Any info would help me understand ' !!
The word Muslim comes from a root word meaning 'peace', and can be translated something like 'humility' or 'submission'. The Quran teaches that Jesus is the Messiah, that he was born of a virgin, that he was the most sinless of all the prophets of God, and will return one day to bring peace upon the Earth, but that he is not God's biological son, but rather a 'true follower' of God. He is a 'son of God' to Muslims no more than Adam is a 'son of God'; both were formed without Earthly fathers.
Muslims make up 20% of the Earth's population and most live in Southeast Asia - the Phillipines, Indonesia etc, and only 20% are Arabs. Ninety three percent of Muslims do not support war, and most Muslims view the 'Jihad' as meaning that they must struggle with their inner sinful desires, not with others.
Most Muslims, particularly outside Arab states, also do not practice the oppression of women, since women are to be respected as mothers of men. Unfortunately, the minority who do oppress women get the most press.
Muslims do not worship Muhammed, but rather consider him the last prophet, while Abraham was the first. They also consider Adam to be the first Muslim.
The core beliefs of Islam are the belief in a singular, universal God who created all things, who judges actions by their intent, who teaches that man should love for others what he loves for himself, that he should not harm others and that being part of the world is not about financial or Earthly gain but about wisdom, compassion and love.
The most common misconception about Islam is that which says 'Mohammed is worshipped', or 'Mohammed is perfect'. In fact, Mohammed was openly a sinner, like Moses or Abraham, men who were not perfect, and Mohammed pointed to Jesus as the one to bring peace upon the Earth, not himself.
The other common misconception is about Sharia. Sharia simply is a code of conduct, where a person should have particularly good intents and perspectives in certain things. These things are:
Religion, sanctity of life, family, the mind, prosperity and liberty. Sharia are the essentials to human welfare, what each person should bear in mind in all thought, intent and decision.
The vast majority of Muslims also believe not only in the freedom of religion, but that it is their duty to protect the oppressed, no-matter what faith they are.
It's unfortunate because Islam is not a religion of hatred anymore than Christianity is, yet those hateful members of each give the whole a very unfortunate press.
