Islam is a universalizing Abrahamic monotheistic religion teaching that there is only one God and that Muhammad is a messenger of God .
Al-Islam (Submission) is a religion that believes in one God (Allah).
According to Islamic Tradition, there are five basic things that Muslims should do. They are called "The Five Pillars of Islam":
Tawheed: The Testimony (faith in English) is the core of the Muslim belief that there is no god but Allah himself, and that Muhammad is his last messenger.
Salaat: Muslims pray five times per day, at special times of the day.
Zakaat: Muslims who have money must give 1/40th of their money (charity in English) to help people who do not have money or need help.
Sawm or Siyam: Fasting during Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic year. Muslims do not eat or drink from dawn till sunset for one lunar month.
Hajj (Pilgrimage in English): During the month of Zulkaedah, the 12th month of the Islamic Calendar is the pilgrimage season where many Muslims go to Mecca, the holiest city of Islam
Muslims pray in a place of worship called the mosque. A mosque is called a masjid in Arabic.
*Women have a great and honored place in Islam, Quran has a chapter titled "Women" and another chapter titled "Mariam" which is a testament to the importance of women in Quran.

The "Five Pillars of Islam" were invented by competing Arabic warlords in the process of creating their new religion from an older, Christian sect. In time, these groups would be known as "Sunni" and "Shia."

Get the Five Pillars of Islam mug.A word the Bush administration made up, in hopes that people will confuse various islamic militants (a collection of divided guerilla groups, terrorists and/or actual freedom fighters, with often radically different and sometimes opposing goals, who are not associated with any single nation. But hailing mostly from third-world nations.) with the nazi's (A single group, at the time in control of Germany, who sought to dominate Europe and its colonial empire, if not the world. Who have become synonymous with the evilist side of mankind.)
They hope that if enough people are gullible enough to swallow this they'll support the Iraq war. And believe Iraq harboured Osama or WMD's or whatever else it was supposed to be guilty off.
If enough people are stupid enough to swallow this then the rich oil barons actually controlling the Bush administration can freely plunder the mid-east, give themselves huge tax-cuts (out of the pockets of the far less affluent common man), make record profits, bust some unions and more such. Generally with intend of eventually becoming a sort of aristrocracy in a setting similar to a latin american 'banana republic' style dictatorship. By the looks of it.

The islamofascists are going to kill you! Only the Republicans can stop them! And we'll get Osama too! We think he's in Syria or Iran now! Or maybe Libanon! Fuck, we'll just invade the entire mid-east! And you pay for it! And for our third yacht! Whilst we make tons of profit from all the oil!

Get the islamofascist mug.A neologism used by neo-conservatives to denigrate Islamic governments.
It ignores the fact that most Islamic fundamentalists are stateless, such as Osama bin Laden. It also ignores the reality that most forms of fascism are decidedly secular militaristic enterprises.
What is usually missed is that the largest Fascist states in the Middle East are US allies, such as Suadi Arabia and Egypt. True skeptics reject the term out of hand, arguing that there is no new Hitler. Others prefer to see Bush in the role of the neo-fascist.
