Hi everyone!

I have some questions for muslims, and I'd really appreciate if you'd take some time to answer these.
If my English is a bit faulty at times, I apologise.

Anyways, on with the questions.

-      In what country/state do you live?
-      What is your profession?
-     Where were you born and how were you raised?
-     What was your family situation during your upbringing?
-     What role does the Islam have in your everyday life?
-     Do you think the Islam has a significance in a multiform society?
-     Do you or do you not support freedom of religion? If so, why? If not, why not?
-     Do you think the Islam is being represented enough in media and politics?

-     How does the Islam influence your life?
-     Do you believe in freedom within the Islam (Eg. Choosing whether females wear hijabs or not)? If so, why? If not, why not?
-     What significant differences are there between living as a muslim in the country you live on and living as a muslim in an Islam society?
-     Do you believe in rights for women and homosexuals? If so, why? If not, why not?
-     Have you ever been on a pilgrimage? If so, why? If not, why not?
-     How would someone live as a good muslim, according to you?
-     During the Ramadan, what special attention do you give to your religion besides fasting?
-     Do you regularly attend services at a mosque? If so, why? If not, why not?
-     What aspects of the Islam do you not believe in?
-     What aspects of the Islam do you feel are usually misunderstood?

If you take the time to answer these questions, I'd be very grateful!

Have a nice day,
Tenko.

Response: That is a lot of questions. I am curious as to why you would like answers to these questions. Perhaps you can tell us why so we can better address you.

It started off as a school project, but the more I got into the project, the more curious I got. Now, after all the research I've done for the school project, I was hoping I could get some more personal answers to some of my more personal questions.

my dear friend all your questions can be answered but the source is important. i can explain all the answers but my response miht not be the best. when you are questioning Islam or even trying to know it is better to go to a mufti and get details. a good man is mufti menk and you can search him online. or even zakir naik. ahmed deedat another exmaple of islamic knowledge. that should be your starting point

Hi,
I guess with these sort of your questions, your (church) school project is about profiling Muslims for whatever reasons they might give you to work on them. Do you have any specific reason that shall help you increase in your faith with the answers you are looking for?

I am currently not a part of any religion, but am open to new experiences and quite unfamiliar with the Islamic religion. As of now, these questions are for professional purposes, however, if I notice things that appeal to me, I might read into the religion more and possibly adapt it.

I hope that is somewhat the answer you were looking for.

So, I guess, these questions would be of little help in gaining right info.

I don't think that is a better approach. For 'Professional' needs one should approach Professionals not open forums like these. However, for personal enlightenment, you are most welcome, but then you would not like to start with such questions!
Cheers!
