Salam, What do I like about Islam?
There is so much that I can talk about on this subject. I like how Islam is a complete religion. The Quran teaches everything and tells you how to behave, live, etc..
I like how there is much more unity in islam than in other religions.
Islam seems like the way for everyone and everyone should be muslim.

Jazakallah for the contributions :)
Nick: makes sense! I think I know what u mean... its very simple and basic - but still covers many aspects in great detail and depth.
JihadX: Nice point you brought up, about the muslim unity. Despite having diverse backgrounds, races, ethnicities, geographies and language - Muslims all over the world feel a strong bond with each other. There is a hadith of the Prophet (in my own words) that the Muslim Ummah is like the human body, when one part hurts, the rest of the body feels the pain and cannot sleep. (I think I mixed up the hadith, but I hope the reader gets the point)

My friend,
why then deny it when it is made manifest to you?

There are plenty of things I like and respect about Islam. Above all, I like Muslims, generally speaking, both individually and collectively (except the ones who put a fatwa on my and my saintly Christian mother�s heads for our sole crime of being Americans). Some of my best friends (but not awliyas, let it be clear, because I am at least nominally Christian ) have been and still are Muslims. I thought that comparing Judaism to Christianity was interesting and paradoxical enough, but adding Islam to the equation makes for a highly complex and involving religious calculus. I think, in general, that I like Islam because, to put it crudely, it is a sort of macho Christianity. Moreover, though it might sound unintentionally glib, when I first read the Quran, in English, of course, I thought that it sounded like the God of the Old Testament, the thundering, temperamental deity of Sinai, on anti-depressants. Gone, too, from the Quran, is the preoccupation with blood rites and rituals, so evidently favored by the followers of Moses. I could go on, but this is enough for now.
