia (Islamic law) to force others to convert to Islam, to kill someone because they do not follow Islam, or to commit suicide. In fact, most of the terrorists you hear of today are NOT Muslims, even if they may call themselves Muslims. Islam is actually a peaceful religion, based on the learnings of a man who married a non-Muslim. If what some people here said is true, he would have had to kill his own wife. And for the information of some ignorant people, the only reason blood was shed during the initial spread of Islam from Medina was because people attacked Muhammad and his followers. And if you say that Islam cannot be true because it is absurd, then I say look it up. It is no more absurd than Judaism or Buddhism, and certainly less absurd than Christianity. So, I hope that some people who read this will understand that Islam is NOT equal to terrorism, and is a religion that can be respected and has followers with feelings. And if you are too narrow minded to realize this, then, !أنصرف معك!
Jim: Islam sucks. All its followers are violent extremists.

Islam, a religion everyone failed to define correctly.
Islam teaches Muslims (the people who believe in the One and Only God, Allah(S.W.T)) to respect everyone even if it's a elderly or a young, even if it's a man, woman or any other believer.
Islam is a religion of peace (and I mean it literally), beauty and many more. It doesn't teach violence AT ALL.
Qur'an is Muslims' Holy book. (just like Bible is of Christians)
It shows us the right path, it's a cure when in need, it's a reward.
It's not a cult nor does it encourage terrorism.
Prophets are our leaders and most specifically Muhammed (P.B.U.H) is going to be our Leader till the Day of Judgement (end of the world basically).
In order to travel the right way, it has some rules and it is there for a reason. For e.g. Halal-Haram.
Halal is permissible or lawful and Haram is prohibited. We have some things prohibited and it is for a reason. (Let's all wait till 'the scientific researchers' find it's bad for the body and Muslims will be there nodding their heads knowingly)
Islam is beautiful. Instead of hate, it promotes love.

IT IS ALL ABOUT SEX, INCEST, MURDERING PEOPLE WHO SPEAK AGAINST THEM, RAP-
Me: Honey stop wasting your time listening to Immature people saying something they don't even know of with their poor researching abilities and make it useful by actually reading from a rightful source. Don't copy paste what other people wrote wrong about it.
People who defined Islam: B-b-but I know Islam more than you okay? I know the truth!!1!1
me: Stop it gurlie

Islam means submission to God. God translated in the Arabic language is "Allah". This religion is a peaceful religion but not a pacifist religion. It is a religion that is practical. Verses in the Quran that people take out of context make it look like the whole religion is evil. Yes there is war in Islam but it is not just to spread violence. It is usually used fir self defense. God also prohibits Muslims in war to hurt women, children, the elderly, or even a tree, yes even a tree.
Islam does not preach to hate all non Muslims. Prophet muhammed in fact allowed traveling Christians to spend the night and even pray in his mosque before.
There's so much more incidents and facts to prove that Islam is not the violent evil religion people think it is.
Islam is about rationally submitting to God after being convinced Islam is the truth. The Quran is filled with historical, geographical, linguistic, and scientific miracles like the Big Bang.
It's not blind faith. It's based off pure logic and reason and of course faith.

Islam
A religion based upon peace
The west media is false and shittyy, they only show you what they want you to see.
Just like how not all black people are thugs and drug dealers
And not all christians are kkk members.
So dont judge 1.7 billion people because of a group of dick heads who do shiit and use the name of islam as an excuse.
And if you have any questions, ask a muslim not someone who doesn't know.
Be woke.

Islam (Arabic: الإسلام ) is a verbal noun originating from the triliteral root S-L-M which forms a large class of words mostly relating to concepts of wholeness, submission, safeness, and peace. In a religious context it means "voluntary submission to God".
Allah (Arabic: الله ) is the Arabic word for God in Abrahamic religions. In the English language, the word generally refers to God in Islam

There is no God except Allah and Prophet Muhammad (May Peace be Upon Him) is the final Messenger. Islam is monotheistic just like the religion of Abraham. The true believers in Islam believe in the Day of Judgement and the existence of heaven and hell. They believe in the angels (who are neither male nor female), all the Prophets sent by Allah and the four books of Allah.
Islam is easy and whoever burdens himself with religion will not be able to continue in that way. - Prophet Muhammad (May Peace be Upon Him)
