To clarify a few things:
1. Only 12% of Arabs are Muslims, if you believe that all Muslims are Arabs, then you're racist
2. Not all Muslims are terrorists, that's just how the media potrays them 90% of the time ( and not everything shown on TV is always true.)
3. We were the first to believe that women should be given the same rights as men ( unlike how mainstream media tells you that we believe that women are inferior to men.)
4. Prophet Muhammad S.A.W was not a pedopile, he married Aisha R.A. because that was the norm at the time, Like how it was okay in the 1500s for a grown man to marry a 12 year old girl.
So:
1. NO, not all Arabs are Muslims.
2. NO, we're not all terrorists
3. NO, we do not think that women are inferior to men
4. AND NO, Prophet Muhammad S.A.W was not a pedophile.

I am so sick of Islamaphobes using the Aisha card to validate their opinions and beliefs about Islam.

Look all the definitions on here are wrong. U assume things. My religion is holy and true. It is clean. Prophet muhammad is not a rapist. He is not a mass murderer. Our god is the only god. Praying 5 times a day isn’t stupid. We don’t devote ourselves to god. Women cover their bodies because pretty things should be kept to them selves and women aren’t tools that men should just go around slapping their asses. It is a religion. There is alot we can say about ur religions but we are humble and accepting.

2) Salah (Prayer) - Salah is the name for the prayers that are performed 5 times a day, and are a direct link between the worshiper and God.
3) Zakah (Almsgiving) - An important principle of Islam is that everything belongs to God, and that wealth is therefore held by human beings in trust. The word "Zakah" means both "purification" and "growth."
4) Sawm (Fasting) - Every year in the month of "Ramadan," all able Muslims fast from dawn until sundown; abstaining from food, drink, and sexual relations with their spouses. Muslims fast for the pleasure of Allah. There are also a lot of charitable deeds. Muslims may feed a needy neighbor, feed the poor, etc. It sets them on a spiritual level because they are unable to eat or drink. So by fasting, they are not only pleasing Allah, but can also obtain a feel for people less fortunate than their selves.
5) Hajj (Pilgrimage) - The pilgrimage to Makkah (also spelled Mecca); the hajj; is an obligation only for those physically able to do so. Even so, over 2 million people perform a pilgrimage to Makkah each year from every corner of the globe. After a Muslim has carried out their pilgrimage, they have taken a step closer to God by visiting His house, the first house of worship on Earth.

The five pillars of Islam are the foundation of Muslim life: faith or belief in the Oneness of God and the finality of the prophethood of Muhammad; establishment of the daily ritual prayers; self-purification through fasting; and the pilgrimage to Makkah for those who are physically and financially able to go.
