A believer in Islam which is a monotheistic religion characterized by the acceptance of the doctrine of submission to God. They are unfairly judged by the ignorant individuals in our society who fail to try to understand the religion. It is one of the main religions in the world and based on peace. Like the KKK in Christianity it has small groups like the Taliban that preach extremes that the rest of the followers of the religion dont adhere to.
I cannot judge every American based on one extreme, therefore I would not judge all Muslims based on one extreme.

A Muslim is a follower of the Islamic faith. Contrary to what appears to be, from the vast majority of the widely bigoted definitions other users of this website have submitted, popular belief, Mulsims follow a religion that is no better or worse than any other and is not a terrorist religion.
Muslims follow the prophet Muhammad.
Contrary to popular belief, jihad (holy war), although it is required by Islam, is often not a literal war. In fact, it is believed in the Islamic faith that inner war is the highest of all holy wars--meaning that one must fight inside oneself the way that many non-Muslims do on a day-to-day basis to be a better, holier person.
In Islam, Jews and Christians are accepted as "people of the book" because they use the same holy books that Muslims believe in and the Koran comes from.
Muslim terrorism often only comes from the power-hungry who abuse religion (and it cannot be denied that this hasn't occurred in all religions, particularly Christianity) and the uneducated who have been given misinformation by the power-hungry. Islam in itself is not a terrorist faith and never has been. Also, the notion that Islam was originally spread by early terrorists galloping through the Middle East on camel back is untrue and is a notion similar to the fact that a reason Christianity is so prevalent worldwide is that it was sometimes spread by force and violence, despite the fact that violence is an undeniable violation of the laws set forth in Christianity.

"Surely those who believe, and those who are Jews,
and the Christians, and the Sabians -whoever believes
in God and the Last Day and does good, they shall have their reward from their Lord. And there will be no fear for them, nor shall they grieve" (2:62, 5:69,).
"We believe in God, and in what has been revealed
to us and what was revealed to Abraham, Isma'il,
Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and in (the Books)
given to Moses, Jesus, and the prophets, from their
Lord: We make no distinction between one and another
among them, and to God do we bow our will (in Islam)." (Surat Al Imran; 3:84).
"...and nearest among them in love to the
believers will you find those who say, 'We
are Christians,' because amongst these are
men devoted to learning and men who have renounced
the world, and they are not arrogant" (5:82).
"O you who believe! Be helpers of God -
as Jesus the son of Mary said to the Disciples,
'Who will be my helpers in (the work of) God?'
Said the disciples, 'We are God's helpers!'
Then a portion of the Children of Israel believed,
and a portion disbelieved.But We gave power to
those who believed, against their enemies, and
they became the ones that prevailed" (61:14).
"We had Jesus, the son of Mary, follow in
their footsteps in order to confirm what had
come before him from the Torah and We gave
him the Gospel which contains guidance and Light,to confirm what he already had in the Old Testament,and as guidance and a lesson for those who do their duty.
Let the people of the Gospel judge by what God has sent down in it; Those who do not judge by what God has sent down are perverse!" The Quran 5:45
DO YOU STILL CALL US INTOLERANT?
TO TERRORISTS WHO CLAIM TO BE MUSLIMS - you're not, the biggest proof is you havent read the quran:
" Call to the way of your Lord with wisdom and fair admonition, and argue with them in the kindest way. your Lord knows best who is misguided from His way.And He knows best who are guided." (Surat an-Nahl; 16:125).
The recompense for an injury
is an injury equal thereto (in degree),
but if a person forgives and makes reconciliation,
his reward is due from God,
for God loves not those who do wrong.
But indeed, if any do help and defend themselves
after a wrong done to them,
against such there is no cause of blame.
The blame is only against those who oppress men
with wrongdoing and insolently transgress
beyond bounds through the land,
defying right and justice.
For such there will be a penalty grievous (in the Hereafter).
But indeed, if any show patience and forgive,
that would truly be an affair of great resolution.
Qur'an 42:40-43
Goodness and evil are not equal.
Repel evil with what is better.
Then that person with whom there was hatred,
may become your intimate friend!
And no one will be granted such goodness
except those who exercise patience and self-restraint,
none but people of the greatest good fortune.
Qur'an 41:34-35
"It may be that God will grant love (and friendship) between you and those whom ye (now) hold as enemies. For God has power (over all things), and God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
God does not forbid you, with regard to those who fight you not for (your) faith nor drive you out of your homes, from dealing kindly and justly with them: for God loves those who are just."

A follower of the religion of Islam--NOTHING MORE! Does NOT mean terrorist, sand nigger, towel head, rag top, dune coon, camel jockey, sand monkey, etc.
To all you fucking faggots that say otherwise, fuck you! You don't know shit and are comparable to the ACTUAL terrorists that do all that shit you hate. Well, what about you? You fucking encourage the same shit to be done, you fucking shitheads! Instead of letting you sit here sit here enjoying your barbeques, wearing your miniature American flags while at the same time avoiding jury duting and voting, we should make you go help in Iraq and be some bullet/bomb bait for good soldiers who don't hate all Muslims and deserve to live and come home. Fucking scum.
And as for Tyler from Texas or whatever the fuck your name is, you're especially bad, you shit-eating cocksucker! I normally do feel bad for victims of 9/11, but you're an exception. I'm going to assume that your parents raised you to generalize and hate and wish harm on innocents like you do, so fuck you and your dead family and friends. I mean, how great can a person be if they hang out with a piece of shit like you? Fucking faggot. Lord knows you're not doing a damn thing sitting here stereotyping. Had many ties to Islam and Judaism? MY ASS. You're just fucking making that shit up to look like a victim, when really you should have been in those towers in place of the guy who didn't stereotype and sling racist slurs.
And look at that bullshit about how Christians didn't denouce their religion when fed to the lions and Christianity is the one true religion. What a load of bullshit! Since when are Muslims denouncing their religion in the face of death? If anything, they're doing the exact OPPOSITE, cockface! And your religion being the one true religion, isn't that THE SAME SHIT you say the terrorists do? Fuck you, man. You're comparable to Hitler. You're probably some fucking redneck trailer trash who has a lifetime membership with the KKK and Neo-Nazis. Go to hell, bitch.

Muhammad Ali is a Muslim.
