Muslim- a follower/believer of the religion of Islam. Muslims leave normal lives like you and I, only they are more strict on certain subjects. Like many other races, muslims are often misunderstood to be terrorists/anti-semitics/anti-christian/anarchists/anti-american. Most muslims do not commit acts of terrorism. Due to the actions of a few bad muslims, they have singlehandedly created a sterotypical image of a muslim: a towel headed, fanatical, suicidal, pyshcopath. They are one of the most misunderstood people on earth. Many people say that if we kill all the muslims, then there would be no more terrorists activities. That is genocide, and it would makes us no better than the nazis. Many of the things we use today are from muslim decent. Like coffee, algebra,and the concept of zero.

Contrary to what most people seem to think, Muslims are not supposed to kill Christians and Jews. In fact, the Quran specifically says so.
And Muhammad personally would be appalled by the notion of women being forced to wear veils. He firmly believed men and women to be equals.

someone who is called a terrorist while his way of saying hello is " Peace on you" ....someone who is judged in a bad way, because of a so-called Muslim namely Ben Laden!!...but reality is completely different, a muslim is a peaceful man, and we can obviously understand that from the word "Islam", which means "peace", hence muslim means peaceful
Elissa: Dude, this is damn crazy!!..that guy over there says that every muslim is a terrorist cuz Ben Laden is a Muslim!!...well if so I can say that every christian is a terrorist then!!!!
Richard: Eww, how's that?!!!
Elissa: I believe you forgot that a certain bastard namely George W Bush is Christian ;)
Richard: huh, Touché!!!

A follower of Islam. Islam meaning 'Submission to God'. Therefore a submitter to God is by definition a Muslim.
Jesus said ' I submit my will to the will of God' therefore by definition he is a Muslim.
All prophets Submitted their will to One God.
In English 'ER' is added a word to indicate one is currently doing it i.e. for the word 'walk' becomes 'walker' or the word 'sleep' becomes 'sleeper' or the word 'fast' becomes 'faster'.
However in Arabic 'MU' is added to indicate the same thing. So if you're living Islam then you're a 'Mu'Islam. Which becomes the word Muslim. Therefore you are living, following and practicing Islam.

Muslim - A follower of Islam testifying there is no deity worthy of worship except God and Muhammad is his slave and messenger.
"Tom declared; I bear witness there is nothing worthy of worship except the One God (Allah) and Muhammad is his slave and messenger". The same as Adam, Moses, Noah, Joseph, Solomon, John, Jacob and Jesus were slaves and messengers of God, to name but a few.
