I am new to this forum. i am a Catholic American. My intention is to learn and share my viewpoint with Moslems. I have to say, I am very impressed with what i have read so far. I have to admit, i was expecting much more hate-filled posts than i have seen. For that, I truly do apologize.

Americancrusade, It is kind of you to admit that what you expected to see is not what is actually happening on IC forum. I am a new Muslim and I came here to learn more about Islam from those who live pious Muslim lives. I have seen some hostility on this forum; however, more often than not, it is from some non-Muslim who simply wants to pick a fight because of some misconception they have as to the current state of affairs in the world. I, also, live in the Islam mean Peace and there is nothing in the Nobel Qur'an that could possible lead anyone to believe otherwise. If some individuals who profess to be Muslim have taken it upon themselves to do violent acts bringing harm to innocent individuals and claim that they are doing so in the name of Allah, they simply don't know what they are talking about. Any sensible Christian should be able to see the truth in this. How many "Christians" in It would be nice if non-Muslims would read the Qur�an�a real translation and not one of the bad ones that are found in bookstores across the Americancrusade, I know that you came here thinking that you just might have the chance to �enlighten� some Muslims, but maybe if you stick around, you will be surprised to see who is actually the one that is enlightened. Welcome to the forum and I hope you enjoy the time you spend here.
PAZ, Khadija |

Bismillah, I like your point on the non-phrase "Christian terrorism". That reminds me of the crusades. I could have used that today when my dad said everybody thinks muslims are terrorist. (I told him at least he knows better!) To say this phrase that you mentioned when people bring up the other would be useful in helping them realize how incorrect both of the phrases are. |

Islam has a connection to the word peace, but it's actual meaning comes closer to, submtting oneself to (the one god) while wishing the peace with Him in doing so. How does one submit to Him? how does one achieve peace with Him? through obeying His commands, leaving what He dislikes, and doing what He likes, and these can be found in His books, The Torah, The Evangel and the Koran. He is The Truth, so He loves the truthful. He is The Just so He loves the just. wether you are jew, christian or "muslim", if your goal is not to please Him through your deeds and striving, your works will bare no fruit in the hereafter, your works will be in vain. Because the truth is Allah, is One, The Merciful, The Creator. The Massiah is Jesus son of Mary messenger of Allah. koran chapter 5 (the table) verse 68" say:"O people of the book(bible comes from the latin word bibleo which means book).O people of the book ye are upon nothing, unless ye make firm(implement) The Torah(The Law, old testament), the Evangel(gospel), and that which is sent down to you from thy Lord". And that which is sent down to thee from thy Lord increaseth in most of them their arrogance and ungratefullness, so sorrow thouself not over the (disbelieving) ungrateful people. people of the book, means the jews and christians. Jews and Christians are urged to implement their own books, These books are His also. i leave you with this... Chapter "the table 5 verse 48 To thee We sent the Scripture in truth, confirming the scripture that came before it, and guarding it in safety: so judge between them by what Allah hath revealed, and follow not their vain desires, diverging from the Truth that hath come to thee. To each among you have we prescribed a law and an open way. If Allah had so willed, He would have made you a single people, but (His plan is) to test you in what He hath given you: so strive as in a race in all virtues. The goal of you all is to Allah. it is He that will show you the truth of the matters in which ye dispute; When truth comes, man has no other option but to accept the truth, because we all will stand before Him who is The Truth, and turning away from the truth when it comes to you means you loved something more then the truth, and that which you loved over the truth can not be something else then a lie....because what else is there after the truth except a lie? Know that truth leads to Him, and He loves the truthfull, so be truthfull in your search and striving may He love and accept you. |

Community, After reading your above post (and others as well), I would like to know of which faith do you belong? Are you Jewish, Christian, Muslim or some other? Please make this clear to me so that maybe it will help me (and others) understand your posts better. After reading your posts, more often than not, I am PAZ, Khadija |

American Crusade, I was once in your shoes, after reading the Quran and Sunnah I found that Islam was the most peaceful religion in the world, Islam has made me a good person, I was raised in the South, really Southern American; Bad teenager; lucky to still be alive. After Accepting Islam; everyone in my family admitted that Islam was the answer for me; my family are Mormon. Insha�llah --Allah will bless them with Islam. Islam is peace, and Humdi�llah I have found peace in Islam and peace with in myself... |

To all, I must address the use of my chosen screen name. American Crusade. It would have been longer if the character count allowed.."American Crusader" Yes, it is my intent to address, discuss, challenge anyone who supports a mindless Jihad of violence and murder. You will often hear me refer to the term Islamo-Jihadist. I chose that term because I realize not all Muslims are Jihadists commiting acts of violence or supporting them. I recognize Islam as a peaceful religion. I hope that my time here will re-inforce that concept. I also hope to give a Christian viewpoint that will help to change one's mind if they are supporting such wickedness. That is the purpose of my American Crusade, to reveal there is no love in Jihad or vengence. It is not my intent to convert to Islam. I am a new Catholic and have found my conversion experience very enlightening. In my parrish, we preach about forgiveness and tolerance. It is required!!! Now, that does not mean every Catholic wants to forgive the evil done to Christians by Islamo-Jihadists, and I have to admit I also struggle with that notion. I need to read and hear from Muslims who are peace, who are love and who also believe we can all live together, sharing the same God or Allah. By doing so, I can strengthen my resolve for tolerance and love, as mandated by my Catholic beliefs. American Christians need to hear this from Muslims everywhere! As Christians, we realize there are many different faiths and accept that. What we don't tolerate and will always expose are hate-mongering people who try to identify themselves as Christians. I look forward to the day when Islam will police their own and eradicate the hate-filled jihadists within their faith. |
